"It Is amusing," says tha Wllkes
Barre Record, "to observe how tenderly
the esteemed Scranton Tribune coddles
the county of Quay, and with what
fiendish delight It kicks the stufllnf
out of Anthracite county." This Is cor
rect, with two exceptions. The Tribune
Is not "coddling" Quay county. Sec
ondly, there is no Anthracite county for
It to kick. By the way, where did the
Record stand on the new county ques
tion two years ago?
Much Ado About Nothing.
We are of the opinion that a greater
fuss is being made concerning the Smith
antl-religlous-garb bill than the merits
of the Issue warrant. Considered ab
stractly, and without bias either tow
ard or against any of the elements
which use this measure as a pretext
for rancorous conflict, the bill proposes
nothing more than an enactment, into
law, of the Intent of portions of the
constitution of Pennsylvania. Section
third of Art. I of that oft-neglected
Instrument says that "no preference
shall ever be given, by law, to any
religious establishments or modes of
worship." Again, section second of
Art. X declares that "no " money
raised for the support of the public
schools of the commonwealth shall be
aprpopriated to. or used for, the sup
port of any sectarian school." The
plain Intent of these two provisions, !t
hardly needs to be said, is to keep the
public schools free and open, upon
equal terms, to children of parents of
any religious faith or of no faith what
soever. There ought, then, not only
to be no discrimination, but also no
encouragement to discrimination for or
against any religious tenet among the
teachers employed by the common
wealth to Instruct its young.
The decision of the Pennsylvania su
preme court In the now celebrated Oal
lltzln school case laid down the prin
ciple that a local board of school direc
tors could under present laws, when so
minded, employ as teachers In the pub
lic schools persons wearing the dis
tinctive garb of a particular religious
sect or denomination. It Is a fact, wc
believe, that there have been only a
few Instances of the exercise of this
discretion by local boards of control,
and that In small communities where
the denominations thus favored "num
ber among their worshipers a large
majority of the entire population." It
would seem that these few Instances
ought not to be sufficient to set the
whole commonwealth topsy turvyj and
that the proposal of a bill like that
now In question ought not to be con
strued by any reasonable citizen as an
attack upon this or that religious body.
The mere fact that these consequences
have developed from so small a starting-point
to our mind adds emphasis to
the need of the more vigorous mani
festation, among all denominations, of
a liberal spirit.
But while It Is obviously for the pub
lic interest that there should be nothing
In the work of the public schools calcu
lated to Influence Impressionable chil
dren In their choice of religious alli
ances, and nothing having the appear
ance of giving a "preference to any
religious establishments or modes of
worship," It appears clear to us, from
our reading of section seven of Art.
Ill of the constitution of Pennsylva
nia that the Smith anti-garb bill falls
outside the pole of this commonwealth's
organio law. It would be an attempt
to "regulate the management of public
schools," a function. of which the leg
islature Is expressly deprived. The
whole subject, therefore, might well
be left to the adjudication of public
opinion, which is quite certain to In
ula.!; that the publlo schools shall not
be used for the purposes of religious
proselyting, by either Jew or Christian,
Infidel or agnostic.
The University of Pennsylvania of
fers a traveling scholarship worth
$1,000 and another worth 11,500 to tho
Pennsylvania architect under 30 years
of age who shall present the best de
sign, In Italian or French Renaissance,
for a savings bank. The winner of the
first scholarship may spend a year in
study and travel in Europe; and' the
winner of the second, eighteen months.
The detailed particular of the compe
tition may be hud upon Inquiry ad
dressed to the unlver.Mly olllclals.
There are at least three draughtsmen In
Scranton who ought to make It interest
ing for the winners of these prizes.
Democratic legislators at Ilarrlsburg
who dodged the compulsory education
bill may have their doubts us to
whether education of the musses would
be bennllclul to tho remnants of their
party.
"Mr. Farr's compulsory eduuatlon
bill went through the house with a
narrow margin," says the Wllkes-Hurre
Leader. Yea, very; the ilnal vote stood
134 to 13. .
