path through my farm, knowing
when they do so they are ignoring
the process which the law has
mapped out for the protection
OF my land, and put themselves
III shape to be prosecuted
by law. Just so the Roman
Cathollcs have ben sending their
obscene literature through the
mails Tor thirty years, and if it is
violation now, it was then, and thew
knew it; andsif you have got to suf-
Ter, l say put them through and
make them suffer some too-iust as
much as you have to. You have
been telling the truth and hewing to
the line, and letting chips fall where
tney might, and as you failed to
keep silent, | think your chips must
nave turned to Goals of fire, from
the way they are acting in trying to
stop the circulation, of your litera-
ture, and failing in the attempt to-
SO do, they have appealed to Uncle
Sam to help them carry GU. their
corrupt and damnable designs. They
nave got control of nearly all our
political affairs. You can tell that
from the corruptness of things. but
they are not satisfied. Yet they want
our churches and schools, and it fills
me with disgust when l hear our min
listers ticking sides with this greedy
monster | am not much of a
scholar, but | know right from
wrong, and | know it would be un-
just to put fine on you for travel
ing a path through my little farm,
after seeing it travelled for thirty
years by as damnable a set as those
catering to the homan hierarchy.
1T is astonishing to know how quiet
the high officials kept this corrupt
state Of affairs; never a word from
them-nOthing was said about OBJ
scene language going through the
malls-but when you see fit to ex-
pose the corruptness of their litera-
ture and enlighten the people in re-
gard to what they are trying to do,
by keeping the bible away from our
children, and introduce their nasty
abominable text books in our
schools, [ say [ think it is time
somebody was exposing them.
don't think there is a man that will
use his head for anything but hat
rack, that would put a fine on you,
and l am satisfied that the majority
OF the people are with you. Our
daily papers could do so much to
relieve the situation, but they are
hands eff. | would like so much to
Know it they really and truly are in
sympathy with the movements of the
hierarchy in this country, or are
they afraid, or do lAey love money
so we'll they have sold themselves to
them. You know it is the love of
money that is at the root of all
evil, not the money, but the love of
it. How many dailies are there that
have no Catholic on their staff?
am a member of the Methodist
church, but most all of the Metho-
dists are against anything you men
ton or favor, yet | do not believe
they actually favor the Roman hier-
archy-it is just anti-Watson with
them. [ have about decided that, if
the Lord and the devil were to run
in primary and you advocated the
Lord, which you would be sure to
do, seven out of ten of our preachers,
bishops and elders would support the
devil, while every now and then you
will find one old lonesome fellow
that is brave enough to come out and
proclaim the right and denounce the
wrong. | hope that more of them
will try and reform their way o.
criticising before they investigate.
