WHO ARE
The Deadly Parallel Shows That The Roman Catho
lics of Kansas City, Kansas, Have no Grounds
For Complaint
The conmittees of the different lioiuau Catholic congrega
tions of Kansas .City, Kas., met last Sunday and the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted. As an answer to their
complaint, we print 6ide by side with their resolutions the sayings
and teachings of the leaders of their church in reference to the
public schools.
"Whereas, We, citizens of the United
Suites, have been persecuted for the
last two years in this city beyond en
durance by the A. P. A.'s in every
form and shape, they having brougnt
to this place the vilest lecturers male
and female for that purpose;
4 "Whereas, The A. P. A.'s. by their
horrible oath, have banished from this
city all the former haimony, unity and
neighborly love, setting one neighbor
against the other, and making a laugh
ing stock of the words Chrlstian
charity;'
"Whereas, This fiendish persecution
has been inflicted upon us for no wicked
deed or treasonable act on our part, but
simply and purely for the sake of our
religion, though so sacredly guaranteed
in the great constitution of the United
States and of this state;
"Whereas, We, Catholic citizens,
have especially and principally been
denounced as vandals and destroyers of
our public schools, when In truth not a
single word or act of that nature can
be placed at our doors; but, on the con
trary, we find from the records of our
county treasurer that we Catholics
have during the past thirty years paid
over $200,000 in cash to uphold, help
and foster them, and all this without
any murmur or complaint never de
manding any service or equivalent for
this enormous amount of our taxes, and
never having been allowed, exceptonce
in thirty years, a representative on our
school board;
"Whereas, This unbearable persecu
tion so un-American Is perpetrated
against us, not by the common people,
but by the officers of the city princi
pally by the school board and its lead-
, ers (servants of the public, supported
by the taxes of all); therefore be it
"Resolved, That we claim, as citizens
and taxpayers of this city, the right
and privilege to turn in and demand
room for all our Catholic children (Over
1,000 in number) in spite of the present
crowded condition and limited means
and in spite of the fact that this, our
right and privilege, will reduce the
present school session to a session of
five months for all public schools in the
consolidated city: and be it further
more
"Resolved, That we, Catholic citi
zens, having placed these facts openly
before the public, shall look hereafter
upon any man or woman local or lav
ported who dares to represent Catho
lics as enemies and destroyers of the
public school, as as infamous liar and
knave too ignorant and too vicious for
any civilized christian community; and
be it furthermore
"Resolved, That we take steps to
bring the action of our present school
board to the notice of the county and
leave our cause to the judgment of
every just and righteous citizen.

olic Citizens."
THE AMERICAN SALOON
Subversive of the Principles and Purity
of the Social Autonomy.
There are those who think it is very
chic for Americans to tipple. But
fin-de-siecU Americans cannot consist
ently and safely patronize the saloon.
Drinking habits tend dustward. They
are of the earth earthly. They gen
erate, foster and encourage lubricity
and libidlnousness. Saloon associates
neither engender patriotic sentiment
nor stimulate American ideas, albeit
some good Americans occasionally enter
saloons. American saloonkeepers, as
a class have no patriotism; as a rule,
they care nothing for simon-pure
Americanism. Most saloonkeepers in
America are alien and antagonistic in
their ambitions, aims and purposes.
They are foreigners; they are a mere
excrescence upon the American body
social. Some of the heaviest contrib
utors to Roman Catholic funds are
saloonkeepers. If all American Prot
estants and all American non-Romanists
were to withdraw their support
from saloons, a great step would be
taken toward toppling over the vast
edifice of ecclesiasticism which foreign
and alien clerics have reared in the
midst of us. We, as a nation, cannot
successfully stem the tide of offensive
foreignism unless the power of the sa
loon In politics and in society is broken.
It is through the American saloon that
aliens accomplish most of their drastic,
despicable and dark designs. The Amer
ican saloon in politics is one of the most
momentous questions which can engage
the attention of the thoughtful and the
patriotic. No patriotic American
ought to patronize saloons. It Is the
duty of every American to boycott the
saloonkeeper. If each member of the
American Protective Association would
resolve that not one cent of his money

lectured at the opera house at Bristow,

was filled to Its utmost capacity, and
many were compelled to stand in the

focation. Mr. Dowers handled bis
subject "(separation of church and
state)" in a masterly manner, and
pointed out to his hearers the encroach
ment of this Roman iollticl organi
zation in a manner unknown to them
before. The state president was hon
ored (if it may be termed an honor) by

