1t was agan demonstrated here
that no town should be without
w~aterworks. The first alarm to
be sounded for over six months
was given one day this week
and it was not long before all
danger Of fire spreading was
over. Only one big hose was
used but the pressure was heavy
and the water started before the
fire had much Roadway. Our
neighbor town has had two bad
fires within a week and although
everyone worked bravely the
fire demon was too much for
them and seven buildings were
entirely destroyed and one dam
aged. A good system Of water
works means a lot to every town
and should be the first invest
!ment to be made in the way Of
town Improvement. Electric lights
cement walks, trees, parks and
boulevards can follow.

them to look at their own past

seems as though they are beginn-

We expected for some time
that this was going to be a clean

But it seems that the ''push" is
aching to get their past stewart

look very good if we have to go
into it. 1t would be a very
sensible thing to quietly lay
down and let the good men get

TEACHING THE BIBLE
IN THE SCHOOLS.
A COMMUNICATION
IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH"
FIR. ZINDLFR

To the Editor of the Beldng Banner:
wish 20 correct statement appear
ing in your last weeks issue concerning a
lecture or sermon delivered by the Rev.
j. W. Wilson, in which he is quoted as
stating that the exclusion of the Bible
from the schools of our states was caused
by three principal organizations, viz,
Jews, and ''the Political organization of
the Roman Catholic church." | wish to
brand this statement as false The
Catholic church is not in politics. There
is no desire on my part to enter into any
acrimonious religious controversy with
any religious body The cause of Chris
tian Truth and Charity is not served by
such methods. nor do | wish to cast a
reflection upon any mans creed or belief.
yield to every man the same privilege
that | love-to worship according to the
dictates of his conscience.
But | do wish to correct hoary old
misrepresentation. If the Rev. Wilson
stated that Catholics object to the read
ing of the Bible in the public schools, he
would have come closer to the truth We
want nothing more and nothing less than
the rights guaranteed to every citizen
under the Constitution. We ask for
nothing that is not strictly right and we
will submit o nothing that is wrong.
Jews, Lutherans, Dunkers, Catholics and
Others object to this enforcement. To do
SO would violate the first amendment to
the Constitution of the United States:
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religious or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof" 1t would
also nullify that part of the Fourteenth
Amendment which reads: 'No state
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privilege or immunities
OF citizens of the United States"
We have many other objections TO its
being read and often commented on by
men and women of every creed and no
creed, who often know little or nothing
of its meaning, and some even regard it
at times as a mere human hoax or fable.
There is no such "A thing rs Catholic

PERE MARQUETTE
OFFICIALS MEET THE
BELD|NG SHIPPERS
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER w.
\. GARRETT EXPLAINS CON
DITION OF ROAD

The head officials of the Pere Mar
quette railroad came to Bedding last Fri
day morning i'm a special car for get
acquainted meeting Local freight agent,
c. w. Brigham, had made the rounds of
the business places in the early morning
and invited the men 10 a meeting at the
aCity Hall at eleven O'Clock.
About fifty people, comprising the fac
ry heads and the merchants, were on
Nand promptly at the hour set. W. A.
Garrett. chief executive officer of the Pere
Marquette, was introduced by Mayer
Underwood. He talked earnestly and
enthusiastically for almost an hour.
Mr.. Garrett made it very plain that the
railroad was in dire need of money. He
said that il was forced to operate the
road by the Commerce Commission. In
order to do it efficiently they required for
immediate car repairs S300,000,OOO II
this amount could not be obtained they
would lose the use of several thousand
cars.
The Commission requires that the road
be operated efficiently, and this required,
said Mr.. Garrett, tn eservices of compe-
tent wOrkmen. \ recent canvass of. the
list of engineers now running on the Pere
Marquette shows that the average length
of service of the engineers, working as
engineers. was twenty-eight years. The
average length of service of the con-
ductorS. working as conductors, was
twenty-three years.
The management of the road was re-
quired to purchase, few days ago, said
Mr. Garrett, five new locomotives at a
cost of $4,000 each The average cost
of country station is $4,000. All of
these things the Pere Marquette needs
and is required to have if it continues to
operate Where to get the money with
which to buy this equipment is the thing
that confronts the management at every
turn.
The Commission and government con-
troll the freight rates, said Garrett, The
state of Michigan has maximum freight
rate of COG. This means that the rail
