John Montgomery, a young farmer
living near Fieldsboro, was awakened
early one morning recently by noise at

Evidently Mr.. Montgomery did not hit
the man as he leaped over fence near the

Mr.. Montgomery says he knows who the
man is. and an arrest is likely to follow.
The mipcreans had not affected an en-

Kodol supplies the same digelc Give
Juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount Of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do it's
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why2 Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does it in natural way.

Is There no Danger i'm This?

The Baltimore Sun, of Monday, September
~, 1909, contains an account of the cOnirma-
ton of 100 children and adults. on the day
before, at Ellicott City, Maryland. Cardinal
Gibbons oficiated.
Among the children confirmed were several
colored girls
The Cardinal preached sermon on Love.
tie exhorted his hearers to love their neigh
bors without distinction of race or color
Is there nothing in this incident to furnish
food for thought? 1t seems to us that
there is.
Separate churches are as desirable as sepa-
rate schools separate cars, and separate ho-
tells Ii the negroes are to be received into
renglOuS congregations, on an equality with
the whites, it would seem silly to insist upon
separation elsewhere
Various questions suggest themselves Are
there any colored nuns? Are there any col
ored priests? Is it contemplated that there
will be any?
The ecclesiastical dictator of Cardinal Glib
bons is an ltalian,-a Latin. The Latin race
has no objection to social equality. Hence,
the mongrelization of Cuba San Domingo.
Central and South America This hybridiz
ing, this crossing of the higher breed with
the lower, was the natural result of social
equality. And social equality was the teach
ing OF the Catholic priests. And the degen-
eracy brought about in those countries is the
logical, inevitable consequence of that teach
ing.
If we begin to practice it in the churches, it
will invade the schools, the cars the hotels.
Then 1t will creep into the Home.
And then we will sink into race of mon
grels,-which the Catholic priests make
wherever they dominate @
Would it not be an awful thing to reflect
upon,-the negro priest, with free access to
