Catholic Speak
ers Discuss Princi
ples of Faith
Meetings Held on 4th Street Saturday
and Sunday by Laymen Speak
ers Touring Country.
Conducting a mission to bring
about a better understandings of the
Roman Catholic church among those
who may not be aware of the teach
ings. David Goldstein and Theodore
Dorsey, lay speakers, visited this city
on Saturday and Sunday.
These gentlemen have been mak
ing these speaking tours of the coun
try for the past two years and have
spoken in many sections on the
church of their faith and its teach
ings. They travel in their own car,
painted in the papal colors and which
is also provided with a public address
system that aids in the presentation
of the message to the public.
The first meeting here was held on
South Fourth street which had been!
closed for the half block and seats
arranged for the public that theyi
might enjoy the interesting address
in comfort. The meetings were pre
sided over by Mr. Dorsey, who gave a
brief outline of their work and the
mission that they had been carry
ing to the people of the nation.
The topic of Mr. Goldstein's open
ing address was that of "The Cred
entials of the Catholic Church," in
which the speaker discussed the his
toric part of the Catholic church and
its claim of the first and original
church.
The Catholic church he said, has
lasted 1.900 years since its estab
lishment by Christ Himself when he
said to Simon. "Thou art Peter and
upon his rock I shall build "liy
ehtrrcb," because Christ haaremain
ed with it, in His corporate body as
He promised.
The church, said Mr. Goldstein, is
a "living spiritual society of men
or their successors, commissioned to
go forth teaching and preaching to
all nations by Christ Himself."
Christ did not say, "I shall build
my churches," asserted Mr. Gold
stein, recalling that today there arej
about 400 denominations in America
alone. The papal succession began
with Peter followed with Linus, Cle
tus, Clement and down to the 260th
pope who holds the chair of St. Peter
today, Pius XI. The first Pius took
office in the year 140.
He quoted from the prophets Isaiah,
Daniel and Malachias who foretold
( the coming of Christ, the establish-
ment of His church, the sacrifice of
I the mass, "For from the rising of
the sun even to the going down . . .
In every -place there is sacrifice and
there is offered in My name a clear
oblation . . . said the Lord of hosts."
f Sunday Meeting.
I The subject of the address of Mr.
Goldstein on Sunday evening was
that of "The Catholic Church and
the Tolling Masses." The speaker as-
Eerted that the Catholic church had
.always been the champion of the poor
a
1
and the oppressed, "wny men snoum
he church be persacuted. if it is, as
t claims, the divinely appointed body
eft bv Christ?" he asked. Christ
llimself was nersecuted and His
Wstical body is like Him in that, the
Speaker said.
c effort a in fcphalf Of
X:
ankind and civilization he listed as
eluding Magna Carta, on which the
Constitution of the United States is
Sased, elimination of Infanticide, re-
tognition of the marriage of slaves
the early days, establishment of
f
dav of rest for laborers in the
me of Constantine. the teaching of
.espect for lawfully constituted au
thority, organizing nations into gov
rnments. lessening or me Horrors of
war, the founding of hospitals, or
phanages and rfuges for the distress
ed.
The church is the one spiritual In
stitution standing 100 percent
against socialism and communism, as
serted Mr. Golstein. It does not dis
approve socialism on account of op
position to the poor .but because of
love for the toil masses. The church
teaches that man came from God and
should prenare to return to him. So
cialism denies God, extols the brother
hood of man. The churches teaches
there can be no brotherhood of man
unless there is a fatherhood of God
The church stands for stability in
family life, the socialists for freedom
for each to follow his own fancies
Stressing that interpretation ot
the Bible Is left to the church, Mr.
Goldstein showed it made for unity
of belief and reminded his hearer:
that Catholics are urged to read the
Bible as the law of God and are giv
en special indulgences for daily read
lng of it.
In closing he said, "The Catholic
church is the chhrch of the poor
and I pray God that it will also re
mai nso." Assisted by Theodore Dor
sey, a quiz period was held in which
Questions from the audiences were
answered.
Red Sox Wins
from the Colored
Globe Trotters
Have Little Difficulty in Winning
13 to 4, as Alleged League
Winners Are Weak.
The baseball customers that gath
ered at Athletic park on Sunday aft
ernoon had the opportunity of seeing
the Red Sox make easy going of their
contest with the Globe Trotters of
Omaha, reputed to be winner in a
colored league, but who were far
from league like players in their con
test with the locals.
The Sox started in the first inning
to annex the contest and two tallies
were checked up for them, Schliscke
opening with a double and scoring on
the two sack blow of Newman who
later came in on the single of Frank
Krejci.
In the second inning Schliscke
again figured in the scoring, Hop
kins was on in a fielders choice that
had retired Kriskey, making two
down, Schliscke then proceeded to
smash out a triple that scored Hop
kins and Alex registered on the single
of Spidelli ' '
With two down in the fourth
Schliscke and Spldell were walked
and then Svoboda singled to score
Schliscke and then Honos Newman,
who was having a perfect day in all
departments of the game, smacked a
double to clean up the bases.
The locals with four runs in the
eighth had the game sewed up so
tightly that the visitors were unable
to seriously threaten in their half
of the ninth they were able to tally
one.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:

