the immortal Irish liberator, scornfully
repealed the efforts of the pope and his Ital-
ian cardinals to rule ireland from Rome, the
loyal American Catholics may very easily
pardon me for taking my stand where O'Con-
nell took his.
Gladstone was not more sternly opposed
to popery, than was the Irish nberator.
Lord Acton was a good Catholic, but he
was no papist.
What Is POPERY?
It is the system which seeks to chain the
world to one man, the pope, who is elected in
secret by handful of Italian cardinals-the
italian cardinals having been appointed
beforehand by preceding italian pope.
Thus, a self-perpetuating ring Of Italians,
seek to rule the world, in the name Of Christ.
This ring of Italians claim the right to set
up and pull down kings, emperors and gov
ernments
This Italian ring put its curse upon the
Great Charter of our liberties.
This Italian ring sold England to the Nor
man conquerors, and then sold Ireland to the
Angevin King of England.
This Italian ring made war on learning,
burnt all the ancient books it could lay hands
on, prosecuted the scholars, cursed the scent-
lists, encouraged feudalism and human
slavery degraded Woman, and q0aged BLOODY

This Italian ring is now trying to fasten
its chain on England, and the United States
again, by denouncing our public schools, by
stealing truthful histories out of our public
libraries by encroaching upon our public
revenues and our public lands, by melting
mobs to murder public speakers who expose
the italian ring, and by prosecuting and boy
cottlng those publishers who dare to tell the
truth on the Italian ring.
American Catholics do not know that the
law of popery-the canon 1ao0 Of the popes-
PUTS THE CURSE on those who maintain
that the State should permit freedom Of
Speech freedom of the press, freedom Of
worship, freedom of education, freedom of
self-government.
American Catholics have read so many
denials made by Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ireland and other accomplices Of the
Italian ring, that these denials are believed.

Is the Watson Line o. Attack Dividing the Roman

1T is well known that Italy and France have
I ceased to be popiSh.
One reason why the pope does not stir out
OF his gardens and palace and his immediate
church is, that he knows he will be jeered in
the streets.
To intelligent Italians the pope is a Joke.
He draws money to Rome, from all parts Of
the world, and therefore he is tolerated as
source Of local revenue.
But as to Italy being popish, that ceased
when the heroic Garibaldi smashed the rem
nant of the Papas temporal kingdom and
gave it to Victor Emmanuel, nearly so years
ago.
Likewise in France, pope1y is a thing of
the past. A large percentage of Frenchmen
remain Catholics, because they believe that
Catholicism is the lineaI descendant of Jesus
Christ; but they do not believe in the absurd
claims Of the Pope, and they refuse to obey
the orders of the Italian priests.
But in Great Britain and the United
States, popery has made gigantic strides
because our people did not know popery as
France, Italy and Portugal knew it.
Our Catholics, being so far away from the
popes and from popery, could not under
stand what pope4y is, as distinguished from
Catholicism.
It is one thing to be devout CothoJic: it is
quite another to be blind, slavish papist.
1t has never been my aim to insult any
mans religion. Again and again, [ have
said so. Not line that / ever wrote, not a
word [ ever spoke, bears that construction.
Religion is the personal and private affair of
the individual. 1t is none of my business, and
none of yours, to impose religious faith upon
others. Persuasion, 01ed reason, and e~hor-
totion, AND EXANPLE, ought to be the
great Fvangelists of Christianity.
To this line, I have hewed: to this line [
will always hew the results must be left to
Time and to the Almighty.
But [ have fought the advance of popery,
because popery is hell's worst output, the
devils most artful invention, religions dead
lest foe, civilizations worst obstacle, homoa1o-
itys most cunning and daabozica1 MENACE.
There is no reason why any Catholic
should be footkissing papist.
There is every reason why the American
Catholic should not obey the Italians of
Rome.
If so good Catholic as Daniel O'Connell,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-11-20

