70 tamper withl Yes, she is doing it now
in Canada. She tried e In America, but
50 far has failed. only as her boycott
intimidaies and browbcats weak man
in finance or morals. Listen TO the
proof:
At the tenth annual convention Of the
Federated Roman Catholic boyeottors,
Aug. 1924, 1911, the following rcsolu-
tion was passed "That the Federation
Of Catholic societies do enter their sol
emn protest against the mailing or Of
fcring for sale Of obscene literature IN.
cluding under this title books, papers,
writings and prints which outrage re-
liqious convictions Of our citizens and
contain scurrilous anu slanderOus attacks
upon our faith. "
This abolishes all discussion OF the
doctrines and political actions Of the
papal system. IL was clearly meant 70
exclude The MENACE aud all similar pub.
lications. Such a law II passed would
establish n religious censorship and make
euective Rome's Inder Librorum PROFIT
bitorum. This resolution was put into
the hands Of a committee TO present to
congress.
But all attempts 70 secure law under
the color Of being anxious for the morals
Of the people, by excluding obscenity
from the mails, with o Romani1ed court
TO interpret what is obscene, has miser'
ably failed. Hon. Francis j. Burk, a con
gresham, and Bourke Cochran, of New
York City, both legal lights in the papaI
church, promised to persuade congress
20 do something 20 put ont the light
which THE MENACE was pouring in upon
papal institutions and papal political
doings, because the publicity was some
thing awful. and the blaze of the search
light would certainly kill the "Nits' OF
Columbo. But congress has been un
moved. The constitution stood in the
way. and so far nothing is doing in sup
pressing a FREQ press and free speech
only as tho "Nits' have swaTmed in
mobs and howled in the darkness Of the
night.
when these boyeotters applied to oui
postmaster general and tried to have hin
act, as the Canadian official is doing, ht
plainly told them in a letter that il was
beyond his jurisdiction TO comply with
their request, that il would require some
action of congress make a law fitting

Frank II. Hitchcock. Postmaster General

The attempt 10 silence the press in
Canada is only a small part Of the
scheme Of Rome 60 capture this continent.
II the harlot Of nations can dill the
voice Of a free press, the conquest Is
made easy and safe. IL is evident that
the Jesuit has hedged in the press OF
Canada, sct bounds 10 It's utterance and
determined. in a measure, what Ian
guago tho press may or may not use.

Paul, and the Woman in Scarlet Of Rev.
Citations, can not be permitted in Canada,
and 80 THE MENAcK Is halted when it
attempts 10 cross the border.
Rome has Canada asleep and does not
propose to have her victim awakened.
She breads TO hear the voice Of prophet
in the streets Of her city, warning the
people Of an approaching crisis. Nor
will she permit an alarm TO DO sounded
OF 4 midnight cry to be uttered lest the
sappers and miners Of Rome be scared
away and free institutions remain the
safeguard Of Liberty.
Since the Concordat between France
and Rome has been dissolved, since Italy
is free and nationaliEed, and since the
old world has about repudiRted Rome 3
pretensions TO supremacy, the American
continent has become the battle-ground
Of the papacy.
The eonsummation OF Canada's hu-
initiation was effected in 1910, when
the Eucharist congress convened in Mon.
treal IN september. Rome staged a great
spectacular demonstration and com.
PEELED tho Canadian government TO do
obeisance 10 the pope. Canada was told,
and plainly told, that "when the church
teaches she must believe; when the
church commands, she must obey; when
the church is attacked, she must defend. "
SO the prime minister got down on his
knees before the envoy Of the pope and
kissed his ring. the symbol Of authority.
Since then the papacy has walked un-
afraid. That sovereignty, superior 10
kings and presidents, demanded recogni-
tion in Montreal at that congress of
Catholics and secured government recog-
milton. Today the papaey speaks through
the Postmaster General, and subscribers
to The MENACE can no longer get their
paper; indeed they get only such papers
as the papaey may zee 1T to let them
have.
Papal power has increased rapidly in
Canada. II is only short space Of time
since the Prime Minister bowed in sub
mission 10 the yoke-now the people
must obey, for Rome has commanded.
They must not think contrary 70 Rome,
must not speak their thoughts, must not
print them, or receive the printed page.
Canada thought she was free; yes, she
is free 20 20 10 the length Of the chain

An unbaptizcd baby Of Catholic par

Hell is lined with the skulls Of
babes which have never been sprinkled

One of our correspondents relates an
incident which he obseTyed in Newark
Valley, n. Y. An infant about two
months old. Of Catholic parents, died
without having been ctristened by the
priest. The parents rec icsted the burial
rites of the church and were refused by
the priest who said the babe was not fit
to be buried in the Catholic graveyard.
There rests perchanee the dust Of some
hardened criminals and libertines whose
lives were fully matnred in the arts Of
sin and shame but who at the last hour
became holy through few drops Of
water. a cracker and = few mumbled
words by the priest. OF course IL would
not do 70 eontanlinate the pious dirt Of

The story of petition-getting in
Ohio Is n of the most interesting
chapters i'm the struggle for women's
enfranchisement. Mrs. Theresa l..
Marshall of Dayton was one of the
leaders. In the contest for sigma
lures she ranked third, obtaining
about 1000 out of the whole 6,S44
secured in Montgomery county. She
obtained the names between 6 and 9
p. M, after her household work was
done.
Anything that is worth having is
worth working for, Is the philosophy
OF the doctors wife. And work she
did. At the ball parks, places OF
amusement, the movies, on the street
corners, in the hotels, Offices and
workshops. Hers was a familiar face
at the meetings of organized labor, In
the churches, at the meetings OF the
Socialist local.
On the petitions which she circu-
lated may be found n of the queer
est conglomerations Of names ever
secured by one person on a like
event. There are signatures in the
Hebrew style, the flowing ~caligraphy
OF the Greek and Italian, the formal
hand of the German, the scrawl of'the
carefree American, the lackadaisical
flow of the flop, the refined assent OF
the business mar and literati. But
above all, Mrs. Marshall points to the
fifty-seyen names of men who favored
the suffrage amendment, but who
could only place his X mark following
their names. II pitied those men,
remarked this hustling, homelike
lady, for their hearts were right.

pitied a thousand times more the 81
100000 working women of this coun-
try who are as well educated-to say
the least-who have not even the
privilege of these untutored men,"

Of President Parrett Of the Princeton
Light and Power company, was held
up by two men In a dark place near
bis home.
While q held a revolver on him
the other took his watch and pocket
book and knife. When Parrett told
them they could not get any money
on his watch they gave 1t back to him.
Later they gave him his knife and
pocketbook after removing the "a 1t
contained. They also let him examine
the loaded revolver with which he had
been held up.
Finally n said, Where's that au-
tonatic?" The other drew an eight
cen dollar pearl handled automatic pis-
toll and gave 1t TO Parrett. saying:
"Here, you can have This. We can't
get rid Of it,"
An hour before the same men had
held up Robert White, taking rs cents
and returning 80 cents when they
learned that 1t was all he had.

lieved to be working the county fairs.
