ians of Liberty, in the matter
OF the prosecution of the Hon. Thos.
E. Watson, of Thoms n, Ca, at the
e instance of the society of the
knights of Columbus" the right
arm of the Roman Catholic hierarchy,
charging said Watson with sending
obscene and immoral literature
through the United States mails in
WatsOn's Magazine, consisting of a
chapter in Latin quoted from a Ro-
man Catholic theological textbook;
chapter of questions which sensual
Romish priests put to matrons and
maidens in the privacy and the Sec.
recy of the confessional box; and in
the matter of Mr. Watson's pending
trial in the United States courts.
Thereupon, the following resolu-
tons were offered and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, in the prosecution by the
government and the attempted per-
secutiOn by the Roman Catholic HER
archy, through it's fanatical church

of the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, that
fearless champion of free speech and
free press, we see the evil hand of
political Romanism in an ATTEMPTED
partnership with the United States
government, in affairs of State, and
we perceive that the powers of the
State are being invoked, as of old,
by that ancient foe of liberty, to per-
secute and crush the educators of the
people in the gospel of liberty, pro-
gress, and advancement of civiliza-
ton; and
Whereas, the liberty of the press
is in danger, many acts of the gov
eminent, instigated, as we believe, by
this ancient enemy of the people,
have been and are of an alarming
tendency; editors thrown into prison
and their periodicals loaded down
and burdened with court costs, be-
cause they had exposed and are ex-
posing the Ubiquitous combinations of
Church and State, and pandering gov
eminent officials may result in the
liberty of the press being practically
annulled; and
Whereas, it is emphatically our
opinion that free discussion shall not
be stif1ed at the behest of the Roman
Church priesthood, even when back

When cross. irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! II coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out Of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child

OF cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,

KEEP THEIR HEADS STEADY
Australian Statesman Asserts Women
Prevent Conditions of Political
Turbulence.

The prime minister of Australia,
where the women have suffrage on
equal terms with men, was interview
ed while on q visit to London on the
results Of woman suffrage in his coun-
try. He is quoted as saying:
"Women's suffrage steadies political
feeling. In Democratic countries tur-
bulence is always danger. Well, IN
a time of political excitement men
will let themselves loose. Women
won't. They don't want Mysteries
They don't want earthquakes. They
are the domestic economists, and they
have to calculate the needs Of their
households pretty closely every week.
This Is why economic questions are
more carefully studied now and why
you get steadier, more sober, more
wholesome opinion on all questions
connected with the home"
Possibly no stronger conclusion can
be deduced from the eleven years ex-
perience of woman suffrage In Aus
tralia than the fact that its national
parliament, by unanimous vote, adopt
ed a resolution declaring its entire
success and calling upon the parlia-
ment of Great Britain to enfranchise
women.-New York Evening Post.

Bows Prefer the Farm.

The farm boy has a tremendous ad.
vantage in the world. Early he is
trained to self-reliance, to perform
ance of duties, to regular labor. He
has a sound body. He is eminently
fitted to do the greatest things done in
the world He recognizes that the
farm is the best place in the world in
which to live. Ten chances to one he
would prefer to stay on his fathers
farm. If the father can learn to make
the farm pay well, If he can make 1t
progressive, with hope of fine achieve
ment at the end of the struggle, then
most boys will stay. II is when the
farm is stagnant, unprogressive. dead,
almost hopeless, that the young man
sets his face resolutely away from the
farm.-Breeder's Gazette.

Carblnes for Cavalry.

A proposition to convert the new
Springfield rife into a carbine for the
use of the mounted service is being
considered by the ordnance officers Of
the army. The plan is to shorten the
barrel Of the rife four inches, and by
so doing to reduce its weight by two
pounds thus making 1t much easier
to handle by the mounted troops. The
sights also are to be adjusted to meet
the shortening of the barrel.
The decrease In the muzzle veloc-
ity, 1t is claimed, will not be so great
as to interfere with its effectiveness
up to a range to 1900 yards. The
ordnance department had been asked
to make a report on the proposition,
and the cavalry board will take 1t up
and include 1T in its report on the re-
organization of the cavalry and on
the new equipment.
