Judge Hoott has not hurt himself po
litically by calling Mr. Rosewater to a
halt, because the people believe the
talented editor has over-stepped the
bounds of propriety, if not of the law,
in dealing with men in official posi
tions. THE World-Herald contained an ar
ticle last Monday morning which set
forth the outward alms and objects of
the A. O. II. In mentioning the mili
tary companies of the organization the
writer says:
"Many of the military companies
have succeeded in giving its members
thorough knowledge of military tac
tics and discipline, and today their
companies form a great factor in the
Irish-American Military union of the
United States, an organization com
posed of Irishmen and men of Irish de

is no need of alarm from Romanism.

When the devil gets mixed with his
subjects in broils, the stew is apt to be
come scorched. Tho Chicago Times
uses its ungulded editorial buffoonry,
trying to present the theories to the
world that the American Protective
Association would meddle with the
religious factor of the Roman Catholic
church. The Time slings a muddy
editorial, which reads:
"What with Bishop Ttonacum ar
rayed against the priests of his parish
and Mgr. Batolll threatening Arch-
bishop Corrlgan with an appeal to the
papal consistory it would appear that
the Roman Catholic church in America
has trouble enough on its hands at
present without being subjected to any
additional annoyances at the hands of
the pestiferous A. F. A." ( ,
"This association does not care whit
what the members of that rellgio

STltlKINa VASES.
The advice has been given the read
er of this paper so often to patronize
business men who advertise In this
paper that It seems like ft waste of time
to renew that request, yet at tho risk
of wearying you we again take up that
question. The opponents of this move
ment never fall to spend their money
with men whom they know to be per
fectly sound on their side of tho ques
tion. Then why should you bo less
careful to patronize those men who
have had the coursge to come out
on the side you believe to be right?
We have in our possession a communi
cation from a prominent business man
in Chicago wherein we are informed
that the Romun Catholics of bis neigh
borhood hod walked boldly into his
place of business and informed him they
would Institute a boycott on him if he
did not prevent newsboys from selling
the Chicago Amkrican on the corner
In front of his store, and if his clerks
persisted in buying said puper. Just
how they expected him to go about the
task of carrying out their demands is
not quite clear, yet a man who has no
control over the acts of elthor the
newsboys or his clerks, except so far a
their services concern his customers,
is threatened with Roman Catholic dis
pleasure. Another gentleman in this
olty has informed us that he has been
boycotted because ho had the nerve to
say tho outrageous assaults on our
newsboy was as damnable as it was un
just and unlawful, yet in spite of all
such case Americans flock into the
itoros owned and operated by known
enemies of the American orders and
spend their money, never once think
ing that a few doors farther down the
street 1 an American who would
highly appreciate their patronage,
This is something for American to
remember. When you have a cent to
spend, spend it with those men who
champion your cause or are member of

organization known as the A. P. A
docs not take cognizance of labor un
ions or capitalists. Neither are dis
cussed or mentioned except when they
benome the champion of the Roman
Catholic church. Tho champions of
the American order do not single out
the K. of L. or speak of it collectively
with other labor bodies in a oondomna
tory manner as do the RcTCuin Catholic
leaders of thoso orefs when referring
to the A. P. A,,-' But their unfair tac
tics will he ,,ncir own overthrow. Prot

sents itself, and when they realize chat
they will not need any A. P. A. bugaboo
to scare thom away from leaders of tho
stripe of MtGulrc, Hajos, Powdorly
Soveilgn, Debs, et al. From now on
Protestant in labor unions must be
treated fairly they must not bo sold
out by their Roman Catholic associates,
as was the cuso in tho Illinois Central
strike of a few years ago. The priests
must not order their men back to work
and then hold tho corporations up for
favors if they expect harmony in labor
ranks.
JUDGE ELLEIVS CASE.
For several days the dally paper
have contained sensational headlines
concerning ex-County Judge Eller,
Upon bolng asked for an expression re
latlvo to the action of the county com
mlssloncr upon bis report, the judge
said: "It is not my desire, and I pre
sume It is not the wish of the commls
sloners to try the case In tho news
papers." Tho fact are, a great deal of
work has been done checking up bis
accounts, and, we aro reliably Informed,
hi accounts are correctly stated in his
rejKirt, and tho report stands approved
by the commissioners, so far as ac
counts are concerned.
Tho principal point In dispute, if we
can correctly diagnose the case, la a
difference of opinion as to the construc
tion ol the law authorizing the employ'
merit of help In the county judge'
oRlce. The law provide that "the
Judge of the county court mall be uj
plied vWi the Iwlp nemmnifor the uh of
mid ojjlce," and that "the salaries of
Said clerks shall tie fixed, allowed
and paid monthly by the county com
missioners out of tho general fund of
said county," The first year that Judge
Eller filled the office the commissioners
followed this law,
The last year the commissioner,
acting, as they undoubtedly believed
they had a right to, under the law, did
not pay tho clerk. Judge Eller pur
sued the course he believed was lawful
and just, and us ho believed his duty
to be, presented in hi settlement his
claim for clerk hire.
The Judge does not criticize tho com
missioner for their decision, and they
will have none to offer for his taking an
appeal from their decision.
A WHINING FALSEHOOD.
The St. Louis Jlrpublio drawls forth
in an editorial strain a chlld-llko,
please-don't-do-llr-defeat-us Roman
Catholic stylo. The organs of the
Vatican are coming to their broad and
milk, Before the A. P. A. is done
with Rome and hor press, they will
force them to do more than write lies
similar to the following, which ap
peared in the above-mentioned puier:
"Wo shall await with a dotrreo of In
terest not unmixed with anxiety that
plank In the Illinois ropubllcsn plat
form of this year dealing with the A.

