There is now little heard of the

1t is safe to say the solid vote of
Virginia, excepting possibly Congress
man Slemp, who has not made clear
his intentions within the past few
days, would be cast for resolution
expressing confidence in President
Wilson's handling of our foreign af-
fairs and advising that while the Sit

for Americans to stay off belligerent
armed vessels.
Senator Claude A. Swanson went
over to the floor fthe House this
week and rounded up most Of the
Virginia members, took them to the
cloak room. where they sat down and
discussed the situation for sometime.
1t was the first time Senator Swanson
had appeared on the House floor in
many months.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Baltimore SUM

We are frank to say we are glad
that the bill to compel the reading OF
the Bible IN the publicI schools failed
in the House Of Delegates. It was an
;Il-adviSed measure and never should
have been introduced. Children in tie
public schools come from households
which represent all varieties OF re-
ii-'ous faith and of TO faith 1T all,
and there is 10 manner Of doubt that
me parents Of many of them serious
~ object to anything which savnrs OF
Interference with their particular
views. There are various versions
cs the Biblc--the Catholic VERSION,
thc revised Protestant version, the
.iing james version and the Jewish
version. The selection Of any one =;
these as a textbook would hav strong
~ offended large number Of per
sons.
The public schools were not estab-
lished to iGcllcate any forr OF re-
ligicn. The churches ard the homes
arc the places fer that. The attempt
To force the 3 bic into the schools was
in its essence. if not in It's intent an
attack on religious liberty. 1t was
another manifestation Of the modern
tanatic.sm that insists on making
other people believe as you do.
We consider the Bible the great
est book in the world, and it would
:,e delighted if everybody. including
the members Of the Maryland Legis-
iature. read it every day consc:enti-
ously ard Understandings. But we DO
not believe that religion Or virtue
can be forced on the world at the
point of the legislative bayonet, ANA
VIC believe that the right to freedom
Of religious choice is the most sacr-
ed and fundamental known among
men.

Either MIR. Bryan did not believe
what he said May IS, 1915, or he does
not believe what he says now. The

he affirmed at the beginning of the

TAKING RISK ON ARMED SHIPS
Senator Gore)

The progress of civilization consists
of the withdrawal of individual rights
when they become incompatible with
The paramount interests or organized
society.
It is perhaps true that any one Of
;hc 100.G00,G0O American citizens has
a right to travel on an armed mer-
chart ship. He has the right to run
The risk of losing his life and ingulf-
ing this republic in sea of carnage
and blood, but | believe that the 100
100000 citizens have right to be
protected against his rccklcssness.
The right of 1O0.0O0,GO0 to be pro-
tcctad from butchcry is not to be
weighed in The balance with the sacr-
cd and Inherited right to inpcril his
oTn life. ] doubt if the senator from
Massachusetts would consent that a
child Of his lo;ns should embark up
or the armed vessel OF Il bclligcrcnt
.,owcr.
Let nc put case Suppose that
1000 American citizens embark upon
, ORC OF these armed vessels. 1t IS
sunk by Il German submarine. in

had a right to sink the ship and tc