REVIVAL OF KNOWNOTHIXUIS.H.
Walter Sims Replies to Richard C Kerens
iu the Columns of tue Inter Ocean.
Chicago, 111., August 24. In your
issue of today is published an Associated
ress dispatch voicing the utterances of
Richard C. Kerens, member of the re
publican national committee for Mis
souri, in which that gentleman attacks
the American Protective Association
As that organization at the present
moment can count its adherents in the
seventh numerical column, it Is, per
haps, both desirable and profitable that
the honorable committeeman's utter
ances be reviewed and sifted in the
light of the truth as to its aims and
practices. It is not a difficult thing to
make charges; but the proof, that is
where the rub comt s in.
Mr. Kerens says: ' The A. P. A.'s
are a lot of bushwhackers and political
sandbaggers. They swing back and
forth between parties, and corrupt the
ward and city politics of both parties
by the use of the organization."
Passing over the hard names, I shall
endeavor to meet the charge of corrupt
ing the ward and city politics of both
parties. The adherents of the A. P. A.
believe that partisan politics is under
mining our constitution and the institu
Hons of liberty that are built upon it.
They recognize the fact that a foreign
and un-American influence, or control
power has entered the political field;
that this power seeks to dominate all
parties to such an extent that the
leaders in tbem have for the last de
cade and more acknowledged It. The J
knowledge that this balance of power
In American politics is a masterpiece of
foreign ecclesiastical origin does not
tend to allay the alarm which the true
lovers of popular government cannot
longer suppress.
The American Protective Association
aims to destroy this foreign control
power by uniting American citizens In
an effort to stay partisan politics from
further corrupting our free institutions
The principle has so long prevailed
among party leaders that the main
thing in view is power regardless of
how soured. This ambition, treason
able alike to the people's rights and to
a republican form of government has
not only corrupted the great parties
but It has placed on sale to the Roman
Catholic1 hierarchy the emoluments of
the administration. It is folly to at
tempt to deny that the great party
leaders have in both municipal, state,
and national politics been compelled to
recognize the Roman Catholic party in
politics as the balance of power. This
religious party, which has become as
conspicuous in every political contest
in this country as it has been and still
is in many of the European nations,
swings from party to party. The party
that has the brightest outlook of suc
cess and which through its leaders
makes its success by promise an object
of profit and advantage to the Romaa
Catholic church gets the vote.
It is becoming more and more evident
every day in both ward and city politics,
as well as state and national, that while
there are many parties, there are only
two sides, the American and the foreign
or Roman Catholic. The constitution
permits the recognition of no state
church. What, let me ask. is the ac
knowledgement by both parties of the
Roman Catholic church as a power in
politics if not the recognition of a state
church?
Regardless of the fact that the chair
men of the republican and the demo
cratic national committees were both
Roman Catholics, Harrison owes his
defeat to. the Roman Catholic balance
of power. When the influence of that
party failed to encompass his defeat In
convention at Minneapolis its efforts
were turned to defeat him at the polls,
Why was this? Simply because he had
taken an American stand in connection
with the Indian school question. He
had endorsed the policy of General
Morgan, his Indian commissioner.
Harrison was right in the stand he
took on that question, but for thus be
ginning to draw the line against the
churches' encroachments upon the con
stitutional limitations of congress he
was defeated.
As to the A. P. A.s' corrupting ward
and city politics, of which they are ac
cused, it is only necessary to investi
gate the political condition of New
York, Chicago, and other large cities
under the municipal government con
trolled by the Roman Catholic balance
of power. Have the A. P. A.'s cor
rupted the Tammany elected municl'
pality and the Tammany appointed
police force of New York, whose
revenue, Irom, bribery, runs into mil
lions annually? Has this organization
of American citizens corrupted the
ward politics of Chicago? What power
is it that suffers gambling and every
other iniquity calculated t corrupt
politics and destroy good government
to proceed in our large cities in oien
dellanee of law?
The American Protective Associa
tion U not free from the trickery of the
unprincipled politicians, but it alms to
keep them in their place, and that is
out of oflice, where they can neither
rob nor betray the pooplo.
Neither of the old parties need lie at
all troubled for fear of being Identified
with the A. P. A.'s. It will not be a
very long time until there will bo a
great American party. Tho best jhjo-
ple of all parties are wailing for It.

