THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Lkcmsi.ativk Mmt.u.iTY. You can never dragoon men by law into morality. We bare too many laws. Then; is a tendency in the United States to pile on a law to most overv now conclitiun that arises in pulilie life. If a man happens to cut his throat with a razor, a law banning razors at onto goes into effect. A deep respect for law is essential, especially in a democracy like our own. hut men who work constitutionally for the repeal of a law in which they do not believe are fulfilling their sacred civic duty just as certainly as the men who established the law. It we go on as we are we shall create a bureaucracy at Washington and a jobholder's regime in which one man in every three in the United .States will he a political officeholder. and then we may as well move to Russia.—Archbishop Curley of Baltimore.
