Timely Warnings From,
Protestant Pulpjfs

Ia Fly DEAR SIR: While I differ
lMI with you on some subjects, I
III most thoroughly agree with
you in your stand against the
Roman Catholic organization and it's
domination and influence in this
Free America" l think it is high
time that warnings of our danger
be Numbered from the Protestant
pulpits of this country as well as the
press. 1t seems however, that our
preachers need good injection of
starch in their back-bones before
they will have the grit to open up
as they should. They seem to live
In mortal dread Of saying something
that will offend some one, some
where, possibly Cardinal Gibbons or
possibly someone nearer home and
OF lesser ca1iber. I frequently
wonder at their silence, knowing as
they must, what is going on right
under their very noses.
When you think what pretty pass
we have arrived at when good wo-
men apply for teachers places in one
of our large cities and are turned
down for no other reason than be-
cause they are not Catholics. And
this is fact related to me by a cit
izen Of one of our largest cities only
day Or so since. This state Of
affairs does not prevail among our
Protestant denominations It would
be fool thing to do, to say that
competent women shall not teach in
our public schools because they may
be Meth Odist, Baptist or of any
other belief. 1t only goes to show
the rcttenness Of the Catholic Or
ganization and their eternal desire
to dominate over affairs. Now lis
ten to this: There was a bill before
the last Congress, the purpose of
which was the donation of three
hundred thousand acres of the pub
lie domain in New Mexico to the
Catholic Church. Perhaps you are
aware of this bill and if so-''Lay
on McDuff.'' The bill has not passed
and may come up again at regular
session of Congress. The patriotic
order, Sons Of America with an en-
rollment Of over three hundred and
fifty thousand are opposing it's pas
sage with all their might, by send
ing to their representatives from all
over our country resolutions protest
ing against it. Give it a shot or
two.
Another thing that some of our
Protestant people seem to be blind
to, and that is, sending their chill
dren to Catholic schools They do
not seem to know that it is just
playing into the hands of the Cath
Ollie Church. Don't they know that
that is where they make Catholics
