end infidel? in writing, the charter
would never have been written. But he
gave liberty of conscience to all in
spite of the wise policy of asking only
for what was safe and what was then
far in advance of the intolerant age.
Even more, the Jew was tolerated here
and encouraged in his business affairs.
Dr. Jacob Lumbrazo, a Jew, resided in
the province and was given a license
to practice his profession when he wras
charged with blasphemy used in a dis
cussion, and it was brought to the at
tention of the court, the case was
never brought up for trial. It was
this broad toleration of Maryland that
caused her to advance more in six
month after her founding than Virgin
ia did in six years.”
Maryland was a refuge for the per
secuted Puritans of Virginia, for Jews
who were not received anywhere else,
and for all who desired to settle there.
Lord Baltimore gave secret instruc
tions that on the voyage in the Dove
and the Ark to their new home they
were to be very careful to preserve
unity and peace amongst all the pas
sengers on board, many of whom were
Puritans, and that they suffer no
scandal nor offense to be given to any
of the Protestants, whereby any just
complaint might be made of them, and
that for this end they cause all acts
of the Roman Catholic Religion to be
done as privately as could be; also
that they be silent on all occasions of
discourse concerning matters of relig
ion and treat Protestants with as much
mildness and favor as justice would
permit. This was to be observed on
land as well as on sea.
A movement for this same broad
toleration was l>egun lately when a
Jewish Rabbi, a Presbyterian minister,
and a Catholic priest toured together
the length and breadth of our land.
Brotherhod Day is to be observed,
too, another indication of mutual un
derstanding and good will among the
citizens of the nation. When the char
ity of Christ is better known and prac
ticed we shall have a better U. S. A.

"The Rise of Japan.’’
From the first activity in European
izing Japan, she has grown mighty,
and holds an envious place among the
world’s great powers. Her power is
evidenced by the fact that in 1904-1906
she completely routed gigantic Russia.
The history of Japan’s rise to power
is a most interesting phase ol modern
learning. Japan set the example of
Europeanization in the Orient for
China who has followed in her foot
steps a trifle falteringly and less ef
ficently. The small but mighty King
dom of the Far East is densely pop
ulated, in fact over-populated.
She is seeking a place to transplant
« portion of her inhabitants, and from
late activities, seems to favor the
Islands of the Phillipines, recently
freed by Uncle Sam. Hand in hand
with tile study of the white man’s
burden, goes the Civil Wars and rev
olutions of China and facts which are
the pillars of her promotion from a
most backward race cut off from the
world at large to a fairly modern
nation.
Now, Japan is taking the position
of a "big father” to all of Asia and
wants to establish an Oriental Monroe
Doctrine—Asia for Asiatics. If this
succeeds the "Open Door” of China
will be closed to foreigners, but China
and the Great Powers will no doubt,
have a say in the matter.

N. Hannon, 23, allegedly having some
thing to do with a still for whiskey
making which exploded in a Norfolk
residence about three weeks ago, set
ting the place afire and creating a dis.
turbance.
Hannon spent the night in jail and
the next day he was charged by the
officers before United States Commis
sioner Frank Dishner, of O’Neill, with
having operated an unlicensed whiskey
still and having possessed whiskey on
which no revenue had been paid.
Dishner set Hannon’s bond at $2,000

furnished as soon as he reached Nor
folk. They went down to Norfolk last
Thursday afternoon. Hannon is mar
ried.

Former O’Neill Hoy Makes
Good On Eastern Stage
The Creighton Alumus, official pub
lication of the graduates of Creighton
University at Omaha, has this to say
of a young man who was born ir}

“Damian Flynn, ex-Commerce ’31,
who left Omaha on a cattle train last
September bound for Broadway and
the legitimate stage, has won favor
able acclaim from theatre critics for
his leading part in “Biography,’’ a re
vival of the recent Broadway success.
The play opened April 2 in Philadel
phia with Flynn in the masculine lead.
Both Philadelphia papers, the Public
Ledger and the Inquirer, praised
Flynn’s work highly. Flynn goes by
the stage name of O’Flynn, the ancient
spelling of the family name. The
play is scheduled to open at the Boule
vard theatre in New York.

prominent in dramatic productions of
the Creighton Players and starred in
many Omaha Community Playhouse
productions during the past five years.’’
