RELIGION In GARY
PLAN STIRS RABBI
DR.. GrOssman Says This
Feature Will Stir Up
SeCtarianiSm.

The religious instruction feature OF
tackled by the Rev. Rudolph Grossman,
president of the New York Board of
Jewish Ministers, in a sermon yester-
day in Temple Rodeph Sholom, Lexing-
ton Avenue and Sixty-third Street. DR..
Grossman did not object TO the general
principles of the system, but was op-
posed to its scheme for separate re-
lgious instruction.
II deem it my duty not only as a
rabbi, charged with safeguarding the
best interests of my faith, but as an
American" said DR.. Grossman, "to raise
my voice against the religious instruc-
ton feature of the Gary system.
81 am opposed to this feature because
the mere recognition by the public
school of religion and religious differ
ences at once introduces the baneful
spirit OF sectarianism. II weakens, II
il does not nullify, that great principle
that is basic in our American life and
happiness, the complete separation OF
Church and State. The public school
has been the giant crucible in which
all that is alien and un-American is
melted away. It must most carefully
avoid seeming TO favor, even 70 the
slightest degree, one religious sect over
another
Il am opposed to the religious in
struction feature of the Gary system,
in the second place, because 1t newt
ably would tend to divide our children
into groups according to religious
affiliations. At certain times during
the school day the plan calls for one
group of children denominated Catholic
to 20 its way - its religious school;
another group, called Protestant, and
other groups, denominated Jewish, Ma
hometan and what not, would be forced
TO separate and Yend their way TO their
particular religious schools. Would
this not tend q foster and TO fasten

forming distinctive religious groups OF
children during school hours seems
utterly undemocratic. regard It as at

public schools, which is 10 unity and

SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION
FOR CRIMINAL NEG
LIGENCE

Parents and others, who je-
opardize the health or lives of
their children, wards or others
under their control and super
vision, by adhering to falacious
or supersticious practices and
refuse to provide rational and
reasonable relief to assist ma
ture in healing and Graduating
disease and malignant affec-
tions, may and should be pros
ecuted, according to the gravity
of the offense.
A case occurred in Scott coun-
ty recently, where a child's life
was sacrificed to satiate fanati-
cism, and the officials there are
preparing to prosecute the gull
ty parties, who were members
Of q sect commonly called Holy
Rollers" and who refused to
call q physician or to administer
medicine to check the ravages
of disease-cholera infantum.
The child died and in due course
a coroner's jury was summoned
and an inquest held which re-
suited in a verdict of death from
negligence of the parents.

BRADLEY SUGGESTS PLAN

Deputy Commissioner John L.
Bradley Of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, suggested a plan of
permanently improving the Mis-
souri, River, which not alone is
feasible and probably more cas-
lily accomplished than the dig
ging of the Panama Canal, the
latter a task which years ago
was pronounced impossible, but
which will constantly maintain
natural Kansas City-to-St.
Louis deep-water channel with
out any further outlay or work.
If carried out it would solve the
convict labor problem for Mis-
souri,, prevent further flooding
of Missouri lowlands and in
crease the amount Of and re-
claim for cultivation 100000
acres of Missouri land as rich
and fertile as is to be found in
the famous overflow sections Of
the African Nile, worth $780,
100000, at 500 an acre, a low
price considering the produc-
tiveness of the soil. The under
taking, while gigantic, is only
a matter of engineering, read
lily and easily carried out, with
the portions Of the reclamation
work completed in two or three
years.
"The best feature of all is
that this proposed river i'm
proving plan not alone would
pay for itself, but bring in ev-
cry year, after the first year Of
outlay, enough to meet all eX-
penses of the state government
and leave in the treasury annu-
ally about $3,OOO,OOO, which
could readily be diverted for
good roads purposes"
The next newspaper bulletin
of the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics will give in full Deputy
Bradley's plan of improving the
Missouri River, creating a per-
manent deep-water channel, re-
claiming lowlands and creating
q good roads fund.-Monday's

SOUND PHILOSOPHY?

Mr.. L. H. (Lou) Hunt, a form
er stock dealer Of Pennington
and St. Francois county, who
has suffered severely from a
broken limb the past few years,
was seen on our streets Monday.
In the course of conversation
with a Times reporter and
others, Mr.. Hunt stated, among
other bits of humor, that since
the town had gone dry it was
almost impossible to sell fruits
and vegetables at any price,
while last year when the town
was wet he had no trouble what
ever in getting a high market
price for anything he had to
sell, therefore, he had decided
to vote the Republican and wet
tickets next year in order that
he might get good prices for his
fruit crop and vegetables.
This is a remarkable demon
stration of some of the philos-
ophy of our Republican politi-
clans.

LIFE SENTENCE TOO EASY

The Georgians were deter
mined that Leo Frank, who muir
dered Mary Phagan, should, ac-
cording to the courts Of the
commonwealth and the nation,
pay the utmost penalty, death.
A mob gathered at the State
prison farm on Tuesday night
and demanded Frank, and APP
parently without any resistance,
took him from the prison and
carried him back within sight
of Mary Phagan's home and left
his body suspended and dang
ling from a tree. The news
flew like wild fire, and in a short
time thousands were at the
scene. The rope and tree that
held his body in suspension was
cut down and even the roots of
the tree were used for souvenirs.
1t is hard to thwart the supreme
will of the people, though JUS
tice is defeated.
