10 TITE OMAIIADAILT BEEi TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1907. CHURCH AND STATE IN FRANCE Relative Position Absurd and Contra dictory, Says Abbe Klein. 'I COMPEOMISE IS LOOKED FOE Dlatlaaalshrsl SrholnrA(hor of Paris Visits Dlshop Srannell and Will apeak at Crrlah toa lTnlweralty, 3! y I . wirni rvoirnrrni I New Vjrla" H V V U 1 X 1 v I Fall Carpets 3rd Floor Rags 3rd Floor TI:o Abbe Foil Klein of Purl-, France, rrive.l In Omaha Monday morning and la the ruest of Blnhnp Bcannell. The abbo la professor of French lltrrature In the Cathollo Institute of Paris and man of very hlah attainments. lie spraks eirellent ICnsrlleh. He Is the author of a bonk, "In the Land of Strenuous Life," dedicated, tiy permission, to Fre-Jdent Roosevelt. Ha had also translated the discourses of Archbishop Ireland and of Bishop SpaldlnR of Peoria Into the French language. In which they have proved very popular. "I stopped In Omaha to visit my friend, Bishop Bcannell, whom I met two years iro In Paris," said the abbe. "I prom ised then that I would visit him at his home, but he did not think it likely I cotild keep my promise. "The relative position In which the church and state find themselves today In France la absurd and contradictory. The state has confiscated all the property of the church and we have now no lea-Hi ex istence nor do we own any property. At the time the law was passed the state gave us the alternative of ornanlzlnn Into 'associations cultuelles' or local commit tees of worship. These were to be undT the direction of the government. The con gregations were to have the privilege of worshiping In the churchea If they com piled with the condition. ' However, tho church refused and accepted the alterna tive of confiscation. Nevertheless we go Into the churches and hold worship th'er.f while the state alta Idle and permits us to break tha law. We are trespassers on our own property. Bat Chaaa-e Mast Tome. "This, of course, cannot continue. For myself, I am glad the change has taken place. I prefer the present order of things to the old. when tho church was domi nated by tha state. If a bishop was up pointed he had to meet the approval of tha state and even the smallest parish piiast oould not be appointed if he was distasteful to some of the powerful in terests. It must be remembered, too, that tha persecutors of the church are born and baptised Catholics. Dut they are anti christ lan now. "What the outcome will be Is Impossi ble to say. I hope a compromise will be reached. France is a republic, of course, only In name. Here your cities and states have such privileges aa your, own clttsens give them. There they have only suoh privileges as tlte state gives them." The Institute In which the Abbe Klein l professor has 700 students, most of whom are already graduates of colleges. Among lis seventy professors are M. de Lappurent, who has been electod perpetual secretary of the French Academy of Sciences; the i ' ml nen t Abbe Kousselot, Inventor of the i honct'lc machine' for learning languages, ; :id AI. Dranley, a lio was the real In , liter of wireless telegraphy, are also ; e.i.bers of the faculty. Abbe Klein will speak Tuesday evening I.i the, Cretan ton university auditorium on I'lie Kecont Law Separating Church and ;,,ate in France." He will go from here l bt. Paul to visit Archbishop Ireland, uid will then visit Seattle, Portland, San 1 lanclsco, Los Angeles and New Orleans, i. ukiiig addresses In each. He will be In l urls by November. LOSS OF HAT CAUSES TROUBLE Fort Doiiite Man Haa Loag Journey and Piitht Over Hla Ilounet. According to John Carney of Fort Dodge, la., a new to hat is worth coming all the way to Omaha for, especially if the hat was taken away unfairly and there la some chance of getting revenge. According to the story told the police Judge Monday morning John McLclan, who is a traveling man, took Carney's hat from a hotel In Fort Dodge and left his own, a straw. Carney atarted out post haste after Mc Lelan. After spending a day In Council UlufTs, where he lost all hla money, amount ing to over 1100, Carney Anally found the despoller of his head gear Just as he was entering a store. Without waiting for ex planations or preliminaries the rightful owner of the hat, "lit Into" the wrongful wearer and atarted a fist right In which, he was rapidly getting the worst of It when an officer interfered and locked up both. They were discharged by the police Judge and un der the supervision, of Officer Hell peace ably exchanged hats and departed. G. A. R. RATESJTO SARATOGA Ne Bis Boaanaa la Given Travelers Startla from tha Gate City. Statements of the Grand Army of the Republic rates from Omaha to Saratoga Springs have been received In Omaha and are good aa announced In The Pee last week. The rate will be a fare and one third from Omaha to Chicago. Peoria oi 8t. Iouls, based on the rates which wen In effect June 1, and one fare for th round trip from Chit-ago east. The. tariff announcing these ratea was received Mon day. When tha roads announce the rate is based on the rate in effect June 1 It throws it back to the S12.7S rate to Chicago, so Omaha people do not get much of a rate People out in the slate, however, will fare better, .for from points half way across the slate the summer tourist rates will prevail, which are a fare plua with a minimum rata of J-U Thus from points In tha western part of the stute the rate will be one fare plus I- to Chicago and one fare for the round trip beyond.

