The proposed merger OF the

She has not only had to suffer the loss of

Of her chastity, and to picture her as having

In their nercenary campaign to save vile

''The 4th Degree Oath of the
knights of Columbus"

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of foreign power, I have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
Get my pamphlet and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents.
This question of Popery is the most import
ant question now facing the people of
America.

Apparently The Menace Was
E,z2gE q DEDGGEo

I3E prosecutions which the knights of
Columbus have brought against several
Protestant editors look queer to me- In each
case, there have been signs of frame-up,
OF a sell out.
For instance, when Jim Flaherty, Chief
Traitor Of the X. Of c.. prosecuted the printer
and the barber in Philadelphia, it not only
seemed that the valiant jim picked out the
weakest foes he could find, but that he
monIzeyed with their lawyer
The case hung fire whole year, and then
Jim appeared in court made a pathetically
patriotic speech, telling the Judge how wicked
Il was for mankind to doubt the pure Ameri-
c2nism Of those Americans who are bound by
oaths OF allegiance to a foreign potentate.
After Jims plaintiye voice had sunk into
silence, the printer and the barber agreed to
enter d technical plea Of SIRE do not c0ntend;"
and they were turned loose, without any fine.
or imprisonment.
Immediately, the Pope's American papers
began to shout loudly and ioyfully over the
"vindication" Of the jim Flaherty gang.
Then the knights hoped on J. E. Hos
ner, of the NIanllato, Mich, Journal, because
be printed an affidavit of Mary Lasenan, the
escaped nun.
The story is in substance the same as those
that have always come out when clustered
converts are suddenly uncovered
1T is because the concealed facts sustain the
stories, that The knights and the bachelor
priests object to the State inspection of these
polluted houses.
What does yoar common sense tell you IS
bou22d to happen, qr6cn lot Of htsty 6ache-
lars are gi0en sole custody Of q lot Of 6upomo
MINIS?
Nature is nature, you know.
But in the Hosmer case, his lawyer does
not appear to have pleaded the privilege of
the press, or to have exhausted the resources
OF the law in securing the testimony of Mary
Lasenan.
So far as I have been able to learn, Hos

why Should Yo0Rg Women
Who Want 10 Give SEER
Lives TO Religion" Be
Locked Up For Life?

THERE are $4,000 American girls and
women who are now held prisoners be-
hind the convent walls and dungeon doors of
the Roman Catholic Church.
The able bodied bachelors who tote the keys
to those converts defy the American people,
and say, that the State shall, not inspect those
prlsonpens of the foreign potentate who is
the despotic ruler of Roman Catholicism.
These robust, red faced bachelors tell us
that the buxom girls and women whom they
keep under lock and key, want to devote their
lives to religion and to charity.
Do they?
IF that is all, why lock them up?
is there any reason for condemning
woman to perpetual Imprisonment because
she wants to be kind and pious?
Are kindness and piety made more so by
being walled in and locked up?
Can't women who want to be good, be Just
as good associating in the open with married
folks, as they can be associating in private
secrecy with lusty bachelors?
Suppose young impressionable girl gets
worked up into an enthusiastic hysteria, and
takes the veil: suppose, after awhile she
sobers down and regrets her act: ought she
not to have her freedom, if she wants it?
Isn't 1t contrary to public policy to allow
any foreign church to come in here, and imo-
prison for life, $4,000 Of our girls?
Isn't it contrary to good morals to allow
that unnatural system to extend itself
throughout the Union?
We would not allow the Pope of the Budd-
hists to do it. We would not allow the Chief
Priest Of the Mohammedans to do it. But
we allow the Italian pope to do it.
Why should this foreign potentate be al
lowed to override our personal liberty laws,
and keep SO many of our women in his
dungeons?
The priests say that the women want to
stay in jail. But how do we know that?
Would we allow the Mornons to imprson
$4,000 of our women, and to meet our pro-
test by saying that the women love to stay in
jail?
What sort of human beings are these S.
900 women who do not love liberty, do not
appreciate freedom, and prefer to be kept
locked up by lot of coarse, sensual bachelor
priests-sone Of achona are negroes?
The States should swiftly and sternly take
hold of this great question.
Every three months at least. the State,
should demand entrance into those Bastilles
Of the Italian Pope, and should offer freedom
to those Gagged BIRDS

THE eJEFFERSONIAN

Cleary, had brutally murdered the Protestant
boy that had just married Cleary's daughter
before a Protestant minister.
In Clearys eyes, that was no marriage at
all, and he shot the unarmed Protestant boy
to death In Cleary's own office, where the boy
had come to tell him Of the marriage
The District Attorney was a Knight, the
jury we're Catholics, the prisoner was a
Knight, and the murderer was acquitted.
The education which the priests had given
all these American citizens, made the crime
justifable in their minds.
Whether Hosner's lawyer threw away his
case, as Gagan did, or whether he is a weak
lawyer, [ of course don't know; but it seems
strange to me that Hosmer should have been
convicted and punished by jail sentence
when he in good faith published an affidavit
The American Citizen, of Rochester, New
York, has republished that same affidavit,
and the brave knights have not seen fit to
hop on the Citizen.
Why not?
Coming to The Menace case, in-Which they
lost the verdict, and are sentenced to a
81 500 judgment for slandering Pappy Ross
man, of Wheeling, West Virginia, we again
find a peculiar kettle Of fish.
Apparently some Catholic laid a trap for
our Missouri brethren, and they walked into
it. They not only could not sustain their
charges against Pappy Rossman, but could
not even produce the letters on which they
based the charges.
Therefore, The Menace was not in position
to satisfy the jury that the charges were pub
lished in good faith and without malice
Hence, the jury had to find verdict for
damages, there being no evidence at all Of
the truth of the charges.
The Jeffersonian makes it a rule never to
harp on individual priests, or individual
crimes of priests, unless they illustrate the
system Of popery.
Individual ministers Of all creeds are liable
to go wrong, and it is not fair to condemn the
church for the sin of the minister unless that
sin is typical of the system.
Another rule Of The Jeffersonian is, never
to publish charges against the priest by name,
unzess the evidence IS IN nay hands.
True, am under Indictment, too, in spite
of all my caution; but that sad fact grew out
of my ignorance
I did not know that the American Knights
and priests considered it penitentiary crime,
to publish sample of their ''religion' out
Of one Of their ''religious'' books.
I didn't know but what they would thank
me for letting the people know what nice,
holy, uplifting thing Roman Catholicism is:
But [ was badly mistaken. It seems that
they Will even murder unarmed Americans
for telling what Roman Catholicism is.
A 'religion' whose religious books are so
vile, that it is crime to print part of them,
is certainly a peculiar ''religion.'

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-The baffling

Magistrate McQuade to decide that an

loudly for the police. who came and

the witness at the bar. In cellar

eggs They were regular eggs. just
