MENAcE's case, and for several months they beat
the air in merriment in the belief that they had
found the scheme and that the politicians were
afraid not to fall for their bait. But they were
destined to come to grief.
The MENACE Army again got on the works
and gave the congressman and senators to under
stand that THE MENACE was ono paper that they
were determined TO see stay in the ring, and as a
result many Of them were forced TO the extremity
of adding extra secretaries 10 take care Of their
correspondence. The politicians put their ears to
the ground and heard low, rumbling sound from
the forks of the creek-and no law, such as Rome
desired, was passed.
The plan now, according to Catholic author
ity, is TO bury THE MENACE under an avalanche
of lawsuits and Dust" the company with court
costs, but they don't seem To get the wires suiic-
emily uncrossed to set the ball rolling.
At any rate a million Of the best men on the
American continent would be equal to any emer-
gency, and we dare the papal gang to do their
worst.
The rum-soaked Catholic priests of the coun-
try may be able TO chop 70 giblets the bodies Of
the uususpecting women whom they have raped
and ruined, and bespatter the walls of their monk
cries and nunneries with the brains of their own
iegitmate infants, but they haven't got the cour-
age TO tackle THE MENACE buzz-saw when a million
volts of mental electricity arc playing on the wires
from the batteries on the Firing Line
THE MENACE throws down the gauntlet to
Bone and serves notice on her here and now that
America is not big enough TO contain the fighting
machine at our command and her system Of slav-
cry and tyranny at the same time for very long,
and that We do not propose hereafter TO either ask
OF grant quarter
We believe that the American people have
enough of Rome and things Roman, and we are
as firm in the belief today, as we were when tho
paper was first launched, that the Roman Catho-
lie political machine is a curse, and that those who
support it should either ne forced to quit il or be
kicked OF the continent, bag and baggage.

drawn 10 Its standard the unqualified support Of
that class Of men and women who carry the torch
Of liberty and progress in every age-men and
women who arc willing to fight TO preserve to pos
teriy the inestimabe privileges Of liberty and
freedom.
With a steadfast purpose Of beneftting the
human race we have appealed to patriotic people
week in and week out, with the best language at
our command, TO get on the Firing Line for God
and home and native land-lnd they have heard
and hardened to these appeals.
We have shouted from the house-tops the dan
ger TO this republic, and a sleeping people have
become wondrously aroused, and have acknowl-
edged our shouts with a magnificent response.
And this response is a most eloquent corrob-
Grafton Of the beliefs, principles and policies
which have made THE MENACE the widest circu-
lated, the most dearly beloved as well as the most
feared and hated publication on the face of the
globe.
When THE MENACE first appeared, il was
treated with silent contempt by the Catholic
press, and priests and preates mstaking the pres
eut patriotic sentiment for a revival of what they
are pleased to call A. p. A. ism, said that it was
a tempest in a teapot and would soon blow over.
When it failed to elbow over" as they had
predicted, they instituted a campaign Of slander
and abuse that would put the chief liar Of perdi-
ton to shame, but THE Menace Army investigated
the character Of tho men behind the paper and
rallied to their support with renewed vigor.

Columbus, the Fighting right arm of the Catholic

have the paper squelched at the fountain head by
having It excluded from the mails-but their et-
forts failed, and the men on the Firing Line an
swered the challenge with an avalanche Of sub
scriptions that gave the "Nites" Jolt from which
they have not yet recovered.
When it was discovered that the postal laws
were not elastic enough for the purpose Of the

iieve that Providence had sent few men into tho

As a result Of this condition we SEQ amasscd

and who are responsible for this condition, are
the men who compose the Roman Catholic hier-

These so-called ''hoy" Catholic priests are
the ecclesiastical pill rollers who compound pre-
