One of Our u. S. BattleShipS
Used AS a Print-ShOp and
PPesS-rOOm For a Roman
Catholic Publication!

THE law Of this land guarantees freedom
of worship, and freedom to not worship.
But this law is not binding on Roman
Catholic priests, who are taught that free
dom of conscience and of Bible reading is
deadly sin.
Wherever the priests are in CONTROL they
force the pope's superstitions upon the help
less
The priests do this on our battle-ships,
where the Catholic chaplains have been made
officers, at salary of So, 900 year.
These priests are sworn to persecute Pro-
testants, and they are sworn to obey for
eign ruler, to-wit, the italian Pope.
Yet this Democratic Administration has
changed the law in their favor, so as to make
them the commanders Of our 6attZeships du'-
eng certain days.
On those days, these Papal subjects whom
we pay $4,000 apiece, compel Protestant sail
ors to attend Catholic worship, and to keep
the Catholic fasts.
But I did not know that these Roman Cath
Ollie chaplains haze been allowed to turn our
6attzeships into Papaz prOpagandists, By u.s.
ing them as print shops, for popish literature
That astounding fact is communicated in
letter which follows and which tells the tale
with sufficient fullness.
I will only add that the Chaplain John J.
Brady calls his popish magazine the "Pa4"i8b
Monthzy' and that the U. S. battleship, Ohio,
is TIE PARLSH.
The magazine is chocl full of rotten popish
dope and lies, about 'the Virgin"
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 20, 1914.
My Dear Sir: Many of my friends we'll
myself enjoy reading your Magazine and paper,
The Jeffersonian. We feel that you right in
all your writings, and desire to express sim
appreciation of your courage and fearless
ness in your publications.
The enclosed handed to me by gunner
in the U. S. Navy, stationed at Philadelphia and
on of the battleships at Leage Island.
They have their press aboard the U. S.. S. Ohio
and print the enclosed probably at Government
expense
The priest who edits and publishes it is new
1t is hard to think that the Secretary of
the Navy would permit such pamphlet to be
published of battleships and circu-
lated among the sailors.
1t makes American blood boil to know and
what they permitted to do.
With best wishes for your continued success
and ultimate triumph in the good work, I re-
main. Yours truly, T. w. G.

THE .JEFFERSON
The Supreme Court of MaSSa-
chuSettS Passes On Another
Maria Monk Case.

the case OF Carlna OeTSatS Beaven, IN ne
Northeastern Reporter9
The decision was handed down by the SUI
preme Court of Massachusetts,, on October
oath. 1914.
The case is new and yet old. 1t is new in
that it is the most recent exposure Of the i'm
morality of a bachelor priesthood 1t is old,
In that it accords with the putrid record which
these bachelor priests have always made, ever
since Pope Gregory VII. determined that the
Papacy should have the service of men who
had no family ties and affections
In this Massachusetts, case, priest named
Petrarca, and ach0 aOas hn0a0m to has bishop
TO be bad, zustfM man, was appointed to a
parish, where he had power over young
women.
One of these women was Is years old and
she excited the carnal desires of the bachelor
priest.
This young Catholic woman was in the
Sacred Heart" church, doing duty at the
altar, alone, when the priest came out of his
private room, (the vestry) seized her, and
dragged her into the uestry, AND RIPPED
HER, IN the Sacred Heart church building.
There seems to have been no dispute about
the facts The Supreme Court assumes that
Petrarca did ravish the girl in the sacrilegious
manner alleged.
But she sued the Catholic Bishop who had
appointed Petrarca. Her case proceeded
upon the idea that the Bishop (Beaven) hneaO
Petrarca's lustful character, and was there
fore legally responsible for what he did IN
the position aohere the Bishop put him.
Upon the same theory, the law holds you
and me responsible, if we knowingly place
vicious dog, or bull, or horse where it can
lnjure other people, without fault on their
part
That principle is sound, in morals and in
law.
In the case Of Bishop Beaver it especially
applied, because the Catholic women of the
congregation had right to feel certain that
their Bishop would not knowingly put them
IN the power of priest whom he k11eaO to be
vicious.
But the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
stretched the law, and saved the Catholic
Bishop.
In the dicesion of the Court, it is held that
the Bishop could not have anticipated that
Petraraca would do more than to seek to
seduce the women of his parish into acts OF
adultery, or fornication."
According to this amazing language of the
highest Court in old Massachusetts,, the Bishop
would have been party to the crime, had he
sedmced the Carini girl, instead of rapinq her!
The Supreme Court says that this Catholic
Bishop placed Catholic parish, and lot Of
Catholic women and girls, in the power of
priest whom the Bishop knew to be immoral,
and whom the Bishop knew would attempt
to seduce the maids and have sexual relations
with the married women.
Good God What about the Catholic
women who had already been the partners Of
this priests vices?
Was the Bishop going to continue to give
this lustful priest free rein-so long as
nothing leaked out?
Was this Bishop and this priest among the

