AT the conclusion of the temporary
chaIrman's speech there was applause
that was deafening. The scene was an
inspiring one; men were standing wav-
ing their hats, women were waving
flags and handkerchief and the fiutter
of color was kaleidoscope, while lake
breeze wandering about with nothing
to do concluded to help on the enthusi-
asm by coming in through the open
windows and starting in motion the
great flags suspended all over the hail.
AS the applause died away another
gavei was presented, this to the tempo
rary chairman, who taking his place
at the desk announced that the next
business of the convention was tempo
rary organization.
This business was transacted in the
afternoon by the election of the tenn

Dolliver the Man Around Whom the
Fight Is Raging.
The vice presidential situation con-
tinues to maintain it's puzzling position.
1t presents new aspect for almost
every hour of the day, but at no time
does it show a disposition to become
less complicated Senator Dolliver has,
as for some time past, been the center
of the complication, and it is gener-
ally admitted that there will be no
solution until he is either nominated
At one time it looked as if the Iowa
senator was ont of the race, but when
soon afterwards the news came from
Washington that there had been dec
laration from the White House that the
candidate for the second place must
come from Iowa the boom was given
a renewal of life, and the senator's
friends were willing to say that his
nomination was assured. But still lat
err dispatch from Washington denied
the White House report.
If Senator Dolliver should be elm
mated the contest as now presented
would lie between Vice President Fair
banks and Representative Sherman, Of
New York, and both receive much en-
enlargement. 1t was stated on behalf
Of Fairbanks, however, that if nomin-
ated he would not accept.

Next to a lack Of faith IN the

the blighting dread of exposing our
weakness and our littleness to others.
Sad as it may be, it is yet true that
many worthy souls shrink not only
from their simplest, plainest duties,
but their highest, noblest opportuni.

laughed at.-Jenkin Lloyd Jones.

Powers and Howard Pardoned.

By giving pardon to Caleb Powers
and James Howard, Governor Wilson
closed the last chapter in one Of the
most noted criminal cases in the his
tory of this state, in which the people
of all sections of the United States
have formally expressed their interest
by signing thepetition for pardon. Pow
ers was released from the Georgetown
Jail and Howard was set free from the
penitentiary here about the same hour.

Governor Goebel is well-known history

OMAHA July 23.-To the Editor of The

a letter in the Monday Evening Bee, enti-
tied Triumph of Scientific Medicine" Had
the writer, evidently a we'll read M. ID
been as i~ntelligently informed on the subj
Ject or metaphysics as on that Of physics.
he would not have included Christian
Science in his list Of medical systems.
Christian Science is a religion, which. in
common with other denominations, must he
classified as such, and not as a system or
medicine. It's practice is the exercise Of
religious tenets, and in this sense every
adherent is a Christian Science practitioner.
Its mission is the destruction of sin. ac-
complished through the mental and moral
regeneration Of its beneficiaries; the physi-
cal healing follows as a result.
BY eliminating sin from the Individual
consciousness and intoxicating a love nj
good, Christian Science is laying the axe
at the root Of disease, and so proving to
be a powerful prophylactic.
Chistian Science departs from all other
curative methods in that It relies SOLELY
upon Spirit, God, as the one healing power
and eschews all material methods. includ-
ing suggestion. The Christian Scientist
does not practice medicine, consequently q
knowledge Of its various systems would he
valueless to him. AS we'll insist that ALI
Christians who pray for the sick be in
structed in materia medica in order that
they may be safe members Of the commun-
ity.
The methods of Christian Science and
mAteria medica are so widely divergent
that any attempt to unite them in practice
must prove futile. Attempts to regulate
the practice Of Christian Science by first
enormously classifying 1t as a medical sys-
tenn, and then through legislative enact
ment restricting or prohibiting it, involve
the curtailment of religious liberty, and
such a law would be unconstitutional.
Christian Scientists are not forcing their
beliefs upon others. Hence, no protection
is needed from them. Is It necessary To
invoke government control to save the en-
lishtened people of our country from their
W choice of religion or medicine5
Regulation for the practice OF medicine
may be requisite, but no legislative BODY
has the right to restrict the functions of
prayer sanctioned by divine authority.