But those denaGlS are false!
The written law of the popery of Rome
absolutely declares that the pope is supreme,
the lord of all kings, the master of all gov
ernments; the Saoior, or destroyer, Of all
souls.
THE PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHTS,
UNDER POPERY: the pope is ALL in al, >
on earth, in heaven, in hell. THE POPE IS
TIE JOSEPH WHO TOTES ALk THE
KEYS.
That is papal law; and the priests know
that | can prove it.
And they know that when it is proven, and
the American Catholics get hold of it, pope1Y
will go to smash in the United States, as it
did in Scotland, Britain, France Holland,
Italy, Portugal and North Germany.
AS an evidence that my line of attack on
italian r51sg-ruze and popery is dividing the
American Catholics, your attention is called
to a leading editorial in The Nea0 World,
leading Romanist organ, published in
Chicago.
You will see that The Neoo World finds
fault with another Catholic paper, because
thnt other Catholic paper Is glad I IRON

That other Catholic paper is The Contj-
meroj, and [ am certainly rejoiced to see it
take loyal, American view of my case.
Please read what it says, as quoted by the
disgruntled editor of The NoaO World:

BITTER FIGHT IN NEW YORK.

There is a bitter fight on between
Governor SuIzer of New York and the
Senatorial branch Of the State Legisla.
ture in Albany, That is, Governor Sui
ger in his rampipg around the State,
declaring his independence Of all con-
troll and especially his freedom from
machine influences, has been called
down. The New York Senate is special
ly the machine" body of the Legisla-
ture. In it Mr.. Murphy, the big Tam
many chief, has his full authority as a
rule.
To begin with, the New York Sen
ate has directed its Judiciary committee
to inquire into the statement that Gov.
ernor Sulzer promised before his cleo
tion to sign the 'Efull crew. bill de-
sired by railroad trainmen, the reward
for such promise being, as is supposed,
the support OF his candidacy by mem.
bers of the railroad unions and other
labor organizations. This is a direct
slap in the face 10 Governor Sulzer. If
the committee is actuated by the evil

report Of that committee is pretty sure
to place Governor Sulzer on his de.
Tense
The quarrel between Governor Sulzer
and Senator Stillwell. who has hereto
fore been the Governor g confidential
instrument in the introduction Of bills
affecting the stock exchange and other
matters, has been fomented under
charge of attempted bribery. There.
upon, Governor Sulzer at once deserts
his friend Stillwell. and demands his
resignation. Stillwell dcfiantlv refuses
to resign, and says. as the fact is, that
the Governor has nothing 10 do with the
tenure of his office; that his action is
between himself and his constituents.
and that Senator is just as indepen-
dent in mis- sphere a. the Governor j.
in his executive functions.

is interesting to note that the London

THE INCREASED RATES.

There has been much talk from time
TO time about increased railroad rates
and the elimination of it all has been
an agreement in fixing through rates to

| shippers. the railroads, and the Inter
state Commerce Commission The ship
| pers and the railroad companies first
Commission clincbcs the matter by its
official action. In this the Commission
has been careful to avoid the counter,

which might be construed as an eva
sion of the Federal laws against re-
batting. discrimination, or unlawful com.
bination in restraint Of trade Accord.
ingly. the best results are expected from
the agreements as made, and the ratifi-
cation of the agreements by the Com
mission.
There has been good deal OF con-
troversv over these rates. On the one
hand it has been held that the railroads
were anxious TO put extortionate and
discriminating rates into effect. On the
part Of the railroads it has been OBJ.
jected that tho public sentiment and
the inslstence Of some shippers were
directed to the point Of so reducing
rates that the railroads could not pay
their fixed charges and make any re-.
turns to the stockholders On the part
Of the shippers it has been held that
the rates were eXtortionate. ln a con.
troversy like that, the interposition of
such body as the Interstate Commerce
Commission was of inestimable value.
Public interests could not be allowed to
suffer by reason of wrangles that were
private or that affected merely class
interests. The traffic managers would
at times refuse to confer with shippers
and shippers in place Of undertaking to
come to an agreement with tho rail
road managers, would appeal to the In
terstate Commerce Commission or to
the courts, making long and. costly con-
troversies.
An Improvement in all this has been
managers to confer with shippers and
come TO amicable adjustments upon
rates. In so doing, the railroad man
ayers place their lines at the service Of
tho public, and recognize the public in
tcrest in them, and this change of pol.
icy from the old idea that railroading
was private matter, to be governed
exclusively by those in charge Of the
interests, which is feel
ing that has properly passed away, is
heartily to be commended. And now,
as result of this changed feeling and
of the conferences suggested, an ami
cable adjustment has been arrived at;
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion clinches the matter with an order
putting the agreement into effect. 1t

