FROM THE EDITOR OF ''THE
ANTI CLERICAL WHIP"
LANCASTER, PENN.
William Hogan, Elk

Dear Sir: William Hogan, Ex-
priest, says: cit is a strange cir
cumstance, but nevertheless true,
that Americans have no difficulties
with any foreigners among them ex-
ecpt the Roman Catholics. There
are various denominations of for
eigners in the United States, but all
others enjoy the blessings of liberty
quietly and thankfully. Papists
alone are dissatisfied; they alone re-
fuse to hear to reason, and seem in
clined to govern by force. No Pro-
testant priest in the United States
has ever been known to be controlled
in the discharge of his duty by
foreign potentate. None of them
were yer known to haraugue their
flocks and march them through
American cities, with banners bear
ing the reasonable motto: "AMERI-
CANS SHAN'T RULE U.s." Popish
bishops and papists alone have dared
to do this. l have always been, and,
trust, I am now the advocate of
peace; but | will confess, that I am
at a loss to know whether there is
to be found in any code of political,
or even in moral, ethics, a single pas
sage that can justify Americans in
permitting this outrage upon their
laws and upon their national charac-
ter. 1t may be salutary inconsis
tency, a laudable apostasy, on the
part of Americans, to permit this in
suit to their country and to the
memory of their noble and patriotic
ancestors; but their ancestors, who
now sleep in their graves, were they
living and saw this Popish Flag,
with this Popish Motto, paraded by
foreign Papists over their graves,
will only say, the insult should never
be repeated there would be none
left to bear the standard. I do not
believe that from the days of Cain
to the days of Bishop Hughes, of
New York, there has ever been wit
messed SO insolent, or so inflated a
condensation of treason, as was con-
tanned in that solitary Popish motto:
'AMERICANS SFIAN'T RULE US!"
And if Americans were not a peo-
pie of singular forbearance, they
would have levelled with the ground
every Popish church, and put to the
sword every Popish bishop and priest
in the country"
Danish or hang these traitors!
Yours truly,
EZRA J. WEAVER.

WHAT A TRAVELLING MAN HAS
REALIZED.

Dear Sir: When will Protestants
get their eyes open to the actual
facts. and realize what Rome is do
ing in this land? If things are not
fast tending toward Catholic rule in
this country we are seriously mis-
taken. The shrewd, cunning, under
handed work of the Jesuit is seen in
almost every direction. The Roman
Catholic church sways politics, fur
nishes the great majority of all the
employees of the governmental de-
partments at Washington; including

MONEY is SCARCE, BUT SHE

so much from that dirty sheet that

1t is worth its weight in gold, so is

Well, Mr.. Watson, the huge hum
bug Smith, plugged his way into office
for six more years by some more of
his cunning and deceitful fa1sehoods
which he has so often betrayed those
who are fool enough to be fooled
time and again. And there is host
OF such men in Georgia. They can't
see an inch ahead. 1t is a wonder
to me that you are still standing SO
faithfully by them as their best
friend, after having been walked
over by them so often. But l do
hope yet, even long before six more
years they will believe you and see
such men as Smith, Wilson and Bry-
an in their true colors. | wouldn't
have voted for Hoke Smith if it had
taken good Office away from me
or left me penniless. No thousand
times no. I am SO tired and dis
gusted at weak kneed business
among voters and preachers and all
men that ought to stand true to prin-
ciples of good order. This is one
thing that makes you the great man
you are, you stand true to what you
believe is right. Thank God for you
and men of your type. Thank him
again and again that he still spares
you to help us poor people. o, l do
wish the people would read after you
an dsee that God has called you to
do the work you are doing and help
them to follow on to a better day,
instead of looking back to Egypt
and the old Pharaohs with their pot
tage, etc. It's Of no use to encour-
age you to fight on for blind men,

and true. I guess before they get

become such a stencil that they won't

e. j. REAGAN, THE HOKE SMITH
BOSS, WAS A "BOLTER"
IN 1896!

Dear Sir: There is being so much
said and written at this time con-
corning the Progressive party by so
Judge Reagan, Chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, that l also would like to have
a word.
Judge Reagan has been busy writ
ing cards to the public press all over
the State. In these cards he warns
all Democrats to be on the lookout
for all boilers, so that they may be
debarred from participating in fu-
ture primaries. Now, what I want
to know is, was Judge Reagan will
ing for that rule to be applied in
1896, when he was also bolter?
Did he not bolt the Bryan ticket?
Of course he did. Judge Reagan
didn't bark then. 1t was largely
through his influence in splitting the
Democratic vote in a strong Demo-
cratic county, that enabled Mckinley
to come within 4 votes of carrying the
county, and there are many who be-
lieve today that Mckinley did carry
the county. But it came to pass
that after this time Judge Rea-
gan's eyes became fastened on the
judgeship and he could not get them
off. The judge was elected by the
legislature at that time and SO the
judges record came up before the
legislative committee. Mr.. Jim
Brown, now of the Newman Herald
and Advertiser was trying to pull
the judge through at that time, he
representing Henry County in the
legislature Mr.. Brown told a friend
of mine that it was the hardest fight
be ever had The only excuse that
Reagan had was, that he voted for
better Democrat than Bryan was,
that he (Bryan) was too Populistic,
that Palmer and Buckner were the
only Democrats.
Now we see the Democrats adopt
ing practically every plank in the
Populist platform. But the funny
part of it is, Judge Reagan has swal-
lowed Bryan, Hoke, Wilson, ct. al,
and is clamoring for more. All, it's
a shame that Hamiltonian Democrats
be allowed to ride into office on
Jeffersonian principles, and then de-
sert them. Yet when the best DEM
ocrats of Georgia protest against the
wrongs that are being heaped upon
them, we see our Democratic chair
man making an ass of himself in
criticising them. Yet l believe after
cool reasoning on Judge Reagan's
part, that he will come to the con-
clusion, as the public has done, that
he is in NELL of hess.
Yours truly,
Ga. E. B. DANIEL.
P. S. If these facts are questioned
I will give authority that can't be
denied. E. B. d.

