A FRIEND WHOSE HELP is
VALUED.

Dear Sir: [ wish to express my
appreciation Of your masterful letter
in your Magazine for September, "A
Letter to Cardinal Gibbons" That
was the most concise summing up of
that pagan religious grating po
litical organization that could have
letters to that eminent CRATER and
deceiyer are to end. However,
hope you will break loose in other
places and continue to lambast them.
I predict \that when years have
passed and the conflict nears the
beginning, that letter will be herald
ed to the world as a masterpiece Of
the perfect conduct and mission of
the hierarchy.
l am enclosing to you one dollar,
and ask that you mail copy OF your
September Magazine to the Presi-
dent of the United States and one to
each member Of his Cabinet, and my
prayer is that they read it and get
wise to the objects and effects of
that monstrous religio politicO
organization. If you can have the
outside cover of the Magazine blue
nal Gibbons" so that their attention
will be directed to it, l will be IA
VOred.
Assuring you of my highest re-
gard, as one who will do all he can
to hold up your hands while you
"hand it to Them" l am, sir, your
friend, B. M. HUEY.

WHAT THE REAL TROUBLE IN
NEW YORK is.

Dear Sir: OF course the real
trouble in New York is the eternal
Roman Catholic Political machine.
Sultzer was not a good enough
Jesuit By the looks Of Glynn's
pictures one has no cause to doubt.
He has all the ear marks of John
ME on the spot" Mexico's troubles
have their root in the same soil. Our
Mr.. O'Shaunessy in charge in Mex
leo has the right sort of a name to
be of the right kind. | would like to
know as to ex-Ambassador Wilson.
Can you tell us if he is Papist or
not? If not Papist, what the ID
is he? Of course when w. J. B.
vouched for his character, w. J. B.
was as usual playing for the Catholic
vote. Whether Wilson was Papist or
not, it must be that Lane Wilson is
a Papist. Anyway he played the part
in the Madero murder, and since, and
ought to be exposed and punished
like any other fellow. II you can let
us know about Lane Wilson do SO.
Yours truly,
Georgia. A. ARMSTRONG.

READ PHELAN's ANSWERS"

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have just
read the answers to the questions you
put to Rev. Phelan, and have this
to say, he ought to be hung by the
neck until he $ dead. That would be
too good for him, but 1 think when
you get through with him he will
stand hitched, that is if he don't fly
back when the chase gets hot. Mr..
Watson l feel like yelling to you
what you told Dear Doctor Lovett,"
go it Dock, give 'em He'll. Thanking
you in advance for your favor, and

READS GIBBONS LETTERS WITH
GREAT SATISFACTION.

Dear Sir: l read with great salts
faction your fifteenth letter to Car
dinal Gibbons, noting with special
interest your offer to furnish him a
list of books CONDEMNED to the
flames" by the grand mogul who
holds down the papal job at Rome.
Would it be asking too much to re-
quest that you print partial list Of
these interdicted volumes? l am
quite sure many of your readers of
this Romish ridden balliwick would
be pleased to know what kind of
reading is anathema with the Red
hat brigade. I live almost within
the shadow of ST. Pauls Cathedral,
Pittsburgh's costly monument to the
infallible dagO who runs this mon
strous imposition, and am regular
Sunday witness to the parade Of
misled servant girls and other ig-
norant followers of the only church
CD, armed each with a prayer-book,
a string of beads and the weekly sti-
pend destined for the fat pocketboOk
of his highness, and am invariably
reminded of Sidney Smiths peril
nent reference to Catholicism, as
true today as when it was penned.
under the name of eXcOrcism,
the Catholic liturgy contains form
of procedure for drowning out
devils; even with the nelp Of this
instrument, the operation cannot be
performed with the desired success
but by an operator qualified by
holy orders for the working of this
as we'll as so many other wonders
In our day and in our country the
same object is attained, and beyond
comparison more effectively, by as
cheap an instrument as q common
newspaper: before this talisman, not
only devils, but ghosts, vampires,
witches and all their kindred tribes
are driven out of the land, never to
return again: The touch of holy
water is not so intolerable to them,
as the bare smell of printers ink"
You are certainly doing yoeman
service in exposing the graft, intoler-
ance, deceit and the countless impo-
sitions practiced by the Roman Cath
Ollie Church, and there is no more
prolific field for spreading the truth
as against this gigantic fraud than
is presented in this city. The foot
prints Of papal control are in evil
dence on every hand. At the head
OF the CITY government is d CdInol1C.
They are to be found in every public
Office by the score, in fact nom
Catholic doesn't stand as much show
for public position as the proverbial
SNOWFALL in hades.
Under present conditions it does
not appear that the growing power
of Catholicism can be checked in
Pittsburgh, principally for the rea-
son that the Protestant churches are
not working in unison, while the adj
herents of the Holy father are as
one man in their opposition to our
orthodox brethren and fighting the
American public schools with a
venom worthy of a better cause.
Keep after them.
Very truly yours,
T

LAST WEEKS JEFF A CORKER.

Dear Sir: This weeks Jeff is
"corker." The Chiefs criticism of
Bowdre P. on Judge Speer is a peach,
and the article containing those ques-
tions to Phelan, drawing the "wolf's"
answers is the best work the Chief
has done for this country yet. Surely
our people VIII now see the necessity
Of ousting these wolves of the Italian
Romanist hierarchy from the con-
troll of the government. ] sincerely
trust this may mark the real turning
point to the restoration of our con-
stitutiCnal rights and liberties, which
seem to be so fast slipping away.
Yours truly,
J. l.. CARTLEDGE.

TO "THE JEFFS."

The Jeff's they hold a steady gun,
On the Petty Coats" and begging
nun"
For slugs they use long rolls of
truth,
And "the beast" is bowling in his

The fact they howl and take to
flight,
Is proof in full your "aim is right"
You'll never miss nor never be hit,
If you pommel with truth and only
it. 0. P. S.
