Before I begin my article ! must
tell q good Joke on Father vaughan
The rawspn Ders announced en- Iues-

FAther Vaughan to take rap. ne
cause others who passed along this
way took rap. and socialism

plainly see. but. 70 my aEtpnisn
ment. Father Vaughan was not talk

drove down In an auto and had hts
chauffeur buy twenty five cents

two or three days after he attended
the meeting
Now. when you see ten or more
men IN conversation today. they are
usually taking about Socialism. and
the Father and police officer took u

hey saw the crowd. and Father
vaughan must have bought some

mlstook Il for Socialism. because
that affords the only political gar
t1age that ! know OF outside OF the
wilson and Taft cans.

bate the Socialists. but we love your
utteraneea u acorn: they cause
people % study and seek the truth

70 make II appear that focialisin
and even the Socialist party Is At
enfnity with not only the Catholic
cnufchs but ali churches and all re-
hxions, and, OF course, when per-
son hoes not know what aocialisn
means and contefnpIates they are
compelled TO talk about something
else. and peoples religious belief al
ways affords opportunity for attack
