A ROrnanist Account of the Muir
Ger of William Black by the
knights of Columbus.


THE premeditated attack on William
Black, the anti-Catholic lecturer, did not
differ IN purpose, plan, and results, from the
attacks on Madero, Gaynor, Canalejas, Rial,
Ferrer, and the Portuguese Premier
Each of these murderous attacks was in
spired by the same papal law, the same papal
secret society, the same papal fanatcism.
Madero was Mason. and patriot trying
to deliver Mexico from the CALLING yoke Of
Spanish land-kings and Spanish priests
The Jesults who had crept back into the
country, IN Vl0zdtioz Of the Meuican CON-
statuti0n Of 1857, intrigued against President
Madero used and financed General Huerta,
and were actual accomplices in the cold
blooded murder of Madero.
When ex-Presldent Castro, of Venezuela
came to our shores, he was not allowed to
land: he had offended a powerful New York
Asphalt Trust, which had an irresistible pull
with our Government
When Mrs. Pankhurst, of England, came
to our shores, there was a loud cutlery against
her landing; and the two governments, Great
Britains and ours, made themselves con-
temptible by fighting one old sutfragette.
But when Huerta came, his hands, drip
ping with the blood of the President whom
he had betrayed and assassinated were
eagerly grasped by the marauding Trust Off
Gals in New York, and he was fulsomely
greeted as distinguished foreigner who had
come to make his home among us.
Ronaanist Influence, you see!
Mayor Gaynor. of New York, incurred the
deadly rancor of Cardinal Farley's gang. and
the Tammany gang-the same thing, really
by announcing that he meant to put stop to
the support of Romanist schools by the city
treasury.
An Irish Catholic, recently discharged
from city office, was chosen as the instru-
nent of murder; and, as he was not person
ally able to identify Gaynor a priest was
sent to show Gallagher who to shoot.
While Gaynor stood on the deck of the
ship, ready to start on vacation trip, and
was chatting with number of his fellow pas
sengers, the priest and the assassin came on
board. and the priest pointed out Gaynor to
Gallagher
When the assassin began to shoot, the
priest quietly skunk away.
No effort q0ds e0er made to trace that
priest.
Romanist influence, you see.
Canalejas was the Prime Minister of
Spain, and in that capacity had secured the
passage of laws which separated the Cath
Ollie church from the State, subjected con-
vents to inspection, put monasteries out Of
commercial, manufacturing, and wine-mak
ing business, &C.
One day, as he pushed his way through
crowd on the street, Romanist fanatic drove
a knife into his back, killing him.
So far as [ can learn, the assassin was
never arrested.
Catholic influence. you see.

him shot by Spanish Catholic soldiers: and
nothing has ever been said about it in or
American papers.
Romanist influence, you see.
Professor Ferrer established, at Barcelona,
III Spain, system of modern schools, and
was rapidly breaking the crust Of Spanish
1gnorance-ignorance which Romanism needs
and must have in her line Of business
The priests determined to kill him, an@
they did it.
There was secret mock trial, before a
packed jury of Spanish officers ali of whom
were bigotted Romanists, and they obeyed
the secret orders of the Inquisition.
Catholic soldiers Of Spain shot Ferrer to
death, just as Catholic soldiers murdered
Rial and Madero.
The CHASTITY crime shook all Europe, but it
did not make any more noise in our ncwspa-
pers.
Romanist influence, you see.
In the news columns, a few days ago. you
saw where the prime minister of Portugal
had been shot.
The assassin was a Catholic fanatic, set
on by the Jesuits. and the provocation to the
crime was that the victim had drafted and
passed the law separating Church and State
in Portugal.
The crime is creating deep feeling in
Spain and Portugal and in every country
not swallowed up by this internal war.
But IN our papers you see no comment on
the fact that Romanism in Europe murders
men-even though they are Cathozics-if they
seek to free the Catholic people from the
greedy clutches of Rome.
Our papers are not only afraid to comment
upon such Romanist murders as that of
Canalejas and Madero- is, comment on
the real cause and the real 0ssassin--but they
are afraid to denounce the deliberate and
cowardly assassination of William Black,
Virginian, and granddaughter of General
Lee
To the Catholics. the Romanist papers state
the facts thus

The Question?
Monroe County Men In
 the Legislature

Monroe County's representa- tives in the coming session of the Legislature were thru Brinkley enroute to Little Rock this week. Senator Harry Harris. of Clar- endon, went over Tuesday night while Representative John Davis of Roe, passed thru Wednesday morning.
 Both Senator Harris and Rep tentative Davis expressed them selves as being desirous of intro ducing some road measure that will solve the situation in Monroe County. Representative Davis hopes to introduce an effective compulsory educational meas ure.
 He called at the ARGUS while in Brinkley and gave assurance that he desired to serve the peo- pie of the county in every pos sible way and the ARGUS believes that he means just that.
 The people of the county should write to both of these gentle men and let them know their views on all general matters. If every farmer in Monroe Coun- ty wonld write to each of them line or two saying, give us permanent roads, we would get roads this very year.

