Curiosity Is keen on another point. and
that Is az to whether the colonel will re-
fer In his public addresses to national

to the nationaIists in Egypt has been ad-
versely criticised by the Berlin news
papers. which declare that his speeches
have not made the task Of the British
government in dealing with the aspira-
tions of the natives any easier. One
Berlin paper observes that the national
lists In Egypt are angry because they
have been rebuked. as II they were

son that in a foreign country an other

CALL FOR LITTLE COMMENT

The speeches of Vice President
Sherman and the Hon. James Z.
Watson at Milwaukee call for little
comment. Their idea is that no
man can be a republican unless he
slavishly votes the party ticket at
every election, and supports any
policy that the selfish and corrupt
Interests may force on the party.
On this theory there would never
have been, as far as any one can
see, a triumphant republican party.
For if the democrats of a half
century ago had followed this adj
vice they would have stuck to their
party. II they had done that the
party would have continued to win
victories. 1t all amounts to saying
that a political party is not a living
organism. but a hardened faction
that can never respond to public
sentiment, never meet changed
conditions. OF. course, both the
orators attributed everything we
enjoy, even our Civilization" to
the republican party. The day
for that sort of twaddle has passed.
AS for prosperity we would remind
the distinguished standpattcrs that
we had a lively panic less than three
years ago. and that at the present
time what with high taxes high
prices and freight rates there are
millions of people in this country
who feel very sorely the burden OF
the present republican prosperity.

CARNEGIE KNEW BETTER THAN THEY

There is no person possessed of a
grain of intelligence who will not
ad nit that Andrew Carnegie knows
more of the effects of a tariff than
does the congressional committee
who brought out the recent report
on the high cost of living, therefore
what he had to say on the tariff
subject in his testimony before the
ways and means committee of the
house in December, 1908, will prove
Of more than passing interest just
at the present time. When he was
before the committee at the time
Carnegie said:
"A protective duty in its nature
and its object means that the con-
sumner has to pay a higher price
than he otherwise would for the
articles protected. The only ~justif-
cation for a government raising
the price to a consumer of any
article, because that is what the
tariff does If the tariff did not raise
the value it would be Of no use
that is only justifiable when you
can induce a body Of capitalists to
risk capital in the experiment of
introducing the new industry into
the country, which is in its nature
temporary
The iron master insisted that the
steel industry had outgrown the
tariff and that American manu-
facturcrs need fear no foreign com-
petition. Then he went on to give
this Illuminating discussion of the
relation of protective duties to
trusts:
"Mr. Carnegie think that the
tendency of combination is to raise
prices and to exact from the con-
sumcr what they safely can. il
there is no tariff the combination
comes together and fixes a price,

THE BIBLE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The Bible-any version of it
and all religious hymns and prayers
have been barred from Chicago's
public schools by the supreme
court of Illinois, on the ground
that it is a violation of the consti-
t%utional right of religious freedom.
The wrong arises" says the
supreme court, mot out of the
particular version of the Bible or
form of prayer used or the the par
ticuIar hymns sung, but out of the
compulsion to join in any form of
worship. The free enjoyment of
religious worship includes freedom
not to worship. 1t is not a ques-
ton to determined by a court in a
country Of religious freedom what
religion or what sect is right. All
stand equal before the law. The
reading of the Bible in school is
instruction. Religious instruction
may not be the object of such read
ing, but whether it is or not. re-
ligious instruction is accomplished
by it. What right have the teachers

that which they are taught by their
~parents?" The dcision pleascs most

A young Indian about seventeen
years of age had a narrow escape
from death near the Indian school
ont he morning of the 5th by being
u over by the Minden train. The
yourg feilow had been up the
greater part of the evening before
attending a gambling game at one
of the nearby Indian camps and had
started to walk to the Indian school
after the departure of the Minden
train. When near the school he
had sat down on the ties and re-
moved his shoes as his feet were
bothering him. While seated here
he fell asleep and was not noticed
by the negineer of the returning
train until the engine was almost
upon him. 1t was impossible to stop
lie train until the engine and
coaches had passed over him. He
was pulled out from under the last
coach and brought to this city in
post haste, where his injuries were
dressed, consisting of a cash on the
forehead and several scratches on
his checks. 1t is one of the mys-
teries of railroading how the train
could pass over him without tearing
him to piece. Carson News.