"The A. P. A.'s" he said "are a lot

is that the attempt of this element, for

thousands of honest votes. Tho move
ment is. In fact nothing: more than a
revival of the ancient 'Knownothlng'
doctrine which, although short-lived,
was not without its effect upon our pol
itics. The republican party has ever
been outspoken upon every public ques
tion and has always had the courage of
Its convictions. I do not think It will
dodge this issue now:
"The republican party Is less friendly

LOCKED OUT.
Chouteau Hall Closed by Its Owners
Against the A. I'. A.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 24, Council
No. 46 of the American Protective As
sociation which was the first lodge to
have its records forcibly taken from its
secretary, has been since its organiza
tion holding its meetings at Chouteau
hall which is owned by the sisters Mc
Hale, who live on Page avenue, near
Grand. It is claimed that until recently
these ladies were unaware of the use
that was being made of their hall. Sev
era! lodges meet there, and the A. P.
A. i eople somehow managed to get use
of the hall without attracting the at
tention of the o ners.
Last week the sisters McHale found
out that lodge No. 46 was meeting at
Chouteau hall. They made a visit to
the neighborhood, and had no difficulty
in 'verifying the information. There
were plenty of Roman Catholics to en
lighten them as to what went on in the
Chouteau hall every Tuesday night
the A. P. A. lodge's meet ing night.
Having satisfied themselves, the la
dies ordered the hall locked up, and
left the keys with a neighboring gro-
cervman. wno Deioags to one oi tne
other lodges.
Tuesday night the members of lodge
No. 46 commenced gathering at the
door of Chouteau hall. After a goodly
number had collected in front of the
hall, somebody thought it was time to
go in. The somebody tried the door.
It was locked. Everybody was amazed
for such a thing had never occurred
before. Then amazement gave place
to anger, it was then suggested that the
door be broken in, but cooler heads
prevented this and it was finally de
cided that the lodge would select a
place of meeting elsewhere.
ROMAN BURGLARS.
Another A. P. A. Secretary's Home Rob'
bed and Records Stolen.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 27. The home
of the secretary of A. P. A. council No,
12 was broken into aad the records of
the lodge stolen, the police were noti
fied, but so far no arrests have been
made. This Is the second case of this
character which has taken place in St.
Louis this month. Prior to this the
secretaries of two councils were slugged
on the streets at night and the records
forcibly taken from them. It is very
evident that the Roman Catholics are
resorting to every means to obtain a
list of the membership of the A. P. A
in St Louis, so that the same may be
published in The "Watchman the Roman
Catholic paper published by Father D,
S. Phelan, for the purpose of institut
ing a boycott against them.
The St Charles A. P. A. council is
also without its records as a result of
a visit made by unknown partios to its
lodge room in the Odd Fellow's hail,
several nights ago.
Entrance was first effected by means
of the keys which the marauder had
secured by some means from the janitor
of the building It Is said; what Is
claimed to be a complete list of the
membership Is being freely circulated.
The n"Cond entrance was m ado by
means of a crow-bar. I he uoor was
forced open and the record and para
phernalia of the Masonic lodge, which
meets in tho samo room, wero ran
sacked. The A. P. A. inemlxsrs Bay they will
make every effort to discover who the
marauders are, and bring them to jus
tice.
INVITED TO ROME.
Cardinal (IIiImhih Called by the Pope to
PIwuhh Affairs of the Roniuu Catholic
Church In America.
Baltimore, Md., August 28. The
poe has sent Cardinal Gibbons an
autograph letter cordially inviting him
to visit Rome. Poihj Loo Is particu
larly anxious to consult uon matters of
Interest to Catholics in America. The
letter of invitation is couched In very
affectionate terms and testifies to the
high esteem in which the cardinal Is
held at the Vatican. Within the past
few weeks tho pojw has had many In
portant American questions, both per
sonul and genoral to consider, among
them certain proposals for tho assist
ance of Roman Catholic universities In
this country, and more particularly of
the University at Washington. Bishop
Keune, Dr. O'Goruian and tho other
