pected Of being a Roman Catholic
or friendly 10 that church.
IL Buffalo citizens would read be-
tween the lines Of that notorious
appeal 10 the People" which
flooded their city with its mislead-
ing and insinuating etiluenoe, they
would see the persons and powers
which are the enemies Of truth and
justice.
While Rome is bowling for Cath
olic "rights" American patriots
must not forget how to use the
most effective and far reaching
right they possess-the right TO
vote for whom they please regard
less Of political or religious lines.
Buifaloed Buffalonians should re-
member that il was Catholic poll
ticians who fought and defeated a
constitutional amendment remoy-
ing tax exemptions from all prop
erty used for secular schools, hos
pitals, asylums, etc. They must
remember that il was Catholic
politicians who sought TO have re-
moved the prohibition Of public
funds for secular OF private schools.
Romish activity is exerted FOR
Romish interests and AGAINST
public interests--not only in New
York City, but in Buffalo. Not
only in New York state, but in
every other state.
When a concerted effort is made
to defend public funds, public in
stitutions and American freedom
against the treacherous attacks Of
Rome's skillfully cunning conniv-
ers the friends Of freedom are ac-
cused Of interfering with Catholic
"rights." The Roman Catholic
church should not be recognized as
having any rights while it is as
despotically arrogant in its assump-
tion Of power and privilege as it is
today.
Use the ballot, in Buffalo and
every other city, town and village,
if you want TO put a quietus on the
papal plunderers. Use your one
best RIGHT, the right to vote for
whom you will, and use il carefully,
conscientiously and without mercy
every time pape appears upon any
ticket. BY so doing you can get
the Romish goat and at the same
time do yourself and your neigh
Dor a kindness.
Rome is after our goat and
yours, and we must beat her to
the rope. Remember there is no
kindness in Rome.

A Little Leayen

Summer Is drawing 10 q close
but the fight for freedom goes on
though the seasons pass. The men
and women who are working with
head, heart and hand for the es-
tabtshment Of justice, the teach
ing Of truth and the perpetuation
Of freedom as IL Is and shall be
in free America are the true pa
triots.

But now, with the approach Of
fall and winter; with the approach
Of days which will be filed with
preparation for coming elections,
the duty Of every patriot who
knows the danger menacing our
nation from the battle front Of
Rome is 10 labor increasingly for
the spread Of truth.
The Menace is trying. you know
how hard we are striving, to place
the treaohery, the intrigue and

pie In q way that will make them

We can not conduct the fight

ers along the Firing Line have
come nobly TO the front on many
occasions. Many, very many, Of

Old ones are dropping from the

This is not a fight for money that

wheels Of progress and only a
wide and continued campaign Of
publicity can remove the fog that

Why the Romish priests should pre-

one Of the mysteries Of Catholicity. Quo.

priests themselves. Nearly all Catholic
publications are edited by priests, which
makes any quotation from them Of the

WILL OPPOSE PLAN TO
BUY BIG ARMS PLANT
McAdoo Gives Cabinet Facts of Ger
man Efforts to Secure Control
of War Supplies.
was graduates

Washington, June 1O.-President
Wilson and his cabinet considered the
known fact that German interests, re-
ported backed by the German govern
ment, are negotiating for the purchase
of the great gun and munitions-of-war
plants in this country
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
laid the matter before the cabinet. He
had information from secret service
agents of the government, who have
been following these German activities
for several weeks.
The plants for which negotiations
are on include that of Charles M.
Schwab at Bethlehem, Pa, the Rem
ington Small Arms works at Hartford,
Conn, and the Cramp works at Phila-
delphia, which it is said Mr.. Schwab
is about to acquire; the Metallic Cart
ridge company, the Remington com
pany and other munitions and small
arms works.
Included in the Schwab plant hold
ings are the Fore River Shipbuilding
company, Massachusetts, and the
Union Iron works, San Francisco,
where it is reported parts of subma-
rines are being made for English con-
tract shipments being made through
Canada.
This new move of the Germans in
volve the outlay of hundreds of mil
lions, a gigantic financial operation in
the face of war needs and conditions.
1t is one of the most sensational de-
velopments Of the European conflict in
connection with the United States. It's
consummation inevitably would lead
this country into serious disagreement
if not conflict with Great Britain and
her allies.
The latter will demand the fulfill
ment of their contracts with these con-
Germs. The German move is to prevent
this delivery of munitions of war. With
the contamination of the purchases the
German owners could refuse to fill the
contracts. They will not fear suits
for broken contracts.
The whole matter is fraught with
such possibilities of danger to this
country that Attorney General Greg
DRY and the experts Of the department
of justice have taken up the question
with view of interposing legal OBJ
stacles. 1t may become necessary, it
was suggested, to prevent such a sale
on the ground Of public welfare, be-
cause of strained relations with Ger
many.