No False Hope for Bigots I
The disposition of the secret organiza
tion called the American Protective
association to take an active part in
the enactment of legislation ut llarrU
burg renders It proper for those who
have the best Interests of the common
wealth at heart to make a few re
marks. These may be tersely con
centrated in the single word, "Don't!"
The American Protective association
Is one of those specimens of misdirected
energy which need to be resolutely dis
couraged. Professing to be American,
it is in reality grossly un-American,
since its cornerstone is bigotry, made
doubly dangerous by the shield of se
crecy and the mock semblunce of
patriotism. Assuming to work for free
dom, It goes to the Indefensible ex
treme of Intolerance, and uses Its high
pretence as a cover for the provoking
of most hurtful prejudices.
The American people, as a whole, are
given to frankness and fair dealing.
They have established a government
upon the open basis of complete civil
and religious liberty. They can defend
that government, should it be neces
sary, on the same bapls.
It will be a mistake If the American
Protective association Is accorded, at
Ilarrlsburg, the slightest consideration.
Its members, as Individual citizens,
have rights equal to those of other citi
zens; but they have not the moral
right to plot together, behind closed
doors, for the spread of religious strife;
and they should, as an organization, be
accorded no legal encouragement.
Let us extinguish this firebrand, be
fore It sets fire to tho publio welfare.
There Is a highly Interesting legend
current in Washington that Mr. Cleve
land, having demolished his own party
in two years, hopes within the next
two likewise to smash the Republicans,
and build up a third party on the com
bined ruins, with himself posing as its
patron saint. The probability is that
Jlr. Cleveland still takes himself too
seriously.
The Mulct Law of Iowa.
To understand the singular law en
acted In Iowa one year ngo, with a
view to regulating the traffic In intox
icating liquor, it Is necessary to remem
ber that after ten years of varying
experiment, prohibition In that com
monwealth was, in 1893, voted a failure
by tha people. Into a discussion of the
causes of that failure, apart from the
federal supreme court's original pack
age decision which made state law in
effective to prohibit the sale of In
toxicants shipped inlo the state by
Inter-state commerce, It Is not our pur
pose to enter. Prohibition fulled In
Iowa because public sentiment grew in
different to its success and perhaps
because the American populace Is by
nature restless and Inclined to fluctua
tion. It was replaced by what Is known
as the Martin mulct law, concerning
which we extract several lnt.-restjng
facts from an entertaining article by
Frank L. McVey in the March Social
Kconomlst.
Under the Martin law, each saloon Is
assessed JG00, half of which goes to the
county and half to the municipality in
which the saloon is located. Any city
or town can add without limit to this
assessment. All property, personal and
real, connected with the, saloon may be
seized for non-payment of this tnx. The
applicant for a privilege to sell liquors
must deposit $000 In ensh, and nn In
dorsed bond of JXOftO. lie must, if liv
ing In a town of 5,000 or more Inhabi
tants, present a potltlon signed by a
majority of voters; or If in a smaller
place, by 5 per cent, of the voting popu
lation. The cotisent of the property
owners fifty feet on both sides must be
obtained, and the saloon must not be
within 300 feet of a church or school
house. Having complied with these
conditions, the saloon may now be
opened; but It must have no side
amusements, no questionable pictures,
no screens and no chairs. The drinker
must stand while Insldn the place. Hun
day opening Is prohibited; but during
the week, tho door may be open from
6 a. m. to 10 p. m. If nny pnrent,
brother, sister, uncle, husband, wife,
guardian, word or employer gives
written notlco that liquor shall not bo
sold to a certain person, a vlulutlon
of this notice constitutes ground for
the cancelling of tho privilege of sale.
It Is the duty of the county attorney
to see that all tho'se provisions are en
forced; If he fall In this duty, he Is
suject to removal by order of the court..