laries forced the Illinois republicans to
the adoption of the Ed wards school
law. It forced them to resist there
peal of that law, It is now on record in
Its state platform lately adopted at
liloomington as demanding state in
spection of private and parochial
schools. It co-oieratod with the re
publican party in the late municipal
and town election in Illinois and gave
that party it gains and victories in
noarly every caso where there was ft
distinct democratic Ions.
Beyond ft doubt the democratic state

In I he IVtw,
Mr. ISxvl; llihp Hhth bat shown
to you the firtvsslty of circulating the
crlpturra, If younfieet ti eontinue
as a church, It would U a very ginnl
Idea for you to clrcuUte the sot iptiiri'
by the thousands so that your nople
will not believe m much that is con
trary Ui script un and which you have
retained of tho pagans, whom your
church - lelied to conciliate and solicit
their patronage. Hut If you Intend tho
IsHly to tie a political organ I mat Ion, I
would let tho ehuri'hns attend to the
circulation of the scriptures and attend
only to the management of tho polities
of tho various countries. If your priests
are asked whether your organization
is a political machino or not they will
answer that it is a church, and the
mother of all churches. If you ask
tome of our prominent) '''re-pullers"
In the political circles, they will say It
Is tho biggest political machino on
earth.
Many a man has mado his life miser
able by trying to do too many things
and when an organization attempts to
bo a church and at tho same time bo
the biggest "wire-puller" on earth,
she will be very apt to fall in both
things after a brief experience. So
tell the nation that vou are the big
Roman "wiie-puller" or stop tho polltl
cal Bcheme and tend to your business as
the manager of an organization you
call a church, and when the Jesuits
have pluublblo plans for political pur
poses, toll them you are running tho
business. And if they will persist In
their obstinacy, then put them under
the ban again, the same as they were
for centuries. And if that will not
"bring them to time," "lire 'cm."
After the Jesuits are arranged for,
then let the world Bee how a man can
control a church. Do not bo afraid of
investigation, do not boycott a family
because they give a Douay Testament
to a servant; do not kill a man because
he translates the Bible into tho lan
guage of tho people; do not say to the
world, "Love one another, confound
you," but win them by affection; do
not tolerate prison convents which are
not opened for Inspection; do not pro
hibit marriage of clergy; but return to
the purity of tho early church and at
tempt to show what an efficient bishop
you can bo intttoud of how deficient a
bishop can be.
Those suggestions are practical,
pointed and pungent and can change
the poverty of your environment to the
position of a jmpular prelate.

Australia and tho United States begin
to send important sums. If Catholi
cism continues to grow in theso coun
tries, it is easy to see that in time tho
vaticun will draw considerable sums
from thom. Again, there are the royal
courts, such as that of Austria, which
Bond annually rich presents to the
pope. This Is even true of the prince
of ancient Italian families. Francis II,,
ox-king of Naples, and Maria Theresa,
formerly grund duchess of Tuscany,
never fall to Bond their offerings,
which consist of sevoral thousands of
francs. Tho Com to do ( 'hambord was
accustomed to glvo annually 60,000
francs; the count of Paris sends the
same sum. Tho expenses of tho Vatican
amount annually to more than seven
million francs. Tboy aro regulated as
follows: For tho personal wants of tho
jsipe, ono-half million francs; for tho
cardinals, 700,000: for poor dlocoses.
400,000; administration of the Vatican,
1,800,000; secretary of state, ono hulf
mlllllon; employes and ablegates, one
and one-half millions; support of tbo
schools and poor, 1,200,000. The car
dlnuls at Rome live at the expenso of
tho pope, Tho Income of each from
this sourse is at least 22,000 francs.
Tho secretary of state is charged with
upholding relations with foreign gov
ernment by tho mediation of uunclo.
The four most important Paris,
Vienna, Madrid and Lisbon each re
ceive an allowance of 00,000 franca ft
year. Tho lust Jublloe of Popo Leo
XIII brought to the Vatican three mil
lion francs. At the first, celebrated
five years ago, twelve million franc
