FROM THE
SOAP BOX
By Dan Magill
‘While admit iag that ihe Consti
tution of the United States does
'not redquire that an individual must
'submit to a religious test before
‘he can qualify for a public office
under this government, many peo
ple contend that the Constitution
does not bar them from using
their own judgment to disqualify
a person for their vote on account
of his religion, The Constitution,
it is true, does mnot prohibit me
from refusing to vote for a Cath
olic simply because he is a Cath
olic, if we interpret a prohibition
law as something that is made ef
feqgtive through force. However,
if it was the intent of the found
ers of this government to forbid
a religious test in order to quali
fv for a public office under the
_Const‘ltuthn. it certainly must
have been their intent in writing
the Sixth Amendment, to dissuade
vou and me from 'employing =a
religious test in determining to
whom we shall give our vote.
When 1 vote for a Catholic for
president, it does not mean that
'I endorse she religious views of
Catholics nor does it mean that I
’agree with the Pope, in whatever
he may think about the sepura.
tion of Church and State. 't moans
[nimply that T agree with she foun
ders of the Constitution of the
United States in believing tha- it
is dangerous for Democratic gov
ernment and religious freedon
to force people to ‘renounce the
religion of their fathers and of
their yeouth, in order to qualify for
public office. When I vote for a
Catholic T am contributing that
much toward establishing a tra
dition which may serve me some
day, While it is true that the Con
stitution prevents the establish
.ment of a state religion, it
is equally true that whenever a
maority of the voters of this coun
try politically ostracize a Catho
lic they, in effect, have made the
religion of the majority the es
tablished religion and in spirit
they have violated the Constitu
tion of their country,
No matter how vigorously those
who oppose Al Smith on account
of his religion may insist . they
believe in religious ireedom, anl
favor granting to any person the
right to worship God as he pleases
they lose sight of the fact when
hy their suffrage they deprive me
of the privilege to participate in
the administration of my govern
ment because T am a Baptist, or
a thbq}lc' force is being used by
them to compel me to conform to
religipus principles Y do not be
lieve in, or renounce those in
which I do believe in order that
}], may take part in the political
affairs of my country. If that is
not the ne;,tlon of religious free
dom, then I do not know what re
ligious freedom is. They are mere
ly substituting the ballot, \with
all of it's rewards, for the rack,
to compe! submission to their re
ligious views.
~ When I assert that you have
“the right to worship God as you
pleade,” the assertion carries
with it the implication that T shall
not only tolerate your religious
opinions, but defend you right to
hold them. At least, it means that
I shall not do anything that ma'r
induce you, through fear of pun
ishment or hope of temporal re.
ward, to give up your religion. But
if II withhold from you my vote
}slmply because you are a Baptist,
1 am in praetice denying veligious
ltreedom.
No one claims that the Consti
tution of the Unifed States, and
it's principles, finds a favorable
response in ull the people of the
country. It is but a measurihg rod
to determine in what degree we
believe in the Democratic concept
of government, and how far we
are willing to go in order to de.
velop it and perpetuate it, not
only in law, but in the minds and
heoarts of the people. People who
iinlst that they are not violafing
the Constitution when they vote
against a person because of his
irellglous affiliations, and by such
an act are not weakening the
foundation of our form of gov
ernment, have forgotten, or do
not realize, that the force of the
Constituytion is determined by the
respect the people hold for it, and
that their respect is measured by
lthe sincerity with which they car
vy out its principles. o
It is apparently impossible for
some people to consider Al Smith
and his Catholicism in the present,
That is, they cannot dissociate Al
Smith from the past of Catholic
ism. And they ure apparently in
capable of studying the career of
Al Smith to determine whether he
‘would be influenced by his Church
in politics. T certainly would not
'vnte for or against a man because
'he is a Catholic, but I should, in
fairness to myself, form my con.
