BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
CONDITIONAL PROMISES—*IIf
walk in my statues, and keep my
commandmentg, I will have respect
unto you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply vou, and establish my cove
nant, with you.” Lev. 26:3, 9.
j Gypsy Smith’s preachipng in .M.u-:-n
will do gréat zood all over middl®
CGoeorgia, which section has rurnlahwll
th(; pqnngeg‘uuov'n that listened to his
~ sermon ¢ We.afe not worried about
his pny-dnly hope that his remuncr
ation on the last day of the meetings
was enough to take care cof him and
his needs 1] another last day brings
him the money he will need. His
gospel messages carry a sincerity
through all the printed pages of the
Macon papers that helped him in his
meetings. e must have done great
good in the three weeks he was there.
We get the idea out of the I’t.-ns,\'l-‘
~wyania primaries that the voters H!m'(-‘
were fighting the hosses more than
% #hey were fighting for the'r bearer,
# ¢Phig quntry is graptly beset with p
litical bosses who are wealthy enough
to keep the larger newspapers {rom
saying anything about it—the bosses
have learneq that it is best to own
the newspapers. But it is really a
hard job to own the voters every
where all the time. Our politic:!
dream is to see the man with th
American ballot unvderstand fully
what the ballot means—so fully that
he is willing to register, retaining his
veting qualifications all the time, and
then express his will intelligently i
the lmlfol hox on such occasions a
that which stirred Pennsylvania and
resulted in plucking some of the tail
feathers from the plumed bosses. .
THIS ISN'T FAIR |
William A. Rowan, graml mas- g
© " ter of Masons of the State of |
New York, has warned the mem- i
bers of the eraft that the organi- |
zation should refra‘n from partic- '
i*!ing in. pelitigs. “Masons as
citizens in p()fill('s. ves,” he said. i
"f]‘hu institution of Masons in pol- [
itics never!™ Cardinal O'Connell '
previously gave the same warning t
to the Kn'ghts of Columbus. Tho ‘
editor of the Cordele Dispatch in i
a recent editorial apparently con- L
~doned the participation in polities |
of Masons, as an organization, in ’
Latin-America. ]
We do not think Richard Reid in !
: t;»;fil"ul to do us an injustice in thoy,
' writing of this paragraph, but he doo ‘
» The Masons we have known are no i
in politics as an institution. Ther |
may be communities where they ai !
"‘_u(‘tivv as an organization, but we have l
"nevcr agitated such ang at this mo ’
mént think it would be unwise an l
unlike the spirit of Masonry, \\'4
have called attention to the fact tha: |
there are other agencies secking te '
control. We think Clan ne Gael do
control in New York and in smany ¢ x
the larger American (:onlm's——an.‘g
‘~.,t"kre are .mauny voters who knov|
moere about loyalty to Rome than th E
American flag. There is marked ac i
. tivjt)' of this kind in Italy, Cuba, Mex
"igg and Latin America. lln Mexic |
bnr\hmt\ percent of the polit.cal ncti\*’
' "il.y. is (‘;flh(fli&‘. and that has muso-'l
“the government and the outside world
untold trouble, Mexico is callel
“priest ridden” because of (‘ulholi-‘
irterference with tchools and affairs
of state, N
That is a deplorable situation which
we dp not attempt to lay at the doo
f the American Cathelic church,
What troubles us here is a secret, in
sidious power that controls all along
the east coast and in a number of
the larger American political centors
—controls in the name of the Roman
Catholie church. It has directdy to do
with politics, It dictates the poli
cles of state in New Ycik, It con
trols the public schools and all local
elections., 1t makes the tickets and
gies that its cardidates win the elec
tions,
That activity is the gsame with the
Klan, It i 1 not so with the Masons
anywhere, so far as we know, llurci
in the south the Klan engages in pn-i
litical activity—up in New York, In
diana, Maryland, M:::s'.*;a(:hlliimts.(
Rhode Island and Ilinois it is the
same. In the south the Klan finds so
“ttle oppesition that we hear little
of its work-—except now and then
abuse -of it from one political faction
or another. In the north and east
the clashes are lawless, for exampls
at Bioody Herrin, There is a world
of secret activity which does not
reach the public,
Catholic and anti-Catholic political
activity is given to the public as Klan
and ant'-Klan because the Klan is th(-‘
)l:n'g(-sl organized fight on Catholic
political activity and all of it comes
lout of the north and east, because
‘ih('rv the real elashes occur. Briefly,,
Lhis is the whole truth about it,
Any religious interference - with
lslalo affairs ov politics is wrong, Any
‘.'lm-uvy that springs from a rei‘gious
effert to deminate state affairs is
based upon error of the worst type.
