is certainly amusing, but somewhat
disappointing, to go into restaurant

very small and is called 'reis. One
thousand of them are equivalent of
one-third of an American dollar. The

mixtures they dope up are distasteful.

that better than Yankees"

1t ought not to be necessary for the
mayor or the health officer of the city
to issue proclamation for a "clean
up" day. Every city ought to possess
sufficient civic pride. Streets, alleys,
bitches, back yards, ETC., should not be
cleaned out once year, but every day,
or as often as necessary. We read of

Of MAIL SERVICE
ON |. R. { n. IS UNCERTAIN

M. & E. Wolf recently took up with
R. M. Thomas, Acting Superintendent
OF Railway Mail Service of the Twelfth
Division, the question as to whether
the L. r. & N. will continue to carry
the U, S. mails after July 81. In reply
Mr.. Thomas quotes the following from
letter which he received from the
Second Assistant Postmaster General.
Concerning the suggested discon.
tinuance Of mail service on July 1, by.
the Louisiana Railway & Navigation
Company operating routes $4,000 and
149,047, ! have to say the company has
advised the Department it will con.
tinue service to July 31st pending a
determination as to whether or not the
rate of compensation justified by the
weights OF mails carried during the
weighing in the spring of this year will
be satisfactory to it."
Then Mr.. Thomas says: From the
foregoing it appears that if the Louis
lana Railway & Navigation Company
lis willing to continue service at the
rate of compensation justified by the
weights of mails carried during the
weighing in the spring of this year, as
provided by the Postal Laws & Regu-
lations, there will be no discontinuance
OF service performed by this company"
Very little consolation or information
lis to be gathered from the foregoing.
The continuance Of mail service on
the l.. R. & N. apparently hinges on a
great big "if," and Mr.. Thomas doesn't
seem to know what is going to be done.
Pending final decision in the matter,
which we understand will be made not
later than July 81, the people living in
the district served by the L. r. & N.
should make strong representation to
the government showing the ill effects
which will be visited upon them should
this service be discontinued
The True Democrat on June 9th
published an article showing the incon.
venience that would be heaped upon
the people of three parishes and part
of Mississippi should this service be
discontinued. 1t might be good idea
II the different communities affected
could agree upon some concerted ae-
ton in making representations to the
government.

within our said province, and that
all such persons, except Papists,
Shall have a free exercise Of reli-
gion So they be contentea~ with the
quiet and peaceable enjoyment Of
the same not giving offense or
scandal to the Government"
The proposed oath could not, ex-
clude any Romanist, such as the late
Patrick Walsh. The United States in
1862 undertook to protect the Con-
stitution and the principle OF separa-
ton of Church and State the Gin en-
bodied, by requiring an oath Of allie
glance and defense as against the
South. The States, reunited, in
1914 should protect the Constitution
and the separation of Church and
State embodied therein, by enIarg-
ing that oath and requiring allegi-
ance to and defense Of the Constitu-
ton, and the separation of Church
and State, as against the presump-
tons Of Papal power.
l say to my Romanist neighbor,
the Constitution protects you in your
freedom to be Romanist and it
protects me in my freedom in the
exercise of the rights Of conscience.
I say to my Romanist neighbor the
doctrines of Papacy may protect you,
being a Romanist in the matter of
your religious belief, but the doc
trines of Papacy deny to me and to
you the right to think, to speak. The
doctrines of Papacy are therefore,
fatal to human liberty. The pat
riots and Protestants Of Ulster real
ize that they are upon the verge Of
on open volcanic crater, and are
fighting, not the religious beliefs of
Romanism, but the political and gov
ernmental pretentions of Papacy.
To the American citizen I would
say freedom of conscience, freedom
of speech, freedom of the press, are
involved in the issue in Ulster and
in our own Union
Are these rights worth preserv-
ing? If you act in time, using free
dom Of speech, freedom Of the press
and your ballot, you may save all
three.
Are you going to do this, or are
you going to leave it to your child
rem?

