Ameryka w Toledo. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1891-1892, 1891-12-16
ANARCHISTIC PRIEST.

made its appearance here last Satur-
day. The paper is published by Rev.
Wieozorek rector Of St. Hedwig's
Parish. 1t is managed by M. Brzeczka
a carpenter, and J. Kina sewing
machine solicitor. Neither of them
have any school education to speak
of. Rev. Wieczorek became priest
from common European tramp,
which is worse than any kind of an A.
merican tramp. 1t was done by ssvir
tue' Of lies and intrigues. He has
not enough knowledge of the Polish
language to spell the Polish words
grammar and education correctly.
Such a set of ignorant people under
took to conduct a newspaper for ed.
ucational reasons!
My dear readers, don't laugh, for
I am talking seriously.
The Polish people will know how
to receive that new paper. 1t is not
necessary for me to say anything
about it. But the Publisher and Man
ayers, try to deceive the American
Public, with 'svirtuous lies" there
fore 1 deem it necessary to explain to
the intelligent Public, tricks and
ssvirtues'' of the ssreverend liar"
Before his paper made its appear
ance, he visited some of the Busi-
ness men who advertised in the
"Ameryka", and told them such lies,
as can only be invented by a genuine
tramp. He stated that / am attacking
the Catholic Church, which is lie.
i attack the corruptions, not of the
Church, but outside of 1T. I merely
follow the doctrine of Christ as He
said: ''Truth must be told, no matter
who tells it,. One of the sssuckers"
(fanatical servant to the priest, not
the Church, advised by that tramp
Wieczorek went to several Business
men and tried to convince them
that if they advertised in the
"Ameryka,' the Polish people would
boycott them. OF course no credit
was given to such ssterror", as one
sucker does not represent $4,000
people who trade with these firms,
because they advertise in the GA
meryka". ."
This shows their method of doing
business. 1t was always the method
of rascals and unprincipled people to
kill those, that are in their way. It
is always the method of reaction a.
.gainst civilization. They say tstheir
object mskes the methods holy". Bat
the progressive world asks for truth,
Justice and honesty. ,..
Mr.. Wieczorek thinks that the
purpose of the press should be to de.
ceive people, to lie, to keep them in
fanatism and ignorance. differ, and
say that the print is for purpose to
record the truth and educate the
people. The lie can be easier detec-
ted in print than intalk, so the prin-
ted word should be only truth.
l am young man and my repu
tation can be established with truth
only.
| think that the Polish population
in Toledo is large enough to support
two Polish papers. But the publish
ers of the new "Kurjer" say, that
their object is to ruin the ssAmeryka"
or kill Paryski. l do mott think that
this method is the proper way to sue
cess in civilized country.
The trouble is originally between
the two Polish priests, honest intelli-
gent people and fanatical ignorants,
who cannot read, and have to be
satisfied with what they hear. The
troubles have been growing here for
the last three years, consequently I
had to say something about it in the
paper. After thorough investigation
/ found that Mr.. Wieczorek, who is
athe rector of St. Hedwig's Parish, is
the cause Of all the trouble. I had to
defend the truth, for which stand all
the intelligent Polanders. The majo.
rity of members of St. Hedwig's Pa
rish are against Mr.. Wieczorek. His
supporters are those who cannot read,
and are satisfied with what he tells
them in Church. -
People remember we'll who were
the responsible parties for the riot in
st. Hedwig's Parish in 1886. The
same suckers play the role now.
But the people are more enlightened
now and I hope the scandals will not
be repeated.
Space does not permit me to say
more in to-days paper. However I
will translate and publish Mr.. VIE
czorek's letters to prove that he is
trying o.have a riot.
