Smith might, Of course, have been
defeated by the normal Republican
ascendancy if there had been no
question Of his religion, but that is
beside the point. What we are alone
concerned with is the tremendous
vote against him that is accountable
for only on the score of enmity ia
his religion. As it happens, this
vote would probably have elected Mr.
Hoover If he had spent the summer
in seclusion at Palo Alto without
making single speech, and If the
Republican National committee had
saved its campaign millions. and if
its less scrupulous members had re-
Trained from carrying on a vile
under-cover anti Catholic drive.
"Well, we have always known Of
this current Of hostility to the church
in this country. We are not facing
something new. The poll Of the
people this year does reveal for the
first time how wide and strong the
under-current is. 1t should stimu-
late rather than discourage US. We
must recognize this senseless fear
and undeserved suspicion and un.
worthy hate as a challenge to all
that is best in us as Catholic citi-
zens. Governor Smith has given his
country an example of public service
courage and uncompromising devo.
ton to both his religious and polit.
ical convictions that it cannot forget
Each of us in his own humble fash.
ion must do the same. Time will dc
the rest.
"The Catholic church is Americas
noblest possession, as it is the
worlds. Sooner or later America
will awaken to the Importance OF
this fact. Since Columbus found
these shores, since the first mission
aries planted the seeds Of Christian
faith here. since Carroll, the Catholic
signed the Declaration of Independ-
ence, the history of the church has
been written in the long, stainless
record of great deeds, solid virtue
charity, industry and unfailing pa
triotism. This record is our heritage
and we shall be worthy Of it in the
degree to which we now faithfully
practice our religion and begin anew
to show our watching neighbors by
our words and actions the high
standard of good citizenship that the
teachings of the Catholic church
exact from its members.
when the angry passions of our
enemies have subsidized they will real
ize as cooler heads did long ago that
the church has not lifted a finger
to further the political fortunes OF
one of it's members. The attitude
Of our Bishops and priests has been
beyond reproach. Speaking Of the
campaign just before the election
the New York Times said: with
out going back now to its unpleasina
and humiliating aspects it may be
said thankfully that it has been
spared one thing which would have
made it far more angry and repuls-
i've. We refer to the fact that Cath
olics have exhibited such wonderful
restraint under attacks upon their
church. They have kept silent even
in the face of notorious misrepre-
sentation and calumny.' To this we

A POLL OF PREJUDICE

"No soothsayer is needed to find
The meaning of what happened in the
presidential election. The immense
tide of popular feeling that swept
Governor Smith to defeat has but
one explanation, fear of and hatred
for the Catholic church. In the face
of such numbers it is idle to talk of
prohibition and prosperity as con-
trolling factors. These and all other
campaign tags prove to have been
mere irrelevancies. There was just
one overmastering issue in the minds
of the great majority of the Protes-
tant people, north, south, east and
west. It was religion.
"The day before the election some
body sent to us in plain envelope
q little church paper published by a
Lutheran minister in st. Paul for
the members of his congregation. At
the end of his leading article, on
Rome and Religious Liberty were
quoted these words of Martin Luther,
God fill us with hatred against the
pope We speak of this trifling in
cident simply because it is symp.
tomato Of what ais the country.
Professionalism was born of hate for
the Catholic church and the ancient
animosity persists to this day in the
sects, consciously or unconsciously
motivating the thoughts and actions
of otherwise sensible and well-mean-
ing men and women. 1t is a Deep
seated and stubborn state of mind
that seems utterly closed to reason.
$50 when the silent millions, about
whome political speculation had been
rife, swarmed to the polls on Tues

smite the church Of which Governor
Smith is a member. The Demo
cratic candidate has by all odds the
Most persuasive personality in

enthusiasm unlike anything ever

the budget system one of much sat

"Since honesty is the best policy,
it might just as well be admitted
that vacations may be good for the

COL. CHAS. A. uNDBEROH'S Own

The first parachute was built by
a Frenchman in 1874. This para
chute was rigid structure covered
with very strong paper and fabric.
1t was used in jump from a build
ing in Paris.
About a year later, the same type
of parachute was dropped from a
hot air balloon in England. soon
jumps began to be made from
balloons with other types Of rigid
parachutes
About 1880, Captain Thomas
Baldwin made a name for himself
by jumping from hot-air balloons
with chute which was a fore
runner of the present type.
He was the first really successful
jumper, but success in those days
was judged by how long man
lived in this profession.
In 1912 the first parachute jump
from an airplane was made. The
container was attached to the plane
and the man who did the jumping
pulled the parachute out as he fell.
The war really proved that the
parachute is life-saving appara-
tus for use with airplaneS. Early
in 1918 the Allied pilots reported
that German pilots were using para
chutes to escape from their planes
whenever they were out of control
or set on fire.
This was the beginning of in
sistent demands on the part Of our

allied pilots for parachute equip
ment. The A. E. F. tried to produce
a satisfactory parachute by COM
bining the good features Of several
chutes already in existence.
All of these, however, were very
bulky and heavy and hard to get
OH the plane.
During the summer OF 1918, the
United States Air Service officials
appealed to Washington for good
airplane parachutes.
A large number of tests were
made. Finally, after combining all
the good points of foreign and
American chutes, a satisfactory
free type of parachute was de-
veloped.
BY free type I mean the kind Of
parachute which is entirely indie
pendent of the plane.
Stories often come out in the
newspapers about parachuteS that
fail to open. What probably really
happens is that men who make
jumps from planes are killed before
they are able to pull the rip cord
which opens a parachute.
In the past there was always a
great deal of danger in testing out
a new type of chute, but now they
have been developed to such a high
degree of efficiency that there are
r1ra cticallU no fatalities
Each parachute that is used by
the Government is repacked every
month and tested every six months.