clusiong in individual cases and
not allow generalities to influence
my decision,
The framers of the Constitution
had good reason for placing in the
Constitution a principle in oppo
sition to the religious test in
politics, And while the Constitu
tion does not demand that you or
1 vote for one who has a particu
lar religion, it certainly does ex
pressly warn agginst allowing a
person’s religion to influence poli
tical choice, This principle is set
up to oppose the tendency in all
‘individunls and groups to arrogate
to themselves the right to deter.
mine what is true, Upon this prin
ciple we must develop a tradition
which would work to our interest
if there should come a time when
we need to have it invoked. And

l Hence, we are constantly m the

Political Shiftine
Confuses Campaign
(Continued froma Page One)
October i 3 likely to see the most
persuasive spellbinders of them
all concentrating there for the
windup.
It is upon this section more than
any other that political attention
has been centered during the pres
ent week. Back in ‘Washington,
Mr. Hoover began a long series of
discussions with party aides by
talking over his prospects in New
York and New Jersey. Governor
Smith, returning northward Zrom
a holiday on the Jersey shore,
stopped for a short speech at New
ark, and later in the week estab
lished an eastern contact with the
farm problem by appearing at the
New York state fair at Syracuse.
Hoover’s running-mate Senator
Curtis, also was on tour in the
East, visiting Syracuse, Harris
burg and other cities.
Carrying into effect his original
proposal for an intensive drive to
overcome opposition in the South,
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
vice presidential nominee, will be
gin at once a swing through Dixie.
In his speech of acceptance at Hot
Sorings Thursday he featured
farm relief and prohibition, and
he now proposes to further appeal
to his fellow-drys in the South not
to quit the Democratic ticket be
cause of the modification views of
Governor Smith. He argues that
Smith, in the White House, would
be firmly committed to strict pro
hibition enforcement, and power
less to induce Congress or the
states to impair the law,
Religious Issue.
The South, in particuiar, con
tinues to debate sharoiy the reli
gious issue—a subject whicn Sen- |
ator Robinson also has taken oc
casion to discuss publicly in the
past.
From Democratic headquarters
in New York, Senator Harrison
of Mississippi has charged that anl
underhand campaign of prejudice
and misrepresentation is being
conducted in the Southern states,
under the inspiration of some one
close to the Republican campaign
committee. Senators Copeland, of
New York and George, of Georgia,
have urged the voters not to reject
Smith because he is a Catholic,
and former Senator Hardwick, of
Georgia, has declared that certain
“political parsons” opposing the
Democratic nominee in the South
in the name of prohibition, were
really actuated by religious intol
erance.
- None of these challenges appear
to have lessened the determination
of the Protestant churchmen who
are at the head of the Anti-Smith
Democratic organization. They
are appealing to the friends of
prohibition and the foes of Tam
‘many to redouble their efforts in
every state. Bishop Cannon, him
iself, attending a prohibition con
ference in Europe, cabled home a
thundering attack on Smith’s mod
ification program.
In Northwest, s
There appears a growing belief
among the Democratic leaders
that a real party drive in the
northwest would be worth t};\e
candle. Chairman Raskob, an
nouncing at St. Louis a set of
Democratic claims which left al
most nothing to the Republicans,
put Minnesota and Wisconsin in
the front ranks of the states “as
sured” Smith and Robinson. With
this classificiation, as with many
other things in Mr, Raskob’s an
nouncement, the Republican lead
ers disagree; but they do not con
ceal that they have had disquiet
ing reports from the northwest
wheat country and are prepared
for a battle there,
Both Wisconsin and Minnesota
are so heavily Renublican in ordi
nory years the Democrats main
tain no very vigorous organization
in either state. This year, how
ever, is the exception. During the
past week, Senator Blaine, a lead
er of the Wisconsin Republicans
has cnnounced that he “has no
doubt™ his followers will vote for
Smith. And Representative Frear,
another LaFollette republican, has
endorsed Hoonver. In Minnesota,
the sole Renublican Senator.
Sechall, has refused to work for
the elaction of Hoover.
