Let Us Talk 1t
Over

Well, dear sinner friends, MS u
The Fool Killer.
How does it set on your
II you like it, you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is not even a forty
'leventh cousin to any other paper on
Sarth.
It stands in a class by itself, n
tn field Is az broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You can put that down to start with.
I am the fellow who works at the
pump-handle on this pungent period
ical of thrilling thought. I print only
what I write; I write only what l
think; and I think what I doggon
please.
I own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share OF 1t.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, [ am a great
deal richer than old John.
I never travelled any to speak OF,
but I have read a great deal, and have
thunk some.
I have also writ a few books which
I know are great, because they don't
sell worth a cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started The Fool-k1ller'
Eust to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
q bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations OF
society and cause the Church Of Nam
mon to at least turn over in its sleep
The Fool-Killer 10 a monthly mus
ta~rd-plaster for the, blood-boils OF
Society, Church and State.
It is sailed with wit, peppered with
humor and seasoned with sarcasm.
Every line cuts like a whip, and
every word raises a blister.
If you are a fool you had better not
subscribe for The Fool-Killer. II
you are wise you will. And so that
settles it.
The fool-killer., 1914-06-01
Somebody Had Better Look Out!

A good many complaints are
being received stating that some
of the subscribers are not getting
the paper regularly. And on look
ing them up, we find that nearly
every one is on the list correctly
and that the papers have certain
ly been sent. Somebody is de-
stroying these papers, either
through carelessness or. pure
cussed meanness, and it is more
than likely the work Of some Of
our good CD Catholic postmasters
or mail clerks. 1t might be a good
idea for these smart buddies to
go a little bit slow with that sort
Of business, Or they may get
themselves into several bushels
of trouble.

The demand for the May num-
Der of The Fool Killer has been
so great that all the extra copies
printed have been taken, and I
have had a geat many calls for
bundles of that number which |
am unable to supply. There seems
to have been something in the
May number that made a special
hit" judging by the way it was
called for, and [ am very sorry
that the supply has been exhaust

such a calamity hereafter by

STARTED IT ALL.

The Killer is the original
Anti Catholic paper IN this
country. The very first issue,
printed in January, 1910, con-
tanned some of the hottest re-
marks that the old Dad of the
Tiber ever had crammed down
his ungodly goozle. And from
that day till this, | have not
missed an opportunity to tell my
readers what [ think Of the old
fraud.
For the first year or so | had to
hammer away all alone, and some
of the big editors made all man.

criticize "a great branch Of the
Christian church., as they called
it. E.,
And then, one day, THE
Menace camekersplash into the
journalistic swimming-hole, fol-
lowed by 1.-The Liberator" and
others. The cause had begun to
get popular by this time, and
somebody figured it out that
there was going to be some
money in it. Hence there was no
lack of little one-hoss editors
ready to fight, bleed and die ION
paper at Is or so cents a year.
Another year or two passed,
and-would you believe it?-some
Of the very papers that called me
a crank and a fool for my Anti
Catholic stand four years ago,
have now Topped right over and
gone to cussing the Romish ma
chine in meaner language. if
possible, than I ever dared to use.
Now | am not abusing anybody
for taking up this fight. On the
other hand, [ welcome them with
out stretched arms and wish
them great success. Iii is apleasure
to know that so many able editors
who were formerly blinded to the
dangers Of Romish aggression
have now got their eyes open,
and may God hasten the day
when the Rome-ridden daily
press will also shake off the
chains and be free.
But, as a matter of simple
Justice to myself, l just wanted
to remind my rs, 900 readers

AMERICAN WOMAN TRAPPED

Detroit, August 10.-At least two
American women were trapped III
the city of Mue!hausen, Alsaac-LoF-

by the French.
They were Mrs. Harrison Geers, of
Detroit, wife of counsel general of
the Grand Trunk railroad, and her
daughter, baroness Adolph Won
Urff, wife of Baron Won Urff, second
in command Of the German forces
which retreated the city.
Mrs. Geers arrived in Muelhauseen

