out Brains.

BIGOTs STRICTLY UN.AMERICAN

Editor c. A. Windle, of Brann's
Iconoclast, pays his respects to the
Menace and its editor in his last
issue in the following manner:
In his issue for November IA the
editor of the Menace prints a front
page article in which he describes a
''Papal Parade Up Salt River"
There is little hope for a man who
is proud of his perfidy. One must
sink very low indeed in order to be
| able to glory in the infamy of having
opposed the election of an American
citizen to public office on account
of his religion.
Walker considers three of his vic
tins deserving of special mention.
The defeat of Gov. Glynn, of New
York, filled his cup of joy to the
brim.
The defeat of Hogan, of Ohio, and
Sullivan, of Illinois, for the United
States Senate, made the Aurora ed
ltor cackle hike laughing hyena.
In glib and gleeful jargon he in
forms his readers that ''the first
platoon" consisted of "rammany
tigers from the New York menagerie,
acting as guard of honor to the
political remains of Martin H.
Glynn."
He refers to prince Farley's car
riage of State and outriders in the
livery of the blessed Pope"
"Details from the Knights of
Columbus, Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans and military marplots," is
given special attention.
We then have "The Honorable
Timothy Hogan of blessed memory
walking 'am in arm with Bishop
Schrembs, of Toledo" Close at their
heels is ''Tim's goat, got some time
after the closing of the Ohio polls
and restored later minus horns and
whiskers."
Following these we see "Rev.
Washington GLADDEN., of Columbus,
Papal apologist and chaplain, spe-
cially commissioned for the retreat
ing Papal brigade Of Ohio"
The Illinois division is led by "the
Honorable Roger c. Sullivan, in the
royal motor car of Prince Quigley,
followed by priest Mullen the MUIR
derer."
Next in the parade is editor
Foley. of Quincy, hotspur of the
Alton diocese, defender of the faith,
armour bearer to st. Peter, etc.,
etc."
This is all of the disgusting rot
care to print. There is not a man
mentioned in his silly screed who
is not mentally and morally SO far
above Editor Walker that it makes
them dizzy to look down upo2 the
putrid little pismire. In all the
essentials of Americanism it would
require the quintessence of ten
thousand Teddy Walkers to equal
the patriotism in Timothy Hogan's
little finger. Father Foley, editor
the Western Catholic, forgets more
every day than the whole Menace
force will ever know. There is more
brains, honor and manhood in Roger
Sullivan than could be found In a
regiment of pinheads like Ted
Walker.
III any man knew of a sane reason
why these men should not have been
elected, aside from their religion,
he had perfect right to vote against
them. But the man who voted
against Hogan, Sullivan and Glynn
because they were Catholics is an
American in the same sense that a
boa constructor is an Eagle. No man
can be true son of Jefferson or
Lincoln who makes a mans religion
a test of his qualification for public
office.
II Editor Walker wants to engage
in something more honorable than
the business OF defeating American
citizens for office on account OF their
religious faith, let him steal pennies
from the eyes of dead niggers.
