The Choral Union.

We fear many do not apprl ciate
the opportunities afforded by our
Choral Union. While music is one of
the fine arts, it is one that may be
cultivated by individuals of ordinary
abilities. There was a most encour-
aging attendance at the first meet
ing last Monday evening, to meet
Prof. Evans, but the numbers should
be doubled. Handers Messiah that
is to be given, stands first among ora
torios and to be first here is to be first
everywhere; for the highest type of
music is sacred. Music is 1.-THE only
art of heaven given to earth and the
only art of earth We take to heaven"
Its refining power is unquestioned
and its value to community is im-
measurable. The vicinity. as well
the individual "that mas no music in
its soul or is not moved by the con-
course of sweet sounds is tit for trea-
son, bribery" etc. and ''if it can sing
and won't sing will certainly gravi-
tate to Sing Sing.
Membership is not limited to citi-
zens of Bellefontaine, but may be
secured by all residents of Logan
county. Parents should encourage
their children, and children should
solicit parents to permit them to
join the union. A young man can af-
ford to sell his coat to secure the one
dollar with which to pay his tuition
for the twenty weeks.
The next rehearsal will be held
Monday evening, in Educational
Hall.

ROOSEVELT
Is Snubbed by Southern Congress.
men.

The Presidents reception, Thurs
day evenidg of last week, was boy
cotted by most of the Southern Con-
gressmen, because he refused to ac-
cept Southern ideas of the treat
ment due the colored man from the
National Government.
President Roosevelt has not sought
to promote or appoint men, because
they are colored men, nor has he
been willing so appoint colored men
who are ignorant or unified for po-
sitions. But he has refused to adopt
a rule, that a colored man should not
be appointed, If he we're worthy and
qualified simply because of his color.
He believes that the colored men are
taxpayers, and subject to the laws,
and to military duty, and that they
have rights that should not be ig.
nored.
Moreover, he feels that if there ar,
colored men who are qualified for and
are worthy of Office, it is right to rec
ognize. them, that their race may
have hope, and may have an insplra
\ tion to educate themselves, and liv,
the life of good citizens.
The narrow mindedness begotteI
of slavery that would shut the doc
of hope to the colored man becaus,
of his skin, is unworthy any man VIII
believes in government of the peopl
by the people, and president Roose
velt can afford to let it be insulting
!. as it is foolish.

BIBLE In SCHOOLS LEGAL,
Nebraska Supreme Court Decides
That Boards of Education May
Permit 1t Read.

A Lincoln (Neb.) despatch to the
Chicago Tribune, say-:
Reading of the bible in the public
schools of Nebraska is not to be pro-
hibited. This is the eist of an opinion
delivered today by Chief Justice Sui
livan of the Supreme court, in which
he practically reverses the decision
rendered by the same court a few
months ago. The case came up on
an application for rehearing. Chief
Justice Sullivan in effect says the use
of the bible in the schools is not un-
lawful; that the only point where the
courts might rightly interfere is to
prevent the reading of the bible
where its legitimate use has degener.
ated into abuse. Whether it is pru.
dent or polite to have bible reading
is declared a question for school au-
thorities, but whether it has taken
the force of sectarian instruction,is a
question for the courts to determine.

THE legislation the country gets
from Congress, the present term, it
may thank President Roosevelt for.
His determined and persistent efforts
have united and encouraged those
favorable to such measures, and his
determination to secure efficient leg
islation, if he had to call an extra
session of Congress. has made the
lukewarm and offish face the music,
and they dare not oppose the wishes
of the people.

NEW York dispatches state that DIR.
Buckley, one of the ablest men in the
Methodist church, the editor of the
Christian Advocate, said at a minis
ters' meeting, Monday, that ''statis-
tics showed that Methodism is rap
idly declining" This may be true in
the cities in the East, but he does
not give statistics to support his
claim. Methodism is changing in the
character and education of its mem
bership, but not in vital piety, nor in
its principles 1t never did so much
for benevolence and miss ions, and
never was greater power for good.
DIR. Buckley should buckle on his
armor and sail into "The world the
flesh and DEVIL and let the Metho-
dist church alone

GERMANY continues to throw new
obstacles in the "ay of settlement
of the Venezuelan troubles, while
England and Italy are ready to go to
the Hague. Germany is evidently
carrying a chip on her shoulder for
the United States, and if We were
Uncle Sam we would knock it OF, and
her head with it: 1t is beneath a
great nations dignity, to permit it
self to be bullied, and it cannot have
the respect of other nations if it does.

WAVES HER DEMAND.
Germany to Get Her Cash In Fis
Monthly Installments.

monthly
Washington. Feb. 12.-At the urgent
suggestion Of Baron Won Sternberg.
the German government has agreed to
waive its demand for cash payment
OF ss4O. 900. and has accepted the prop
osition of its minister that it receive
this money from Venezuela in five
monthly insillments, the first install
ment to be paid two weeks after the
signing Of the protocol. This fact has
been communicated to Mr.. Bowen. and
the German minister hopes to have
his protocol ready for signature with
in the next "a hours.
Germany's reputation Of Count
Quadts action, who early in the nego-
tiations signed with the other nego-
tiators an agreement to the effect that
| the allies would waive cash payment
provided a sufficient guarantee was
offered by Mr.. Bowen. has stirred NJ
strife between the allies. Although
the London government is not dis
posed to alter its protocol. which al
ready has received Mr.. Bowen's verba
approval. Italy is still ,considerins
whether she will consent to accep
less than her ally.

Hon. t. E. BURTON is spoken of as
a candidate for Mayor of Cleveland.
He is an able and pure man, and the
most popular man in the city. He
could sweep the city, and the Repub-
Tcans are after a man who can do
that. But'Mr. Burton has just been
reelected to Congress, he is very
useful member, and his place would
be hard to fill. If he consents to run
it will show that the Republicans of
Cleveland feel that they have a con-
test ahead of them, that requires
them to put forth their best efforts.

WHY
Your Insurance Costs You so
Much In BellefOntaine.

The total losses of all the fire
insurance companiesin in Ohio the past
year. were -, 325, 705 80. To pay this
they collected of the people in pre-
miums SIC, Ass, ,6sl 81. In other words,
they collect enough of you to pay
all the LOSSES, and charge you a dol
lars, additional, for every dollar of
your money they pay out. Is it any
wonder insurance is high? What a
field there is here for mutual insur-
ance companies to save money for
