Senator VardaEnan'S EulOgy On
the Dead POpulist Party.

on the % January, 1914, Senator James
- X. Vardaman, of Mississippi spoke
briefly in favor Of the Government owner
ship of railroads. 1t seems that the Govern
ment IS about to go crazy on that subject.
All the old Senators who used to think that
if the Government owned the railroads, the
country would go to hell have all died, and
presumably gone to heaven.
Anyway, a new set is sitting now, and they
see things that the old set did not see, when
they used to sit.
[ don't know which it is to be, but either
hell or heaven is going to be supplied with
an entirely new set of Senators.
This is what Vardaman said; and while he
was saying it, I'll bet that Senators Lamar,
Walthall, George and the other dead ones
were doing their best to turn over in their
graves:
wish to say also that I am not in any way
hindered by the specter of Government owner
ship of railroads, with all it's socialistic tenden-
cies. That old ghost has ceased to frighten me-
If the building of this road by the Government
shall contribute to the prosperity and the happi-
ness of the people whose toll produces the wealth
of the country, maintain it's commerce in time of
peace, and who fight it's battles in time of war,
then say let the road be built. If the build

Moreover G1ennOn commanded Phelan to
refrain from making any editorial comment
upon the papal condemnation of that wicked
dance.
[ felt awfully sorry for old Phelan, when
he was ordered to eat crow, buzzard and pole
cat all at the same time
You may remember my remarks
Anyway, [ looked out for the next issue of
Phelan's paper, to see how he got along eating
that mess.
Bless your life! It wasn't in there at ALL
Old Phelan did not print a word from the
Jacl1ass Glcnnon, and he did not eat any crow,
much less any of the buzzard and the pole
cat.
Then, in day or two, the news came from
Italy that Papa had eaten the crow. the buzz
zard and the smel-cat
Papa backed right down. He took it all
back. He saved his face by having young
couple dance the Tango in his presence. They
must have danced it with tears in their eyes.
Anyway, Papa said there was no harm in
that dance, and that he the Infallible had been
misled
So Phelan comes out on top The Tango
has been danced before Christ-on-earth, and
Christ-on earth has said it is strictly o. k.
That leaves Glennon and Bill O'Connel in
bad fix.
It sorter undermines Papa also; but as I
have already said, Papa knows the road to
Canossa, and Papa knows when to make the
trip.

Papa Gees to Canossa Again.

ONCE upon a time, a German emperor
found himself beset by rebellious chief
tains who wanted to get rid of him and set up
another overload whom they could rule The
name Of this unfortunate emperor was Frede-
rick, and he is the monarch who went to
Canossa
Just as the name "a Waterloo" means
complete defeat in battle, going to Canossa"
means an abject surrender of the Civil State
to the heather powers Of Popery.
Romanist writer's are never so happy in,
their little souls as when they can say Of some
civil ruler che had to go to Canossa"
Pope Hildebrand Cor Gregory Wiz was
staying in the castle of Canossa with his
woman and concubine, the Countess Matilda
OF Tuscany, when the German emperor came
over the frozen Alps, dismissed his soldiers,
took off his royal raiment, and waited three
days, standing barefooted in the snow, until
that insolent and immoral Italian would con-
sent to receive him as "a penitent"
To this day, it fills the little souls of the
little slaves Of the Italian pope with joy, to
remember how Hildebrand and his concubine
forced the emperor to suffer
However, the emperor took his medicine
brldged his difficulties over, bided his time,
brought those rebellous mobiles to their knees,
chased old Hildebrand out Of Rome, and ran

not tell. Perhaps they do not know it, What
they don't know, they made into Catholic
Encyclopedia and [ am told that it is a big
lot of books.
have been intending to write magazine
article entitled, "When the Pope goes to
Canossa."
He has been there often. He knows the
way. He usually starts by the underground
passage that leads from the Vatican brothel
where the Pope lives, to the Castle of st.
Angelo, which the emperor Hadrian built for
his tomb. The popes stole it, to use as a
hiding place when the Vatican gets too hot
to hold them. From St. Angelo, the pope can
jump on mule and gallop out into the coun-
try, and dodge about until the danger is
passed.
The last pope to run underground like
mole, was that bastard begetting fellow, Pope
Plus TX whom General Garibaldi cot after,
in 1870, when you and | were at school.
But, few days ago, Papa Plus X had to
treck to Canossa. 1t was about the Tango
dance
Alas! how are the mighty fallen, when
Papa has to back-track, reverse his engine,
and unwind his Infallibility in the matter Of
how young men and young women shall twirI
their legs!
Only last week [ was telling you that an
ecclesiastical ass, named Glennon, had ordered
that glorious old heather. d. S. Phelan of St.
Louis, to quit endorsing the Tango. John
Glennon ordered Phelan to print the papal
anathema against the dance on the editorial
page of Phelan's own paper.
