VOLUME THIRTY-FOUR.

With the present issue of The RIVER
FAILS JOURNAL this great family news
paper enters upon the thirty fourth
year of its existence in vigorous health
and sends greeting to its thousands of
readers. Other newspapers have been
established here as competitors of the
JOURNAL, but nipped by the chilling
frosts peculiar to a want of sufficient
business to justify their publication
have one by one succumbed to the in
evitable and been quietly laid at rest.
The JOURNAL, however, has success
fully weathered the storms of adver-
sity common to country newspapers"
and is one among a very few of its
class which has demonstrated the fact
that it is possible to conduct the pub
licatien of paper outside of the larger
cities upon business principles. The
JOURNAL has for many years been re-
garded by our people as one of the
fixed institutions" of this city, and
the most of them would as soon think
of trying to keep house without a
cooking stove as to get along without
this conveyor of local and general
information.
We are gratified to be able to make
these observations and shall in the
future as in the past endeavor to make
the JOURNAL an indispensable COM
modify in every household. We may
say without fear of successful contra
diction that the JOURNAL stands with
out an equal In the State of Wisconsin
in the volume of its local news and
the steadfast regularity with which
its local contributors forward their
neighborhOod news of interest.
1t is the policy of the JOURNAL. be-
sides being unsurpassed as a local
paper, to be conservative and right
upon questions of public concern and
thus merit the confidence so gener-
ously given it as manifested by the
patronage which it receives. We are
pleased to note the preference which
has heretofore been accorded to this
paper aud shall endeavor to so conduct
it in the future as to retain the good
will and esteem of our patrons.

A "sECTARIAN BOOK"

One of the most important cases de-
cided by the Wisconsin Supreme Court
in many years was that of Weiss against
the Edgerton district school board.
Some of the public school teachers there
were in the habit of reading the Bible to
their pupils. To this some Catholic pa
rents objected because the Bible used
was the King James edition, portions OF
which are repugnant to the Roman
Church. The Circuit Court for Rock
county overruled the demurrer of the
Catholics to the answer of the School
Board. The action of the Circuit Court
is now in turn overruled by the State Su.
preme Court, thus giving victory to the
Catholics and declaring that the reading
of the Bible in the public schools is UNI
constitutional. The court says that il
considering the question whether sucl
reading of the Bible in the public schools
/ is sectarian instruction, the book will be
regarded as a whole. 1t should be OBJ
served that some of the portions seem tC
inculcate the doctrine of the divinity OF
Jesus Christ and the punishment of the
wicked after death, which doctrines are
not accepted by some religious sects
The court further says that reading from
the Bible in the schools, although with
out comment on the part of the teacher
is instruction and holds that the Bible
contains many doctrinal passages, and
that the general reading of it is sectariar
instruction. 1t also holds that such text
books as are founded on the Fundamental
teaching of the Bible, or which may con
tain extracts therefrom, may not be USED
in the schools. The question seems tC
narrow down to this Is the reading OF
the Bible in the schools sectarian instruc
tons, in view of the facts already men
toned that the Bible contains numerous
doctrinal passages upon some of which
the peculiar creed of almost every relig
ious sect is based, and that such passages
may reasonably be understood to incul
cate the doctrines predicated upon themi
An affirmative answer to the question
seems unavoidable. Any pupil who lis.
tens to the reading of doctrinal portions
of the Bible will be more or less instruct
ed thereby in the doctrines of the divin
ity of Jesus Christ, the eternal punish
ment of the wicked, the authority of the
priesthood, the binding force of the eff
cacy of the sacraments, and many othel
conflicting sectarian doctrines.
