amount is directed to the prevention
of disease. This is altogether made
Quate.
Expert opinion is that an eXpendi-

against the preventable diseases and
for health education would reduce the
annual death rate two points per thou

the expectation of life possibly five

Urges Religious Liberty.


The greatest illusion extant in the
United States today is the belief that
we enjoy religious liberty. in the opin-
ion of Alfred :. DiffenbaCh, editor of
tho Christian Register. who sees the
alleged unavaila bility of Gov. Smith
for the presidency on account of his
church affiliations, as the outStand-
ing active denial of our constitutional
guarantee of religious liberty.
The only thing that can save us
from the erection of a State church
throughout the country. he said. land
thus establishment Of a virtual mon
arChy in the heart of a democracy, is
for the churches to teach and preach
the doctrines of liberty rather than
encourage the spirit Of intolerance
born of SeCtarian propaganda. In a
country where 80 per cent of the peO-
pie are fundamentalistS, and where
the power of the ballot is supreme in
rejecting the will of the ma jority, it
is conceivable that the example of
Tennessee will be made universal.
NO laws or constitutional proVis-
ions can safeguard mems freedom of
conscience when the will of the ma
iority can make it impossible for a
man to enjoy the fun spiritual rights
of citizenship if his beliefs are diff
ferent. The same ugly, tyrannouS dis
position that we fought to a finish
$50 years ago has entered into our
own lives since the war, and we treat
the minority with utter ruthlessness.
Holds Reformation Needed.
There is nothing in the Federal
Constitution that can prevent the eX-
ercise of whatever domination ma
iority of voters may care to exercise
IN religion. The religious liberal in
Tennessee is subjected to social, po-
litcal and economic persecution, al
though the guarantee of freedom of
conscience is incorporated in the laws
of the State"
DeplorinG the Indifference of the
liberia minded .ChurChgoers to the
situation. he declared that he knew
of no single outstanding figure in the
church today brave enough to declare
and stand fast for soul liberty.

ties collected by the library shall be
turned over to the collector of taxes
and deposited in the Treasury to the
credit of the District, instead of being
spent directly by the trustees of the
library for maintenance.

that the library must obtain the ap-
preparation before renting a branch
building.
The report of the conferees is read, y
for presentation to the Senate and

feature of the bill is that it lays down
basic law for the gradual expansion
of the library system in order that
reading material may be made avail

required all residents of Maryland
and Virginia to pay fees for the with
drawal of books. They will recon-
mend that the House accept the SEN
ate language, providing that out
siders who are employed or attend
ing school in the District may use
the library without. charge. Outsiders
not employed or attending school here
will pay the regular fees for books.
Although the House conferees were
successful in sustaining the amend
ment preventing the trustees from
using directly the fees and penalties
for library maintenance, they ex-
pressed the belief that such sums as
the library may need for making
change In the collection of fees and
for the purchase of pamphlets, ETC.,
could be provided for in the annual
appropriation bill. Since this provision
of the law will not become effective
until the end of the fiscal year 1927.
the library trustees will have an op-
pOrtunity to present these mainte-
nance items when the next set of
estimates are being prepare at the
