divided into different branches, in
Guiding Common Law, Commercial
Law, Civil Law, Maritime Law and
international Law, each being but
the defining of the duties man owes
to man in each subdivision. In ad-
dition to these there is the moral
law. or law of duty as regards to
what constitutes right and wrong
in the sight Of God.
Each individual today owes a
duty toward his community in re-
turn for the preservation of his own
life and property and the protection
accorded the lives and property of
his loved ones. He who is remiss in
this duty and preys upon others I'M
der the cloak of their protection,
strikes blow at the very heart of
all law and order and jeopardizes
not only himself but his loved ones
as we'll, for while the laws today
may clearly define duty, still the
real duty a man owes to the mem
bers of his community is the same
today as it was during the Stone
Age when that first gathering of
prehistoric men, without the slight
est idea of law, banded together for
mutual protection.

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.

Editor The Roanoke Times:
Is Tom Watson sincere in his at
tack on Catholicism or is it mere
publicity that he wants? If the lat
ter is his object he will probably
get it. He is a Socialist and it is a
Well-known fact that Socialism and
Catholicism are at war between
themselves.
Which would be the real evil if
given control of this government?
Catholicism or Socialism? Social
ism, as the name applies, might be
all right, burt Socialism, as it really
is, would mean the destruction of
any government Of which it ever
gained control. Watson tells us
that the Catholics are seeking and
are actually obtaining public Offices
IN large numbers. Perhaps they
are. Why, in the name of this free
country, should they not if they can
get the votes? The Protestants are
In large majority. If a Catholic is
elected to public Office who elects
him?
The fact is, that a large percent
age of the Roman Catholics of the
United States are Irish or descend
ants of Irish. These Irishmen are
really alive in both national and
civic affairs. The Irish immigration
has practically put the United States
where it is today, not only political
ly but commercially. Take the sons
of France, Spain, and other CONT
mental countries. When we have to
select statesman, councilman, rail
road president, or brakeman we
should, and usually do, look for a
man who cen fill the job, regardless
OF his religious belief or inclinations.
Those American citizens who still
remain unwarped by prejudice and
deiuslon are capable Of Judging real
merit and rewarding it.

Irishman nor u Socialist, but a

decree is to the effect that two
Catholics Or a Catholic and Protest
ant shall not be considered married
unless Roman Catholic priest Off
ciates or gives his consent-why
did not Mr.. Bryan call attention to
this decree overriding our laws and
and void?
AS the Pope has promulgated
another decree, Motu Proprio, that
any person who brings to Justice be-
fore our courts a priest or official
of the Romish Church SHAH be ex-
communicated, why did not Mr..
Bryan offer resolution to the effect
that it shall be punishable for a
citizen, even though he be Roman
Catholic, knowingly to refuse to as
sist the law in bringing to justice
persons committing crimes or civil
offenses, notwithstanding that such
persons may be priests or church
officials
Last but not least, why did not
Mr.. Bryan propose a resolution de-
claring for an amendment to the
naturalization law to the effect that
no person belonging to any religious
organization which denounces a Re-
publican form of Government and
which promulgates DEGREES aimed to
oppose and override the laws of the
United States, or to efgender dis
respect to the civil institutions
thereof, shall be naturaliZed and
enjoy the privilege of the ballot UNI
less he solemnly declare that no al
legiance be due and none shall be
given by him to such religious or
ganlzation except as to spiritual
affairs. Such an amendment to the
immigration laws would politically
free all future Roman Catholic i'm
migrants from the merciless power
Of Rome over them except as to reli-
gious matters. No longer could
Rome tell them how to vote. No
longer would Rome gain any advan-
tage by flooding this country with
ignorant immigrants. No longer
would Rome gain any advantage by
opposing, as she is at the present
and has done in the past, the pas
sage through our Congress of an i'm
migration law restricting the admis-
sion of illiterate foreigners.
Failing to advocate any planks
that would be distasteful to the
Church of Rome, or to interfere
with her political growth here, Mr..
Bryan, as the leading member of
the resolution committee, has made
another blunder, and if you take his
conduct at the Democratic Conven-
ton as a whole, must you not, Mr..
Brown. admit that w. J. BRYAN an
pears more as an ally to the Roman
Hierarchy, because of wasted oppor-
tunities, sphinx-like silence and un-
patriotic idleness, than he appears,
as you attempt to make us believe,
as a member of that army in which
you and I have enlisted peacefully
to repel the attempts of Rome to
overthrow the institutions of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

