Rer. J. X. Hummon of Kountso Memorial
church preachM Sunday morning on the
question. "Could Omaha Be Improved?"
HI text ira.ii, "Tnke away the dross from
tha allver and the flneet reinalna; and tako
away tha wloked from the kingdom and
Ills throne mill be established In righteous
ness. "Tha topic Involves the Ma In Itself that
Omaha. I good. Many discoveries are now
being made In public affairs of evils and
Iniquities In high r'ses. Men are being
brought to Justice who have held positions
of great trust until now they are old. This
causes WS to stop and think, and from this
com, forth the fact that it Is all caused
by violation of. laws, lawlessness reigns
now and has for some time.
"Many public officials, not true to official
obligations, give as an excuse a want of
publlo Opinion to support them. They claim
they roust have public sentiment to back
them before they can enforce the laws.
This theory has been exploded by Weaver
In Phllsflelphla, Jerome In New Yoifc, John
on In Minnesota, LaFolletta of Wisconsin,
Folk of MlHsouri and Roosev lt of the whole
country. These men have the public with
them now. but they did not wait for pub
lic sentiment before striking the blows for
right, rather they created a public eentl
ment. These are the kind of men Omaha
needs today in Its executive offices, men
who will ace that the lawa and ordinancea
re enforced to tho very letter or else let
the people of Omaha stir up a sentiment
which will compel tliene officials to en
force tha laws and ordinances.
. Set Exceptionally Bad.
"I do not believe that Omaha Is an ex
ceptionally bad city. On the other hand, I
lo know therd Is plenty of good within Us
borders, although there Is that which de
tracts from its growth and retards its
progress.
"Omaha 'is good, but could be better. Pre
vailing lawlessness does exist In the city.
There is a weaknesa in the execution of the
laws rather than a weakness in the laws
themselves. Nearly every Sunday afternoon
I see 100 to 2rt0 boys lined up waiting for
tho gallery Of the theaters to open, where
they will see and hear sensational plays
which stimulates and hawtens their ruin. I
see members of the various churches going
to playhouses on Sunday. 1 see saloons, the
blight of American manhood, running wide
open In violation cf the law. I am Informed
that houses are open In this city where
young girls are enticed. I am Informed
that Rumbling games are run right under
the nose of the police officers.
"More could be told but this should be
enough to arouse the earnest attention of
every citizen of Omaha to throw himself
ii!n the altar to cleanse the city of the
Fins which are blighting its life. I am In
full sympathy with any movement which
h is for Its object the cleaning up of things,
whether In church or city life.
"Iy sympathies are with the man In pub
lic office, but when that official has shown
himself unworthy I withdraw my sympathy.
Our government is the best In the world
nnd our laws have stood the test of time.
All citizens of Omaha should be In favor of
a strict enforcement of the laws. Omaha
may have such men as Folk within Its bord
ers, but I do not believe they occupy the
executive offices. I"t us be ready tor the
fight at tho next municipal .election."

Rev. A.

Ilia Work Was for Mankind la Its
Pnlleat grvaae.
"The Assets of Jesus Christ," with the
fifth verse of the thirteenth chapter of
Matthew as a basis for his sermon, formed
the theme of Rev. h. O. Baird at St. Mary's
Avenue Congregational church Sunday
morning. Rev. Halrd likened tho work of
I ho Saviour to the life work of a business
man in any walk of life, and sought toTThow
that Christ's greatest asset was the saved
man. He said in part:
Jesus Christ risked all In a single ven
ture. He wrote no books: He established no
priest hood ; Hp accumulated no wealth: His
only assets were saved men. In view of the
lack of all material resources His declaru
tlon that He was to establish a kingdom
seemed al).surd. Bui Jesus knew the moral
power of a saved innn. These men He took
from the country. The country stifiplles the
lire blood of the city as well aa Its butter.

every land r'xes highest In the farming dis
tricts. A country's safeguard Is not In Its
Institutions, but In Its men. The Reforma

