TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL "a. 1906.

"a SCHOOL FOR INFIDEls" is the title
given To the University Of Chicago day
or Two ago ia an open letter sent to the
members of the faculty by Richard
Hayes Mccartney, professor OF Biblical
literature in that inslitution. The start
ling attack against the school ends with
an appeal to John d. Rockefeller to re-
move Prof. George b. Foster, author OF
"The Finally, of the Christian Re-
lision." Mr. Hayes calls for the i'm
mediate removal of Prof. Foster from
the institution. The recent attacks
made in colleges against the Christian
religion are attracting the attention OF
the thoughtful. The arrows Of inidelity
are not only coming from institutions OF
learning, but are often seen flying from
pulpits, which shows that certain men
are drawing salaries to proclaim what
they do not believe themselves. They
should step down aud out and cease their
masquerading

ing the deliverance of ten of the most
important of the political prisoners.

HIGH OFFICIALS of the Baltimore and

al Baltimore before the Interstate Com
merce. Commission, last week, were COM
PEELED to confess that they had owned
stock in coal companies, receiving It
sometimes as gifts; that they purchased
locomotive fuel above market price and
shared in the profits; that they had re-
stricted independent mining by iayorlng
the big companies, and had paid rebates
by classifying their own company's out
put as "fuel" Fourth Vice President
Tbayer, of The Pennsylvania Railroad,
was forced TO admit that private cars
had been distributed unequally so as to
favor certain shippers. When railroad
officials high in authority make such
confessions there is little wonder at the
prejudice which seems to be growing
among The people against railroads.
