During the past few weeks there has been a considerable amount of talk and writing about the many things that have been done in this country, by this or that people; by those who profess one kind of religion and those who differ iri their beliefs; by those who claim this country to be the melting pot of the world or those

who see something sinister in the continuing of the same old policy which has been in vogue for a number of years, and through it all there seems to be so much room for discussion that one is at a loss to know where to start in voicing their opinions. But midst all of this-there should be some consideration given

to the thoughts and ideas wnich were voiced long ago, as well as those which are current today. Possibly there would be some resemblance in

the ideas. Today one hears from many places the hue and cry about the number of men who fought for this country during its wars, their patriotism, their loyalty to American ideals and a continual reference to their rights, as American citizens, to continue in

their present path of progress. Progress they are inclined to call it but to any man who studies down into the principles of our government and the ideals on which it was founded, there must be another name given for it a name that is hard to characterize in any way, yet one that has no relation to our progress. Before the founding of the princi

ples of this government in their pres

ent form, and while there was much discussion in England concerning the proper course to pursue in regard to the colonies, a man ascended high into

their governmental affairs through his ability as a statesman and a man of wisdom. He knew and thoroughly understood the underlying principles which were later to be incorporated into this greatest and most worthy form of government. He knew and understood the, true significance of

the Protestant religion, and accepted its doctrine with the thought that the world must eventually follow its course. That man was Edmund Burke, and

his speech on conciliation with Amer

ica holds the sametjtrue thought to

day that was embodied fn it in the

eighteenth century. Burke said, "Religion, always

principle of energy, in this new people

is in no way worn out or impaired;

ac't their mode ef professing it is also one main cause of this free spirit. The people are Protestants; and of that

kind which is most adverse to all implicit 6misskm-of-miHtd opinio. This is a persuasion not mly favor

able to liberty, but built upba it." Today, we in America, are "most adverse to all implicit submission of mind and opinion," especially when a creed which dictates every act and thought in life, remains in the country of its birth where little more

Jhan a continual dissension holds hack

a, people who 'otherwise would have

reached far Into the pinnacles of present-day thought and advancement. The same reference that Burke made years ago is true today. We do not want that hindering hand of papal autocracy here. We, do not want the influence of that hand intermingled with the things that make the nation what it is today, or what we desire it to be in the future.. Protestantism stands for liberty and is the very foundation of the country and the principles which have caused it to rise. Catholicism or its influence in any way, tends but to the

"implicit submission of mind and opinion" and is a detriment within itself for the liberty and advancement of any country. When our forefathers drafted the Constitution of the United States they insisted that the spirif of. progress should remain unhampered. The first amendment to the Constitution begins, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." From what and from whom could

the. rights mentioned in that first

amendment be restricted? What influence caused these men to place the freedom of religion before all other things? "Did the shadow of .the papacy stretch forth and bring to

their minds the horrors and deaths of

the country across the Rio Grande can

in any way compare with that to the northward? It is enough to say that

the Protestant-rquntry has advanced

rar, tar Beyond tne otner, ana mere is

reasonable cause. Yet Mexico will

awaken.

But a few ' days past the papers,

which have been carrying their un

just criticism of the principles on

which a 100 per cent. American founds his organization, gave space on the

front page to the fact that the presi

dent of Mexico 'had ordered out ofthe

country a man who had overstepped

the laws of the land. President

Obregon says that "This privilege (practicing their religious beliefs in

public) belongs to the clergy of

Mexico, as stipulated by the laws.'

We of the United States have no

such laws. We allow anyone to prac

tice his beliefs as he sees fit; not disturbing him in the past, and with no thought of disturbing him in the future. No law . has ever been passed that restricted any .religious sect from practicing in this country no law ever will be, and the mere thought of depriving any person of his free right to worship is beyond the idea of any man. Is a person of Catholic faith free to read 'the Bible and form his own

opinion concerning its interpretation? Are his ideas the sum total of his own opinion, formed after extensive study, or are those ideas formed by implicit submission of mind and opinion? Generations have come and gone

with the stars and stripes waving

over the most ideal form of govern

ment and the grandest land-on earth

Wherever Old Glory flies it is the symbol of protection of liberty and

justice. For the things that our flag represents we owe a merciful God and

the spirit of our forefathers, who

were "adverse to all implicit submis

sion of mind and opinion" the Prot

estant Religion

Are we going to uphold the honor

of those men?

Under the guise of ah established

religion a systematic undermining of

the Protestant principles and the lib

erty of our country has been carried

on. Today, when we, as true Americans, step forth in an effort to stop

this attempted destruction of our'!

land, those who are guilty unite and

place their resources and energy be

hind a movement to have us con

demned in every way.
