needs the same consideration you
would give to a wild beast i'll your
house with your helpless family.
People will tell you they see nothing
to fear Who can read the Priests
oath, the cardinals and the supposed
4th degree oathg Of the Knights OF
Murder and say there is nothing to
fear. The money question, the tariff
question, and all other questions
dWindIe into nothingness compared
to this Catholic question.
Hoping that the sleeping Protest
ants Will wake up before it is too
late, I viii close by saying all honor
to Mr.. Watson for the great work
that he is doing as our historian and
a defender Of the peoples rights
against all forms Of corporations in
high as we'll as low places.
Long live the Jeff and all it's force,
let us hold up their hands by our
help in any way we can.

denounce popery, then Protestant churches
are not needed at all.
If the church of Italy and its Italian bosses,
as good enough for anyJ<kfy, IT Is GOOD
ENOUGH ron EVERYBODY.
If it ought norcr to have been protested
against, then Professionalism had no excuse FOR
existence.
If it ought evor to have been exposed,
denounced, and protested against, noe Is the
time to redouble the combat.
It has not changed: it boasts that it is
always the same: and it's invading egions are
pouring through the open doors of Immigra-
ton, and are laundering against the very
citadels of civil and religious liberty.
Protestant parents What have you done
to put your children on their guard against
popery, so that when they wander off from
home and fall into popish environment, they
will be able to resist the insidious wiles of
Rome?
It is an awful thought, that the Roman
wolves have come upon the Protestant fold,
and found the shepherds fast asleep
It is a still more awful thought that when
the shepherds awake they tell their focl1s
that the wolf is no longer a beast Of prey.
In their eyes, the leopard has changed his
spots, and the Ethiopian his skin.

This corporation buys the land, advertises
it III Catholic papers, and sees to it that none
but Catholics settle on it.
Thus popery, as a system, as being tfaas
planted JodIy, through our reckless Inlni
grafton laws.
The idea of the papists is to prevent the
Catholic immigrant from ever having a
chance to breathe free American atmosphere,
listen to American principles, and imbbe the
independent spirit which renders our coun-
try SO different from the popish parts Of
Europe
[ am heartily glad that my friend Evans
has SO boldly taken his stand on the burning
issue Of the day.
There is no question that even compares
with the supreme Importance Of fighting to
save our country and its liberties from the
fatal encroachments of popery.

He leaves heart broken wife and
three daughters-Nina, Wilmer

God never made a more honest

this world life that more richly
abounded in love and kindness and

priests
In Europe, the priests busy themselves col
Letting the ignorant rif-raff Of Roman Catho-
lie towns and shipping them to this country.
In Europe, there is a special order of
priests, named by the italian Papa. whose
business it is to tell the popish emigrants how
to answer questions when they reach New
York and apply for admission.
In New York, a special order of priests
receive these well-coached immigrants, and
ship them to Roman Catholic settlements.
These settlements have been selected by the
Roman Catholic Colonization Society.

Wants Old Man Peepul to
Back Up 7. z. w.

cay DEAR SIR: I notice that
fkHf the knights Of Murder and
HI Riots with the aide of the
Rotten Politicians have sue
ceeded to again have you in
djcted.
Nearly two years ago, just after
your first indictment wrote letter
calling on the Jeff readers to come to
your aide and headed the list with
ten dollars, and every one knows how
nobly the Jeff readers responded to
the call. Not only did the readers Of
the Jeff, but others who believed that
you were right and was being perse~
cuted for telling the truth. We are
going to win this fight against Rome
and her Italians, or we are going
down in one of the bloodiest defeats
the world has ever known, and he
who thinks different is only deceiv-
ing himself. Come again dear read
ers of the Jeffs and all sympathizers
in this cause. Lay aside each week
as God has prospered you and let us
consecrate it and lay it on the altar
of truth as God has shown it to us,
to the freedom Of speech, freedom of
conscience, freedom of the press that
our forefathers fought for, the pro-
lection of our free schools, and the
use and reading Of the Bible therein.

THIS is an age Of unparalleled shifting

U. s. BUSINESS IN

So President Wilson Declares, In Statement Issued At
 White House.

Washington. June 1-President Wilson today again expressed his con xiction that any present unsat atisfactory condition in business was not general but was less felt in the United States than any other part of the world. The President does not believe the tariff has anything to do with the depression in business. Secretary Redheld's stat istfcs of reports of imports was cited as proof.
 Discussing the Clayton trust bill. the President said he did not understand the act was designed to grant to labor organizations any privileges they do not now enjoy. It is the purpose of the act. as he understands it, to define the rights Of labor organizations more ,cIearlv and remove any doubt of their rights which has been created by various court decisions.
 It is not the understandings of the President that labor organizations are to be given any privileges denied to other organizations