THE question of whether or not we are to have licensed saloons in Brinkley will be settled next week and which ever way the Court decides should be a final action on the matter. It's purely a question of facts and it is pretty easy for Judge Trice to determine the facts in the matter. If the saloon people have complied with the requirments of the law and, with the signatures of women, have a majority of the adult white inhabitants real citizens of Brinkley-then let the Judge issue the license but if the law hasn't been complied with and if they do not have the requisite majority of signers to the petition there is no one that expects that license will be granted. Judge Trice will handle the case accordingly to the law and surely no good citi- zens can complain at this.

NO LONGER A LUXURY
Not Only a Health Necessity, But Con- stitute a Most important
 Civic Asset.

One of the latest cities to secure general plan reports, joining in with the leading American cities in secuF- ing such general schemes of develop ment, is New London, Conn. The re port, pre-, ;nted by John Nolan, of Cam bridge, formerly of Philadelphia, con tains the following reasons why New London and every city should acquire parks:
 There are at least four reasons why New London should now act in a large way in acquiring and improving land for use as parks and playgrounds. CD Property is steadily increasing in value It is not likely to be cheaper than it is now. (2) Once bought, park lands increase in value. All other pub lie works depreciate. Parks apprecf ate. (3) Parks pay for themselves. or more than pay for themselves, by ma king new real estate values. Some ex- amples in support of this statement are given in the appendix. (4) A sound park policy, vigorously pushed by pub lie authority, soon brings rich gifts from private individuals. The history of American city parks furnishes much evidence in support of this tendency. Cities that own few parks seldom re- ceive gifts of parks. On the other hand, cities like Hartford. Conn.,, that have long and honorable record in public park-making, have an equally long and honorable record of private gifts for parks.
 Parks are no longer considered a luxury by growing American cities. They are classed with streets and sewers and schools as a necessity. They contribute directly to health and efficiency, to pleasure and economic wealth. Moreover, they stir and nour- ish civic pride"

Looking Ahead In Bfinkley

Next week the County Court will decide whether or not the licensed saloon shall be in Brink ley for the year 1914.
 When the decission comes let every loyal Brinkley citizen make up their mind to abide by the verdict and get down to their work for a Bigger, Better Brinkley at once.
 There is no reason for a falling out and having bitter personal or factional feeling. It is out of place for any one to find fault with anyone else because they did or didn't sign the saloon petition.
 The question now is merely ONE OF FACTS. If the saloon men by the help of Brinkley women have a legal majority, let lem have the licensed saloon. If they havn't, and here's hoping they havn't, then it is very plainly up to them to abide the results of their own failure and join with and abide by the will of the majority. That's good citizenship and surely there is no one who will contend that it isn't.
 Brinkley's future must be cared for. There are conditions arising now which are most vital to each and every property owner in the city, Unless these conditions are met and disposed of in the right way our munich pality will be in the same miser- able and disgraceful condition which has befallen the affairs of Monroe county.
 The time has arrived for some thing to be done and the busi- ness men and property owners of the city should get together and understand that all of our interests are induitical and de- mand at this time, a most care full and efficient business admin istration.
 What ever the decission is next week, let the thinking men and woman of the city guard we'll their utterance an join to- gether in a long strong pull for . better Brinkley.

