NO THEOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS.
Significance OF the Decision of the
Nebraska supreme Court.

Kansas City Star.
The decree Of the supreme court Of Ne
braska forbidding the recitation OF the
Lords Prayer and the singing Of Moody
and Sankey hymns in the public schools
does not interfere in the slightest degree
with the pursuit Of these exercises In the
Sunday schools, nor around the family
hearthstone, though 1t is feared that the
church people will hardly be able to lay
hold on this source Of consolation. Daniel
Freeman, who carried the matter to the
courts, advanced the plea that he does not
believe in the bible nor in the singing Of
spiritual hymns. and that It is the province
Of the public schools which he as a taxpayer
helps to support, to give the children who
attend them instructions In the text books
provided for advancing the cause OF popular
education.
The supreme court OF Nebraska holds that
this contention is Just and has proceeded
to restrain religious exercises in the secular
schools. This view Of the matter seems TO
be pretty generally accepted now in all the
states and 1t is no longer regarded by lib
eral minded people as a blow at Christian
ity. There are certain conscientious and
righteous persons, though, who will protest
strenuously against this decree. though they
would certainly object TO the teachings OF
any tenets other than their " In the
Sunday schools which they help to keep up.

MODERN KNIGHTS OF THE ROADS.

Washington Post: Those Lincoln express
robbers appear to have worked the com
munity of interests" theory for all it Is
worth.
Chicago Chronicles: For the first time
within the memory Of man the Nebraska
express robbers got money instead OF a
few empty potato sacks and similar booty
which they invariably obtained heretofore
If we are to credit the express company
officials.
Philadelphia Record: Modern knights
Of the road" still find business good in the
far west, Notwithstanding stringent federal
and state laws designed TO curb and check
their activities. Extension of methods of
travel and expansion Of population have
not eliminated train robbery, but have
operated rather to afford reader means OF
escape to the marauders.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Perhaps some
day he railroad companies will anticipate
these hold up knights by preparing a well
come for them. 1t might take the form of
a steel plated car, or q steel-jacketed mes
senger; or there might be a fearless sharp
shooter aboard with a reputation for aim
ing to kill. other means of making the
train robbers occupation an arduous one
could be devised. And very likely 1t
wouldn't take more than one lively en-
counter TO knock all the romance out Of
the business, and incidentally save the ex-
press companies a lot Of good money.

FOR ORGANIZED LABOR.

Secretary Moody, in his speech in
Omaha, declared in favor of organized
labor. He said it is too late to question
the right of workmen in this country to
organize, that they have the same right
to organize as the capitalists have, and
that all that is asked Of either is that
they work in obedience to the provisions
of the laws and constitution of this gov
eminent. In his speech at Kansas City
Wednesday evening the secretary of the
navy said that organized labor like or
ganized capital is here to stay and the
administration Of President Roosevelt
stands for organized labor" He de-
clared that the voices Of both ~organiza-
lions must be listened to, both must
work for public welfare and they must
yield obedience TO the laws of the land.
1t has just been most co~nclusively dem
onstrated that the national administra-
ton is favorable to organized labor. In
the negotiations for the settlement of the
anthracite coal strike Mr.. Roosevelt has
not failed to give full recognition to or
ganized labor and 1t has a representative
on the commission of arbitration, very
likely at the suggestion OF President
Mitchell of the organization Of mine
workers.
No rational man can doubt hat or
gained labor is here to stay and that it
Is bound to obtain recognition. AS was
recently said by a distinguished citizen,
formerly prominent in public life, in
these days Of combination by capital on
a scale and to an extent unprecedented,
labor cannot be denied an equivalent
right Of combination. This is required
by the sense OF fairness and justice
which animates the American people.
The proposition that both organizations
Of capital and organizations OF labor
shall yield obedience to the laws Of the
land will not be questioned and It is a
fact that organizations Of labor have
generally shown a disposition to do this,
Corporations that antagonize labor
unions are blind TO the salient facts OF
the era they are living In Organized

Those who have imagined Theodore
Roosevelt to be impulsive in temper or
rash in action have only to consider his
conduct during the last few weeks to be
convinced Of their error.
BY his Intervention in the coal strike
the president was doing his duty-not a
duty e~njoined upon him by the letter OF
the law, but inherent in his ofice-the
duty OF every chosen magistrate Of the
people to take heed Of the peoples well
are-the duty of a chosen leader to lead.
In the discharge OF this plain duty
Theodore Roosevelt found his motives
maligned, his mandate from the people
denied, his good Intentions secuted. his
benevolence houted, his guests insulted
in his presence. his appeals wantonly
disregarded. the dignity of his office
trampled upon and his purposes insolently
dehed.
II Theodore Roosevelt had been really
impulsive, rash, hasty or headstrong here
was a situation in which those qualities
would have appeared. No impulsive man,
no man without the fullest control over
himself, would have endured these affronts
to himself apd to the dignity Of his great
once.
II Theodore Roosevelt had for one in
slant forgotten that he was president OF
the United States and as such must be
ever ready to sink every personal con-
sideration and to make any individual
sacrifice for the public good. he would
have resented these a~ffronts with every
one Of the vast and multiplied powers

