"The Duty of Voters to Their Party and
Their Country. This was the timely sub
ject of Rev. NJ. ]. Riordan, pastor of st. Charles
Catholic Church, Pikesville, last Sunday morn
ing. In part he said

ular mind, that relaxed standard of morality
is permissible in political matters is utterly I'M
tenable and finds no shadow of justification in
theology, ethics, jurisprudence or reason. If,
as distinguished United States Senator has
said, the moral law has no place in politics,
then by every rule of logic it has no place
anywhere and may be abrogated in every cate
CORY of human conduct
"tWhy,' exclaims the money mad insurance
official, the gay libertine, the divorce seeker,
the professional swindler, the scamping work.
er, the perfidious labor leader and the pilfering
servant, should be restrained by moral law
when public officials and political leaders are
allowed to make a burlesque of the Decalogue
and the golden rule"
tWhat answer can we make except to hang
our heads in shame? No doubt much of the
scandalous sin prevalent in commercial and
private life is indirectly the result of minimiZ
ing and ignoring in political and civil affairs
the commandments of God and his prophets.
1.-THE only practical remedy and the one al
WAYS available is the habit of independent
voting 1t is the distinct weapon of the intelli-
gent partisanship being in the inverse ratio to
thoughtfulness. It has led up to the crafty
ing condition of affairs in Baltimore and Mary
land today, a city and State without graft.
"Party fealty is not 70 be condemned unre-
servedly. 1t is a laudable sentiment founded
upon noble instinct, and under given condi-
tions worth fighting for and dying for When
the leading parties stood for principles and
rights dear as life itself it was privilege and
an honor to sit at the feet OF their brainy and
magnanimous leaders, listen TO their lofty APP
peals to patriotism and feel the glow of divine
fire enkindled by love for holy cause But
now the parties have been commercaized, the
machinery in cities and states being in posses
sion of cabal that controls nominations, APP
pointments and legislation, and levies toll upon
favored corporations and individuals. An oil
garchy or autocracy has supplanted Democra-
CIV. whose outward shell still remains.
"The pathos of it all is that the coterie in
control seek to entrench and perpetuate them
selves in power by demagogic appeals to preju-
dice, resentment and passion, and by playing
upon the tender memories and noble aspira-
tions that cluster around it.
.sTheir management is somewhat analogous
to that of the great life insurance companies:
Both profess much concern for the welfare of
their unsuspecting followers; both trade and
play upon the best sentiments of the human
heart, and the absorbing aim of both is per-
sonal enrichment and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, though
