THEY ARE NOT EVEN FAIR

Protestants do not ask that Ro-
man Catholic news be excluded from
the papers. THE MENACE does not
ask it. All we ask is an open field
and fair treatment.
That there is not the slightest de-
sire on the part of the editors of the
daily press TO even be fair is evi-
denccd by their treatment Of this
publication. Unless they can abuse
THE MENACE in some manner il is
never mentioned-yet we get col
umn after column in the daily pa
pers.
The daily press will take up a
Roman Catholic lie about THE
MENACE and use it until it is musty
with age, but when we publish a
refutation and send it forth to the
world through the columns of THE
MENACE YOU never see n line about
It in the daily papers. They only
publish the one side Of the con-
troversy, which shows that they are
cowardly, dishonest or are accepting
pay from the Roman Catholic hier-
archy for telling lies and covering
the tracks of a criminal and lech-
erous bunch of priests, prelates and
white slayerS. Either charge is
sufficient TO disqualify a man as a
citizen IN all that the term implies.
and should be enough TO cause the
honest man to discontinue his pat
ronage to the daily press. You can
live without them-any man can
live without having a mess of lies
and Misrepresentation spread be-
fore him morning, noon and night.
Only a few weeks ago the Asso-
ciated Press, an adjunct TO the
Roman Catholic machine. carried
the Stage and Megonegal story in
which it was charged that The
MENACE originated the so-called
Knights of Columbus oath, scat
tered it broadcast throughout the
country and then confessed that it
was a libel. MENACE No. 149 car
ried the facts as they are and
showed that it was doing nothing
more nor less than trying to be hon

Next 10 the bi-pcdal ass who BE-
lieyes that a Tum-soaked priest Of
the pagan Catholic church Uan
change a pancake into God and a
goblet Of wine into the real blood OF
a crucifed saviour, l place the
pseudo-Protestant who thinks that
Roman Catholicism Is religion-the
ignorance of the two Is on a par and
/ have Just as much respect for the
one as for the other, if not little
moro.
Furthermore, the daily newspa-
pers of the United States, their
great news gathering agency, the
Associated Press, and the weak
kneed Protestant and Masonic press
which is ready at all times 10 do
the dirty work for the Roman Cath
ole thugs who are at the head Of
the Inquisition, and who are out for
the blood Of every man who dares
10 call attention TO their hellishness,
are criminals after the fact and are
dirtier, if any difference, than the
Romish thugs themselves.
So far as the daily press is con-
cerned, the people have no rights
whatever that they feel obligated TO
respect in the least degree. They
are either in league with the paplsts
10 make America Roman Catholic
or haven't conscience and manhood
enough to stand for the right and
face the Romish boycott as a con-
sequence.
The news Of patriotic orders;
Masonic, l. o. o. L. and other fra
ternal orders, of Protestant church
es and societies; Of great educa-
tional movements; of patriotic con-
ventions and assemblies; in fact of
all Protestant and truly patriotic af-
fairs; is no longer given to the
public.
In place Of news, we have Cath
olic ad sheets; daily bulletins re-
garding the health of the pope;
large pictures Of saints shin-bone
parades in the foreign sections; col
umns of attacks by Catholics on all
good systems of education; on the
public schools, socialism, Christian
Science, the study of Eugenics, in
fact attacks on all educational
works considered by a great major
ity as proper and for the good of
humanity; to say nothing Of the nu-
merous announcements Of soclals,
wakes and orgies of the allied So
cieties dedicated and devoted 10 the
Roman Catholic hierarchy.
And We buy the papers and pay
for the ads. Where Is The PrOteS-
fdRt patriotism and manhood of the
Signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence aud of the trainers Of the

MAKING GOOD THEIR BOAST
Rome has boasted time and again
that she is in control of the press
and it begins to appear that her
statements are true. She boaSted
several years ago that she would get
in control of the press and use it for
the purpose of making America
Catholic, and it would appear that
she is succeeding in her designs. As
n sample Of this boasting we quote
the following from the published ad-
dress of Priest Vim. T. McGinnis, |
ut the Roman Catholic Missionary |
Congress held in 19Os-fiye years
ago:
We want TO make of the press Of this /
country a positive agency in the dissent |

order to insure its success !. beg the CO. 4

United states and Canada. II the far
reaching value Of this move Is apprc
ciaied by our own people there Is no reason
WHY this column and n half Of matter
might not appear In every city Of the
land. | might add that We make no
claim 20 extraordinary merit in the
copy that We sapply gratis TO the
press, but the Notes and Comments -
appearing at regular intervals will give
TO the general public definite ideas about
the church and the work that shc is per.
forming in the world Of today. These
notes deal with such topics as the con.
version of some distinguished scholar,

physical science, archaeological disc0y.
cries BEARING upon Christian doctrine, i'm.

preciatcd this service will become

pathy for things Catholic TO many mil.
lions Of readers for whom today the
great Catholic Church is an unknown,
mysterious organization.
In view of the above statement
this "holy dad" must certainly look
upon the press Of the country today
with some degree of pride, for there
Is not daily paper of any conse-
quence in the nation today that is
