AN EPISCOPAL PRIEST
ON THE |NQU|s|TION

Editor Advertiser: 1t seems in
credible that in this day any one could
defend the inquisition as a mild and
paternal institution. 1t has appeared
to me that some one should set forth
the facts in the case. To give these
facts to the public will not take much
of your space.
Through the persistent activity Of the
Popes the views of the ancient Church
on the treatment of the heterodox was
completely changed. After the year
1883 the policy of the Popes was TO
punish heresy by fire. In the litera-
ture of the times there is no discus
sion of the matter, and the initiation
and the carrying out of the principle
came from the Popes The Waldenses
and the Poor Men of Lyons were dealt
with in this way although the latter.
at first, only wished as laymen to
preach righteousness.
From 1900 to 1900 the long series or
ordinances issued by the Popes on the
subject of the inquisition increased IN
severity. Pope Innocent III. declared
that the mere refusal to take an oath
was a heresy worthy of death, and the
principle was further set forth that
the mere thought of heresy without
any outward sign was worthy of death
The absolute dictation of the Pones
and the fear in which their power was
held, kept men silent. Yet in the
eleventh and twelfth centuries men
like Bishop Waso of Liege, Bisbop
Hildebert of lie Mans. Rupert of Deutz.
and st. Bernard pointed out that Christ
had expressly forbidden such methods
as the Popes insisted on carrying into
execution. They stated that persecu-
ton would make hypocrites of peonIa
and make them hate the Church ana
clergy. But not one Pope cbaneea
the policy.
The Popes were overwhelmed bv
complaints, as Pope Clement bimse,r
says. and that because for one tbine
the inquisitors often used their Office
for making money. That there must
have been great temptation to do this
is evident when we consider that uhar
the inquisition was in full operation
the property of the victim was confs-
Gated, one half passing into the pa
PAL TREASURY, the other half into
the hands of the inquisitors. And If
did not end there, the innocent family
was visited and the sons were made
incapable of civil Office and dignity.

Moreover, clemency, which plays so
great part in the judgments of the
inauisition, was the work of the
Church, VINO did nothing as to the pun,
ishments except to suppress or miti-
gate them, or to recommend the guilty
to the indulgence of the judges.
Hefele, Life of Himenes, CHI. 16-1S.)
Hence the reputation for mercy which
the ecclesiastical tribunals enjoyed.
This reputation was so great that the
Knights Templars expressly begged to
be Judged by the tribunals of the
Ecclesiastical Inquisition. They knew
well. historians said, that If they Sc
cured such judges they could not be
condemned to the penalty of death.
But Philip the Fair, who had deter
mined upon their destruction, and who
understood the inevitable consequence
of a recourse to that tribunal shut
himself up with his Counsel of State
and summarily condemned them to
death And in our day, it was at
Rome that the Jews received the best
treatment; indeed, proverbial phrase
calls the city of the Popes the para
disc of the Jews. In Germany, where
formerly there were many ecclesias-
teal sovereignties, there was another
proverb which said: 1T is good to
live under the Crozier." Never" says
Joseph de Maistre, under these pa
cific governments was there a question
of persecution or of capital punishment.
against the spiritual enemies of the
reigning power" The action of the
Popes in regard to the inquisition is
quite in keeping with the character
that has always been noticeable in the
occupants of the papal throne. The
Popes, as individuals, have had, of
their personal qualities. Some
have been sterner, others milder, in
their temperament and in their rule
But the Holy See has all along stood
put among the thrones of Christendom
for it's love of mercy and
tenderness toward the erring and suf-
fering In short, whilst We are far
from excusing the excuses of this tri-
ounal we maintain at the same time
that crime was never sanctioned by
the Church, that bloodshed and perse-
cution form no part of her creed, and
hat all abuse of power and the cruel
ties incidental to it are to be traced
to the despotism of the State, and not
to the action of the Church. This is
the final verdict of all honest and i'm
partial historians of the Spanish In
Iuisition. (See Balufh, Charity of the
Church Toward the Jews" XXII)

