Need Of a Protestant Press

From the Carolina EvanEeL
Owing TO the great wealth OF the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. the Asso-
ciated Press Of the United States is
under Catholic control. In every con.
ceivable manner the daily papers
through the Associated Press advertise
the pope and Roman Catholicism. The
Roman hierarchy has a body OF men
whose business is 10 keep Roman
Catholicism constantly before the peo-
pie OF the United States in the daily
press and they have all our great dali
les trained 20 put In big head lines IN
the most conspicuous places every
thing concerning the pope and all
meetings Of every kind held by Cath
olic bishops In the United States. So
much more prominence 10 given by the
daily press to everything Catholic than
to Protestant doings that a stranger
visiting America would take Il for
granted that the Catholic church is the
state church In this country.
Why Is Il that everything Catholic is
thus constantly Haunted before the
eyes Of Protestant American Il Is n

stantly advertise Catholicism and mag.

Of their dOlngs as to dlsarm the people

norant OF the bloody history and ty-
rannical nature OF the Roman church.
This unpardonhble action Of the As

vertising Catholicism before their
Protestant readers Is accounted for
by the powers OF money on the part OF
the Catholic hierarchy on the one

As this issue of the MENACE goes
to press MONDAY morning, May
26th) the owners of the paper are
leaving. for Joplin to attend court,
where w. F. Phelps and /. W.
Schweitzer are defendants in a one
hundred thousand dollar damage
suit.
The suit was brought by Peter E.
Burress, of Joplin, and is based on
an article published in the MENACE
July "a, 1912, in which Mr.. Burress
was charged with being a Roman
Catholic, and which charge, accord
ing to his petition, exposed him to
"public hatred, contempt and ridi-
cule," and defeated him for the
democratic nomination for sheriff
of Jasper county before the demo-
cratic primary election held last
August.
1t should be remembered that Mr..
Schweitzer is in no way connected
with the MENACE, as the prosecution
in the case would indicate, but is
with being active in the mat
ter of distributing the issue of the
paper containing the article to
which the plaintiff objects.

case where the fundamental prin-

On the other hand, if it is a dis

the sooner the people know it the
better.
If Catholieismeis so corrupt that
the light Of publicity brings her to

The Church, as n corporation. could