~ In Nebraska, on the conirary,
Gevernor McMullen hag announced

after some hesitation that he will
stay with his party—a disappoint
ment to the Democratic leaders,
who had hoped his defection would
turn Nebraska into the Democrat
ic column. They still see possi
bilities there and are theatening
to make a serious try for the Da
kotas as well.
There were other disappoint
ments and happy surprises, too,
for both sides, in the week’s grist
of political news. Lammont Du
Pont, of Delaware, whose brother
and business associate bolted to
Smith announced he would vote
for Hoover despite the Republi
can nominee’s dryness. Henry H.
Curran, once Republican candidate
for Mayor of New York, and now
head of the association against
the prohibition amendment, came
out for Smith.
Praises Smith.
A less definite pronouncement
L,y William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, at
counci! table. Speaking before the
tracted attention at every political
New York Federation, Mr. Green
praised Governor 'Smith’s labor
record; recalled that the American
I ederation was not itself taking
sides; and then added that he felt
sure laboring men would konw
how to vote for their friends. He
Jest his hearers to draw their own
conclusions. Before it adjourned,
the state federation endorsed
Smith. T
Meantime the two party chair
men are talking in millions again,
and nobody seems to object.
Chairman Raskob’s announcement
that the democrats hoped to raise
a campaign fund of $4,000,00¢ was
followed by a Republican decision
to try to get along on $3,000,000.
If these figures come true, it will
mean a big jump for the Demo
cruts over four years ago and a
Republican reduction. The official
fiures for 1924 were: Republicans
$3.063,952; Democrats $1,230,214,
Times and politics change. The
report of Bryan’s managers in
1920 showed a fund of only $425,-
000, and some onres who will vote
this year remember when a presi
dential nominee rode the rails like
any other passener and swapped
stories in the smoking car with his
fellow travelers. Now he has a
special train. And even a vice
presidential candidate rates a pri
vate car.
Why I Am For Al
* Smith For President
(Continued from Page One)
States has never, within the
history of our government,
control]gd or changed either
the whiskey or religious fun
damentals of the constitution;
he does not have that power
invested in him; it requires a
two-thirds majority vote of
our Congress to amend the
constitution, and the same
two-thirds majority can over
ride the President’'s veto. If
you are a true democrat and
you are conscientious in desir
ing to change the whiskey or
religious laws, it is then your
duty to elect a represefitative
to congress who has the only
law making power.
George Washington drank
his wine, Thomas Jefferson
had his own religious views,
and who is it that questions
the patriotism of either?
'Every American citizen has
a 'right to serve his God ac
cording to the dictates of his
own conscience; you may con
vince me that my religious
views are wrong but the con
stitution of these United
States has made this, my
country, a God’s liberty lov
ing country, “liberty of speech,
of press, and of religion.”
You have had the Volstead
Act under both Democratic
and Republican administra
tions; it is a law to prohibit
the use of whiskey; has it
been enforced under either
administration ?
Who is the one to dictate to
me and say that T must be a
Jew. a Protestant or a Cath
olic? Who shall take away
my constitutional rights ? lls it
man or God? He will in His
own good time say who is
right, the Jew, the Protestant
or the Catholic. Can Yyou
prove who is wrong ?

ORGANIZED LABOR
FAVORS GOV. SMITH
(From Democratic National
Committee.)
NEW YORK.—The action of
the New York State Federatior
of Labor at its recent convention
in Rochester in voicing whole
hearted and enthusiastic endorse
ment of Governor Smith’s candi
dacy, has given great encourage
ment to the managers of the Dem
oeratic National Campaign. Gov
ernor Smith’s entire public car
eer has peen such as to commend‘
hin: to the favorable consideration
of organized labor whose loyal
support he has always had in hisl
several state campaigns.
