A source nf pride and satMacMon to the t-eople and pluidld testimonial to the public school system of the stale Is the fart that for years Nebraska has had within It borders the lowest pTCf-ntae of Illiteracy of any state In the union. Today the public schools of Nebraska are endowed to the amount of more thin Konf'.i"0 and re the leaders and their tun are copied and commended throughout the land. When the constitution was framed In ITS It provided for the foundation of th- , permanent school fund. A permaneut School fund was created to remain In- i Violate, the Interest only to be used for School purposes. This fund was created by the sale or lease of sections 16 and 13 In each township In the state. The schools war to be maintained by the Interest from this fund, from the Interest on warrants, county bonds and school district bonds, certain fees and licenses and the state school tax . of 1H mills or less upon the dollar of all taxable property In the state. Local districts may tax themselves not to exceed 2S mills on the dollar assessed valuation. All fines, penalties and li cense moneys are appropriated exclusively to the use and support of the districts in which the money accrued. ' The constitu tion provides also that free instruction shall be given every person in the state between the apes cf S and 21 years. Carry Ins; out this provision, fre text books are furnished In every district in the state. Growth of Hlfth Schools. School management is confined to the several districts which elect their own di rectors, who have control of the schools. When a district has 150 children of school aee it baa the authority to organise a high school and give free to the children a year's work in the high school In addition to the eight grades provided for In the common school. The high schools ore be coming more numerous each year and ac cording to the latest statistics compiled In the office of State Superintendent McBrien there axe eighty-five lllages which main tain a high achool course of one year; 175 villages with a high school courBe of two years; 101 villages with a three-year high school course, and eighty-four villages, towns and cities which maintain the four year high school course. At the head of the high school system of course is the university, with its over 200 instructors and 2.BCKI students. The state legislature has been liberal with this institution and It was given by the last legislature altogether with the 1-mill levy on all state property nearly tl.uoo.OJO for the blenmum. Food Mcadtly Growing. The permanent school fund is increasing year by year and now it is valued at al most I7.0U0,U00 in round numbers. This sum cannot bo legally diminished, but it must grow constantly in proportion to the invest ments made by the Board of Educational Lands and Funds. Some of it is invested in bonds of other states, including those of Massachusetts and Idaho, while some of it la stiU ia the land which was originally turned over to the fund by the government. As this land becomes more valuable of course the fund Increases. Besides the money raised locally by tax ation and fins to maintain the various schools, there is distributed by the state treasurer semi-annually the interest on this Investment and the money derived from the lease of school lands. During the months of May and December of the last year there was apportioned to the various school districts a total of li&I, ftsl.17. This money is used exclusively in maintaining and supporting the common and high schools and not a cent of It goes to toe State university or the State Normal schools, separate appropriations being made for these institutions by the various legis latures. The total Income of all the school dis tricts of the state, according to the latest figures compiled by State Superintendent McBrien for the year 1904, was rS,3fl.3i3. Of this sum $4,890,198 was spent Of the amount expended IJTl.tli; was for the con struction of school buildings, and this prac tically represents the amount of school district bonds issued during that year. During the same time bonds to the amount of tll,0Cl were cancelled. Throughout the entire state at the time Mr. McBrien made his compilation school districts were bonded to the amount of $2,730,538, while the in di btedness of the districts not bonded amounted to $SM.7. The total value cf all the achool district property In the state amounted to $10,919,921. Districts aad School Cklldrea. At this time there are C6C7 school districts In the state. When the figures are com piled for the current year they will show a marked decrease in this number because Superintendent McBrien is preaching con solidation of districts. His predecessor. Superintendent Fowler, preached the same They Stand Alone.

After all that science has accomplished, why should a dentist inflict pain when the doctor and ths surgeon avoid It? Years ago 1 made up my mind that much of the pain In dental worK was unnecessary. I believed that If medical science could relieve every other part of the body from pain, dental science should be able to abolish It In the teeth. I have demonstrated that this can be done. la my office it Is dona. I could not say enough about my method of painless dental operating without being suspected of ex aggeration.

