Ferdinand E Lechleitner stand up
Where were you on the 5th and 6th of
February The public asks this ques
tion and there are more to follow
print Two weeks ago The Demo
crat said a certain priest shut him
self up in his private room in order to
escape being called upon to administer
thejast rites of the church to one of his
paphioners Leohleitner takes this
home to himself as intended but his
defense of his action is nothing but
abuse of Prof Bad Dous bis de
fense deny the charge Fie intimates
that he was out f town at the time
but hat foums for nothing because
he cannot prove fact There
are jflitneissKii to the contrary This is
Kw onlypnint at issue and beyond a
dHtense of its editor is tliVoitly6riP
The Democrat will discuss When
the priest showed how little his oul

was vasli hi Hrtimi in ni mitter he

conspicuous all over the Uiitrt States by a un even the respecl which is jjnerallv
tion addressed to the Legislature then in J
sion to ecure through tongress the forcible
election of the Apostolic Delegate from the
United States
Is it really possible that Prof Bad now of
Valentine presided then oyer the destinies of a
newspiper inspired it with such a diabolical
spirit and manufacture sich a foolish document
and petition I well remember the rt wh
the faithful but indignant Catholics narc cd i
aborly to tlut prlu mq shoo dlu rihu the
discontinuance of that sliest to their adoros i
If this is thecase and I have grave suspicious
that it is so hen indee i has the learned en
wonderfully chanced with his domii i from a
Saul to a Paul However I am afraid that be
nas oniy pur on a masK ot religion lor his own
wicked designs and purposes Suppose tnat I
would drag him under ids real name into acoirt
of justicejto his surprise produce there as evi
dencfr from the Auditors office in Chicago a
railroad ticket signed by me jointly with the
conductor and properly duted secure as wit
nesses the same conductor his brxkenian and a
whole congregation Would such a pro edure
not utterly destroy the further usefulness of his
office m Valentine Even without such a pro
cedure of law Prof Bad Is not aud never was au
object of my notice
Ferdixand E Lechleitnkk
Really the above is amusing and
were it not for the fact that the article
seeks to convey the impression that
the editor of this paper referred tb as
Prof Bad is opposed to Catholicism
in general and that he was at one time
a leader in the A P A and an organ
izer of mobs for the purpose of dis
turbing divine worship the screed Of
the enraged priest would appear with
out oomment This is the excuse we
worthier object
Fr Lechleitner relates in detail cir

vided of course that he

who possessed a spark of decency or
regard for hu fellow men would have
been guilty of such an act Prncerfnt

Nation ts Hate
AkCrookton Tuesday night a great
debate was bad on the question Re
solved That the Signs of the Times

Republic D H Thurston F F
Gordon and Elmer Bristol defended
the proposition while Geo Tracewell
Wm Davis and W D Morgareidge
offer our readers for trespassing upon opposed it The battle waged fierciy
space which should be devoted to some and loug and the judges decided that
themegative was the proper side of the
question George Tracewell bears his
cumstances which rightfully deserve honors meekly and says We may
condemnation if they are true but have little scraps among ourselves but
when the reverend gentleman says by j whtn it comes to a question of nation
insinuation that the editor was a leader al union were all Americans Rightl

God Perhp the editor is not the preciative audience Mrs Tracewell
person referred to though he has grave accompanied her husband to Crooks
suspicions that he is thp party aimed
j at in which case he will apologize To
prove that the editor is innocent it is
only necessary to state that he never
presided over the destinies of a news
paper in Newport that he was never
in or near Newport at the time referred
to and lastly that he nevei either in
private or in public posed as an an
tagonist of Catholicism Lechleitner
knows that these are the facts hence
his insinuations are all the more das