Luther; America was not discovered by a
geographical society, but by Columbus: the
church was not founded by an ecclesiastical
convention, but by Jesus. "
Christianity Is not s"Usonlng, but salva
. C. Clarke 'peaks Against
Intolerance.
Rev. A. S. C. Clarke of the Lowe Avenu!
Presbyterian church Sunday morning
preached on the subject of "Rcllgloua In
tolerance," taking as his text Luke Ix.lP,
"And John answered and said, 'Master, wo
saw one casting out devils in Thy name;
and we forbid him, because he followeth
not with us."
In part Mr. Clarke said:
"Quite a little future has been started In
our city and throughout tho country by the
action of Bishop Scannell In excommur.lcu
ting all members of that communion who
attended the marriage of one of our prom
inent citizens recently. In this action the
bishop has been upheld by his superior,
Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee, who in
a letter in the public press says, among
other things. 'It is about time to call a halt
regarding the Indiscriminate attendance of
Roman Catholics at Protestant religious
services." Again he says, 'I am of the opin
ion that intolerance, essentially inherent In
religious truth and divine law, natural or
revealed. Is fully compatible with the widest
and most cordial tolerance In social Inter
course.' He also speaks of the 'moral
sense" of a Catholic, teaching him the 'In
congruity and Impropriety, or even, as the
case may be, sinfulness of attending cer
tain sectarian services.'
"True, the good archbishop disclaims nny
intention of Inaugurating an era of in
tolerance. But what Is religious intoler
ance if not this very excluslveness among
men who profess one faith common In its
great fundamentals?
"Nothing has wrought more havoc in the
world than this very thing or relislous In
tolerance. No blacker pages are found In
hiptory than those that record the turning
loose of this spirit with its consequences. It
has deluged Europe with blood. H pro
duced a Torquemada and the Inquisition, a
Laud, starchamber and Claverhnuse. It in
spired both Calvin and Cotton Mather. It Is
that spirit that says, 'We are the people and
wisdom will perish with, us.' It Is the same
spirit of excluslveness and pride that leads
the Mohammedan to call the Christian a
dog and the Chinese to call the foreigner a
devil. It is confined to no race, cllrte, nor
type of thought. Protestant has been as
guilty of It as Calhollc. It Is Justified on
the ground of devotion to principle, but its
heart is supreme egotism. It appears time
and again in tho Bible record. 'The Jews
have no deullngs with the Samaritans'
showed Its fervor. Our text shows how en
shrined It lay in the heart of John. Peter's
vision and visit to Cornelius shows how
hard It Is to eradicate. Thank God the day
of compulsion by physical methods has
passed. With a great treasure of blood our
fathers purchased for us the blessing of re
ligious freedom. But the same spirit that
once showed Itself In persecution still mani
fests Itself in excluslveness or Intolerance.
It seeks to build Its ecclesiastical fences so
high that there may be no looking over
them. It arrogates to itself special func
tions and privileges. It elevates these
things Into the sine qua non of correct
Christianity. It confuses the ideas of re
ligion and religiosity. It gives ecclesiastic
Ism the pre-eminence over piety. Christ
rang the death knell of excluslvlsm and
correct form when Hp told the Samaritan
woman that it was Immaterial where or
how any one worshiped provided It was 'In
spirit and in truth.' Surely we ought at
this late day of the world to have reached
a broad basis of toleration that would allow
Christians of all names to fraternise and
commingle both In social and religious life.
One of the early Fathers laid down the
correct principle of comity in the phrase.
'In essentials unity! in non-essentials lib
erty; in all things charity.'
'It Is only In these ways that the middle
wall of partition ran be broken down and
the day hastened when 'they all may be
one. "
tlnd with Man. Religion means a binding
back to God
People have philosophised to rooimt for
God and afterward have come to the con
clusion that there is no God because they
cannot understand Him. We have to be
lieve many things which we cannot under
stand. We do not understand how breath
ing Invigorates the blood, yet we know It
doea. We live by faith right along be
cause we know by experience that certain
things are ao, and we don't need to under
stand the reason. If we limit our faith to
the things we understand, we will have
hardly anything left to believe in. If we
receive these material beliefs In this way
we should also receive God In the same
manner. God Is. The Bible never under
takes to prove that Ood Is. There is a con
stant assumption of fact that God Is. It
Is said that there is no honest disbeliever.
Man is. There are schools of scientists
which teach that man Isn't. That he la an
imagination, but how could there be Imagi
nation without man. We are surrounded
by so many materlaj things which are be
yond our comprehension that we should not
be so skeptical In spiritual matters. The
Bible says that we are created by Ood
and I do not believe that any scientist
will discover any other origin of life ex
cept God. Man needs God and God de
sires man. Can man and God be brought
together? Has God come Into your life?
lo you feel as If Ood communes with you
and if not you should cultivate communion
with God.

ZIEGLER ON THE COMMON LAW
Paper Followed by Interesting; Dis
cussion Before the Philo

Isldor Ziegler - spoke before the Philo
sophical society Sunday afternoon on "The
Common Law." Many attorneys were pres
ent and engaged in the general discussion
that followed the reading of the paper.
Mr. Ziegler said:
"The common law Is,' In una sense, an
unwritten law. Its rules have been handed
down by tradition, sometimes in a com
plete and definite shape, Buch as the law
of primogeniture,' the Jurisdiction of ths
courts; sometimes as a mere spirit or ten
dency, according to which, in novel cases,
as they may arise, the law is to be ex
pounded. Thus, the law merchant Is chiefly

Transfer Ordinance In Effect.
The ordinance regulating street car fares
and compelling the issuance of transfers
from one line to any connecting line or
adjacent line within the city of South
Omaha Is now in UTect. A refusal on the
part of conduct oi s to grant transfers when
asked for them by. patrons of tho street
car lines renders the street car company
subject to a tine of $50 to tXO and the same
can be recovered in an action brought In
the name of the state or Nebraska by the
city attorney for the use and benefit of the
school . fund of the school district of the
city of South Omaha. It is alleged by
numerous passengers that the street car
company and Its conductors have persist
ently refused to grant transfers to and
from the Missouri uvenue line in direct vio
lation of the ordinance, which was passed
and approved July S, 1!5. The usual rules,
however, apply In the matter of the limits
of transfers, which provide that they must
be used within thirty minutes after Issu
ance at the point or place for which the
transfer was Issued.

