BAPTIST CHURCH ATTACKED BY
ROMAN CATHOLICS,

Carbonate, Pa, Nov. 8.-Tntense
excitement prevailed here today fol-
lowing an attack upon the Berean
Baptist Church, where Robert Will
son, the Scranton private detective
who unearthed the Pittsburg council
manic graft, was scheduled to make
an anti-Catholic address.
Two thousand men and boys
stormed the church smashing all the
windows and tearing off the doors.
Ten men in the audience were badly
beaten. The police and deputy sher-
ifs rushed to the scene as the mob
threatened to kill Wilson if he was
caught during the rioting.
What right did these Roman
Catholics have TO ATTACK 4
BAPTIST CHURCH?
Suppose a mob of Protestants
should be excited by Protestant
preachers to attack a Catholic
church, smash its windows, tear
off the doors and beat the men in
the congregation!
You would never hear the last
of it. Rome would howl "bigot-
ry,' persecution" and ''religious
war;" until your ears ached.
But here, in free America,
Baptist congregation, assemblies
in Baptist church, to hear a lee
ture inside the sacred building,
and the Pope's crowd makes y
ri0tous and murderous attack on
the church, threatening to kill
the speaker.
That's the very same spirit
which led the pope's fanatics to
murder so many thousands of
Protestants, in France, in Hol-
land, in Italy, in Germany, in
Ireland and in Spain.
It's coming The Pope means
to "KAKE AMERICA CATH
OLIC"
In the name of Freedom, or re-
ligious liberty and true Christi
anity, WIEN will our Protest
ant preachers wake up to THE
MURDEROUS PLANS OF

FLEES CONVENT IN BOYS
CLOTHES.
1S-Year-Old Great Granddaughter
OF an Illinois Governor Mystic
fiously VaMisheS.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-The
mystery of the disappearance of Miss
Bm1line Thomas, 16, the great
granddaughter of former Gov. Bis
sell of Illinois had not cleared today
after day Of untiring search by po-
lice and relatives.
Sac left the Ursuline convent and
academy last Saturday, had her hair
cut short, is believed to have donned
boys clothing and to have fed.
The most mysterious fact about
the case is the lack of motive.
The police have found none. If the
sisters of the convent have one, they
will not divulge it.
The police say the convent au-
thorities are not willing to give the
facts of the girls life previous to
u1scs disappearance and that for that
are sadly hampered.

read our title clear. The Jefer-
sonlan hasn't hushed up, yet.

A press dispatch announces
that 10 Jesuits, appointed by the
Pope, at the request of our Gov
eminent, are now on their way to
the Philippine Islands to convert
the natives.
Why did this Democratic adj
mlnlstratlon ask the Pope to send
Jesuit missionaries to the Islands?
Why is our Government get
ting into such close alliance with
the Pope?
What has our Government got
to do, as q government, with
churches and denominations,
Popc3, cardinals and priests?
Will Alexander Alderman, Dis
trlct Attorney, try to have the Sa-
vannah NeeOs indicted for send
ing obscene literature through the
mails?
[ find this awful item in that
most well-behaved paper:
The second person convicted Of
sodomy in the Superior Court here
in five years was found guilty by
jury yesterday. He is Ben Smith.
Judge Charlton sentenced him to
life imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. The punishment is fixed by
law and is not left in the discretion
of the court.
Smith nervously heard the verdict
of the jury. When asked if there
was anything he had to say he said:

This man was accused of an OBJ
scene crime, defined in obscene
language, and explained in all
the Encyclopedias, Unabridged
dictionaries, and sufficiently indi-
Gated in the Bible.
The evidence on which he was
convicted had to be obscene. The
indictment had to be obscene.
The learned District Attorney,
Alexander Alderman, Esquire,
should direct his able eyes toward
the sea-coast where the NeeOS is
debauching mankind in a pecu-
iarly heinous and reckless man

The Chiefs big automobile
contest opened last week. and
already much interest has been
displayed by people all over the
entire county.
A number of nomination
blanks have been filled out and
returned to this office. In
looking over the list it is easily |
seen that the majority of the
Contestants already named are
of a personality sufficiently
strong enough to insure US

three handsome prizes which
The Chief is Offering.
On Saturday. January nth.

coming Saturday. the votes
that are cast will be counted.

number of votes to their credit
at this time.
When this prize is awarded
The Chief will announce the
name of the winner. together
with the names of the other

This special prize of $1,000 is
well worth trying for and it in
no way prevents the winner

counted on Saturday. January
18th. 1913.
Then. again. perhaps the Con-

test. Fill out the blank today.
