The Bible rs a Text Book.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-ltz was with peculiar pleasure that
/ read your editorial on DR.. herr's prop
osit:on to inject the Bible into the public
schools. Your admirable straightforward
and splendid arguments cannot be too
much commended; their justice and truth
cannot be denied. The one great glory
of our country is the complete separation
cii Church and State. and every attempt
to bring them together. however slight
and well-intentioned should be stoutly
resisted The Rev. DR., Kerr is one of the
noblest and broadeSt men we have in the
city, but in this instance his earnest de-
sire to abate pubic danger has run be-
You'd his judgment His mistake is one of
the head and not of the heart, and ! feel
assured thatEif he were convinced of his
mistake he would see that he is intro
ducing a greater danger than that which
he seeks Ito lessen and remove.
Even if every teacher in the public
schools had the knowledge, judgment,
tact and fine scholarship that DIR. Kerr
possesses. there would still be not only
error but injustice in the Introduction Of
the Bible as a textbook in the public
schools. The schools are more than non
sectarian. They are secular.

Russell Sage does not seem to be favor
ably impressed with the great railroad
combination and thinks that it will do
harm, He says that the danger lies in the
effect it VIII have in the weaker lines, as
it will compel them to struggle harder
than ever to get along, and that one Of
the weapons in the possession Of the
weaker lines is an appeal to the Legis-
lature. IF this combination is not con-
Quoted conservativeIy," he says the
next thing will be great public excitement
resulting in various States. a comhind-
ton of this sort throttles competition,
and the people don't like it. The man at
the head of it will have to be most care
full and conservative to avoid the dan
gers.

cIIPRENI TOPICS.

None OF the contributors to the New
York Journals symposium on the race
problem in the South has shown more
practical knowledge OF that problem than
Dr. Ira Remscn. president of Johns Hop
kins University. Dr. Remsen sums up
the whole question in one sentence: You
cannot correct the negro situation in the
South from the North Then he adds:
.'Thosei III the North who seek to remedy
the conditions which they say are to be
corrected must go themselves where the
negro population is the thickest, where
the question can be viewed at its worst.
They must make a constant study OF con-
ditionS and then set to work to right
them as they would an evil in their own
midst. This is the only way in which the
North could aid practically in solving the
problem ''-Baltimo-e Sun.
There should pc no disfranchisemen OF

In other words. If a voter is disfran-

the causes should be such that if he go
lHorrst1v to work to bridge the difficulty
he can do SO.

Staunton Spectator.
From a partisan point OF view, the IL
auor question promises to be as difficult
a problem for the Constitutional Conven-
ton as the suffras. question. If the con-
rentioli adopt the Quarles-Rarbou- res
olution it will impose a grievous hard
ship upon the liquor traffic and probably
drive a great many dealers out OF the bus
mess, with the certain result of greatly
reducing the revenues OF the State and
putting additional tax burdens upon real
estate and other classes of property.

it suit liquor dealers, liquor consumers

The Committee on General Education CT
tho Baptist Convention made an interest
ing report yesterday, which was adopted.
The report rectes the present educational
situation among tho Baptists Of Virginia
and declares it to lie unsatisfac Glory. There
are no endowed schools, except Ricil-
mond College: the chartered schools are
in most cases OVERLOOKING i patronage,
but utterly lacking in capacity for accom-
modations and are more or less in debt.
1t is the profound conviction of the COM
mittee that this condition of things will
not be bettered so long as a policy so inn
pulsive, eccentric and independent is pur-
sued. The committee believes that the
schools ought to be brought under de-
nominatfonal control and while not yen
turing to suggest any schedule of until
cation, it expresses the conviction that
the united wisdom of the Baptist people
can devise a System of coordination
for the schools which will suppress rival
ries, establish better standards, hold
and guard the school property from loss,
and yet neither destroy the autonomy Of
the several schools nor disturb their local
management In other words, it is the
opipion:of7the committee that there should
be a "tommunity Of interests" such IS
now exists among the great railroads of
the country and other corporations and
pool issues. This principle of .'co-ordina-
ton" is the great commercial principle
of the age and is being applied in all de-
partmcnts of business. It has been dis
covered that competition is frequently
the death Of trade rather than the life
of trade, and that more is to be gained
by arbitratinG than by fighting.

CHICAGO'S FALSE PROPHET.
Dowie Claims Physicians Are Trying
10 kidnap Him.

Chicago, June 16.-John Alexander
Dowie announced at his meeting at Zion
Tabernacle to-day that certain physicians
of this city have formed plot to kidnap
him, lock him in detention hospital and
beat him on the head and back until he
should lose all his reasoning powers and
become really insane.
He said that the kidnapping might take
place tonight and after his service he
called a special private meeting of the
male members of Zion to take steps to
help the Zion Guard in protecting him.
He also made threats against the physi-
clans that he would do to them as he
thought they were trying to do to him
until they shall let him alone and stop
calling him a paranoiac.
With all this, Dowie repeated contin-
ually his pretensions to be Elijah reincar-
mated, making way for the end of the
world, and he incidentally laid claim 20
immortality until such time as his work
was accomplished.

Dr. Rixey said tonight after leaving the

her condition. She sat up in her rolling
chair during the day and chatted and
laughed with the President. and others
at her bedside. AS night came on Mrs.
Mckinley again took 10 her bed after
passing a fairly comfortable day. During
the past three days the weather has been
cloudy and rainy and to-day was partie-
ularly gloomy. This had a somewhat
depressing effect on the patient, but with
the return of good weather more salts
factory results are expected. The day
was very quiet one at the White House.

Williams of Chicago. accompanied by
their son. called during tie evening,
and others left their cards.
Word comes from Canton, o., that uhe
improvements on the Presidents home
there are about completed. and that every
thing will be in readiness for occupancy by
the first of July If Mrs. McKinley's
condition permits her removal by that
time, she will be taken to her Ohio home,
where it is believed the chances for per-
manent improvement will be greater than
in Washington. Hope is expressed that
she may be able to travel by the first
of July If the present rate of progress to-
wards recovery is maintained.
