will certainly not fail to manifest
themselves by tomorrow or next day.
Wall street has been weaned of its
appetite and the meek and lowly lamb
may find other places for rest and
comfort than in the shadow of the big
stick. The federal grand jury may re-
sumo its duty OF killing time and draw
ing per diem. and the United States
attorneys may catch up on the sleep
they have missed in the last four
years. The shipper will no longer have
to hire a corps of lawyers and a squad
of detectives to aid him in securing
privileges extended to his rivals and
the lobbyist and the Representative
of the legal department" will have to
go to work for a living. The modest
investor of his savings in corporate
securities will share the usufruct with
the expert organizer of blind pools in
Wall street. Stock watering again will
be recognized as an agricultural and
not financial pursuit and melon cut
ting again will be done with knife
instead of with a check book. A plain
citizen, so long as he behaves him
self, will stand as high in the COM

The community of interest will be en-
larged to include others than railroad
presidents, rebater and convict will
become synonyms in the new dlction-
aries and mergers will be listed with
myths. Altogether, the world will be
pretty good place in which to live.
There's no question about the speedy
realization of this roseate dream. Mr..
Hartman and his associates announce

try are going to cooperate with the

ADOPTING AMERICAN 1pEAA

BY vote which, while far from de-
cisive, must be considered significant
as a test of sentiment, the British
House of Commons has taken the first
long step toward the acceptance Of the
American idea of the proper relations
between church and state-complete
separation. Although a majority of
the members of the House of Com
mons was lacking at the time the vote
was taken, the test showed 1913 affirm
atives to 80 negatives on a resolution
favoring the disestablishment of the
Anglican church in England and
Wales. The ministry took no part in
the vote or discussion. although one
member of the cabinet. Mr.. Birrell,
the secretary for Ireland, declared
that the state had gained nothing by
connection with the church and he be-
lieved the church would be far better
off If separated from the state.
This sentiment for the divorce of
church and state has been a plant of
slow growth in England, but It prom
Uses now rapidly to reach maturity
and blossom into effective action. It
will naturally be opposed in the House
Of Lords, where the prelates are recog-
nized and have representation with
the peers, but indications are that the
movement now on foot for reorganiz-
ing the House of Lords will leave the
prelates without effective representa-
ton in that body. The adoption OF
such a plan would hasten the final ae-
ton for the separation.
The proposed disestablishment is but
another concession to public opinion.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Cleveland Leader: And now the manufac-
ture of church pews has fallen into the
hands of a trust. Here, at last, is an I'M
answerable argument for the man whose
wife asks him to go to church with her
on Sunday morning.
Chicago Chronicle: Discouragement is the
dominant note in a good many religious
bodies nowadays. II is declared that the
people are falling away from the churches
and the detection is deemed inexplicable.
Is It not easily enough explained, however?
OF half dozen sermons reported in last
Mondays newspapers not one dealt with
the doctrine of the Christian religion. They
treated OF any topic but that. Is 1t not
possible that II Christian preachers were to
return to teaching Christianity the churches
would be better attended once more?
New York Sun: The progress of the
legal action to determine the mental condi-
ton OF Mary Baker Glover Eddy will be
watched with uncommon interest by many
who are not included in the membership
of the sect OF which she is the founder.
II is easy for her detractors to charge her
with plagiarism and to disparage her per-
sonal accomplishments. This does not alter
the principal fact that her doctrines have
been accepted by a large body OF educated
and cautious men and women, whose con-
tributions to the furtherance of the creed
in time. labor and money have reached an
astonishing total. Mrs. Eddy is not less
absorbing subject of study than General
Booth, the founder and commander Of the
Salvation Army, though they differ essen
TALLY in their methods. In one thing they
are alike however; each has kept control
OF the purse strings, fact that has given
rise in each case to severe criticism.

which, In the long run, is as potent
with nionarchies as with republics.
The Church of England has lost its
popular hold and is now outnumbered
and surpassed in influence and energy
by the nonconformists and other
Protestant bodies that really represent
the liveliest part of the British popula-
ton. The state reasons for the estab-
lishment and support of the Church
of England have disappeared and the
organization is now in the minority
and, in some sections of England and
Wales, in positive disfavor.
AS a result, the sentiment is grow
ing that all churches whose practices
are not opposed to public good are
entitled to government protection;
creeds, forms and particular beliefs
are matters which belong to the peo-
pie and with which the state has no
concern. The established form in Eng
land is, in effect, governmental dis
elimination against the adherents of all
religions and creeds other than the
Church of England. and the protest
against this discrimination cannot
much longer go unheeded. Modern
ideas of justice demand equal rights
and equal privileges for religious de-
nominations and England cannot much
longer refuse to recognize the drift
toward equality in all matters affect
ing church and state. The American
idea on this subject is eternally right
and must eventually prevail. in Eng
land and everywhere.

