1 Its Aims And Object,
Probably nothing la moro nilaumlor

aim of tho A. P. A, To begin will),
It I a pntilotlo orgrinlfilloii and Hockn
to defeat tlio political monmiro and
achoinea na advanced mid advocated
by Homo to control our government
and liHliliitlonH. No light I waged
ngiiliiNt Individual Catholic; nor I the
right of Cnlhollo wot'Nhlp quoMllouod.
There oxIhIm a wide dlHereuco between
Homanbou and CathollclKiii. Homan
bun I political to tho cxcIiihIoii of ro
llgioti idea, mid being directly an tug
onlNtlo to our law and government,
make It an ImpoHNlbllity for Catholic
to obey her oanimand and teaching
and keep Inviolate their oath of alleg
iance to government. Now the
Ignorant and Illiterate maH0 which
form tho body of tho Homan Oathollo
church think, and, In fact, believe thl
I all right, but tho intelligent and
thoughtful Cathollo know It to bo
wrong, and Juxt no long a Catholic
aro forbidden the right to rimaon and
lubiult to being led and impound on by
Homo, harder and fiercer will tho
battle be waged again! thl barrier
erected between roiornn and blind obed
ience. JuNt ho long a Homo denle
the right of the liberty of the pre, of
coiiHcience, of apeech, and denle the
freo exerelno of oilier religion, and
proclaim the damnation of thomi who
dlaobey her, Jut o long will there bo
call for aoclotio to alt down on audi
preemption, and audi ocletle are a
blowing to ProtoNtanl and (Jnlhollc
alike, That any foreign potentate
Mhould dictate to the people of thl
country I an Inmilt and again! all
republican Idea and reaon. (inind
Inland I well repfimented with good
Cathollo clllou, and aomo of them
have admitted tho right of oxUteneo of
the A. P. A, and Nlmllar organization
In Ornnd Iland and cluowhore, A few
Ignorant Catholic, fanatical almot' to
a point of Inaanlty, have loudly and
foollhly curcd the A, P, A, on tho
NtreeU and eUewhere. Much poolo
hurl tho church and aid the A, P, A.
They know absolutely nothing about
the order and In their ,eal to injure it,
make the mot absurd atnteuiont,
thereby calling down ridicule upon
their dofermolc head, Progre 1
the headlight of the A, P. A, and noth
ing can atop progress, It being a law of

Tho A. P. A., properly apeaklng, I
nlmply a patriot In Institution. One
ling, ono government and no Interfer
ence, i what It light for. It oppose
Humanism In America, knowing It to
bo pernicious and dangerous. Cath
olic who bellevo that Homo should bo
tho first consideration and our republic
tho second, are not good cltlens And
should move to Homo. A the A. P. A.
become belter understood nil citi.on,
regardless of creed, 111 liavo a still
kindlier feeling toward It. It work
for tho best interest of tho country wo
llvo In. Wo bellevo that Homan Cath
olicism Is a delusion and a snaro, and
our turn Is to oonvlnoo all, both Cath
olic and Protestants, that It I such, and
whatever may bo Haul I said with kind
Intent, although to tho deluded Cath
olic believer the truth may Hotnetlino
appear unpleasant. Wo bellevo that If
tho pillar of Homan Catholicism bo
torn away tho structure will fall, and
the main pillar are Ignorance, Idola
try, fanaticism, Intolerance, bigotry,
darkness, r-ealotry, blind tradition, nar
row thought, blind obedience. May
(lod give u the strength of Samson
that we may pull down these pillar
which support and uphold the tcinplo
