DEMANDS FAITH WITH EDUCA-
svsh TON.

Last June the Amsterdam Club of
New York adopted the following reso.
lutions:
Resolved, That education must no
longer be officially severed from
faith. We demand that it penetrate
to the vital-that it be made the key
to life. Our children are entitled to
the compass of Divine truth. We in
sist that they wear from the first
Gods colors. The atheist and the ag-
nostic shall not keep the bread of life
from our young. 'r' ..'.. -, .
1--WE commend ais entitled to the
highest praise the army of Jealous,
high-minded and competent teachers
throughout our city and state, who by
example and precept work untiringly
for the maintenance of high ideals.
They ask no praise and need no
eulogy. They are enshrined in the re-
spect, esteem and affection of an ap-
preciative public, but we demand the
passage of such laws, and, If neces-
sary, the adoption of such constitu-
tional amendments as will enable
them to provide for the children of
the state ethical and religious training
according to the religious convictions
of the parents of such children with
proper safeguards against attempts at
proselytism.
"Resolved, That the salvation of the
youth of the land is the paramount
and insistent issue. On it we are not
divided. Banishing contentious, still
ing controversies and harmonizing diff
ferences, we present an unbroken bat
tie line. The war is on. To arms!
o citizenship of America, dedicated tC
noble thought and splendid achieve
ment by the great and good who have
lived and gone. To arms. We heirs Of
faith and freedom. We summon by
bugle call the God-fearing manhood
and womanhood, the loving mother
hood and fatherhood of the Republic
Rout the forces which now sap tn,
spiritual vitality of the Nation. Re
build the home affairs. Reproclain
the old truths. Give to the CHILDHOOD

sense they are detached from the
world. They are put here for an i'm
portant purpose-that of being edu-
Gated. But education may degenerate
into a selfish process. Sometimes the
good things that they enjoy at the uni
versity become the enemy of the best
things. There canes neglect of the
spiritual life. 1t is easy for student
to lose his faith. Religion must es-
tablish it's sovereignty in your life.
If religion is to be sovereign
it means that you must cultivate it.
The religious problem is different
from the scientific problem; it is only
by practice of the spiritual point of
view that the appreciation OF the high
est living is achieved. Though we
need criticism and friendship in our
life as students, there is nothing that
we need more than religiOn-the
friendship of God. Marion l.. Bur-
ton, President University of Mime
sofa.

sity unless he is Christian, and

/ the best results in character and citi-
zenship, such schools (parochiaD are
valuable aid in solving the educa-
tional problem" Harlan l.. Fee

these that it's influence will be felt in
every circumstance OF life, and be
strengthened as the mind advances to
a fuller acquaintance with nature and
ripper experience with the realities
of human existence.
Fifth. An education that unites in
tellectual, moral and religious ele-
ments is the best training for citizen
ship. 1t inculcates sense of respon.
sibility, respect for authority and a
considerateness for the rights of
others which are the necessary foun-
dations of civic virtue-more neces-
sary where, as in democracy, the
citizen, enjoying larger freedom, has
greater obligation to govern him
self. We are convinced that, as re-
ligion and morality are essential to
right living and to the public welfare,
both should be included in the work
of education.
There is reason to believe that this
conviction is shared by a considerable
number of our fellow citizens who are
not of the Catholic faith. They real
ize that the omission of religious in
struction is a defect in education and
also detriment to religion But in
their view the home and the church
should give the needed training in
morality and religion, leaving the
school to provide only secular knowl.
edge. Experience, however, confirms
! uS in tho hoIiof that instead IF div;d
ed education among these several
agencies, each of them should, in its
own measure, contribute to the intel
lectual, moral and religious develop
ment of the child, and by this means
become helpful to all the rest.

SIX ELAINE CASES ARE

State Supreme Court Aifirms Sentence of the Six Elaine Cases: Must

' Little Rock, April 1.-(Speciai. The Supreme Court Monday afr ?lc six and rendered six of the cases of the negroes, wno ,',i been COT 7.c 1d of murder in connection with the Elaine riots, and sentenced to electro cution
 In six of the cases, the verdict was found defective. It declared the men guilty ''as charged in the indictment which charged all degrees of homicide, and it could not be held which de- grees the jurors had intended to find them guilty of. The cases are there fore remanded for news. trial. This was the only point at issue.
 In the other six cases, careful sur vey of the record failed to reveal any errors justifying reversal, and the l judgment was therefore affirmed.
 Gov. Brough was gratified by the action of the Supreme Sourt. He said that it was but another evidence of the fairness of the citizenship of Arkan- sas in dealing with the Elaine cases
 'The action of Arkansas throughout in dealing with the participants in the Elaine instruction, which cost scores lives and jeopardized thousands of dol- lars worth of property said Cover nor Brough, lis in striking contrast to the unwaranted refusal of Gov. Allen Of Kansas to honor a requisition for the return of Robert l.. Hill, who is universally recognized to have been one of the leading spirits in the whole damnable conspiracy to murder white Fcitizens and take possession of their property.

NEW BOSTON SWEPT
 S50,000 FIRE WEDNESDAY,
Much Property Damage and Several Injured in Fire at New Boston.
 Wednesday.

Texarkana, March 3I-Fire originat- ing in the Fuller Mercantile companys building at New Boston at o'clock last night, completely destroyed that structure and the State National Bank building, partially burned away the roof of the G. A. Post & Son store. and for time threatened the complete construction of the central part of the business section of the town. The cause of the blaze is unknown. When discovered, the Fuller building was enveloped ill flames which became out of control.
 Several were injured when struck by falling glass, and Joel McGee of Wichita Falls, sustained a severe shak- ing up when he fell to the ground from the top of the Woodman building. Dr. A. M. DeShong, proprietor of the New Boston Drug Company, was seriously injured when flying glass cut deep gash in his face and severed an artery in his neck. Though greatly weaken ed from loss of blood, he was re- covering today. Robert Eubanks sus- tained minor injuries.
 Estimates as to the individual dam age sustained today, are:
 Fuller Mercantile company's stock and building $3O.Oo0 with $2O,0OO in- surance. The building and stock was owned by the Bohres estate and Mrs. T. A. Fullea of Texarkana.
 The Stat National Bank, s25,ooO, with $55Oo It ss on the building, which was owned by w. M Boxman of New Boston, insurance $1,5OO.
 No estamate as to the loss sustained by G. A. Post & Son, whose store was on the left of the Fuller building, was announced today, but it is thought that damage to the water-soaked stock and charred roof will approximate at least $1O,O0O.
 A hurry-up call was made by New Boston for help from the Texarkana fire department, and Chief Springer, accompanied by six firemen of Station No. 1, made a wild ride to the scene of the fire. Upon arriving, however, so etficacious was the work of the New
