Religion And The Constitution

ty Of continuing an American
tradition Of thankfulness to
God
After all. the Congress Of the
United States saw fit. in recent
years, to insert the words "un-
der Cod into the Pledge of Al
legiance. This action does not
seem to have moved the nation
any closer toward the official
establishment of religion or
toward any denial Of religious
freedom.

Courts of our land, opens with
this invocation:
God save the United States
and this honorable Court"

signed the Declaration Of hide

Constitution were careful tc
avoid anything which could be
regarded as fav0ring one church
over any other. They likewise
safeguarded the right of the> in

all. But nowhere does either
document even insinuate that
religion is to be either thWarted
or discouraged.

so well expressed by George
Washington in his Farewell Ad

". D. workmon

Almighty God, we acknowl-
edge our dependence upon Thee,
and we beg Thy blessings, upon
us. our parents, our teachers
and our country"
This brief prayer. which ia
vors no denomination and which
is not even compulsory. has
| triggered a test case on religi-
Gus freedom which now is in
| the lap of the u. S. Supreme
Court. A New Yorker has COM
planned that the prayer, as re-
cited voluntarily in the public
schools of New York State, vio-
lates the Federal Constitution
But the Constitution even in
its broadest Interpretation, can
hardly be stretched into an all
inclusive barrier against every
thing religious. The Constitution
provides for the separation Of
church and state. 1t does not
prescribe hostility to religion or
to the religious impulses.
The Constitution says, Con
gress shall make no law re-
specting an establishment of re-
hgiop, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof
Through this school prayer,
the New York State Board of
Regents is attempting neither to
establish a religion nor to deny
full freedom of worship. Here is
the Boards own reasoning on
the point:
THE securing Of the peace
and safety of our country and
our state points to the eS-
sentiality of teaching our chill
dren as set forth in the Declar-
alton CT independence, that Al
mighty God is their Creator,
and that by Him they have been
endowed with their inalienable
rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
But, recognizing that there
are Americans whose religious
beliefs for lack thereof would
not favor even such a general
prayer. the Board of Regents
provided that children might be
excused from the daily prayer
if they wished.
The opportunity to be ex-
cused. however. did not impress

subtle" form Of coercion eX-
listed by virtue of the fact that

added, resulted IN a SORT OF IN
delible' mark on the child, like
that which the Supreme Court
in its notwithstanding 1854 de
cision-said resulted from racial
segregation of students in pub
lie schools.
But let us look to the effect
not on the handful of children
but on the greater number.
Perhaps the time is at hand

might come from banning the

CreWman Wins
Garden State
By6Lengths
Never Bend Third
As 1-to-2 Choice;
I'd for Shoemaker

CHERRY HILL, N. j., NOV. III
(AP) .-Crewman, an appropri-
ately named son of Sailor,
splashed over the water-soaked
track today like a COB on shore
leave and won the $273 $50
Garden State Stakes by six
lengths at Garden State Park.
1t was a stunning climax in
the 2-year-old championship
struggle of 1862, as Never Bend
the overwhelming favorite-
struggled home a pood third. He
was the IL choice, first odds-on
favorite in the races history.
Crewman. ridden confidently
over the sloppy strip by Willie
Shoemaker for his second
straight victory in this rich
event, took the lead almost at
once. He whirled around the
mile-and-a-sixteenth without
once taking back and barged
home with plenty of daylight
over the second horse, Chi
cagoan Robert F. Bensinger's
In The Pocket. In The Pocket
was second by three lengths
over Never Bend.
Fourth Straight Victory
This was the fourth straight
victory for Crewman, owned by
George D. Widener of Phila-
delphia, and it tossed the jul
venile championship smack in
to the laps of the pollsters.
Never Bend, from the Cain
Hoy Stable of Harry F. Gug-
genheim of New York, had won
all of the East'S major fall
stakes for young colts. He was
a cinch for the juvenile title
until Crewman upset him on
this gloomy, showery day be-
fore 26,275 fans. But it was
his first race on an off-track,
and this could have been the
chink in his armor.
In fact, Never Bend had so
terrorized his opposition that
only six rivals showed up for
the 10th running. 1t was the
smallest field in the history Of
the race. 1t also was the first
time Crewman had hooked up
with Never Bend.
Early Battling
Shoemaker, who won this
race with last years juvenile
champion, Crimson Satan,
spared briefly at the start
with Manuel Ycaza, aboard
Never Bend. He opened up a
length and a half as In The
Pocket came along in third
place. Going down the back
stretch. In The Pocket became
the runnerup as Never Bend
dropped to fourth and Harbor
View Farms Master Dennis
ran third.
But nobody was going to
catch Crewman and he report
ed in / minute, A seconds flat,
third fastest Garden State in
history. Never Bend took third
by three-quarters of a length
over Master Dennis. Rural Re-
treat was followed by Air Spin
and Bonjour.
Crewman paid $1,000, SIS and
1920. In The Pocket returned
$3.50 and 1920, and Never
Bend, 1920. The show pool to-
tailed $116,600, and $97,9 46
went on Never Bend. 1t created
a $16.642 minus pool. One
plunger bet $4,000 to get back
10 cents on the dollar.
Crewman earned $164,118,
biggest winning purse of any
horse race this year. He had
won only $12,730, winning
three of six before today.

Besides making a fine leap

Mackey ran SO yards for the
Orangemen's fourth touchdown,
bouncing off three would-be
tacklers on the Is and running

In addition to this, the

Notre Dame scored one of it's
