Catholicism is the relentless foe
of liberty and education, the chief
foundation stones of America.
Had Catholicism held it's own in
America it would now number 49,
100000 members instead of 15,000,-
600.
France is not decadent and she
now leads Europe in ideas.
Eighty per cent. of the criminal
class are Roman Catholics.
New York, Oct 11.-Following
the replies of leading Protestants to
the recent anti-Protestant pronun-
ciamentos of Father Vaughan, Car
dfnal Vannutelli, Cardinal Logue and
other high Catholic prelates, Cardi-
nal Logue, primate of Ireland, who
came to New York to assist in the
recent conservation of St. Patrick's
cathedral, has reiterated his belief
in the ultimate triumph Of Catholic
ism in America
The fire Of the cardinal was drawn
by the Sunday night attack on Cath
Ollclsm of the Rev. Charles f. Aked
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church,
known as Rockefeller's church.
Catholicism will be tie salvation
of America" Cardinal Logue de-
clared, because it's cardinal princi-
pies strike at the very things that
tend to national decay. America is
wonderful nation, but she is beset
by many evils, chief of which are
the prevalence of divorce and the
tendency of graft in official and pub
lie life. Against both Of these the
Catholic church has always waged
implacable war.
Catholicism is the application Of
the deepest principles of Christiani-
ty, and [ never could understand
how an intelligent Christian could
honestly oppose our church. The
evil results of warning against the
Catholic church were never better
illustrated than in France. This
country has steadily refrigerated
since she began fighting the church
until now she is so decadent that
Germany could overwhelm her
should the two ever engage in an
other war. Frances population has
decreased and her official life is a
record Of incompetency and dishon-
esry.
Portugal should take a lesson
from France"
81 believe the time will come when
America will be classed as Catholic
nation. Everywhere l see evidences
of the tremendous growth in mem
bership and influence of the church.
The Rev. Mr.. Aked talked without
reserve, when asked whether he
cared to answer Cardinal Logue.
"The Catholic church. through all
ages, has been the unrelenting foe of
liberty and education" he said. ga
zeal for education and an enthusiasm
for liberty are what differentiates
America from other nations and
these are the two things that Catho-
licism has fought the hardest Even
the Catholics admit that they are
the strongest among ignorant peo-
pie.
Catholicism is not going to sweep
this country. OF it's 100000
members (the census gives them
only 12,O0O,0OO) 100000 are for
eigners who are preached to in for
eign tongues.

HOW THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMN
BUS TRIED TO BRTBE A CON-
GRESHAM TO BETRAY HIS
COUNTRY.
"Who is E. L. Scharf?"
Speech
Of
Hon. Ben Johnson,
of Kentucky,
In the House of Representatives,
March 3, 1911.
Messmore Place.
The next business was the bill g.
8774) to change the name of Mess
more Place to Mozart Place.
The Clerk read the bill as fol-
lows:
Be it enacted, ETC., That the street
now known and designated as Mess
more Palace and extending from
Euclid Street to Columbia Road shall
hereafter be designated Mozart
Place, and the surveyor of the Dis
trict of Columbia is hereby directed
to enter such change on the records
of his office.
The Speaker. Is there objection?
Mr.. Johnson of Kentucky, Mr..
Speaker, reserving the right to OBJ
Ject, l wish to make statement
that | feel every man in this House
is entitled to hear Finally, l shall
not interpose any objection to the
passage Of this bill; but I desire to
say that it has been lobbied for by
a man whom every member of this
House ought to know something
about That man is named E. l..
Scharf, When l came to Congress
four years ago l got a very mystic
rious note from this man asking me
to call at his place and see him at
No. 900 Fourteenth Street. I went,
and when [ got there he asked me
If would be a candidate for re-elec-
ton to Congress. l told him that
would. He then told me that he had
looked up my district and found that
there were 1000 catholic votes
therein. He then made a proposition
to me that for pecuniary consider
alton he would deliver those 1000
Catholic votes to me. In that con-
nection he also said he was a Knight
of Columbus, and through that or
ganiZation he could surely and GER
tainly deliver those votes to me. Mr.
Speaker, I wish to say that l am
proud of being both a Catholic and
Knight of Columbus, and [ en-
phatically deny that this man can do
anything of the kind. I furthermore
know that there are several Mem
bers on this floor to whom he has
made the same proposition, and
have been informed that he has OBJ
tanned money from Members Of this
House upon the pretext that he could
deliver to them the Catholic vote in
their districts and the votes of the
Knights Of Colusbus in the United
States for pecuniary consideration.
The Order of Knights of Column
bus is not a political organization,
but instead strictly fraternal, and it
is a reflection upon both the Catho-
lie church as we'll as upon the Order
Of Knights of Columbus that this
man can go unchallenged and unex-
posed in his nefarious scheme.
Therefore | say what do relative to
him for the purpose of protecting
this membership, as well as for the
purpose of defending the Catholic
church and the knights of Columbus
from such characters who for a few
dollars bring discredit upon that
church and upon that order Every
Catholic and every knight of Column
bus will, Il know, appreciate an ex-
posture of this Catholic "for revenue

