More Romish Deviltry

"Dear Sirs: After Just reading your
account of the Christmas Ship 7
shall take the umo ~ inform you Of The
indignation that your sacrilegious paper
creates. Have not Roman Catholic chil-
dren a heart. and do they not suffer the
same a. Protcsiantsi Are the children
whom the Christmas ship will benefit 20
blame because they are Catholiest Will
these Christmas gifts be any the less
appreciated because they happen 20 be
delivered by Roman Catholic ofheialst ~
Such is the first paragraph
Of an unsigned letter recently re.
ceived in this office. Since The
Menace has not contained any
mention Of the said Christmas
Ship we were at first somewhat
bewildered at the outburst of in
diglation.
But the recent receipt Of simi-
lar letters protesting against
things which The Menace has
never done and against senti.
ments that The Menace has never
expressed, 60 together with
this letter 20 indicate that our
gentle and super-religlous enc
mics have added a systematic
campaign Of wholesale lying 70
their other activities.
Last week We printed and ex-
posed the cowardly effort OF the
Dubuque, Iowa, Catholic Tribune
to injure The Menace by means
Of garbling, msngling, taking
from and adding to an article
from this paper. The effort of
the craven coward on that occa-
sion was to make il appear that
The Menace is hostile to the Ger.
man nation.
In the past two weeks numer.
GUS letters of complaint have been
received about half Of which &C.
cused The Menace of hostility "a
Germany and an equal number
were written under an impression
gained from some source that We
were hostile TO Great Britain and
the allies. AS q matter of fact
The Menace has never printed
anything that could reasonably
be construed as favoring either
party to the deplorable European
war.
But the conjunction Of all these
letters with the shameless effort
of the Catholci Tribune reveals
Rome's latest tactics. The agents
Of popery are evidently printing
and scattering broadcast al
kinds of stuff purporting to b,
from The Menace that never ap
peared in this paper.
} The Menace is willing at al
times to stand for what it prints
If we make mistakes, as mos
, mortals do, we are willing (,
make amends. But, since on
enemies have become so desper
ate as to resort to such method
: as those mentioned, we must asl
our readers and friends TO rea,
| The Menace 10 see what Tn
! Menace says; and to discount In
, false reports industriously circu
/ lated by papist editors and othe
lying defenders of the rottei
papal system.

Concerning the increasing power Of
Roman Catholic influences in the United
States, we note that in 10000 Of our
public schools one-half Of all the teach.
ers are Catholics, and that in 100000
others a large percentage Of them are
Of the same faith. This predominance
is not, all things considered, roaSsuring
for the best interests Of our public school
system, declared by many TO be the
strongest bulwark Of national and rcE-
giOus liberty. Moreover, there arc 5000
school districts in which a part or all the
support Of Catholic parochial schools is
furnished by tho funds originally in
tended for the public school system only.
Most discouraging Of AL, perhaps, is the
fact that GOO public schools are using
Catholic readers, and teaching the
eateehism from them. II would seem 10
be high time for Protestants TO bestir
themselves, lest our most vital privileges
be imPeriled-GosPel 1esssHgeT, Elgin,

ARRANGEMENTS MADE
 FOR BIG TRACK MEET
NEW FEATURES EXPECTED TO ATTRACT MANY TO HEN
 DRIX EVENT.

Chairman NJ. J. Russell of the Hen dirk College athletic board announced today the completion of arrangements to receive the crowd of high school boys and girls expected here next Saturday at the fourth annual Hen dirk track and field meet. He says the college will give the visitors q royal welcome. A new feature this year is big free luncheon, to be served the youngsters at noon at Ia Dor Hall, the college dining room.
 Indications point to an unusually large attendance this year The bas- ket ball tournament for girls is at tracting many high school girls to the meet. The committee has adopted a rule to turn over all gate receipts to visiting athletes, which they may ap- .ply in paying their travelling expenses. Furthermore the committee will not permit a college student to compete for any of the prizes.

DOUBTS RAILWAYS SELLING p. Q. SITE

Although he stated that it was a matter entirely outside of his juris- dlction, Superintendent C. B. Wild man of the Central Division of the Iron Mountain railway, is inclined to doubt that the company will be will ing to sell portion of the square in this city for use as postoffice build ing site.
 MT. Wildman said he was unable to state what action would be taken m the present case, but the policy of the company had been not to dispose of any of it's right-of-way for any purpose. The company, he said. had been at a great disadvantage in many cases to secure enough room for it's actual needs and it's policy was rather to acquire more ground than to dis pose of what it already held.
 MT. Wildman while here had a con ference with the board of the sewer district relative to the matter of run ming lines under the companys right of way
 The superintendent said the paving to be done here would be worth more than even the sewer system He seemed much pleased with the public improvements at Conway. The new passenger station just completed here, he stated, is the largest and hand somest which has been erected on the division during his administration.

