K CANDIDACY THAT WOULD BE ALMOST SUICIDAL For enr part, we incline ,o the belief that it wbuU be an encour aging indication of tha growth of religious toleration if Al Smith might be nominated for President; but we have not tha slightest ex pectation that Smith will be consid ered seriously. Mr. Hildehrand re ports from Washington that Smith's friends re going to try to put him teroas, not worrying'mbout the fact that he is a Roman Catholic; hut naturally Smith's friends are willing to take a chance. When tha neu trals, the boys who are interested, not in Smith, but only in picking a winner, begin to regard Smith as a good bet, then will be time enough to get excited" about his candidacy. And there is as yet no indication whatever of any such .interest on the part of the neutrals. . On the contrary, - prejudice against, the church of .Burnt, to, being energety cally fomented by tertain organis tions and people who have found it j to their ewa interest to breed hatred I among Christians. Such witless or-! ganizatiens as tha Ku Klu Klan are perpetually bawling about the threat to the country that ia. afforded by Catholicism, : although generally speaking they have not the faintest conception of what the Soman church to and what Jt stands for, A few years ago an outfit in Missouri cleaned up a handsome fortune by publishing a , newspaper' directed against that church. All sorts of disingenuous persons have found it possible to make fairly comfort-' able living by assaulting tha Cth- olie church. This has created a body of prejudice so eqormeus that it would probably be a. fatal handi cap ta candidate for the Presi dency. . j ! What to still more serious, a great rony people; who art entirely hon. est have certain distrust ef the Soman church 'that to not based on prejudice. : They remember that the pope has bees) no more willing than the sultan to limit his claim to authority to purely spiritual affairs. True, a, good many Protestant sects betray tendency to demand that their own tenets b enacted -into law; the "fundamentalists" are leaving BO stopo 'unturned to con vert our legislative assemblies into ecclesiastical councils. But if there is already a dangerous trend toward j the mixing of church ni ataie, that very fact eenvineea. a good many people that It to a poor time to elect to the highest office within the gift ef jth people a man whose religious fsith, in theory at least, frankly ap proves that mixture. Th Daily News does -not believe that Governor Smith, if he were elected President, would do any thing to impair the principle of re ligious freedom. But that isn't the point The point Is that vast num bers of people are afraid that he might, and would therefore be in clined to vote against him. . And a man whom vast numbers of people oppose n other than political grounds to hardly available as a can didate of the Democratic party. A Democrat absolutely unencumbered will have the light ef his lif to win; so it would be almost suicidal to nominate one who to already handi capped seriously by religious prej udice. . a home without childhood to Incom plete and unhappy.

I THE PENAL LEGISLATION CON- i ' TERENCE, . The meeting of the Citizens' Committee of One Hundred on Prison Legislation, scheduled for Greensboro next . Friday, may easily prove to be on of the moot important gathering of the ' year for North Carolina. Th (tat has developed wonderful spirit in re gard to most social legislation.. For the last few year it has net been necessary to argue the principle of such statutes to the legislature; ail that ha been necessary wa to con vince the law maker that the bill under consideration 'represented careful thought and tha latest ideas of proved efficacy and it would bo passed. Wo have taken great strides for ward in the matter of our penal system within the last decade, but all our work in that direction has been piecemeal 'The legislature has never had presented to it a compre hensive program of penal legisla tion: and a great ' many obvious abuses have been allowed to exist simply because their eradication would require a thorough overhaul ing ef the entire system of penal laws, which to a task that cannot possibly be accomplished efficiently by harassed and hard-driven mem bers of the general assembly during the 60 days of the session. The legislators no doubt have been will' ing enough to put into effect the best system of penal legislation that could be devised, had they been certain what that system is. But without precise and accurate Infor mation they would have been foolish to act Citizens' It Is the, effort of the Committee of One Hundred to fur- In. other parts of the paper ndttlon, training, and they rear up for eschew the editorial page, deubtlesi ' not a few prefer the financial de- y partment; per contra, there may be reader of editorial - matter who : leave the financial columns alone.

Here are philosophical observation , weighing and analyse' of ause ' and effects, Interpretation of the ' movement in the tide of events, all . pproved editorial functions.

There to another Institution , en gaged in the tame field, employing a different method, which has for sponsor no church, no fraternal or der; an institution which centers-its work in Greensboro but radiates throughout the entire state, and which appeals to all denominations, all creed, al) societies of men and women for its support It peculiar ly and happily supplements the work of the homes in which children are warded from infancy .to adult hood. As childhood deprived of horn to incomplete and unhappy, so nish that precise and accurate in formation. Various members ol the committee heve been studying various phases of penal legislation for some months now; and at the Greensboro meeting the results of their studies will be laid before the whole committee. Thus that body,' with ample time and the latest de velopments of scientific penology before it hopes to be able to make to the legislature such recommenda tions for strengthening the penal laws of this state as will appeal at once to the legislators' common tense. If it succeeds in that, there will be little cause for argument, nobody's time will be wasted at Raleigh, nd yet the penal system insofar a legislation goes-iwlll be modernized. - But no such happy result can be attained unless the Greensboro meeting produces a lucid, clear-cut and practical program no child's Providence. They are very much like NleB'r Bhrioeophw, who, asked, to wake map ef the uni verse purposely left out God be cause He' wasn't needed In that scheme. Our political maps have the same design.

Which to right In hi interpretation of history, Buckle or CarlyltT Which th sounder phil osopher, Calvin or ArmlnltuT Ton don't know, do you. Nobody does. Professor Thomas Hill Green did some fine writing, as Horace Gree ley called It, when he undertook to say. something . of this insoluble enigma of history, thto "perennial tragedy of life," thto "conflict be tween the creative will of men and the hidden wisdom of the world which teems to thwart It" And' he follows In the direction of a spirit ual philosophy which seems to be headed toward an approximate solu tion. ' The historian ' doee not ac count for Cromwell or Vane by Puritanism In English society, but the spirit that made them (for he eoncedee that they did not make it), "belonged to the universal spiritual force which, aa "ecstasy, mysticism, quietism, philosophy, Is in per manent collision with the carnal in terests of the world, and which, if it conquers them for a moment, yet sinks under them that It may trans mute them more thoroughly to its service," : Philosophy cannot yet say that It has solved thit engima wrapped up in tha relation of divine law to hu man liberty and responsibility; but it may perceive how a great teacher molds the social organization of hit school to the predetermined purpose of the master, net despite the lib erty of his pupils, but by using that liberty,,, and jn . that common phe nomenon of human experience may find an analogy to the reign of law in the, world of men. The biog rapher- of Mr." Green continue "Even if, on a, first view of It, the course, of history might seem to be no more thtn th eecultr product ef finite wills end circumstances, it was precisely hi analyst of the action of human wills as found In their moral and political experience that convinced Green' that neither hu man achievement nor aspiration could be made intelligible except through the pretence In the to-cslled secular' affair of tht universal spiritual force to which the religious consciousness had never failed to bear wltnest." , The tame thing that the scientific agnostic Herbert Spencer celled the cel.

Jetua found slavery in th Soman Empire; but He led no reform movement gnt slavery in industry or despotism n govern ment St. Peu( urged the runaway tlav to .return to hit .master, and the Christian disciples to be obedi ent to the laws of the Empire. But Jesus and the great Apostle could not have been indifferent to slavery and despotism; they both taw clear ly the oppression of both. But the worfd wa not ready for Industrial freedom or political liberty and a message of that character would have been untimely.