log look we all noted.

the hang-dog look we all noted
That there were other reasons-that
the place recalled another scene of
brutality in which intention had been
followed by act, did not then know.
1t was sufficient to me then that my
safety was secured by his own guilty
consciousness and the prevarications
into which it led him. Instead of
owning up to the encounter he had so
barely, escaped he confined himself to
the simple declaration of having heard
voices somewhere near the bridge,
which to all who know the ravine ap-
peared impossible under the condi-
tons named.
Yet, for all the incongruities and
the failure of his counsel to produce
any definite impression by the prison
ers persistent denial Of having whit
tied the stick or even of having car
ried it into Dark Hollow, I expected
a verdict in his favor. Indeed, I was
so confident of 1t that I suffered less
during the absence of the jury than
at any other time, and when they re-
turned, with an air of solemn decision
which proclaims unanimity of mind
ard a ready verdict, was so prepared
for his aequittal that for the first
time since the opening of the trial
felt myself a being of flesh and blood
with human sentiments and hopes.
And 1t was: GUILTY."
When l awoke to full realization
of what this entailed (for l must have
lost consciousness for a minute,
though no one seemed to notice., the
one fact staring me in the face was
that it would devolve upon me to pro-
nounce his sentence; upon me, Archi-
bald Ostrander, an automaton no
longer, but a man realizing to the
full his part in this miscarriage of
justice. Chaos confronted me, and In
contemplation of 1t, fell i'll.

had thought little Of this possibility

presiding over the trial Of the man
Scoville. I feigned sickness, only TO
realize that my place would be taken
by Judge Grosvenor, a VIGOROUSLY
prejudiced man. If he sat, ii would 90
hard with the prisoner, and l wanted
the prisoner acquitted. | had no
grudge against John Scoyille Of
course l wanted to save him, and If
the only help could now give him
was to sit as Judge upon his case, then
would l sit as Judge whatever mental
torture it involved
Sending for Mr.. Black, I asked him
point blank whether in face of the
murder was my best friend, he would
not prefer to plead his case before
Judge Grosyenor. He answered no:
that he had more confidence in my
equity even under these circum stances
than IN that OF my able, but head
strong colleague, and prayed me to get
well. He did not say that he expected
me on this very account TO show even
more favor toward his client than
might otherwise have done, but | am
sure that he meant it; and, taking his
attitude as an omen, I obeyed his
injunction and was soon well enough
to take my seat upon the bench.
What men saw facing them from
the bench vas an automaton wound up
to do so much work each day. The
real Ostrander was not there, but
stood, an unseen presence at the bar,
undergoing trial side by side with
John Scoville, for crime to make
angels weep and humanity hide its
head: hypocrisy!
But the days went by and the mex
orable hour drew nigh for the accused
mans release or condemnation. Cir
cumstances were against him-so was
his bearing, which I alone understood.
If, as all felt, it was that of a guilty
man, it was so because he had been
guilty in intent if not in fact. He had
meant to attack Algernon Etheridge
He had run down the ravine for that
purpose, knowing my old friends
whistle and envying him his watch.
Or why his foolish story of having
left his stick behind him? But the
sound of my approaching steps higher
up on the path had stopped him in
mtdcareer and sent him rushing up.
the slope ahead of me. When he came
back after a short circuit of the fields
beyond, 1t was to find his crime fore
stalled and by the very weapon he
had thrown into the Hollow as he
went scurrying by. He had meant to
attack Etheridge. It was the shock
os the discovery of the body, height
ened by the use he made of it to Sc
cure the booty thus thrown in his
way without crime. which gave him
