RESPONSIBILITY OF DRIVERS
The Albany Law Journal reports an
interesting negligence case recently be-
fore the courts of New York. The plain
tiff, while standing early one evening
near the middle of one of the streets of
the Borough of Queens. waiting for a
trolley car, was knocked down and bad
ly injured by a runaway horse and wa
gon. There was no driver on the wa
gon, and the owner of the runaway, who
was sued by the injured man, contend
ed that no negligence on his part could
be inferred from the accident happen
ing the way it did. 1t was held, how
ever that the rule is otherwise. and
that 1t is negligence to allow horses to
be in the public streets unattended. 1t
was also held that the plaintiff was not
guilty of contributory negligence be-
cause of the fact that he was standing
in the street waiting for a car, and did
not see the runaway on account of
darkness. (kelly VS.. Adelman, N. Y.

FEATURES OF THE COAL STRIKE.

| Efforts to settle the coal strike inten-
sify among the leaders of the move
ment and interested public officers. An
official and legal adviser of the operat-
ors' side has demanded action by the
federal authorities against the strikers
on the ground that they are interfering
that an injunction be issued restraining
them and that 1t be enforced by the
power of the national government, cit
ing the Debs case as precedent. He
urges some strong points to support
him. The other side seeks receivers
ship for the mines and railroads on
similar grounds-that they are inter-
fering with interstate commerce. Mean
time both the operators and the strik-
operators are determined not to rec
ognize the miners union, while the Of
ficials of the. latter seem determined
that they shall. This is one of the chief
points that occasionally comes to the
surface.
Despite disclaimers to the contrary,
there is considerable politics involved
in the movement. 1t is because miners
have votes that public officials handle
them so gingerly or cautiously. It is
from motives of prudence. however,
rather than any other that they are
why political considerations should en-
ter, and chiefly desire to keep hands
off.
Meanwhile new complication
threatens unwise officials of the
Western Federation of Mine Workers
have sent telegram-,to President
Mitchell of this tenor:
.Exigenciese demand that no coal of
any kind be mined in the United States
until the anthracite strike is won. The
Western Federation of Miners will CO.
operate to this end
A tie-up of soft coal mining would
arouse the people as never before. 1t
would be an embargo on commerce that
would call for action and solution at
once by the federal authorities.
There is hope yet that by mutual
concessions the contention may be
settled. II, however, Cover
nor Stone and the federal authorities
succeed in stopping terrorism at the
mines work will be resumed in full. Al
ready. despite murders, intimidation
and interference. over 100000 tons of
coal have been gotten out since the
strike commenced.

vlsCl0Us INTENTIONS.

1nOSe VINO reaG the speech Oh 4SaoS-
ernor Cummlns delivered before the
Marquette Club in Chicago will find llt-
Senator Allison delivered at Mason
City on the same evening. Upon the
tariff and the Iowa idea Allison said:
With these experiences TO guide US,
it seems to HE not wise now to enter
upon general revision of the tariff,
and thereby. pending such revision, to
hazard the disruption of business con-
6itioRs, now so satisfactory. So rap
idly do conditions change as respects
the markets and production. not only
in our country, but turnout the civilized
world, that it may be wise to enter up
on such project after 1904, when the
two policies controlling the two great
parties shall again be submitted to the
American people.
This does not imply that changes
should not be made in the meantime
and in the near future to correct in
equaiities where they now exist because
of the changed conditions of produc-
ton, or because Of domestic monopo-
lies that appear to be perverting the
benevolent purposes Of the tariff from
healthy domestic competition to selfish
greed by controlling prices and limiting
production for that purpose. These
changes should be made as far us praC-
ticable thru reciprocal treaties sug-
gested in the law of 1897, thereby en-
larging our markets. President Mckin-
ley expressed this view happily in his
last speech at Buffalo, saying that
where duty was no longer needed for
revenue or protection it might be USED
to enlarge our markets abroad ana
thereby furnish additional employment
for our laborers at home.

THE GRAND ARMY MEETING.

| One of the successful events of the
week was the reunion of the veterans
of the Grand Army at Washington. The
attendance was surprisingly large
| When the national encampment assem-
bled on Thursday the attendance COM
prised about one thousand delegates
making it one of the largest conventions
ever held by the association. Despite
this, the number of G. A. r. veterans is
greatly depleted. According to the re-
port of Adjutant General S. II. fowler
on June 80 last the muster roll of the
Grand Army contained 265,745 names OF
members in good standing and there
membership show net loss since the
preceding year of 5,S0i. The adjutant
general says that the high-water mark
of membership was attained in 1890,
when it numbered 409,4S9. and that
there has been gradual decline since
that date. The death loss for the year
as shown by the report is 1929.
There We're many things to interest
the veterans in the Washington gather
ing and to cheer their declining years,
but no greater gem was proffered them
to place beside the little button than
eral Torrance, the retiring commander:
"The patriotic impulse that
moved us to lay all on the altar of
our country had no fellowship with
a mercenary motive. We did not
be]ittle the grandeur of the cause
in which we engaged BY calculating
on personal gain. The inadequacy
of our pay but added to the dignity
of the penalties we suffered. Under
the pitiIess skies thousands of our
comrades suffered as prisoners of
war, but no complaint escaped their
lips. Release terms OF renuncia
ton of their fealty to the flag were
rejected with their expiring breath.
On the field of battle fruitless as
saults were often made in the face
of certain death, but no one faltered
in response to the unwise command.
Those We're days of unquestioned
heroism. supreme devotion and un-
paralleied sacrifice: and in these
latter days the rear guard of that
immortal army should exhibit a
spirit no less heroic than that man
ifested by those who fell in the
foreground of the conflict SO many
years ago
Those who lived in that exciting and
patriotic period know how truthful is
the statement thus presented. 1t con-
stitutes the feature that has enabled
these veterans for forty years to main-
tain the grand organization they repre-
sent.

