ask you, Gentlemen, to come to their
assistance by excluding those Catho-
lie papers from the mails? No
Do the advocates of our public
schools ask you to suppress those
Catholic papers that assail them?
No. Do those patriotic Editors that
you are asked to silence, and put out
OF business, ask you to suppress those
Catholic papers that assault them,
and say, Ito hell with the Americans
overnment, ask you to refuse them
the use of the mails? No. Why?
Because they believe in freedom of
speech and press, which Rome has
always opposed, and the fact that she
is calling on you to assist her is
ample proof that she is unable to
meet the charges made against her,
and that her only hope is to have
those papers silenced.
If Rome cannot meet the charges
made against her, and sustain her
religious integrity and right to
citizenship in the United States,
without sacrificing the rights of S5,-
100000 of American citizens, let her
pull up and hike for Rome where she
can have the personal protection of
her 'holy'' pap, without intruding
upon the rights Of honest, patriotic
American citizens.

matter serious and impartial con-
sideration, l subscribe myself an I'M

freedom. w. T. FLOWERS

on our desk, and the follow
ing hot shot is taken from it:
An Open Letter to President Wilson,
Attorney-General McReynoIds and
Postmaster-G General BurIeson-
Washington, ID. G.
Honorable Gentlemen:
According to newspaper reports
there is a strong effort being made
by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy to
suppress free speech and free press
in the United States, and it is the
purpose of this letter addressed to
you to call your attention to some
things which | hope you will consider
along with the appeal made to you
by the Catholic Hierarchy to exclude
from the United States mails those
papers which, by the right secured
to them under the laws and consti-
tuition of our Government to criticise
and expose the political features and
workings of that order.
What right, Gentlemen, has the
church Of Rome to ask you to sup
press and exclude from the mails
those newspapers and magazines
that criticize and expose Rome's
political intrigant design to capture
this country and turn it over to a
foreign potentate in the name of re-
ligion, when, at the same time her
own newspapers and magazines at
tack, criticisa and heap vituperations
upon our institutions, fraternal Or
ders and religious societies, and use
the United States mail service for
that purpose?
Not only that, but those Catholic
papers charge that every husband
and wife, not married by a Catholic
priest, are living in concubinage.
They say that the estate has abso-
lutely no jurisdiction over the bond
of marriage. The bond of Christian
marriage is exclusively within the
jurisdiction of the Catholic church.
They further contend that Church
and State should be united. The Ro-
man Catholic religion should be the
only religion of the State and all
other modes of worship should be ex-
cluded."
They say, ''The public schools of
this country are sinks of moral po-
luton and nurseries of hell.
The public schools have produced
nothing but a goddess generation of
thieves and blackguardS.
Roman Catholic newspapers and
= magazines have access to our mail
service in advertising their purga-
torial grating system which cost the
people of the United States $40, 000,-
600 annually, and no protest made
against them by trying to have those
papers suppressed and excluded from
the mails.
The United States mail service is
being used by Catholic institutions
for the purpose of alluring young
girls away from their homes into
Catholic converts where they are
held as prisoners in the name of re-
ligion, but no effort is being made by
any one to have those papers sup
pressed.
Here are some of the charges
which are openly made, and circu
lated through the mails against the
Masonic Fraternity;
'There is no Cd"
"There is no moral law"
"The Christian religion is super
stition."
"The Supreme Being, whom we
love and worship, is Lucifer"
"The only God that rules this
world is our master, Lucifer."
Christianity has slandered and
prosecuted our master, whom it calls
the devil"

suicide.
Lawrence left his home on the af-
ternoon of Tuesday, the 9th, taking
with him his double barre1ed shotgun
with cartridge in each barrel. At
the time of his departure he said
nothing, and those who saw him leave
thought he was going out to hunt
doves. In the evening he did not
return but still the family was not
ably spending the night with a neigh
Dor. He had said something about
staying away. But after a lapse OF
three days members Of the family be
came anxious and a systematic search
was instituted. After hunting the
district for over six days, Austin and
Hoyt Medlar noticed buzzards in q
tree at point about half way be
tween the Medlar and Braddocl
ranches at the upper emu OF the lake
/ on Salt River. Going to the spot they
found Lawrence upon the ground with
his shotgun by his side, and the right
of his head showed where a charge
! of shot from the gun had plowed its
way. One of the cartridges in the
gun had been discharged Deatf
had probably taken place about nine
days previous.
1t is said that Lawrence frequently
talked of suicide, but members of the
family did not believe he would carry
out his threat The cause for hi'
killing himself is not known, although
he was reputed to be subject to mel
