The Bible in the Schools.

The supreme court of Nebraska has de-
cided that the reading Of the Bible and
singing of religious hymns in the public
schools is forbidden by the constitution
of that state. We are not surprised !;
we are not grieved. The decision pleases
us and we believe it to be a good law
and in the interest of both justice and
religion. Our readers know perfectly
well that we hold that in public schools
supported by Christians, Jews and in
fidels, men Of all faiths and no faith,
and attended by their children, it is un-
wise, and unfair to have any sort of
religion selected and inculcated. We
believe that it is the business of the
church and not of the state to teach
religion; and fol the church to confess
its incompetency and to ask the state,

The prosperity Of the farmers is a

party was organized the farmers may
have had reason for joining it, as it pre-
sented allurements in the way Of pros

hold, even though they were highly WIS.,
ionary. The farmers are now enjoy
ing prosperity that has never been
equaled in the history of the state, and
many Of them are candid enough to ad-
NIT that the republicans have had some
thing to do with it, at least they never
enjoyed such returns for their work and
their investment under the administra-
tion of any other party. And the pros
perity that has been felt by them spread
out until it has benefited all people in

classes. 1t is a condition that should

The World. Herald's efforts at adver.

manufactures should certainly result in
an increase of foreign trade. If condi

would pay to buy in foreign countries

transportation charges and them make

A democratic paper says; ANY time
President Roosevelt is for the peoples
interests you will find Congressman
Robinson his able backer." That is q
matter that will take more than an as
sertion of democratic paper to prove.
1t is known that Robinson will oppose
Roosevelt in any way he can because
that is the tactics of his party, and the
people are left to judge whether the
president is ever for the people, with
the confidence that the returns this fall
will maintain that he is for the people
all the time. A very simple person will
understand that the election of re.
publican to congress will be an endorse
ment of republican administration by
the people of the district while an cleo
ton of democrat will be just the con.
trary. The Third district wants a rep
resentative who will be with Roosevelt

The Columbus Telegram and, per.
haps, Platte county, is not for
Mccarthy. He was questioned during
a recent visit to that city and would
not take a stand for or against the
Beers of South Africa. He failed 10
shed great tears of hypocritical sym.
pathy or wiring his hands when the
subject was mentioned, and he failed TO
denounce the Beers as traitors to the
peace and dignity of England, in fact
he apparently refused to consider the
Boer question paramount issue in
American politics, especially since
peace has been declared. Such indiffer.
ence to conditions in Great Britain and
South Africa on the part of a person
aspiring to an official position in the
United States is inexcusable, in Platte
county, the same as it is to be sober and
industrious as is Mickey. In fact any
sort of republicanism, or any of the
characteristics of republican candidates
is little short of crime in the eyes Of
the brutal democratic majority in thai
county. While a question on his stand
regarding the Boxer rebellion in China
might have been considered more per
tinent by some, Mr.. Mccarthy could
not have taken a position on that Il
meet the unqualified approval Of Platt,
democrats.

1t is guess as to what the demo

A fusion exchange says that every
name on the fusion t;cIet is that of a
man who owns and controls himself
while every name on the republican
ticket is Of men who are owned and
controlled by corporations. This
is the same sort of song as that
sung by this same party some
years ago, and heard and believed.
They decided to turn the corpora
tionists out, redeemed the state in other
words, and give tAe whole thing into the
control of those who represented 1.-THE
people" according to fusion argument.
They made the change and enjoyed an
era of fusion pass grabbing aud fusion
corruption that they have not yet rid
their mouths of the taste, and now these
partisans choose to ignore that record
and make the same sort of plea. II the
sentiment of the people can be judged
accurately before election it is that they
will not be again led in the same
direction as they were before and the
votes will be turning down that the
fusionists will not forget for some time
to come.

The Concordia Kansan, one Of the
strongest and most influential populist
papers of that state, in bidding farewell
TO that party and changing to republican,
said editorially: 1--WE are told that the
republican party has become corrupt.
Suppose that be true; is it not better to
make an effort to purify a live party
rather than to waste ones life trying to
inject life and progress into party
that has neither pride of ancestry nor

In few years more there will be no
populist party. Even now there is de-
cided inclination TO speak of all fusion
lists as democrats. The free silver re.
publicans have passed out of existence
and the populists are following as rapidly
as events will allow They have been
warned to break away from fusion be-
fore they lost their identity but the
warning has been unheeded, because it
came largely from republican sources
and they have persisted in considering
that anything from that direction was
inimical TO the party's welfare. They
could, see themselves, how things were
going if the chose to look. In the hey
day of populisim that party was almost
as strong as the republicans, and the
democrats were not much inferior in
strength. Now they have reached the
/ point where the combination is barely
stronger than either of the parties that
entered the combine and it is weakening
each year. The fusion idea has perhaps
served its purpose, however. A few Of
the faithful were given Office for feet
ing period of time and they were salts
fed for the time being, even though
their elevation to position was detri
mental to the rank and file, who
thought they represented principle.

Mccarthy will win. This is our pre-
diction made without hesitancy. There
are ample grounds Of making such as
sertions. In 1896 the district gave
nearly 800 majority for fusion. In 1895
John Robinson defeated Judge Norris
by plurality of 762 In 1900 his major
ity over John r. Hayes was only l75
Last year the vote on regents gave re
publicans almost 300 plurality. Hence
we have a change of practically 1900 il
FIVE years. There is no reason to think
that any opposite change has occurred
since last election. Rather is there
grounds for the opposite view. These
are republican times. The Third is ar
agricultural district. Farmers are ex
ceptionally and unusually prosperous
Farmers are not chumps. They know
from whence came this prosperity
They realize that President Roosevelt
must be supported by congress in order
that the greatest possible good to thu
country shall result. They know tina
J.,J. Mccarthy is in harmony with tn,

A prominent populist of David City

"Our party has accomplished nothing