In America the state and the church
are separate institutions. Two wrongs
do not make a right. Klan opposition,
to Clan ne Gael isn't right-—hut Clan
ne Gael isn't right. Time after time
we have condemned both these or
ganizationts, Neither is imaginary.
Both are real=anq they are doing
great harm.
The Klan assumes that it is up
holding the protestant rights' in this
country. Clan ne Geael assumes that
it is protecting the Catholic church—
taere you are. Who is going to stop
them ? e b
Shall we tell thiooa that this coun
try is large enouvgh--bread cnough——-i
for the religious freedom that was de
creed n the conctitution of this re
public? Or whall we 50 on agitating
religious hatred and bigotry? .We
canot be fain to the state and na
tion without comlcmning both these
thirzs, We must o on_courageously
soeking to climinate all of it, Qut it
must be a fairly directed fight on the
whole thing.
“The person who condemns the
one and directly or indirectly con--
dones the other, Ly silence on thv|
subjeet or ctherwise, isn't l'air-—l
isn’'t worthy of a hearing before the
great American public. There is
greater wrong in such course than
in anything that the one or the oth
er side does in its fight to control
the state throwgh politicai interfer--
ence with st:m“ affairs.
We do not believe Richard Reid!
will elaim that we condone secret re-
Haious political interference with
ctate affairs despite the fact that it
is his business to speak, for .tho’
Catholies in this country. We havo'
no such idea of him as a publicity |
ditector. We are not looking for an_\'i
such unfairness from him, “
Many a time have we written in
these columns that all this is wrong
—religious interference with state
affairs from any source, no matter
whence it comes, We have persist
ently maintained that there is such
interferences, and we still have that
firm conviction. We want both sides|
to understand that we think there lb"
no need of it—will never be, But
"we are not going to remain silent
as to the one faction when it is just
as active, just as injurious, just as
much a handicap to free institutions
in America as the other.
Pulitzer prizes awarded to the one
side for fighting the other isn’t our
idea of a way to dispose of it. The
most preposterous imposition on an
| intclligent American public we ha\'e‘
cver seen was the awarding of the
Pulitzer newspaper prize to Julian
Hiuris, editor of the Columbus En.
quirer Sun, for his “disinterested,”
most meritorious service duving the
| Year in American Journalism. If
i wasn't “disinterested.” It was every:
thing but that, He is fighting the
Cacholic political fight against Ku
Klux political interference in staie
alfairs—and so l(m-g as there is a
'Czuholic politicial interperence, we
arc not going to agree that there is
justice or fairness in any of it. The
Pulilzers award came ocut of the
heart of all the Catholic political in
terference with state affairs in
America, It was a Catholic award to
Julian Harris for a valiant fight for
Catholic supremacy in American poh
ties. That's all it was—all it will ever
be. ; ’
And we are gding to enter oot ot
Call usg crazy-—whatever y:u ol .