LINDSAY, Jeweler 11 DouaiM 6traV ne if vou i In all th. I'jia a row r mm m. s BULLETIN NEBRASKA TELEPHONE COMPANV Augo 6 Deadly Parallel No. 7. PRACTICE vs. PROMISES Over $400,000 is paid out by the Nebraska1 Telephone Company to em ployees who live and trade in Omaha. There are 800 employes altogether, in cluding about 300 telephone operators. Of the other 500 the large majority are heads of families, so it is estimated that 2,000 people depend upon the company for their support. The telephone business is one of in finite detail. The Nebraska Telephone Company has the names of nearly 15,000 customers on its books and does a cash business with many thousand more. It must run a talk-track into the premises of each regular customer and maintain an in tricate switching and distributing system at the highest possible standard of effi ciency. Every vagrant electric current, every storm or marked change of temper ature, wind, sleet and lightning, all are enemies of the telephone. In addition to the inate depravity of mechanical devices, the telephone must work the same for all kinds of people; for the man who shouts into the transmitter and for the man who declines to raise his voice above a whisper. The apparatus itself is often subject to rough usage and sometimes to unforseen accidents. The Nebraska Telephone Company has provided a force of employes who are trained to handle all these infinite details. That is why is pays out over $400,000 a year in salaries and wages and that is why it has made record for the general excel lence of its service. By means of its central energy switch board it takes from its subscribers all the mechanical burdens of operation. It re duces the chance for error to the lowest practical point. The number of Omaha subscribers has grown rapidly, and your name in the telephone directory is a neces sity for the convenience of your friends. Call up the contract department, Douglas 2. The prospectus Issued by the promot ers of the new Telephone Company asserts that 6,000 telephones will earn $243,900 and will cost for "operation, maintenance, reconstruction, etc." only $46,500. Experienced telephone men say that both figures are absurd. The Lincoln automatic exchange with considerably less than 6,000 telephones, expends over $53,000 for wages and salaries to say nothing of material, heat, light and power and other expenses. If the whole of the $46,500 in question could be devoted to wages and salaries', without any deductions for material, taxes, heat, light and power and other expenses, it would mean a seriously insufficient force of employes. At an average of $2.0)0 a day apiece it would mean only 66 employes. If the prospectus figures are wrong, the company will not be able to make the financial show ing that prospective investors have been promised. If, on the other hand, the com pany attempts to live up. to the promises of the promoters, it will mean that both the plan and the service will go to ruin for the lack of a sufficient number of skilled men to do the work. The fact is that independent telephone promoters make one promise to prospec tive investors and quite a different promise to prospective customers, They must break one of these prom ises and sometimes break both. The failure to carry out the promises made to investors can usually be covered up for a while at' least, by paying fixed charges and operat ing expenses out of capital. Eventually, however, this deads to a loss of credit or worse, and the company becomes unable to meet its obligations to its subscribers.
