One day last week woman stepped
into the County Trustees office and
presented two school claims-each call
ing for S25-tor payment. The claims
were for teaching in the 18th district,
and had the names of the school direct
ors attached. Trustee Smith examined
the claims closely, and upon discovering
that the initials to the name Of one of
the directors were reversed, "smclt Il
mouse" and refused to pay them. He
then told the woman Of his suspicion
that the claims were not only not drawn
up right, but that the signatures were
not genuine. The woman left the Of
flee, and Mr.. Smith called upon Super
ntendent Wattcrson, who informed him
that no such party had been teaching
school in the 18th district-that there
was only one public school in that dis
trict, which was being taught by John
Hopkins. Mr.. Smith returned to his
Office with the intention Of having the
woman arrested if she called again,
but she had skipped the town.
She was accompanied TO town by man,

An Lntaresting Interview.

interviewed by Globe Democrat reporter, with the
following result
People call you an infdel too, because you
didnt Join with Governor Foster, Of Ohio, in
proclamation Of prayer and fastingT
"They did"
"You don't appear to have worried over the
storm Of indignation you evokedT'
Not ut ALL gave my reasons in my reply"

"They were. This union of church and state is
all wrong. It has taken large and moro arduous
battle to divide the church from the state than II
did to achieve our national Independence. You
know how IL was in England in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. Men Of one faith fought
for the right to uphold II against another. When
they couldn't achieve II in the old country they
cnmc TO the new. You had the Congregational
lists in Massachusetts,. the Quakers In Pennsyl-
vanla, the Lutherans in New York, the Baptists in
Maryland, and the Hugueuots in the Carolinas.
Each class had its faith and that faith swayed the
State, especially, the books tell us, in New Eng
land. Only church members voted, and In all es-
sential matters the conventice was supreme. But
toward the middle of the eighteenth century came
along the free shrinking English artisan and
Scotch Presbyterian, who fed from the defeat Of
Culloden aud Preston Pans. These were a thrifty,
cultivated, logical class and they gradually dis
seminaed the leavcn whose creation is the present
outward separation of church aud state. | say
outward, because, as you well know, 1t is
only in name. The religious principle
of New England and Ohio makes their politics.
We have seen plenty OF that in the war, and it is
this unconscious, subtle union of the church and
state In the public mind that shows to the front in
days Of thanksgiving and fasts of solemn prayer.
1t is all right to fast and pray don't object, but
do not see the necessity for the Governor Of n
State directing Its religious concerns and hence
thought 1t was about time to inaugurate the con.

that

Third-The Sunday Herald says that II should be
"the same as in the army and nayy"-that is, for

In referring TO the proposed four-year term II
further says that at Is 70 do the DEVILS work so
effectively that only fatuity Or dementla can ex-

Servant of the servants of God" as
the Pope signs himself, the Bishop of Rome and

that our day may sec the Pope no longer In the

adduced against the very idea of his leaving the

place chosen as the papal seat by Clement ", who
was not even conseorated in Rome. Many mem
