The point is just made against the
Bennett law that it's socialistic law. 1t
is in the direction of socialistic theories
The aim of socialism is to obliterate indi-
yidualism, abolish the family, have the
state assume the care and control Of the
children. One reason why the Luther
ans regard the law with such abhor-
renee is because it is the entering wedge OF
acialism, precedent for still further ag-
gression on TIE domain Of the family in
the direction Of the theorists of those
uitrapatcrHaIists who are seeking to give
the state all control and curtail the author
ity of parent and the individuaism Of the
person.

The Milwaukee Protestants are moving
In a phalanx more or less solid to support
the Bennett law. 1t Is not so much that
they care for the law, as that they like to
see it give otfense to the German Catholics
and Lutherans. The Bennett law would
never have been heard of if it had not
been advertised 1t would have slept
among the still-born laws that are passed
by unwisdom and ignored by the com
mon sense of the people.
THE judges of the supreme court should
seek cover now. The clergy Of Milwaukee
are moving to 5all monster convention
to illuminate decision that will declare
the supreme court decision in the Bible
case the poorest kind Of poor law. The
judges are unmoved, however. Having
decided the law as they believe it to be,
and in accordanbe with sound legal prin-
clples, having satisfied their judgments,
their consciences, and the enlightened
spirit of the age, and the truest idea of
religious freedom, they can regard the
murmurings of sectarianism with the
calmest Indifference.
