''Tfe 4th Degree Oath of the
knights of Columbus

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath bound
subjects of foreign power, I have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled. as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-todate rifles against
their fellow citizens.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves
This question of Popery is the most import
ant question now facing the people of
America.

they will be welcome. We said this independence
is not merely for us-a selfish thing for our own
private use-but for everybody to whom we can
lind the means of extending it.
Now cannot with that oath taken in our
youth; we cannot with that great idea set before
us when we were young people and practically
only scant three million, take upon ourselves
now that we are hundred million, any other
conception of duty than what we entertained at
that time --:- --.-s
Now. that kind of talk is mere school-house
gibberish.
In what respect did our ancestors differ
from other colOnists who swarmed out of the

home?

shores of the Mediterranean, before Heneist

Every human swarm thrown out by the
great hive of the North, and settled in

Those institutions which we love and which
we call Anglo-Saxon, were in full force among

Anglo-Saxon was known to history.

Yet we slaughtered several hundred Mexi-
cans at Vera Cruz, for no other reason than
that they objected to a foreign invasion of
their peaceable city.
In this outbreak of WILSON, BRYAN fo1lv
and ignorance Of international zaao. nineteen
brave American lads were killed For qDbnt?
The President went to New York to make
speech over the dead bodies of these victims
Of official laundering.
The President wrote out his address, model
ling it upon Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech. In fact, Wilson does his level best to
catch the Lincoln style, in all his public utter
ances. The imitation is painfully apparent.
and disappointing.
MI Lincoln was good lawyer. had head
full OF horse sense, understood human nature,
and spoke to the world in a simple, clear,
smewy style. not equalled in his day except
ing by John Bright and Charles Spurgeon.
Woodrow. Wilson knows nothing of law,
little Of human nature, has no gift of COM
mon sense. and speaks like a pedagogue who
has Gagged mankind In "a classroom
Wilson reminds me of friend of mine
learned bore-who visits my house OCCASION
ally; and who never fails to teach me the
alphabet the multiplication table, and the
Rule of Three.
In his New York address, the President
declared 1--WE have gone down to Mexico to
serve mankind. if we can find the way.'
Nineteen Of the 1--WE" were lying dead be-
fore him, and scores Of others of the ''we"
were bleeding at the heart because of those
murdered boys; and millions of others of the
we were anxlously waiting to be told why
that bloody episode at Vera Cruz had been
necessary to our ''honor," our "dignity," or
general welfare.
Wilson did not explain. He couldn't. No
body could.
Did Mexico Salute the Flag? No.
A more wanton piece of criminal stupidity
has never been ordered by any Pedagogue in
High Office.
The flag has never been saluted: old Huerta
gathered up his loot and made off to Europe:
Admiral Mayo has been forgotten: our SOL
diers are still at Vera Cruz. and nobody knows
what they are to do.
Villa conquered the Huerta forces, and did
all the fighting while Carranza conquered
nothing, never faced a bullet, and reaps all
the reward.
If our troops at Vera Cruz have any pur-
pose at all, it is to serve the Spanish priests
and grandees, whose intOlerable oppression
drove the Mexicans to revolt.
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan will
raise storm in this country if our Army is
prostituted to the unholy uses of the rotten
priesthood of Mexico The Philippine infamy
cannot be safely repeated. The scandal will
be too near home The disgraceful facts will
not be screened by a distance of 800 miles.

"But there is limit to that which has laid

generals evacuated Oiinaga at ten
O'Clock tonight. The triumphant
rebel forces under General villa i'm
mcdiatcly occupied the village.
General Salvador Mercado. who
was Huerta's chief military com.
mander, crossed the river and sur
rendered to Major McNamec of the
United States army II was impos-
sible for Major McNamec to lee n
what had become of the fcderals;
whether the bulk OF them had taken
refuge On this side or whether they
were scattered through Mexico.
The country about Ojrnaga is
mostly desert and would furnish
no food for the army
General Mcrcado ot the federal
garrison sent Il note TO Major Ne,
Nance of the 18th L. s. cavalry
asking if the fcdcrals might bring
across the border some guns for
which they had no ammunition.
Would Seize Guns.
Major McNamee replied that any
guns sent across would be seized
and held in this country and that
the men bringing them would be
disarmed and forced back to the
Mexican side.
Later General Mercado sent over
seven wagon loads of government
documents. Tho wagons were pulled
out OF the river and taken into the
United states army camp.
BY steadily creeping toward thu

plateaus where Oiinaga stands. the
rebels. surrounded IN great clouds
of dust, occupied positions within
four miles of the village.