distinguished men connected with that
institution have been consulted by the
pope. But it is not supposed that he
would have Invited the cardinal to
Rome merely In order to discuss univer
sity issues with him. In connection
with the cardinal's projected voyage
there has been, as was expected, a re
vival of Interest in the rumor that
Mgr. Satolli's power as apostolic dele
gate was to be widened and "that he
was to be transferred from control of
the propaganda to that of the Vatican."
On the face of It, this rumor was inac
curate, and to those familiar with the
circumstances under which Mgr. Satolll
received his appointment, even absurd.
Satolli's powers were not conferred
upon him by the propaganda, but by
tho Vatican direct. It is to the pope
and Cardinal Rampolla direct that the
apostolic delegate reports, and It Is
from them he receives such instruc
tions as may bo thought indispensable
to the complete dignified fulfillment of
bis mission. Until very lately his
powers had been regarded as sufficient,
The pope has more than once, however,
offered to Increase them if necessary,
As a matter of delicacy and adminis
trative courtesy, the appointment of
Satolll to the aimstolic delegateship
was unquestionably notified to the pre'
feet of the propaganda, Cardinal Led
ocfaowski, and as a matter of form it is
equally unquestionable that the propa
ganda acquiesed more or less cheer
fully in the decision of the Vatican,
In the gossip which was current in
Rome when the delegation was founded,
some little soreness was caused at tne
propaganda by the appointment. It
was quite understood that by investing
Mgr. Satolll with authority after (If
not before) the department which rules
the so-oalled "missionary country" had
been consulted, a great, though quiet
change had been accomplished in the
relations of the church in the United
States with Rome. Having, as he
evidently had, the power of settling,
ex-cathedra, various points formerly
reserved for decision of the propaganda,
Mgr. Satolll had prepared the way for
the transferral of the whole church in
the United States from that depart
ment to that of the Vatican, or, to be
precise again, of the papal secretary of
state.
As Cardinal Rampolla Invariably acts
under the supreme and Immediate di
rection of the pope himself, a change of
this sort would place the Roman Catho
lic clergy in this country In a position
somewhat though not very closely
analogous to that enjoyed by the clergy
In the Roman Catholic states of Europe
or South America. It might, wiih jus
tice, be interpreted as a compliment to
the vitality of Roman Catholicism In
the United States, at-.d that It ira
plied that, in the view of Rome, the
young church in the great west had
now outgrown the need of tutelage.
The change, moreover, might be re'
garded as a step towards the simplifica
tion of the system under which the Ro
man Catholic clergy and the church at
large in the United States have long
been governed. As, since the advent
of Mgr. Satolli, the propaganda has
largely been relieved of its responsi
bllity as far as American Roman Cath
olicism is concerned, a proclamation of
some nature, or a message from the
pope to the American hierarchy, may
ere long be held necessary. The pres
ent state of things is doubtless transl
tory, and It Is certainly anomalous.
Under existing conditions the Catho
lic hierarchy In the United States are
normally responsible to the propa
ganda, while affectively they are re
quired to defer to the rulings of Apos
tolic Delegate Mgr. Satolli, whose high
prerogatives have been bestowed on
him by tho Vatican. In the winter of
13D2 it was openly stated in well-in
formed Roman circles that there had
been differences between Cardinal
llamiKilla and Cardinal Ledochowski
of a serious nature, touching the gen
oral tendency and drift of the papal
policy. The pope himself, It was also
said, had Intervened to heal the dls
eonsions. Since then the propaganda
and the secretary of state are under
stood to have looked rather coldly on
each other. Cardinal Rampolla it
probably much nearer to tho pope a
present than Cardinal Ledochowski la
questions affecting American Romaa
Catholicism. Ho reflects, and inter
prets the pope's will, and latterly the
(Kintlff has regarded the church in tha
United States as his own esoclal
charge and Interest
The prefect of the propaganda, Car
dinal Ledochowski, was famous long
before his appointment t bis present
