BIGoTRY AND INTOLERANCE

Somehow we can't dovetail intoler'
ance into any scheme Of religion and
we are suspicious of the man who is
ready to give wholesale condemnation
70 all who do not subscribe to his par
ticular creed. The man who is SIN
cere believer recognizes that charity
is essential. and charity must be all
embracing in order to be effective.
Your religion may not be mine, but
lust as long as you are doing your full
dutv as husband. father and citizen
as long as you are living up to the
laws laid down by God and man-why
should any blame be given to you be
cause we travel on different roads
The religion which makes bigots has
something lacking, and the worshlpers
who mistake the form of real religion
for the substance do not understand
the meaning of real Christianity. The
great thing is the religion you live OF
the streets, in your home and in the
ordinary walks of life. Are you hon
est? Do you appreciate what brother
hood means? Is your charity so dee
that it is a part of your being an
mot something to be put on for parade
If YOU are all that and the life tina
, YOU are living is such that youth ca
t take you as a model to advantage
, then your creed is of little momer
: and you are doing a thousandfol
5 more good than is the bigot who fee

BenlnQ IUC ONSISS'
For more than year during the
Lorimer controversy, the name OF
Hines had been the overshadowing
one in connection with every grand
Jury investigation, every trial in the
courts every inquiry by legislatures
or their agents. Hines had frankly
gone to Washington to take charge OF
the Lorimer lobby when Lorimer'
seat was in controversy Hines mad
been talked about in committee rooms
and grand Jury rooms and prosecuting
attorneys offices. Week after week.
Hines had been pointed out in the gal
Ieries of the senate at Washington,
and in the cafes of the capital city, as
the real man behind the scenes, the
maker of Lorimer, the tinancier OF
the Chicago boss senatorial ambitions
Yet until he was summoned before
the Helm committee, Hines had never
been called upon by any authority to
teu what he knew. He had never been
subpoenaed or placed under oath II