SIPER.VATIRAL FIRM IX RELIGION
First Congregational Pastor flays Ra-
tloaallam Mast Go Only So Far.
Preceding the sermon proper at the First
Congregational church Sunday morning Dr.
Herring delivered a brief homily to ths
children on "Weary Not in Well Doing."
He cautioned them that God expects them
to weary quickly of wrong-doing, but that
in all good works they must begin well,
continue well and end well; but they must
never grow weary.
As the text for his sermon on "The In
visible," Dr. Herring quoted from the Book
of Hebrews, relative to Moses: "He en
dured as seeing Him who is invisible." He
said In part:
"This old Bible will not let us forget that
this world is a place for trouble, for burden
bearing, for sorrow; we must all endure ! a" oI th world
veloped no later than the last century.
Therefore, In such cases, the common law,
though accounted traditional, la expanded
by the Judges who declare it.
"As the common law has never been for
mally enacted, nor has yet been reduced
to a regular code. It Is to be sought for
In the treatises of Institutional writers,
nd in the decisions of the courts of law.
These last are of the highest authority, and
where they are consistent, they are taken
as Irrevocably establishing the law. But
being declarator merely, and not Impera
tive, a single Judgment of a court is not
held conclusive upon courts of equal Juris
diction, though It Is commonly accepted as
binding by Inferior courts."
Mr. Ziegler, In discussing the question
whether Christianity is part of the com
mon law of this state, said:
"We have, however, the high authority
of Iord Mansfield and of his successor.
Lord Campbell (Campbell's Lives of Chief
Justices, Vol. 3, p. 513), for stating as its
true and only sense, that the law will not
permit the essential truths of revealed re
ligion to be ridiculed and reviled. In other
words, that blasphemy is an indictable of
fense at common law. The truth of the
maxim in this -ery partial and limited
sense may be admitted. But If we attempt
to extend Its application, wc shall And our
selves obi'ged to confess that It is un
meaning or untrue.
That Christianity Is not a part of the
common law in the Vnlted States see Board
of Education against Minor, 23 Ohio 8t, 211,
246, 13 Am. Rep. 233, where It Is said by
Judge Welch: 'We nre told that thia word
"religion" must mean "Christian religion,"
because "Christianity is a part of the com
mon law of this country," lying behind
and above its constitutions. Those who
make this assertion can hardly be serious,
and intend the real import of their lan
guage. If Christianity Is a law of the
state, like every other law, it must have
a sanction. Adequate penalties must be
provided to enforce obedience to all its re
quirements and precepts. No one seriously

for them to market their product until

dute things, and they ore sometimes try

not always pleasant.
"The religion wo hold Is supernatural In
Its essence. We must realize that In all
the affairs of life; otherwise we would soon
reach the point where faith would be a
vanishing quantity. This is the age of
science; the humor of Investigation is upon
us; people are Infected with the rationalist
spirit. This has been a valuable asset of
our times, In the tearing down of supersti
tion and bigotry. We can rejoice in that,
but we must remember that the function of
rationalism is limited. We cannot see tin
disappearance of the religion of Jesus
Christ from the earth. Many things are and
always will be beyond our comprehension,
yet we can believe and take firm hold of
them. The declarations of the Apostles'
creed carry us Into the realms of the un
known, defying all laws known to us. The
upward night of penitent prayer is an
swered by the downward flash of divlns
forgiveness. Religion leads us at every
step of the way beyond what our reason or
experience understands. We must be gov
erned by one criterion, find out what if
right; but In doing this we cannot leave out
the supernatural. It Is marked all along
its way by manifestations of Ood and to
appreciate It at its true value we must
have that power in our lives which gives
us a clear conviction of the unseen things,
the vivid realisation which enables us to
see Ood. x Visions of faith are needed to
make known to us the unseen world. We
must turn Our eyes by faith in the direction
In which Ood is to be found."

always warm in winter and cool in summer. There are
not very many offices vacant at the present time in
The Bee Building
Among them, however, are some very choice small
offices, which rent from $10 to $18. This price in
cludes electric light, heat, water and janitor service
and the advantage of being in an absolutely fire proof
building. If you want a comfortable office, 6ee us
