There are a lot of crooked people on relief who are chiscling off the taxpayers. Sometimes they are caught.

POLITics! ) The bitter exchange between the Rev- | | erend Charles E. Coughlin and John J. O’- Conner, Chairman of the House Rules Com- mittee, made interesting reading but other- | wise the affair is unimportatit. Father Coughlin, sometimes referred | | to as the Detroit Radio Priest, has achieved } national support from some of those ‘who | issues of the day. When the Catholic Friest attacked ~ Mr. O’Conner, in a radio broadcast, the New York representative, also a Catholic, re- | torted that he would kick him “from the } ; White House to the Capitol.” The Citizen does not intend to go in- ; to the relative merits of the argument be- | tween the two Catholics but perhaps it} might be well to use the incident to review | the complications that inevitably ensue } when preachers or priests move in to the | political arena. \ The generally accepted doctrine of ! the United States is that its citizens shall | enjoy freedom of religious worship, that | the government will not interfere in the religious field, and the obvious corollary is that the servants of religion should not actively participate in the affairs -ef, gov-. ernment. It is always a mistake, in our opinion, when a priest or preacher injects himself into a campaign to be determined by a-vote of the people. Whether the man be ay, Bishop Cannon or a Father Coughlin and tary reform, the of the church will best serve his high calling by attending to the duties of his church and: fulfilling the role of religious leader of his flock. The freedom of religious worship, ! guaranteed by the Constitution, cannot be of the representative preserved in this country if men :loth utilize the sanctuary of the church to while leading an onslaught against other Inevitably, in time, the religious lead- e* merges into some form of political lead- and op- The line religious man becomes con- wnien differentiates the from the man of the world fused, and the puvlic at large will not ny separation of the man from s office. Sooner of later, the sie fous eee: in politics will lose some mp and his politicol op- potents will “trim his wings” and, in so doing very probably injure the religious instituticn he represents. It will not avail, in that day, for the preachers and priests to raise the ery of “religious persecution.” THE SLOT MACHINE ign If Key West does not want slot ma- chines they can be eliminated entirely by invoking the provisions of the law which ollows a referendum for that very purpose. The cities of this state have various means of approach cither to eliminate them altogether or to harass their opera- tions. Tallahassee apparently has the _ best control by requiring signs announcing the percentum, of payoff and removal from near sidewalks, from baements and from | upstairs rooms. Miami will apparently limit the take of the owners to 20 pert cent. Homestead will call a referendum for their elimination. Fort Myers’ one lonely ma chire gave up the ghost under the strain of continual heckling and_ inspection, which goes to show if the people don’t! want anything, it might as well throw up| the sporge and take the licking lying down. Evidently Key West wants these “‘one- armed bandits” or it would not tolerate FIFTY TONS OF FOOD The average person over a period of fifty years puts more than fifty tons of what he considers food into his body, ac- cording to Dr. Ralph P. Baker, a Penn- ylvanian: “Our greatest fault is Dr. Baker said. ‘The body only the amount of food needed for | growth, tissue replacement and energy. All excess is waste, and waste matter toxin. “Food intoxication and alcoholic in- toxication are similar in| many _ respects. ; Frem a moral point of view they are iden- Each has its origin in perverted ap- over-eating,” will utilize is tical. | Petites. “The food intoxicant gets a headache if he misses a meal; the alcoholic needs his eyeopener.
