THE SANCTlTY OF OBEDIENCE
The Keota news., 1916-09-01

All this was in keeping with Cardinal
Gibbons admonition: obedience Gre
ates harmony between those in author
ity and those in subjection. So he
says it is sinful and disobedient to
strike or manifest any rsbellious symp-
toms. Servants obey your masters. {"
Well, this has been the solemn warn
ing Of Kings, Cardinals. and Captains
Of Industry al these years. OF course
the working man must practice obsdi-
enee,-he il one Of the lower classes.
We all deplors strikes; and yet =
change il coming over the world. Pub
lie sentiment, somehow, b beginning to
demand that even the working classes
must Be taken into consideration. We
are beginning to hear good deal about
community work, public education, etc.
We are beginning to wonder If that
rough fellow in overalls may not, after
all. have soul. If hs spends his best
days in our service has he not, there
fore, claim on our consideration!
The public is reading now, and =
reading man thinks. The methods Of
twenty years ago will not do today.
There 10 change coming over us AN
evolution. None knows where it will
lead to. Such things ~ strikes bring
out cold sweat on men like Cardinal
Gibbons. and cause them to have night
mares in their sleep. But the poor
man has never gotten anything in this
world without fight. He knows what
the practice Of obedience brings. Car
dinal Gibbons is too late with his mes
sage. He should have spent three or
four years in his younger days working
for large corporation, and perhaps he
would not now find all virtue embodied
in the word Obedience.
Let's remember too that while the
demands Of union men sometimes seem
unjust yet they have to demand big
things in order to get anything.
Twenty years ago ideas like rural
credits, government supervision of in
dustries, ETC., sounded like the ire
sponsible dreams of long haired popu-
lists. Today they are discussed by the
thinking men of the entire nation.
When the farmers all organize and
demand certain prices for their prod
ucts and get them it will b bad for the
ancient doctrine of obedience. When
the laborers form body and say what
their work 10 worth the better class
es" will point to this as the dissolution
of social order and mot pleasing to
God.
In this picture of time which il fast
coming some will see the hated aspects
of socialism. Lots Of US are not work
ing for socialism, are not on the So
cialist band-wagon. But if the re-
versed conditions spoken of will be
that, we exclaim, in the words of a
great disciple Of disobedience, "Let it
come, we repeat it Sir, let it come"

THE sANCTlTY OF OBEDIENCE
ByW. s Tya~
Cardinal Gibbons. in . recent inter
view. il reported - saying: IF We
have strikes the poor will be hurt, and
naturally my sympathies are with the
poor. Obedience sanctifiss the whole
action Of man. 1t creates harmony be-
tween those in authority and those in
subsection, and creates social order
pleasing to God, the source of all au.
thority."
In the above expression from the
head Of the Catholic church in America
we have IN example Of 4 mental atti-
tude which is characteristic of the sys-
TEN which he represents, as well ~ Of
some other systems. Let our politics
Be what they may, truth compels US to
admit that society 10 largely made up
Of two classes ruling and working,
labor and capital, employer and en-
ployee, name them ~ you please. We
will not 60 the length of the socialist
who calls it master and slave.
Since time began there has been fric-
ton between the two, and all our laws
and civilization have availed little to
harmonic the relation between them,
a. daily outbreaks prove.
The eminent Cardinal assures US that
obedience sanctifies the action Of
man." George the Third assured the
American colonists Of the same fact,
and the German rulers are preaching it
to the Belgians and Poles today. True,
the cases are not parallel. exactly, but
the Cardinals advice must seem loaded
with danger to many thinking people in
America.
This question of labor and capital is,
a. al know, one of the greatest prob
lens of the day. Between the classes
there has long been q gulf fixed. Say
you had some money, built up an indus
try, hired men for as little as you
could, worked them as long AZ they
would stand it, and this was all good
business. All concerned were Amer
leans, and If they didn't like your meth
DDS they had the God-given right to
quit If you didn't like them you could
''fire the whole works" any old time
YOU pleased. You lived in q mansion
up on the hill. and belonged to the ex-
elusive circles. If these men had
coarse diet and lived in unsanitary
quarters it was no business Of yours.
If their children grew up ignorant and
depraved, If illness came to their fam
lilies and left them on charity, why they
were of the lower classes, and it was
not incumbent on you to look after
them. In this order of things the
strong lived and thrived, the weak
went to the wall. In the south those
who failed at farming moved to the
cotton mills. At 6 a. m. the big bell
called them to work. From nine years
old up they responded. The bell at z
o. m. announced q days work done.
In the coal mines, the department
stores. the railroad shops, everywhere,
it has been the same. We were all
Americans. 1t was our business to
hire folks for as little as we could, and
they were free-born citizens and could