a Feature of the
Korn Karnival
Farmer Parade
Dedicated to Theme of "Century
iTcgiess" with Comic Interludes
On Thursday Afternoon
A group of farmers from Uiis vicin
ity accompanied Charles Barnard to
Hamburg, Iowa, Saturday to witness
the Fremont county farmer parade,
one cf the last cf a series of weekly
parades held in the Iowa town thru
out the summer. The object of their
plan vas to get ideas for use in the
"Century of Progress in Travel and
Farming Methods" parade to be stag
ed here on the afternoon of the sec
ond day of our Korn Karnival, Thurs
day afternoon, Sept. 21st. This pa
rade, like the one at Hamburg, will
be an all-farmer parade, planned on
an even more elaborate scale than any
that have ever been attempted in this
part of the country.
Mr. Barnard said Saturday night.
they enjoyed seeing the Iowa parade.
but felt confident they were going to
put on a much better one. He declar
ed he has receved the most whole
hearted support froim everyone he
has asked to assst and take part, and
said that with a theme to work to,
such as is the case here, instead of
going at it haphazardly, they can pro
duce a beautiful parade that will de
pict the changing modes from the
days of the Indian and ox carts down
to the modern motor cars and aero
planes as well as from the hand cra
dle down to the latest combines and
tractors. It will be a sight well worth
seeing, from an educational stand
point alone, to say nothing of the
many comical features that will be
woven into the theme.
Bill Wetenkamp is Icing of the fun
makers or clowns, of whom there will
be from ten to fifteen scattered out
in the parade and they have all been
working overtime figuring out new
and laughable stunts to pull.
"It will be a parade that will make
the ' Plattsmouth business men go
some to equal with their commercial
parade on the following day," said
Mr. Barnard. "We are not letting the
public in or our secret plans, but
when you see the farmers coming
down the street you will be surprised
at some of the stunts the boys have
worked out."
The number of entries is growing
every day and now it looks like al
most every farm home within a rad
ius of ten to twelve miles to the west
and south of Plattsmouth will be rep
resented by some sort of entry.
"One of our greatest troubles is In
getting some of the desired old time
equipment," said Mr. Barnard, "but
the countryside has been scoured for
certain needed articles, and with
very good results."
Here in town, folks are looking for
ward to this parade as one of the
outstanding highlights of the Korn
Karnival this year, and everyone will
be on the curbline when the time ar
rives for the parade to move forward.
Another pleasing parade will un
doubtedly be that of the rural schools
on Saturday afternoon. Some splendid
prizes are being offered for the best
school floats and in addition every
school entering will receive a base
ball and a bat for their playground.
The three other parades to be held
during the four day festival include
children's parade on Wednesday af
ternoon. Kangaroo Kourt parade on
Wednesday evening and the commer
cial parade participated in by Platts
mouth business men on Friday after
noon. I

Relief Workers
Cease Activities
at Fort Crook
Fact That Members of Force Not
Allowed Any Cash, Causes
Stopping of Work.
The force of men that have been
engaged In working at the U. S. mili
tary reservation at Fort Crook, have
been taken off pending the reaching
of some settlement as to the basis of
pay of the men.
These men were selected from
those being cared for by the relief
commission and it was expected that
the men would bs cared for by script
or orders for a part of the work as
well as a small amount from the cash
funds of the commission.
The sum allowed the men in orders
and script has been quite small and
as they have been unable to secure
needed funds for use for rentla, light
or other necessities, it was decided
that it be best to have this work elim
inated until the men could be given
more adequate relief.
The men have been hauled to and
from the work in aiary trucks jand
to carry a lunch and-which has been
a privation to many owing to the
limited amount of supplies that was
possible to secure from the small al
lowance allowed for the men, some
of whom have large families.
A conference on the matter of the
use of the workers In the Missouri
river projects will be held at Lincoln
this week and all of the counties ad
joining the river will be represented
as the work will be divided among
the several counties and on projects
that adjoin the different counties the
labor will be taken from the resi
dents of that particular county.

parlors and had started for Kearney
early Tuesday, the accident that
caused his death occuring shortly af
ter 7 a. m. on highway No. 36, two
and a half miles west of Benson.
According to the information re
ceived at the office of the sheriff of
Douglas county, the car which Mr.

skidded in mud that covered the pave
ment. It was hurled into a ravine
and crashed into a tree. Mr. LaRue's
skull was fractured when he wa3
thrown through the windshield. "
The "deceased was one of the well
known residents of the southern por

DOG CAUSES TROUBLE
The tale of the accident that be
fell James Farnham, leader of the
junior drum and bugle corp3 and
general civic booster, has Just become
public. Jim was in command of the
drum corps that appeared at the
state fair at Lincoln on the opening
day and was preparing to get the
boys lined up and ready to do their
stuff for the parade when the bad
luck occurred.
A large dog of the near wolf breed,
was standing nearby when Mr.
Farnham was getting on with his
work and the animal suddenly ae
cided to try out the strength of the
material of Mr. Farnham's overalls
which he was wearing as a uniform.
The cloth gave way and the result
was that James was minu3 about
two-thirds of the overalls and the
parade but a matter of a few moment3
away. The fact that it was Sunday
and the. grounds far from the busi
ness section made it look dark for
the parade, but fortunately a Cass
county man was on the grounds who
possessed an extra pair of overalls,
and the day was saved.