The ludosshlp

Having made careful canvass of the vote on the judgeship, free from any connection with the county seat ques- ton and from a close interview with the voters, I am greatly pleased to find that my free and independent position. talk en at the start and adhered to ever since is meeting with approval among the voters. Tn meeting the people was much impressed with their thoughtful ness, their uniform stand for law and order the suppression of the illicit sale of liquor and desire to avoid ring rule in the new county; and, with keen sense of justice, barring perhaps few politicians, the people have a substanti- al feeling for those who have been resi- dents of, and who have stood by, the valley through times of depression as we'll as times of promise.
 There are two votes that find against me, the liquor vote and the corporation vote. Just where to place these, at this time, is a matter of conjecture. The significance of the attitude of this vote is peculiar, as all associations or inter- ests, like the individual, have their rights under the law, but should have no more. My candidacy is simply that of an independent candidate before the individual voter. standing solely for the legal rights of all, free from any combi- nation of interests corporate or other wise. With forty-four years of lite and it's experience back of me. With twen- ty years of that time engaged in the practice of my profession, over three years, last past, resident, with my family, in Imperial Valley, feel sure you will give my candidacy thoughtful consideration.
 With this brief statement, realizing your sincerity of purpose and knowing that you believe all men should stand equal before the law, l trust that in spite of the county seat question the choice of judge will receive earnest con- sideration at your hands.
 want to take this opportunity of thanking you, one and all, for the very kind and cheerful greeting accorded me by all whom had the pleasure of meet ing. If by your votes am elected the first judge of Imperial county, it shall be my endeavor, with Gods help to serve you faithfully and we'll
 Respectfully yours,

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 In making up your mind as to who will be the best men to fill the offices of our proposed new county, It were we'll to look at few important points.
 l am candidate for the office of county assessor and find that the time Is so limited that l will not be able 10 see each voter before election as would like to do. and explain why 1t would be particularly beneficial to you to cast your vote for me
 In the first place, am an indepen- dent candidate and am independent In every way. owe no one favors which places me under obligation. If elected the office will be conducted on lines of absolute justice. with special favors to no one. Most of the voters know me personally, as 1 have lived among you for five years. and every one knows my special qualifications for the office.
 Probably no man in the valley knows the property values as do, and being independent. will be in a position to do justice to all.
 promise you, that If elected, l will give the office the benefl of my knowledge and experience and will faithfully perform my duty at all times.
 You will find my name In the inde- pendent column on the ticket.
 Thanking you in advance for any favor you may show me at the polls or August 9th. beg to remain.
 Yours very truly. adv FRED FULLER

Affidavit

Imperial. Cal. July 30. 1907. State of California. County of San Diego, '
 l. V. K Brooks, hereby certify that Judge F, c. Farr, on or about the 10th day of July had conference with me in which he requested me to visit w. F. Holt and endeavor to get said w. F. Holt to agree to use his influence to support said F. c. Farr for the of- flee of Superior Judge. said F. c. Farr stating that if w. F Holt would do so that he would agree to take the stump for Fl Centro in the county seat cam paign. He also stated that he knew all the plans and crooked schemes of the Imperial crowd and that he had drawn all the papers for them and knew all their plans. that he would ex- pose the whole matter to the public in case said w. F. Holt would agree to support him for the said office of Su- perior Judge. He impressed upon me very forcefully the importance of getting an appointment with said w. F. Holt at the earliest possible mom- ent.

who is now and has at all times advo- cated the candidacy of Mir. Fsrr for the office of superior judge, and right here 1 wish to explain that before the conven- ton Mir. Cory was in the valley and was enabled to carry, over the head of MT. McPherrin, instructions to the Calexico delegation in favor of IT. W. Brewer; but since Mir. Brewer was defeated at the convention and Mr. Cory's subse- quent absence from the valley, MT. Me Pherrin has at the last hour succeeded in securing indorsement for Mir. Farr.
 And now, voters, please note whether or not have clean record and note if you please how soon after my strength was shown in the convention that the Standard, the we'll known organ of the c. D. Co.,, came out boldly trying to at- tack my personal character, and if after due consideration you decide that am not worthy of your vote, I assure you that we shall still be friends.