Call it condoning political inter ar
,(:m:u with state affairs by the Ma
sons if yon will-—=we cannot heip that
All ¢l it is wrong, from foundation
to roof cap. If we have to travel all
alone in our convictions, we are still
going tv condemn it all-—and that in
cludes Catholic a® well as protestant
polit.cal cffort to control state affairs,
The man who undertakes to tell us
what the l{.l:m is doing wrong cannot
’seem just so long as he fails to cons
demn the same kind of political ac
ruvitles directed by a similar organi
‘zzitlbr{ whi¢h wé have been taught to
;c-n‘ll Clan nn Gael from first hand
knowledge of its interference with
state affairs, with its efforts to con
tiol the destinies of the national dem
ocratic party, with its absolute domi
nation of all party activities of the
democrats in the east and the north,
NOTHING FOR THE FARMER
Our farmer friends should not look
for relief from any federal legisla--
tion during the present administra
tion. There are some vote-cat;chingl
schemes up, and if Coolidge and his\
peliticaal family see enough in any
one-of them to make it appetizing ag
such, they will let it pass. But as to
real aid for the farmer, there isn’t
‘anything like that possible. The
party in power enjoys its plunder
and bLooty at the expense of the
s ra=enoy’ more than ever in -_the
bictory of this great free man‘s‘
country., The Fordney-eCumber tar
iff law is the machine which Lh“%
powerful rich people wiio malie upi
the republican party control of ile
government at present use to prey
on the producer of the raw products
—+the farmer. If any legislation were
passed to aid the farmer, it would
do so at the expense of the powers
that are benefitting now by dominat
ing the Coolidge administration.
The advantage of being able to
control the manufactured products
both price and outpt, lie in the
Fordney-McCumber tariff law. This
law was made to cnable the trusts
the republican party leaders, to con
trol both price and output of all
American made goods. The farmer
aever bears of an overproduction of
‘the farmr-implements he uses tol
make his crops. He never hears of
an over crgwded market in -sewine
r.mchlécs, rangos, stoves, plow points
mule (‘nllfl?“::, trace chains, and the
“bell lines” for Old Beck.
That thing is regulated, both in;
output and price. Everything is or-’
ganized and systemalized. The out-i
side world is minded out with ai
great tariff wall and the inside in
American manufactured goods, fl‘oml
straw hats to overalls, is regulated— |
and the trust in charge is protected
by an administration which couldn’t
tell anybody whether the Sherman]
anti-trust law still is on our federal
statute books. '
The farmer must have his quarrel"
with himself——it_ will do no good to‘
carry it to Washington. He must
regulate his output and {ix the price
for it. There is no law against such
action on his part. 'There can come
no relief from any other source—
not as long as federal government
means government of the rich, by the
vich, and for the rich. The farmer
cannot find relief in an administra
tion of special interests, class legisla
tion, and election results that are
|counted in the millions that have
‘becn paid {for the control of the
[' ballots.
The farmer has his power in num.

DO PLANTS FEED?
From the Montgomery Advertiser:
One of the most interesting men
in the world is Jagadis Bose, a fa.
mous Indian plant psychologist, who
for 30 years has devoted his time
to experiments the purpose of which
is to show that vegctables fcels and
thinks almost the same as humans
do.
Sir Jagadis is now in London to
deliver a series of lectures on his dis
coveries, Which have revolutionized
rreviously. held theories. According
to a dispatch from London o thé
New York -World, the .Cajcutta sa--
vant has perfected a device wherchby
he actually measures the nervous im
pulses of the plant’s fibres, which
corresponds. to the central nervous
system, the brain and ihe spinal cord
of the higher animals. .
Sir Jagadis says in an interview
with the World correspondent that
he has succeeded not only in re
vealing brain action in plants, but
has caught the brain impulse on his
instrument even before it is trans-:
mitted into action by the plant’s mus
cular organisms, He can rccord the
rate at which these impulses can be
transmitted, ‘'by a bandage of ccher
or ice water, causing rartial paraly.
sis of the plant’s nerves, or hasten
it by administering stimulants.

She Was in a Serious Condi
tion, But Is Stronger After
. -
Taking Cardui.
Huntington, W, Va.—“l was in a
vJery weak and run-down condition;
—in fact, was in a serious condi
tion,” says Mrs, Fannie C. Bloss, of
1964 Macison Avenue, this city.
“In my left side the pain was
very severe. It would start in my
back and sides. Part of the time I
was in bed and when up I didn’t
feel like doing anything or going
anywhere.
“Life wasn't any pleasure. I
was very pale. I was nervous and
thin, and so tired all the time.
“My druggist told me that Cardui
was a good tonic for women and I
bought a couple of bottles. I took
two bottles, then I noticed an im
provement. I kept on and found
it was helping me. I have taken
nine bottles. I'm stronger now
than I have been in a long time.”
Cardui is made from mild-acting
medicinal herbs with a gentle, tonic,
strengthening effect upon certain
female organs and upon the system
in general.
