The Young American League has been formed here with the object of spreading religious tolerance. The organization intends moving along “revolutionary” lines in connection with this purpose, and is making plans to form chapters throughout the country.
A clause in its constitution reads as follows:
“Because all people living in this goodly land, except the Indians, have come here from other lands, either by their own choice or that of their fathers, and because what-ever we have of “Weal and Woe” is the sum total of the combined efforts of this cosmopolitan aggregation of people called Americans, we therefore cannot countenance any preferment in race or creed, but must allow Christian or Pagan, Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant, full freedom and protection in his thought, conviction or worship, so long as the exercise of such conviction and worship does not interfere with the rights of another.”
