WHAT CAESAR DID

The following poem was snatched
from the hole OF oblivion. and is mere
reproduced TO tell What Old Caesar
Did" way back in days of old. The
roads old Caesar built are in fairly
good shape today; better as whole
than the streets OF Wheeling. ana
that's not saying much.
Never mind about the present
streets. here's the poem:
When Cssear took an eastward ride
And grabbed the Gauls OF Rome.
What was the first thing that he ola
/ To make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples load.
And liberty forbid?
No. he dug in and built good roads
That's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
Upon the fOeman's breast
or did he try to make them feel
That Roman rule was best?
What did he do TO make them glad
He came their lands amid
He built good roads in place of bad
That's what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill 10 nil.
Good roads from vale TO vale;
He ran a good roads movement
Till old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home
Build roads their ruts TO rid.
Until all roads led up TO Rome
That's what old Caesar did.
II any town would make itself
The center of the map.
Where folks will come and settle down
And live in plenty's lap;
n any town its own abodes
OF poverty would rid.
Let IL 90 and build good roads
Just like old Caesar did.

Ii is a remarkable fact that all
through the life Of an active papist
he must go TO the priest TO get
his services. Church communiOns,
church weddings, church confes-
sions, church pow-wows are the
rule. The priest confers all the
spiritual fsvors, and the parishion'
er must seek them.
TO this there is one striking ex-
ception -. the last rites before
death. On this occasion the priest
is always present no matter how
much effort it requires. And there
is a more important reason for II
than the inability of the sick one
to travel. That is the time for the
making of the last will and tesla.

Extreme junction. is not only the
last chance TO snoint the dying:
il is also a last chance TO oil the
church. When the priest arises
from his downy couch in the small
hours Of darkness il is nominally
to carry oil and bread, but really
to bring back a bequest. And the
latter is the most important part
of a priests business.
The corporation he serves is out

men" may injure the "holy church" "
With the terror Of priestly displeas-
ure hanging over them, and the
fear that their cause may be in
iured, they doggedly suppress what
should be generally known, and the
devil glOats in glee over the sue
cessful methods Of his blackest
imps.
But an occasional case gets into
the courts, and beyond priestly con-
troll. Immoral priests will at times
leave tracks which can't be oblit-
Grated by silence or even by per-
jury. The few cases plainly proved
are eloquently suggestive Of the
many which are suppressed. The
lesson should not be lost on people
who are wise enough to avoid
plainly indicated danger.

Men and Women Who Know

Patriotic lecturers all agree that
the worst things they ever heard
about the immortality and hypocrisy
of Romish priests have been told by
members of the Roman Catholic So
called church. At first thought,
this may seem strange and unbeliev-
able; but, when you come to think
about it, it is not only believable
but natural.
None know so well the greed Of
priests for money, or their moral
hypocrisy. as the men and women
W Yhom they rely upon to give, serve,
obey, and follow without question.
such power Of the few over the
Inany is bound TO be abused, and it
lis natural that those whose human
rights and feelings are outraged
should break over and say what they
lfeel at times though they may
later be intimidated and scandal
suppressed.
Salscious stories spring up in a
thousand places to spread more or
less and then die down because
those who start them suddenly shut
up like clans. After the first flush
Of Indignation over the wrongs he
has suffered, the terrors of Purga-
tory are brought to bear on the talk
er; and he shuts up like a disturbed
bear trap. Thus it is that there
are scandals, and rumors of scan
dal, without end. II all these ru-
mors could be run down, and
their source remain as accessible as

ality Of many who pose as sanity
