Still Nervous

The state department persists in its refusal per-
nit Count Michael Karolyi, first president of the
Hungarian republic, to visit this country.
Karolyi applied for passport visaS for himself and
his wife at the embassy in Paris. group of liberals
urged Secretary Kellogg to grant the petition The
state department replied that it to alter
it's original decision of three years ago.
Thus the state department. forces this country into
an attitude of friendlness and cooperation toward
the reactonary government of the dictator Horthy
and Of hostility toward the liberal elements of
Hungary.
The state department apparently bases it's action
on the theory that the Karolyis are communists,
which they are not They pacidstS and liberals.
Karolyi, president of Hungary, instituted re-
forms along democratic lines. He advocated suffrage,
free speech, and distribution of large estates
The reactionares overthrow the Karolyi govern
ment and he fled the country. They do not want
Karolyi to stir up sympathy for his cause and their
influence has been great enough to our state
department. to abandon the traditional position of
this country as haven for political exiles and the
champion of liberal movements everywhere
Fortunately, we may look for return to saner
methods after March 4. The Karolyi incident,
meantime, might well engage the attention of some
of the gentlemen in congress who have not sue
cumbed to the communistic hysteria as have the
nervous officials of the state department.

The dangers of zea1otrv

This has to do with the state of the American
mind now that the election Is over.
During this campaignu passions aroused
in certain sections that have greater possible danger
the Union than the prejudces and passions that
were stirred up over slavery before the Civil war
Religious prejudice and passion go deeper into
human emotions than any difference of opinion over
slavery or over any economic ISSUE They have been
responsible for many of the bloodies wars in human
history-fanatical zeal to make triumphant par
ticular manner of worshipping God
Familiar with the prosecutions inspired by bigotry
and intolerance in the religious wars of the Old
World, the Fathers of the American republic, the
founders and trainers of the Constitution of the
United States and the authors Of the immortal
Declaration Of independence, had in their minds the
dedication of this democracy to freedom of
science and religious liberty.
In me ing the Constitutio nthey looked ahead as
far they could with the light they had and knowl
edge of history to guide them and tried to guarantee
for all time to come, in the fundamental law of the
land, the right of every citizen to be free and I'M
disturbed in his natural right to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of his own conscience
But they went further than that. They recognized
not only all Christians, but all men, of whatever
religious faith, brothers under the Fatherhood of
Cod There was to be no restriction of full religious
liberty.
There should be religious test as qualification
for citizenship office holding. All of us, matter
what religious faith might be, to dwell
together in peace and harmony and build up, without
sectarian interference of any kind, the greatest
democracy earth.
With their knowledge of the cruel tyranny the
Old World had experienced from union of Church
and State the trainers of the Constitution sought in
that document to insure against any such danger
GUS alliance.

Singular Stand IN Russia

Speaking of monarchy and boil
sheviSm. why do we adopt diff
ferent attitude toward the latter
than we always have maintained to-
ward the former?
To be specific, why do we refuse
even to go so far as a conference with
Soviet Russia looking toward pos
sibility of recognition. or deny her
officials and representatives pass
ports on every possible occasion?
On Thursday, the United Press re-
ported from Berlin that. according
to Russian advices. two members Of
the Soviet business mission to the
United States have been refused
passport visaS by the American state
department.
They were v. I. OSSinski- Obelen-
ski, former commissioner of agri-
culture and head of the Russian
delegation to the World Economic
conference at Geneva, and v.
Mayeshlauk. vice-president of the
Soviet Supreme Economic council.
They intended visiting the United
States primarily to negotiate with
big American automobile concerns
for establishment of factories If
Russia. From Russian sources. the
report said, it was learned that the
proposed negotiations involved a
$4,000, 900 deal and the eventual
placing of large orders with other
American industries.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

colds, influenza, bronchitis and ton
silitis are responsible for 45.2 per

clerical workers in any year. About
five working days are lost for every
clerk each year, because of
respiratory diseases.
The women employees have a much
higher absence rate because of sick

For respiratory diseases alone, the

has prevailed, and has inspired their children and
their childrens children with patriotic devotion to
their country. Up to date this has been free and
not sectarian democracy.
Whenever the nation in danger, all men of
all creedS fought together brother Americans to
preserve the republic and the freedom of conscience
guaranteed in that fundamental law
Now it is menaced. Emotions have been stirred
up, passions have been aroused and veritabe hell
of anmosities brewed that endanger the very spirit
of constitutional liberty.
From the disastrous results from such clashing of
intolerant and cruel passions the republic must be
saved.
And there is no graver duty for every patriotic
American citizen than to sit down and sit down hard
on every man woman who helps to fan this spark
of intolerance into consuming flame.
Whoever seeks to harm any candidate any
citizen because of his religious faith is enemy of
the Constitution and his country.

CAPITAL Punishment

An interesting sidelght on the fallibilty of human
courts and therefore the possibility OF doing ire
parable wrong by inf1icting the death penalty, Is
contributed by the well-known writer and journalist
Charles Edward Russell. 1t is circulated by the
League to Abolish Capital Punishment. Says Russell:
william Heilwagner was hanged at Rock Island
ILL., in March, 1882 for the murder of his daughter
ir-law, wife of his son Otto I saw him hanged.
"EIe had been fairly tried and well defended The
Judge was humane, upright careful. The twelve
grave citizens who composed the jury convinced
of the prisoners guilt.
GAIL the safeguards that our American judicial
procedure throws about accused persons were used
in this mans behalf. He had every delay, every
opportunity, every presumption in his favor. The
trial lasted many days. The evidence was searched
narrowly. Appeal to a higher court showed not
flaw in the proceedings.
"He was hanged in the jail yard before group,
mostly newspaper men. AS he walked out on the
scaffold he looked down on us and said steadily:
"'Gentlemen am innocent of this crime
"None Of us believed him. In the well-ordered
processes of our courts how could innocence be found
guilty of death?
"Yet he told the truth. Ten years later, wretched
man sat in a lodging house at Quincy, Ill., and wrote
a confession of the crime for which had put
William Heilwagner to death; wrote it in detail and
with indubitable circumstances. Then he left it
where it would be found, and threw himself from the
Quincy bridge and was drowned.

we had sent guiltless to the scafold. When

how can we be sure of its decision in any other case?

and regret it, but you never can rectify it.