was lost in sober reflection all the
protracted tramp. Then suddenly he
arrived at conclusion.
'She seems to enjoy nay company"
he soliloquized, land I-ah! 1 must
not go on loving her if it is to only
meet with final disappointment"
Then, after further deliberate cogi-
tation, he murmured:
Eyes, l will know my fate today"
Mr.. Joyce proceeded straight to the
vine embowered cottage with its
pretty gardens grounds that shelter
ed the idol of his soul. A servant told
him that Miss Evans had run over to
a neighbours, offered to go for her
and led the caller to little summer
house where there was shade and
GOODNESS.
Mr.. Joyce sat in a comfortable rus
tic chair, though decidedly uncom-
Portable himself. He was trying to
formulate his first appearance in a
vital and unfamiliar line. The pros
pective proposal Of marriage fairly
upset his usual serenity. %
Then casually he noted writing
utensils on the little table at his side.
Rhoda had evidently brought her cor
respondence to this choice retreat to
attend to. .-
And then his eyes became fixed, de-
spite his will, upon a single page of a
letter that lay outspread and he'll fat
under an ink stand. He could not
help but trace the lines:
glad to believe this Mr.. Joyce is
a splendid man in your estimation,
but, oh, 1 cannot help but think all of
the time of my true flance.. You must
keep our engagement secret, for it is
not to be known for a year and"

denly realizing that he was viewing

reptitiously scan. He was white to

shut himself up in his darkenef
study. Z
Rhoda, advised by the servant,
came tripping towards the summer
house in culver of pure delight. She
was dismayed at the inexplicable dis$
appearance of her visitor. She did
not see him all the rest of that weeks

quired Myrtle, with her usual gossip
ing buoyancy meeting Rhoda on the
street.
Concerning what?p inquired
Rhoda.
. "Mr. Joyce. He is i'll, they say, and
Deacon Brown says he is talking of
resigning his charge"

Rhoda irrepressibly. >..
What! so far gone as that?" de-
rided her tormentor II hope they
send more impressible successor"
Rhoda went home with a strange
pain at heart. She never realized how
much she thought of Arnold Joyce
until that moment. Somehow a sug-
gestion of: mystery of trouble for the
man she respected and believed in
crossed her mind.
HE is i'll; he needs friends surely
now, If ever, reasoned Rhoda and
within an hour was at the rectory. It's
door was open, no servant appeared.
She penetrated to the corridor be-
yond and glanced into the study.
There sat Arnold Joyce at read
ing table. He held something in his
hand, his eyes fixedly regarding it.
She saw what it was-a rose, the one
she had seen him secrete.
Suddenly, sadly he crushed its brit
tie leaves to powder and murmured
the words.

A Letter Washington Wrote
Over 100 Years AGO.

Mr. William Kerr, mother of the Kerr
Brothers. the well known undertaken
and horseman. respectively was exhib-
ing 10 her friends an original letter from
George Washington. the first President.
whose birthday was celebrated in many
cities on Feb 22d. The letter was writ
ten to the Masonic Grand Lodge of Penn
sy lvania, Dec. p, 1896.
While Mrs. Kerr is unable to trace the
detailed history of The letter, which is
in excellent state Of preservation, altho'
lis years old. her grandfather James
Skinner, OF Virginia, was personal
friend of Washington, and il is through
him and son, VIM. Skinner, who was
Mrs Kerr's father, that the letter has
been handed down. VIM. Skinner was
four years old when Washington died in
1890. and the letter has been preserved
in his old family Bible for the last 100 or
more years. The letter is as follows:
Decem Der 2S. 1906.
Fellow Citizens and brothers of the
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania:
have received your address with all
the feelings OF brotherly affection, min
gled with those sentiments for the Soci-
ty. which it was calculated TO excite.
To have been in any degree an instru-
ment in the hands of providence to pro-
mote order and union and erect upon a
solid foundation the principles of govern
ment, is only to have shared with many
others in LABOR the result of which, let
US hope, viii prove through all ages a
sanctuary for the brothers and lodge

Permit me 10 reciprocate your prayers
for my temporal happiness and to sup
plicste that we may all meet hereafter
