Pan-AmerIcnn Renort..

WASHINGTON, March 2I.-The
Pan-AmeriCan conference today
adopted report from the committee
on communication on the Atlantic
and Pacific, recommending the
granting Of government aid TO lines
Of steamers.
The monetary committee pre-
sented reports.
The South and Central American
delegates on the committee united
in a report In favor Of an interna-
ticnal silver coin.
Estee, one Of the United States
members, agreed in the general
recommendation, but differed in de-
tail. He recommends the coinage
Of silver dollars Of 4l2 grains, go
fine, ami the organization Of the
monetary union, under whose direc-
ton the coinage IL 10 be executed.
He and the foreign delegates favor
bi-metallism, but Mr.. Coolidge. the

the resolution does provide that Con-
gress shall make laws respecting an
establishment OF religion
The analysis of the whole resolution,
therefore. is this.
It proposes that the United States
Government shall establish religion;
and that Congress shdH make laws
respecting that establishment Of reli-
gion.
But the Constitution as it is says;
"Congress shall make no lac respect
ing an establishment Of religion"
Therefore, both in its title and lis
provisions the Blair resolution to
amend tho Constitution of the United
States is distinctly a proposition TO
annul that clause OF the Constitution
as IL IS which forbids an establishment
OF religion.
That clause Of the Constitution is,
and was intended TO be, the declara-
ton Of one OF the fundamental and
distinctive principles OF our form Of
government.
The Blair resolution, being propo-
ition TO annul that clause. is a propo-
siiion to destry one OF the distinctive
features OF our form Of government,
and is therefore REVOLUTIONARY.

under the guise Of a patriotic desire
to save government funds But
whatever sordid motives may have
moved the promoters Of these advo-
Gates for a change, the fact shows
up in the midst Of all, clearly and
Enthusiastically, that the bleeding
of Uncle Sam in the past and the
further attempt at phlebotomy in
the present are shameful and de
ceptive, and it is becoming more
and more perceptible every day,
that the whole concern is q fizzle
and an inexcusable waste Of nation
al funds.

COMMANDER McCALLA.

THOSE who have followed closely
the investigation into the charges OF
inhuman and brutal treatment Of
subordinates preferred against Com
mander McCalla, OF the American
war ship Enterprise have doubtless
been appalled, and Disguised at the
consequent disclosures. That such
barbaric treatment should have been
carried on aboard q vessel belong
ing to the great Republic is an an-
omaly. The accused officer treated
his men as if they were dogs. For
trivial Ofenses he struck them with
his sword, telling them bleeding to
the deck, or would order them placed
in irons, threatening some OF them
with death. He was, according to
the testimony OF the witnesses, ex-
piosiye and unreasonable. When

fcatioB. he, blinded with rage, re-

ing in n little side investigation on
their own account, not connected
with that relating to McCalla's con-
duct on the Enterprise. They inter

AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RE.
LEGION.

AT no time in the history OF the
American Republic have so many
important constitutional questions
arisen in relation TO existing and
proposed legislation. One Of the
latest is associated with what has
been called a "religious amend
ment." Under the caption of "The
Revolutionary Resolution" the
american Sentinel contains the fol-
lowing pithy article:
There is a point in that religious
amendment 10 the Constitution that
has not been made as much Of as 1t
ought TO be. The title Of the PROPOSE
ton is this:
Joint resolution proposing an amend
ment 10 the Constitution OF the United
States, respecting establishments OF religion
and free public schools.
Now set that alongside Of this clause
Of the Constitution as IL IS. and consider
them together:
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment OF religion
II the purpose OF this proposed
amendment is not TO annul that clause
OF the Constitution as it Is, and so open
the way for a national establishment
OF religion, then what can possibly be
the purpose Of il?
This being. logically, the purpose of
the resolution as defined in the title,
afurther question is, does the body Of
the resolution bear out thelogic OF the
title' Let Us see. Section 2 says:
Each state in this Union shall e.tsSfsA
and maintain system OF free public schools
adequate for the education Of all the child
ren living therein. between the ages of SIX
and sixteen years. inclusive. in the common
branches oflesrnir <. in virtue and moral
ity. and IN knowledge Of the I4zdsner.GI
and non teetariAn principles of chrisian-
Ey.
And section says:
The United States shgR guarantee 70 every
State and to the people of every state. and |
of the Unred States. tAe support 0ni raaia- |
fenance ersuca Gystcra Of free public schools |
q. herein provided
The analysis Of these sections is this:
A system shall be established which
shall embody "the principles OF
The United States shall guarantee the
Of such a system.
Therefore this resolution does pro-
pose that the United States Govern
ment shall maintain an establishment
Of Christianity.
Now Christianity IS the expression
and embodiment OF 4 relig ion.
This resolution proposes to pledge
The United States Government 10 the
of an establishment Of
hristianity.
Therefore this resolution does pro-
pose TO pledge the United States Gov
.rnment to the maintenance OF an
of religion.
Again; Section Of the resolu ton
'sys:
Congress s.oz enforce this article by ap-
'ropriAte legislation when necessary.
As the preceding sections Of this
rticle provide for and guarantee an
Of religion-of Christi
nifty; and as this section provides '
hat Congress shall enforce the article Z
v appropriate legislation; therefore {

THE BIBLE EXCLUDED FROM
THE SCHOOLS.

A FEW days ago the Supreme
Court Of Wisconsin rendered de-
cision the effect OF which Is to pro-
hibit the reading Of the Bible in
the public schools Of that Stale.
Following is a quotation from the
opinion:
''Some Of the most valuable instruc-
ton a person can receive may be de-
rived from reading alone, without any
comment or exposition OF the question;
therefore. the question seems 10 mar
row down 10 this: Is the reading Of
the Bible in the public schools. not
merely selected passages therefrom,
but the whole Of it, seciarian instruc-
ton Of the pupils. in view OF the facts
already mentioned, that tho Bible
contains numerous dociTinal passages
upon some Of which the peculiar creed
Of almost every religious sect is based,
and that such Passages may reason
ably be understood TO inculca:e the
doctrines predieated upon them? An
affirmative answer TO the question
seems unavoidable. Any pupil Of
ordinary intelligence who listens to
the reading Of doc;rinal portions Of
the Bible will be more or less iu-
struc:ed thereby in the doctrines OF
the divinity Of Jesus Christ, the eier-
nal punishment Of the wicked, the
authority Of the priesthood, the bind
ing force OF the efficacy Of the sacra-
ments, and many other conflicting
sectarisn doctrines"
Among the Protestant citizens OF
Wisconsin much Indignation is ex-
pressed over this remarkable deci-
sion, but II is, Of course, in line
with the policy Of the Catholic
church. 1t is certainly a remark
able innovation upon what IS
deemed TO be the law in all or near
ly all the other States in the Union.
