Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne:mercy and truth shall go before thy face.—Psalm 89 : 13 , 14 . O U R F R E E D O M ’S SH IELD The Constitution of the U. S. is the palladium of our rights and liberties. t he fathers who drew it up, knew what they were about. They knew that the people are apt to suffer from brainstorms and b e c o m e as despotic as any a u t o c r a t i c monarch dared to be. So they carefully guarded the principles which should insure a true lib erty from infringement on the part of any, even of the majority Time and again its inestima ble value has been demonstrated, of which the recent decision on the school law is an example. A danger lies in a democracy from rash action on the part of majorities. From all this the con stitution is a wall of defense and protection. The courts are for its interpretation in accordance with the principles therein con tained, and not what a popular clamor may demand at the mo ment. That the proponents of the school law had some laudable in tentions in view, may be con ceded, but these can be secured by constitutional means. The state has the right to set a stan- ard in education and to insist that this shall be maintained in all schools, whether public or private. To this end they should all be subject to visitation and su pervision by the state officials. This is vastly different from giving the government a mo nopoly in education and taking it out o f the hands of the parents. K IN G T U T S T R E A S U R E The exploration for and exhu mation of the treasures in King Tilt’s tomb, are severely criti cised by some, as ghoulish work, and grave robbing. But the question comes up, can the dead retain possession of anything? We have it on good authority that naked a man comes into the world and goes out of it the same way. A dead man holds title to nothing, although he may dispose of what he leaves behind to his heirs and beneficiaries, and to a certain extent qualify this disposal by stipulations as to its use by them. If there are no heirs, either by kinship or will, the property reverts to the state. The immensely valuable treasures in King Tut’s tomb, manifestly belong to the Egyp- tain government, which has the right to allow of their being ex humed and used as it sees fit. Common decency and sentiment prohibit, unless for weighty cause, the disturbing or removal of his remains, but he has abso lutely no claim on anything else.

The cost of ad ministration so far has not ex ceeded #111,000. While so far the result is very gratifying, its effect in keeping capital out of the siate, is yet to be determined. Then there is the constitutionality of the law, which is under dispute. The ad vocates of the law hope that the adjoining states will pass simi lar laws. But will they? There is a cloud considerably larger than a man’ s hand ap pearing on the political horizon which is causing worry to the political leaders, especially those of the republican party. This is the probability of a third party headed by La Follette. E ncouraging the returns thus far received., Register Now W. F.

BONER Bartholomew & Lawrence special class at the annual con vention of the Oregon Council of Religious Education to be held at the First Presbyterian church of Portland, April 21, 22 and 23. Instead of criticising the churches for not building modern edifices with special rooms for all classes, leaders in the work have decided to give delegates constructive advice on methods which may be used in making a one-room school a marked success. Special classes will be held each day for workers in all de partments of the Sunday school from the cradle roll through the adult division, and also for ad ministrative officers. Other ques tions to be discussed will be the daily Vacation Bible Schools, week day church schools, reli gious education in teachers’ in stitutes, patriotism, peace and missionary education. A promi nent figure in these gatherings will be Marion Lawrence of Chi cago, for 20 years the executive secretary of the International Sunday School Association.
