There are instances Of almost

in the pulpit or out of it, and he
has the moral courage to stamp it
such without consulting public senti-

BROTHER SCARBOROUGH OF
THE LIBERATOR, SPEAKS
RIGHT OUT ON THE
WATSON CASE.
WATSON CASE,

On the Goth of the present month,
Hon. Thos. E. Watson is to be placed
on trial in Augusta, Ca, on an in
dictment secured in grand jury
dominated by Romanists, for "send-
ing obscene matter through the
mails" the said obscene matter be-
ing reprint in Latin of the obscene
questions priests are required to ask
women in the secret confessional, as
contained in Liquors. Theology, the
standard theological work of the
ROmish hierarchy. In other words
those questions are so obscene, so
absolutely nasty, that citizen is to
be prosecuted for telling it, even in
Latin. and mailing it.
Mr.. Watson has taken this seven
headed, ten-horned Romish beast by
all it's horns and the conflict is as far
ahead of the Gladiatorial conflicts in
the Colosseum Of old Rome, as a
bull-fight is ahead of a side-show.
Behind this prosecution is the K
of c., headed by Anthony Matre, an
Italian DagO Of St. Louis, who has
come over to America to engage in
the service of the Pope in institut-
ing boycotts and prosecutions
against good Americans for telling
the truth on Rome.
This is a pretty kettle of fish for
Americans to contemplate to be
sure! The constitution of the Uni
ted States guarantees free press and
speech, but Rome proposes to make
an exception in favor of this bastard
ly and lecherOus system which de-
mands immunity from expose. In
stead Of instituting a prosecution
against the lecherous devils who ask
the Infamous questions and protect
ing the virtue of American woman
hood, the Sir Knights propose to
protect their deVilish business be-
hind the laws against obscene mat
ter and punish American citizens
for publishing the truth on them.
Watson declares he will fight them
to the last ditch, the last dollar and
the last day of his life. Hurrah for
Thos. E. Watson and a free press!
out upon this foreign exotic from
the Dark Ages which proposes to
force it's diabolical and lecherous
practices on American womanhood!

AN ADVOCATE OF FREE-SPEECH

The Editor of Flowers Magazine

it is to be denied the privilege of

some wrongs that were being perpe-

A Woman S
Thoughts
By DOROTHY DIX.

NJ A@ spa,' VANITY IS "'"'".' '''''-
There are women who have
all the virtues and none of the amen
tiles of life.
The one compensation Of poverty IS
the line that 1t gives YOU on your
friends
The truth about her age lies at the
roots Of a wuuan's hair.
The soft-hearted woman is the
worlds pincushion.
LONELINESS IN woman is the first
aid TO virtue.
No women are so self righteous as
those who have never been tempted.
When a woman wishes to give an
other woman a cat scratch she says
How well you are looking. You
must have gained ten pounds since I
saw you last"
The wife and mother who is indis-
pensable to her family has yet to be
born
There are two secrets that every
woman can keep-her age. and what
bait she used in catching her hus-
band
The most valuable talent that any
woman can possess Is to be born with
the ability TO weep without getting
her nose red
A woman loves a man for what he
is. A man loves "A woman for what
he imagines her to be
Many woman asks her husband
for the bread Of love, and he gives a
tombstone.
Only fools laugh at tho spectacle OF
a woman Coddling and kissing a dog
or canary bird. The wise weep over
the poverty of a heart that has moth
ing better on which to expend itself.
The difference between a child that
is an imp and one who has a wonder
full, inquiring mind is the difference
between mine and thine.
Nature has not given every old hen
the brains TO understand the swan
she has Matched out.

Author Etiquette in New York To day"
IN these days of great wealth many
young couples beginning housekeep-
n ing think themselves very forUu-
nate in having homes made ready for
them They step into a perfectly APP
pointed house, given to them by indul-
gent parents, or an apartment complete
~ and richly furnished. No wish seems
ungratified There is little to do but
to arrange the splendid accumulation of
wedding presents and set them forth to
the best advantage and to start the
wheels running in a household where
there need be no consideration as to ex-
pense.
Il is a question whether there is as
much true pleasure and satisfaction for
these richly favored persons as for those
whose pathway is the happy one be-
tween wealth and poverty.
The young married woman who finds
little else to do but visit, shop, amuse
herself. practice her music a little, read
a little, and motor about very much,
realizes, after a while, that she is just
trffle duh and bored after the first
flush of novelty In arranging her house
keeping is over There seems almost a
surfeit in the rich, luxurious things
provided by the lavish expenditure of
parents and the wedding gifts of friends