In no campaign in the past has
the country been so systematical
ly organized to appeal to the la
bor vote for the democratic pres
idential candidate as is the case
in the pending contest. Acting
upon the recommendation of Ma
jor George L. Berry of Tennessee,
president of the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistants’
Union of North America, who is
serving as the head of the Labor
Bureau Division of the National
Committee, Chairman Raskob has
dcsignated an Advisory Board
comprising the leading oifictals or
labor organizations and repre
senting nearly every trade and
industry in the country. In almost
every mstance thc members of
the Advisory Board, who have ac
cepted service and expressed a
‘willingness to take off their coats
and work for the election of
Smith are high officials in their
respective unions. With less than
a half dozen exceptions each mem
ber of the Advisory Committee is
either presidgent or secretary of
the union he or she represents, in
that capacity. More than forty
six international unions are rep
resented on tne Advisory boara.
In addition, each state has 2
national chairman through whom
the Labor Division is working.
Likewise, these chairmen are
practically all high officials in
their respective unions.
William B. Wilson o¢f Pean
sylvania, who was Secretary of
Labor in the cabinet of Woodrow
Wilson, is the chief adviser ot the
bureau. Mr. Wilson was at onec
time secretary treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of Ameri
ca. He was democratic candidate
for United States senator in
Pennsylvania two years ago and
is now contesting tor the seat in
that body from which William S.
Vare has been barred. y
Ex-State Senator John J. Kec
gan of Indiana, who is also a for
mer vice-president of the Inter
pational Association of Machin
ists, is director of the labor. div
ision.
“Republican and democratic
workers ‘alike,” said Mr. Keegan
in announcing the list of promi
nent labor leaders who will serve
on the national advisory board,
“yecognize that Governor Smith
is their friend and has proven
his friendship and devotion to la
bor over a period of twenty-five
years.” S
Business Girls’
“Y” Club To Open
Eight Day Camp
The Business Girls’ Club of the |
Y. W, C. A. will open an eight
days camp at Jennings Mill Sat
urday September 8. TFollowing
their ugual custom, this will be an
overnight camp, thus' allowing the
members to continue work and en
joy wholesome recreation at the
close of the day. This is the sec
ond camp period held by the Club
this summer, and an even larger
attendance is expected than on the
first period.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Scott, who
conducted the Business Girlg’ camp
before, have again consented to
be the chaperones. Swimming,
square dances, stunts, and other
activities will add to the usual fun,
and the good food for which the
camp ‘s famous is again agsured.
/Any girls who have not regis
tered are requested to communi
cate with Miss Nan Etheridge or
Migs Mabel Patat. N
This will be the seventh group
to use the Y. W. C. A, camp since
| June and will conclude a very suc
i cessful summer geason. The Bus'-
' npess Girls’ Ciub had the first pe
riod, beginning on June 15, and
were followed by ten day camps
for the Bluebirds and for girls of
high school age. Weekends were
alloted to girls employed by the
manufacturing companies and then
the camp ‘was lent for the use of
underweight children of the city.
Bach of the camp periods hag been
wdll attended, and indications are
that the last group will also have
a large crowd and plenty of fun.
Transportation to and from camp
will be provided by members of
the Businesg Girls' Club, so girls
des'ring to register need not hesi
sate because they do not have cars.
The committee in charge will ap
preciate any voluntary service
along this line from those who

GIVS LABOR LEADER
SPRINGFIELD, Il.— (UP) —-|
Secretary Frank Morrison of the|
America nFederation of Labor
told a labor demonstration Mon
day that “we should not boast of
our country as a land of pros
perity and opportunity” with un-‘
employment at its present state. |
Using, in part, estimates of the
United States Labor Department,
Morrison placed the unemploy
ment now at 3,000,000 persons,
which he said, “means at least
15,000,000 persons, or approxi
mately 1-8 of our population, who
are not continually assured food
and shelter.”
Such conditions, he declared.
“offer a fertile field for a dis
content that is based on despair.”
The unemployment situation, in
tensified by the increased use of
machinery, challenges the atten
tion of the efficiency experts, he
said. It is revolutionary, he add
cd, since the “machine, electricity
and science are sweeping work
ers into the streets.”
Morrison attacked the use of
sinjunctions in labor disputes, de
claring the injunction has been
abused. “It’s use by some judges,”
he said, “established anew the old
principle of serfdom.”
