THE ROMAN CATHOLICS ARE
PLEASED At THEIR PRO
GRESS IN THE SOTTTH.

Dear Mr.. watson: In the Christ
mas issue of the Catholic Chronicle,
a weekly Catholic newspaper of
Erie, Pennsylvania, appears this
note in the editorial column from
the pen of Rev. Bernard Haas, a
project in some Catholic Institution
in Savannah, Ga.
Down here we are still in the
throes OF a secret A. P. A. struggle,
and while We have succeeded in
placing our case in such a light that
the better class of Southerners are
friendly, whole lot Of North Caro-
lima 'tar-heels' and Georgia and
Florida 'crackers,' poor, ignorant
people, still think the Pope wants to
be President of the United States,
etc, etc.
However, the Church is making
great progress, and Watson and his
ilk get a hearing from the lower
classes only"
Erie is quaker city of $4,000,
about 60 per cent of which are
Catholics. Three daily papers, all
controlled by the Catholics, and vie
with each other in reporting Catholic
doings, are published. Not an indie
pendent paper in the city regularly
published. Catholic priests drink
heavily here, no one pretends to de-
ny it. Some of my friends tell me a
Catholic Country Club near here
looks more like a harbor for saloon
keepers, than Of men of God meet
ing for recreation. Protestant
preachers here in the main are
lulled, and none dare speak out. No
one even pretends here that the
average of Catholicism, is even half
way respectable. Four brothers, l
hear, are priests of one church, and
they have about two autos each, and
such times as they are reported to
have!
Would I were able to help you
fight your case in the Georgia courts.
Even the court knows it's personal
persecution, and l don't believe the
people Of Georgia will tolerate even
a Federal judge Furnishing distin-
guished Georgia citizen on such
charges. Judge Speer has always so
far as l know had good record as
judge, and I believe he will not so
far forget our free institutions as to
tolerate your being punished. At

Dear Sir and Friend [ read of

indecent questions propounded in
that cesspOol of filth, the degrading
Confessional Box. l, for one, would
be ready and willing to swear, at
any time and place, to the awful. de-
grading questions that were pro-
pounded to me in the Confessional
Box. II possible get several con-
Verted Roman Catholics, both men
and women as witnesses, who have
been to Confession and who have
made a general confession, especial
ly during the Retreat, conducted by
these old bachelors, called holy
friars. Have them interrogated as
to the questions propounded to them
by the Jesuits, Franciscans, Domi-
means, LaZarists and Passionists,
Order of Monks. If you can get these
things before the jury, and can get
that sly old fox Gibbons, of Balti-

Presiding Judge Cullen held that the
offenses charged in articles / and
were not Improbable and that the
governor neither falsified his state
ment under the provisions of the cleo
ton law nor committed legal perjury"
The rule here contended for" he
said, amounts in reality to an ex

atty when committed, without afford
ing an opportunity to show either re-
pentance or atonement. Men have
committed serious crimes, even felon-
les, and subsequently attained high

court explained his vote on article 1,
although those who voted in favor of
the governor did not enter at length
into a discussion of the merits of the
case or of the matters of law and
