THE following is a"special" from
Columbia, Mo-, to the Republic,
dated January 19:
Professor A. w. Taylor of the
Bible school of the University of
Missouri, is conducting a class of
university men of the junior and
sophomore classes in the study of
the Bible with the intention OF
preparing them to teach Bible
classes at the university next
year.
This is a new one on me.
Which bible is made the subject
of their "lessons?" Do they teach
from the Catholic bible or King
James version? Or lis the Koran
considered? Under our (sup-
posed) fundam entail prohibition OF
church -and-state the University,
being a State institution, has no
right to adopt any religious text
book whatever. There is no room
for creedal instruction in schools
maintained through public tax
alton. There is no need for it
the churches look after that, as is
their divine province. When the
State NEEDLES with their work il
but muddles.

prise and wonder, mingled with
indignation. | ought to have had
sense enough to discredit it. All
the semblance of truth to the
story lay in the fact that for one
hour, when large map of Oklaho-

the conference on definite capitol

pictures at the end of the hall

In the early stages the acute ca

I CONFESS to being a believer in
Henry George Democracy. His
life was devoid of selfishness and
devoted to the service of his fel.
lowmen. He is dead, but his good
works live after him. His single
tax theory is gaining adherents
every succeeding day. In this con-
nection l clip the following from
the st. Louis Mirror:
A piece of land at Sixth and
Chestnut streets, this city, was
valued assoc a front foot in 1851.
1t was revalued for leasing, the
other day, at S3,500 front foot.
Who made that value-the owner?
Not at all: it was made by the
growth of the city. The owners
have not used it. For sixty years
they have charged other people
for the use of it and presumably
made those others pay the taxes,
too. Does this increment belong
to the owners and non-users? Ger
tainly not. 1t belongs to all the
people who created it and it should
be taxed out Of the owners
pockets and into the public treas
ury. The owner gets his, the lessee
gets his. Both get theirs, not out
of the property but out of the
community, in the prices the
community has to pay, that the
renter must pay to the lessee, that
the lessee must pay to the owner.
Everybody works but the land
lord. Everybody works for the
landlord. The Single Tax will
make the landlord work, as
think I have said many time and
oft before.

HERE is the latest sample of JUS
tice duly and lesrnedly adjudicat-
ed. A factory girl in New Jersey
had her arm torn from her body
by machinery. The trial court in
which she brought suit awarded
her S17,500. The corporation ap-
pealed and the supreme court re-
versed the lower court. Upon what
error? Here it is as given in the
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph of
January Sd:
A photograph had been intro
duced at the trial. This photo
graph was the picture of the plain
tiff in her confirmation dress and
the learned judges decided that it
was irrelevant; being irrelevant,
it should not have been admitted,
and being admitted, it nullified all
the proceedings of the court bear
ing upon the negligence and re-
sponsibility of the company.
And this is law in its final inter-
probation? Justice is often showed
aside to make room for potent
technicality, but this seems to me
as remarkable an instance as
could be put of record. And yet,
l don't know: Missouri has had
her celebrated Rube Oglesby case
and has learned by experience the
technical value of the article "the"

OSTEOPATHY IDEAL TREATMENT.
1t may surprise some readers,
who have been accustomed to re-
gard osteopathy as system Of
treatment for chronic diseases, to
learn that in many sections of the
country osteopaths are regularly
employed as family physicians,
and treat with exceptional success
and with decided shortening of the
period of illness, all of the disease
peculiar to childhood. The fevers
and other diseases of adults also
frequently yield under this treat
ment in a remarkable manner
but that, again, is another story.
It is an easy matter to make a
statement, but not always so easy
to substantiate it. | am placing
before you plain statement of
fact, and can only ask that you
thoroughly investigate the matter
before accepting it. In general |
would say most all that has been
finally approved in other systems
is included in osteopathy, such as
attention to diet, temperature oi
the room, light, fresh air, disinfec'
ton, etc. The osteopaths observe
all of the precautions taken by
other physicians to prevent the
spread Of contagion. In addition,
however, to the measures of the
other schools, osteopathy applies
it's own principles in these cases
with most gratifying results. With
out going into the technique, I will
note some of the instances.
