THE SLOT MACHINE

If Key West does not want slot ma
chimes they can be eliminated entirely by
invoking the provisions of the law which
ollows referendum for that very purpose.
The cities of this state have various
means of approach either to eliminate
them altogether or to haraSs their opera
tons.
Tallahassee apparently has the best
control by requiring signs announcing the
percentum of payoff and removal from
near sidewalks, from Placements and from
upstairs rooms. Miami will apparently
limit the take of the owners to 20 per cent.
Homestead will call referendum for their
elimination. Fort Myers one lonely ma
chire gave up the ghost under the strain
of continual heckling and inspection.
which goes to show if the people don't
want anything, it might as we'll throw up
the sponge and take the licking lying
down.

RELIGIONS, FREEDOM AND POLITICS

The bitter exchange between the Rev
erend Charles E. Coughlin and John ]. o.
Conner, Chairman of the House Rules Com
mittee, made interesting reading but other
wise the affair is unimpOrta1t.
Father Coughlin, sometimes referred
to as the Detroit Radio Priest, has achieved
national support from some of those who
think as he does on issues of the day.
When the Catholic Priest attacked Mr..
OConner in a radio broadcast, the New
York representative, also a Catholic, re-
torted that he would kick him from the
White House to the Capitol
The Citizen does not intend to go in
to the relative merits of the argument be-
tween the two Catholics but perhaps it
might be we'll to use the incident to review
the complications that inevitably ensue
when preachers or priests move in to the
political arena.
The generally accepted doctrine of
the United States is that its citizens shall
enjoy freedom of religious worship, that
the government will not interfere in the
religious field and the obvious corollary
is that the servants of religion should not
actively participate in the affairs of gov,
eminent. 2S -12.
1t is always a mistake, in our opinion,
when a priest or preacher injectS himself
into a campaign to be determined by vote
of the people, Whether the man be a
Bishop Cannon or a Father Coughlin and
whether the issue be prohibition or none
tary reform, the representative of the
church will best serve his high calling by
attending to the duties of his church and
fulfilling the role of religious leader of his
flock
The freedom of religious worship,
guaranteed by the Constitution, cannot be
preserved in this country if men of the
cloth utilize the sanctuary of the church to
protect them from the attacks of the world,
while leading an onslaught against others
Inevitably, in time, the religious lead
e. merges into some form of political lead
er, backed by certain followers and Op-
rGSed by determined opponents The line
Nnicn differentiates the religious man
from the man of the world becomes con-
fused, and the public at large will not
recognize any separation of the man from
his religious office. Sooner or later, the
religious leader in politics will lose some
majo. emp ign and his political op
poLents will trim his wings" and, in so
doing very probably injure the religious
institution he represents. 1t will not avail,
in that day, for the preachers and priests
to raise the cry of religious persecution"

Some Japanese
Customs
By Joseph Stoudt

Just as any country has its own
customs and traditions, so Japan
has her particular customs which
have come down through the ages
with little or no changes. Natural
" mos of these customs seem ouee
o other people, but the fact that
they are peculiar to Japan, and to
Japan alone, makes them all the
more unique and interesting.
OF the many japanese customs
and practices, those which exist in
a typical Japanese home are among
the most interesting. There is one
which is universally evident in
every japanese home, from the
wealthiest down to the most hum
bic. 1t is that of having a certain
place in the main room of the house
set aside for the sole purpose of
worshipping the various Japanese
GODS as we'll as the ancestors of the
family. In this special location is
always some sort of shrine with in
Vulnerable and attractive decora-
TONS. Within this shrine are placed
images of certain japanese gods and
and also of the outstanding ances-
tors of that particular family. The
whole family makes it a point to
worship at the shrine at least twice
a day, if not more often.
Another japanese custom, which
usually seems strange to the foreig-
ner, is the fact that the japanese
sleep on the floor instead of on a
bed. However, the Japanese do not
sleep directly On the bare floor, but
rather on a large thick mattress fill
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1936-11-06
ed with cotton. They cover them
selves with a blanket or quilt equal

ed with cotton. They cover them
selves with a blanket or quilt equal
ly as large as the mattress they
sleep On. A small wooden block, 50
shaped as to be comfortable to ones
head, furnishes them with a pillow.
Any japanese, upon entering his
home, promptly removes his shoes
or wooden clogs (as they are prop
erly called). This is a typical and
well-established Japanese custom,
often seeming, to the inexperienced
foreigner, a very unnecessary and
troublesome thing to do when 60
ing into a japanese home or rest
aurant, and is done as an aid in
keeping the house as clean as pos
sible, for the Japanese on the whole
take great pride in keeping their
homes looking clean and neat.
Besides the home customs of the
japanese, those dealing with family
relationship and marriage are espe
cially interesting to us. For in
stance, when a japanese girl has
reached the marrying age, her hus-
band is chosen for her by her par
ents. After that she is compelled
to marry him whether she actually
loves him or not. This peculiar
custom of marriage is a very old
one, dating back to the early years
of Japanese history.
Another japanese family tradi-
ton is that, in the family, the
men hold a much higher social posi-
ton than do the women, the same
being true with the bows and girls.
For example, i'll getting on the
street car the men invariably pre-
cede the women; and also, when the
car is crowded, the men calmly take
all the empty seats, leaving the I'M
fortunate women standing packed
tightly against each other.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1936-11-06

Turning now from the customs
concerning the japanese home and
family, we go to the more general
ones relating to the japanese people
as a whole. One practice which
exists in the schools of Japan is that
of having the hair of every school
boy closely clipped from the top
of his head. This is compulsory in
all the schools from about the first
grade up through high school. Al
though it is not required in the
colleges and universities, many of
the students from those institutions
adhere to that age-old custom.
However, there is one custom
that is compulsory in all the schools,
whether grade school or university,
and it is that every student, male
or female, must wear a certain uni
form prescribed by the particular
school from which they come. The
boys must wear caps bearing the in
sigma of their school, while whether
the girls must wear a hat or not is
left to the discretion of that GER
tain school. In summer time the
boys wear white uniforms, whereas
the rest of the year they wear uni
forms of a dark-blue color.
These are some of the present.
day Japanese customs, and, while
some of them may seem strange and
ridiculous to us Americans, we
nus remember that we likewise
have certain customs and practices
in our country which to the Japan
csc seem even more strange and
nonsencsial.
