Not the Priest So Much AS the
ROmaniSt System, Murdered
This Woman.


A young woman had been murdered, and
the body cut up. Her trunk was found in one
place, her head in another, her legs in
another, her arms in another
The corpse had been scattered in the Hud-
son river, the different parts being found at
different times in different places, by differ
ent people.
It now turns out that she was killed by
a young priest, Hans Schmidt, who made a
full confession after the crime had been
traced right up to hdno.
He had kept his hideous secret nearly two
weeks, during which time the girls bloody
remnants were floating in the water, while
her seducer and murderer was officiating as
priest miraculously changing bread into
God, and doing the other Romanist stunts
Anna Aumiller was the name of the
priests victim. She was beautiful girl, a
German, born in the old country and taught
that priest could not sin. Therefore, when
Schmidt told her that he could marry hina-
self to her, qoith0ut witnesses, she believed
him, and became his "wife."
But he knew better. of course. and when
their relation to each other was about to
produce a child, and therefore "a scandal"
he deliberately made up his mind to cut her
throat.
He walked her up, out of her peaceful,
innocent sleep, and told her he was going to
kill her. He had butcher knife in his hand
at the time.
He seized her by the hair of the head with
one hand, and drew the knife across her soft,
white throat with the other.
And then, while her young body was still
warm and quivering, he began to saw and
cut it up!
To save himself and his church from a
scandal, he put to death lovely girl to
whom he was devotedly attached and the
unborn babe that should have blessed law
full marriage.
The worst Of it all is, that the Rom0nist
system, rather than the distracted John
Smith, IS responsible!
That system denies the priest the right to
legitimately love and marry and have Off
spring Why? Because the Popes, crazy for
power, dominion and wealth, need q Sozdie7y
that as c04hsecrated to themselves alone.
Wives divide affection and service: the
home and the children in it. claim part of
mans heart and work.
The POpes must have servants of undi-
vided allegiance and service-priests who
are forbidden to have wives, children and
homes.
God never made such an ordinance. The
Creator never put such stigma upon mat
rimony.
The priests of Israel married and begot
children. They not only had to be men, but
perfect men.
The priests among the Christians married
Peter himself was marred-and the New
Testament advises the priests to marry, even
Paul the woman-hater, counselling thereto
For hundreds of years, no bishops dreamed
of aping the Pontifex Maximus of the
Romans.
During those early ages, the priests took

achieve the spiritual dominion of the world,
for the glory of the Pope and the hierarchy.
It was hundreds of years after Christ, that
Rome established celibacy.
Priests were ordered to put away their
wives. Some obeyed, some refused. There
was period of violent dissatisfaction, with
many outbreaks of rebellion; finally the
Popes were victorious.
But the tacit understanding was, that the
converts were always to be open to the
priests!
The laws of nature could not be repealed.
Everybody knew what sort of animals men
are. Those that are not deprived Of their
manhood by surgical operation, must haze
access to women.
Nobody but a fool ever denied that propo-
sition.
The books are full of the evidences Of
what the priests and the nuns did in the
converts. The councils of the Roman church
itself, are full of the scandal. Time and
again, the skeleton in the closet has been
revealed.
Priests who quit the church have uncov-
cred it. Nuns who made their escape have
uncovered it. Monks who never quilted the
church denounced it. Nuns who could not
escape. denounced it.
Popes kept their women in the papal
palace; and the popes bastards we're as we'll
known as were those of such immoral Kings
as Francis l., Charles v, Henry ~, Charles
H., and Louis XIV.
Just as the popes kept their concubines,
the priests kept theirs.
Pope Plus TX, of recent holy memory, had
his bastard daughters.
Cardinal Antonelll, who ruled Pope Plus,
had has bastards.
And while Pope Plus and Cardinal Anto-
nelli were debauching women in Rome, Cana
dian priests were debauching the women in
Maria Monks convent English priests were
debauching women In Margaret Shepherds
convent, and other priests were debauching
other women in other converts, throughout
the stupid qo0rzd q0hdcb 0ZzoacS these clerical
rams to I7ecarcerate their a07aite eaUes
BY the law of God, Hans Schmidt was
entitled to we'd the woman he loved. That
she truly loved HIM, she proved, as so many
millions of pure, selfdenying girls prove their
love for men.
About to become mother; perhaps pic
turing to herself the baby she would hold in
her arms. Groom over in her song, feast upon
with her eyes, kiss with mothers rapture;
and see herself and her lover live again in
the opening of this little human fower,-she
wakes from mothers dream, to face
murderer's knife, and to die a swift, cruel
death-WHY?
Because this horrible Roman Catholic sys-
tenn teaches, that woman brought sin into the
world, that marriage is too unclean for
priest, that the secret concuDinage and it's
incidents of murder and infanticlue are bet
ter than the lawful wedlock of the "holy ones
of God"

ROBINSON IN RACE
 FOR U. 5. SENATOR
Is Willing For State fo do With out Governor if he Can Secure
 Seat in Senate

Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson has announced himself a candi- date for United States senator to succeed Senator Jeff Davis, who was chosen by the people for cleo ton by the legislature to new term beginning March 1, 1913.
 In announcing for senator, Mir Robinson shows that he has very little regard or respect for the wishes of the people or the inter- ests of the state.
 Before the election, Mir. Robin sons chief campaign argument was that Arkansas needed a gov ernor. He declared that the state was in a bad way and was on the road to financial and political ruin, and the only way to save 1t was to elect him governor. The people elected him. He now sees an oppor- tunity to get a higher office, with a longer term and larger salary. h. stead of holding sacred the trust reposed in him by the people, he flings to the wind the interests of the state and seeks rather to grati- fy hisown personal ambitions than to serve the interests of the people whom he was so anxious to serve and save only few short months ago. MT. Robinson's patriotism and sense of honor is indeed very elastic. In thus showing his will ingness to abandon the governors office, almost before he becomes acquainted with conditions in that office, he proves exclusively that he holds public office to be pri- vate snap instead of a public trust, for if he goes to the senate, in ad- dition to the probability of some very unworthy man being chosen as governor, the state will again be thrown into political turmoil and will necessarily incur quite a little expense in holding a special election to choose his successor.

MAGNESS FIRM SHIP
 SUIT TO AUSTRALIA
Ship Clothes to Young Man on
 Opposite Side of the World

Lonnie Spears, a young man who was reared at Magness, has become quite globe-trotter, and is now in Broken Hill, N. S. W. Australia. Since leaving Magness two years ago, he has been nearly all over England, France, Russia, parts of Africa, and is now in Australia. However, he has not forgotten the old home and old friends, as is shown by the fact that just short time ago he sent a money order to A. F. Miller & Co.,, of Magness, and ordered a suit of clothes shipped to him in Australia. This is probably the first time on record where an Independence county firm shipped goods to Australia.
