CHICAGO, May 9-"This man says he is Q
Theosophist, said Officer Bolan, as he led

"A whatophist?" queried the court, as he
made a swipe at fly that was monkeying

"A Theosophist. One of those queer fell

81 was but projecting the astral as the
adopts of the east are wont to do" explains
the man, who had big wat about two
inches due east from his nose
The Court Was Skeptieal.
"Was it absolutely necessary for you to
project the astral hand into another mans
pocket and leave it there unprotected till
ii got hold of roll of bills and then call
it back,' interrupted the court, who was
inclined to be skeptical
"While a few of us possess the rare fac
ulty of projecting the astral we do not
claim to be in perfect cont rol of it and
able TO direct its COURSE" was the answer.
Good Many just Like Him.
There are about 800 persons out at the

THE political fever seems TO have taken
q firm hold of republican physicians in
the lower end OF the county. and the only
antidote that promises to reduce their
temperature in these particular cases is
allopathic doses of legislative and sena.
torisl capsules. DR.. W. M. Twiggs, OF
Illinois City, is the latest gentleman OF
the medical profession who shows de.
sire to serve this district at Springfield
He aspires to the lower house. The only
physician in the lower end that appears
to desire to serve his constituents other
than in politician way, is DR.. J. w.
Scott. OF Edgington. He, for the present
at least, is content with allevisting the
ills of suffering humanity. This is
somewhat strange, too. when it is con-
sidered that Scott is the best politician of
the bunch, and would rather get into a
discussion on the tariff than amputate a
limb. But then Scott is democrat,
naturally modest and reserved. and looks
with compassion on his misguided and
ambitious brethren.

Bishop Spaldipg,s Position

Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, stands
high US an exponent of Roman Catholic
opinion on all questions. He is eminent
as a scholar and distinguished in the lit
erature of that communion. He was one
of the first promoters of the American
Catholic university at Washington, and
it was by him that the foundation gift
was procured from Miss Caldwell.
Bishop Spalding expresses himself can
didly concerning the right of the state to
compel citizens to give their children ed
ucatiOn. He is in favor of the compul-
sorry education law. He draws attention
TO the injustice of attempting to compel
every citizen to send his children to any
one set or kind of schools, so long as the
children are acquiring the education that
will fit them for citizenship. He natur-
urally objects to vesting individuals with
power to jdterfere capriciously or mslic-
ionsly with the rights of other citizens
He says truly that ignorant men are
placed on school boards, and does not
deem it equitable that law shall empower
them to exercise arbitrary authority over
all others in the matter of schooling
Education in any school of good character
appears to him sufficient to comply with
the spirit of the compulsory school law,
interpreted in the light of constitutional
principles. He objects to oppressive in
reference with the Germans. who at their
own expense maintain schools in which
both German and English are taught To
enforce an obnoxious provision of the
law in an oppressive manner will only
furnish demsgogues with material to de
ceive the honest and dull The bishop is
an admirer of the German language and
German race, but holds the English will
take care of itself. ut is the language of
the country and people will learn it any
how. All other languages are bound to
be secondary to it in this country"
Right minded men of all shades of reli-
gious and political opinion must COM
mend the ressonableness of Bishop Spald;
ing's utterance.
