80. Heretics ore to be deprived of ull civil

deposition. Besides, are the Inquisitors es
pecially deputed by the apostolic sea.
Every bishop In his diocese Is thought to be,

power with those already mentioned In a
cause of heresy.
Kit. In every promissory oath, although

ments Issued In favor of ecclesiastical
persons of ecclesiastical liberty, and against

P.O. 8. of A.
Its History, Principles and Objects, as
Set Forth by the National Secretary.
This Patriotic Order was first organ
ized in Philadelphia, in 1W, and had
extended through several eastern and
southern states, when the civil war
in 13ol compelled the suspension of its
operations.
After the restoration of peace it was
reorganized, and it is now firmly es
tablished in nearly every state and ter
ritory of the United States, and the
membership is increasing at a rapid
rate, so that today its camp-fires are
burning brightly and its standards
waving triumphantly In all parts of our
broad land.
The Order has for its objects the in
culcation of pure American principles,
and reverence for American institu
tions; the cultivation of fraternal affec
tion among American freemen; the op
position to foreign interference with
state interest in the United States of
America, and to any form of organ i:d
disregard of American laws and cus
toms; the preservation of the constitu
tion of the United States, and the ad
vancement of t'Ur free public school
system. Its immediate benefit are
home benevolence, the care of I U sick,
the burial of its dead, the protection of
and assistance to all connected with it
who may be in need,
Next to the love for the Cre.nUr, we
believe that Patriotism is the highest
and noblest affection of the human
soul.
We believe that the institutions of no
country are safe without patriotic citi
zens, and that none will so jealously
guard and protect thern as those who
turn born and reared under their In
fluence, We bellev that we have the
best form of government it ft the masses
on the fac of the earth. For the wei
fare, prosperity and liberty of all
American citizens and their deseend
ants, we desire to protect out iurm (A
government und preserve (t intact
from the influence and control of any
foreign power, By disseminating serf
tfments of loyalty und patriotism; by
establishing a fraternal fueling of devo
tion Ui country amongst all Americans,

by foreign speculator or adventurers,
who do not wish to become citizens,
and wo believe that all of tho resources
and privileges of tho country should bo
reserved for tho exclusive use of citi
zens, either native-born or naturalized.
We are in favor of crushing out that
which is already here, and of taking
measures which will prohibit from en
trance into our ports, in the future, of
that foreign element which comes hero
to advocate communism, and nihilism,
and which does not identify itself with
our country, and does not respect our
flag. We invite all native-born citi
zens who believe in their country and
ita institutions, and who desire to per
petuate free government, and who wish
to encourage a brotherly feeling among
Americans to the end that we may ex
alt our country, to join with us in this
our work of fellowship and love.
Any white male person shall be
eligible to membership in this Order
who is of good moral character, sixteen
years of age, born on tho soil or within
the jurisdiction of the United States; a
believer in the existence of a Supreme
Being as the Creator and Preserver of
the universe; opposed to the union of
church and state, and to the interfer
ence of any power.directly or indirectly,
in tho affairs of this government. We
have no quarrel with any man on ac
count of nationality or religion, but we
wish to accord equal justice to all
honest American citizens. Wo ask
that Americans be allowed fair play on
their own native soil, and we seek, by
educating public sentiment, to advance
the idea of "Americans for America,"
rather than to insist upon "America
for Americans."
In addition to the regular beneficial
system of the subordinate camps, there
is, under the management of the
national camp, a separate additional
Life Insurance feature, known as tho
"Mortuary Benefit Fund," of the P. O.
S. of A. Membership in it ia optional
with any member of the Order under
fifty years of age, after medical exam
ination.
Only such members of the Order as
are enrolled in this Special Benefit
Fund will be entitled to any of its
privileges. The membership certifi
cates are for 11000.00.
The cost of admission, exclusive of
medical examination fee, is $4.00 and
must accompany the application. There
are no extra dues, but the members
must continue in an active camp of the
Order. The only cost after admission
is for death assessments. The highest
number in any one year has been six.
The assessments are as follows, for
certificates of tlOOO.00:

This is the only insurance feature
provided by the laws of the Order, and
is an established success. Every camp
should select a medical examiner, and
also appoint one of its members as
solicitor or agent.
Full particulars will be given by the
National Secretary, on request.

Their Objects, Aims and Intentions
Fully Set Forth.
We affirm our devotion to the public
school system of this country. We be
lieve in comjiulsory education, and that
all teaching In our schools should be in
the Kngliih language to the end that
future generations may be able to take
their place in the ranksof our country's
workers, educated in the history, the
customs and manners of Americans,
Wa guaranty to every roan the lib
erty ot worshiping God, according to
the dictates of his own conscience, and
would give every assistance to protect
all in the exercise of his liberty, but
we object most strentisisly to the in
terference of any church, no matter
under what name it may exist, in the
temporal affair of this country.
We believe that the Bible should be
read in our public schools, not Ut Utwi
sectarianism, but to inculcate Its teach
ings. It is th recognized standard oi
all moral and civil law, w therefore
believ that our children should be
educated In if teaching, but; that no

We believe that patriotism and love
of country should be instilled into the
hearts of children, and that with the
sacred words of "Mother, Homo and
Heaven," our children should be taught
that our flag is the symbol of all that
makes a "home" for us. We should
place a flag upon every public school in
herlland. and a Bible within, and to
object lesson therein set forth should
be a beacon light in every storm which
hreatens to engulf us.
In this noble and patriotic work we
ask the cordial and hearty co-operation
of all good citizens. In this grand
work we need the helping hand of all
organizations holding the same views
and principles. We have no time for
jealousies and bickerings, but with a
united front we should march forward,
shoulder to shoulder, remembering
that "United we stand, divided we fall."
In the strictest sense, we are a na
tional political organization, but we
oppose with unanimity trie slightest
taint of partisanship. "Our Country"
is our motto, and we keep this motto
steadily before us. We are cognizant
that there are great and powerful
enemies within our midst, requiring
the strictest sur vel lance of all who are
at heart, word and in deed Arrwrimn.
We, as members of this order, affirm
our allegiance to the object of the
order as paramount to any partisan
affiliation, and urge upon the member
ship harmonious, united and intelligent
action in carrying out the principles.
