Even more important in cementing friendly feelings between the northern and southern Americas. would be a tour of Latin America by big league clubs. Trips to Cuba have been frequent and profitable of late years, and many professional players have visited Porto Rico and Panama, but outside of those coun= tries the American national game is unknown. Of course, the first tourists would have to go as missionaries, and would probably lose money, but tha trip would be worth all it cost and much more.

from the throne and country and
republican "misgovernme1t" set

of Masons for the execution of

guisbed brethren.
Further he says that the pres

Turkey is Masonic and Masons
by their anti-religion and anti.
! patriotic sentiments have
brought Turkey to her present
state. Russia has many lodges
which OF course are working in

try.
| Brifaut accuses Masons of be.
ing unpatrio.ic, unreligious and
against the family. because they
have the Masonic interest above
all else. He calls on all true
Catholics Ito fight the Masons
tooth and nail or the church will
be ruined"
In one lecture he gave an ex-
haustive account of the Masonic
organization, which he pronounc.
ed perfect.
The members creep into a

organizing schools, charities and
social institutions, attracting
liberal and socialislic parties,
making them generally unwit

per cent OF the appointments
made by President Wilson have

pie in this country about 50, 900,
600 are Roman Catholics. Now
tell me why this small per cent
of our population should receive
over so per cent of the appoint,

boldly claim, first. allegiance to

by the Pope, to this American
