creed by the early Fathers Of the
church. They show us at first a
very disunited array; they are di-
Yided into sectS as hostile as only
theologiens can be; and the earliest
picture of them is the chaotic
council of Nice, where, in the year
325, orthodox fought about Homo
ousion and Homoi-ousion until
Constantine, with the good sense
OF a man CT the world, brought the
dispute to an end by the pre-emp-
tory suggestion that the combatants
should agree on some creed, no
matter what.
Arius and Origen, who had re-
ceived a Greek educat ton defended
Unitarian faith; but AthanaSius
had more eloquence, and more del
egateS, and the Nicean creed
pledged Europe to polytheism once
more. So it was Constantine who
founded the united and Catholic
Church.
The most powerful of the Fathers
ana the one whose influence pre-
dominated throughout the Middle
Ages. was Augustine. He was born
in $40 and died in 430.
He was an African, coming from
Tagaste in Numidia. His mother
was a very pious orthodox Chris
tian: but Augustine preferred the
heresy of Manicheans, who adopted
from Persia the conception of two
rival dieties, one good and the other
evil, dividing the world between
them.
This same individuality of char
acter, which expressed itself in
heterodoXy. found further outlet in
a life of considerable irregularity.

Respecting Americans

It's international train running from Vienna
Paris. At 1880 in the morning it is to pass from
Swiss into French territory.
Some of the passengers are much exercised. The
French are more particular than they used to be.
The customs officers are more insstent upon seeing
whether the traveller is bringing goods into
France. Everybody is nervous except the lone Amer
lean. He goes to his bunk in peace.
And when the courteous French douane officer
opens his door, flashes the light full his face, and
asks the usual questions the Yank sleepy opens
eye and droWsily says:
American going to London"
THANK you, monsieur.
His ordeal is over. It's still an open sesame
to be American. Our own customs officers may
go the theory that all Americans are smugglers,
actual possible. but the French still believe in
honesty.

Obstacle to Smith

If Senator Walsh desires to throw
obstacles in the way of Governor
Smiths nomination, he has chosen
the right course. If not, he is merely
wasting time.
Contemplating such a venture, he
should have made it known long be-
fore, preferably right after the 1924
convention.
His entrance into the field at this
late hour, looks too much like a sec
ond thought, or an attempt to clut-
ter up the stage, while the way ID
seems to accord with McAdoos
wishes is peculiarly unfortunate.
Senator Walsh is not adding I'd
his laurels. DiSinterested or inn
personal as his attitude may be, he
leaves people little choice but tn
interpret his candidacy as a maneu~
yer against Smiths.

The Richmond Item

George RemuS, who appears to
delight in the title Bootleg King"
continues his efforts to get out of
an insane hospital at Lima. Ohio.
He doesn't agree with the judge
who held him insane. even though
he was acquitted of murder after
he had pleaded insanity.
Now Remus produces alieniSts
who hold that he is sane and,
therefor, entitled to his freedom
in view of the fact that he was
declared innocent of the murder
with which he was charged.
That is one of the things about
American justice that would be
funny if it were not so tragic.
Here is man, wealthy and used
to the luxuries of life, who killed
his wife. He didn't even do it
quietly-he pursued her by auto
mobile into a public park and shot
her down as she begged him to be
calm. And now he wants his
liberty.
Regardless of what excuse he
may have had in his own mind for
his violent act, Remus is not en-
titled to his freedom. 1t is charac-
tiers such as he that make this
country dangerous place in
which to live, at times.
South Bend News-Times
The original Ku-KluX Khan,
born in 1866 and disbanded in 1859
after but three years of existence,
fell because of its own terrorism.
Formed for the purpose of COM
batting the evil element of carpet
Dagger and scalawag control, it
was successful only so long as wise
and powerful leaders held it to
that purpose.
But when it's local "dens" fell
into the hands of radicals and ter
rorists, its own mission of bringing
order out of chaos was defeated.
The case of the modern Khan
runs Strikingly parallel, although
it lacked from the outset the
spiritual force that animated the
organization of Nathan Bedford
Forrest.
In other words, while the orig
inal Khan was instituted as a
measure of reprisal against carpet
oaggers, the modern Khan was
largely organized and officered by
men who were carpet-baggers
themselves.

example. If ever man resembled

Dull Old DAYS

With all her achievements, science
constantly leaves us standing on
the edge Of a precipice, but that is
what makes life so interesting.
Time was when people lived for
generations without so much as ever
getting acquainted with a new idea,
or believing that new ideas were pos
sible.
The crusaders had no better food,
clothing or arms than the Roman
Legions a thousand years before, if
as good.
Dull days these must have been,
even though some Of our high-brows
do glorify them.

Blackmer and O'Neil are referred
to as men without a country"
That is not quite true, though one
could wish it were.
They not only have a country, but
far more generous one than they
deserve.
That country gives them a day in
the very court they have Knocked and
permits hired lawyers to plead in
their behalf before the very tribunal
they have refused to obey.

otism, they would be Inundated be-

OF all persons connected with the
Oil scandal, Blackmer and ONeil
cut the sorriest figure.
Head they faced the music with
sealed lips, like Colonel Stewart, or
taken chances with contempt, like
Sinclair, they could at least be
credited with nerve, but they did
not leave even that shred of conso-
lation for their families, friends and
associates.

ran like scared rabbits-ran and hid

Khan was fairly thorough. The

long before deserted it, and the
general order of disbandment
was carried out except in some
communities where the radicals
were still in control.

that within a few years the move
ment was dead and forgotten.

Walsh for President

1t is impossible to think of the
Teapot Dome oil scandal, without
recalling the great fight Senator
Walsh of Montana has made to
clear up this disgraceful affair.
Under ordinary circumstances,
not only Democrats, but everyone
else would rejoice to see Senator
Walsh put forward as presidential
candidate.
AS things now stand, however, his
candidacy only adds to the con-
fusion Of an already confused sit
uation.

Slayer of Sons

OF all crimes, those rooted in
abused confidence are the hardest TO
forgive.
1t is easy to understand how hate
or jealousy can lead to murder, but
when the faith of a little child or
the love Of a good woman is made
the basis Of it, you are stumped.
No wonder that Chicago father
who drowned his two little boys by
telling them they would see their
grandmother if they jumped into the
canal was driven mad by remorse.

hand with achievement.

EQAbOL AlllCS.
Charles NJ. Grammer, writing in
this column, says, How comes the
farmers want help, does the city fell
low who has TO work get help?" 1
presume he means to ask whether
the city man gets help from the
Government through legislation-I
answer YES, he does, Does any
sane person believe the wage learners
of this country would be receiving
the high wages they are receiving if
we had no law limiting immigration
to this country?
The manufacturers are receiving
world prices for their products, due
to our tariff laws; the wage-earners
are receiving higher wages. due to
our immigration laws, and the rail-
roads are receiving higher rates, due
to our laws regulating railroad
charges. All these things make the
farmer pay more for all he must buy
and also makes his taxes higher.
But when the farmer asks for
legislation-the McNary- Haugen bill
designed to make him receive the
world price plus the tariff for his
product, the same as the manufac-
turers do. he is accused of asking for
special privileges.
The farmers are not asking for
charity, but for justice. If the spe-
cial privileges accorded to the three
classes above named are withdrawn,
the farmer will withdraw his de-
mand for the same priv!Ree. He can
then take care of himself.