THE BIBLE AND THE SCHOOLS.

The supreme court of Nebraska ha.
just decided against the reading of tn,
Bible and the singing of religion:
hymns in the public schools, as being
contrary to the state constitution, ant
an intrusion upon religious liberty. Thl:
will neither detract from the Bible MOI
the standing Of the schools among lib.
eral-minded people, tho some will con.
slider the lines drawn too narrowly, ane
that as the sacred contains some of the
best literature it's reading might be
permitted, if desired.
In Iowa there is little more latitude
allowed by the constitution and the
statutes. While the constitution de-
clares that 1.-THE general assembly shall
make no law respecting an establish
ment of religion 1t also says ''or pro-
hibiting the free exercise thereof" The
statute framed under 1t says "the
Bible shall not be excluded from any
public school or institution of the state
nor shall any child be required to read
it contrary to the wishes of his parent
or guardian" In a decision on this
question the supreme court held that II
is optional with the teachers as 10
whether they will read the Bible or
not, tho they must observe the above
statutory restriction in regard to chill,
dren whose parents object to their tax.
ing part in such exercises. 1t is be-
lieved to be the general rule not to
read 1t.
While 1t is the spirit Of our national
constitution that there shall be the ut
most freedom in religious matters. and
therefore immunity from its influence IL
desired, the precepts of the Bible have
a nolding influence upon the schools as
a result Of the wide extension of Chris
tan civilization. These public schools
have attained high standing and the
people fully appreciate their worth. In
England, where a strong effort is now
being made for a wider extension of the
schools that are free from the control
of the church, the greatest admiration
is expressed for the schools in the
United States. They are now the sub
ject of glowing tributes, principally as
the results of investigations conducted
in behalf of the board of educa-
ton of London. The moral and educa-
tional value of American public schools
is pronounced incalculabe. One Of
these investigators, Sir Joshua Fitch,
expresses the belief that 1.-The exclusion
of sectaran and clerical influence from
the common school appears in many
places to have had the incidental effect
of quickening the zeal of the churches
making them more sensible of their re-
sponsibility."
Both the schools and the church have
their peculiar sphere Of action, and
each exercises a wholesome influence
upon the other, even tho they be sep
arated in localities by constitutional
restrictions and decisions.

PARSONS COLLEGE PLANS.
TFairf1eld Ledger

The destruction of Ankeney hall by
fire seemed little short of a calamity to
friends of Parsons College and citizens
of Fairfield generally, but the indica-
tons now are that 1t has given impetus
to a movement which will make the
institution greater and more valuable
than 1t has ever been. College author
tiles have plan for the enlargement
and better equipment of the school
which contemplates the expenditure of
$125,000 in seven new buildings on the
present campus. They have asked
Fairfield and Jefferson county to con-
tribute $4,000 of this amount, and will
raise the remainder themselves. This
amount seems considerable one, but
when it Is considered that 1t means the
location for all time of the college, with
present buildings and endowment of
s165,O00, as Well as the immediate ex-
penditure of $4,000 for new buildings
and $4,000 for equimpent, it is we'll
worth striving for. 1t will doubtless
require the united effort of all our peo-
pie to accomplish this work. but when
we consider the amounts of money the
community has already given to pub
lie purposes, and that 1t has never
failed in any movement of this kind,
the Ledger feels satisfied that 1t will
be done.
To secure this fund OF $4,000 the
committee to which the work was given
has formulated plan which. If sue
cessfully carried out, will not only Sc
cure the money necessary, but will also
permanently benefit the community in
another direction. 1t has secured an
option on a tract of forty four acres of
land, Immediately west of the city, on
the Ottumwa road, an extension of
West Burlington street. and proposes
to divide it into lots and offer it for
sale. These lots will be sold at $3.50
each, and the net proceeds will be given
to the college fund.

THE oNERoUs STAMP TAX"

49,.
The merchants of Oelwein, Iowa,
have gathered together and unani-
mously resolved 30 give up the trad
ing stamp habit. One merchant said
that he paid the stamp company on an
average of $35 per month, and another
said he paid the company over $65 per
month, and that he was tired of giving
away profits in that manner. It is
estimated that $500 per month has been
paid out to stamp companies by Oel-
vein merchants. The Bee has no quar-
rel with the trading stamp company,
but 1t is our opinion that the merchants
everywhere could spend less money to
