\ German Opinion OF the Bennett

Translated from The Milwaukee AbeI

Translated from The Milwaukee Abendpost.
Does the Bennett law interfere with any
OF the rights of the parochial school?
This question is being seriously discussed
by the opponents of the law. They claim
that the law does interfere with the rights
of the parochial schools, while the defend
crS of il deny this in the most positive
manner. Let us therefore examine the
matter. To arrive at fair understanding.
let us first inquire: What are the rights OF
the parochial schools? The answer is,
they are:
l. The right of organization. Parochial
schools are organized by churches. Now,
does the Bennett law interfere i'll any way
with this right? Certainly not.
2. The right to teach any religion. The
public school has no such right under the
law. Does the Bennett law interfere with
this right by word OF even by letter. Sure
~ not.
3. The right to teach any language or
any branch of knowledge. Do we find in
the Bennett law one point which III any
way questions or Intcrfcres with this right.
BY no means. In the parochial school, as
il should be, any language on earth Is per
lnttcd to be taught.
(. The right 10 accept children who have
been taken away from the public school
by their parents Is this right III any way
disputed by the Bennett law? Certainly
not. On the contrary the Bennett la"
gives. in Section 2 every parent the right
to have his or her children educated
'.otherwiSe'' than in the public schools.
The above four points constitute the
leading objects for which the parochial
school is created and maintained. They
are therefore the rights of the pafochlal
school. Now does the Bennett law inter
fcre with any one Of these rights? Every
intelligent lawyer and every court Will
most decidedly answer this question IN the
negative

A YANKEE TRICK.
London Brokers Squeezed by Our Own
DIR. Warner.

The London Stock Exchange have
complained through Consul General
New, To the State Department OF the
United States. that Yankee trick had
been played on it by DR.. Warner, of
Rochester, \. Y, the patent medi-
cine man, and it is affording much
amusement. \ year ago DR.. Warner
went 10 London 10 sell his business for
S5.000.000 cash. The proposed pur
chasers found that he paid $4,000 a
wear for advertising and cleared 5000,
600 wear. But they failed TO raise the
8. 900 200. and DR.. Warner went into
the syndicate business himself, organ
lied company with S5,0oo,000 stock in
$50 shares and got it listed on the Lon
don Stock Exchange. The stock, 1t was
shown, would pay 10 to ID per cent. div
idend. and the British public fairly
cried for it. The doctor meanwhile
kept three-quarters of the stock hlm-
self. Soon brokers had sold more than
they could get to deliver. and there was
squeeze that carried the stock up to
500 per share, and many settlements
were made on that basis. DR.. Warner
intimated when asked for stock that he
thought il worth about $500 per share,
and has disposed Of considerable on that
basis. He will make from $50, ZOO, 600 to
$40. 600, 600 on the deal, and the Con
sular bureau of the state department is
not Worrying about II.

"The little school house" is the emblem
of the Republicans in Wisconsin this year,
and it seems to be as popular as was the
log cabin III Indiana two years ago.
The Bennett law does not deal with the
parochial school in any way. but with par
ents. 1t says TO the parent or guardian:
You are not permitted to leave your child
without that education which is required
BY this law. And what are these require
ments? Every child between the ages Of
and IT years must receive instruction Ill
reading. writing, arithmetic and American
history in English three months in each
year. That is all the Bennett law attempts
to do.
If, therefore, any parent claims the right
to keep his child in ignorance the state.
through this law. SAYS: You have no Sucn
right For the sake OF your children. l
(the statej must see to il that they acquire
those branches which are absolutely essen
tal for the general development. and. at
the same time. for the common possession
of all intellectual life. Your children
must also be educated. as Luther has
taught, ito good citizenship" Their ed
ucation should not be left to accident, or to
caprice but il is the business OF the state
power" as Luther calls II. ITO force you 10

sake of the state. for Its SELF
preservation and development. To en-
able vour children to do their duties as citi-
zens and jurors, the state has and must
have the right TO urge careless parents 10
educate their children. And in doing this
through the Bennett law. the state does
not interfere with any of the rights of the
Parent or the parochial school. Only
when parents do not obey the law, only
then. the law interferes for the benefit of
the child and the welfare of the state.
The Bennett law Is not designed for any
particular nationality, but for all. 1t
speaks to the Anglo-American as well as
to the foreign born parent, 1t has been in

what scores of detectives and deputy
sherifis have failed to do in a hot chase
of nearly years duration. McDutfie
started out about two months ago with
the determination Of capturing the ban
dit and the s. 500 prize placed upon his
head. McDuftie on several occasions
came very near locating his
man, but in some mysterious
way Rube always became aware
of the threatened danger and
took flight. 1t was proven beyond
doubt that Burrows was in Marengo
County, and for over week McDutiie
has been quietly at work. Rube had
sent him word that a meeting would
mean the death of one or the other, and
McDuffie, who is also a game man,
nevertheless decided to entrap the rob
ber by strategy.
''He received information from man
who knew Burrows personally, that the
desperate was in hiding in the back
country near MyrtleWOod. message

was in trouble in the town,

gantOwn, Ind.

INDIANAPoLIs. Ind, oct. Morgan
town, a little hamlet in Morgan County,
has been enjoying variegated taste OF
border life ever since last Friday morn
ing, when a crowd of dozen toughs
undertook to "clean out" the saloon of
Rodney Huff at that place. When the
attacking party appeared a pitched bat
tie was begun, in which clubs. knives,
and even reyolvers played a part. The
attacking party were beaten oil
after a long fight, which
resulted in number of bro
ken heads and knife wounds, none of
which were dangerous. Since the first
engagement the fight has broken out in
spots at various times and eliminated
ut 1 o'clock this morning in the explo-
sion of an immense charge of dynamite
under Huff s saloon, completely wreck
ing the building and destroying It's con-
tents. Suspicion falls upon the men