It will be perceived that this luw com
bines within itself about everything In
the form of restrictive regulation save
outright prohibition; mid even the pro
hlbltlon statutes of 1,884 have never
been formally repealed. The Iowa spec
tacle Is one of nominal y.'ofilbltlon re
placed by a law legalizing the viola
tion of that prohibition under certain
severe conditions. Whether this anom
alous condition of aflalrs will stand a
test before the state suproifle court re
mains to be seen. The Martin law, up
to date, has, according to Mr, MoVey,
wrought considerable Improvement It
has driven the saloon druggists out of
business, destroyed the trade of the
"boot-legger," or individual who sold
surreptitious draughts from secreted
flasks, and ended the career of tho
formerly much-in-evUlence social club
with its well-stocked side board and
hilarious membership. But it Is a form
of restriction hardly likely to obtain
permanence as a compromise solution
to a question udmlttlng of a positive
unswer only.
Lum Smith, of Philadelphia, who haB
devoted his life to tilt work of turning
the Hcurch light upon frauds, is now ac
cused of being a fraud himself, and is
under heavy ball for an appearance ut
court. It looks as though Lum hud
accidentally struyed Into the rays of hltf
own calcium lump. . ..
It fortunately happens that the South
Dukot.v divorce bill, which passed the
senate, has been beaten In the house by
one vote. The bill proposes to make
three mouths' residence sufllclent for
purposes of easy divorce. It is a good
corpse to crow over.
Lancaster county farmers who are
protesting at the extravagance Involved
in the proposed creation of a state de
partment of agriculture are evidently
of the kind who cannot be blindfolded
by wool-pulling.
The departure of so many cliques and
elements that have Beceded from the
Kylghts of Labor has made It rather
difficult for the public to determine
"where the order Is at,"
The Boston minister who recently re
marked that "the republic Is a delusion,
freedom a dream, and the song of lib
erty a funeral dirge," evidently has a
choir in his church.
Wo do not believe that the Republican
party, as represented at Ilarrlsburg,
can afford to make the mistake of re
sisting needed amendments to ballot re
form. The frozen orange now becomes a
companion to canned corned beef as
the deadly poison basis for many a
lurid special dispatch.
Congress, to be sure, Is no more; but
the American people yet have a bad
taste in the mouth.
COMPULSORY KDUCATIOX.
Views Expressed Concerning a Measure
of Widespread Interest.
fn.i.,1. h h.Midiiif "Knart Compulsory

leading editorial says: "The senate ought

Superintendent Idwnrd Drunk.
Interviewed by the Philadelphia Inquir
er ns to the bill, Superintendent lirooks,
of that city said: "I um heurtlly In favor
of compulsory education. Tile time was
when such a thing was not necessary.
Years nKo, with the population wu then
hud, pnrents generally realised the vnluo
of education for their children nnd were
desirous of securing Its benellts for them,
but wMh the Inrfje Influx of foreigner),
many of them In elreiimMtnnecs In
which they enn miikn use of their chil
dren and old them In making a living,
there Is treat negligence noted In rcspct
to tho education nf children. If a census
were to be taken of the children of school
oki' hero 111 1'hlliidi Iphia who tire not In
school nnd whose education has been thor
oughly neglected I believe It would be a
very great surprise to our people. My ob
servation lends me to believe that tho
percenter; of children whoso education
lias tijcn neglected Is growing has been
growlns rapidly during tho lust ten or
fifteen yenrs not only hero In Philadel
phia, but In other largo cities. That the
evil Is a. growing ono Is attested by tho
fact that Intelligent men and women ell
over tho country are throwlnw) their Influ
ence for a compulsory systein of educa
tion. Tho sentiment of educutors on this
subject has changed during the punt
fifteen or twenty years. I myself, until
within a few yenrs, was opposed to the
principle of compulsory education, and
tho sumo view of iho matter wns held by
the majority of my educational friends.
