HonoRs IN THE CHURCH.

The Rev. James R, Day has contrib
uted striking testimonial in support
of the optimistic contention that men
are still capable of great sacrifices for
conscience.s sake. He was the other
day elected a bishop in the Methodist
church. DR.. Day is chancellor of SYRIA
cnse university and a man Of distin-
guisfed attachments. He was selected
as one of the new bishops without any
effort on his own part. AS soon as
his election was announced by the
conference he retired from that body
and was not seen for two days. Yes
terday he announced that he had given
pTayerful consideration to the question
of whether, he should accept the bish-
opric or not and had been led to the
conclusion that he could do better work
for humanity and his church in his
present line of effort. He resigned his
bishopric before he had been formally
installed in his new honors.
1t does not often occur, even among
churchmen, that honors of this char
acter are put aside The most humble
and Christian of ministers might well
find it possible TO accept with a clear
conscience an honor that would give
a larger scope to his work within the
church. 1t has been shown that some

this sort of nreferment-and they have
not been the worse thought of for it.
1t is a high and worthy ambition for
man to So conduct himself as to win
from the Fellows of his church such
substantial acknowledgment of their
appreciation And it might be regarded
as a great distinction by any man to
be chosen bishop in such an institution
as the Methodist church.
Yet here comes tits man from New
York, -oeenpying humble station, bat
one. in which he has found his voca-
tions declining an honorable and lu-
crative Office in order that he might go
on with the work he has cut out for
himself The instance is by no means
unique. but it occurs SO infrequently
that men decline we'll learned and I'M
sought honors in the line of their pro-
fession and duty that DR.. Day has at
tached much attention to himself And
it is no discredit to. his church to say
that there are few men within its linz
its who would have found the strength
to do what Or. Day has done for con-
sciences sake.
An instance of this sort takes place
often enough to maintain public
confidence in human nature and to

What the Editors Say

What puppets men are to allow par
tisan politics to sow dissension be-
tween friend and friend. There are
causes greater than friendship, but
friendship need not be sacrificed to
them. The bigot or fanatic is far from
being imbued with the spirit of true
religion. So it is that the partisan
has a narrow and totally wrong view
of politics.-InternatiD Falls Echo.
Perhaps the good people of Mime
sofa might now be induced to elect Il
Democratic governor, John A. John
son, of st. Peter, for instance. He is
good, clean politician, pretty much
of a statesman, and as a speaker, after
dinner at any other time, he would
be credit to the chair. No mud about
him, gentlemen.-Jordan Independent.
Three newspaper men are eligible
for the Democratic nomination for
governor: C. F. Macdonald, of the st.
Cloud Times, John A. Johnson, of the
st. Peter Herald, and Frank A. Day, of
the Fairmont News. And any one of
the trio would make as good a gov
ernor as Minnesota ever had.-Winona

We wonder if Sam johnson has
made any sort of a report in regard

cHuRo4 AWE sTATE an FRANcE


The.-rnpture between the French
government and the vatican viii be
variously regarded, according as one
looks at recent events in France
as they bear upon the. relation Of
church and state. We. of this country
are irrevocabIy convinced of the wis
dom and final necessity of complete
separation. Decreed as it is by cur
constitution and vindicated by our
practice, we cannot conceive of any
thing more injurious to the state thai
legal connection with some particular
form of religious faith and govern
ment; or anything more inimica1 to the
true life of the church than depend
ence upon the political power. What
ever, therefore, works in our direction
in other countries and under other
systems We naturally believe to be in
the line of liberal progress.
One has to turn some back pa es
Of history however, in estimating the
value and the meaning of events in
( France. Recent happenings there
have partaken more largely of the
! character of absolute hatred of all re-
Ifgious belief than of. the desire to eff
feet upon mere logical grounds sep
aration between the state and the
| church. We have to remember that
France has alternated from age to age
between an outright subsection to cler-
zeal rule and an indecent defiance of
I all religious belief France knows the
atheist and she knows the devotee.
Whether there is any considerable
| number of people in France capable Of
holding steady middle course be-
tween these two-loving and respect
ing the church, but believing for its
sake, as well as for the state, that an
impossible barrier should be built up
between thenMmay7 be more open to
doubt y,u..osr<t .ss4
The attitude of the French govern
ment towards the schools of France
under church direction has savored
largely Of persecution. The policy of
| the government has been enforced in
ways that seemed to ignore all equities
in the case. 1t has looked more like
some excesses of the old revolutionary
fury against religion as religion than
like a reasonable assertion of political
power over religious encroachment
Knowing as We do the tendencies Of
| French temperament familiar as we
are with its eccentrieities in these par
| tieulars in the past, we shall be very
| slow to judge of the merits of the ex-
listing controversy between Paris and
| Rome until the underlying motives
have become more fully and infinitely
/ developed.

