INDIANA
Leads in a New Temperance
Movement.

In Indiana. licenses to sell liquor are
issued by The County Commissioners.
Several years ago the legislature pro-
vided = law by which . remonstrAnce
against q particular license, signed by
Q majority OF ihe voters In the ward or
township. became mandatory upon the
court and prevented the issuance Of the
license. The labor OF continually remou-
strzting against every applicant became
ITO great and the Law became practical
iy imperative, but the old principle Of
authorizing an agent 10 sign ones ma me
for him Was invoked; and demonstrating
by power of attorney" has been prac-
ticed in many cases for some months
past. The friends of the saloon, of
course, fought this In the courts- just
recently the supreme court has upheld
the power of attorney remonstrance.
Now in any ward or township in the
state where there Is . majority who
will put their names TO power Of At
torney and leave them there, it Is pos
sible To exclude the saloon by remon-
stra ting against every applicant as he
appears
This opens the way to the easy
eli min alton Of the saloon from all coun-
ties, townships and wards where the
people are opposed To IL, and 1t will be
strange IL . strong arousement of
TIE importance sentiment in that State
does not soon follow.

upon = question involving certain reli-
gious and anti-religious prejudices.
But bolder and more Discriminating
spirit animated the great convention
at Minneapolis. AS the highest expo
nent Of the public school life OF Amer
lea the National Educational Associa-
tion has definitely committed the infiu-
ence Of the teaching force TO the propo-
sition that the Bible mas q proper and
rightful place in the scheme of secular

divorced from religious formularies.
They ask indeed that the book shall be
taught ~ literature rather than as q
manual of ethics. But the fact that the

form Of the convention Immediately fol-
lows q sturdy resolution on the impor-
tsnce Of moral teaching In the schools,
seems to be significant OF the esequences
