The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1911-11-11

In its constant, obstinate, siren
uous endeavor to acquire govern
ment Of the State, the Roman
Catholic church in Austria is pa
tiently working to obtain control
Of and bring into subjection the
conscience Of the people. The
Church is well aware that its do
minion over the wealth or politics
Of a nation has no power except
with the submissive acquiescence
Of its subjects. Therefore sup
ported by the enormous wealth Of
the War Treasury il is adopting
q tacit but immense spiritual pro-
gramme Of propaganda and seeks
10 gather around itself a gigantic
army Of faithful subjects who viii
assist in the struggle for dominion
over the Austrian empire.

Yumd'S Harvest

The benefits derived by Yuma from the million dollars the government IS spending on the Colorado control levoe are in evidence in the heavy shipmf nts of supplies being forwarded to the con- struction camps, chiefly through k. F. Sanguinetti. who in two days this week sent over five car loads of grain, hay and provisions to the scene of opera tiuns below the boundary line. con- tinuous string of mule ieansiS engaged in hauling this stuff and will be SO until April. Adding to this the large per- centage of the payroll to be spent in Yuma and it can be readily seen what a biz asset it is to the town. The cltl- zens whose enterprise and credit se- cured this much-needed financial lift deserve much bonor from the commu- nity.
