So far as my influence goes, it will be

from the Wilson counties as may present to
the convention the proper credentials from
their county executive committee.
We must not do wrong because the Smith

We must set the example Of doing right; of

PAGE NINE

President Tat4 is Craw-FisEaing
and Lying.
4 T last President Taft realizes that he has
aroused the nom Catholics Of the United
States. Driven to desperation, he is trying to
avert the storm by issuing strings of lies.
When he was in charge, in the Panama
Canal Zone, he put small army of priests
and nuns on the Z. s. payroll He knew he
was violating the law when he did this
He himself said, that he could have been
impeached for it.
He could have been, and he should have
been. But the great non Catholic American
world was dormant, and Taft's impeachoble
and punishable misconduct was passed over
with but perfunctory comment.
When Governor Of the Philippines, he took
testimony, under oath and uncontradicted.
which showed that the friars had obtained the
richest lands in those islands, by the most
outrageous frauds and impositions Some
OF the property they had simply squatted on,
there being no one to drive them out because
the Spanish government in the Islands was
managed by the friars themselves.
The sworn testimony disclosed the horrible
facts that the friars compelled native wives
and virgins to submit to their lustful pas
sions Nearly every Roman Catholic
friar was, in practice, Mormon. They all
had concubnes and swarms of bastard child
ren.
They governed the whole country, imposed
the most burdensOme taxation used the church
to eXtort the last penny from the native
believers, and when these native believers
could not pay in cash, they were compelled to
work FOR the friars, as the peasant were
driven to forced labor in the wicked old times
in Europe.
These abolninable friars not only robbed
the Filipinos OF their lands bat revived the
most hideous abuse of feudalism, the ius
z>r5n20 moctiS-the right of the first night
This means that, when native Filipino
married, the Roman Catholic f75ar claimed
ard esoercised the right to spend the first night
a0itb the bride.
This sworn testimony was reported to Pres
ident Mckinley, by William Howard Taft,
acho heord those 2ejt"esses and put the que8-
tiops to them himself.
That frightful report, which Mr. Taft in
his accompanying introduction softened as
much as he possibly could, was printed by The
Government, and is known as Senate D0cu-
ment 1870, Second Session 56th Congress-
Nearly every copy of this awful Indictment of

IN Baltimore the Rolnanists published a
paper called The Cozorcd Haruest. It's
purpose is to make Romanists out of negroes.
Read this extract:
Throughout the world many shrines and grot-
toes attract devout children to the feet of the
Mother Of God, but nowhere is more true devotion
manifested than at the grotto of Our Lady Of
lourdes at Epiphany College, Elsewhere throngs
are attracted by the reports of
cures, by succession Of miraculous interces-
sory acts Of Mary. But, could we prove beyond
the shadow OF doubt the authenticity Of the
reported cures, by the crowds would
dwindle, and, sorrowing and with distrust Marys
clients Would turn away, and would follow her
more Her shrines and her grottoes would
crumble from neglect the hymns Of her remaining
faithful followers would be but the distant echo Of
the once mighty paeans of praise.
Now we have neither the desire the inten-
ton to impugn the motives which we believe
attract most of the faithful to these hallowed
spots Of earth; merely venture to assert the
opinion that devotion actuated by desire to
escape some i'll; by desire to wealth
to acquire distinction; Or by any such material
motives, is not the purest of devotiOns;
the shrines surrounded by such devotees, the ones
most dear to the heart of Mary. But, the
contrary, wherever two three gathered
together in M&ry's name, ntoning hymns Of
praise, gratitude and petition, and seeking first
the kingdom of Cod there is Mary in the midst
Of them; there is a spot most dear to her.
II God existed from eternity and will con
tinue to exist throughout eternity, how could
He have had a pre-existing Mother?
Mary was the mother Of tho> n2a1o, Jesus
Christ, who was born of the womb as other
men are born, who lived, physically, as other
men lived, and who died, physically, as other
men die
Jesus, while on earth, gave Mary no distinc-
ton over other women.
She had numerous family Of children, in
a human manner, by human husband.
The Bible does not tell us what became Of
her, finally
We know, only, that, after the Crucifxion,
she went to live with John. From this, it is
fair to assume that her husband was dead, and
that she had no home Of her own.
Jesus, on one notable occasion when she
and some Of her other sons came to see Him,
refused to so out to her, but went, instead to
the sea-shore.
Yet here qoe haze Ane,ican citizens cpa7t-
ing N0ry above Christ, AND WORSUIPP-
ING HER, INSTEAD or HER SOW!
They even call her q V5rgin-this good old
Jewess who mothered house full of children.

HOW Senator BarkIaead Is HURT
img Oscar Underwood.

ing Oscar Underwood.
THE rotten Lorimer sits and votes, as a
member of the most august legislative
body the world ever saw
Ills election was purchased, with ready
cash.
Democratic members of the Illinois legis-
lature were hired to vote for the Republican
candidate.
They were paid $4,000 apiece.
Then they met the Republican boss in st.
Louis, and divided the jack pot-the left over
amount which he had carried around his waist
il belt.
Several of the bribe-takers confessed.
One of them committed suicide.
The facts are known of all men,
Edward Hines who collected the slush fund
from the corporations has been expelled from
the Chicago clubs.
Roosevelt refused to dine with Lorimer-
which was tough, for Roosevelt had dined
with Booker Washington.
Yet in spite of all, Lorimer retains his
seat.
How?
By Democratic votes.
That's the way Lodge held on. Democrats
voted for him in the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture
That's the way Lippitt got the seat of Aid
rich. Democrats in the Rhode Island legis-
lature put him over.
Queer isn't it?
Who are the Democratic Senators that keep
Lorimer in the U. S. Senate?
Like the Deserters Of March 1909, most Of
them are from the South.
Fletcher of Florida, is one. He's a Lum-
Der Trust servant
Tillman, Of South Carolina, is another lie
is another Lumber Trust servant.
Simmons, of North Carolina, is another
He also, is Lumber Trust servant.
Bankhead and Johnston, of Alabama, are
two others.
Both of them voted with the Lumber Trust,
although the Democratic platform pledged
them to vote for "the immediate repeal of all
duties on lumber"
Senator Banlzhead is the Campaign man
ager Of Oscar Underwood.
Senator Bankhead entrusted Underwood's
campaign, in the great State of Texas to the
utterly discredited Joe Bailey.
Senator Bankhead ought to have known
that Joe Bailey's support of Underwood
would be certain to lose him Texas.
Senator Bankhead himself is a grievous
burden to Underwood
Senator Bankhead would be we'll advised
if he changed his tactics, at once. And he
could not make better start than to call up
the Lorimer report, and vote that rascal out
of the Senate
There is sinister coincidence in the facts
that Edward Hines is the Lumber Trust lob
byist, and that all the Southern Senators who
voted for Lorimer are on record as Lumber
Trust servants.
