friendship no less than that of his
protestant friends, and would defend
their rights, religious or civil, as
quickly.
Following are the A. P. A. principles
as adopted at Des Moines, Iowa, and
readopted at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in
may, 1895: First, loyalty to true
Americanism which knows neither
birthplace, race, creed nor party is the
first requisite for membership in the
A P A Second, the A. P. A. is not a
political party, and does not control
the political affiliations of it's members,
but it teaches them to be intensely ac-
tive in the discharge of their political
duties, in or out of party lines, because
it believes that all problems confront
ing our people will be best solved by
conscientious discharge of the duties
of citizenship by every individual.
Third, while tolerant of all creeds, it
holds the subsection to and support of
and controlled by American citizens,
and which claims equal, if not greater
sovereignty than the Government of
the United States of America, is ire
| fore, opposed to the holding of offices
! in the national or municipal govern
ment by any subject or supporter of
such ecclesiastical power. Fourth, we

States of America, and no portion more
than its guarantee of religious liberty
to be guaranteed to the individual and
not to mean that under its protection
any un-American ecclesiastical power
can claim absolute control over the ed
ucation of children growing up under
the Stars and Stripes. Fifth, we con-
slider the non-sectarian free public
school the bulwark of American in
situations, the best place for the educa-
ton of American children, to keep
them such, we protest against the en-
pIOyment of subjects of any un-Ameri-
can ecclesiastical power as officers or
teachers of the public schools.
Sixth, we condemn the support out
of the treasury by direct appropriation
or by contract of any sectarian school,
reformatory or other institution not
owned and controlled by public au
thorfty. Seventh, believing the exemp-
ton from taxation is equal to a grant
of public funds, we demand that no
real or personal property be exempt
from taxation, the title of which is not
vested in the national or State govern
ment or in any of their subdivisions.
Eigth. We protest against the en-
Iistment in the United States army,
navy, or militia of any state, of any
person not an actual citizen of the
United States.

TELLS HIS STORY
"'Loya1 American" Gives
His Ideas on A. P. A ism.
Explains Matters Figuring Some
jects and Aspirations.

MIR. EDITOR:-As it has been con-
sidered advisable by several prominent
men of this city to place before the
public the real objects and purposes
of the A. P. A. 1 would respectfully re-
quest space in your valuable paper to do
as has been suggested.
The principal claim made by the
priests against the A. P. A. is that it
is organized for religious persecu-
ton" The principal objection claimed
by the Catholic priests against the A.
P A is that cit is for religious persecu-
ton"
This statement is entirely erroneous,
and the A. P. A. would work for the
religious liberty of the Catholics at
any time were any one to attempt to
interfere with them. The order is
composed Of men of all protestant de-
nominations and of men of no relig-
ion. The A. P. A. and its kindred or
CARNATIONS in the United States num-
bers about 5000, 900 men, and there are
thousands of them who never enter
any church; the reason they join in
this popular movement will be given
in my letter on 'Why the A. P. A. was
organized" In an A. P. A. paper re-
ceived by the writer by the last mail
the following article appears. 1t
shows the true feeling of the A. P. A.
towards the Catholics:
1.-TWO things to be distinguished:
Ever distinguish between the Roman
Catholic people on the one hand and
on the other their ecclesiastical rul-
ers and authorities who claim the right
to command them in things temporal
and spiritual as well. Many Of the
former are our good neighbors and
friends. We should regard them as
brother men and brother citizens that
should neither have less or more of
civil rights and privileges than our
selves, thus only can fellow citizens
live in peace and mutual good will.
The writer has many good Catholic
friends. both in Honolulu and in the
United States, with whom he trades
and associates, and he values their