INQUIRIES AS TO
MERCHANT MARINE
The Congressional Committee
Hears Experts Regarding
Cause OF Trouble e.


NEW YORK. May 2s.@The mer-
chant marine commission, authorized
to consider and recommend legislation
for the development of the American
merchant marine, began it's first SEES
sion here today. Senator Jacob III.
Gallinger, of New Hampshire. is chair
man of the commission. which is COM
posed Of members of both branches of
congress. Invitations had been sent
TO the chief ship owners and builders
OF this port, to marine engineers and
even to sailors before the mast to APP
pear before the commission.
C. e. circuit, president of the New
port News Shipbuildfng company, told
the commission that ships can be built
IN England for 70 per cent less than
they can be built here. The cause of
this difference, he asserted, was that
20 per cent more is paid for labor in
the yards of this ~ountry than in Great
Britaln and at the same time there is
oo per cent in. the cost of material in
favor of the English builders. He said
Tue protective tariff was responsible
LOT the dl1ference in cost of material.
Lewis Nixon said builders in this
country had been constructing too
GOOD ships for American use. There is
no demand for the English tramp type
OF vessel In this country He said the
cost of the building here was greater
than in England.
suppose you should take the duty
OH all shipbuilding materials, do YOU
tnlnk that would be of benefit ?" asked
Senator Lodge.
You would have to take the tariff
OFF everything because everything goes
into a ship. If We had free material
ana free ships, we should have to have
Tree labor, too, because You recognize
that labor is protected as we'll"
FaVors DifferentiaI Duties.
He said that foreign countries pay
$26'OO0,000 in bounties. Mr.. Nixon
was in favor of differential duties.
rms, to his mind, would make a de-
mand for American ships, because
through diHerentials, foreigners as well
as ourselves would be induced to ship
In American bottoms.
Rear Admiral Bowles, president of
the Fore River Shfpbuilding, of Quincy
Mass, said that there are several WAYS
TO get a merchant marine, and sug-
gested absolute free trade as one of
them.
How about the cost of labor?" ask
ed Senator GaIlinger.
Labor rejoined Admiral BowIes:
its a horrid thought"
American labor would have to come
down. Senator Lodge answered for
Admiral BoWles.
Representative McDermott asked If
1t Is not fact that the price of steel
rails is absolutely maintained by the
steel pool and the admiral replied: 81
believe it is So
Admiral Bowles continued:
believe that 1t is worth while to have
merchant marine and the cheapest and
most direct way to get it would be for
the government to step in and eoI1aIizp
the cost of building ships; and then il
should pay bounty to the ship owner for
the additional cost Of running the ships
under American laws. This should operate
for fixed period so that capital might
be invited In s-u-