They both believed the districts with only a few pupils should be consoli dated, snd if necessary there should be furnished conveyances to get the children to the schoolhouses. During the year 1904 2W).(X boys and girls were enrolled In the public schools, and to teach them required the employment of ft.7'0 teachers. Including 8.250 in the graded schools. The rapid disappearance of the sod schoolhouse, which was built by the hardy pioneer, but which cannot fill the present day needs, marks the progress of educa tion In Nebraska. Fifteen years ago IW0 of these buildings were found In the state, and at the present time but about SO are used. They have given away to brick and frame buildings and within a very few years none will be left. With the passinc of the sod schoolhnuse the male school teacher Is eolng also. In the last four years the number of male teachers ha decrease S3 per pent, while the salary paid has In created 2 per cent.

RELIGION MADE UP TO DAT' Varloas Breads of Publicity aad Float Tells la Yosae la the West. A Denver correspondent reports a great uplift of religious fervor In that city and throughout Colorado and adjacent states due to up-to-date advertising methods and soul-stirring yells. Not only are the chuiches doirg more advertising than ever before, but there is keen rivalry in the wording of the advertisements. This activity dstes from last spring, when Rev. Billy Sunday, the ex-ball player evan gelist, held meetings In the Colorado gold camps. He caused ell the county seat towns in the neighborhood of the places where he conducted revivals to be pla carded, and families drove for miles and traveled across the mountains to hear his sermons. Surday Introduced what to Colorado was an Innovation, In the form of "stickers." bearing the legend. "Get Right with God." These were pasted on sidewalks, on lamp posta, on the windows of street cars In every place where they would attract at tention. One religious campaigner slipped into a fashionable hotel at Colorado Springs one night and pasted a "sticker" on the bands of all the hats he could find while the owners were at dinner. The spirit of rivalry has spread to he Sunday schools, and school cries have been adopted by the children. When parties of pupils from different Sunday schools meet they give voice to their cheers with all the enthusiasm of students of rival colleges. This cheer has been adopted by a society of youthful temperance workers In one of the Presbyterian churches. Come, come. Come, come, come. Come Join the forces flghUng rum; A cup of cold water is lietter far Then all the poison upon the bar. Come Join our band. The white ribbon wear. And help spread the gospel Ev-ery-where. A Congregational Sunday school, whoss pupils have made a special study of the Eeatttudes, frequently reminds the com munity of its existence by perpetrating this cry: Oh my goodness, sakea alive, Matthew's gospel, chapter five, Tells how blessings we mav win. How to rid our hearts of sin. If we're lowly, pure and meek. . We may gain the boon we seek. Food, when hungry; thirsty, drink. Comfort, when on sorrow's brink. Brother, find thy key to Heaven By reading verses one to eleven. This yell, which occasionally breaks the Sabbath stillness at Cripple Creek, Is an outgrowth of the Billy Sunday revival: C-r-l-p-p-l-e C-r-e-e-k. All the gold In all our mines Covil not buy the way To H e Heaven that's our home. Where we're bound to go, C-r-l-p-p-l-e Creek. Col-o-rad-o. But Colorado by no means marks th-s western limit to the territory in which this religious enthusiasm is rampant, at this cry arising from the Utah capital testifies: Who. who, whn are we? We re the Methodists of Salt Lake C. ' Are we MjrmonsT No-sir-ee. M -e-i-h-o-d-l-s-t. Either the orlglnutors of the foregoing verse sere guilty of plagiarism or else the offense may be charged against the authors of the following Jingle: Who. who, hi are we? We're the M-rrr Workers of Salt Lake C. Ttah for Christ." That s the hnnner we wave; We're banded together Our dear suite to save. The metropolis of Washington state comes to the front with this effort: We're Sunday school scholars of Seattle, Against all sin we're waging battle. Come to the Lord and seek solvation. Freed' m gain from tribulation. If you know the way. If you'd learn the rule. Come to the Baptist Sunday school. Tbe Sunday school of the Topeka church of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, author of "In His Steps." boasts of the following: Topeka, Topeka, Central church. Topeka. We're Wnging war for prohibition. To stamp out sin and crime's our mission, When we have won we'll shout Eureka, Hurrah for Central church, Topeka, JastlSed. The regular resoluUons of contempt for Reed Kmoot and G rover Cleveland having been passed, the woman's convention came to order. "I move," said