The inducements which yesterday Of
fered for an outing interfered somewhat
with the attendance at the Good Citizen
ship meeting in Metropolitan Hall in the
afternoon. President Outflow congTatu-
lated those present upon the fesity to
patriotic principles which their presence
evinced, and declared that no matter how
small the attendance might be or what
might be said on the outside the meetings
would continue until time without end.
Rev. W. I. Fleenor of Seattle was the
speaker of the afternoon. His topic was
SIS the American Protective Association
q Legitimate Institution ~
He said that in Seattle ali the people
who did not already belong to the A. p. a.
were on the way TO it. and the order al
eady controlled the city government.
The address was confined 10 the propo-
sitions: SIS the American Protective Asso-

The speaker declared that the American
Protective Association was necessity TO
the American people, and a necessity
needed no apology. ..Americanism VIII

imperialism its character and despotism
its object Why organize against this
power? Because it Is the only eeclesias-
ticism sworn against this nation. Roman

Cardinal Manning, speaking for the
Pope, says, i acknowledge no civil power.

sands and thousands question it. Has ii
a right to the respect Of the American
people? Our constitution guarantees &c
every American people the right to life,
liberty and free speech Does not free
speech imply constitutional liberty?
believe in liberty clrcumscribed by the
honor OF our flag and the honor OF our
country. There is corrupt stream of for
eign population pouring in here that is
non-assimiIatiye. We have rightTo reg
ulate this, and the L. P. A is the only
God-giyen power among societies TO regu-
late this
s.If Romanism cannot be made to sub
serve the ends of this country then Roman
ism must 20. The only trouble with this
country is she has been dragged into the
mud puddle Last year 50 per cent OF the
crime in Massachusetts was com mItsed
by these non-Amer1cans though they are
only per cent of the population of the
Stale. In the face OF this / ask hasn't the
A. p. A. right to rule to-day?
New York City is ruled by Rome to-day.
Tammany Hail is Jesuit headquarters.
Brooklyn is ruled By priests Rome rules
twenty of the large cities OF this country
to-day. Ever bill presented TO the loEer
house goes under the eyes OF Bishops and
Cardinals. They talk of tariff. If II had
my way I'd pile up tariff upon this foreign
scum IS heavy as the law of gravity.
tsThe American Protective Association
is the only organization that is purely for
America and American principles. This
order stands for intelligence. Light is the
life of Government. Rome is the ally OF
Ignorance and of superstition. She breads
nothing so much as she does the light.
Why screen ali the American saloons
WHY clothe all her rituals in mystery
Rome has ruled Mexico for three hundred
years, and there they sell potatoes for
cent apiece and You have to buy them one
at time. because the seller can't count.
And Rome wants 20 take our children to
educate.
Bishop Purcell says that no man has q
right TO choose his own religion, and it Is
only 8 question of time when Rome will
obtain possession of this country and
every man will have 70 worship according
TO the dictates OF the papal see.
Tine American Protective Association
stands for liberty Of conscience. These
PapaIites stand together; they vote To-
gether; they get drunk together, and the Y
curse this country together.
ssOld Pope Plus is clamoring for crown.
He SAYS, i want to rule. want the domi-
nation Of the nations of the earth II
had nv way I'd place him on the crater OF
old VesuTius and les the bowels Of the
earth take him SKY ward in chariot of fire.
Then, If God would do anything for him,
the American people would be glad"
