CASE TO FATHER YORKE
he Advises the Chancellor to
Disband the Young Mems
Institute.
The Catholic c ergvman R primanded
for Asking Captain Taylor
Tor Pledge.

Rev. DR.. Case devoted himself to dis
cussion of Rev. Father Yorke at the How
ard-street Methodist Church last night, in
cidentslly dwelling on what he termed
't'the pernicious influence of the Roman
Catholic church on American politics"
He began by saying that the American
Protective Association had done much to
secure liberty in American politics. "a
few years ago" he said, land only little
while before the American Protective As
socistion, 1 saw ticket containing thirty
six names and thirty-two OF them were
Roman Catholics. In the face of this
Chancellor Yorke has the effrontery to tell
US that the Pope and his priests take no
hand IN American politics.
"Why, the Roman Catholic church is
nothing but 8 political machine. 1t never
saves souls. Pope Plus, the man that had
been made an earthly god, had masses
said for the release of his soul out of pur-
gatory. Archbishop Hughes. VITO has
been dead for quite number of wears,
has masses said for bringing his soul out
of that place that is SO degrees hotter than
hell.
"Yes, the hat Is being passed around
annually for the collection OF money for
the release of those mems souls. Their
church is begging institution.
AIN Washington the Sisters-butI l must
not speak of those ladies' disrespectfuIly-
go around the ffices collecting from the
clerks on the 1st of every month.
Father YoIke says he regrets the pres
enee OF the A. P. As. ! dare say he does,
and so does the Pope, because the associa-
tion has put an estoppel on the work of
the Roman church and made the Catho-
lies loyal
You don't see the green rag hoisted
above the Stars and Stripes now, but you
would see it only for the presence OF the
A. P. AS.
"The Chancellor wants peace, does her
Well, 1 will tell him how he can procure
peace.
''Let him disband the Y. NJ. L, that So
ciety that has its red hand in politics do
ine the bidding of the church.
THE Chancellor says il is enough to
damn the A. P. Al because Traynor, its
president, kept whisky shop in Canada.
Ii this be so what is TO become of the
Catholicsf Didn't Buckley keep a saloon
and isn't he Catholic?
"Who is this man who represents the
old man on the Tiber that dare ask Cap
tain c. L. Taylor, the nominee for Mayor,
for pledgef Who is he that SINKS the
County Clerk into perdition because ne
conducts his office as il suits himself
without king the man from Rome whom
he should put into his Office? Who is
this man that damns George Elder be-
cause he does rot belong 10 his church !?
Elder wishes to be let alone, but Yorke
won't let him alone.
This Chancellor wants the Roman lion
and the Protestant lamb TO lie down in
peace together. But ii ever that recon-
Citation takes place the lamb will be in
side of the lion. Iorke would make US
oelIeye that the only men who fought and
died for this country were Catholics. We
admit that the Catholics fought and we
know that they would fight tomorrow il
this country was in trouble. But this is easly
accounted for. Ii is because they believe
in their bind superstition that they will
own the country some day, aud as 8 con-
sequence they think they would be fight
ing for their own. But thanks TO the A.
P. AS they have set the progress of Rome
back hundred years, and this is the
reason that the priests don't like the
American Protective Association
In conclusion the speaker advised all
who are not Roman Catholics TO join some
Protestant church. saying: 1T is the
Protestant churches that the Catholic
priests dread. All the infidels and atheists
on earth cannot successfully war against
the church. II is the organized Protestant
churches that have driven the tyrannical
church TO the wall, an il is the organized
Protestant churches that will keep il from
obtaining control of this blessed land of
oursu
