I notice with some regret that Mr.
Loeb, of the Adas Israel Temple, fears
that grave results will follow should re
ligion be introduced in the schools. He
seems TO think that sectarian influence
will grow to such an extent that II vii
surely swamp the ohild's religion ano
will become such power that the coun-
try win feel its effect IN a material and
possibly. injurious way.
l am inclined to think that the posi-
ton of Mr.. Loeb has taken as repre-
sentative Of the Jews in Washington is
one with which many who have gone
into the question cannot agree. If the
fundamental principles of this movement
are carried out. Jews. Catholics, ane
Protestants will certainly find that thei,
respective creeds have in no manner be

MRS. FRED T. DUBOIS
Wife of the Idaho Senator Recon-
mends a Plan Similar
to the Froebel
System.

~ ONE great teacher has said: 'It
is impossible to give sound in
tellectual education to the child
who has not a full moral devel-
opraent''
IL analyzing this thought, I think ]
am safe in saying all denominations
will agree with me. That we must not
reject the cornerstone which will make
the life of the boy or girl staple. AS j
have watched with keen interest the
controversy which has taken place for
the past four weeks IL Washington, ]
have been led to feel that it is not
moral education being taught in the
school that anyone objected to, rather
the enc through which this knowledge
WIS to be given.
There is not a mother, I care not
whether Jew or Gentle, Catholic Oh
Protestant, but what would rather
choose a Christian teacher for her child
than an in1deI. In fact. there is not a
university college, academy, city or vii
lage, that will not give the position as
head master to a Christian rather thar
an infidel or agnostic, all other quail
ications being equal Why? Because
we demand that the intellectual atmo.
sphere surrounding our children be
laden with the pure, undefiled faith ir
something higher, IN something better
than mere earthly work or pleasure.

Character Must Be Taught.

/ suppose the basic fundament for all
faith and pure desire for right living Is
found in the little one of kindergarten

preaching on morality. He makes his
little garden Of children feel 1t from
their intercourse with nature and their
love for others rights. This same sys-
tenn of education should be carried
through the university, and 1 doubt not
that the results would be more salts

THE question of moral training in

~ HE question of moral training in
the schools is, believe, one OF
the most serious which has ever
confronted parents and the school
government.
A great many persons have misan-
derstood Dr. Mekirn, in taking IT for
granted that he mas advocated religious
training, which might prove detriment
TO some one denomination. People go
to extremes in many things, but from
what / have read Of the controversy
cannot see that DR.. McKim has proved
an extremist il presenting this question
to the school board
Reciting The Ten Commandments and
the Lords Prayer cannot be taken as
an interference with any doctrine, and
the institution of moral training among
the public school children certainly can
not fail to receive the endorsement OF
every public-spirited and broad-nlinded
citizen.

The C. A. R. Encampment.

The encampment at Denver
was certainly great advertise.
ment for Colorado. At least 100,
900 visitors were in the capital
city last week. And from that
point they scattered by different
routes to every part of the state.
Over $4,000 visited Colorado
Springs, 10000 visited Cripple
Creek, 1900 stopped at Pueblo,
and as many more went up into
the northern towns.
Truly it was a great advertise
ment and it will be a paying one
as well.
Many a veteran will leave his
eastern home, take up his abode
amid the grand attractions of
that mountain state, and be laid
to rest in Colorado's soil.

DEFECTS OF THE LAW.
But the law is fatally defective

binding manner just what kinds
OF liquor shall be bought and
ho" it shall be bought, without
leaving it to the discretion of
any board. Every detail should
be worked out, and then the
law would execute itself as far
as that feature is concerned.

OBJECTS TO COUNTY ELECTIONS.
But as rsgares the proposed cleo
ton to vote out the dispensary.
If the dispensary is to be voted
out it should, and must, be voted
out of the state, not by individual
counties. OF course, | recognize
the deep seated love of the people
for local self government, and |
would not compel any county to
retain the dispensary or have
one established therein ie ma
jority of their citizens, ns:,wanted pro

failure to prohibit. But, judg-
ing simply by the facts in the nu-
n.crous elections that have been
held on the subject, l believe that
a large majority of the people of
The state are as strong believers
IN the dispensary system as | am,
and that they are only casting
about now for method Of re-
l'eving themselves of the corrupt
machine, which is said to be in
charge In Columbia. Many states
IN the Union have had corruption
IN their State Governments and
their State Treasurers have defaul

SENATOR TILLMAN's LETTER.
Trenton, July 1, 1905.
MIR. Frances w. Higginson,

and this becomes the more neces.

PREMISES OF THE ARGUMENT.
l shall pre- emise what | write
by laying down certain general
principles which will be disput.
cd only by those who are fanati-
cal and unwilling to consider
any subject from any other
standpoint than that of bigotry
and prejudice.
Most men will agree to the
following:
1. All men love stlmulants
and are usually slaves to some
kind, as witness tho strong ap.
petite which prevails for coffee,
tea, tobacco, beer, wine, brandy,
whiskey, morphine. quinine,
cocaine, etc. With the exception
of some Of the drugs mentioned
there are no Injurious effects I'm.
mediately perceptible and none
of them intoxicate except those
containing alcohol. Alcoholic
beverages in moderation are not
more harmful than tea or coffee,
probably less 80.
2. The abuse of liquor by men
drinking to excess has caused as
much or more crime and misery
then any other thing.
3. The proper policeing and
control of the liquor traffic so as
to minimize it's abuses is one of
the most perplexing and trouble
some questions with which any
government has to deal. Men
have never agreed as to any one
method being best and never
will, and there is a constant,
agitation of the subject in some
form going on all the while in
almost every State in the Union.
4. Experience shows that
some meu will have liquor as
beverage and that no law has
ever yet been devised which will
prevent them obtaining it Wise
men are, therefore, content to
reduce the evils Of liquor selling
and liquor drinking to the MINI.
mum, and the question at issue
in South Carolina now, as it has
been these fifteen or twenty
years, is as how to do this.