We gather from the remarks of
Apostle Hcber j, Grant In his satisfac-
ton at word received from Prcsi.
dent Murdock of the Wasatch stake,
that the public school houses in that
stake arc used for "teaching religion
to our young children after school
hours, that buildings erected by pub
lie taxation, supplied with furniture
and lighted and heated from public
money, are used for this sectarian pur.
pose; and as Apostle Grant said,
those who are not of our faith offer
no opposition And yet, doubtless,
there would be opposition offered at
once il any other sect undertook TO use
those buildings for their own sectarian
purposes. That this use is contrary to
law has been fully shown heretofore.
aud the State Superintendent has dis.
tinctly and emphatieally ruled against
the use of the school buildings for any
such purpose. The point was conceded
by the First Presidency of the church
many years ago, and direct orders were
issned 10 discontinue the use of the
public school buildings for such pur-
poses. II seems, however, that this use
has been gradually reinstated, and that
in the Wasateh stake, at least, this
use is general. That the use of the
public school buildings, their furui-
ture and their fuel for this or any
other sectarian purposes is unlawful
and contrary to the constitutional sepa-
ration OF church and state, there
can be no question; and when Apostle
Grant felicitates himself and the
Saints upon such unlawful work he
commits a fault that is inexcusabic.
especially in view of the history Of thi
particular matter.

POINTS OF THE CONFERENCE.

The April conference OF the Mormon
church WIS the most largely attended
proba bly,, OF any of these conferences
ever beld It passed off without eScit
ling incidents. although there were 9
number of rumors as TO what would oI
might be done. These rumors failed
to msterialize: and yet there were some
incidents attending the proceedings
that are worthy Of special attention.
First. we will note the pleas made by
Apostle Hyrum NJ. Smith, where he
claimed that it is contrary TO the law
of God for Mormon girl to marry a
Gentle man or Mormon man 10
| marry Gentle girl. This is q remnant
OF the foolish old exclusiveness which
held the Mormons to be "a peculiar
people, better than their neighbors,
and in especial favor with God above

phatically the old 81 am hoEer than
thou exclusiveness, which it is justly

who assert any such notion are acting
in bigotcd contravention of the COM
mon, equal citizenship Of all, and where
all are to be dealt with in every rela-
tion OF life upon their merits and with.
out regard to their religious notions.
So far as religion goes, every one is
entitled TO complete liberty of con.
science and of acts, so far as those
acts do not contravcne the law or the
rights Of others. There is no reason.
as a matter Of fact, in our com
mon citizenship and our common social
relations, why Mormon girl should
not marry GENTLE man or Gentle
nan marry a Mormon girl. Matters OF
this kind are Justly to be settled ac-
,ording to the desires of the parties
most interested, and the sooner such
better, SO far as our community life
lerc is concerned, all that sort Of ex
,lusiveness makes against the har
nony Of community life, and those who
to continue and to foster
hat old cxclusivcncss, that arrogant
lain Of clf-righteousness, are repre-
lensible before the community for I'M
lertaking to perpetuato conditions that

gencies which created them; and a |
which sees danger in the |

ations shows a fear for itself when it
