ILLINOIS SUPREME BENCH SAYS
RELIGIOUS EXERCISES CAN.
NOT BE INTRODUCED.
VICTORY FOR CATHOLICS
Wrong Arises Out Of Compulsion to
Join in Any Form OF Worship,
Court Holds-Justice Cart
wright and Hand Dissent.

Springfield, lIl.-The supreme court
of Illinois has decided that religious
exercises, consisting or the reading of
the Bible, singing and prayer, cannot
be held in the public schools of this
state, during the time pupils are re-
CURED to be In attendance.
The decision was handed down in
Winchester, Scott county, who had
protested against religious exercises
held in the school of that district.
Their application for writ of man
damus to require the board of educa-
ton to discontinue the religious serv-
ice had been denied in the lower
court, but the supreme court upholds
their contention and directs the writ
to issue.
The opinion In the cas- Is written
by Justice Dunn. Justices Cartwright
and Hand dissent, but have not filed
their opinion.
The majority opinion recited at
length the history of the separation
of church and state.
The petition in the case set up that
the pupils in the school were required
each day to hear portions read from
the King James version of the Bible;
that they recited the King James ver-
sion of the Lords prayer, and that
they sang in concert sacred hymns,
one of which was mentioned, Grace
Enough for Me-"
No Doubt of Religious Character.
"If these exercises of reading the
Bible, poining in prayer and the sing
ing of hymns were performed in a
church." the court says, there would
be no doubt of their religious charac-
ter, and that character is not changed
by the place of their performance. If
the petitioners children are required
to join in the acts of worship, as al
legged in the petition, against their
consent, and against the wishes Of
their parents, they are deprived Of
the freedom of religious worship guar
anteed to them by the constitution.
The wrong arises, not out of the
particular version of the Bible or form
of prayer used, whether that found in
the Douay or the King James version,
or the particular songs sung, but out
of the compulsion to join In any form
of worship. The free enjoyment of
religious worship includes freedom not
to worship"

THE LESSON OF MOLOKAI.

1t is almost what might be called sporting
interest that science brings To It's unceasing
fight against disease. Outpost after outpost
falls to a campaign waged swithou, regard to
difficulty, without relaxation from labor with
ont admission of the possibility of defeat In
the cause whose end is the great economic ques-
ton of the preservation Of life, all Nature is
cross-examined for her secrets, all hypothesis
are tested, no experiment is so garish in APP
pearance that it cannot get hearing. To carry
another line of defense the great .ar1ny of ex-
detrimental medicine and biology labors with an
enthusiasm that does not pause at the sacrifice of
life itself, and works with purpose that is at
once beyond the hope of personal gain and care
less of the reward of personal renown Here
and there some investigator makes small dis
covery that is pregnant with hope. He has, as
it were, his hand upon the key 10 the secret
chamber. His fingers, did he choose to let them,
are already closed on fame and riches. But the
fine thing about the battle is that in such an
event the investigator at once discloses, instead
of nurturing his clue. Instantly all the world
of science is on the trail detected by one mans
scientific scent. Frequently it happens that
when the new quarry is brought to EARTH the
man who directed the chase is but an inconspic-
uous figure in the hunt Yet it is Just this un-
selfish spirit that gives the constant conflict
what might be called the esprit du corps of loNe.
Just now it is announced from Molokai. the
leper colony in Hawaii, that>the feprd bacillus
has been propagated in pure culture. That
means. If the record of scientific achievement

avail.

