THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE

Editor Day Book - Would like to
answer w. Volbrecht through your
column of One Mans Opinion. He
states the Menace and the Guardians
of Liberty are the cause of Anti Cath
Ole uprising. From that take he is
one and a reader of the other, for the
two go hand in hand. What you say,
l am sorry to say is true.
1t seems too bad that large ma
jority of the people are blind. The
more you can bunk the American
people the better they like it. The
Menace reminds me of antique fur
niture in this way. Take an old chair
or table, fix it up, set it in a show
window and have a sign on it saying,
"Qneen Isabella sat in this cahir,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-11-14

this table" and the people will believe
it.
The Menace is made up of filthy
lies, for it has been proven. Take
the K. of G oath for one. Did the
Menace inform its readers that the
oath they printed, was misprint?
No, you bet they did not.
What have the Guardians of Lib
erty done? beg to differ with you,
when you say, that Catholic can
run as Guardian of Liberty candi-
date.
How about New York, Ohio, and
Omaha, Nebraska, in this last cleo
ton? Does that indicate so?
You say that the church's slogan
is Make America Catholic To that
l will say that is the first time have
ever heard that remark.
There is only one favor that a Cath
Ole in legislation can give to the
church, and that is to uphold the con-
stitutien of United States, which
gives religious liberty, which some
are trying very hard to erase.
=, If the people that read these filthy
lies would only investigate and de-
mand proof in each particular case,
and not in generaities, it would end
very quick.
Don't be sucker, for they get the
coin. What do you get?-F. M.
Powers.
MUSTN'T TOUCH
One Woman's View. - Two men
were standing near the door of an

mark was made and evidently heard

workingman, either. And he de-
serves the same punishment that the
woman gets. Now in all this reform
wave it seems that it is always the
woman they want to reform. If the
millionaires were reformed l don't
think it would hurt them, either. Now
in Miss Vittum's reform for women,
who would she get to run this insti-
tuition? l am pretty sure it would
never do to send men there to man
age it. Also, after they have been
in this reformatory one or two years
would she be willing to take one of
them in her home? / never yet saw
any woman or girl that was helped
in that way Now don't understand
me that uphold immortality. / don't.
Neither have a grudge against man,
because have a good husband and
also a good son, but if either of them
went wrong would not want the
woman punished alone. Ionce heard
a very eminent minister say that the
reason some women never went
wrong, they never had an opportu-

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, June 17.-General commits
sion selling drove down wheat values
today to the lowest prices In eight
Years. Hedging against new crop ship
ments was heavy. cables were weak,
and the crowd continued to ignore the
unfavorable effects of storms in the
harvest belt. 1t was the almost unani-
nous opinion that the promise Of a
large crop was now virtually certain
to be fulfilled. The opening which was
a shade to !. under last night was fol-
lowed by an additional decline all
around.
Corn weakened with wheat, but re-
ceived better support as country oner-
ings remained light. Better field condi-
tions had some influence with the
bears. After starting a sixteenth to a

In the oats crowd buyers were hard