ID MAKE SEA SAFE
Remarkable New Invention Is Wireless Long Listance Mirror.
It's Purpose Is to c ,nvey an Image in the Same Manner That Sounds Are Now Communicated to Dis
 tant oints.

New York.-A re remarkable invention pregnant with useful possibilities is the wireless long-distance mirror It's purpose, in brief, is to convey an inn age in the same manner that sounds are now communicated.
 It is a radical improvement on the old-time camera obscura, a structure in which the real image of an object is projected upon white table or oth- CT plane surface. Not only does the new apparatus reflect on a mirror all objects located and all happenings oc- curing within a much greater area than the camera obscura, but 1t oper- ates at night.
 Just how the machine works has not yet been revealed, but the machine is known to consist of a web of wires at tached to tall mast, and it is this web of wires which receives the i'm pressions and projects them on the mirror located at the base of the mast.
 The principal value of the new ap- paratus will be in it's application to chips. It is expected to prevent col lisions with other ships, icebergs or derelicts by disclosing the where abouts of such dangers to the lookout long before the vessel comes within striking distance. The image of every object within radius of two or three miles Is thrown on the mirror, and at night or in fog the value of such an apparatus to the mariner could hardly be overestimated.
 It is claimed, too. that the long dis tapce mirror would prove ,a staluabae aid to armies in time of war, reveal ing the wheFeabouts and movements of the eenmy in manner which

FARMERS SHOULD ADVERTISE
Local Newspaper Affords Excellent Means for Disrosing of Products
 to City Folks.

The local newspapers aHord the farmer a means of disposing of farm products sn a par with it's value to the local merchant. But the farmer must make proper use of it's columns or the expense will be another of the many leaks that the farmer suffers from, writes C. T. Chamberlain of Michigan.
 My neighbor raised ten bushels Of early potatoes more than he used dur ing summer and fall, and required for seed. Potatoes for eating purposes brought 75 cents per bushel. My neighbor paid one dollar peck for seed and he decided to get some of tsis expense money back. Instead of selling them for 75 cents he put them down in his dry cellar and the next spring advertised them in the local daily thus:
 Last summer paid four dollars the bushel for my early Five Weeks potatoes. The dealer said if planted them in April I could have them to eat in mid-June and he told the truth. I have few of those potatoes to spare and I'll cut the price in two for my neighbors. Get them at once, two dollars per bushel."
 This ad. was run three days for one cent a word-or 1t would have been had not the farmer cancelled it the second day. He sold out the first day and could have sold three times as many.
 Another man has named his farm and sells every article of produce un- der this name. It is guarantee of quality as patrons know and he could sell much more than his seventy acres will produce.
 This man sells to small city mar ket, 5000 population. and delivers his produce.

Kirby And Clarke Exchange Notes

THE senatorial fight is about to be on in earnest. Senator Clarke who was challenged by Judge w. F. Kirby few months ago to meet him in joint debate has at last decided to get in" and wrote Judge Kirby to that effect this week. Judge Kirby ac- knowledged receipt of MT. Clarke's communication in the following manner.
 Your letter of the Ed inst. expressing a desire to open negotiations looking to a joint senatorial campaign, has.s been handed me by your messenger.
 Having attacked your record, aud made some charges, including the one that you!kept Charles l.. Watkins, manager of your street car systeml in Ar genta, upon the government payroll and paid him $10, ,056 from the government treasury while he was on the job as such manager in Arkansas, I thought it fair to have a joint discussion, and accordingly invited kyou to join me in Benton county. You then declined this, saying your presence was required in Wash- ington City, although you had been in the state for].a month past.
 Since then you have. admit ed, in your statement .in the Arkansas Gazette of Sunday, November 30th, 1913, that the charges made against you:in my announcement circularlare true, and there are no issues now be- tween us requiring a joint cam paign.
 In addition, you are person. ally discourteous andluncivil to me, having refused toJ speak when l last spoke to you and, under the circumstances, a joint discussion could not but besmost unpleasant and disagreeabie, and conductive neither to party har- mony nor the public interest.
 Il, therefore, do not now in- tend to engage in any such dis cussion at all during the cam paign, and leave you to go your way alone, explaining your record as seems best to you. and l will go mine and take care of my interest"
