You can find lots of them who are

because of the damnable boycott of the

It la not alway a plea-ure to per

either a duty or a re:p;clbillty bo

With this belief firmly entrenched in
our mind we shall perform a duty, und
such u one a every American citizen
owe to hi fellow citizens that of
warr ing them of impending danger.
Without reirting to circumlocution
and without attemptinir to justify, in

sumo, we shall say thero la danger
from Itomanism danger not only to
our tree institutions, noi oniy xo our

corrupting Influence of its confessional,
its celibate priesthood and it teach

In order to carrv conviction that the
Lhariro are truo, we believe we need
to introduce but little evidence, yet
what little is introduced Bball bo con
ciutjive, and to the point.
With that understanding, we shall
proceed to a discussion of the subject

all go to demonstrate the truthfulness
of this charge. We cite this Instance
for two reasons. One Is, because it Is

In one instance, why is it not in the
other? Since when has the Constitu

We do not hesitate to say that if

tions of loyalty to the head of their

unjust and unlawful" a 'tion of the
Italian Government in relieving the
pont ff of hi earthly possessions pos

saries have wheedled, coerced and

they were not sincere when they swore
to uphold and obey the laws of this
country A divided allegiance is 1m-
pos;-lble under the f jrm of oath pre
scribed for the natural iza'.ion of citi
zens, unless we accept the Roman doc
trine that the oath of a Romanist is in
no manner binding unless sanctioned
by tho church the pope.
But wo will not go deeper into the
question of allegiance, being satisfied
to leave it with you to settle after as
suring you that the Pope of Rome de
clared in an encyclical dated January
10, 13'jO, that where the laws of the
state and the laws of the church con
diet the laws of tha church were to be
unhesitatingly obeyed. Nico doctrine,
that, for a professed American citizen
to subscribe to! But "the end justifies
the inians." .
The other two charges against
Romanism ar 3 bo closely related that
It will be Impossible to consider them
separately, and for that reason we shall
so comoine our testimony as to prove
both charges at once.
It would not bo necessary to go out
side of this city to find a priest who
bad fallen, and that implies that some
woman has fallen, through the debas-
ng influence of auricular confession
If there was not a celibate priesthood
there would bo no need of auricular
confession. The confessional was
cunningly devised institution for the
benefit of the clergy. It placed them
In possesion of all family secrets, per
mitting the confessor to propound the
most vilo and debasing questions to
young girls and married women in tho
confessional, and caused them to sub
mlttosuch questions under the mis
taken idea that it would bo a mortal
sin to refuse anything to tin "holy
father," and after being questioned,
they were taught they would be eter
nally damned If they ever commun
cate to anyone father, brother, mother
or sister not excepted aught that
transuircd In that noisome box. Asa
result, the moral sensibilities of the
laity boeamo benumbed, until fathers
and mothers impressed upon their
daughters that a priest could do no
rong. As a result of such teaching
many a heart has bled.
A few instances of the corrupting in
fluences of the confessional will tend to
prove our charges to be true. The
first one we shall clto will be that of
the ruination the seduction of Mary
Sweeney, of Geneseo, N. Y., by Priest
Flaherty. She was under 16 years of
age and he had told her a "priest can
do no wrong." The priest has just
been sentenced to seven years in the
penitantiary. The next will be that of
Stacie Cummings, an orphan girl, rich
pretty and undor 17 years of age, of
Aurora, 111., who was debauched by
her guardian and confessor, Priest
Levdon. last year. The last one we
shall refer to is Maud Stoldel, of St. Joe,
Mo., under 16, ruined by her father
confessor, and married to him two
weeks ago to save him from the peni
tentiary.
You are the jury. In your hands we
leave the case, confident that from the
showing we have made you will sus
tain our contention that there is "Dan
ger in Romanism."
Did Sot Deal in Options.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 30, '9.-.
To whom it may concern: I observe
from last evening's Bee that Mr. A. G
Edwards has been charged with deal
ing in grain options through Cockrell
Bros., of this city.
1 desire to say that I had charge of
the business of Cockrell Bros, in this
citv durins the years 1390, 1891 and
1892, and the transaction stated in the
Bte is familiar to me. 1 know that Mr.
Edwards never invested a dollar for
any such Investment for himself, and
the iudErment that Cockrell Bros, did
obtain against him was for a guarantee
for another.

county know full well that during his
ear on the bench among them he was
no respecter of persons; that his court
a run free from bias or prejudice;
that the poor man was placed on an
bsolute equality as a litigant with the
rich, and that no combination of legal
chicanery could cause or compel the
court presided over by Judge Scott to
administer one kind of law O the rich
nd another kind to the poor. And
herein lies the original cause of the
assaults that havo been and are being
made against him as a Judge. Law
yer have come largely of late years to
think that the courts must be used to
support technicalities in this or that
pecial interest. In this they have
uniformly run against a snag before
Judge Scott, because his court Is run
upon principles of law and equity rather
than technicalities. Th-j people want
more Judges like Scott upon the bench
rather than fewer; and it is pretty gen
erally admitted his vote at the polls
will be swelled Immensely by reason of
the persecutions heaped upon him in

