"T. e. WIS ARREST WAS POLL
TiCAL."


expressing my very earnest appre-
citation of your very able exposition
OF the great danger of Roman Catho-
lie rule and intolerance in America.
| appreciate your stand much more
because so few seem to have the
courage or ability to successfully
combat their evil, insidious and dia-
bolical designs. | admire your very
frank, plain and convincing style in
condemning their officials. Being of
Scotch-Irish decent I've received
papers from Irish source that said
great deal about ST. Peter, ETC., but I
never could see any religion in such
and never thought st. Peter would
have anything to do with my saliva
ton, or aid me in anyway any more
than other good men. The Protest
ants are entirely too careless and in
considerate on this question,
(Romanism), and are doing nothing
comparatively to suppress the great
evils of Roman Catholicism.
Our ministers should expose their
Infamous doctrine more, in fact, I've
not heard it exposed in several
years. About 80 years or more ago
they occasionally explained the evils
of their doctrine, but they were not
near so bold and strong then as they
are now, and as a consequence Of
this careless and Indifferent course
Roman Catholicism in short time
will likely be in control of our gov
eminent as they are ever on the
alert and quietly closing their grasp
on our leaders and that will soon
bring results unless combatted by
men like you. 1t may seem very
effeminate to say so, but it takes a
man OF courage to expose them, be-
cause as you say they are thorough
ly organized and have been fighting
their enemies for centuries if not
boldly, then like the savage or the
thief, anyway to accomplish their
ends.
I've decided to join the Protestant
League and you'll find my applica-
tion enclosed and I think we should
have large majority of the Protest
ants Of America as members, if they
would organize and counteract Ro-
man Catholic influence for few
years cur country would be safe, but
some organization is imperative and
they had better inform themselves
and unite or the cause for which our
Revolutionary fathers fought will be
lost. This is not pessimism but
backed by the history of Roman
Catholic supremacy for ages.
Your arrest is partly if not entire
ly political, for if the same law was
III force when that book was pub
ished (Which we know was) then.
the opportunity for arrest has been
running for years The u. S. Off
Gals were not so density ignorant as
not to detect this Latin confessional
which is disgrace to q civilized
country and the priests who use it
are the ones that should be arrested
and returned to Italy where they
have practiced their diabolical con-
fessionals for centuries, at last to the
disgrace OF that country even as they
see it and now to ours.
When / said your arrest was poll
teal, / did so because they had
done nothing for years and knew
that that confessional was passing
through the mails, but when you
touched them up the Roman
Catholics touched up Taft and
then the arrest. Not many people
have given this serious consideration
and know but little of Catholicism
or political tricks.
Keep up the fight, and I think
