- ELIGION and virtue are
~ our highest concerns, but
it doesn't follow that gov
eminent has any warrant to inter-
fere with the Beliefs of individ-
uals. Our educational system
must con6ne itself to imparting
the things we believe in common,
and IT MUST BE LEFT TO
THE PARENTS AND THE
CHURCHES to make Of religion
a vital matter. The state is not
the only educational agency.
In religion some final court of
appeals is necessary, different
creeds having different courts, and
it logically follows that if the
state is to impart religious instruc-
ton it must determine the kind Of
| religion that is to be taught,
which would mean court passing
on the orthodoxy Of public school
instruction. You can't give re-
ligious instruction in the schools
WITHOUT INVADING THE
FIELD WHICH THE MOD
ERN STATE HAS ADAM
DONED.
All the moral virtues are al
ready promoted by the public
schools. I deny that they are
agnostic or anti-Christian. They
are only non-Christian. They ex-
ert an elevating moral influence
WITHOUT ANY .~. TALK
ABOUT TT. If you want the
Catechism taught, in the name of
heaven why don't you teach it to
your children yourself or have
Iyour churches do it? =.
If you don't want to pay taxes
| for: the support of the public
schools, why not object to being
taxed for the: support of. the
courts, which may not be conduct
ed on basis to suit you2: The
state goes ahead in its secular
work, and, if you choose, set up
J your rival institutions, but neither
directly nor indirectly WILL
THE STATE CONTRIBUTE
to their support:

One" evening Catherine II. OF Russia
had dined in one town and was. to re-
turn to her palace In another some
miles distant. These journeys were
made with much: ceremony and mag
ni6cence. The great sleighs were ready
to start for home. Catherine sat alone
in the imperial sleigh. She inquired IL
the drivers and the footmen had had
dinner. Receiving negative reply, she
at once left her sleigh. 'rhey have as
much need Of dinner as we," she said
to her party. And she waited patiently
until the servants had dined.

Not Humility OF Shirt.

A young preacher in an uptown
church was much struck one Sunday
by the seeming effect his sermon was
having upon one Of his congregation, a
shabby genteel man with white hair
who throughout the entire discourse
sat with head bowed in deeply reverent
attitude. After the service the min
lister pushed bis way to the man and
proudly said:
Il am glad to note that my sermon
affected you. Did it make you see the
error Of your ways?'
"Oh, It wasn't that" said the man
sheepishly. You see, my waistcoat is
too short, and. l had to bend over to
hide my .'-Cleveland Leader.

= BY CONGRESSMAN w. BOURkE
COCHRAN :.
4HE germ Of democracy, the
~ form of government which
our system Of education
must preserve, was planted on the
shores Of Galilee when the Say
Jour proclaimed that ALL MEN
ARE EQUAL in the sight Of
God. While despotism and au-
tocracy are based on human frail-
ty, the essence Of democracy is be-
lief in human virtue and the ca
pacity Of man for almost IN
FINITE PERFECTAB1LITY.
Neither despotism nor servitude
could survive among people try
ing to follow the: Christ example,
for justice and equality are the in
evitable fruits Of Christianity. AS
a democracy cannot survive except
these fruits Of Christianity -four
ish, public education MUST
NCULCATE A KNOWL-
EDGE OF THE MORAL law
upon which the government is
founded.
The present system is made
quate to the necessities of the
state. Education Of the intellect
alone is insufficient to cultivate
loyal obedience to the will of the
majority. Moral instruction re.
moves THE DISPOSITION TO
INFRINGE the rights Of others.
I don't want the state to assume
the burdens Of a religious propa.
ganda, because to do so would ne.
cessitate the selection of the best
religion, and those who think as
I do would be the first to- oppose
such a thing. j.. The efficiency: Of
both church and: state is increased
by separation, BIZ but the state h ha:
no right TO PENALIZE NOR
|AL INSTRUCTION or or to, de
vote the taxes of those who be
ieve in moral instruction to thu

augurated campaign to make their
influence felt against the licensing of
saloons at the village. At . mass
meeting held Saturday evening reso-
lutions were adopted which leave no

corporated villages who resent very
strongly any attempts OF country peo-
pie to make their influence felt when
questions OF this kind are up for
settlements, but few minutes calm re-
aeotion will convince any fair minded
person that the interests OF the coun-
try people are very much 1t stake and
therefore according, to true American
ideals they should have . voice In the
