The officers and directors of the
Elk Mountain Coal Company made
an official trip Of inspection to the
company's property Tuesday in COM
pahy with MIR. John buchanan, for
several years local superintendent for
the Crested Butte t,5al Company in
the operation of adjoining property,
and who is recognized as being tur
ablest tnd most experienced author
its on the local coal deposits.
Mr.. Buchanan has been rendered
the position Of superintendent for
this new company, and is now en-
gagged in the work OF determining
the proper point of entrlnce for the
nsw workings which are to be open-
ed up ut the mouth of Baxter Gulch,
which location is admirably suited
to economical operation and teadily
accessible to railway connection by
short spur.
The directors are all enthusiastic
over the immense vein exploited by
the upper workings. The tunnel has
been driven across the vein for 400
feet and exposes neatly II feet of
excellent coal without break Or
any Indication of the prestnce CT

The property is. to be opened and
operated upon large and thoroughly
scientific scale, and will undoubtedly

The most exciting presidential
campaign for several years is
over with results that had been
anticipated by the majority OF the
people. The Republicans lost out
solely on account OF the split. up in
party leadership. The selfish ambi-
tions of Taft and Roosevelt, neither
of which would give up to the other,
has been the occasion Of the down
fall Of the Republican, p:trty. It Is
believed that both factions will now
unite to rcleghte these two individuals
responsible for tho overwhelming
defeat of their party, back into a
political obscurity too deep to admit
of ever being recalled.
The advent of democratic adj
mlnistrttion will place. the country
entirely under democratic rule, as
the newly elected president will have
the support of both houses, which
are democratic.
The long sought opportunity is
here for the democracy to make good
the many promises made for the
bettcrlnent of the conditions of the
common people, the control of the
trusts, regulation of railways, mod
ifying the tariff in favor OF the con-
sumcf instead Of the interests. These
and many other beneficial enact
mcnts are anticipated tintler the
new administration.

A Thinker Wonders At the
Power of Roman
Catholicism.

Dear Sir: 1t has been our very
pleasant privilege to read your vari-
Gus articles on Roman Catholicism,
in your Magazine. We would like
to say for these articles that they are
very entertaining and instructive.
and ought to be in the hands of and
read by every free born American
citizen. 1t is indeed astounding to
know to what depths of super
stition and ignorance our people
have blindly drifted in matters
especially pertaining to religion. And
agree we must with you on your last
article on the Holy Eucharist That
is, to accept such teachings is
greater display of superstitious
ignorance than is displayed by the
inhabitants of darkest heathendom.
And why our American people will
continue to tolerate and consent to
such gross error and blasphemous
doctrine in the name of Christianity,
l am indeed at loss to know; there
can be no excuse as 1 see it, And
that is wilful ignorance, because any
person with sound mind, with
reason properly exercised could know
that such teachings and claims set
forth by Roman Catholics are both

CONTRADICTION.

Dear Sir Some one has said: the
lrishman wants to be funny and can;
the Englishman wants to be and can
not; the Dutchman is, but don't aim
to be; but when it comes to the Irish
mans religion he never sees the point
and damns the Rotterdam and Ans
terdam Dutch. The Irishman be-
longs to the true and only traditional
church and believes in practice, that
very fact will save, and "pats him
self on the back" that all others
will go to hell. The attitude of the
Catholic mind is: he is in a creased
chute that will send him straight to
Heaven. When he comes to die, he
contradicts it all by buying his way
out of purgatory.
1t might be good policy if a Pope
could be chosen, that would die soon;
that would be a good excuse to ad-

