DIR. m1NToN,s WARNING.

There Is a highly intelligent and worthy
class among the American people, strong
in numbers and powerful in influence,
which resents bitterly anything which
seems to involve condemnation of the
public school system as at present MAIN
tained and administered. Many worthy
and discerning men of this class seem
unable to distinguish between legitimate
criticism and condemnation, and are dis
posed to resent criticism as involving in
some way or other hostility to the idea
of universal popular education.
The Idea Of non-sectarianism has a
strong hold on the sympathies and feel
ings Of this class of citizens, as we'll as
on the Judgment of many of them. With
them a word written OF spoken against
the purely non-religious character of the
instruction given to American youth in
the public school must necessarily be d.
rected against non-sectarianism and in
support of the views Of one or other of
the various religious sects regarding the
schools.
This feeling is cultivated by prejudiced
and unthinking writer's in the daily press;
and the idea is fondly cultivated that
some particular church or creed-most
frequently the Catholic church-is behind
all such criticisms.
Despite all this the conviction con-
tinues to grow. and more especially
among those classes who have little care
for one church or creed beyond another,
burt who may be regarded as represent
ing tho Christian spirit of the age and
country. that the plan Of so-caned nom
Eectarian education is attended by seri-

LAND ENOUGH FOR ALL

We have heard q great deal in the
past few years about the overcrowding
Of American society, and about the diff
ficulty which confronts the average set
tier of securing an available piece of
land to settle upon, without paying a.
ton assumed by a certain class Of
students of this question one would be
disposed to think that every acre of
available land was under cultivation
and that the process of territorial sub
division had EXTENDED to almost the
length which at present distinguishes
French agrarian society.
Readers of current press dispatches
from North Dakota and elsewhere
throughout the Northwest will find ls
difficult to accept the current notion in
this regard. The entries in the Devils
Lake land office, for instance, Snow that
the rush for free homesteads is quite as
great today as it has been at any time
within ten years, save on exceptional oc-
casions such as the opening of reserva-
lions and Ike events. Indeed the entire
trend OF immigration from far, as we'll
as of migration from certain sections Of
the country, shows that there are almost
as good opportunities awaiting the in
dustrious settler today as there ever
were
When one looks at the high degree of
prosperity amounting to actual wealth
on good land under the early operation
of the homestead laws It might seem
difficult to reconcile the statement with
the present condition of those who are
now settling In the Dakotas and else
where throughout the Northwest. But
it should not be forgotten that the men
who settled twenty-five years ago on
government land in this and other sec
lions had much harder time of It than
have or are likely to have the men who
are now pouring in upon US. Twenty-Five
years hence these men and their fami-
lies will be as content with their lot as
are those early settlers Of the West.
For a half century the American pub
lilo has witnessed the influx Of foreign
population through Castle Garden, and
never stopped to think of the real sig
niicance of the circumstance So. to-
day the same tremendous movement is
in progress, and we here in the North
west are the most signal benefciaries
of 1t. We will not today stop to reckon
its significance; but our children will,
and the same lesson precisely will be
read by them that has been read by
us.
The social student will have great diff
ficulty always in deciding for himself
whether social or political influences have
cut the largest figure in the tremendous
settlement which has been in progress
Of American land for the past two or
three generations. Whatever conclusion
may be arrived at, the fact will always
remain, one of the most impressive rel
ative to popular progress in this and
the last century, that the waste places
of American territory have filed up at
phenomenal rate. while the choicest
lands Of the world outside our bound
aries have remained neglected by the
overflow of old-world population.

DAMAGES FOR LYNCHrNG

Under the old English common law.
''the hundred a political division after
which our township was modelled, was
held responsible for the crimes committed
by its inhabitants. If a murder was COM
mitted, the friends Of the victim called
upon the hundred to punish the criminal
or respond in damages. The scheme
worked well in the then stage of So
ciety. The hundred, including the i'm
mediate relatives and friends of the cul-
prit, were transformed into a committee
Of the whole, whose duty was to see
that the criminal was captured and that
justice was done. There was no shield
ing Of crime by relatives, because tho
penalty rested on those left behind II
the guilty one escaped.
The supreme court of Ohio has decided
that county must respond in DAMAGES
to the representatives of g man who
has been lynched by mob. This is as
it shorll be. Under no circumstances

Gus social dangers, and that the elimi-
nation of religious instruction from the
training of the youth of the country
may in the future be followed by serious
results on the moral sense of the people.
Nor is this element of society in the
slightest measure affected by regard for
one over another of the religious sects;
while the bulk of those comprising it
may be regarded as members in good
standing of the different churches.
1t is this view of the matter which
found expression in the sermon delivered
by the Rev. DR.. Minton. the moderator
of the Presbyterian assembly, now in
session in Philadelphia, on Sunday last
Referring to the public schools, Dr. Min
ton is quoted as saying:
God forbid that 1 should say ar i'll
word against our public school system.
the safeguard of our nation, but is the
educational machinery subsidiary to the
only worthy end of fashioning char2c-
ter? Have VIE, so norbidly afraid of unit
diSunite God from the state? This is
most serious question. The faith of our
sons and daughters is involved and the
kingdom of God in our country is in
volYed 1t is not an organized skepti-
cism that threatens, but God-foFbld-
ding secularism.'
All efforts thus far put forward to
remedy the situation on which Dr.. Minton
thus sounds an alarm have been most
frequently met by the persons Of super
sensitive patriotic feelings by more
or less carefully concealed intimations OF
the operation of Jesuitical niiu-
ences Such persons, especially in the
press, have been able to keep alive the
blind adhesion to the schools, as they
are, which has done and is doing so
much today to render them even edu-.
cetionally inferior Notwithstanding the
almost fabulous sums which are ex-
pended in their maintenance.
There can be no suspicion attaching to
the words of Dr. Minton as proceed
ing from any less honorable purpose than
desire to promote the welfare Of the
American people and strengthen the hold
of the public school on the Judgment and
devotion of that people What he says
cannot be whistled down the wind by
mere calumnious breath about the de-
signs of this church or that on the free
public schools They will bear fruit, in
spite of the blatant patriotism which
has made the utterance of such senti-
ments to involve a reflection on the
Americanism of their authors.
1t will not be long before the good
sense of Americans will lead them to
inquire fully and fairly into the opera
ton of the prevailing system of non
religious public instruction, with a view
to determining whether it produces the
results in given directions which are
essential to be produced for the pro-
motion of the moral, ethical and educa-
tional interests of the state.

1t is impossible under ordinary circum-
stances to detect, arrest and bring the
leaders of mob to justice Although
every man taking part in lynching is
guilty of murder, it would not be expe-
dent, even if it were possible, to punish
them according to law. 1t is like deal
ing with mutiny in an army, where
whole regiments resist lawful authority.

Where the proper public sentiment ex-
lists there VIII be no excuses. This inter

to the municipal divisions where outrages
