estimates that the larger members of
the group dive fully thousand yards.
In a memoir published in Belgium DIR.
Racoyitza challenges this belief and
states that in his opinion 100 yards is
the maximum depth to which any
whale can dive and that many species
cannot reach anything like that limit
Says the writer:
Why should whales want to go to
such depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food and in the
profound darkness of 1000 yards what
food could they get? Those species
which feed on anmalcucs might, per.
haps. obtain what they want But how
about the species which feed on fishes
and cuttlcsr At n depth of 1000 yards
they certainly could not use their eyes
TO detect nonluminouS species. and we
have no evidence whatever that they
feed on the self luminous deep sea fish
and cuttles, If. indeed. there be any of
the latter. On the contrary. the available
evidence indicates that they feed on
ordinary light dwelling fishes and cut.

CHIEF JUSTICE SULLIVAN

Judge Sullivan dissented from the
judgment of the court. He said
Il think, however, the contract
which is based on the action con-
travenes public policy and that the
position will prove to be mischiey-
-~ous precedent"
In Nebraska Telephone Company VS..
Cornell, SO Neb. 733, the contention OF
the telephone company was that the
state did not have any right to pre-
scribe the rates which it should charge
and regulate it's business in other par
ticulars. This contention was met by
Judge Sullivan in the very forceful
opinion in which he pointed out very
clearly the principles which gave the
state the right to regulate the great
monopoly.
The case Of the State VS. Omaha Ma
tional Bank Will be remembered as one
The independent., 1903-10-15

of the cases which arose out of the
Eartley embezzlement. The state sued
the Omaha National bank for 5000, 900.
Judge Baker tried the case in Douglas
county and brushed aside all former
decisions of the supreme court bear
ing upon the question: and decided that
neither the bank nor Millard was liza
BILE. His services in that regard were
subsequently rewarded by an appoint
ment to the supreme bench of New
Mexico through the influence of Sen
ator Millard. 1t was, in fact, Senator
Millard's first important official act.
When the case came before the SUI
preme court Judge Sullivan wrote the
opinion in which was stated with re-
markable clearness the reasons why
Judge Baker was wrong and why the
bank should be held. Judge Noryal
for some reason took no part while

upon the constitutional convention of
1875, and not upon the court.
But in refusing to grant rehearing,
Judge Sullivan said:
'The decision doe not, however, go
to the extent of entirely excluding the
Bible from the public schools. 1t goes
only to the extent of denying the
right to use it for the purpose of i'm
parting sectarian instruction. The
pith of the opinion is in the syllabus,
which declares that exercises by a
teacher in public school in a school
building, in school hours, and in the
presence of the pupils, consisting of
the reading of passages from the BIZ
I~ble and in the singing of songs and
hymns and offering prayer to the
Deity, in accordance with the doc
trines, beliefs, customs or usages of
sectarian churches or religious organ
izations, are forbidden by the cOnsti-
tuition Of this state Certainly the
Had may be read in the schools
without inculcatlng belief in the
Olympic diyinities, and the Koran
may be read without teaching the
Moslem faith. Why may not the BIZ
bic be also read without indoctrining
children in the creed or dogma of any
sect? Its contents are largely histcri-
cal and moral. It's language is un-
equaled in purity and elegance. Its
style has never been surpassed.
Among the classics of our literature it
stands pre-eminent."
Catholics urge, however that the
King James version is "sectarian
book" and that, therefore, the mere
reading of it constitutes 'sectarian in
structiono within the meaning of the
quoted constitutional provision. This
was not the vital point at issue in the
case at bar, but Judge Sullivan said by
way of dictum:
"The law does not forbid the use of
the Bible in either version in the
public schools. It Is not prescribed
either by the constitution or the stat
utes. and the courts have no right to
| declare it's use to be unlawful because
it is possible Or probable that those
who are privileged to use it will mis-
use the privilege by attempting to
| propagate their own peculiar theol-
ogical or ecclesiastical views and opin-
iors. The point where the courts may
rightfully intervene, and where they
should intervene without hesitation,
is where legitimate use has degen-
Grated into abuse-where a teacher
employed to give secular instruction
has violated the constitution by be-
coming sectarian propagandist.
In short, as The Independent has
always held. to forbid the mere read
ing of the Bible in the public schools,
is to tacitly admit that it is an in
spired book and, therefore to break
down the contention of atheists who
would debar 1t. If it is not the Word
OF God, then there can be no more
constitutional reason for debarring it
than for excluding Webster's diction-
ary, because some patron of the school
prefers Worster's or the Standard or
Century. And here Judge Sullivan
says:
THE question whether it's legitimate
use shall be continued or discontinued
is an administrative, and not a Judi
cial question. 1t belongs to the school
authorities, not to the courts"
The independent., 1903-10-15
THE BIBLE CASE

