ROMAN CATHOLIC "PRINCEs" ARE ON THE RAMPAGE

4 G 4EVERAL years ago when the French
= Republic severed it's relations with the
5Confederated Italian Secret Societies known
as the Roman Catholic Church-Beniamin
Kelly was one Of the American prelates who
roared most angrlly.
France decided to quit paying ten million
dollars year to q lot of lazy, licentious
priests; and also decided to close up the.
many popish hell-holes where women we're
kept for the use Of men whose religion
won't allow them to marry
The Savannah bishop felt it to be his duty
to denounce the French government for what
1t had done and to insolently declare that
if the Civil Power in America should pre-
sumo to enact laws which the Roman hierar-
chy considered unjust, the Catholic Church
a0ould daso6ey, DEFY and resist the State.
Bishop Keily's local churches are the only
ones In the South, so far as I know, in
which beastly sermons have been preached
against Protestant marriages sermons which
grossly insulted every non Catholic man,
woman and child.
When we are told with Keily's- sanction
and approval that oep. mothers .ecere zeqaziged
Concublnes, oar aciUes kept ao0neeqa, and oar
daughters bastards, we would have to be
very Angelic indeed if we did not feel like
taking the priest by the throat and choking
the lie down his guzzle.
And by the way, the Savannah Bishops

Who the Prosecutor Watson Case And How Stands the Case

PECENTLY, Mr. B O. Flower-so long
N known as the Editor Of The Arena
Magazine, and so highly regarded for his lit,
erary worl1-wrote to me, inquiring about my
case in the q. S. Court.
He asked whether it was fact that had
been indicted for mailing magazine which
contained an extract from Roman Catholic
book, IN dead language, to-wit, Latin.
He asked whether / quoted this dead Ian
guage just as it was found in the Roman
Catholic book.
He asked whether the Roman Catholics
themselves had been publishing, selling and
mailing the same book.
This was the substance of Mr. Flowers
questions, and my replies were, of course, in
the affirmative.
He further asked whether | had any evil
dence to prove that the Roman Catholics in
stigated the prosecution.
In reply / told Thin the following:
That prior to the beginning of the series
of chapters on "The Roman Catholic Her
archy, the deadliest menace to American lib
critics and institutions [ published pros
pectus of what they would contain; and that
Immediately the Remanist news-dealer trust
the American News Company-notifed
our Business Manager, James Laner, that if
/ published any such articles, the magazine
would be boycotted
The articles began to appear in the maya

In violent letter to The Savannah Morn
ing News, dated October 81, 1915 Kelly
commences:
Sir: I do not suppose that the most enthu-
that his Mexican policy has been a great success.
He recognized Madero refused recognition to
Huerta; permitted the importation OF arms by
the brigand, Villa invaded Mexico and seized her
chief port; held it for several months and then
left it, several Of our men being killed in the
invasion; forced Huerta out Of Office and
try; and recognizes Carranza
Here we have a characteristic illustration
Of priestlv misrepresentation.
"He recognized MaderO."
Has Bishop Kelly been asleep? Is his
mind failing? Doesn't he know that Wilson
did not become President until after the
Catholic plotters had overthrown and muir
dered Madero?
It was President Taft who recognized
Madero, and who refused to take the drip
ping hand of Huerta the Judas who betrayed
and killed his master
1t was to President Taft, that Huerta
wired his insolent message, Il have the honor
to inform you that / have overthrow this
government"
That Wilson also refused to take the bloody
hand of Huerta. was altogether to his credit
Our people would have been profoundly
shocked, had President Wilson made himself.

Fred l.. Dean of Sheridan, who was
recently arrested on charge of for
gerry, has been completely exonerat-
ed from the charge which was placed
against him.
Mr.. Dean had rented his farm to a
man who had been working for him
and sold the teams and tools for
about $1,000 and took his individual
notes for one year, with the condition
that they would be renewed and car
ried for three years. After about six
months the farm was given up and
Mr.. Dean agreed to take the property
back and settle for the notes which
had been given. The lessee being a
poor writer, asked Mr.. Deans 16-
year-old son to sign his name and
this was done in the presence of wit
nesses. When the notes came due,
the lessee was notified and he denied
having given them.
Mr.. Dean is owner of one Of the
largest farms in Montcalm county
and is president of the Montcalm
county Farmers Institute society and
for three years has been farm lee
turer for the state.

WILL FIND THE RIGHT MAN

The fact that no one Presidential
possibility within the ranks of the Re-
publican party appears to be taking a
lead has caused some who have not
been close students of American poll
tics, and others who are possibly op-
posed to the principles of the Republi-
can party, to express unnecessary an
xiety as to whom the Republican par
ty will bring out as their leader in
1916.
True that il is not within the range
of mans vision to see just what the
choice of the Republican party will be
next year, but when the next Republi-
can national convention shall be call
ed the right man will rise to the place.
This was true at the time of the
change from the Cleveland admins
stration, it has been true at other
epochs in political history, and there
is no question but what history will
repeat itself in 1916.

THE HOWELL SANATORIUM

The Howell Sanatorlum board OF
control gives some interesting figures
showing what has been accomplished
at the institution since it's organiza-
ton in 1909. OF the 1,246 patients
admitted during the six years two
were found to have no symptoms of
the disease, As deaths occurred, 81
patients re-entered the institution af-
ter discharge and 691 were discharg-
ed as cured, apparently cured or i'm
proved. A total of 221 were unim-
proved.
That the institution is inadequate
to care for the tubercular patients
who are DESTROYS of admittance is
shown by ten report giving a waiting
list of from half dozen to 80 the
year round. The cost per patient per
week is large item and one which
Gov. Ferris thinks can be reduced.
The report shows it cost $13.15 a
week for the past year as compared
to 1929 for 1914, $12.02 for 1918,
1929 for 1912, SIPS for 1911, $1161
for 1910 and $3.50 for 1909.

ONLY TWO MAJOR PARTIES

Unless | am greatly mistaken, the
Hon. Nicholas Longworth of Ohio,
says, the next campaign will be
fought out with but two major par
ties in the field, and the two issues
that the Republican party will most
strongly fight for will be protection
and preparedness. These two issues
go together and by right ought to go
together. We believe that the Amer
lean citizens have the right to be pro-
tected in their industries, property
and persons, both at home and
abroad, and that this government
should be prepared to enforce those
rights.
