cently. The decision of the prcsl
dent ia that teachers now employed
in Indian schools may continue to
-wear the garb of their religious
orders; hut the privilege is dened to
any persons hereafter entering the
service.- This ruling will enable the
government to fulfill its obligations,
tho president says, to the teachers
who were taken into tho government
service when religious schools were
taken over bodily as government in
stitutions. The president's ruling is the final
step in a controversy that has en
gaged the interior department with
religious bodies more thun a year.
Commissioner Valentine's order
would have prohibited any teachers
from wearing relgious garb in the
Indian schools after the end of the
last school year.
President Taft's order, and a let
ter from Secretary Fisher to Mr.
Valentine, which accompanies it, lay
stress on the fact that Commissioner
Valentine issued his ruling without
consulting the secretary or the presi
dent; and while h entire subject
was under investigation. Mr. Fisher's
revocation of the order now is made
final.
Secretary Fisher's formal letter
states that the government had long
left the education of the Indians .to
religious missionaries; and that
when it finally began a systematic
handling of the educational problem,

affected parts of the air passages of

reach all the affected parts.
If you have catarrh of the nose,

it took over many of tho religious
schools, and brought their teachers
auiaj mw suvuniuiuui ciassiucu ser
vice. "Tho transfers thus have often
been effected by tho government's
renting denominational schools and
taking over the whole plant and the
toachers as well," said President
Taft.
"It appearsihat out of 2,000 teach
ers in the Indian schools there are
fifty-one who wear a religious garb
and who are regularly classified
members of tho government civil
service. To direct them to give up
their religious garb would neces
sarily cause their leaving the Bervlco
because of their vows under which
they have assumed the garb."
A Braintree, Mass., dispatch, car
ried by the Associated Press says:
"No religion is or should be involved
in this matter," said former Indian
Commissioner Robert Q. Valentine
when informed that President Taft
had upheld Secretary Fisher's action
In revoking the order of Mr. Valen
tine barring religious garb or In
signa from government Tndan
schools. In a statement the former
commissioner said:
"The schools to which my religious
garb order applies are not private
schools. They are public schools.
Nothing should bo allowed in them
which would not bo allowed In any
public school in tho country. This
principle the president and Secretary
of the Interior Fisher now uphold in
their order. They say that on this
ground they will forbid the extension
of tho practice of wearing religious
garb in public schools.
"In tho next breath they say they
will permit those fifty-one teachers
who now wear garb in Indian Bfehools
to continue the practice.
"No religious question is or should
be involved in this matter. I isstfed
my order without referring It to my
superiors because I "was within my
rights In doing so and Because i
wished to save my superiors from
any possible political embarrassment
by keeping the decision of the ques
tion a non-political admnstratlon
bureau of the government.
''My conduct of the Indan bureau
included full recognition of the as
sistance of the Catholic church and
of all the other religious denomina
tions on Indian reservations and L
expect and have every reason to be
lieve that Catholics will join with all
American citizens in support of an
administration of the Indian bureau
which endeavored to fulfill its legal
obligations to all the people."
such an event, and in the light of the
results which havo been achieved wo
aro no less sure that his solo pur
poso has been to proserve the integ
rity of the party. For whatever haz
ards ho took, he has been completely
vindicated by what ho has accomp
lished. We say this as one of the
many who doubted tho wisdom of his
course; and rejoicing in the strength
of the battle array wo cheerfully bear
testimony that it was Mr. Bryan who
saved the situation when it seemed
to havo been hopelessly lost. Wo do
not bcllevo that any more remarkable
political fight has over been waged
to success than that in which the No
braskan hurled himself, undaunted
by tho Confidence of his opponents
and undotorrcd by the doubts and
misgivings of his frionds and advis
ers. Mr. Bryan is very human and
it must be a severe disappointment
that, after all the years during which
he has borne tho heat and burden of
tho fray, ho could not himself have
carried the standard of his party to
tho victory which appears so certain;
but we venture the opinion that his
placo In history will be larger be
cause of this crowning achievement
of his nolablo career than of many
presidents.
Til E 'PHONE AND THE HYMN
An admiring parishioner of a

clergyman's house, says Lipplncott's.
Tho good man was delighted with tho
convenience, and used It Immediately
before going to church.
When tho time camo for him to
announce the first hymn, ho read the
first lines with bis usual imprcaslve

"Lot us all unite in hymn seven o

MB. BRYAN'S FART AT BALTI
MORE Editorial in Charleston (8. C.)
News and Courier: We have fre
quently labored under the necessity
of speaking in criticism of William
Jennings Bryan. We wish now to
pay tribute to the work done by him
at Baltimore. With his methods Tve
have not always found ourselves in
sympathy, and we still think that the
situation with which tho party as
confronted at Baltimore might have
been prevented. Nevertheless, it is
our opinion that tho party is going
into battle occupying stronger ground
than for half a century, and it is to
Mr. Bryan that the credit for this
condition must in large measure be
awarded. There is the amplest
reason for believing that the same In
terests which have long been in con
trol of the republican party had
planned to take charge of the Balti
more convention and to dictate the
nomination. It was William Jen
nings Bryan who smashed their
plans We do not know whether or
not Mr. Bryan went to Baltimore ex
pecting that he would himself bo
nominated. We are sure that after
the opening day he had no hopo of