The Independent has many times
called attention to the fact that the
real issue in this campaign after all
immaterial and ide issues are brushed
aside, is this: The People against
the Railroads. But astute railroad
railroad managers early in the cam
Eaign saw that it would not do to al
low the real issue to be met squarely
because there are 55 farmers to ev-
cry Is or Is railroad men, including
those who are classed as 'in trade. !"
So about a month ago one John
Rush rushed into print in the Omaha
Bee with column letter of criticism
and danunciation of Judge Sullivan,
because the farter had written an Upin-
ion Id the Freeman Bible-reading case,
overruling the motion for a new trial
and adhering to the former judgment.
To this Hon. I. j. MahOney made an
swer through the columns of the
World Herald, and an anonymous
writer, Alpha" replied to Mahoney
through the Bee; and to this Ma
honey rejoined in another World-Her-
aid article. Not only are these letters
much too long for reproduction in The
Independent, but also it seems clear
that, under the circumstances, there
is no need for publishing Judge Sui
liyan's opinion in full The issue in
this campaign is not the question Of
reading the Bible in the public schools
but whether the railroad corpora
tions now owning the republican lead
ers body and soul shall be permitted
to continue their double game of
fleeing. the farmers, through exorbit-
ant freight rates on the one hand and
through expert tax-shirking on the
other.
But there is some reason for calling
attention to this Bible case, because,
after the four letters mentioned were
published, the republican managers
| suddenly changed their tactics and be-
gan a systematic still hunt" among
the Catholic voters, with the view of
! prejudicing them against Judge Sui
| liyan. yet keeping the matter very
| quiet because they were afraid an
| open discussion Of the question might
align some republican Protestants on
Judge Sullivan's side In this. the re-
| publican managers have shown the
same skill as they did last fall when
| they united the brewers and anti
saloon league in the effort to elect
Mickey.
Section II, article S, of the constitu-
ton of Nebraska, provides that
No sectarian instruction shall be
| allowed in any school or institution
| supported in whole or in part by the
public funds set apart for educational
! PURPOSES
| Hence, the question of whether a
| given act constitutes "sectarian in
| struction." is the one to be deter
mined in the light of surrounding cir
| cumstances. In the case decided the
teacher had opened school with pray
Ell, reading the Bible, and singing of
hymns In the light of her own testi-
mony, her acts constituted "sectarian
instruction" and the court could do
nothing less than grant the writ
prayed for. Chief Justice Sullivan,
and Judges Holcomb and Sedgwick.

SUGGESTS AMENDMENT.
Paragraph in Manual Regarding Loss
Of Time by Police.

Major Richard Sylvester, superintendent
OF police. after consulting with the several
ieutenants Of the department and a mem
Der Of the board &C police and fire surgeons
on the question of loss Of time by the mem
bers OF the police force, has written to the
District Commissioners, stating that 1t is
deemed to be to the best interests Of the
department that paragraph 200 of the man
nal be amended so as to read:
The surgeons on the last day Of each
month shall report to the major and super
intendent Of police each case attended by
them, giving the cause Of disability and the
number of days the officer was unable to
perform duty. In no case will sick time be
allowed in excess Of thirty days in any one
calendar year, except when the same Is in
consequence Of injury received or conta-
gious or malignant disease contracted in
the line of duty, and then not until the
board Of police and fire surgeons shall rec
ommend that such excess Of thirty days be
allowed and the same shall have been ap-
proved by the Commissioners"
Commissioner West, who has charge of
the police department, has approved the
amendment and forwarded the papers to his
associates.
