Warn Your Congressman

The Knights Of Mob and Murder are
very active nowadays pushing the bill to
make Columbus Day n legal holiday.
Our little booklet on this subject has
enough dynamite facts in il TO blow up
the bill and scatter the fragments into
oblivion. Tell your congressman that
Columbus was the father Of slavery in
the United States, that he never set foot
on American soil, that he was but little
better than a pirate, the most odious
character of his day, slave trader, re-
morselessly cruel and tyrant. The
Mites Of Columbo are publishing this CO.
lumbus Day business, not because pri-
marily Columbus discovered America,
but because be was . papist. Tell your
congressman that you object TO honoring
any man Of Columbus character and
that no man is entitled 10 such honor

A Weighty Reason

question of one Of his church papsrsi
'Does the church eountenancs the mar
riage Of two Catholics who are second
cousinsf" Answer: "Seeond cousins
are within the forbidden degree Of kim
ship. The church can, and sometimes
does, dispense from this law Of eoaSan-
guinity for reasons sufficiently weighty."
We are at loss TO know how the church
can, short Of n miracle, dispense with the
fact Of 4 person s eonsanguinity, or how
she can change the fact that they are
kindred who are Of blood relationi
Nevertheless, the church will assume the
power to dispense from this natural law
for reasons sufficiently Ueighty." HoD

Mountains is being sought by George

tary of the Appalachian Park Assoc
citation. He will present the matter to
the chamber some time in the near

body. Robert F. Maddox, vice presi-

is director in the association.
The plan is to establish park on
the order of the Yosemite and yell
lowstone Parks somewher in the Big
Smoky Mountains, in the neighbor-
hood of the Georgia, Tennessee and
Carolina lines. Under the Weeks bill,
the Federal Government has already
purchased about 1000, 900 acres of this
mountain territory to be used in the
scientific study of tree growth and for
the preservation of the heads of navi-
gable streams.
Already, says Mr.. Powell, the move
is being supported by many of the
most prominent men of the South.
