JAckAss ARGUMENT

In another place win be found let.
ter from Rev. Clutter. Huron. S. D.,
who was beaten up and abused by a
bunch of Roman thugs In that city
recently for the simple reason that
he dared to preach the truth abou;
Catholicism.
We are in receipt OF another letter
from that point. written by n prom.
inent citizen. from which We take
the following:
"Mr. A. F. Pay, nominee for elec'
ton for secretary Of state, was met
by a friend on the street and was &C.
costed in a jocular manner in regard
to what Evangelist Clutter said about
the public press here, while holding
revival meeting at this place. His
reply was that the preacher did not
get any more than he deserved, and
ought to be run out OF town. as he
had no business to say anything in re
gard TO Catholicism. This man Pay
is working for the Catholic vote for
both nomination and election"
The writer also encloses a circu
lar on which is the cut OF jackass
and under the cut is defamatory word
ing about Rev. Clutter.
This was the argument with which
the Catholics answered Rev. Clutter
in Huron. s. D.. u. s. A. In different
localities they use different argu
ment. Some places they use stones
and stale eggs; other places. fire and
dynamite; in Huron. pictures Of theiI
own tribe.

RoME'S POLITICAL ARM


IGNITION has been made in
MI these columns time and again
Iva OF the American Federation OF
Catholic Soeieties. This organization
is destined 20 be the political right
arm OF Rome. and Its actixitiea
should convince the most stuptct. even.
OF the truth, OF The Menace's contcn-
tion that Roman Catholicism Is not n
religion, in the generally accepted
meaning Of the word. but Is a gigantic
ecclesiastical trust organized for pelt
and power, and in this country active
" engaged in a campaign 10

reduce the republican form OF govern.
ment which we now enjoy to a tenn
poral dominion of an ecclesiastical
potentate. Not long since Bishop Nc
Faul, of Trenton, n. J., told a gather.
ing Of the Ancient order Of Hiber.
mans, that the Roman Catholics OF
America were fools not TO organize
in one solid mass and make their pow
or felt in the politics Of this country;
there were 100000 Roman Catholic
voters, and IL they we're united for
political action they could make this
country a Roman Catholic nation.
This federation has now been
formed by the following societies:
The Knights OF Columbus,
The Knights of st. John,
The Catholic Benevolent Legion.
The Ancient order OF Hibernians,
The Irish Catholic Benevolent I'm
ion,
The Irish-American Societies,
The German-American Societies,
The Catholic Knights OF America,
The Catholic Total Abstinence Un'
ion Of America; and besides these
organizations, there are scores of 9th
ers OF less prominence. y
In this connection Il may be well
20 recall the words OF the so-called
liberal Catholic. Archbishop ireland
ut the hundredth anniversary OF the
establishment Of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy in the United States, which
was held in Baltimore. November 10

yers testified that $4,000 was a rea.

yers testified that 100000 was a rea-
sonable fee for the work, but tn
Judge allowed only $65O.00. But the
man was forced to hire other lawyers
to get this reduction. Net result, the
large fee was divided into smaller on I
and given to several lawyers instead
of to one. It seems no more than fair
that the original high priced attorney
should have gotten no fee at all, af-
ter the owner Of the property was
obliged to go to SO much expense.
Another argument is that the law
yer is giving you high class profess

that when mortgage is to be fore

Adver tisement


l favor the recall Of judges. Rec
ords show that Z 5 per cent Of the
cases which come before. the court are
decided upon technicalities, insto ad CT
upon the merits Of the cases. The
recall would make for a greater fair
ness, real justice
favor new legislature concerning
tho legal profession.
l. That no attorneys fee should be
allowed on foreclosure of mortgages
on account of the high rate of inter-
est. The MORTGAGE can foreclose for
$25 to $50; but your present-day at
torney figures on getting the equity
in the property. For instance. he will
charge $3.50 for foreclosing mort.
gage of $500. The men who have to
pay these mortgages and interest are
the men who are the backbones of cur
country, and they need protection.
2. That the attorneys fee for col
lecting promisscry notes should be
limited to s per cent of the face value
not from 100 per cent up.
3. That in other matters coming
before the court reasonable attor-
ney's fee shall be fixed by the jury.
4. When some attorney legislator
asks for the code to be revised that
he be required to state whether it
covers some case in his own county
or whether he is asking it for some
one else.
During the last session Of the legis-
latrre paragraph ITO was revised
The revision cost this county $4,000
worth of good property Seven cases
out of 10 Of such revisions arc made
for clients.
l believe in organized labor as the
quickest way Of getting Industrial
liberty. Under present conditions it
is hard to pass a law favoring the
labcring man individually. At pres
ent we have a law giving a man the
right to collect pay up to the time he
is paid off, but if he should try to
take advantage of that law he would
find the attorneys fees more than
the claim, and if it was against the
railroad company Or any CT our big
concerns he would be blacklisted be-
sides. Too great inequality in power
is necessarily destructive Of liberty, be
It political or industrial
1t would be great advantage to
many of cur cities and villages to
have laws giving them more control
over corporations opera ing within
their limits They should also have
the opportunity to sell surplus power
prduoced by municipal plants.
One argument used against the re-
gulation of attorneys fees and the
Of mortgages and promis-
sorry notes. is that this will raise the
rate Of INTEREST," At tho present time,
the farmer gets poorer service from
tthe money powers than any other
man in American industry. At the
same time he has the best security
Ia the world. He pays from two to
three times the rate Of interest paid
oy the manufacturers and corporations
The reason % simply that he Is in
no combination. Hence it is up to the
legislature to reduce the rate of in
.erest and regulate these attorneys
lees.
Another argument advanced Is thai
! man may fight exhcrbitant fees In
he courts. On one foreclosure the
zee named was $2OOO.OO; and since
he owners equity In his place did
lot amount to more than that re d.,
ermined TO fight it out. Otter law
