Attitude of Catholic Church.


The Roman Catholic Church has for
centuries back and down to the present
time. through its official head. opposed the
complete separation of church and state,
full religious liberty. freedom of con-
science, OF speech and of the press.

by the Lutherans proves very clearly that
IL is simply Impossible for the mass OF
the Protestants of this country to prac-
tlce the principle of true Americanism

Your letter to me, until all things are
equal; that is, the Catholic Church sus-
tains the same relation to this country
that sustained by the Protestants."
AS evidence of the Presidents point of
view on such subject he quotes from

Norris characterization of Thomas
Paine as filthy little atheist He
declares that Paines religion was the

RHEUMATIC FOLKS.
Are You Sure Your Kidneys are
Well7

Many rheumatic attacks are
due to uric acid in the blood.
But the duty of the kidneys is
to remove all uric acid from
the blood. It's presence there
shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't daily with "uric acid

doomsday with them, but until
you cure the kidneys you will

Pills not Only remove uric acid,
but cure the kidneys and then
all danger from uric acid is
ended. Here is Wahpeton
testimony to prove it.
Albert Schneider, Wahpeton,
N. D., says: Il suffered from
lumbago, a weakness across
the small of my back and a
disordered condition of my
kidneys for years. 1 had at
lacks of backache which would
come on suddenly and for
hours 1 would be unable to
straighten or turn my body in
any direction, without suffer
ing severely. The secretions
from my Kidneys were too
frequent in action and the pas
sages were attended with a
.scalding sensation. Some time
ago 1 learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured a box at Keen's
drug store and began their use.
They helped me at once and
a few boxes completely cured
me of this distressing com

t7o,ooo.ooo WAS GRATED
Representative Lloyd shows How tho
Congress Gave Railroads That
Sum Improperly.

Representative James T. Lloyd, Of
Missouri, chairman of the Democratic
national congressional committee, on
March 10, 1908, exposed the fragrant
theft Of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing Of mails when Of
fetal tests were made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
"Mr. Chairman, in delivering my ad.
dress a few days since on postal con-
dltions, in discussing the interpreta-
ton of tile law as to the weighing of
the mail, I failed to state the law on
the subject, and wish to dss1o now:
= The average weight to be ascer-
tained. In every case, by the actual
weighing Of the mails for such a num-
Der of successive working days, not
less than thirty, Mt such times after
June 30, 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years.
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
Until March 2, 1867, the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con-
sidered, so that the weighing covered
q period Of one hundred and five days
Instead Of ninety successive days. In
other words, working days were con-
strued to mean week days. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou changed this in
depreciation which had been accepted
as correct for over thirty years and
Issued the following order as his con-
structton Of the law:
That when the weight Of mail Is
taken on railroad routes, the whole
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divisor for obtain
Ing the average weight per day.
''This required in effect, that, in
stead Of dividing the number Of work
Ing or week days in the weighing
period. the devisor should be the mum.
her Of days on which mail was actual
~ carried during the period. If it
was weighed one hundred and five
days, tie divisor to obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and FIVE. II
the mail was not carried on Sunday,
the divisor would be ninety. This. as
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days, for the &C.
cumulated mail would be practically
the same whether carried in six days
or in seven.
"The present postmaster general,
seeing this predicament, issued another
order Of construction, known as order
412,' which Is as follows:
"Ihat when the weight Of mail il
taken on railroad routes tie whole
number Of days included in the weigh
ing period shall be used as divisor
for obtaining the average weight per
day.
IF the construction up to last year
was right, then there has been with
held from the railroads this year over
$1.7OO,OO0 that is theirs Under the law.
II the present construction is the prop
er one, the railroads have received
over $7O,OOO,OOO since 1880 that be-
longs to the people; so that whichever
view is sustained money has been
wrongfully withheld through the post
Office department"

WHERE DID YOU GET TIT
"Uncle Joe' Invites Demand That
He Show Where He Got
His Wealth.

Speaker Cannon intimated that Mr..
Bryan had become millionaire. The
speaker was speaking in his home
town, Danville, Ill.
The following day Mr.. Bryan, speak

trict, opened his ledger to the gaze
of the American people and showed
that he is worth approximately $780,

Having thus accepted Speaker Can
mons challenge to "'fess up" Mr..
Bryan demanded in return that
Speaker Cannon "snitch on himself;"
that is, that Mr.. Cannon also "'f.ss
up" and relate just how he got his
wealth.
1t is perfectly proper thing. too;

he amassed his wealth: He has been

duties during his term of service in
the congress, yet in spite Of that OBJ
stacle, he is commonly presumed to

Now "Uncle Joc's'' Turn.
None will deny that it is now Uncle
Joes turn to take the people into his
confidence. Down in Danville. it is
true that Mr.. Cannon and his brother
as bankers are thought each to have
amassed much more than S1OOO.O0O.
Certainly. his credit in the financial
world rests on the general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possessions.
II that be true, it is to be hoped
that the speaker. will give details as
to how he got it. If it be untrue, then
let him tell exactly how much he is
worth, and Of what his wealth con.

in taking the people into his conf

Mr.. Cannon cannot gracefully re
