steps against people whom . JWy, re,
oard as wholly bad. They believe that
nprsecution- means the maltreatment
cf people like themselves.;. We doubt
whether anyxpor?ecutor ever liyed.who
r6uld have admitted - that ie wa a
persecutor. Torquemada did not re
gard himsem as ;a persecutor but as a

his egd,; but onj his means. ; t
Practically everything that ve. call
persecution has some kind ofadealistic
end. It was almost invariably. a re-'
ligious, a patriotic, or rev61utionary
excuse. Christians were not persecuted
in Rome merely ' because they were
good, they were persecute"d because
they affronted the national religion.
They would not sacrifice to the images
of tie gods or even take an oath by
the genius of tho emperor.. They were
bad citizens," disloyal atjieistic, or
ganized in secret societies," enemies of
the human race.; The case for perse
eating them wab the case cf almost
all respectable men before even res
spectable men discovered that it did
not pay topersecute. Until this discov
ery was made, jit was only natural
that the .governing-class should do
their level best to. exterminate every
- -j . ... .
sort of political ; and what was then
almost the same thing religious
here-fw6!!
Governments " desire lyal subjects
subjects who accept .things as they
are instead of .desiring" to overturn
them. If it were feasible, they would
get rid of all others. . Persecution was
a valiant attempt to dispense with dis-.
loyal and disbelieving subjects. In
Spain it succeeded, so far at least as
relates to the expulsion of the disloy
al and disbelieving. There was never
such a triumph of persecution as the
Inquisition of Spain. Under Torque
mada close on" ja million Jews were
driven out of the; country, leaving their
goods behind thm. Spain, however,
has. found out since then that in get
ting rid of people she did not like,
she also got rid of prosperity which
she did like. Persecution can undoubt
edly be made a success by any coun
try that is willing to pay xth6 price.
The price that Spain paid wae 'material
and spiritual decay. If . Spain had
failed in her persecution, she might
hae succeeded better in other things.
The punishment of one's enemies has
often to be paid for by the punish
msnt of oneself, j .
A great deal f of persecution, we
think, is founded on a fallacy.!. It has
its origin in thebelief that we can
till an opinion by killing a man who
holds it. If we could, there mght be
a great deal toj be said for perse
cution. There would also be a great
deal to be said fprjjti at revolirtionary
. wmi oi persecuTaon assassination.
' Mszzini said thatjsscsination was le
gitimate only in cases where every
thing the dead man stood for' would
accompany him j into ' the grave. In
Practice, this means: that assassination
is never or almost ever justified.

We doubt if any -heresy has ever dis

and' Judaism have all beeh persecuted
fairly" strenuously at different times,"
and all -of them, hav survived sur
vived in all the greater strength, per

which- they 'have- passed. Persecution
is the most discredited of all forms "of
resolute -govrnnient.' ; At least; it can
but ' produce devastation arid call it

Long after the more murderous
fonnVof persecution' went out of fav
or," however, milder methodar of perse
cution remained popular. We no longer
killed af man for his opinions;" but w
victimized him. We refused him the
rights Of. citizenship unless he saw eye
to. eye, with us or pretended to do so
about religion. We would riot allow
him .to vote at the., elections because he
differed from us aboUt the" wine on the
cbriarriuriion tabled - We forbade him to
serid bis0soris to'-the University be
0ause he saicLhis prayers for the dead.
We4Hid notif course, admit that this
was," the reason. .1 We told ourselves
thfit he was professedly a disloyal cit
izen because,- if it came to. a conflicx
betrgen". th Pope, and the Kitig, he
was, bound - to take c sides WitH tfie
' Such a conflict between King and
Pope is purely hypothetical tho j
it was not always so but ' it - served
enough to gve our prejudices a
basis in logis. No man; we were told,
can serve twoVriiasters. ,A divided
loyalty,, we agreed, is not loyalty at
aU.-f Antexsiuidcd tr
Catholicism is a form of unpatriotism.
We failed to observe that the loyaltyf
of every man is divided and condi
tionaL There may be a; conflict of1
loyalties even in the most Protestajrc j
breast: Cromwell wa loyal to his con
science arid his country,' though not to
his king.' Practical experience, how
ever, ultimately convinced us that on
the whole a Catliolic was as likely to
be loyal in everyday affairs as any-,
body else. Similar discoveries were
made in other civilized countries du
ring the past century, so' that at the
secution on religious gi-ounds in any
secuion on religious grounds inariy
part of western Europe. Protestants
and Catholics have agreed to differ.
They work sjde by side in the factory,
in the law courts, in the. army. They
no longer fearfully suspect one anoth
er of vast ambitions for world-power
or downfall. They know that, on nine
tenths of public affairs, therp is noth
ing to divide them, and that a Cath
olic is as' likely to die ' for English
liberty as a Protestant. . : .
During the war, the English Catho
lic was in closer sympathy with the
Protestant at home than with the
Catholic in Germany. The lesson that
we , have learned in the past two hun
dred years is that any honest man may
be a useful citizen. Whatever his opin
ions Catholic,-Protestant, or, atheist,
monaVchist. or republican, Conserva
tive, Liberal or Socialist his country
will - gain more by making use of his
services than by wasting its energy n
penalizing him for his opinions.
There js, we fancy, .only one part of
these islands where any considerable
attempt has been made in recent times
to sweep back the. incoming tide of
toleration. This is "in .Belfast, where
the Protestant workers in the . ship
yards have decided to introduce "a po
litical test for admission into their
company. ' Thirty years ago it was a
common thing for a Belfast worker to
cm tn Tiia emDlover and say: "I. won't
Lwork beside So-and-so,' he's an R. C.
tr " -
This, it is. fair to say, happenea;as:a
rule at times of ferment; and, during
the crreater part of the, year, . the
Protestant and the Catholic worked
comfortably side by side. Periodically,
however, the persecuting .spirit would
get uppemost, and the Catholics Vould
be chased with stones and 'bolts, out
oftheir employment, the theory being
fiif. Catholic was a traitor and
VltM v . ,
that to I tolerate traitors is itself
sort of treason. .. j ; - :
Certaiily, no Belfast Protestant ev
er believed himself guiltof persecu
tion in refusing to work with Catholics
or even in .hurling rivets at thern .He
felt that he was doing loyal work and
fiat loyalty was the first duty of man.

