With the hope of avoiding another Madison Square Oar-de- n Roman Catholic church, like Lord Acton In England, one Is reminded that this group has produced, right in the modern scientific situation, minds capable of most thorough application of the scientific attitude. "The truth Is that we must watch every one of the groups, religious and secular. In respect to keeping our liberties secure. None of us can be trusted with a leadership which Is not subjected to the inspection of very critical minds. "The fear that a Catholic president would suddenly turn the United States Into a Catholic nation need not be taken seriously. In a democracy with every dtlsen In possession of the ballot such a suggestion Is singularly farfetched and absurd. The probability is that a Catholic president would treat the Protestant elements In his constituency with even more consideration, than has sometimes characterised the action of Protestant presidents . . . The suggestion of danger to our Institutions and risks to our Intellectual and political and religious freedom from the presence of a Catholic president seems to me to be the wildest sort of vagary." In short. Dr. Hough would have a Catholic candidate measured by the same tests and standards which any other candidate would have to meet, If so measured he Is able and says: to qualify for the position, let us have no hesitation In electing him. Nothing will do more to produce an era of good-wilAnd there Is no wise principle which need be sacrificed. at a meeting held last night at ' , fc THOMAS HOMER Abstracter HOMER REALTY CO.

Dr. Hough, who Is pastor of the Central Methodist Episcopa church In Detroit, has no fear that a Catholic president would use his Influence to Impose his religious views on the nation, and believes that a Catholic In the White House would promote an era of "When a Protestant refuses to vote for a Catholic whose character and abilities he admits, and with whose policies he agrees, and makes that refusal simply because the candidate Is a Catholic, writes Mr. Hough In Plain Talk (New York, a new magaslne, dedicated to tolerance, "that Protestant la not worthy of the name or of the privilege of American cltisenshlp." We should be eager to have Catholics share- in public office in proportion to their percentage of the population, says this Methodist leader, an dwe should not rest quite contented until the time has come when we can place a Catholic, a man of unquestioned character and ability. In the chair of the president of the United States.1 To those who fear that reactionary legislation would follow the election of Catholic president. Dr. Hough writes: Personally, I am not Inclined to feel that there Is any very great danger from the Catholic church at this point Certainly Protestantism has made Its own unhappy contribution to the forces of reaction, and when one thinks of men of vast erudition In the V 4.