Recently, In comment upon reference TO the
late John Charles Mcneil as boy poet, we
had occasion to state that not onl was Mcneil a
man, but his poems were mans poems, in shin
ing contrast to the grist that the Tar Heel State
turns out annually in the shape of near poetry,
little of it designedly funny, most of 1t seriously
ridiculous. Noting this quotation, which had
been copied by the Norfolk Landmark,
Charles A. Morrisette writes to that paper,
serting that our statement 'manifestly
fair TO living Tar Heel writers" and quoting
as justification of the charge some graceful verses
by Harold Child dedicated to Mcneil himself.
Whereupon Mr. Morrisette asks Would the
editor of The Richmond Tirqinaan class this a.
seriously ridiculous | might also call his at
tention to the work of the Rev Plato Durham"
We protest that our reference to the grist that
is turned out by the poetica Tar Heels ought not
to be held against lis as including all the literary
and poetica output of the State of North Caro-
lima. That there IL much such worthless chaf
anyone who has followed the efforts of the Tar
Heel who has become ehtangled with the Muse
will admit. To all such Mcneil, on account of
his versatility, the humanity of his appeal and
the beauty of his inspirations, was indeed in
shining contrast-a contrast that We are certain
EVEN thIoe lew Stlltu -NoftH tdfOliHldHS WHO
have largely been inspired by his work will be
glad to admit. So far as Mr.. Morrisettes cita-
tions are concerned we admit the beauty Of his
illustration, as we admit the talent of Rev. Dur
ham Though we thought he wrought in prose
rather than in verse;. We might also cite to him
the work of another gifted Tar Heel--Henry
Jerome Stockard-whose exquisite handiwork in
the making of the sonnet has gained country
wide recognition.
Despite the statement of Cooger that the
s. South is not much given. to literature, North
Carolina has III late years mixed its effusons
with not a little work of rea and lasting merit
The fact that this is SO is due perhaps more TO
the example which Men ell set than to any other
or all the causes operating in two decades.

holds good as precedent that it is only ques-
ton of time when leprosy, the only recorded
cures of which are stated to have been the work
of miracles, is at last to yield to treatment. 1t
means that the most ancient of all the scourges
of humanity is to lose the dreadful dignity of
its incurable character. 1t means that human
ity, for It's protection, need no longer impose on
helpless thousands of unfortunates the cruelty
of isolation from their kind. The cry, Unctean,
which has echoed down the ages will no longer
be heard as the synonym Of hopelessness. Lep-

ton and cholera and smallpox, and tetanus,

Hansen who, in 1879, announced the discovery
of the lepra bacillus. Since them following the
principle of the serum as the cure and preventive

struggled to catch and breed the deadly secret of
the plague. Failure after failure only made the
hunt more keen. disappointment after disap-
polntment on v set the searchers more sternly on
the trail A year ago at Manila Dr. Moses r.

victim. Following his announcement, Doctors
Currie, Brinkerhoff and Hoffman, at Moloksi,
have labored with the persistence which only
science seems ever 10 have understood and APP
preciated. Now they have done what Currie
could not do what Hansen dreamed. No doubt
it will remain for someone else to accomplish
with the aid of their work what they are working
for. Yet in the great final achievement-such
is the concert and unsetsh organization of
science-the man who wins the ultimate glory
will not be pulled up. Modestly, as one to

THE SONS SAVE THE DAY.

The action of the Sons of Veterans in choos-
ing their own sponsors for the Norfolk reunion
vii cause responsive thrill TO run around The
State. Not only will the daughters and the grand
daughters of veterans find III it happy aolu-
ton of an unhappy precedent, but The Veterans
themselves, who were forced to deny themselves
the number of sponsors they would have liked,
will find in the presence of patriotic femininity
grace upon the occasion which they would other
wise have sorely missed.
1t ought to be said however. that the action
of the veterans, in stcrnly declaring for a re-
duction of sponsors. shows that the quality of
their courage is not diluted with years The
sponsors have undeniabv increased faster than
the veterans They had served in the past to
give to the Renaissance Of war a doubtful en-
phasis Of frills and flowers. Under their divert
ing influence the ball room had come to over
shadow the campfire riguratively speaking it
was sometimes impossible to see the veterans for
the laces to hear the rebel veil for the laughter
Of young women, to invoke the smell of anv pow
der except that which comes out of a box Some
witty veteran sometime since referred to the re
union of the sponsors, and made a hit-as
palpable at it was courageous. The veterans
would not capltuate-even to the sex TO which
they are always in captivity.
The action of the Sons" relieves pcrplcxing
situation. 1t gites the reunion its veterans; it
gives the Sons their sponsors 1t puts the eternal
girl back again where she has always stood in
the South, in the center of Affection on the fir
ing line of emotion. The Sons know what they
want when they want it. And, wanting they
have ii or know the reason why.
In the LIGHT of this COMPROMISE of penius we
trust that there will be no more twittering in the
dove cotes of Beauty and no more grumbling
in the bearded ranks of Heroes