Will Appear Here

The Texas Cattle King which appears
at the Opera Hall next Tuesday enjoys
an enviable reputation and deservedly
so on account of the fact that it has
played for the past several seasons with
out an adverse criticism. Admitting
that no drama can please every one,
the Texas Cattle King has played from
coast to coast and everywhere it has
been greeted with applause aud has been
acclaimed the one play that depicts the
great west as it really is aud the char
acters are those big hearted people who
helped make history in cattle country
when the plains were open to the sky,
and not cat ;aso fields by the barbed
wire fence. This is play on the order
of those famous books by Jack London
and other writer's of western stories
which have been so popular. A thrill
ing love tale interviewer with comedy
and pathos, all combining to make an
unusually pleasing story and by elimin-
ating the desperate and bad man this
combines to make this really great pla y
true type of western drama, depicting
the land of cattle ranges and its deni-
zens in a way that makes one feel the
call of the wild and one sees the curtain
descend on the last act with feeling
that it has been an evening we'll spent.
A cowboy band gives band concerts
twice daily and advanced vaudeville acts
are Civen between the acts.

cozy firesldes last Friday night in re-
sponse to an alarm sent in from the
home of John Perry at the lower vii

serious fire was only averted by their
quick arrival.

GIVES WARNING

This seems to be proper time OF
ear to say st few words with re
gard to nuisances in so far as they effect
the public health. Nuisances are divid
ed into two classes, public nuiSances and
private nuisances. The health officer
has to deal with both classes, and he
must decide whether the case is one
that will justify legal proceedings or
whether the complaint is the result of
quarrel among neighbors, who perfer to
have their disputes settled through the
medium of the health officer.
This is the time Of year when as
nuisances should be disposed of and not
wait for your neighbors to enter COM
plants to the board of health. Each
family should see that their own lawn
and backyard are thoroughly cleaned up
and that there is no animal or vegetable
matter left on tue surface of the ground
so that no disease germs can breed IN
these places aud become a source of dis
ease to themselves and their neighbors
The fly nuisance is one that should
receive some attention immediately
Manure piles are the best breeding place
for flies and they should be abolished OF
kept tightly screened. Dry closets
should be cleaned thoroughly and often
and protected from flies as this is fire.

Court Convenes
At Guildhall

The April term of the Essex County
Court convened Tuesday at Guildhall
with Hon. w. H. Taylor of Hardwick,
as presiding, judge. The docket lie the
smallest it has been for years, only three
cases being set for the jury, and,,fve for
the court. Upon the call of the docket,
two cases only, remain for trial by jury
and no cases probably, remain for hear.
ing by the court.
In the afternoon the court charged the
Grand Jury and they imm ediately CON-
menced work and on Wednesday after
noon they returned true bill. We.
understand that the Town of Victory
was indicted for neglect to repair its
highways. The Grand Jury was then
discharged.
After charging the petit jury, jury
was impaneled for the case of Mrs. Eu-
gene Stone VS.. Edwin Green. This case
involves the title to certain live stock.
The criminal work of the term is said
to be very slight and its doubtful if the
court remains in session after the pre-
sent week
Those serving on the Grand Jury
from Brighton were John Gerrish,
Geo. L. Dyer and Frank Paquette.