office as the most resolute, active and
heroic adversary of the "Laws of May."
For bis devotion to his cause he suf
fered Imprisonment, was removed from
his archbishopric in Posen, and alter
his release from jail was exiled. For
some years he was the trusted friend
and guest of the pope at the Vatican.
Ills sojourn in that palace was distaste
ful to the GcrmannJ&urt. It was, per
haps, to the prudmce which inclines
the pope to keep out of unnecessary
quarrels that ho owed .his transfer to.
tho propaganda. Since that event
took place it is said that he has largely
modified his attitude toward tho Ger
man empire.
TKVIMJ TO RELEASE A NUN.
I'ureuts ofallufliilo (iirl Claim She la
1 tent rained Against Her Will.
Buffalo, August 25. Sister Mary
Benedict left the Convent of the Good
Shepherd Friday, for the first time in
six years. The mother suporior of the
ordor brought her into the superior
court upon a writ of habeas corpus made
on the affidavit of Mrs. Louise Hup
phen, who alleges that her daughter,
who Is known as Sister Mary Benedict,
Is restrained thore against her will
The girl entered the order in 1888. It
Is one of the close convents of the Ro
man Catholio church and the inmates
are not permitted to see their relatives
or to have any communication with the
outside world. Sister Mary showed no
desire in court Friday to rejoin her
parents. No testimony was taken, as
the nun was not represented by coun
sel, and the case was put ovor until
September 4. In the meantime the
girl will remain in the convent.
Tho application for her release is
made on the ground that her parents
are poor and very old and are entitled
to the assistance of their child and the
comfort of her society. It is charged
that the nuns have exercised a moral
restraint over her by representing to
her that she will be forever damned if
she violates the vows taken when she
entered tho society. He mother avers
that she has not been able to communi
cate with her daughter because of the
restrictions of the order, but feels posi
tive that she is not satisfied with her
condition and wants to be liberated by
the court. She says that since the
action was begun the nuns have in
fluenced the girl so that she will now
represent that she desires to remain
with them. Great interest is taken ia
the case. The counsel for the petitioner
Is ex-Assmblyman Leroy Andrus.
A Grand Success.
The open meeting held by council
No. 265 in Star lodge hall Wednesday
last was a remarkable success. At
tracted by the splendid programme for
which eminent speakers and the
choicest musical and elocutional talent
had been secured, a large, fine looking
crowd had assembled in the pretty hall
and had taken up every available spot
long before commencement. The guests
were royally entertained, and held in
the best of spirits up to the midnight
hour. A fine lunch with icecream and
cake was served in the dinning room,
where everybody was presented with &
souvenir a napkin in the shape and''
color of the American flag. Every
thing was free of charge, liberal mem
bers having footed the bills. Many
new candidates were secured from the
audience during the evening.
Trouble Ahead fur Rome.
Columuus, Ohio, Aug. 22, Inter
views with several of the leading saloon
keepers of this city who are members
of the Roman Catholic societies indi
cate a disposition to ignore the recent
anti-liquor pronunclamento of Bishop
Watterson. The bishop declared against
the violation of Sunday laws, and pro
hibited the election of any saloon
keepers to office in Roman Catholio
societies. Many of the Roman Catholio
saloon-keepers of Columbus were em
phatic in their denunciation of the
bishops action, while others, though
less outspoken, were quite as earnest in
their criticism of what they call the
bishop's interference in private busi
ness. Almost all express an intention
to act as they please regardless of the
bishop or their church. The situation
indicates the possibility of a serious
schism in the church.
Refuses to Be Interviewed.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 25. Mgr.
Satolli, the papal ablegate, has decided
to maintain silence as to the latest
statement regarding him that the pope
will soon make the ablegate's authority
absolute and sovereign and unanswer
able only to the pope. Mgr. Satolli
has given instructions to those at his
residence not to admit reporters or
permit any cards of newspaper men to
bo taken to him or to Dr. Papi, his
private secretary.
