A Roman Catholic Methodist

Up IN Burt, Iowa, " n man--a Meth.
odist, who takes great pains in his little
paper 90 abuse THE MENACE. He thinks
by joining the pack bowling for the
blood Of The MENACE he will find spe-
cial favor with the wolves Of Rome. But
we understand the motive Of the Monitor,
and pity the cringing attitude Of the
editor. The pressure on him must be
awful 70 compel a Methodist TO kneel 20
Rome and kiss the pope's toe. The her.
archy dcspises the Methodist church, and
not long since, Archbishop Ireland poured
out his yials Of wrath against Methodists
in particular and Methodism N general.
Can the Roman Catholic church curse
other churches, call the constitution a
fraud. and say "To hell with the govern.
mcnt, IL opposed 20 Rome, as is France,
Belgium, Italy, Mexico, England and
Germany, and The MENACE remain

No indeedi
Can they say that no man outside Of
the Catholic church can be saved; can
they tell US that self government is an
error aud the right Of private worship
and private Judgment very wrong, and
everybody meekly bow 10 the papal con.

Not in Amcricai

deny any man or set Of men "the right

what Romcs does now and always has

priostcraft he win find IL in the 23rd
chapter Of Matthew.
Yes, We are determined 10 spread as.
content and war against the Jesuit with
his boycott and modern inquisition and
papal political rule. We want 20 put
stop TO the traitors trying 10 pull down
our system Of public education. Thcy
are disloyal who want 10 substitute papal
parochial schools for the system OF ma.
tiopal education.
Yes, Christian people are reading THE
MENACE-how many are reading your
sheet, Bobbyi The very best people in
the United States-tens OF thousands
are reading the paper that is opening the
eyes OF the nation, TO the humiliation Of
President Wilson, who has 70 reckon with
the papal traitors in congress. A paper
lihe Ahc MoWtoIs pubilhned IN ittrlouc
Iowa, by a cringing political Methodist,
ought TO have scant patronage from pa.
triotie people. Meanwhile, calling THE
MENACE q liar, without offering any
proof, is . cheap way Of serving the
Jesuit who has been driven from every
civilized nation on the globe. You had
better cut the string worked BY these
cunning traitors and become a real Meth.

THE MENACE, Aurora, No.
Gcutlcmen;-I received your letter Of
Dec. 9th, and found enclosed a circular
alleged 10 have been signed by me, con.
tradicting statements previously male
10y me rs 70 the guilt Of r. V. REYNOLDS
Of numbering my son, Victor Lamar.
Once before, about four years ago, IN
a newspaper published at Chandler, Okla,
where REYNOLDS presided rs a Catholic
priest before coming 10 Los Angeles.
there came % my notice publication
with the same end in view which tbs
circular indicates.
This circular Is a complete 1or1erv.
and I hare Hcrer changed my mind as 10
the guilt Of y. =. Reynolds.
/ never could get n warrant for the
arrest Of Reynolds on the charge / made
against him, and consequently he was
never brought to trial for his crime.
w. LAMAR, los AHgsles, Calf.
You will observe from the above
correspondence that this priest Of the
Roman Catholic church, in good
standing, practicing his profession in
Las Vegas, Nevada, L. 5. A., is not
only an alleged murderer, but that
he is also n liar and a forger, and
that he would resort TO anything 10
hold his job and continue his game
of graft and deception on the good
people Of Las Vegas.
Win the people stand for this
priest in the light Of these revela-
tions, or will they make it so hot for
him that he will have TO change his
name and location and apply to the
bishop for promotion.
1t is Reynolds move, and THE
MENACE Is going TO see that he
makes it right array. Readers of
The MENACE in Las Vegas will
please keep tab on this gentleman's

selves accordingly-that is, report
developments as rapidly as they ap-
pear.

Turn The Traitors Out

They control the labor unions, or get up

which Rome hates and will destroy them IL

horse with tho factions. They have cut
the republican party In two and are

They have wrought havoc with the ma

Take the public school system. IL is

Why, then, Rome's teachers in the