Franklin l. Cole, Nominee for Superior Judge Recites the History of His Nomination and Tells the Cause of Howe's
 Attacks

Since have been personally attacked by the editor of the Standard and some of that papers supporters, | wish to make few statements regarding the articles snd accusations made. do this for two reasons viz: First l do not hesitate in saying that 1 am out to make thorough and honest canvass for the office of Superior Judge and with the aid of my friends hope to se- cure an election on August 9th. Second ", I wish most of all to protect my name and honor which is more to me than any office which the people of this nation could bestow upon me.
 In regard to my professional card in the Press will say that I have made a special study of corporation law and enjoy that line of professional work !; and my readers will agree with me in this that great deal of business in this great valley of ours must necessarily be done through corporations, and we must have men who can cope with these soulless creatures and use them for the benefit of the people rather than for their oppression.
 While have at different times in the past two years transacted business for and drawn remunerative fees from six different corporations in this valley, I have at no time received fee or com pensation of any kind from either the California Development Co.,, the Southern Pacific By. Go. or the Holton Power or Railway Cos, and 1 have at this time no business relations with any of the above named corporations and furthermore I have at all times paid cash for all transportation charges on both of the above named railroads. It is useless to say that the c. D. Co. has not in the past two years rendered to Imperial Water Go. No. 5 or any person connected herewith, anything without value received, and 1 believe this fact needs no further explanation since it is well known that the c. D. Co. and Imperial Water Go. No. have been in litigation for the past two years and have at all times stood with I'm perial Water Go. No. 5 and upheld this corporation in their cause which have always believed to be just.
 Every person who was at the conven- tion in Imperial on July 18th, 1907 knows that the c. D. Go. was there in force to oppose my nomination and that majority of the delegates were
Imperial Valley press., 1907-08-03

pledged by the bosses against me and
 in favor of H w. Brewer, and that my
 nomination was secured only by se- curing secret ballot which enabled
 the individual delegate to vote for HIS CHOICE for nominee. As to my form
 ing an alliance with the C.. D. Go. it is
 absolutely absurd that after fighting
 for and winning the nomination against
 their wishes that I should make any concessions for the few votes that they
 might control.
 However there are some things not generally known by the public which
 might throw some light on the subject. It is a fact and can be easily proven that Mir. Howe of the Standard spent Sunday July 21st with Mir. Cory the Gen. Mangr. of the c. D. Go. and it is very evident that the political situation was discussed and it was decided that l should be advertised as joining the C.. D. Go. political forces, for on the next day July 22nd the Standard appeared with it's full page "Triple Alliance" in support of MT. Cole for Judge, and this article was followed on July 18th, with more personal and malicious attacks hoping to throw an odihm upon myself and my candidacy.
 In regard to the secret ballot at the convention at Imperial which the Im- perial delegation headed by MT. Went worth fought so desperately to prevent, it was evident to every person present that they were fighting to prevent the individual delegate from casting his vote for hls choice of candidates and endeavoring instead to place the en- tire delegation vote in the hands of the political boss to cast for the corpor- ation candidate Mir. H. w. Brewer. And now MT. Wentworth who was in that convention and knows every move made therein and fought like bulldog for the nomination of the corporation comes out on the platform and announces to the public that 1 myself am the tool of the corporations and, moreover entreats the people to believe him.
 And Atty. Farr in his public speeches would also lead you to believe that my came from the hands of the c. D. Co.,, which statement he knows to be false or at least he could ascertain the truth from his present law partner, Roy McPherrin, who now has charge of the local affairs of the c. D. Go. and

WITH THE POETS
LEARNING TO WALK

One step to mother and one step to me-
A little babe walking the byway of glee!
One step to mother, with hands in the air.
And ''Baby, be careful" and Baby, take
care"
One step to mother-away he goes
On his round hare heels and his bare pink toes.
One step to mother, and back again
With q gurgled laughter OF hearts refrain;
One step to mother and back to me
For ride-a-cock- k-horse on a Banbury knee
Ono step to mother-O little feet.
That walk where the roses Of life are sweet!
One stop to mother, and this is the way
The baby is learning to wander today,
One step to mother, and to and fro,
AS swing him high and I swing him low
One step to mother--across the room.
A lily OF life like a wind-swayed bloom!
One step to .mother-ah. do not slip.
Nor spill the sweet laughter of baby-Iipl
One step to mother-now one, now two,
Come, little fellow, the lesson will dol
One step to mother-and over and Ger
A sunbeam that toddles across the hooorl
One step to mother, a hand in her hand;
All is SO fair in the babyhood land:
Learning to wander and learning to walk
Learning 10 chatter and learning to talk
One step to mother-with rattle and ring.
A bud on the bough and bird on the wing!
One step to mother and one step to me;
Love keep his feet in the pathway Of glee;
Ever the road, be IL short, be II long,
A velvet-sweet byway of laughter and songl
One step to mother-a butterfly boy,
From bloom unto bloom on the rose wings of
joy!
