Britain is trying to check the wheels of pro-
gress,-0nd she STILES free press.
In our own country, a similar reactionary
policy is on foot
The Roman Catholic priests are beating the
drums, In all directions, marshalling their
hosts of dupes, for a fight against the trtbdono
Of the press
The attack is not open and direct. They
dare not yet say what they really mean.
II tome had her aoay, as she used to hare
Il, no 6ooh on" Paper could be issued a0ith0ut
But even her own god-eating dupes are not
ready for that.
They will be ready for that an much more,
in a few years, if foreign Rome continues to
strengthen her American grip.
At present, this foreign oHgarchy qchich
seeks to rule A7nc15ca, is proceeding indirectzy
against the freedom of the press.
1t is demanding that the U. S. mails be
closed to all books, papers, &C., that are
"scurrilous"
The word ''scurrilous," covers any thing
that Italian oligarchy may find offensive to
itself.
I am so1ry TO see that 4 /. s. Burzeson, POST
master General, IS SIDING WITH. THE
FOREIGN OLIGARCHY, in the mn-Ameri-
can 20ar against one Of the most precious
american liberties
And Burleson is from Texas They say
his wife is Roman Catholic; therefore, he
may be one Of those Americans who signed
away his children to the Italian Pope, before
they were born.
They also say that Burleson wants to 90 to
the u. S. Senate.
In that case, he had better remember that
there are some votes in Texas that do not be-
long to Cardinal Gibbons and his italian
soverei On
But, as the caption of this editorial indi-
Gates the City of Birmingham, Alabama, has
gone over to the Italian oligarchy, to the ex-
tent Of doing what the foreigners want done,
In regard to "scurrilous@ literature
What's the Constitution of Alabama to the
town sages of Birmingham?
What's the Constitution of the United
States to the municipal Moguls Of Birming-
ham?
What to them are all the dreary years of
struggle and suffering strife and battle, that
our forefathers had to endure, in the long
campaign for freedom of the press?
In Birmingham, you may freely sell the
nasty theological works of Saint Alfonsus
Lguori, of Peter Dens, or of any other OBJ
scene Catholic theologian.
In Birmingham, you may freely sell the
amorous erotlc, corruptlng novels of the
Catholic authors Boccacio and D'Annunzio
In Birmingham you may sell any Sunday
sheet Of any New York newspaper, no matter
how full it is of naked women, and of filthy
'sex' stories.
But if you dare to sell anything that tells
the truth on Italian popery, you will be
handling something that is insulting and
offensive to the Birmingham bachelors, who
wear women's clothes.
Therefore, Martin Eagan, the Catholic
Chief of Police. may have you arrested and
punished
