"h NJ IL4CllIS VI 1CuGOllC, Anglo
Saxon law, but it is autagonistit
to the monatic law of the Roman
Catholic church.
The Unltedl States Constitution
guarans 3es % eacl State re-
pu bilcal form Of government
and, to each citizen, freedom from
involuntary serviyude. except as
Il punishment for crime, after
legal conviction.
And then the State owes it tc
herself TO see thai no private per.
son or private institution confn-
es, against his or her will, for
labor or otherwise, any boy or
girl, an man or woman.
To the Sta-e belongs the right
Of visitation, as a part of her
sovereignty and necessary police
power: and this historic right
she may exercise over all educa-
tional, ind ustrial, charitable, and
foundations.
The State has the right to visit,
inspect, and Investigate all pri-
vate institutions, wherein per-
sons are held in confinement
whether at work or not-for the
purpose c. sanitation, and public
morals, as we'll as to learn Wheth-
er Involuntary servitude, or
forciblo oetention, is being suffer
ed by any human being, in the
name of religion.
The Voa3ey bill goes no farther
than the king has immemorlally
gone il E3elaul, in examing into
CHARITIES, spitals, con-
vents and mCnasteries.
The Foa4y bill applies exactly
the same process OF state super
vision to R2manist institutions,
that it applies to Protestant in,
stitutions.
But Bishop Kelley declares: in
/ published communication, that
lis foreign church will not obey
his State law. He says that he
will permit one visit, under his
own terms, at a time which he
selects; aud that, after this one
visit, he will lock the doors of
Romes converts, monasteries,
Gsod Shepherd sWeatshops, ETC.,
against the tate.
He insolently says, in effect,
that the sovereign State has no