that a man driving an automobile shot

along the road, placing his bo.dy in the

Officers were called to the.scene and
discovei-ed a pool of blood and other
facts corroborating the evidence of

ofthe woods did not result in finding
the body. The local officers went to
work on,. the theory that .Glenn Lip

county, was the one murdered near
hereyesterday morning.
Sheriff Alexander - and others have
been working on this link today, but
it appears from what can, be learned
at a late hour tonight that the . homi

a different case and that Lippard must
have been killed .where his body was

Glenn Lippard, the victim of the

claimed- that he was being pursued by
his brother; Bud Lippard, who is wide
ly known as. a blockader,andr was
threatening his life. From this and

ed oh" the theory that. Glenn -Lippard
was killed near .here and "his .body

of Glasgow Glasgow; Va., 40 miles
north of here, at 2. o'clock this -morn-irig
was robbed by. three bandits of
$150,000 in liberty bonds and cur
rency, according to ' an", estimate of
President Yaughan, of the 'bank and
three hours later, Roanoke polic, hav
ing received the alarm, blocked the
threcL roads leading into ' this city;
halted the robbers who were speeding
in a' seven passenger automobile on
one. of the thoroughfares, ldlled one
fof them, took, the other two prison
ers' ma pitched battle, and recovered
the loot. " In the battle Patrohnan dt
L Hendrix,' of Roanoke, was slightly
wounded.-, . ' . . y. .
--The dead man, according to the po
lice, is James B. Rodgers, 26, of Phil
adelphia. The'men under arrest gave
their names as Charles Carter, 36,
Cincinnati, Ohio, and William Porter,
47; of Washington, D. C.
Chief, of Police Rigney expressed! the
belief tomght, that the trio is respon
sible -for robberies, recently in North
Carolina, Georgia; Virginia and Ten
nessee. .. : " ' ; x - '
. At the local morgue tonight $200
was found sewed in Rodger's coat arid
$250 in the lining of his underwear.
Most ofthe loot, which included small
amounts; of jewelry as weir as liberty
bonds and currency, was found in a
barracks bag. Carter and Porter, at
the local jail declined to talk, other
than to give what they said were their
names and addresses. According to
the police their accents indkrite that
11 '
they, are southerners.
According to President . Vaughari, of
the Glasgow Bank, .fhm robbery became
known shortly after" 2 o'clock this
morning, -vhen Vari explosion occurred
in the institution. . Examination show
ed that the vault had been entered ani
the. contents rifled. An alarm immed
iately was sent to Buchanan, the next
town north of Glasgow. - Word came
back that an automobile "going about
60 miles an hour" - had : just - gone
rough the- town, and Roanoke police!
were then nedT--l
The local police immediately took
steps to meet the incoming automo
bile ; on any one of the three roads
leading into the city from the north.
Upon each road a - car vas placed
lengthwise to . block the progress of
the. alleged, bandits.
On the Hollins , road, where . the
pitched battle occurred, the police pa
trol, in charge of Motorcycle Officer
Robertson and Patrolmen Butler and
Hendrix, was placed across the road a
mile and a half out cf the city, about
4 a. m., where' -the officers -calmly
Waited. '
A few min jtespacsed, according to
the officers, when the" chugging of an
automobile, apparently coming at a
terrific speed, 'Wjas. heard. Presently
the car appeared over; the brow, of fa
hill, severalhundred feet away. At
the same moment Officer Robertsor..
sprang into the middle of the load and
cried "Halt.". The car, still speeding,
bore down. A blinding beam from a
flashlight was thrown in Officer Rob
ertson's face, "accompanied by a shot
Other shots then came from the al
leged bandit , car, and -general firing
between the occupants and the police
ensued. In an effort to go around the
patrol wagon, Rodgers, the driver of
the car, swerved to he side of the
road. " At the same Time, according
to, the police. Officer Robertson fired
the shot that killed Rodgers, the bul
let entering the alleged bandit's neck.
The car then struck. a rock,. turned
turtle . and pinned the other two oc-
cupants ' Deneatn it. une 01 me al
