THE RANT AND KANT
Pity they can’t muzzle Senator Heflin of Alabama
who would drag his Ku Klux Klan fight into the
halls of Congress and stir anew his bitter tongue the i
old controversy between Protestants and Catholics.
Enlighted as we claim to be and as tolerant as
we proudly seem, religion is one topic that men cannot
sanely and amicably discuss. There is no question about
the ascendency of church or state in this country, and
Senator Heflin was sent to Congress to devote his at
tention to affairs of state, not to go about for hire to
preach his doctrines on religion where they are not
wanted. j
We claim that this country is broad enough for
every man to find a place where he can follow and
practice the religion he wants. If he has certain ways
of performing his rites before God that’s his business.
If we want to line up with the native Alaskan and
use the totem pole for a family record and think of
the “Happy Hunting Grounds” as our final reward,
why not? It makes no difference how many trails
we take we are all going to the same place anyway.
Of what earthly good is a hot-headed demi-god
of the South parading his views in the North, or the
East or the West. The Crusaders tried to put it over
on Palestine and left their whitening bones on the
desert and Mohammed still reigns in his portion of the i
world. Personally we knew some Confusions and Bhud
dists who were real guys and kept their noses clean and
we have any number of friends among Catholics, Jews,
Protestants, Methodists, Short Water Baptists, Mor
mons, Mennonites, tax-dodgers, hypocrits and bootleg-,
gers. They all have their opinion and are welcome to j
them.
It seems to us that one of the most marvelous of
humane doctrines is that of the silent tongue. This, truly, j
is a God-given .gift. A thief or a murderer may be Jailed,
or silenced but not so with the character assassinator. |
We should remember these brief words and weigh each j
and every utterance. At the present time we have.many!
visitors here; let us not pass idle gossip to our visitors
about our neighbor.
We admit that mining is a great industry and the
mainstay of the Territory. We also contend that Kodiak
Island can be developed as a great stock-raising empire
but they must have roads to do it. We invite the attention
of the Alaska Road Commission once more to this fact.
And while still insisting on roads to mining districts we
would like to see roads tapping the districts where cat
tle and sheep range.