the first who got the floor, "that Mra. BJones take the chair." "I decline!" cried Mrs. BJonea. "Will ths lady state her reasons for re futing?" "It is impossible. I am wearing a blue hst and the chair Is upholstered in green plush." . Her obWtiona being voted perfectly reasonable, another tbaraber was seated, Cievwlaod toader. SENATE'S FIGHT FOR LIFE Plan for Election of Member by Direct Vote Widely Supported. CONVENTION TO AMEND CONSTITUTION Majority Vote af Thirty-roar Stales Repaired Ossssesti af the Saaare Deal Distasted hy the Stormy Porteats. Opponents of the president's "square deal" policy In the United States senate are not as complacently Indifferent to pub lic sentiment as they have been In former years. Political signs of the times are disquieting, and the reasons therefor are clearly pointed out by an observant corre spondent of tbe Boston Transcript, a veteran of the Washington corps. In part, he writes: "No one can disguise the wave of 're form' or of 'radicalism,' according to the individual's point of view, which Is now sweeping over the country. What does It nil mean? Where is It going to stop J. Frank Hanly, the alert young governor of Indiana, who Is In line with this western movement with the republican party. Is oday in Washington for the purpose of onferrlng with the congressmen from that state In reference to a special session of the legislnture, ostensibly to make It pos ;ble to remove a lalthless state official; ut when the lawmakers getTo Indianapolis .he governor will propose the passage of i law fixing steam railroad passenger fares it 2 cents a mile, like that which has Just ,assed the Ohio lower house with only a single dissenting voice and is scheduled to go through the Ohio senate. To the thickly peopled east, with its mileage books sold on liberal terms, this does not seem a radical Innovation; but It means a great change in passenger fares in the west. And tbe governor has other proposals of the same sort to make to the legislature of Indiana. "But the most radical cry of all comes out of Iowa where Governor Cummins' recog nized lieutenant in the legislature. Senator Lewis, has introduced resolutions, which will probably pass, inviting other states to send delegates to a convention to be held at Des Moines next summer, for tbe purpose of setting into motion the necessary ma chinery for amending the constitution of the United States, through a convention. This method, provided by the constitution, has never yet been utilised. Ail amend ments thus far have been put into force by securing the .two-thirds majority In both houses of congress, followed by the ratifi cation in the legislatures of three fourths of the states. But the constitution also provides. It will be recalled, that on appli cation of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states, congress shall call a convention for proposing amendments. These shall go Into force when ratified by the legis latures of three fourths of the states. . Maadatory Call. "This system, it will be observed, 'cuts the senate out' In the process of amend ment A majority vote In thirty legisla tures would call the convention. Congress would have no alternative in the matter but to Issue tbe call. The amendment would then need the support of the ma jority vote in thirty-four legislatures. Only one amendment is now proposed. Tbe Des Moines convenUon will be called for a single purpose, and that Is to change the constitutional method of electing United States senators. Six or eight years ago Senator Chandler like most New England ers a vigorous opponent of the popular elec tion of senators discovered that twenty two states had through their legislatures expressed their desire for this change. Somewhat alarmed, he called In his news paper friends, asking them to bring to pub lic attention the proportions which this movement was taking snd the liability that, through the convention method of amend ment, the trick would be turned' much quicker than people had been led to sup pose. "The subject gains new Importance now from the relation of the proposed change to the railroad controversy. To the extent that the senate plays a conservative part, it will lend support to the view that It Is out of touch with the public demand, and responsive chiefly to the great moneyed interests which are supposedly potent In the average western legislature. The two Issues dovetail into each other like slavery and secession. The advocates of railroad rate regulatlos, of anti-trust legislation, and In general of that class of measures which the senate habitually prefers to stifle, are always 'out after the senate.' They think that body takes the view It does on public questions because It Is constituted as it is, and they want to amend the con stitution so that It will he a differently constituted body.

