SOCIETY. - Society as it is and
what it should be is what all should
think over. Here is my view of it,
which may be different from that Of
the majority:
The puffed up society of today is
composed chiefly of non-producers
who prey upon the producers. We
workers have no right to call our
selves ''We," for when some great
question arises that would bring all
individuals in the right grade of So
ciety the swells pipe out: eve are
the people and we alone have a right
to the whole loaf" We workers have
a right to vote if we wish to, but that
is about as far as it goes, and we
may beef all we may.
1t has often been said by the aris-
tocrats that the common workers are
no better than cattle, and that's the
society they belong in, but they'll find
out different in the future, when, by
some system of teaching, even the
most ignorant of the workers win be
wise enough to tell their prosecutors

RELIGION AND POLlTICS.-Why
keep religion out of politics? And
how is it possible to keep it out of
politics? Is the human mind divided
into several water-tight compart-
ments, so that religion can be con-
fined in one compartment, politics in
another, etc.?
Any man who has a strong convic-
ton upon, any subject whatever will
act according to that conviction in
politics or outside of it. A religious
man believes that others must believe
as he Especially as to unknown
and unknowable 'things'') must be-
long to his church, must repeat the
phrases that he repeats, in order to be
a good citizen in this life and escape
from everlasting he'll in the next. For
this reason he feels justified in fore
ing his belief and his religion" upon
others through politics and other
means.
The Inquisition in the middle ages
was the logical attempt Of the church
to save the souls of "heretics" and
unbeIievers from everlasting damna-
ton. It tortured to death thousands
upon thousands Of human being, but
it was logical according to the ortho-
dox Christian teaching, Believe or
be damnedw
1 am tired of all this slushy talk
about keeping religion out Of poll
tics" If politics is that activity by
which we establish and maintain our
human relations it offers a most
splendid opportunity for any force
that stands for righteousness, justice
and humanity to work and manifest
itself. Politics needs justice, right
eousness, honor, truth, humanity
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-03-25

and everything that is good. If re,
Igion is ga good thing" it should
therefore be allowed to enter poll
tics for all it is worth. If it is an evil
it should not only be chased out Of
politics, but should be eradicated and
destroyed wherever found.
The testimony Of Catholics, Prot
estants and ratiOnaTsts seems to
prove that religion is an evil beast
that must be mUzZled and Gagged in
some dark corner Of the basement
whenever any public question is to be
discussed and decided. They all cry:
Keep religion out Of politics. Each
accuses the other of letting loose this
beast, and each one protest most
vehemently that he has got him in
strong cage!
Religion cannot be an evil and
curse inside of politics and blessing
elsewhere. To chase religion away
from politics at election and allow it
to hatch and replenish elsewhere,
only to appear again at the next cleo
ton, is the worst kind Of folly
Theodore johnson, 1916 Race aY.

This shows that the poor have
some conscience left and our charity
workers should get busy and prevent
them being led into temptation.
Of course, we have no right to
amend our constitution except it is
done in the way the dead Of the past
said it must be done, and charity is
the only way to save the consciences
of poverty-stricken legislators. -
