BIGOTRY.

When the term bigot is used
among us 1t is usually attributed to-
ward our dissenting brothers. Does
Il ever enter into some heads that
we have bigots in our own COM
munion? Bigotry is shameful and
detestable thing. Catholics who nave
suffered from bigotry should abhor
and shun It. 1t should be their hope
and prayer that the members OF dill
ferent religions should learn the
lessons of brotherly kindness, CHAR
lty and friendship which their Divine
Master taught. To make condition
of the religion of a man, shivering
with cold, without food to eat, when
he asks for aims is not charity. II
is a mockery of religion. A man
asking employment, why should his
religion interfere with his getting a
situation? With fair-dealing Chris
tians 1t should not be question OF
religion, but OF fitness and WORTH
ness. To make religion a disqualifi-
cation for office is not only opposed
TO the principle of religious equality
and that liberty so much lauded and
so little practiced, but is persecution
for conscience sake. All this Is
bigotry, which is as contemplate as
II is unjust; and it forms no part
whatsoever with Christianity.
Bigotry is a proof Of ignorance and
vulgarity. IL marks the lowest type
of the man and at the same time the
most ignorant. That which we so
despise in others should have no part
with us.-Pittsburg Catholic.

There was a tendency during the
recent session of the Legislature to
increase salaries and 70 create SAL
arie1 Offices. This may or may not
be necessary, but one Office overlooked
which would seem to merit atten-
tion is that of our District Consta-
bles. In this district, for an ex-
ample, the Office is going begging
because "there is not enough in it''
to Justify the time and energy ex-
pended to say nothing of the risk
and jeopardy of life such as the
officer is often called upon''to assume.
There is no Office that touches so
closely the people as that of High
Constable. He Is needed in every
community, but in this district at
least, the small income he gets from
fees does not make it worth while.
We contend and have contended that
this should be a salaried office and
should be made worth the while to
get our best men to serve. The
same might be said of our Justices
of the Peace and District Collectors.
Abolish the fee system of payment
and let the fees be turned into the
county or State and have all these
Offices placed on salary basis. At
present Smyrna and vicinity is with
out constable and it does not seem
probable that a good man can be in
duced to give up better paying op-
por Gunities to risk his time in such
a poorly paid Office. Really the
constableship of our communities is
getting to be a serious matter.

A resident on East Commerce
street wants the pos tofice building
built on the Robert Wilson lot.
Quite natural. Everybody wants it
inthis or that place, but when all is
said, the Government will determine
and have the say. Who knows but
with the prospect of the DUPONT
Boulevard striking between Smyrna
and Clayton, that the Federal Build
ing may yet be placed on the basket
mill lot or even further west, that
in years to come the magnificent
Federal Building with letter car
riers' service, may be used for both
Smyrna and Clayton. Let US have
the Federal Building-we have long
since waived our choice in the matter
for the sake of getting it.

The refusal of the Legislature to

sent at least, we'll afford to save