LOCK HORNS IN OHIO
Hearst Men Less Aggressive on
Eve of Convention.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23.-Leaders
| are in conference here preparatory to
| the Democratic state convention of the
next two days. The Hearst men have
for weeks been contending in Ohio for
district delegates to the national con-
vention at St. Louis and for county
delegates to the state convention here
this week, but they have failed to get
majority of either, so that there will
be no such scenes of contest as were
expected here during the week.
The Hearst men are no longer ag-
| greSsive. They are now in favor of no
| Endorsement for any one for president.
1t is probable that the contest between
the friends Of Col. James KfIbourne, of
Columbus, and of Judge Judson Har-
mon, of Cincinnati, may prevent any
Endorsement for president
1t is certain that there will be no in
structions for either Hearst or Parker.
If there is no Endorsement of either
Kilbourne or Harmon and no unit rule
the Hearst men will consider it a par
tial victory, as they would then be
able to get the votes of such districts
as they have carried. The Hearst men
tonight claim a majority in the state
central committee tomorrow when con-
tests will be determined from seven
counties with 200 delegates
The Bryan Hearst men call them
selves the regulars and the others
'the reorganizers.' Their opponents
call themselves the conservatives and
the others the radicals.
The Bryan Hearst men poll Of the
723 delegates is: Regulars, 351; re-
organizers, 172; doubtful, 200, the last
named including the contested seats.
The conservatives say the contests will
be decided in their favor by the COM
mittee on credentials, no matter what
the state committee does, that their
poll shows 232 conservatives and 200
radicals, without the 200 contested
seats, and that when the convention is
permanently organized a ballot will
show 523 conservatives to 200 radicals.
If the radicals succeed tomorrow their
action will affect not only 200 seats in
the convention, but also nine members
of the new state central committee
and of the regular committees, incIud-
ing credentials and resolutions w. r..
Finley, the Ohio manager for Hearst,
as chairman of the state central COM
mittee, will call the convention to Or
der Wednesday morning.
Separate conferences We're held to-
night by the opposing members of the
state central committee The radicals
claimed control, but gave no figures
The conservatives claimed eleven of
the tWenty-One. members sure, with
three doubtful, and that they would
control a majority of the districts and
the convention.
The most surprising development
was the announcement that Salen and
Madigan, state committeeman from
the two districts at Cleveland, were
counted with the conservatives, while
Mayor Johnson is credited with CO.
operating with the radicals in organ
izing the convention. Johnson is for
Folk, of Missouri, for president, but as
his old friends are for Hearst he has
co-operated with them in the prelfm-
mary work of the convention

White Man and Black.

Our concern is not for the negro
race, but for the white race. This doc
tfine that one man ought toybe held
down in order that he may be the serv-
ant of another man is dangerous to
Democracy; it is dangerous to Amer
lean liberty; and it is dangerous to the
white man. as it is to the negro. TAX
ing the higher view still, we contend
that the white race cannot be- unjust
and cruel to the. black. race without
harning itself. A wreng is subjective
as well as objective. The man who is
wronged may recover from the evil in
flicted;. the man who does the wrong
receives a permanent injury to himself.

WORK FOR woMEN's CLUBS.

Judge Finehout, of the municipal
dress made on Sunday evening the
great danger and the great response
bility of modern society in reference to
the child. It is a topic upon which
T h e G | 0 b has frequently remarked,
and to which it had referred on Sun
day morning. Judge Finehout is abb
solutely correct in saying that Juvenile
offenders ought not to be lodged in
Jail, both on account of the evil asso-
citation with older and more hardened
criminals, and on account of the en-
during stain that such an experience
leaves upon the character of the young
He was absolutely correct, in our judg-
the employment of children under
fourteen years of age in any factory
or workshop should be enforced.
The arguments advanced on thu
other side are specious and insincere.
1t is generally the alleged dependent
parent who is lugged in here, just as
the innocent purchaser" is brought
to the front whenever some particu-
larly aggravated case of financial fraud
is held up to public scorn. Let us for
get the dependent parent for a while
and consider the case of the dependent
child. All the attention of the state,
as far as preventive and reformatory
measures are concerned, should be d.
.rected at present to the>saving of the
young. The money and the labor now
practically wasted upon the adult
criminal should be devoted to those
still wavering on the brink of crime.
One suggestion of Judge Finehout's
address seems to us to go right to the
heart of the problem. He says that
there is work here for the women's
federation and the, different women's
clubs of the state. God knows there is
work such as women alone can do
1t does not lie, however, in formulate
ing laws that ought to be passed or
getting any bills through the legisla-
ture. Even the modern insane vor-
ship of the power of the state must
admit some limits to it's sphere of ac-
ton. The state cannot, at least bring
children into the world. No more can
it care for them after they have been
born and during the years of child
hood. We can forbid some abuses and
make certain iH-entorced regulations.
but the child, and through him the en-
tire future state. will always be depend
ent upon the parent and the home.
These the. state cannot reach. Neither
can it supplant or supplement them to
any considerable extent. This is the
work of woman chiefly, to be done
by her through precept and through
example.
The Impairment of the home infu-
enee and the decline of parental au-
thority are subjects as immense in
their public relations and as vital in
their scope as any with which organi-
cations of women can ever hope TO
deal They mean more to the future
OF the country and the race than all
the laws ever brought under the con-
sideration of women's clubs and other
associations We could get along ex-
cellently with any system of laws, or
without any laws at all for that mat

fected duty becoming more and more
abandoned every year, is the chief as
