Saws He Killed Banker.

for a moment "Of course L do, he said.

to tell the truth and to try to undo

die with this unconfessed sin on my con-
science. There is a great wrong to be
righted. and you must help me to right
it." NJ. Lepine said nothing, and the dy-
ing man went on, his voice growing
weaker and weaker as the story came,
as though forced by a will which was
stronger than the man himself, from the
leaden-blue lips.
Il was NJ. d'Hervilliers' valet" said
Nerac again. ''You remember his story.
He inherited money. a good deal OF
money, and became partner in the Salig

In celibacy, the priest says to the Roman
layman, Il am better than thou"
By saying to Woman through the insti-
tuition of celibacy-that "If I marry you, I
enter into relations of impurity," the Roman
priest insults the very mother who bore him,
and the father who begot him.

greatly to the dignity and independence of
married women.
The ancient tombs in which these Grecian
women were buried have yielded up the most
lncontestable evidence Of the alteration Of
fathers, lovers and husbands.
In those sepulchers have been found the
most exquisite adornments which ever
enhanced feminine beauty. The fnger-ring,
the bracelet, the necklace, the golden girdle,
every gem and every jewel were employed to
bedeck 'the human form divine;" and the
toilet articles, the vase paintings, the home
furnishings, the bath-chambers where the
daily bath was taken, are but few of the
lmperlshable testimonials of the Greeks con-
slderation for womanxind.
Mr.. Wlndle's attention is. called to the
fact that the Grecian's wife, sister and
daughter were not subjected to polluting
questions poured into her ears by lustful
bachelor priests.
The wife was not educated to believe that
she must meet a man, IN q place of py5vacy,
and aZIoa0 that MON to ask her q0t0t took
place betaOeen herself asod her husband oohe7a
they a0e1et to bed together
Her daughters mind was not sown with
prurient suggestions, designed to rob her of
modesty, self-respect and virtue.
IN that particular, the Greek qOomaa9o had
"'0 'T"''S" "'0etT''~90 " 0N6 1IO""UC C01CO0Ic
a00moan.
What was the status of Woman, in pagan
Rome, just before the dawn of Christianity?
Was she "slave?"
In Lecky's "History of European Morals"
Vol. H., 31e, we read:
"the beautiful sentence of luri-
consult of the empire, who defined marriage
as a lifelong fellowship Of all divine and
human rights, expressed most faithfully the
feelings of the people,"
The Roman wife, widow, or spinster had
full control of her separate property. She
employed lawyers to look after her business
interests, Just as men did. In a divorce case,
her dowry had to be returned to her. unless
it were proven that she was the guilty cause
of the separation.
The Roman wife had the same right to
divorce her husband that he had to divorce
her: thus the marriage became a copartner-
ship which either could dissolve.
l am much mistaken If modern opinion
does not eventually settle down to the ideal
of old Rome; to-wit, thGt both the parties to
a marriage ha0e the right to seek happiness
e7$ea0here, AFTER 1t has been FULLY Demon
str0ted that the marriage as a failure.
Aristotle, Plutarch and Seneca taught that
the husband owed the same fidelity to the
marriage VOWS as the wife did; and the
Emperor, Antoninus Plus, in signing judg-
ment against married woman for adultery,
added this condition:
provided always it is established that by
your life you gave her an example of fidelity.
1t q0oalzd be unjust that a husband enact
fidelity he does not Ainssezf keep"
That was the lofty ideal of a>pagan mon
arch: what is the practice under Roman
Catholicism!

1t IS the only priesthood that ever
employed assassins.
1t is the only one that ever declared, as a
religious doctrine, that it is no crime to
violate the Commandment which says
"z'Aou shalt not kiU!0
The record of the Roman Hierarchy reeks
with the blood shed by her private assassins.
King after King, has been removed" by
poison, the dagger, or the gun.
Even Popes have been removed" when
the Jesuits could not use them.
Cardinals have poisoned cardinals, priests
have poisoned priests, and Popes have
poisoned cardinals.
In this pagan church where forgiveness of
any sin can be purchased, murder is a
fine art.
There is murder behind Convent walls, in
monastesies- infanticide being the most
common.
This being the atmosphere created in the
church, is it any wonder that the laymen
catch the infectiong
Three of our Presidents have been muir
dered-by Roman Catholics.
A priest pointed out Gaynor to Gallaher,
and the would-bs assassin did what the priest
meant he should do. Gaynor did not die
from Gallahsr's shot, but the attempt on his
life cowed him into craven submission to the
Roman machine in New York City.
When in Rome, Italy, Roosevelt was diplo-
matically requested to promise that he would
not visit the Methodist Mission, after he had
been received by the Pope.
Roosevel stood upon his American man
hood, and refused to make the promise.
Whereupon the Pope declined to receive
the visit.
Immediately, the hckspittle Romanist
editors of this country began to rave about
the insult which Roosevelt had given their
Pappy.
These American degenerates forgot all the
favors that Roosevelt had heaped upon their
church during his Presidency.
They foraot all their own expressions of
gratitude for those favors.
For no other reason than that Roosevelt
refused to 01gosO Gssethsr MEN to dictate to
AsDa aoAope he sAo4SB9 ViSit, after he had Wis
tied this other man.
Ever since then, the American ickspittles
of this aged ItAhan peasant have been bitter
against the American whose robust manhood
asserted itsaf in Rome.
Therefore, it is, not surprising that one of
these dupcs of the priests should trail Roose-
Welt, from State to State, watching for the
opportunity to kill him.
Had it not been for thick wad of manu-
script in his breast pocket, Roosevelt would
have been murdered.
After having been shot, Roosevelt went
right on, and made his speech something
that no other man living would have had the
pluck and nerve to do.
1t must have cost Schrank pile of money
to trail Roosevelt over such wide territory,
and am wondering where the finances came
from. ~

