the Augusta Chronicle!
They shore did. But ever since that time,
have labored in vain to get the fearless Vic
tor to face the music
Ever since that time, the Romanist papers
have been telling their readers that I was the
man who backed down!
Does anybody doubt that Ben Burbridge
knows how Victor J. Dorr worked his game
of bluff?
Do not the members of this reasonable
secret society keep posted as to what each
separate bunch of traitors is doing?
Ben Burbridge knows perfectly we'll that
kept it there, all the time that I was ieering
at him, and daring HIM to sAoao that fourth
degree OATH or TREASON.
Ben Burbridge knows perfectly we'll that
Thomas D. Murphy has since been elected
head of the Augusta Knights, and that I
have, again and again, challenged Murphy to
show that damnable oath lie dareS not do It,
1t ever they should pretend to show any
oath, it won't be the real one. The real one
ought to subject every American who takes
it to be disqualified to vote, hold office, or
serve on jury.
Those fourth degree knights are traitors;
and the rifles and swords they have bought,
and are still buying, are bought for treas0na-
bic purposes.
No other Government in the civilized
world would tolerate, in it's own domains the
armed forces Of foreign p0te4etate, whose
very existence and whose vital teachings are
at deadly war with the Government under
which that armed force exists.
Congress broke up the Ku Klux. the white
defenders of the white mans home and civil
lization: Congress qciU haze to break up the
fourth decree HniQhts of Columbus, the
Pope's se0orn szaves, THE SWORN AND
ARMED ENEMIES or OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS, OUR DEMOCRATIC PRIN-
PIES, AND OUR FREE INSTITU-
TIONS.
IF these traitors can abridge the liberty of
the press and of speech, as they are trying
everywhere to do, it would soon be Farewell
to self government, freedom of conscience
and liberty of worship.
Judge Rufus Foster deserves everlasting
credit for his prompt dismissal of the Watson
case: Judge Learned Hand of New York is in
the same honorable class; and Mayor Van
Swearingen ought never to be forgotten for
his brave stand for free speech in jackson
vile.
These reasonable Knights of Columbus in
their midnight onspiracy meetings, as we'll
as IN their national conventions. have pledged
themselves to nullify that part Of our Consti-
tuition which guarantees us freedom of speech
and of press.
The treacherous towards know that Con
gress is forbidden by the highest law to
abridge the liberty of speech, of'press and of
public meetings; and consequently they are
working underhandedly and under cover to
force the Postmaster General to do what Con
gress cannot do They are demanding that
the Postmaster General act as Gar, and
throw out of the mails such books and papers
as fearlessly tear the cloak off the horrible
system of popery

The knights OF Columbus MAX
ing War On Our Liberties. The
Same Old POpisI1 Bluff Being
Worked i'm Jacksonville, Fla.

4 KNIGHT of Columbus comes out in a
card, denounclng Mayor Van Swearin-
gen, of jacksonville, because that coura geous
American official does not muzzle street
preacher, named Claud Shafter
1t seems that Mr.. Shafter was once priest,
and like many other decent men he abandoned
the Pope's church.
Not only that he felt it to be his duty to
expose the Pope's church to the American
people.
This he has been doing on the streets of
free American city, under permit issued to
him by the Mayor
Had he been Captain Susan-Ann of the
Salvation Army, no one would have thought
of objecting. Had he been a Socialist exec
rating the hell-hounds of Capitalism, he
would have been listened to with patience
and perhaps approval. Had he been a female
kangaroo making the night hideous with her
yells for votes, instead of for healthy hus-
band and some robust children, she might
have been laughed at but that would have
been all.
Shafter, though, talked about the Pope's
church, and that's where the pot began to
boil. You must not talk against the Pope's
church, nor his masculine virgins, nor his
power to forgive sins, nor his ability to oct
the dead out of Purgatory, nor his being the
equal of God and the ruler of all mankind; ;
nor his being the custodian of the keys and
the padlOcks which fasten and unfasten the
paarly gates.
And if you don't believe that priest can
change pan cake into the veritable BODY Of
Jesus Christ, you had better not say so where
a Romanist can hear you, else he might hit
you with something.
Having been priest, Shafter knew a great
deal; and the more an ex-priest knows the
less safe is it for him to talk on street cor
ners
Secrecy is great asset with the Pope: in
fact, it is his nest egg, as it were.
Therefore, when Shafter began to let cats
out of the bag, down there in Jacksonville,
the Pope's pack got after the cats in full cry
They also got after Shafter. The noise was
awful. Of course they threatened to kill
Shafter. That's one of the first things that
Roman Catholic seems to think about He
must kill whoever talks against the italian
that happens to be Pope. In this way, he
demonstrates the virtues of Christianity
But Shafter stuck to his knitting. and the
Mayor proved that he was a Man, and the
knights Of Columbus had to rush to the news
papers.
One Ben Burbridge came out in card,
which reminded me of one Victor j. Dorr,
of Augusta, Georgia, who also came out in a
card.
This Ben Burbridge it seems is a County
Commissioner: hence, a man of great import
ance.
Ben went slap-dashing into the Jackson
vile paper, and he said, in substance, that
anybody and everybody who had ever said
anything against the Popes church, or
against the Knights of Columbus, was liar
of the most abandoned, fagitious and pusil-
luminous character
Ben also reminded me of Victor j. Dorr in
another way. Ben said that the Knights would
cuhnnit their ritual tn tbroo prOtocto Mt

H. r. Wostbrock, of Midland
Park, Is Badly Injured at
Glen Rock.

PATERSON, April 2.--Slowly guild
ing his automobile through South
Maple avenue, Glen Rock, last night
Mayor Henry r. Westbrock, of Mid
land Park, was unable to locate the
crossing of the Bergen county short
cut. Before he was aware that he
was upon the railroad tracks his

tive of a freight train and hurled
twenty-five feet.
The machine then tumbled down a

Wostbrock was lifted from the
wrecked automobile by the train crew
and made comfortable in the caboose
pending the arrival of DIR. Charles w
Harries, of Ridgewood, who was
reached by telephone.
Mayor Wostbrock was lifted into
DR.. HAIRLESS car and taken to the
mayors home in Midland Park. He
is now under the care of DIR. Harries,

GRADE CROSSING
PLAN CONSIDERED
Central Railroads Scheme for
Lowering Crawford Tracks
Before Utility Comm.

The second hearing on the applica-
ton for the elimination of a railroad
grade crossing at Union avenue,
Crawford on the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, started shortly before
noon today before the Public Utility
Commission in their new rooms in
the Kinney building. The spirit of
cooperation between the authorities
of Crawford and the Central railroad
was marked at the hearing. A COM
prehensive set of plans of the pro-
posed elimination were in evidence,
and were explained in detail by a
railroad engineer.
1t was brought out at the previous
hearing that the proposed abolish
ment of the grade crossing was being
delayed by the objections of three or
four property owners. One of the OBJ
jectors is John Potter, of Crawford,
who owns a triangular brick building
at the intersection of Union and East
man avenues, and only a short dis
lance away from the Crawford sta
ton.
If the plans are to be carried out
this building would have to come
down. Other property owners were
present at the hearing to voice their
objections.
The plans submitted by the town
authorities and the railroad show a
beautiful park development, which In
cludes a new street and a wide and
safe approach to the tracks and sta
ton A five per cent. grade at the
crossing Is also shown in the plans.
