sign the solemn covenant of the Ulster
men. bidding them ito use all the
means that may be found necessary to
defeat the present conspiracy to set up
home rule in Ireland and also to re-
fuse TO recognize the authority Of the
proposed Irish parliament.
SIGNING OF COVENANT
The scene around Ulster hall when
Sir Edward Carson proceeded to sign
the covenant was a remarkable one.
The approach to the hall was lined by
a bodyguard OF men wearing sashes
and armlets and carrying wooden
slaves. Other men were posted about
the grounds of the hall much rs
though they expected an attack from
the Nationalist. who. however, thus
far stood by as much pleased with the
semimilitary display as the Ulstermen
themselves.
In the center Of the marble pillared
yestibule of the hall stood a table COW
cred with crimson and draped with the
union jack. while in the corridors
were long lines of wooden desks where
copies of the covenant had been placed
for signature.
Many women signed a declaration
associating themselves with the men
of Ulster in 'uncompromising opposi-
ton to the home rule bill"
Mr.. Asquith's bill is considered very
generous and liberal by the Irish Ma
tionalists. 1t is in several respects a
marked improvement ON the Glad.

suit of experience, reflection and dis
cussion.

Industrially and financially we
are being robbed, red handed. The
Romish church is constantly begging
Of, and at the same time quietly boy
cotting, non-Catholics everywhere
and insistently demanding greater
appropriations from public funds for
the support of its thoroughly COM
mercialized reform { p schools, hos
pitals, orphan asylums and other
charitable (?) institutions, and all
the while looking with thievish eyes
on the public school fund.
Non-Catholics are not only being
boycotted in business and robbed of
tax money, secretly used by Roman
Catholics in Office, but the begging
nuns are continually pestering and
brow-beating everyone in the name OF
charity and practically, If not actu-
ally, threatening business men every
where with loss Of patronage If they
refuse to donate to this grasp
ing, pOwer-loving, religio-pOlitical
machine.
Non-Catholices should not only
refuse the donations demanded, but
should unitedly infist that this con-
temptible form of begging be stopped
by law. The nuns themselves and
the priests who urge them on, hav-
ing little or no sense Of decency OF
justice can not be expected to desist
until prevented by law. Begging is
a thoroughly organized business

these institutions in carrying out
their avowed purpose Of making
America Roman Catholic, and in do
ing it, to subyert all free institutions
and smother liberty in its foul en-
brace as it always has done, is doing
now, and ever will do because it
thrives best in ignorance.
Morally we are being robbed. The
Bible is driven from the public
schools, and even lessons in morals
are objected to so as to enable Glib
bons and his dupes to cry: "The. pub
lie schools are goddess !" while we as
Protestants know that parochial
schools are the moral pest-holes of
our cities and towns. No loyal cit
izen can come from them for the
priests will is his will, and his en-
tire allegiance, religious and polit-
ical, is to the man-made god in
Rome.
The moral stamina Of the whole
people is being severely taxed to re-
sist the immoral infection from these
parochial schools, and this poison,
together with the ever-inereasing
contaminating floods Of moral de-
generates Of the same faith we are
constantly getting from southern
