Kansas City Man Conducts Big Sum
day School In Chicago.
George f. Moore,s travelling auditor
Of the Chicago and Alton railroad, ev-
cry Sunday comes all the way from
Kansas City to superintend the Sun
day school of the Washington Park
Congregational church in Chicago. He
arrived in the city at o'clock the 9TH
er morning, tired and grimy after his
4S7 miles journey.
"Just time TO get cleaned up before
Sunday school," he said as he turned
on the water for his bath. He posted
himself on events of the week as he
was experimenting the work of his
81 teachers and 400 scholars. At
D. N. he started on his return trip, a
fifteen hours journey. The next day
he was at his desk in Kansas City,
having travelled 974 miles.
That has been the Sunday programme
Of Mr.. Moore since Jan. 1. It will con-
tinue to be his practice as long as his
headquarters are Ia Kansas City.
81 expect to be in Kansas City or in
st. Louis three-fourths Of the year."
said Mr.. Moore. II shall, however,
continue to act as superintendent of
the Sunday school because I like the
work. Were it not for an efficient
staff of teachers I should not attempt
to direct a school on the long distance
plan. The instructors have ideas Of
their own for keeping up interest. One
charming woman gives her boys car
nations and roses after school, In the
Bible class for boys prizes are offered
for department, punctuality, text work
and collections"
Mr.. Moore has his own ideas on
conducting Sunday school. Here
are some of them:
The first step is to love children and the
work.
Our scholars take home their lessons
and try to follow our hours Sunday school
teaching in their everyday life.
Never chide child. If he does wrong,
talk to him gently and appeal to his sense
OF honor as though he were a grownup.
Commend him for every good action.
Urge punctuality and regular attend
ance. Some Of my teachers give their
scholars vacations In the summer-when
they have earned them.
My best teachers know something of the
world and are not too "goody-goody."
I don't believe In paid teachers any more
than do in paid choirs. Those who don't
love the work should stay out Of 1t.
Ny teachers recruit their scholars from
their respective neighborhoods.
I always have In reserve several substi-
tute teachers.

WHAT purports to be informa-
ton gained from an inside source
is to the effect that the talked Of
removal of the state capitol from
Madison to Milwaukee which was
exploited a few days after the
burning of the Madison building,
has resulted in movement IN
M ilwaukee to actually capture
the state house. It is said that
the Merchants and Manufacture
ers association Of the Cream city
have quietly mapped out cam
paign and will carry it before the
people Of the state this summer,
A suitable site in Milwaukee, &C
cording to the report, has been
selected, Milwaukee will put up
the money needed for the cam
paign and donate the site, and
will ask the people to change the
location of the state house.
Whether this information can be
entirely relied on as credible
The TINES is not in position to
say, bnt it is entirely probable
that the long talked of removal
will be brought to test. Madi-
son is generally regarded as an
ideal city for the state capitol, and
the entire northern part of the
state would likely express itself
in favor of leaving the seat of gov
eminent right where it is. A
constitutionalam amendment for the
removal of the capitol would like
ly never carry in Wisconsin.

A Tax ON Coal Again.

Under the stress of the coal strike
congress repealed the duty ON anthra-
cite coal and refunded the tariff duty
of g. cents a ton ON bituminous coal
for one year. That period having ex-
pired, the duty is again being collected.
To recoup the losses occasioned by the
strike the coal trust and the combines
that control soft coal have advanced
the price of coal considerably beyond
what it was before the strike. If con-
gress takes no action some parts of the
country may again feel the heavy hand
of the monopolists and the price of Goa!
be again advanced. The Republican
leaders have decided that no bill touch

Seldom, if ever, has the president of
this country received more stinging
rebuke than that administered to Pres
ident Roosevelt by a score of the lead
ing professors of Yale, the university
which gave him the degree of Ill. D.
These learned men have sent u peti-
ton to Senator Hoar on the Panama
question requesting that before the
Hay-Varilla treaty is ratified the action
of the administration be subjected to
careful investigation SO that the good
repute of this country throughout the
world for just dealing and respect for
the rights of the weak shall suffer no
loss. In their petition they say:
'That there is recognized body of
laws which ought to govern the con-
duet of nations; that that law is uni
form, not one for the strong and an
other for the weak, but the same for
all: that belief has arisen in the
minds of many in this country and
abroad that in our relations with the
state Of Colombia we have acted with
undue haste: that We have violated
and are about to violate the rules Of
international law, and that we are
adopting a line of conduct toward that
country which we would not take
against a stronger power; that the
fact that Colombia, owing to its COM
parative weakness, is powerless to re-
let, demand Of us the more caution
to avoid the suspicion that we IRE
making an unjust use of our great
power. The mere existence of such a
suspicion is injurious to our honor and
