ROME IN POLITICS.
True to her history in every
land, Rome is entering fully and
fearlessly into American politics
She is organizing for a thorough
going campaign. This is the
significance of the knights Of
Columbus and the Fedora
ton OF Catholic Societies. % The
American Citizen Of September
7, 1911, quotes the Catholic
World of New York as follows:
1.-The Roman Catholic is to
WELD his vote for the purpose of
securing Catholic ascendency 10
this country. All legislation
must be governed by the will
Of God unerringly indicated by
the pope. Education must be
controlled by the Catholic au-
thorities, and under education
the opinions of individuals and
the utterances of the press are
included. Many opinions ought
to be forbidden b! the secular
arm under the authority of the
Church, even to war and blood
she'd"
There they have stated the
case for themselves, and out
lined their POLITICAL program
That they have already met
with encouraging success. the
facts show plainly. Although
THE Knights of Columbus is a
fraternal order for Catholic
members only" and although
there are but 1853, 800 Of them in
the whole United States. they
have succeeded in some thirty
States of the Union in securing
legislation giving them Colum
bus Day as a State holiday,
which they are as Catholics,
using to advertise Catholicism
and to deceive those who are
ignorant of history by Haunting
false claims before their eyes
on this Roman Catholic gala oc-
casion.
If patriotic Americans are
wise they will undo this craftily
secured LEGISLATION without de
lay. The Texas Legislature,
with others, was taken un-
awares and made Columbus
Day a State holiday. The
first celebration of Columbu.
Day in Texas. % according to
The Official program" was
obeyed in Austin, Texas, our
capital, recently. The occasion
was used to put on parade all
the Right Reverends'' and
Very Reverends''of the Roman
heirar, by in Texas and the
'Pontifcal High Mass was
celebrated in the open air to
Woodbridge Park, Austin and in
other ways the day was used to
advertise Roman Catholicism,
as it was meant to be used when
the Knights of the Columbus
secured legislation making the
day holiday. veralnon-Cath-
olic State politicians and officials
lent their presence to the oc-
casion, and thereby helped to
boo the Catholics in Texas.
The Governor Of Massachus-
setts has yielded to the political
demands Of these Knights, and
having twelve judges to appoint,
has appointed eight Roman
Catholics Out of the twelve.
The Boston Daily Journal Of
April 10Th quote W. II. Nc
Kechnie, a Roman Catholic law
yer of Boston; as follows: The
day is coming when men elected
to high positions in this COM
monwealth will have to be not
only Catholics, but men who
are educated in Catholic col
leges, for the twenty years we
shall have control Of the state,
both politically and otherwise. !"
This declaration was made at e.
Roman Catholic celebration in
honor of the Catholic judges ap-
pointed by the Governor.
