HIS DEALER WAS AFRAID TO

Lies WOULD BOYCOTT
HIS BUSINESS. !"

Dear Sir: Will you please mail
me sample copy of your Magazine?
My post office, Crichton, is a suburb
OF Mobile, which is so priest ridden
that the news dealers have a boycott
on your Magazine. l tried to get a
Protestant dealer to handle it, and
he said he was afraid the Catholics
would boycott his business. There
are good many Professionals in Mo
bile, but they are too weak kneed to
open their mouths. and just let the
Catholic dalies run things as they
please.

strong fight to have the American
flag placed GA every public school

every public school in Mobile county,

every move we make.

Otherwise, Judge Says, Bible Could
Be Excluded From Mails.

Judge Hand declared in the Uni
ted States District Court yesterday
that book is not indecent or lewd,
within the meaning of the Federal
statute barring such matter from
the mails, unless the intent of the
author is immoral Otherwise, he
held, the Bible, Arabian Nights and
many Of Voltaire's and Shakespeare S
works would come under the Federal
ban
His informal opinion was inspired
by the argument of Attorney John
L. Lockhard, who declared that his
client, Mitchell Kennerly, book pub
Usher of 2 East Twenty-ninth street,
was not guilty Of sending obscene
matter through the mails because
"Hagar Reyelly," the book which
was made the basis of the charge on
which the publisher was arrested on
the complaint of Anthony Comstock,
was written by Daniel Carson Good
man with sincere purpose.
Mr.. Lockhard asked that the in
dictment be dismissed, and Judge
Hand reserved decision on this
point.

ANOTHER PREACHER OBJECTS
TO THE THANKSGIVING
MASS

To the Editor of the Washington
Herald: Answering the reply of the
Rev. William I. Russell to the reso-
luton Of the Protestant ministers
protesting against the official notice
of the Thanksgiving services in st.
Patrick's Church, desire to say that
personally I am sorry that the field
mas was not also included in their
protest.
No matter what the Rev. Russell
may say the fact remains that the
Catholic press and church are MAX
ing as much out Of these two services
as they possibly can to lend empha-
sis to the impression that America is
rapidly becoming Catholic.
Mr.. Russell says he cannot under
stand how ministers of the Gospel
can take exception to the Professionals
attending services in Catholic
church. That he has attended servi-
ces, as he has perfect right to do,
If he wishes, in other churches than
his own. And that he should not be
deprived of enjoying the right of the
poorest American citizen.
[ do not wish to enter into a dis
cussion Of our resolution, but if
Father Russell really believes that
the President has a perfect right to
worship in churches other than his
own, why does the Church of Rome

forbid her subjects to attend services
in Protestant church?
What would the Pope say if one of
the Arch Bishops of Rome would at
tend Thanksgiving services in the
Methodist church in Rome?
What would the Church of Rome
say if Chief Justice White attended
Thanksgiving services in a Presby-
terrain church?
If the Church of Rome has the
right to say where her members shall
worship why has not President Will
sons church the right to say where
he shall worship?

A public Invitation.

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
A year ago, through your courtesy,
| extended to your readers an invi-
tation to attend the Three Hours Pas
sion Service at st. Johns church on
Good Friday. Many christians of
every name ayailed themselves of this
opportunity to mediate upon the
work OF redeeming love exhibited up
on the cross OF Calvary.
1t is my privilege to again an
nounce a similar service tomorrow in
ST. Johns from noon until three
o'clock, and to invite those especially
wiosare members Of the various chris
tan eommunions to join in commem-
/ Grating the sad and awful sacrifice or
Christ, our elder brother. The service
Is most simple and plain, consisting
of familiar hymns, prayers and brief
addresses on the Seven Last Words
from. the cross. Those unable to be,
present through the entire service are
/ Invited to come and go at their con.
venience. II there be any centre of
christian belief, it is at the cross OF
Calvary, and it has always seemed to
I me that christians of all names on the
day of the offering of the Son of
Man for the sins of the world might
well unite in devotion to Him in
whom they believe. Without the death
of Christ His resurrection is mean
lngless; without the observance of
Good Friday Easter can bring no mes
] sage of joy.
Throughout the christian world
Good Friday is observed as day of
abstinence from social pleasures, and
so far as possible, from the ordinary
business of life; in many cities banks
close, theatres are darkened, schools
are dismissed, because the christian
consciousness of the community brings
a,desire to observe an anniversary
which means SO much for humanity.
President; Wilson has this holy week
declined all social engagements, both
from a sense of personal reverence
and a recognition of the feelings Of
the christian people of this land.
Can not the christian people of
keokuk express likewise by the OBJ
servance of Good Friday the faith they
have In the elder brothers sacrifice?
