Interest in the question whether there
shall be moral teaching in the public
schools of the District on distinctly
religious basis grows daily Few ques-
lions have so held the attention OF the
public in Washington.
For nearly a week it has been the
principal topic Of conversation in the
homes. the clubs, on street corners, and
in the cars.
That the city is widely divided over the
subject has been demonstrated by the
interviews with prominent citizens pub
lished in The Times.
Petition of AdventiSts.
The petition prepared by the Seventh
Day Adventists is being circulated to-
day. Those having the matter in charge
say they will have copies Of it over ell
the city by noon tomorrow. The petit
ton follows:
"A remonstrance against the teach
ing of religion in the Public Schools OF
the District Of Columbia:
'Inasmuch as the recent interdenomi-
national conference has adopted all ac-
ton, by a majority vote, urging that
religious instruction be made a mart OF
the courses of study in the public
schools of the District of Columbia, aIl:1
a petition Is now being circulated &c
make this action effective, we the under
signed, adult residents Of this District
do most respectfully petition the hon
orable Board of Education not to IN
troduce the teaching of religion into
the public schools:
Because 1t is a violation of the Chris
tan principle Of the separation OF church
and state.
Because 1t will necessarily infring'
upon the rights Of certain classes 0
| citizens
Because 1t is a menace to religious
! freedom. and departure from that gen
erous policy which has made this ma
ton great.
Would Be Unjust.
Because the use of money, raises
by compulsory taxation Of all classes
citizens. for the purpose of teaching re
ligion, Is contrary to the just principle
! OF civil government.
Because II will necessarily establis
a state theology, and make a religion
test necessary for the holding or the OF
flee OF public trust as a teacher. Whfc
| is a violation of one of the provision
of the Constitution
! Because religion. or the duty whie
we owe to our Creator and the manne
of discharging it, is a matter OF individ
ual conscience, and can only be directe
by reason and conviction.
Because the teaching of religion doe
not come within the purview of tn
state, but belongs to the home, tn

entirely by private contribution

Thouoht She Couldn't Live.

Moravia, N. Y, June 5.-Mr. Benja.
min Wilson, a highly respected resident
of this place, came very near losing
his wife, and now that she is cured and
restored to good health his gratitude
knows no bounds. He says:
"My wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to $50 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,
is we'll and feeling stronger every
day.
she used to, have rheumatism SO
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body and this is all gone
too.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send
to those who suffer as my wife did.
They are all that saved her. We can't
praise them enough"

GOLD STANDARD FOR MEXICO.

On the first of this month Mexico,
silver producing country, wheeled
into line by adopting the single
standard, and is now on a gold ba-
sis, in common with the other lead
ing nations of the world.
Nine years ago the single or dou-
BILE standard at the ratio of 40 to 1"
was the all absorbing topic of dis
cussion and argument.
A gentleman of this city. who
made the first gold standard address.
in the court house in May, 1896,
made the statement in the course of
his argument that Mexico would her.
self adopt the gold standard within
ten years. Very many disagreed with
him at the time.
Time and the necessities of bust
ness have brought about the change
as the commercial nations have prac-
tically decided That there can be but
one measure of exchange. and that,
for the time being, at least, must
and shall be gold, as the most stable
medium and the least liable to fuc-
tuations in value.

TEACHERS SALARIES.

There Is a general discussion being
carried on by the influential publ

vance in the salaries of school teach

cupation than that of an instructor
of the young. none that comes closer
to the hearts of the American people
and none that they are as liberal to-
wards. 1t may be that some teach
ers are underpaid, but as a rule the
rate of teachers wages will compare
very favorably with those paid for
professional service in any commun-

FEDERAL IRRIGATION OPERA.
TONS.

There seems to be a conflict be-
tween the engineers of the govern
ment reclamation service and the
state over the selection of $1,000
acres of land in the Columbia river
bottom under the Carey act. AS to
the merits of the conflict it is very
difficult for an ordinary layman to
form an opinion. One thing is pat
emit to all acquainted with the facts,
and that is, if the Sunnyside Canal
Company extends its canals on down
to and irrigates this vast body of dry
land with the contiguous railroad sec
lions, there will be no water left in
the Yakima river and its tributaries
for other irrigation projects. Wide
Hollow and the Ahtanum will contin-
tie a desert. The richest of land
close to this city will always remain
uncultivated on account of a lack of
irrigation facilities. and North Yak
ina will have reached the limit of its
possibilities. The people, generally,
prefer less talk over irrigation. and
more action. The last few years it
has been talk, talk, falkland the
community getting worsted every
time. Why do not the engineers of
the reclamation service accomplish
something for the good of the COM
munity instead of this ceaseless
wrangle or talk, or, if powerless, say
so, and then we will try to look out
for ourselves, as we have done in the
past. 1t IL results we require, and
not so much ,alk.

TYPHOID FEVER.

War has its blessings as well as it's
many evils. Typhoid is the great
scourge of civilization; particularly

cording to the May Century. the Jap

problem. Hitherto typhoid has been
foe more deadly to the soldier chan

Spanish war the flower of our aiIiy
was Frustrated in few weeks by the
scourge. In the immense Japanese
army, under a sub-tropical sun, with
all the conditions favorable to the
propagation of the typhoid germ,
there have been only fifty deaths
from typhoid among all those hun
dreds of thousands of men.
We can learn a valuable lesson
from this conquest of disease. In
defeating typhoid, Japan has per-
formed a greater work than all her
victories over Russia. A work it is
that the rest of the world should en-
ulate, and one--our little piece of

THE SUNNYSIDE RAILROAD.
Twenty-eight Contracts for Right of
Way are Filed.

1t begins to look as If the promot-
ers Of the Sunnyside extension of the
Northern Pacific railroad were at last
going to succeed in their efforts to
secure the branch. The committee
who has the work in charge of Sc
curing the right Of way have so far
succeeded that on last Thursday Geo.
P. Eaton came to town, bringing with
him twenty-eight contracts which he
field with the county auditor. The
contracts are with the following:
James E. O'Brien, o. J. Steward, G..
r. Templin, G. A. Mathieson, G. L..

McClain, A. r. Moore. Eliza Dean,
VIM. Rinehold, Nellie E. Nelson.
All of these contracts have been
given with the understanding that
work was to be commenced on the
proposed road within six months
from date. The road is to branch at
1oppenish. The present indications
are that it will not be extended to
Prosser at least till some later date
The people of Prosser will no doubt
make big effort to have the road
continued on to their town, but it
will not be commenced with that Oh
ject in view.
The committee in charge of secur-
ing the right of way are now at work
in an effort to close up the deal as
quickly as possible, so that work may
be commenced Immediately.
