Polish Catholics In Revolt

All attempts to shake the indiet-

there Is plenty OF H.

nation out OF the mouths Of thous-
ands Of their own people
The Menace has saio that this
church 10 lts management aud politi-

hierarchy is unAmeriean. unChris-

tlon. both In religion and politics.
II cannot be denied In the face OF
the published protest OF the Polish
press and backed by It's outraged peo-
pie.
The Menace is lighting the same
battle these Poles are waging. They
are Roman Catholics, this is their
right and privilege. But they now
begin TO see that arbitrary power
lodged IN the pore and bishops leads
to tyranny and religious and political
prescription.
The divine right Of a pope TO rule
American institutions, It's schools,
press and In civil and religious lib
erty is hateful and cannot be en-.
dured-and will not be.
The Menace quotes freely from the
circular issued by the central COM

their own bitter experience.

fow disgruntled. ambitious people.
but the tremendous protest Of one
fourth OF the Roman Catholic church

Here is proof Of The Meuace's
whole contention. wrought out In
broad daylight In sight Of the whole
country.
Now let those contemplate men
and Catholic editors who have
wanted TO bet $4,000 that The Men

yenality and disloyalty Of the noman

the money they so freely bet 10 the
