ter to ]. R. Conroy, of Youngstown,
Ohio, and, while through some techni-
cality, attesting the difficulty of secur-
ing a verdict in libel case in Indiana,
Father Delaney did not recover the

being a liar and hbeler, one who

These few instances. among others,

1t is policy that will be pursued.
Catholics have grown sick and tired
of the campaign of vilifcation and
slander carried on against them, their
sons and daughters, who have conse-
Grated their lives to the service of
God and their fellowmen, and against
their Church. If they are what these
later-day A. P. AS call them, they will
have to prove it in the courts of the

they cannot is a foregone conclusion

BY the Rev. John Williams
(Episcopalian), Omaha, Nebr.
I cannot see for the life of me what
a mans peculiar religious confession
has to do with his fitness to represent
any district in congress or anywhere
else in political life. His personal
character should have much to do with
his being chosen as a representative of
certain political convictions, but his re.
ligious convictions nothing at all! I
write this, too late indeed to have any
possible result ON Nc, ,{Ga1g's politi-
cal fortunes in the prifhary; but not
too late, hope. to rebuke that narrow
intolerance that is seeking to make
headway more among us. Writers
and speakers all over our generous
west are seeking again to arouse the
intolerant spirit of narrow Protes-
tantism against the Roman Catholic
Church and its people by tho most
manifestIy transparent faisehoods,
nearly all of which were exploded
twenty years ago, during the A. P. A.
propaganda. Such narrow intolerance
should find no place in our generous
American life, in which a man is
judged for what he is, rather than for
the peculiar type Of religious confess
sion he processes.