AsTo 4 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

As TO 4 CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
The Bee will frankly admit that it is
not in accord with the move on foot
in the legislature to submit PROPOSE
ton for calling a constitutional con-
vention to frame a new constitution
for Nebraska. Most of the lawyers in
the legislature would, doubtless, like
to serve in a constitutional convention
and some of them might shine in such
body, but constitutional conven-
ton would not only be costly. but
would open up a multitude of issues
and contentious that would seriously
disturb the state.
The present constitution contains
many valuable and praiseworthy pro-
visions, particularly those for the pro-
lection of the public against corporate
encroachment, which the railroads
would surely try to eliminate and which
the people would not want to risk
losing. The really needed changes, on
the other hand, can be obtained by
specific amendment adopted in a man
ner similar to the railway commission
amendment of last year without open
ing the door to all sorts of freak isms
and corporation trickery.
The projection of the constitutional
convention scheme at the present time
evidently has also a second object,
namely, to block all proposed amend
ments now pending. 1t should not be
allowed to have this effect. even were
the convention to be favored, because
revision by convention cannot be ac-
complished short of four years,
whereas amendments submitted by
this legislature can be adopted and
become operative within two years.
The enlargement of the supreme
court, the readjustment of the gov
ernor's salary, the safeguarding of the
school fund investments, authority for
complete municipal home rule, should
be provided for at once, separate and
apart from the chance of a consti-
tutional convention. On these sub
jects the legislature is in position it.

THE ALDRICH CURRENCY LAW.


Since the adoption of the law estab-
fishing the gold standard in the United
States, congress has been very slow in
considering measures looking to
further reforms in the country's cur
rency system. Experts of the Treas
ury department, committees of the
American Bankers association and
other organizations have persistently
urged upon congress the need of ad-
ditional legislation calculated to lend
elasticity to currency, to allow greater
leeway in the investment of national
bank deposits, and other changes to
benefit the banking, industrial and
commercial interests of the country.
Congress has refused to act upon any
enactment of the Aldrich currency bill
breaks the record of inactivity in cur
rency legislation.
The Aldrich bill deals only with
features of the currency question gen.
orally conceded to require additional
legislation. The author evidently I'M
derstood the feeling of hostility
against currency tinkering and re-
Trained from including in his bill any
OF the more or less radical reforms,
so-called, that have been so strongly
urged by organizations formed for the
purpose of securing currency leglsla-
ton.
The principal feature of the new
law provides that 100000 in ma
tional bank notes may be retired in
any one month, instead of $4,000, 900,
as at present. The argument in sup
port of this is that banks should not
be required to pay tax on a large cir
culation in months when there is little
demand for money. but should be al
lowed to increase or retire their cir
culation to meet commercial demands
and emergencies. Another provision
allows the secretary of the treasury to
issue gold certificates in small denomi-
nations, thus increasing the number
OF small bills in circulation without
affecting the total of the gold certifi-
cate issues.
The bill authorizes the secretary of
the treasury to deposit all government
receipts in national banks, without dis
tinguishing between customs and in
ternal revenue. Under the existing
law, passed years ago to maintain the
value of government securities payable
In gold, the customs receipts have been
held in treasury. The secretary may

A MEMORIAL TO CARL ScHuRz.

While appeals for popular subscrip-
Schurz have not met with the liberal
response that was hoped. friends of
the movement are not daunted but are
/ laying new plans for raising $250,000
for the purpose of erecting a bronze
or marble memorial to the memory of
the German-American, who as SOL
der, editor, senator and cabinet Of
ficer played such a prominent part in
American public affairs during the try
ing times of the civil war and the
years following it.
Schurz did more perhaps than any
| other one man to promote wide ap-
plication of the principles of civil serv-
ice reform and that at a time when
both political parties were welded to
the claim that Ito the victor belongs
the spoils." He led in the work of pro-
noting Germanic culture in the United
States and was the pioneer in demand
ing recognition of the rights OF the
Indians, whose property holdings had
long been looked upon as common
prey. He was leader in many of the
reform movements of his time and en-
couraged and fought for them when
it meant abuse and derision from al
most every source. re, .r- ..,-sra
The efforts of the Schurz memorial
committee should be rewarded with
abundant success, but Carl Schurz will
have place in history more enduring
than any bronze or marble statue that
may be erected to his memory. 1t would

raised by the committee could be used
