why Do Roman Catholics Take
OFF Their Hats i'm Passing
One OF Their Churches

= ONE time ago, Methodist preacher said,
at public meeting, that he would like
to see the Protestants initiate the Romanists
IN lifting the hat to the meeting-ho
OF course he did not know aohY the Catho-
lie takes off his hat
The reason is this
In the Romanist church, and inside little
receptacle which they call the tabernacle, the
priest keeps some of the pancake which he
has changed into Jesus Christ by talking
Latin to it.
Some of this pancake God is always on
deposit in that little box, or cabinet called
the tabernacle
Therefore God is always bodily present
and bodily visible to the naked eye in every
Roman Catholic church.
Consequently, devout Catholics passing one
of their God-factories remove the hat, as a
token of respect to the Almighty.
This is literally true, as any educated
Catholic will tell you, but of course that
Methodist preacher did not know it,
might have explained this thing earlier,
had | not been waiting for Dear Doctor
Lovett. of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate,
to set his Brother right.
Lest you should think that I am joking,
quotation from recent number of Roman
Catholic magazine will be laid before you:
Is it absolutely necessary for Catholic to raise
his hat in passing Catholic Church?
Not absolutely necessary under pain of sin, but

Some Random T'houahts. -

NEAR SIR: If the war thousands of miles
- distant affected the price of a staple crop
grown almost exclusively in the United States
ana where two-thirds of said crop is manufac-
cured annually-until there was no market for
the heecy staple would the price be conversely
high had the disturbance been confined to the
United States alone?
Again, II the war in Europe furnishes an ex-
cause for the mulcting of the citizens of the IT, S.
to the extent of a hundred million dollars an
nually hereafter, what would have been the war
taxes had war occurred in the United States?
If the Merchant Marine which the wise men in
washington have vowed for years we did not
need could sneak an emergency shipping legisla-
ton bill through Congress for protection and
appropriate thousands Of dollars for the benefit
OF few rotten old hulks belonging to non-resi-
dents, why couldn't the same energy and haste
be shown for protection of the resident interest
OF our Southern country? Has the South no rep
resentat1Yes in Congress just at present, and
where are the bloated statesmen who bel
loving worlds Of promises on the stump Just a
few weeks ago-just previous to the primary cleo
tlon-We believe heard promises of twelve
cents cotton protection by the Government?
If the U. s. Government could appropriate mil
lions of dollars ''constitutonaHy'' for the con-
struction of railway in an almost ice bound
desert with white population of only few
hundred persons, why is it unconstitutional
to appropriate a like amount for the protection
of commodity that per-se furnishes as good or
better collateral than any crop grown-or for
that matter the best collateral that can be fur
nished by any one?
Old Mr.. Trusty (High Cost of Living) must
still be enthroned in the saddle in Washington,
and the people "be d policy is rampant
now than ever before evidenced by the insatia-
bic propensity for eXtorting from those who have
not to give. Will the common people bear the
burden forever without throwing the money
changers out?"

revenue. Instead of decreasing the outgo.
they increase the income.
That's all there is to it. They have squan-
dered a hundred million dollars more than
any administration ever spent, and they made
all these lavish appropriations before there
was any whisper of war.
In all directions, they increased salaries
and departmental expenses. In no depart
ment were useless offices abolished, or extrava-
gance cut down.
The two lawyers who are now engaged in
running the State Department for Bryan
(Wambaugh and Scott are but sample of
the extra employees and extra expenses that
characterize every branch of the service.
AS everybody knows, our Merchant Marine
was destroyed by our Tariff system and navi-
cation laws
1t Is now proposed that the Government
use S25,OOO,OO0 of public money, to finance
the ocean business Of the Neao York Ship
6uizdi2ag Trust!
The same Southern Congressman who find
the Constitution in the way of the help asked
bv the farmers, not only voted for this $25,-
100000 Job, but also for the 1913 100000 Pork
Barrel for creeks, rivers and harbors; 500
100000 for automobile boulevards and $685.
O00,O0O for the Alaskan railroad
Many Of these same Southern Congressman
voted for the $4,000 for the Negro Exposi-
ton at Richmond and $800000 to build new
houses for the Italians of Sicily, whose homes
had been ruined by the earthquake
They are the same men who are ready to
vote for Bryan's criminal bid for the Roman
Catholic vote in 1916-the bid is the S25,-
100000 which he has agreed to give to Co.
lombla on account of the Panama separation.
AS an example Of how tbs Democratic adj
ministration is doing business, it paid the
Southern Pacific Railroad $4,000 for haul
ing Mexican prisoners, from Fort Wingate
to Eagle Pass while there was the national
bridge at El Paso, and all that the Mexicans
had to do to get home to the state from which
they fled was to acazb across the bridge.
Evidently, the railroad needed the $4,000.

WARNING I!

We would again urge the Jeffersonian
friends not to risk money in the open mails,
unless letter is registered insured.
In the past two weeks complaints reached
this office of the nOn-deliyery of two letters,
each with Greenbacks in them, one from
Louisiana and the other from Alabama
Neither letter ever reached the Office of The
Jeffersonian Publishing Company.

(ANSWER.)

The war in Europe has been used for specu-
lative purposes by the powerful Wall Street
interests that elected Wilson and control him.
He is the best controlled President we have
ever had.
Everybody knows that our people would
consume all of our cotton, if they had the
money to buy what they want.
The war has not lowered the price of cot
ton goods, or any other manufactured pro-
ducts
Why? Because the Trusts are able to hold
their commodities until they get their price.
Cotton goods are as high as ever They
mag 90 higher Hats, shoes. clothing, blank
cts, Irvine, &C., are as high as ever.
They are controlled by the Trusts, and the
Trusts which make these goods own the banks
to which Wilson, McAdoo and Williams have
given the hundreds Of millions of dollars of
emergency money.
The New York World asked, ''What is tbs
emergency currency for?"
The Money Trust and Manufacturers
Trusts virtually answered.
ut IS for US!"
They got it: the Democratic administra-
ton gave the Republico- Democratic Trusts
all of the deposits and all of the new money:
the Trusts kept it.
They have used it among themselves, partly
in a holding movement which keeps their stuff
off the market until the prices suit.
The farmers could do the same thing, if the
Government did not treat them like so many
yellow dogs;
The war which most hurts the farmer is
that which the Spectators, the Loan Sharks
and the Privileged Interests wage. This war
here at home, is what prostrates the farmers.
If the European war is the sole cause of his
misery, why is it that everything he must buy
costs as much as it did before the war?
Those war taxes are subterfuge to cover
up the shortage caused by Democratic ex-
traVagance. They have spent more than the

Return From Eastern Trip.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Keith re-
turned from their eastern trip last
Friday evening. While they passed
through several states their stay was
almost entirely confined to Cincin-
natl, Ohio, and Latonia, Kentucky.
Latonia is one of the racing centres
of the United States and from June
18th to July 4th of each year six
speed events are staged daily at the
track at that place. Mr.. Keith
stated to a Union reporter that crops
in the east were no more advanced
than they are in Minnesota. He
also said that lack of confidence
in the present national administra-
tion prevailed, consequently indus
trial conditions were not very prom
Using. This section of the country,
he said, is far more prosperous than