friends In this county outside his party,
and it is conceded that he will get

The Editor Mas Wrong.
Elgin, 111., Oct. 26. At the closing
meeting 01 tne lNormern Illinois
Teachers' Association, to-day, P. A,
Vanderlip of Chicago presented a paper
on the general topic, "The Relation of
School Work to Life Work," from an
editor's point of view, ne quoted a
statement by the chief officers of the
Illinois Trust and Savings Company
and the First National Bank of Chicago
that the most responsible positions in
their concerns were given to men of
foreign birth, because of their greater
accuracy ana reiinointy. tie biso
called attention ta the mass of usoless
matter in text-books, suggesting that a
radical change was needed In order to
eive children practical Instruction.
Accuracy is not sufficiently impressed
on tho minds of the pupils by their
teachers. The school work and the
life work should ba brought Into closer
elation more through ithe efforts of
the tetchers than by more work on the
already overworked student.
Superintendent O. T. Bright of Cook
county discusselMr. Vanderlip's view
He said:
"The editor claims that in the First
Natiou -il Bank and in the Illinois Trust
and Savings Hank of Chicago, these
being only samplesof other institutions
of a similar nature, foreigners are em
ployed most largely to the exclusion of
Americans, because their training bet
tor fitted them for the responiible posi
tlons. I have wondered, if such were
the case, why none of them came to the
top, so I went to those institutions to
verify the statement made. In the
Illinois Trust and Savings - iBank 1
found seventy-three employes and of
ficers. Of the ?e sixty-three were edu
catcd in the United Spates and of the
ten others the majority were iCana
dians or English. At the 'First Na
tional Bank I found 240 employes.
Sixteen were English or Canadians, two
Norwegians, two Danes, one each
Swedish, French, German, Scotch and
Dutch. Two hundred and fifteen were
Americans and were educated in the
God-forsaken' American schools
Who is it runs the business of this
country? Who? The newspapers
Who gathers the news? If it were the
Englishman, the German or the Italian
we might expect to get it the next day
Our schools are not perfect; they are
capable of improvememt and will im
prove, but we want them fairly rated
Myer's History.
This history, which is written by
man who is not biased by any influence,
but who is simply telling the truth, has
caused a Roman Catholic priest in San
Francisco by the name of McGinty to
wish, for the sake of his church, that
the history was placed in the Index
Expurgatorius of the public schools.
Everything that this priest sees, a9 Is
the case with all priests, that does not
favor the temporal power of the pope
etc., is all A. P. A., and therefore being
A. P. A., is of the devil. Andnhey
would not admit it, but I amsure they
are mad at the Bible everyttime they
look inside of it, because itns such
strong A. P. A. book.
The decision that was rendered a few
days ago that the Lord's Prayer jwas
sectarian, because a Roman Catholic
did not want it taught to his child in
the public school, is a sample of what
has been done for the Roman Catholics
too long. If this prayer is taught in a
Roman Catholic church, it is, -not sec
tarian; but if the same prayer is taught
in the public school, it la sectarian
And if the school has no prayer, thai
the R iman Catholic say, "the god let
schools." IIjw long will men of otn
mon tease be fooled with? L?t the
various tchojl board put a Bible la
every public school, so that a chapter
may be read each morning, that the
children may have some knowleJge of
hist ry, morality and Christianity; and
when the Raman Ctholic "spailel
bablej" begin to whine abjjt it beinj
a sectarian book, tell then, lfthey are
Christians, that this is not a seotarlaa
book; and if they are heathen Bud
dhists, the people of America should
send missionaries among them immedi
ately. Says Mclilnt j to me:
Di ll put In the tire
That old lialhen book.
Thai's written by Myer;
And. if thit's not so,
You rail me a liar.
But if (II cannot
OI know Oi can hire
The ould Ireland byes
From the box and uiire
To do Just the dailo
That Oi may require."
Says (. tben, to lilm:
"Why do you not wire
The pope, 'Mind nie Nthlcks
K'r a funeral pyre.
And stop this h:il In' n
That rouses me ire.' "
ALEPH.
. Not a Itiow at (aibbons.
New Y'OKK, Oct. 23 It has been
suggested that the papal encyclical
published a few days ago warning Cath
olics that they must not promiscuously
associate in public meeting with Prot
estants was a blow at Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Keane,
of the Catholic University. All these
were prominent in the Congress of Re
ligions held in Chicago during the
Columbian Exposition.
The Rev. Father Thomas Ducey,
rector of St. Leo's church, Baid to
night: "A short time ago Lto XIII.
sent out an encyclical to the whole
world asking prayers for Christian
unity. Numbers of Protestant gentle
men have called on me since the ap
pearance of this last encyclical and
asked me its meaning. I have received
no official communication about the al
leged late encyclical. I do not believe
t is aimed at Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ireland, or the rector of the
Catholic University. Some enemy has
thrown this hint out to the public.
"I have received a letter resently
from my Roman correspondent In
which he says:
'In a short time matter will be
given to the American press asserting
that a hard blow Is about to b3 admin
istered to certain eminent ecclesiastics.
Perhaps it might sorten the blame to
have it known and repeated that
others besides the cardinal and Arch
bishop Ireland were interested in the
convention of religion in Chicago.'
"This letter," said Mgr. Dacey,
"comes from one closely in touch with
the highest authorities in Rome."

Poor Judgment.
Mr. Campbell, Democratic candidate
for governor of Ohio, has displayed
poor judgment by cursing the A. P. A.
After election he will have iplenty of
time to considor how ifoolish he has
been. Let all the politicians of all
parties be huddled together for a curs
ing bee with the order for atargct, and
the order would smile serenely and
keep on in the even tenor Jof Its way.
The man who curses the A. P. A.
seals his own political doom and does
no injury to the order. Independent
Leader.