FLESH OF oNE--FISH OF ANOTHER

FLESH OF ONE-FISH OF ANOTHER.
The Omaha Real Estate exchange Is
about to organize another campaign to
compel the assessment of the property of
the franchised corporations, namely, the
street railway company, water works
company, gas company, electric lighting
company and telephone company, on the
basis of the market value of their stocks
and bonds. This is all right, but why
should the franchised corporations Of
nation in favor Of the franchised cor
porations of Nebraska, the railroads,
which own more property in Omaha than
the street railway, gas, water and other
corporations, is ignored by the Real Es-
tate exchange?
Are the railroad corporations too sa-
cred to be touched, or too powerful to be
handled by the officers of the law? Are
not the members of the Real Estate ex-
change aware of the fact that the tax
able railroad property in Omaha is worth
more than $15, 600, 900, or at least one
seventh of the aggregate value Of all
property, while they are paying one
fortieth part of the taxes? In other
words, why should corporations that
W more than IA per cent of all the
property in the city pay taxes on only
"a per cent?
Why make flesh Of one and fish Of an
other? Why not insist that the tax COM
missioner shall assess the property Of
the railroads at their fair, true value, the
same as all other classes of property?
To raise the property valuations of the
corporations that supply water, gas,
light and street railway service in
Omaha to full value aud to raise the
property of all other classes of taxpayers
TO full market value while the railroads
are to be returned at the mileage rate
fixed by the State Board of Equalization
would only work greater injustice next
year on the taxpayers Of Omaha than
has been perpetrated upon them in the
last three years, when all classes of in
dividual property was assessed at 40
per cent and the railroads property at
~ per cent.
If the city assessment goes up from 40
per cent to 100 per cent on all property
except railroads and the levy goes down
In proportion, the railroads which paid
a fraction over $4,000 into the treasury
Of the city for 1902, would have to pay
several thousand dollars less in taxes in
1903 on the same valuation unless the
state board sees tit to raise the state
assessment.

The Outlawed Mirrors.

The principal Of the Omaha High school,
who has forbidden the use of mirrors in
school hours, is bound to see trouble. He
Jared tolerably we'll last year when he made
the boys put away their sweaters and re-
CURED the girls to wear long sleeves, but
that was a very different matter. A mirror
is as essential to a girl, even a homely girl,
as pockets are to boys, and the short sighted
principal is likely to find a hurtful change
in the temper Of his pupils as a result OF his
ccnhscation of looking glasses. No girl can
concentrate her mind on her studies in a
public school room unless she knows from
inspection that her hair looks we'll. that her
face is clean, that her neckwear is properly
adjusted and that her nose isn't shiny.
Two to one the mirrors will be restored to
the Omaha girls within a fortnight.

chicago Inter Ocean.

which the people have placed In his hands.
But the president saw that here the vital
interests OF the American people could not
be served by a San Juan charge-that the
solution Of this problem demanded not only
courage and resolution. but also tact and
infinite patience.
And Theodore Roosevelt, while abating no
jot Of resolution, was patient and long-suf-
fering He demesned himself as became
the chief magistrate Of the prudent, patient
and lsw-abiding American people. Having
defined the issue unmistakably-having
shown the people the cause OF their suffer-
ing-he waited. He could afford to wait,
and he knew how to wait.
And he won. He won for himself and for
all the people. He won absolutely, com
pletely and without conditions. He won not
by using the vast powers OF his great ONCE.
He won by directing straight at the point
Of resistance and by maintaining upon that
point the unceasing and unrelenting pres
sure Of public opinion.
No rash, hasty or impulsive man could
have won such a victory by such means.
Only a cautious, patient, conservative,
steadfast mana man great enough to ig-
more every provocation-a man strong
could have won such a victory.
And by that victory Theodore Roosevelt
has proved himself not only courageous
but cautious, not only resolute but patient,
not only fearless but devoted to his peoples
veal, as strong In endurance as in action

Boiling Down Pub. Does.

new YORK tribune.
The tendency on the part Of heads OF
departments at Washington to increase
the size OF reports has long been notice
able and President Rooseyelts request for
shorter reports will meet the hearty sp-
prevail Of the comparatively small number
of people who are interested In and read
these documents. Some OF the reports OF
recent date, especially from the War de-
partment. contained many interesting and
well executed illustrations, but in this, as
we'll as in other departments "unneces-
sary and expensive illustrations" made the
reports additionally bulky. 1t is to be
hoped that II the effort to bring the re-
ports to q proper size the unnecessary
Illustrations will be eliminated, but that
