that he was OF the opinion that the

In an interview requested Ct him

of those who wanted higher APP

That is what makes the position

There is certainly need OF economy

which has not been increased for
many years, with the assessment OF
the States property not higher than
formerly, in spite of the universal
rise of prices and with increased ap

Is IL Wise for Us PrOteStants TO
Admit That Roman CathOIi-
ciSHn Is the Only True
ReIigiOn?

NS1aJROn
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE oNE)
This is done by officially attending the
Roman Catholic services, e0ery gear, on
Thanksgiving Day in Washington City
This official celebration takes place under
the auspices of the Pan-American Republics,
in which organization our Government
mee1ly takes the place of papal servitor.
John Barrett is the head of this Pan-Amer-
lean popish program.
John Barrett is a very rank foot-kissing
papist.
John Barrett has made himself most busy
butting into our Chamber-of- Commerce
meetings.
John Barrett is working hand-in-glove with
Cardinal Gibbons and with priest Russell, of
Washington City.
John Barrett succeeded in persuading
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft to officially
attend the Pan-American Thanksgiving in
the Romanist Cathedral, where they might
give official c0etate2l07ace to the iaczass non
sense of changing a rice cake into the body
Of Jesus Christ
The precedent which willy John Barrett
persuaded Roosevelt and Taft to set, is
already urged d8 q laaO, binding our Presi-
dent and his Cabinet, and the Supreme
Court, and as many Congressman as can be
coralled
Therefore, when the Protestant ministers
of Washington at last realized the dangerous
drift Of John Barrett, of Cardinal Gibbons
and his priest Russell, they protested against
tie official attendance Of our President, upon
this popish function
But President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, and the Supreme Judges determined
to ignore the protest.
They cited the precedent Of Roosevelt and
I0ft, as their excuse.
# the presidents of Roosevelt and Taft
were good, why did we elect Wilson and
Bryan?
AS President and as Secretary, Wilson and
Bryan were invited to the popes church, to
partake of Thanksgiving celebration after
the popes manner.
Wilson and Bryan, as individual citizens
were not invited. They were invited as the
official representatives of your Government
AS such, they accepted the invitation
AS such, they bowed and l1neeled when
popish priests changed rice into Gods body!
Could you prevail on John Barrett to enter
a Protestant church? No.
Could you prevail on Gibbons to attend
Protestant worship? No.
Why not?
Because he would thereby recognize
Protestant creed to the extent of admitting
that it as form of Christian religion.
When Protestant agrees to take part in
popish function, in a popish church, he
tacitly admits the soundness of all we'll
known and we'll settled Romanist dogmas
One Of those dOgnaas IS, THAT THE
RONANLST CHURCH IS THE ONLY
True ONE.
What right has President Wilson, or Sec

These Americans, led apparently by Rev.

condemned DR. Shastri in violent language,
but they demanded his resignation from the
official program.
When be declined to abase himself as
requested, they took vote on the question of
striking his name off.
And that Christian Committee voted, 10

votes would have sent the i7egIted guest back
