Columbus Statue Graft

IHE ease with which they got

u mess called the Columbus
statue has emboldened the pa
pists 10 look for more OF the same
kind OF money under any and every
pretext which they are able TO scrape
up. Since Il has hean scuN,usivcly
proven by the researches OF Prof Hy-
land c. Kirk. and others, that Chris
topher Columbus was a Spanish Jew,
the men In Rome who make saints

onization. But the original project
was 20 get as many OF the states as
possible 10 set aside a day each year
for Columbus Day, then canonize the
discoverer and have Il so that a large
part OF the country was celebrating
one Of the regular papal saint" days
with the gusto OF a small spanish
town In the days when Rome ruled
supreme In that benighted land. Now
that the cat is out Of the bag. and Il
Is common knowledge that Columbus
never set foot on the American conti-
nent-that he was not, indeed, the
discoverer OF America-it is in order
for all the states which established
the Columbus Day. TO please the papal
agents, TO repeal the act and have
done with the entire sickly sham.
In the special figures compiled by
the Census Bureau In 1906 Il appears
that there are In the United States
1207s.l42 papists, with l1,SSl mass
houses, with seating capacity for a.
494,377. or the total 43,77S were given
as residents in the District OF Column
bia, and, OF course, mostly holding
down government jobs-or keeping
saloons. The same table gives the
amount OF papal property In this dis
trict as Si,25g,550. But, since special
efforts have been made in all parts OF
the nation TO raise funds for the up
building OF the plant here, Il is not
unlikely that the papal holdings now
amount to nearly as much again.
In conclusion. let us recall the oft
repeated words of General Lafayette,
the Frenchman who came over here
to assist the colonists in their struggle
for liberty: "lt Is my opinion that u
the liberties Of this country are ever
destroyed II will be by the subtlety Of
the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for
they are the most crafty and danger

erty. They have lnstlgated most Of
the wars In Europe" Lafayette was
reared in the papal fold; but he had
no illusions as TO the character OF the
religious orders" which have more
recently been banished, bag and bag
sage, from the soil OF France.
Then take this utterance Of Cardi-
nal Gibbons, who sets himself up as
an oracle to denounce every generous
impulse and ambition OF the Amer
lean people. Speaking Of the public
schools he said:
They are an imperfect and vicious
system Of education which undermines
the religion Of youth" Better no re-
ligion at all, my dear cardinal. than
the kind you teach in your parochial
schools.
