the following resolution was adopt
ed:
Whereas fearful tragedy was
enacted in the home of physician in
the village of Freeport and woman
and mother was shot down while in
professional consultation; and
Whereas, another woman was ar
rested, accused of the cold blooded
murder and submitted to the chagrin
and disgrace OF arrest and imprison-
ment and the gruelling ordeal of trial;
and
Whereas, an instrument known as
the dictograph was in the home in
which the murder occurred and had
been used by the accused woman;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members
Of the Bonny Cripple Club of Rock
willie Center condemn the use of the
instrument by wives, husbands or
business houses and advocate the nur-
turing of confidence between man and

nOunced that the same women and |
one other are looking forward to the
arrival of the stork in the near flu
ture. The members of the club now
have % children.
"The Carman case was a shock to
every home and a lesson at the same
time said one of the members. eve

ried physicians There is now the
mortal dread of the dictograph be-
cause OF the possible misintrepreta-
tion of what may be heard over it."

One hundred and fifty dollars day is the
amount Lloyd is being paid by the liquor in
terests to go over the State of Illinois bolst
ering up the rotten saloon cause. In order to
elevate the saloon he says the { a h o | / c
Church is the father of the saloon. This is not
statement of fact. The American saloon is
a modern institution. The Catholic Church
had nothing to do with originating it. The
American saloon is in class by itself. No
other country has produced its like. Where
the American saloon exists. in other COun-
tries it is known imported institution
and is called the American saloon or Ameri-
can bar.
In 1906, the econd Plenary Council of the
Catholic Church held in Baltimore, placed a
stigma upon the American saloon and called
upon pastors to frequently warn their flOckS
to shun the salo on In 1884, the Third Plen-
arv Council of Baltimore called upon Cath
olics to get out out of the saloon business.
The late Very Rev. a. p. Doyle, c. S. p,
branded the American saloon a drunkard
factory. Many priests have called it a gate
to hell.
1t is an outra geous insult to Catholics to
name the Catholic Church as father or spOn-
sor in any way for the American saloon
OF the three Cardinals in the United
States the LIQUOR interests quote only one
Cardinal Gibbons-but they do not tell all
that the Cardn al said. The Cardinal while
against prohibition, favOrS local option he
gives the pledge of total abstinence to all
children that he confirms. He says children
should be taught the effects of alcohol upon
the human system. At liquor dealers con
ference in Danbury, Conn. a speaker made

a few priests in their own parishes advo-
cate the wet side, but their number is in
significant compared to the total number.
The liquor interests can not quote more
than eight ten priests in their advertise
ments-eight or ten out of I7,045.

Ole, should resent the insult that Lloyd and
the liquor interests offer he Catholic
Church and the Catholic people of the Unit
ed States. The liquor interests place h e
Catholic Church in a false light before the
people
Archbishop Ireland in Temperance Truth,
published by the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union, said: in the convictions of the
American people, and plain matter of
fact, the American saloon is a personitlca-
ton of the vilest elements in our modern
civilization. 1t means, in menace and in
actual work, death to virtue, to piety of soul,
to peace of faml ", to the material, moral and