bers. There are 23,O00,OO0
communicates in Protestant
churches and 100000
communicates in Roman Catholic
churches. To all of these Pope
Gregory XVI, says:
1T is not lawful to hold
in equal favor different kinds of reli-
gion."
To all of these the Constitution of
the United States says exactly the
opposite. To all Of these Gregory
XVI, says:
The unrestricted freedom of
thinking and of openly making
known ones thoughts to others is
not inherent in the rights Of citi-
ZGns'
To all of these the Constitution of
the United States says exactly the
opposite.
These priceless principles of the
American Constitution represent the
Crystalized blood Of countless mil
lions and express the greatest
achievement of the human race.
Leave to live, by no mans leave,
underneath the law" is the keynote
Of American institutions, and yet
Papacy says to Romanist, to Protest
ant, and to 10000, 900 other Ameri-
can citizens that these liberties are
shameless liberties.
Said Gregory XVI, in 1892:
Nor can we hope for happier re-
suits for religion or for the civil gov
ernmont from the wishes Of those
who desire that the Church be
separated from the State
1t is clear that these men yearn for
shameless liberty ="
Pope Leo Kill, in his Syllabus of
Errors, 1854, denounced these prin-
cipIes Of freedom when he denounced
as errors these propositions:
'The Church has not the power of
awaiting herself of force or any di-
rect Or indirect temporal power"
In other words, Pope Leo XIII. de-
clared that the Catholic church can
employ force, and again:
'"The Church ought to be sepa-
rated from the State and the State,
from the Church."
In other words, the position of
Pope Leo XIII, was that the Church
and the State, that is the Roman
Catholic Church and the State, ought
to be united. SO we have as the
established principles of Papacy these
doctrines:
/. Union of Church and State.
2. Right Of the Church to use
force.
8. No citizen has the right of
thinking, Or of making known his
thoughts to others.
This is the formula of Papal pre-
tentiOn which is deadly to the Consti-
tuition. A general acceptance of this
formula will mean that 81 Italians
will rule America, the Constitution
will perish, and the fairest Republic
which has been evolved in the pro-
cession Of the ages will Vanish.
This is not religious question at
all The cry that the discussion of
the amazing pretentions Of thirty
one Italians, in terms of sober deco
rum, and in kindly spirit which
embraces within it's affectionate
sOlicitude the endangered liberty of
every American is religious persecu-
ton, may brighten the timid and con-
fuse the stupid, but cannot alter or
obscure the impending danger to
free institutions
Leo XIII, only a few years ago, in
his Great Encyclical Letters, said:

trines Divinely revealed, belongs to

City League Team, Playing Away
From Home, Permitted Their On
ponents to Annex Only Four
Safeties, Erring Only Once.

Hot Springs, May 29.-Before one
Oh tne largest crowds of the present
baseball season, Hot Springs met their
flrst defeat this afternoon by the
score OF 8 to l at the hands of the
Cla'-dn Clegg aggregation of Pine
Bluff.
The game was the prettiest ever
witnessed by local fans on the home
diamond and only three boobies were
made during the entire nine innings
Bell, who was picked by the visitors
to trim the locals proved himself a
tWlrling artist, whipping eleven men.
Davies the local twirled pitched a nice
game OF ball, striking out four men,
b'' was not given the support receiv-
ed by Bell
The visitors started off in a gallop
and chalked up three TALES in the
first inning. The locals lone score was
made in the last half of this inning.
The same teams will battle again
this afternoon, and it is expected that
the crowd will be even larger than
yesterday because of the fine article
OF ball put UP by the teams.
Plans are on foot to have the locals
go to Pine Bluff next week for a
OF three games, and it is eX-
pected that an agreement to this end
will be reached before tomorrow.
On the II o'clock train from Pine
Bluff tonight came a dozen or more
rooters. who will witness tomorrow's
come and root for the success of the
visitors.