"It will net da te dismiss this constitu tional amendment pmjetct ss necessarily oi t cf the reach of success. All It requires, aside from good management of prelimi naries, is a majority vote eventually in tbe legislatures of thirty-four states. The ques tion would be sent to the legislatures, which would have to say "yes" or "no"; this makes acceptance an easier process than though tbe burden cf initiation and secur ing attention fell upon the proponents of the change- Where will the thirty-four legislatures to vote affirmatively on this question come from? The entire south be lieves In the direct election of senators, and Is practising that system today. The demo cratic party favors It; there would not be a score of democratic votes against It In all the legislatures of the country. If past ex perience counts. The house of representa tives has repeatedly approved the project by overwhelming majorities. A republican house not many years ago showed only twelve votes against it. "In addition to ths democrats there would be all the radical republicans of th LaFol- lette-Cummlns stripe throughout the coun try. This would Include the republicans who were dissatisfied with what the senate hud done In reference to President Roose velt's legislative program. The greater thetr disappointment the greater would be the strength of this Issue. It is possible that the conservative Interests of the country, realizing what they owe to the conser vatism of a senate chosen by state legisla tures, would rally In such an emergency and make an effective educational cam paign to defeat the amendment. This could doubtless be done in more than eleven legislatures. If the conservative foroes are willing to work hard enough, and would subscribe liberally to ths cause. But if the subject came up for decision In the present state of the pjblic mind, there would be a large chance of the adoption of the amendment through the convention prooess. "These are straws which show how the wind of 'radicalism,' of "reform,' or what may be more accurately stated as anti capltallstic feeling,' Is blowing." BUILDS A BONDLESS RAILROAD Senator Clark's Achievement a Strik ing Ceatrast te Prevailing High Finance. St. Louis capitalists have assisted United Slates Senator W. A. Clark of Montana to accomplish the seemingly impossible In railroad finance. Senator Clark completed the San Pedro road at a cost of Sj,KKi,000 without selling a bond, and he proposes that none of the company's securities shall be offered for sale in less than two years. In view of the sensational developments In the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton tran sactions, giving intimation as to railroad high finance, financiers look with interest upon the fact that a member of the United States senate has furnished an example of more conservative methods in organizing and managing railroad properties. The ag gregate of (40,000,000 which has been applied to building and equipping the San Pedro, Los Angeles A Salt Lake road has come from the members of Senator Clark's syn dicate. St. Louis financiers have invested about $2,000,000 In the enterprise. They say that It has not been easy to conform with Sen ator Clark's policy, which required them to meet his calls for funds promptly and in legal tender. The senator gave notice In advance of the amounts which would be needed at specified dates for certain work, and when tbe assessments were duly an nounced, he expected and got ready re sponses. Senator Clark's own Income is estimated at 12,000.000 to $3,000,000 a month, and, ef course, he met the financial de mands Just as his associates did. The railroad which was built without the sale of bonds the bondless railroad runs from Salt Lake City to the port of San Pedro, Cal., near Los Angeles. It was put In service Christmas week, when the first train was operated from Chicago to Los Angeles. It has trackage arrangements with the Chicago & Northwestern and the Union Pacific for regular through service between Chicago and Los Angeles. Work is at present progressing on a branch from Las Vegas to Bullfrog Mine, Nev. This line will cost H,D00.nuO. and it will be finished without the sale of bonds. In all probability the branch will be ex tended from Bullfrog to Tonopah without the sale of bonds. The total cost of the branch from Las Vegas to Tonopah will be about K 000,000. The San Pedro line penetrates a rich min eral country, and It Is a favorite project of the senator's because his wealth is derived from minerals. The enterprise was the out come of one which had been originated by Richard C. Kerens of St. Louis. Mr. Kerens and a St Louis syndicate acquired Termi nal island, at the port of San Pedro, and built about fifty miles of track. When Senator Clark acquired the property in order to build the present San Pedro line most of the members of the St. Louis syndicate withdrew ' their Investments, amounting to S3,OUO,0u0. But Mr. Kerens in creased his interest in the senator's project and Induced other St. Louis capitalists to invest. The St. Louis members of aWnator Clark's bondless railroad corporation are Richard C. Kerena, J. C. Van Blarcom. Charles Clarke, Charles Green. R. A. Be mis, 8. A. Eemls, Jr.. and Q. U. Handlan.
