I AM FOR
AL SMITH
PRES?BENT
The most unfair and ab
surd attack made on Governor
Smith is that directed at his
religious = faith. An anti-
Smith speaker in a neighbor
ing town recently did a Billy
Sunday stunt, showing = how
Al Smith got down on his
knees to kiss a cardinal’s
hand, thus indicating his feal
ty to the [Roman Catkolic
fihurch. An appeal to preju
ice.
When you come. to.think of
it this anti-Catholic sentiment
is a strange thing. Nobody
ever charges that the Presi
dent of France and his prime
minister dre dominated by the
Pope, though France is over
whelmingly Catholic and prac
tically all of its officials are
Catholic. One never hears of
Mussolini knuckling to the
Pope, though he is a good
iCatholic and nearly all Ital
ians are of that faith, and the
Papacy located a few squares
from Mussolini’s headquart
ers. But here in the United
States where of our 100,000,-
000 and more people, 16,000,-
000 (including all infants in
Catholic famii'ies) are Catho
lics, some people entertain
the ridiculous notion that a
Catholie President would be
controlled by the Pope! It
makes one blush for shame.
How - feéhle we Protestants
must be, if fifteen percent of
the people are to overthrow
the other 85 per cent.
Is there the slightest evi
dence that Smith’s policy as
Governor of New York has
been in any way influenced by
his religion. Governor Smith
has come out in the public
prints with ‘a ringing state
ar?le:’t':hat he is first, last and
zen, owing no#fll’m to
any t‘crc{gn power, religious’
or otherwise, and that his
private faith will in no way
influence his public acts. In
deed, in a case of a man of
his type, the very ~charge
would make him all the more
punctilious ‘to see that noth
ing happened that would in
any way give color to the sus
picion,
Let us have dome with thi
¢illy prejudice. = Catholics,
Jews, Unitarians and all the
endless varieties of Protest
ants are the same under the
law. Their right to worship
God in their owzl way is guar
anteed by the Constitution;
they are all good citizens, and
there is no reason to believe
that any man of sufficient cal
ibre to receive a nomination
for the high office of Presi
dent, would stoop to moulding
his policies with reference to
the wishes 'of any religious
gsect. One of the strongest
grounds of opposition to Jef
ferson was the charge that
he was an atheist. But he did
not make this a godless coun
try. He could not even if he
had so desired. In modern
times church and state are
separated, tor the most part,
and government goes on
without reference to religion.
Al Smith certainly has no de
sire to change the present ar
rangement.
Coolidges End Their
Vacation; Had A
“Wonderful Time”
SUPERIOR, Wis, —(UP)— His
three months vacation at an end,
President Coolidge was en route
to Washington Tuesday, accom
panied by Mrs. Coolidge and his
corps of attendants. The party
left here at 6:45 p. m. Monday.
The chief executive will be back
in the White House by Wednes-
“We have had a very wonderful
summer,” the President told his
Wisconsin hosts before his depar
ture. The farewe!l ceremonies
took place in the auditorium of the
Ligh schopl which has housed the
executive offices since the arrival
of the President here June 15.
A chilling wind, whipped by a
northeust gale, beat against the
school building as the President
informally expressed his thanks
and praised the fishing which has
occupied so many of his summer
hours.
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge plan to
remain in Washington not more
than a week before visiting Ply
mouth, Vt, and Northampton,
Mass., their childhood homes.

BY PAUL R. MALLON '
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—The republi
can victory in the Maine state
election was viewed by Herbert
Hoover and his campaign advis
ers Tuesday as a favorable omen
for November for the Hoover-
Curtis ticket in that state. And
they hoped, too, it would have a
favorable psychological reflex on!
other territories. However, after
reading United Press dispatches
at his headquarters, conferred
with Chairman Work, of the Re
publican National Committee, and
it was indicated Work might
have a statement later.
Hoover concluded the advance
copy of his Newark labor speech
Tuesday and indicated he would
start Wednesday on a two-day
fishing trip down the Potomae
river and Chesapeake Bay. ‘

Athens public school authorities
are still expecting an overflowing
enrollment, as the schools begin
their regular class work Wednes
day and the session officially gets

meeting at Chase street school
Monday afternoon to discuss plans
for the year, and examinations for
those having to take them were
Feld Monday and Tuesday of this

ation seems to be taken care of
by the utilization of the Knox In
stitute building, for a high school,
and the throwing open of the old
high school builging for grammar
school use. Conditions in the
white schools are still bad, how
ever, because of limited space for
seating pupils in the grammar