Tho changed conditions of the country
have led most of us to change our minds
on this question end toduy leading edu
cators of this country are In favor nf
compelling parents and guardians to give
the children a common school educatluti."
Tho Altoona Gazette's Idea.
Every person who recognizes tho value
of oducutlon to Individual and state, nnd
tho corresponding Injury to both result
ing from tho refusal of parents to send
their children to school will receive with
satisfaction tho announcement of tho
passage in the house of representatives
of tho Farr compulsory education bill.
Tho only arguments urged against It are
that It cannot be enforced nnd that its
spirit Is In violation of the constitutional
idea of personal liberty, Neither Is worthy
of much consideration. There Is not a
law on tho statuto books that Is not vio
lated to some extent; and it would be
ridiculous to assort tliut tho Farr bill is
different from others In thut respect; but
we see no reason why It could nut be en
forced in a general degroo. Tho good re
sults in the Instances In which it Is en
forced will not be Impaired by the few
cases In which Its provisions are dlsro
gu.rdod. Tho 'personal liberty talk Is
shallow. Ho far as the Individual alone la
concerned, perhaps the stnto has no right
to dlotata whether ho shall bo Intelligent
or ignanant, Hut the fact that lack of
education la dangerous to tha welfare of
the publlo In general puts a different as
pect on the question, and brings It direct
ly within tha province of state enactment.
The fact that one-seventh of the children
of school age In Pennsylvania ore being
denied tho privilege of education ought to
bo sufficient to urge every sensible per
son to favor any plan that will got these
neglected llttlo ones Into Bchool."

Incorporation papers for the People's
palace huvo been forwarded to Spring
field. - Tho Incorporators are Ho v. John
Kuslt, William 1!. .Sloan nnd SCcno Keeney.
Tho People's palace will be located in the
business district on Madison street. This
will bo a soft drink emporium, smoking
rooms, Millard rooms, und, in fact, every
thing that goes to innke life enjoyuble to
the Imbiber of non-alcoholic drinks. Mr.
Sloan gave the following account of the
enterprise: "We are to be Incorporated
for JfiO.ouO. our palace will not bo prudish.
The only question on which wo split Is
touuueo. Tho clerical party said no to
bacco, but wo compromised on cigars. It
will be run as a llrst-cliiss cafe, a regular
free lunch layout, which tho waiters will
take to the lubles when ladles are to be
served. Wo uro In this business to tight
the saloons, lint wu will not truckle to
tho ultra prohibition onthusiusts. If a
man wants an Innocent drink that re
sembles the old stuff we will satisfy him
rather than have him go to the real saloon
down tho street."

From the Wllkes-llurre Itecord.
Tho sapient hoIoiih ut Ilarrlsburg de
feated the bill requiring sheriffs to publish
their proclamations in the newspapers.
The majority against it was small, but
cnotig-h to kill it for this session at least.
The sheriffs, as before, aro at liberty to
post their notices on barns und fences
and out-of-the-way places where tho peo
ple cannot sue them. In this way they
render tho law Inoperative and add to
their own gains. A few progressive olll
clals use the newspapers, but tho major
ity employ the antedeluvlun hand bills.
Tho only way to reach the people Is
through the newspapers, and tho ohicors,
who, for the sake of a few dollars, ignore
the press and keep the people In Ignorance,
do not deserve alio oltlces they hold.
A Genuine (ilsdstono Iintbiislust.
From the London New Ago.
Onco Mr. Uludstone had been cutting
down a tree In the presence of a large con
course of people, Including a number of
"cheap trippers." When the tree hud
fallen and the prime minister and soma
of his family who were with him were
moving away, there was a rush for tho
chips. One of tho trippers secured a big
piece and exclaimed: "Hey, luds, when I
dee this shall go In my collin!" Then
cried his wife, a shrewd, motherly old
woman, with a merry twinkle In her eye,
"Sam, my lad, if thou'd worship God ns
thou worships (iludstuno thou'd stand a
better cliunee of going where thy chip
wouldnu burn!"