unscriptura1 and unreasonable and
for years and years her own claims
have proven false within themselves,
and to know this for a fact would
only be to consult the pages of his
tory and let "Her" records speak
which would proclaim in thunder
tones that "Romanism is Ruinism;"
and such is the records that darken
the pages of history as black as the
midnight darkness and more devilish
than all the host of demons, more
hideous than imagination is able to
span. Oh, that the light and the
truth might shine in, that reason
would have her mighty sway, that
truth her virtues might show, that
hidden error might be undone, and
sin be disdained and spurned.
Our thought is this, Mr.. Watson:
God is using your ready pen and
your great reasoning faculties to en-
tighten His people and that your
zeal and courage stand as it were
like mighty mountain of stone
which the waves, jealousy, hate, sus-
plcion and envy may lash against
till they become as the foam by
the sea shore. So in the persuit of
your work may your good and loving
heart raise in humble thankfulness
unto our God by Whom your work
must be guided and to Whom you
look for protection; and may your
work continue, and be a blessing to
humanity down through the ages to
come. So that soon the truth may
become so clear and the light so
bright that all may see the reason
ablaness of your views which are
supported both by reason and truth;
backed by the word of God by His
Apostles and Prophets and His dear
Son Who gave Himself for us. And
further we hope that your work may
continue and be blessed until you
have slain all the mighty giants of
error, and that truth may triumph
and that may humanity arise and
shake off the shackles Of supersti-
ton along religious lines and our
long cherished hopes may have
happy triumph in righteousness,
when our Lords will may be done
in earth as it is done in Heaven;
and that those who are sacrificing
reputation, putting their name and
fame all upon the altar; sacrificing
in the interest of down-trodden hui
mainly, may receive at His hands
their righteous rewards and hear
from His lips, well done my
faithful sarvant.''
Yours for the truth.

PAGE FOUR THE. u Eff
Present Day Political and Educa-
tional Policies of the Roman
Catholic Church

the form of government in the Ro-
man Catholic Church. In the Pope's
letter against Modernism he says:
"They insist that both outwardly
and inwardly it 1.-THE church, must
be brought into harmony with the
modern conscience, which now tends
toward democracy; a share in the
ecclesiastical government should
therefore be given to the lower ranks
of the clergy and even to the laity,
and authority which is too much con-
centrated should be decentralized.
The Pope is opposed to these de-
mands.
On September 1, 1910, Pope Plus x
issued a letter in which he reaffirms
his declarations against Modernism
and supplies additional restrictions
and remedies, including a lengthy
oath to be taken by the priests and
by all others in authority within the
church. Thus Modernism, which is
Progressiveness, is fought by the
Roman Catholic Church.
This is the Truth which the pres
ent day Catholic schools are COM
manded to teach. To enforce this
character of teaching there are
Councils of Vigilance.
Such is the educational policy of
the present day Roman Catholic
Church.
That church is carrying on an
equally reactionary warfare against
Modernism in politics-Civil Gov
eminent. The head of the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States,
Cardinal Gibbons, has come out
squarely, openly and officially against
the movement for the restoration of
the Peoples Rula-the Progressive
cause. The Cardinals statement
and that Of Archbishop Farley, of
New York City, one week tier, we
have quoted
These declarations are at a time
when political campaigns are in
progress in eleven states and the con-
troll Of the next National Party Con-
ventions is in the balance.
1t is high time that the Anti
Catholic leaders shall plan to carry
the issue to their co-workers. Cath
Ollie activity for the control of the
Government must be offset by Anti
Catholic activity else they will pos

III x, openly attacked Science.
In an encyclical letter against
Modernism he attempted to carry the
world back to the time when there
was a conflict between Theology and
Science and to Danish such portions
Of Science as do not conform to Ro-
man Catholic theology. In this let
ter he says:
Finally, we entrust to the Coun-
ellis Of Vigilance the duty of over
looking assidiously and diligently
social institutions as we'll as writ
ings On social questions so that they
may harbor no trace of Modernism
but obey the prescriptions of the Ro-
man Pontiff.
1T is our intention to establish
by every means in our power a spec
ial Institute in which, through the
cooperation of those Catholics who
are most eminent for their learning,
the advancement of Science and
every other department Of knowl-
edge may be promoted under the
GUIDANCE AND TEACHING OF
CATHOLIC TRUTH. Modernism,
by Sabatier, PIP. 343, 345.
The meaning of "Catholic Truth"
is shown in an earlier report of the
Pope's letter. He speaks of the
Catholic Church wherein truth is
found without the slightest shadow
OF error" Just what that truth is
is shown in his statement that 1.-The
scholastic method Of philosophy is
insisted upon, also ''the Authority
and Tradition of the Fathers, and
the Masterium sovereignty ]of the
church" He further says: eve will
and strictly ordain that scholastic
philosophy be made the basis of the
sacred Science. . 1t is certain
that positive theology should be
held in greater appreciation than it
has been held in the past. Mod
