Votes, ReIIgIon and Wages.

North Platte, Neb., Jan. 18.-To
the Editor OF The Bee: In your
issue Of January is 1 see Mr..
Agnew advocates the franchisement
Of the negro and also Of whites who
have not that privilege. MY idea
Is that a man should be educated
to those privileges and then given
them as they are earned. In some
ways the negro has won many
prizes, both of education and adj
Vancement, as an American citizen,
particularly during the present war,
and he should be recognized and re-
warded as he is capable Of receive
ing.
And I would like to say in answer
to the writer who signs himself
"Paganus," there are many Cath
olics who are our best citizens and
who do wonderful work in the adj
vancement of our great United
States of America and we cannot
get along without them. Their
schools are fine, and be It under
stood that when they teach their
children they do it well, no matter
what is taught. I am not a Catho-
lie, but speak from experience of
associating with them in school and
business life. But here is the point,
1t seems to me: Don't combine the
affairs of church and state. It
won't work, because no two people
think alike, and, as in Christian
faith our Lord did not in any way
associate Himself with politics, so
let the Bible teaching be to itself,
and, as our constitution says-as
every mans heart dictates Except
such as is not Christian and for
Christ our Lord), We are a Chris
ton nation, and as such we must
stay, to prove to the world we are
founded ON the teachings OF the
Bible. Such were our best leaders,
Washington, Lincoln, Garfield, Nc
Kinley and our present far-seeing
president, Mr.. Wilson.
I am not speaking politically alone
or for the Christian faith alone.
Each has and must have it's place,
but keep them separate. And, Mr..
Workman" you voice my senti-
ments exactly as to the workingman.
II he is self-respecting and does a
full days work for the wage agreed
upon by the employer, he Is entitled
to any and every good thing. Our
country was won from q wilderness
to a condition not surpassed by any
other, and, by whom? The man
and woman who was brave enough
