When and Al what time did the poo-
ple OF the Roman Catholic church, As

discuss the matters OF the adminintra-
ton Of the church. the election Of del-

The fact OF history n that the Ro-
man Catholic church and monarchies
have Joined hands TO prevent repub-
lies. and have been the twin devils
TO burn and cruelty the saints OF God.
All professions OF republican and
democratic claims by this imperial
church IL In vain In face OF history
and present attempts 90 frustrato tho
republicans OF Portugal, Franco and
Germany.
Don't you know that until the refor-
nation became an accomplished fhct,
monarchlsm was maintained by unit
Ing church and state and employing
the joint authority 20 coerco obedi-
enco from tho people2
The domination thus acquired con-
demnod seifsovenment, by tho ped
ple a. both heresy and treason.
Just as soon as a country ceases 20
be monarchial the first act is 90 brVak
the relation OF the church with tho
state.

that CARDINAL Farley took the oafh Of
lllegiance 90 the pope by whom no was

Up and lastlya cardinal. W. l..,

depreciation OF which Is made plain
by the fact that the Jesuits are In
control and sworn 10 establish the
Holy Sec upon throne with universal
and supreme authority TO be known
as the Holy Roman Empire.
Just now tho daily press II subsI-
died in the interest of Rome, and the
editorial In the New York Journal Is
lacking in sincerity. facts or phlloso-
ply TO warrant the prcpostcrous
claim that Jesuitism has anything in
common with republics.
Rome tried 10 nullify the laws OF
France, and they lost: tho pope tried
the same thing with Portugal.
And recently Cardinal Gibbons and
Bishop Ireland said that the inltia-
tive and referendum was the rule OF
/ tho mob.
The poor old antiquated fraud, the
painted harlot OF the ages. is trying
TO put on the robes OF the goddess OF
liberty TO deceive America, but Il will
be In vain for the nation Is opening
Its eyes and will smite tho Catholic
power In politics even as the other
republics are doing today.
