BIBLES NOT NEEDED
In Public Schools, But Teach
ers Should VitaIiZe Pre-
Cepts of the Book.


Winona Lake, Ind, Sept. 1.-"School
boards are recreant in their duty when
they employ irreligious teachers in the
public schools" said Prof. Charles
Swain Thomas, in an address yester
ence, on Friends and Public Educa-
ton
Prof. Thomas has been teacher Of
English in the Indianapolis high
schools, but this winter will go to the
Newton High School at Newton, Mass.
He doubted if any good would come
from an assigned place on the program
for the study of the Bible, but the edu-
cation must come through the person
ality of the teacher.
Prof. Thomas said he regarded the
chief weakness of the public schools
today their ignoring of religious teach
ing The science teacher of today
fails if he does not see the spiritual in
his teaching. Good teaching is vital
lied with emotion and he is good
teacher in proportion, as he throws his
personality and soul into his teaching.
The speaker emphasized the point
that the history teacher must himself
be patriot, and it is the duty of the
parent to object to any other kind of a
teacher.
DR.. Joseph Swain, formerly of the
Indiana State University, but now of
Swarthmore, said that he was not in
favor of giving the Bible a regular
place in the school program, but that
religious teacher should always be
selected by the school board.
William Grist of Earlham College
said educators must get away from
holding up warriors as attractive. This
is false education, he said, and one
all colleges, independent of denomina-
ton, must denounce.

PEACE CONFERENCE
NOT SUCCESSFUL
Taft Did Not Journey to Fl.
Meigs to Attend the
Dedication.
MEANT TWO LONG TRIPS.
ACTION is DISAPPOINTING TO
THOSE WHO EXPECTED TO
BRING ABOUT PEACE BETWEEN
FORAKER AND BIG CANDIDATE.

Middle Bass Island, Ohio, Sept. l.
If there was any probability of har-
mony meeting being arranged between
Judge William II. Taft and Senator Jo-
seph Benson Foraker at Ft. Meigs to-
day, it vanished last night when the
presidential nominee stated he would
rot attend the dedication ceremonies
at that place.
At his cottage he said that he would
be compelled to decline any invitation
that might be extended by the COM
mittee, because of the difficulties at
tending the travel between this point
and Ft. Meigs.
To be present would mean beginning
the journey almost before daylight in
order to reach Toledo and the return
journey would be as full of difficulties.
This would have to be repeated on
Wednesday, len he would have to re-
turn to Toledo in order to deliver his
address before the National G. A. r.
There is no doubt but that the fact

Springfield, and General H. c. Corbin,

these distinguished gentlemen are here
and this afternoon were quite hopeful
of good results in their missionary
work.
General Corbin, early in the after
noon went to Sandusky, and returned
after dinner tonight. What message
he bore to Judge Taft is known only to
both of them, but before his arrival
the nominee said that nothing that
might be said would alter his determi-
nation not to go to Ft. Meigs. There
still remains a chance to bring about
meeting Wednesday. as it is under
stood that both of the principals in
this affair will be in Toledo at the
same time for several hours

PhiIanthropic Attempt of N. o.
Nelson as Reflected by
"Homecroft" Proves Unap-
preciated by Dublin People.
INTEREST FLAGGED AND
PLANS ARE ABANDONED.
Dreams of Earthly Paradise
For Dublin Folks Failed to
MateriaIize, SO Property
Is Sold for Town Lots.

The efforts of n. o. Nelson, the st.
Louis Millionaire philantrophist and
idealist, to convert the little town of
Dublin, this county, into Utopian
colony have met with failure. The
people of Dublin had only sympathy
for Mr.. Nelson and took but indif-
ferent interest in his plans for the
Improvement of that community.
They regarded his "Homecroft'' estab-
lishment and his plans to erect pub
lie buildings, of which every resident
of Dublin was to be a joint owner,
merely the eccentricities of a dream
er who had more money than he
knew what to do with.
Disguised with the lack of interest
displayed by Dublin people in his real
ly sincere efforts to improve the town
Mr. Nelson became provoked after he
had built the Homecroft establishment
and decided it to Miss Flora Brown.
and he abandoned his plans for furth-
stated, also withdrew his support from
the Homecroft institution and for the
past year 1t has not been in operation.
Miss Brown has disposed of the prop
erty to John Gibbs. a we'll to do resi-
dent of Mooresville, Ind. 1t is under
stood he will use the building for his
private residence and will stake off a
greater part of the ground into town
lots.
Three or four years ago Miss Brown
interested Mr.. Nelson in a plan to con-
vert Dublin into a Utopian paradise.
He first remodeled at cost of $5, 900
a building which was named Home
croft" This was to be a manual train
ing school for the young men of the
community. Furniture of antique de-
signs and bric-a-brac of various kinds
was to be manufactured, mostly by
hand. by these students. After the in.
by Mr.. Nelson to Miss Brown, and
she assumed active management of
the school. This building was com,
pleted in 1906.
At first there was large number
of yolng men who took advantage
of the philanthropy of Mr.. Nelson but
the novelty soon wore off and the
school attendance soon feel away un-
til about a year ago it was necessary
to close 'Homecroft." Mr.. Nelson
had planned to spend about $4,000 in
Dublin by the erection of a manufac.
turing plant, bank building, kin
dergarten school and other public
buildings, but seeing his efforts were
not appreciated he abandoned these
plans and has since turned the cold
shoulder upon Dublin. "Homecroft"
which is soon to be converted into a
residence, is splendid eighteen room
building and equipped in the best
style.

Prosecutor Supplied With In
formation Regarding Conk-
ey-Monninger Store That
May Lead to Serious Charge
BOY CLERK CONFESSED TO
SELLING LIQUOR AT STORE
Supt. Bailey Believes Store
Has Done Business as Sa-
LOOM Monninger Is Man
Said to Be at Fault.

Prosecutor Jessup stated this morn
ing that affidavits will be filed against
Albert D. Monninger of the Conkey-
Monninger Drug Co, charging him
with the illegal sale of intoxicating
liquors. This action is to be taken
on information supplied the prosecu-
tor by Everett Benham, minor en-
ployed as a clerk at the drug store.
Benham is under arrest on a charge
of selling liquor on Sunday. The
scription could not be placed against
the young man as the prosecutor
learned on investigation that Benham
was neither a licensed pharmacist or
a licensed assistant pharmacist. Ben
hams case has been filed in the juve-
nile court
Prosecutor Jessup states that he
charge to be filed against Monninger
will be, as he has not thoroughly in
vestigated the case. In the event ii
is ascertained that Monninger is a
licensed pharmacist Ill be charg.
ed with selling liquoI ..Ithout a pre-
scription from a reputable physician
If he is not a licensed pharmacist he
will be charged with violation of the
blind tiger law.
Young Benham after being arrest
ed, it is understood, admitted that he
had been guilty of illegally selling
whisky. He also stated that the drug
store had twenty-five or thirty pat
rons who were supplied whisky with
out prescriptions. He stated that this
whisky was generally sold by Mon
ninger.
Il am convinced that the Conkey
Monninger drug store has been oper
ated virtually as a saloon for some
time past" stated Chief Bailey this
morning.
No charges will be filed against
Conkey as he lives in indianapolis and
is not directly connected with the
management Of the drug store. Chief
Bailey thinks that a number of cases
can be made against Monninger as
he knows Of several men who LOAF
about the store and who probably
would know something about Monnin
gers alleged illegal sale of whisky.
