The introduction of the bill at
this session also indicates that the
cen who favor it are not honestly
supporting municipal and county
governments. The sale OF liquor
and the saloon question are matters
which'it is the special province Of
county and city governments to deal
with, and the attempt to take them
out of the hands of such sub. govern
ments and allow the Territorial
Government to regulate the import.

Of the bill believe in Capitalization

A question OF such a gr eat i'm.
portance as that dealing with the
sale Of liquor should have been
made plank in any platform, on
which a candidate for legislative
honors stood, when asking for the
votes Of his fellow citizsns. The
men who voted for DR.. Russell we're
never asked their opinions and
wishes in regard to the sale Of
liquor and we do not see, by what
authority the honorable senator
dares to spring on the country a
measure which he must know will
be condemned by the voters. His
bill may be good in some points,
but it is not for him to decide, or
for his colleagues to act upon, with
out the approval of the people. Let
bill providing for the Dispensary
system be framed, submitted to the
Legislature now, and held over un-
til the next session, and il the voters
elect men favoring that bill, let it
be passed by all means, and the
minority will humbly bow to the
strength Of the majority,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

this being the case, the janitor should be
made to oversee them and be responsible
for their conduct as well as their safety
at such times. Injury to little child dur

to order that the two lowest grades should
take their recess at different time from

janitor, who shirked this duty Of supervi-

rebelled outright when the time was ex-
tended to thirty. 1t is to he hoped that

t. the Editor of The Evening Star:
A. We understand il the worst that Is
said OF the school hymnal is that 1t is 10 a
certain extent, not largely, Christian. The
board of education has known, as has been
shown over and over again by the highest
legal decisions that ours is IN general a
CHRISTIAN nation. Ii is not heather ma
ton nor = Mohammedau nation, nor an
atheistic nation. Christianity Is -inseparable
from the laws OF the land. We put II into
every letter We write, every deed we sign
every prOclams ton issued by President or
governor. It is recognized day by day in
every session of the Senate ami the House.
We have had jews and atheists in Congress.
but they we're too wise men and too fair
men to protest against faith which un-
dCrlies the whole fabric OF our national
existence.
. The schoo! hyural as far as it has in 1t
any religious element. IS In harmony not
only with our general iegisla tion, but with
the sentiments Of vast majority OF the
M ton. Now. the proposition is, II we do
not mfsapprehend It. to have the board OF
education. ae the demand Of small mi
nority. disregard the sentiment of the ma
tority and to throw out all distinctive Chris
t!anfty from the hymnal and so forth from
the public schools
Such action involves a tremendous respon-
sibiIty. Nothing more disastrous 10 our local
Institutions has ever been proposed For
intended by those behind Il that II shall
stop there. They not only reject Christian
ity, but some of them deny the existence OF
God. Now, II at the demand or a small
minority YOU are going TO put out Chris
tianity, why, at the demand Of a smaller
minority. are you not bound to put out
God himself? The principle is the same
On the lin. upon which it is proposed the
board OF education shall act they will be
bound TO forbid the singing OF such hymns
as God Bless Our Native Land To this
complexion It would come at last To this
complexion We believe 1t Is planned to have
II come. VIII the board yield TO this de
mand? They have done well so far. They
have gone in this matter as far as any
fair and reasonable man can ask in saying
that those who do not wish TO use the
hymnal need not. To go further and say
that the great majority who do wish L
use IL shall not, is something we believ,
ihe board will never do Let them stand by
their action as il IT, and 90 per cent o
the community will stand with them.

Grip and Appendicitis.

The somewhat startling statement of DR..
Lucas Championniere made to the Academy

Action on Plan for Arbitrating Labor
Controversies.

The annual meeting of the American
Newspaper Association was continued Yes
terday in the Waldorf Astoria in New
York.
The morning session was devoted to a
discussion of the plan for arbitration OF
labor controversies which had been sub
mtted by special committee yesterday.
After adjournment it was announced that
the association had unanimously adopted a
resolution ratifying the plan of arbitration
as proposed by representatives of the
Newspaper Publishers Association and the
International Typographical Union. The
agreement now awaits ratification by the
LEGAL typographical unions.
At the afternoon session DR.. V. Mott
Pierce of Buffalo read paper on Sub
stitution." He explained his meaning by
saying that it is common for druggists and
others when purchaser comes for some
well advertised article, to say that they
have not the article in question, but some
thing equally as good, and then proceed to
sell the customer some article of their own
manufacture. He asked aid in breaking up
the practice.
A committee from the Advertising
Agents Association. consisting of C. H.
Fuller and D. M. Lord of Chicago; NJ. V.
Putnam of Boston, and M. Zimmerman
OF New York, appeared before the associa-
ton to protest against the indiscriminate
payment of commissions to persons repre-
senting themselves as established agents.
No action was taken on the protest of the
committee.

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.
German Specialist Coming on a Mis-
sion Of InYestiEatfOn.

Baron Hermann, agricultural expert Of
the German embassy has received word
from the German government that spe-
c1al1st designated by the agricultural socie-
ties Will soon leave Berlin for the United
States to make a careful inquiry into the
use Of American agricultural machinery
with view to the introduction into gen.
eral use in Germany. The movement is
highly satisfactory to Baron Hermann, who
has for some time been urging upon the
Germany authorities the marked adyan-
tages of American agricultural machinery
Moreover he looks upon the move one
likely to prove beneficial both to German
agriculture and to American manufacture
ers, as it promises to open a new mar
ket for American goods in the farming
sections Of Germany.
The marked advantages of American ag-
ricultural machinery in the labor saving
appliances have appealed to Germany for
some time. but not until now has any
positive action been taken to bring about
the Introduction of the American articles
Just now the question appeals Germany
with added. jf6h0e, as the agricultural sec
tons are being depopulated while the man
ufacturing centers are being overcrowded.
Under these circumstances it Is felt to
be desirable to give every modern facility
to the agricultural class to continue the
productive capacity of the farms to their
full limit. The officials have observed in
this connection that the want Of farm Ia
Dor in America has stimulated invention
in innumerable labor-saving lines, which
have now taken the place of hand labor.
| These include not only the ponderous ma
| chimes operated on large western farms.
but also comparatively small devices of
| farm labor, all contributing greatly to
| the economy Of farm production.
Baron Hermann has urged them Upon the
government, and 1t Is now the purpose to
make thorough inquiry, both on he farms
| and in the agricultural factory The eX-
| pert will arrive in this country about the
| time the sowing season begins, and through
| the spring and summer will give his atten-
| ton to the farms, going to the agricul.u-
| raj factories In the fall Baron Her
| mann foresees in the movement results
alike beneficial to both countries.