MASTER AND MAN,

Mr.. Bruce Ismay's name appears
among those OF the women and chill
dren saved" Mr.. Ismay is one Of the
owners OF the White Star line, which
failed to provide boats enough to take
of more than a small fraction of
those on board. 1t appears from the
dispatches that he crowded into one of
the spaces In the few lifeboats and
left more than 1900 others to their
fate. The incident prompted Mr.. B.
Hecht to contribute the following
vitriolic lines to the Chicago Journal:
The Captain stood where Captain
should,
For the Law of the Sea Is grim;
The Owner romped ere his ship was
swamped
And no Law bothered him.
The Captain stood where the Captain
should,
When Captains boat goes down;
But the Owner led when the women
fed.
For an Owner must not drown.
The Captain sank as a man of Rank,
While his Owner turned away;
| The Captains grave was his bridge
and, brave,
He earned his seaman's pay.
To hold your place In the CHASTITY face
OF Death on the Sea at Night,
Is Seaman's job, but to flee with the
mob
Is an Owners Noble Right.

BUTLER ON SOCIALISM

The keynote of the New York
Republican convention was sounded
in the address of President Butler
of Columbia University, when, after
reviewing the various factions of I'M
rest and discomfort in and out of the
party he said: make no mistake, my
fellow-R The inspiration
and driving force behind the move
ment for the overthrow of representa-
tive institutions and for the attacks
upon the independence and integrity
of the courts is socialism. There Is
the enemy" Continuing he said:
Socialists may well look on with
satisfied contentment while the
poor blind folk who still call them
selves Republicans or Democrats do
their bidding and labor to put into
effect their policies. The civil liberty
of the individual and the institution
of private property are hateful in their
eyes. They dream of collectivist
state in which every individual will
be a pawn moved on the chessboard
of industry and politics as the over
pow ering might of numerical
majority may determine. Do not call
that progress. Do not call that con-
sonant with a republican form OF
government. Do not call that
american.

FAIR SHIP AND ICEBERG PALE
"a TRYST'

Ever Death rode upon its solemn
heights,
Ever his watch he kept;
Cold at its heart through changing
days and nights.
It's changeless purpose slept.
And where afar smiling coast It
passed,
Straightway the air grew chill,
Dwellers thereon perceived bitter
blast,
A vague report OF Ill.
Like some imperial creature moving
slow.
Meanwhile with matchless grace,
The stately ship. unconscious of her
foe,
Drew near the trysting place
For still the prosperous breezes fol
lowed her,
And half the voyage was DER;
In many breast glad thoughts be-
EdH W StiIy
OF lands that lay before.
And human hearts with longing love
were dumb,
That soon would cease to beat,
Thrilled with the hope of meetings
soon to come,
And lost in memories sweet.
Was not the weltering waste OF wa
ter wide
Enough for both to sail?
What drew the two together Ger the
tide.
Fair ship and iceberg pale?
There came night with neither moon
nor star,
Clouds draped the sky In black:
With fluttering canvas reefed at ev-
cry spar,
And wierd fire in her track,
The ship swept on; a Wild wind gath
ering fast,
Drove her at utmost speed
Brayely she bent before the fitful
blast
That shook her like reed.
o helmsman, turn thy wheel! Will nc
| surmise
Cleave through the darkness drear
No warning of the horrible surprise,
Reach thine unconscious ear?
She rushed upon her ruin, not fast
Broke up the waiting dark.
Duly through wind and sea, one aw
full crash
Sounded, with none to mark.
Scarcely her crew had time to clut,l
despair.
SO swift the work was done:
Ere their pale lips could frame ;
speeches. prayer,
! They persisted, every one.
