UPON WHAT RELIGION DOES GOOD CITIZENSHIP REST? N Not very long ago Mr. Joseph Epstein, of Baltimore, surprised an audience addressed by him at the City Club by including religion among the requisites for good citizenship. ' A man cannot be a good citizen, unless he has a religion. No c particular religion is necessary, said Mr. Epstein, but some religion. ■ Well, then, will any religion do? < The old Aztecs sacrificed thousands of people on their teocallis, 1 cutting out the beating hearts and placing them still throbbing on the | altars of their gods. These men were sincere believers in their bloodv : faith ; but were they good citizens ? The Thugs of India are sincere and fanatical believers in the practice of murder as pleasing to their goddess Kali. But does this religion make them good citizens ? The Indian Government regards them as murderers. Let us take cases nearer hoine. Was the Duke of Alva, who executed thousands of Dutch, regarded as heretics, a good citizen ? I Was Maurice of Nassau, who executed thousands of other Dutch, because they held what he called heretical views on infant baptism, a good citizen? On the other hand, was David Hume, whose character was irreproachable, or Thomas Paine, who helped so much to found the ' Government of the United States, or Robert G. Ingersoll, who did much to humanize the ethics of even the Christian churches— were these men bad citizens? Few people will say that the religious men above mentioned were good citizens, or that those called irreligious were bad citizens. On the other hand, Jesus was called irreligious by those who crucified Him and was put to death as a bad citizen. It is possible for the most fervent religionist to be the worst of citizens, and for the skeptic like Benjamin Franklin to be a good r citizen. One of Russia's greatest writers, Dostoevsky, said that in order for a man to be saved, it was necessary for him to believe in the Russian God. Religion to him was a matter of citizenship. The old Hebrews were always speaking of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This God did not belong to the Gentiles at all. He was the Jewish Yaweh, just as Jove was a Greek deity, and Jupiter a god to whom the Romans belonged. Where God is like the tariff, a local issue, belief in the national t;od is a part of accepted citizenship. Where religion is a matter with which the State has no business to concern itself, as is the case in the United States, a man may be a f good citizen without any reference to his religion, or his irreligion. ; , Qr, perhaps, if the writer may be allowed to lay down his own formula for the relations between religion and citizenship, a man t is a good or a bad citizen according to the extent to which he applies 1 :o our institutions those principles of right and wrong which are recoguized in the highest regions of the thought of all religions. ' e On these uplands of religious thought, the impulse of all minds • is towards justice. The Bible tells us that on earth we see God as ' through a glass, darkly ; but the religion of Higher Citizenship, no matter in what image it sees them, recognizes that image as a symbol of the Common God. He who believes in the utmost extension of democracy — in knowledge, in opportunity, jn culture, and industry — has the true religion of the Good Citizen — no matter what else he may believe or disbelieve. * WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND DEMOCRACY The proposition for Woman Suffrage is undemocratic in that it ^eeks to impose the will of a minority upon a majority. The very kernel of democracy is government by majorities. In the case of Woman Suffrage it is not only true that the majority is opposed to - but it is a notable fact that the opposition comes in large measure from the persons most vitally affected — namely, the women .'nemselves. The National Suffrage Association (which naturally seeks to make out the best possible case for suffrage), estimates that there are i.l. ree millions of women in the United States sympathetically allied A-ith the suffrage movement, and this includes not merely the memers of suffrage associations, but all women in sympathy with the movement. With an estimated female population of from forty-five c forty-seven millions, this constitutes about six and a half per cent, of this population, and allowing for women under twenty-one years A age, both in the total female population and among the women who are suffragists, we reach the conclusion that the women who want the vote constitute not more than eight per cent, of all the .•omen in the country. While it is true that we have no definite statistics with regard to the State of Pennsylvania, there is good reason to believe that the National statistics form a safe basis of estimate in this State, and •iter making the most liberal allowances we are clearly justified in claiming a heavy feminine majority against woman suffrage — a majority of women who not only do not desire the ballot, but who are making earnest appeals against having this duty, with its many onerous attendant burdens, forced upon them. In all the activities of life the trend of the times is more and more towards specialization. Woman suffrage is in direct opposition to this tendency. It seeks to break down the distinction of method and function between the sexes. It inveighs against "spheres of ! action it insists that women should not only invade the distinctively I ' masculine fields of labor, but that they shall imitate the distinctively 1 masculine methods of procedure. This program can only be carried out by forcing men into distinctively feminine fields — the net : result being, of course, a decreased total production. To suppose : otherwise is to contravene a universally accepted economic law. Woman suffrage, therefore, instead of being in the line of prog- - ress, is clearly a retrogression. If it be not a step backward, then all the deductions of economic philosophy must be rejected or revised. The conferring of the franchise upon women would result in one of two situations. First, men and women would vote according to individual preference, along general lines of thoughts having noth- : ing to do with Sex ; in which case, the net result would be simply to 1 double the vote, delay the count and vastly increase the expense without affecting the outcome. Or, secondly, men and women would divide along sex lines, leading to diverse and warring policies destructive of family harmony, the home life and the orderly administration of public affairs. THE CASE OF SAM When lawyers, the gents who engineer the making of laws, get ' stumped, legally, morally and professionally, we sometimes help them i out by offering a little common sense. Here's an instance: Down in Arkansas they've got Sam Bell under life sentence on , one count and under death sentence on another, in a case of Sam's < murdering four of his wife's relatives. f The "lawmakers have so fixed it that Sam's life sentence is a i bar to his execution, nor can he be sent up for life, because he occu- J pies the death cell. < Common sense would cut this Gordion knot by hanging Sam, * which would surely be the termination of his life and life sentence. ] But— Oh, well ! if red tape saves a man, occasionally, instead of hang- i ' ing him, it mav help in the crusade against hanging anybody. ,

METAL WORKERS PROTEST ; Baldwin's to Stop Employing!] Non-Union Men. The general i treat among the metal , workers throughout the country, espe- • iliy those engaged in the manatae- ] ture of mr.n.tiotis of war, locomotives ■ and automobiles, will have little effect ] on the conditions in Philadelphia. Ac- . coring to the leaders n tne meial 1 trades in this city the agreement made between :h.; Of I ploy era and employees in 1914 was inat'e in good frith, and has been carried cut in good faith. The agreement was for three years, and, accord'tig to these authorities, the details of the agreement will be carried out to the letter. There is one chance, however, . that there will be dissension between those ulio are erecting the arms plant at Kddystone and the uniou metal workera in this section. A committee consisting of Leonard Kraft, Joseph Allison, Kdward Kccnan and Joseph Kitebie. has been appointed to meet Works, for the purpose of arranging the discontinuance of the employment of non-union men in the erection of the biddy-stone plant, an J in I lie working of the plant after its erection. Mr. Kraft will call upon President Johnson today to arrange for the conference tomorrow. Mr. Kraft said last night that he felt sure that there will be a peaceable arrangement made. There will also be a meeting tonight by the Metal Trades Council in the Parkway Building to discuss the question of unrest among the metal workers in this and other cities. A ijraft of any grievances which they feel they are suffering will be made, and there will be a meeting on Friday niglit for the purpose of either ratifying or rejecting the draft of grievances.