Mrs. Hall rested fairly well Sat

Mrs. Hall rested fairly well Sat
urday night, it was reported yester-
day morning, ate hearty breakfast
sent to her from the. Louisa Hotel.
Later she held short conference
with her attorney, R. Lindsay Cor
don, and then bade good-by to her
eldest daughter, Essie Dunkum, who
had spent the night with her. 1t was
AN affecting scene, though Essie did
not succumb to the violent emotion
which overcame her sister, Mamie,
when the verdict of second degree
murder was brought IN by the jury
on Saturday afternoon.
By order of Judge George s..
Shackelford, no one will be allowed
again to remain with Mrs. Hall,
though her family will be permitted
ito visit her occasionally. Hereafter
she must spend her days in solitary
confinement. She will remain in the
Louisa County Jail pending an ap-
peal, which may be taken at any
time within sixty days Of the convic-
ton. Attorney Hill Carter will argue
on his motion to have the verdict set
aside as contrary to the law and
evidence on Thursday, and the mo-
.tion, it is predicted, will be refused
by Judge Shackelford. The next step
will be the preparation of the ap-
peal, and the case will then go for
hearing before the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals. One of the main
grounds for appeal will be the fact
that Judge Shackelford permitted the
of evidence in connec-
tion with the last pantry fire in the
Hall home, lighted by Mrs. Hall, the
Commonwealth claims, to destroy
the last vestige of evidence which
would connect her with the murder
of her husband.
70 add to her woes, an insane ne
gro woman was yesterday morning
placed in a cell adjoining that of
Mrs. Hall. The woman was so vlo-
lent that she had to be placed in a
strait jacket. Her maniacal cries
could be heard all over the village,
and must prove a trying ordeal to
the other woman.

GREAT WAR HAS COME.
Italy. Holland and Roumania May
Soon Be in Ring.

London, August 1B.-The Spectator
says:
"The great war has come, as every
sensible person knew it would come
very suddenly, without apparent
reason. Germany and Austro-Hung-
ary are already at war with Russia,
France, Great Britain, Belgium and
Servia. At any moment Germany
NAV be at war with Holland. Italy
!. and Roumania are almost certain to
come in as soon as Russian troops
appear in strength on their frontiers.
Russia wants Pennsylvania and
ITS 10000 Roumanians now op-
pressed by Austria. Denmark and
Switzerland may very easily be
forced to take hand, for the small
powers are beginning to realize that
the issue for thar is one OF !lfe or
death. IF the Germans win there
will be no place lett for the llC0le III
dependent nations. They know tina;
they will always have a genuine
friend and protector in Great Britain.
"What caused the war? Our an
swer is that Germany was ready and
determined. She thought that we,
Russia and France, were neither
ready nor determined, and she' there
fore, struck. Germany began her
preparations for war as soon as the
Eiel Canal was finished, that is, as
soon as. in her belief, her readiness
was at its maximum.
'The German government has al
WAYS been a firm believer in the I'M
portance of material PREPARATION as
we'll az in the idea that war is not a
matter Of self-defense.'

Falling Off of Imports Caus-
ing Serious Loss in the
Revenue. !
WAR TAX INEVITABLE
No Definite Means Considered by
Committee, but Whiskey, Beer, To-
bacco, Etc, May Require Stamps. =,

Washington, August 10.-Although
the United States is at peace, legls-
lative leaders now regard the levying
of a "war tax" as inevitable. Pros
poets that the European conflict. will
be prolonged and that it will materl-
ally reduce, for years to come, the
imports of this country, make it
necessary to adopt emergency meas
ures for the raising of revenue.
Majority Leader Underwood,
author of the new tariff law, admits
that the falling off in the imports
from Europe will be such that Con-
gress must begin to think of other
means of bringing in money. Mr..
Underwood said today that no def
mite plan has been considered, but
the impression in legislative circles
is that Il stamp tax will be imposed,
as in the Spanish-American war.
Whiskey, beer, tobacco, checks,
mortgages, and other legal docu-
ments will most likely be penalIzed
for raising purposes.
"There is no immediate need Of
passing an emergency taxation BILL
said Mr.. Underwood, "for there is a
good surplus in the Treasury now.
But before the session ends it is prac-
tically certain we will have to pass
sc,ae sort Of an emergency measure.
Our imports necessarily will be
greatly reduced by the wal abroad,
but we can run along probably for
three or four months, without feeling
the direct effect Of the falling off. l
have made no plans for raising ad-
ditional revenue, although it is mat
ter which we are considering, OF
course
Mr.. Underwood called attention to
the old law permitting the sale Of
Panama Canal bonds, but the Demo-
cratic party is against bond issues
when they can be avoided, and, al
though about S2OO,0OO,O00 of such
bonds might be sold, it is understood
that "war tax" is preferred by the
} Democratic leaders.
Rough estimates are that the Euro
pean war will reduce imports about
.one-third.