look" of November 4, 1911, ex-
pressed hope that sometime the
Church would have a Roman Catho-
lie President for this country.
Roosevelt declared, at the Cardinals
Golden Jubilee, that there would be
time when Catholic would preside
over this Nation. Taft has at
tempted to demonstrate that there
is no need of the Hierarchy wish
ing for a Roman Catholic President.
because he will as freely grant fav-
ors asked by the Hierarchy as any
other President, but Mr. Bryan was
willing at the Democratic Conven-
ton to Guido these other party
leaders by declaring in favor of and
pledging to assist the election of a
Roman Catholic nominee for the
executive Office. Thus, Mr.. Bryan
committed his second blunder and
showed that he was not alive to the
menace of the political activities of
the Romanish Church.
Taking up now the third blunder,
Mr.. Brown, which your incompara-
BILE Mr.. Bryan made, we turn to him
as drafter of the platform. If he
Catholic Hierarchy, as you seem to
think, Mr.. Brown, why did he not
draft some planks for the Conven-
ton to adopt, reaff1rming and pledg-
ing support to such American prin-
ciples as separation of Church and
State, preservation of free speech,
free press and freedom of con-
science? Why did he not reaffirm
Democratic faith in the public
schools as the bulwark of American
liberties, or declare against the ap-
preparation of public funds for sec
tartan purposes, or declare for the
taxing Of all real estate held by
churches and religious organiza-
tions? Why did he not propose a
resolution to insure the purity of
the ballot, in a manner that would
be logical step in ADVANCE of the
laws compelling the publication of
campaign expenses of candidates,
by the enactment of law making it
a penal offense for a priest or spiri-
tual adviser of any religion to CON
troll, attempt to control, or inf1u-
ence the vote of any member of
such priests or spiritual advisers
following. This practice of con-
trolling or coercing members of re-
ligious bodies to vote in particular
manner is just as much offensive to
the sense Of honesty as the pur-
chase of votes by money, by which
former practice of his opponents
Bryan himself has suffered repeated
defeats. Yet he has not endeavored
to discover a remedy, but blindly
recognized the power of the prist-
controlled portion of the Roman
Catholic vote and caters to it in the
hope that it may be secured for sue
cess of the Democratic party.

at Atlanta, has much of in
terest in it, each issue.
The following editorial on Duty
is by the editor-in-chief, and is
worthy space in any publication.
He's true to God who's true to man:
wherever wrong is done
TO the humblest and the weakest
meath the all-beholding sun,
That wrong is also done to u.s. and
they are slaves most base
Whose love of rights is for them
selves, and not for all their
race.
James Russell Lowell.
In the prehistoric days of the
Stone Age, during the paleoIithic
era and prior to that time, the races
OF men inhabiting the earth were
compelled to fend for themselves.
During that period, alone man
fought the giant cave bear, the
dinosauria, the mammoth and the
mastodon. He stole his mate by
force; and was compelled to protect
his possessions by fighting single
handed against the depredations of
his neighbors. It was then with
the human race, as with the savage
beasts, an era of the survival of the
fittest, fitness being but brute force
directed by human cunning.
Finally there came a time when
some of these prehistoric men con-
gregated together that they might
the better protect themselves, or
perhaps some prehistoric Caesar con-
vinced them that they could conquer
and levy on others to a better ad-
vantage in body. We know not
which motive it was that drew them
together into what at that time
must have been the first community
of human being on the earth There
were no laws to govern them, though
doubtless there existed a tacit I'M
derstanding between the members,
that they would refrain from plum
dering one another and that the
community as whole would combat
their mutual foes, each risking his
life and limb in battle to protect,
not alone his own mate and off
spring, but also those of the whole
community, in return for their aid
in helping him protect what be-
1onged to him, including his loved
ones.
It was thus that mankind first
conceived an idea of what consti-
tuted duty, or moral obligation. In
return for the protection accorded
his family and property he was duty
bound to respect the lives and
property of the members of the
community Doubtless others
emulated their example and estab-
lished other communities for their
mutual protection, but each member
must have recognized, in some man
ner, his duty toward the other mem
bers, for had they pillaged each
other it would have resulted in
their determination. At times, no
doubt, some member, taking advan-
tage of the protection accorded his
property, would seize the opportuni-
ty to plumber the others by stealth.
When caught he was, no doubt,
killed and his property confiscated
for the joint benefit of the COM
munity, or, perhaps, in case Of
doubt, he and those dependent upon
him were driven out of the band
and left to care for themselves.
Thus it was that the first unwritten
laws were established, and as it was
in those days so it is today:
mans loved ones are forced to suffer
for his dereliction of duty.