 Hours

The newly elected Mayor, Jas. Grant was busy house cleaning at the City Hall yesterday as the newspaper man made his rounds, and said tell the public, please, that my office hours at the City Hall will be from 9 til 10 each morning and from 4 til 5 each afternoon and l can be found during the day at my office on East Cypress Street. Continu- ing the New Mayor said T am hoping that the general public will cooperate with me in making Brinkley a cleaner, quieter and better town. The Sanitary laws are important to every one. Splitting on the side walks, throwing waste paper and rubbish into the streets is against the interests of all. The shoot ing of target and air guns and firing of fireworks and fire arms in the incorporate limits is against the law and is dangerous to the lives of people. It must be stopped. l do not wish to be hard on any one but shall insist on an observance of all laws and shall infict a penalty where they are violated" "

A Rare Bird.

The lowest form of bird life which
exists is believed to be the kiwi, or
Apteryx nantelli, of New Zealand. 1t
is so scarce, however, that scientists
consider themselves lucky to get spec
linen in any condition. 1t is without
wings or tail; its legs are short, but
very strong. and are used for digging.
The chief food of the bird is earth
worms. The body covering is a cross
between hair and feathers. The kiwis
develop great speed and make Il des-
perate fight when attacked. \ pecuF
lar characteristic is that during the
day they conceal themselves under
rocks or roots of trees and when at
rest resemble to some extent hedge
hog when it is curled up Efforts to
breed them in captivity have utterly
failed, and only a few museums can
boast of specimens

In Home Life In China" Isaac
Taylor Headland tells the following
story to illustrate the conveniences of
the Chinese costume:
X Chinese government representa-
tive who was new to American ways
came to the home of an eminent New
York banker for weeks visit. 1t was
winter, but he came without luggage,
and yet every day he appeared at din
ner with a change of garments. At
first his hostess wondered how he man
aged it, but soon she discovered that
his body was his trunk and that in
stead Of putting his clothes into his
trunk he put his trunk into his clothes.
His garments were like the layers of
an onion, except that any layer might
be worn on the outside, and as some
of his gowns-for such they might be
called-were of silk, lined with fur, or
fur. lined with silk, he could wear
them either side out at will.

Influenza on Rampage.

The fact that in the two year period
1928 there were Gil deaths from IN
fuenza or grippe in the state OF Wis
consin should offer sufficient REPUTATION
of the common idea and frequent as
sertion that genuine grippe is not
serious disease. 1t is true that but a
small proportion of afflicted die of the
disease. but that over 600 die in two
wear period makes the disease nothing
to scorn. And those two years were
not epidemic years.
We are now in the midst OF. an cpl
demic which many physicians consider
to be as extensive but not so virulent
as the great epidemic of 1889-90.
Grippe is a contagious disease spread
I.by coughing, splitting, sneezing, ex-
changing of saliva covered pencils and
many other ways by which infected
nose, throat, and lung discharges may
be transferred from sick to we'll. The
fact that it is a contagious disease
makes it quite likely that there are
many more cases in the cities than in
the country.
Persons under attack of genuine in
fiuenza, marked by back and leg ache,
chills, fever, and some cough, discharg-
ing nose and a feeling of prostration
out of all proportion to the other symp-
toms, should go to bed and stay there
until they are we'll. Osler, one of the
greatest medical authorities in the
world, has called influenza one of the
most serious of all germ diseases. Its
victims should have the most skillful
medical and nursing attention and
should be guarded against other dis
eases prone to follow this one. All
cloths, handkerchiefs and other articles
| that NAV become contaminated by the
nose. throat and lung discharges should
be burned or thoroughly boiled to- pre-
vent avoidable spread of disease. Re-
member always that this is contag-
| ious disease. A list of Don't and
| ''Do's" given out by physicians for the
prevention of colds, grip and like NAL
aides:
Don't sleep with your windows clos
| ed in warm room.
| Open them wide and use more cover.
| Stay out in the open air as much as
possible and take long walks each day,
preferably during the day time.
Don't allow the windows of the of
| flee or home to remain closed. Keep
up a continual ventilation.
| Don't have the rooms overheated.
! When you go into an office or build
/ ing that is warm, remove your outer
wraps and you will not notice the cold
when you leave.
Keep the feet dry by wearing rub
bers or heavy shoes.
Drink plenty of water and keep good
| hours.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Dec. 81, 1915.
Warehouse operations are progress
ing as smoothly in the Connecticut val
ley as can be expected, considering the
acute LABOR shortage. Were the crop
anything like normal proportions, the
situation would cause decided anxiety
on the part of tobacco men, but, as it
is, the crop will probably be packed on
time, even with the reduced compile
ment OF help, as the amount to be han
died, at outside figures, is not more
than tWo-thlrds of an average crop.
Many warehouses are maintaining an
easy schedule, owing to the fact that
the percentage of the crop which is un-
sold is the largest at this season In
many years. Buyers, who for three
consecutive seasons snapped at any
thing in sight Contracting in some
cases for fields of tobacco they had not
even seem have now gone to the other
extreme. Many growers, on the other
hand, are yet to be convinced that the
1915 crop is not an A No. yield. Out
of the Numerically opposite positions
a deadlock has frequently arisen.
No more than half the crop is sold in
Connecticut, and in Massachusetts the
proportion is smaller. 81 wouldn't give
10 cents pound for Massachusetts to-
bacco,' commented buyer few days
ago. In the heart of Connecticut it is
intimated some crops are being dispos-
ed of at painfully near that figure,
which means an actual loss to the
grower.
On every hand complaint of light
weight is heard. II thought I had q
good crop in the field, but it has shrunk
to nothing" said Connecticut plant
er, as he fuefully surveyed the modest
pile OF bundled tobacco which repre-
sented his seasons work.
