To spurn the profits that demand

And laughing still at play,

What honor thrusts away,
To keep you free from guile and greed,
Where'er your course may lie,
To do the brave, heroic deed.
Though. doing 1t, you die.

ROMAN CATHOLIC ENCROACH-
NENTS AND ROTTENNESS.

Dear Sir: Under separate cover I
am sending you copy of The Morn
ing Star, in which your paper is given
a roast with the Menace, the Peril
and other papers opposed to the Ro-
man Catholic church. The editor re-
quests all his subscribers to write
members Of Congress to have your
awful papers suppressed. In same
paper you will find letters from Cath
Olic Knights to w. ]. Bryan, Post
master General and the U. S. Senate.
Also notice the interesting account
of the miraculous medal. The New
Orleans Item which is also sent you
contains garbled account of the
case Of Mrs. Roth against Father
Scott, in which you will notice an
effort to throw discredit on the Wo-
man. Where the priest met the wo-
man is not stated either by her or
the priests defenders, but if it was in
a respectable place or a brothel does
not alter the fact that the priest got
from her $4,000 "'for investment"
IT is reported that Scott promised
to marry her and leave the church,
but when she learned she was only
one Of q dozen victims Of the willy
priest she demanded the return of
her money. Scott wrote threatening
to put her in the penitentiary if she
dared to expose him. When Mrs.
Roth entered suit, Father Scott fed
and since last spring has not dared
to return to the city. New Orleans
people i'll London early last summer
saw him there at q hotel with a wo-
man You will notice that the item
admits that Father Scott will not
dare to return to face the charge.
The woman has papers to prove her
claim. The clergy and Knights of
Columbus are doing their utmost to
discourage the woman, to discredit
her and prevent the matter coming
before the court
Yours truly,

CONTEMPT SENTENCES ARE AGAIN SET ASIDE
Labor Leaders, for Second Time, Win Victory in
 Supreme Court.

Washington, May 1.-The con- tempt sentences imposed by the Dis- trict supreme court upon Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, labor leaders, were set aside today by the supreme court for the second time as barred by the statute of Limitations.

 Justice Holmes said the case turned upon the point that the contempt proceedings should have been started within three years from the date of the committing of the offenses. He said that proceedings for contempt should be speedy and thus come with in the purpose of the statute of limi- tations, which require prosecutions within three years.
 Justices Pitney and Vandevanter dissented.

WHITMAN OPENS STATES
 CASE AGAINST BECKER
District Attorney Assails for. mer Lieutenant As Real
 Murderer of ROsenthal.

New York, May 11.-A jury to try police, charged with instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, was again completed today. Frederick A. Strock, a bookkeeper, and Frederick c. Barrett, a consult ing engineer were chosen today to take the places of men who were ex- cused on Saturday..
 It was just at noon when the twelfth juror was selected and District Attor- ney Whitman immediately began his opening presentation of the states case to the jury.
 Mr. Whitman, in his address, made no mention of the execution of the death sentence of the four gunmen and in no way suggested that the prosecution had any new evidence to present. His speech was chiefly re- view of the events leading up to and following the murder.
 Particularly the prosecutor em- phasized Becker's alleged motive for seeking Rosenthars death-the fear that the gambler would expose him as partner in his gambling esta ablish- ment.
 "The one sinister fgure-the only one of the group in~whose breast a real motive for the death of Rosenthal existed said MT. Whitman, "the man who had everything to lose should Rosenthal live-the man who had everything to gain by silencing his tongue forever in death-the man whose sworn duty it was to protect human life and property, and to en- force the law-the man who, by power which he exercised over law break CTS, was able to accomplish, as we believe he confidently expected with out personal risk, the death of the man whom he hated and whom he feared. And it is the contention Of the people that the real murderer of Herman Rosenthal, that the worst criminal of them all, is the man who, on the sixteenth of July, 1912, was a lieutenant of police of the city of New York, and who is today the pris- oner at the bar.''
 Mrs. Becker, wife of the defendant, was not in court early today, as had been her custom, but just before the last juror was selected she arrived and took a seat far to one side of the room, out of the range of vision of the jurors.
