What Pittsburgh Has Done.

Not long ago the patriotic people OF
Pittsburgh, Pa. banded themselves to-
yether for political purposes and as
result. at the recent primaries, practi-
cally every man they endorsed was
nominated for office. And they will be
elected in November.
What Pittsburgh has done other
towns and cities can do also.
Pittsburgh realized that The Menace
was a national propaganda paper and
could not handle the local situation
n the various localities. To do this
would require a daily paper, and one
many times the size OF The Menace.
Realizing this, they got busy with cir
culars. posters and local publications,
and In the path Of the tremendous
awakening caused by The Menace
they accomplished results that we're
surprises TO themselves, much less
20 the enemy.
The work at Pittsburgh should be
an example for our friends TO follow
in all other localities. The Menace
will blaze the way. il will do the plo-
neer work and wake the people up.
then it's up TO the local fellows TO
get busy and put on the campaign.
II seem TO be a mystery 90 many Of
our friends why We do not dip into
cal politics and fight their battles
for them. A moments study should
convince them that this would be lm-
possible. A campaign In San Fran
cisco concerns the people In that city,
but Il does not interest the people Of
Boston. Our feld Is the entire nation.
and our work cannot be changed and
meet with the success that Il Is meet
ing with under the present policy.
The mission Of The Menace Is TO
turn on the light In all quarters, and
we believe you win admit that we are
artists In our line. but we cannot fight
your local battles: you must do that
yourselves. The local printers In
your community are in business for
money, and they are always willing
70 print your matter. Get busy with
the hand bill and letter campaign,
and with The Menace TO pave the
way you will be surprised at results.
We know no political party or politi-
cal lines: we are out for the scalp OF
any man who hangs 10 the Roman
Catholic political machine. REGARDLESS
Of his politics or religion, and with
your assistance We will be able TO sc
II in practically every Instance.

Church and State, Not State
Church.

Archbishop Prendergast has appoint
ed Priest Keogh chaplain at the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania. The press
dispatch informs us that the move.
ment "is in obedience to an edict Is
sued by Pope Plus X"
This whole chaplain business Is a
partial recognition Of the doctrine OF
state church. The Jesuit moves
carefully-serpent like. II he can't
get a direct recognition of the Roman
Catholic church he secures Il by In.
direction. They secured a chaplain
'or West Point where students are ed.
ucated for officers Of the army. Then,
they secured public grounds for a
chapel. BY this means the church is
nationally recognized and public
grounds and public money appropriat-
cd for sectarian purposes contrary to
aw and, as we see II, from history and
present day experience, the most dis.
loyal, bllshtina and liberty destroying
zect known 10 the world.
OF course, the great publicity given
20 this appointment is to prepare the
public mind 10 receive the priest, and
give him place and prestige at the
university. Just 20 make II appear
hat this law OF the pope is binding
on the regents OF Pennsylvania. Let
every institution, especially state insti-
tutions, draw line over which the
Beast Of Rome must not go. Exclude
IL because II Is a political vampire
working against public education. The
papacy does not approve Of state edu-
cation. why then recognize in any Of
icial way priest or teacher. who holds
such opinions and especially when
acting under tho orders and direction
OF foreign prince? Keep these enc
mics OF state education out Of con-
tact with students and university
training. Let people be religious, go
70 mass or to prayer meeting II they
like, but for Gods sake. for human.
itys sake. refuse recognition TO the
enemies Of public education. This ap-
plies to all faiths and no faiths. When
a man opposes state education, by the
state, that is reason enough why he
should neither be a teacher, superin-
tendent, regent or chaplain. Keep
the fox out Of the hen roost, no mat
ter how meek or holy or loyal be may
appear. He is there to destroy the
chickens and advance his own selfish
interests. This Is not a question Of
religion. but OF common business
wisdom in the highest interest OF true
American citizenship. Make the Is
sue clean cut and without a quibble.
Enemies Of the school must be kept
out Let school ofhcials do their duty.