the flag, Adjutant General Lloyd England for the Arkansas militia is putting forth every effort to have the Arkansas National Guard in readiness for mobilization should their be call for volunteers
 Arkansas is handicapped to a de gree because of the lack of legislative support which made it necessary that the expenditures paid for in other states from the state treasury be cared for by subscriptions and public donations Adjutant General Eng land who has had q detachment of regular army men, familiar with army equipment, assisting him for several days in arranging the militia equipment in the armory in the base ment of the new state capitol, said last night tha tthe paraphernalia on hand now is in shape for immediate shipment or distribution for mobli- zation
 While the equipment on hand is sufficient only for the enlisted strength at this time and would provide only for the mems immediate needs, there would be only a slight delay in ob talning from the War Department at Washington the full equipment with changes of raiment for the men, should there be call.
 Already General England has mo- tiied the War Department to send I, 800 additional blankets in case a call is made He placed several days ago order for tenta9e to fill out this need in the equipment on hand
 While inquiries by personal calls. local and long distance telephones and telegrams were pouring into the ad- jutant generals office yesterday, a message from Blytheville in Missis- sippi county, was typical of the case with which additional men could be obtained for mobilization The Blythe vile message informed Adjutant Gen eral England that company of 65 men could be started immediately from that town ready for enlistment for from three to nine years

CONGRESS- BACKS WILSON.
 WARUKE ORDERS ISSUED

Mexican warships and a blockade of Mexico's commerce with the United States.
 Mir Wilson realizes that any action which the United States might take might be construed by Huerta as a military operation sufficient to pro yoke war, but in everything said to- day he emphasized that it was not the part of a powerful nation such as the United States to declare war on d weak neighbor, especially on a small portion of country already torn by civil strife
 The presidents message indicated clearly that should war result. the United States would not seek to add to its territorial confines and that it's only purpose would be the restoration in Mexico of law and order.

Washington, April 21.-In IS hours possibly less the United States will have taken possession of the Mexican Icustom houses at Tampico ana Vera Cruz.
 Detailed plans for the landing of marines at the two important coast towns were completed at conference at the White House between Presi- dent Wilson, Secretaries Bryan, Gar rson and Daniels Major General
 Leonard Wood and Rear Admirals Fiske and Blue and John Lind last might.
 Action by the army and navy of the United States to force Huerta to salute the American flag was held up early today through opposition in the senate to the form of the joint reso- hutton approving President Wilson $ purposes as it passed the house last night A recess of the senate was taken at 12:2S q. m. until noon to- day
 The president while stating in his message to congress that he has full constitutional authority to act, is wait ing for congress to express it's approv- al before ordering Tampico and Vera Cruz to be seized and other steps talk en looking to reparation for the ar rest of American bluejackets at Tam pico
 In spectacular midnight session the senate discussed the house resolu- ton briefly. Senators objected to in dividualiZing Huerta and a substitute resolution was agreed upon by the Foreign Relations Committee, giving the president broad powers to deal with the situation in Mexico, "in view of the facts presented by the presi- dent in his message.
 President Wilson had retired early, but Secretary Tumulty, Secretary Garrison. Postmaster General Burle- son and Vice President Marshall, Act ing Chairman Shively and other ad- ministration leaders conferred on the substitute resolution.

 Resolved by the senate and house .of representatives in congress assem- bled that the president of the United States is justified in the employment of the armed forces of the Unietd States to enforce the demands upon Nictoriano Huerta for unequivocal amends to the government of the United States for atfronts and indig- mites committed against this govern ment by General Huerta and his rep resentatives
 The passage of the resolution in the house was marked by a long and spirited debate
 The president in a statement to the Washington correspondents, said he had no enthusiasm for war. that he hoped to avert it, but that he was taking forceful steps now to stop those indignities which might lead to armed conflict He drew a distinc- tion between the Huerta faction and the great body of Mexican people who had refused to recognize Gen era Huerta as their president.
 The president in deprecating war spirit that had arisen said
 "ln no conceivable circumstances will We fight the people of Mexico"
 Measures. "short of war" are plan ned by the president such as the seizure of custom houses, the occu- patton of coast towns, the taking of

claimed that three fourths of the
suits in court could be Worded or
settled without recourse to lawyers
and that the latter foment litigation
and keep cases in court as long a.
possible in order to reap a larger
financial profit thereby. He says his
organization already has a large
secret embership and that it is des-
tined to become a power in state and
national politics.
Mr.. Solward pointed out that
lawyers are in control OF the legis-
latures and congress and have been
for a long time and that they enact
laws which have for their hidden
purpose the fomenting of litigation.
He said he made special study Of
the effect OF lawyers upon the politl-

biggest trouble makers in the land.
