Jonew Wan fa to Know If lie Is an American ClUwn or a - -Kcilglous Bigot Quotas the Con- stltuUon as- to the lUllgious TeU To the Editor of The Observer:-.: t Will jroii kindly tell me whether we are now living in the enlightened twemiettecBmiryTr la-tBSaafBaad benighted seventeenth century, when religious bigotry caused many a poor fellow to be burned at the stake, be cause, forsooth, he- would not yield nis religious convictions to some bigot? I had supposed that we were hrlng in the fSfmefi "until I read. In your valued paper of this date, the article headed "Sounds a Warning Note," which article is signed by C. J. Woodson, la this man Woodson an American citizen, or a religious bigot? if the former, he should study the constitution of the United Stales, for his article above referred to snows that he docs not know what the constitution contains, for if he did he would know tnat there is in that valued and much beloved instru ment the following: "So religious test ever shall be required as a quan titation to any office or public trust under the I'nlted States." If this man Woodson is an American citizen, and has rc-r heard of the paragraph aiiove quoted, he evidently think himself greater and of more import ance than the constitution of our country, and that being the case, we all know what to think of such a person If he is simply a religious bigot, and not an American citizen, in- should not try to interfere with matters that do not concern him. 1 take it. from the tone of his article, that this man Woodson Is trying to pose as a Democrat, and that being the case, he should earry his article to a logical conclusion and should refuse to support a party, or its poli cies, pvhirh is dominated by men who are so diametrically opposed, in tneir religions convictions, from those held by him, for he must know thai the hulk of the Democratic parly in the largo cltleH, such as Huston, New York, I'tiila.ielphla, Baltimore, '!il chko and Kan Franrlnco, Is made up ery larnsly of Roman Catholics and Jews, and yet he dors not say any thliiK about them In his article. And why not? Because down deep In his heart, it is not because Judge Taft l a member of the I'nilarlan Church, as he has a right in be, but because luilfct- Taft has proven himself to be M1 able, uprik'ht and pure In all his actions, both in and out of public life, that teiiH of thousands of Demo crats are flocking lo nis standard and are going to wor-k and vote for him with might and main until he is placed In the preMldeat la 1 chair, and tills exhibition of Mind bigotry is brought about by the blind political prejudice of some people In UiIh Htate, who cannot bear to see a member of their party vote for a Republican, no matter how pure and aide he may be. This Mr Woodson apparently did not hear the leaders of Ills party, in 1300, when they were appealing for votes for the eonstll utlonal amend ment, promise the people that if they (toe dear people would pass this amendment It would do away with the last paragraph or that article, i taken front The North American. JtiHt referred to, which Is ns follows: , "What the man murmurs with , ; bowed hend on Sunday matters much to his soul.
