In 1906, the American who was President
Of the Hibernians was Mathew Cummings,
and IN speech which he made at Fall River,
Massachusetts, he said that his organization
had been varlousl y known in Ireland as Con-

After the English government prosecuted and
outlawed the Ribbonmen, the order took the

The crimes committed by this popish secret
society against Irish Protestants, are the foul
est known to the history of Ireland.
1t was sufficient for an Irishman to be a
Protestant. That was his crime. To punish
his ''heresy," there was no outrage the Hibern-
1ans would not perpetrate upon his family,
and upon himself.
Case after case was proved where they
mutilated Irish Protestants cutting off their
members, burying them up to the ears amid
thorns, ravlshlng their wives and daughters
III their presence, torturing them with torches,
beating them without mercy, and even cutting
their tongues out

gives the names of 538 Protestants in WEEK
ford alone, who were murdered because Of
their religion
In the County of Wicklow, II Protestants
were murdered for the same cause.
a. L.
fore the Select Committee on the State Of
Ireland, Mr.. Hugh Boyd Wray, Sub-In-
spector and Paymaster of the Police Estab-
Gshment Of Queens County, produced a copy
OF the secret oath taken by these RibbOnmen
who merged into the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians.
First, the oath binds the member to absolute
obedience to his superior.
Second. he is to be true to the Ribbon acts.
Third, he is never to bring a new member
into the ORDER without the consent of seven
brothers.
Fourth, he is not to let even has Bishop,
priest or deac0n know the man who made him
a member of the order, except in confession
in jail, that is, dying mans confession.
(And yet those Los Angeles Masons were
ap-headed enough to believe that they had
been shown the secret papers and oath of one
of these murderous secret societies of the
Italian pope.)
Fifth, the member sWore never to spare,
but perSooere and ec0de hnee-deep IN Orange
6zO0d-that is, Protestant blood.
Sixth, never to make Ribbonman without
the consent of the man who made him mem
Der.
Seventh, to suffer any punishment, even to
death itself, rather than give evidence against
a brother of the order.

POINTS, WAY TO
DRY PROSPERITY
N. E. cox OF STATE AUDITORS
OFFICE USES oTTUMWA AS
EXAMPLE IN HIS WALK.

! Cedar Rapids, April 8.-Ottumwa,
which has been without saloons for
four years, is held UP as an example
of what city may do to build up it's
revenues without the saloon license,
by M. f. Cox, municipal examiner for
the state auditor, who is in Cedar
Rapids preparatory to beginning the
annual examination OF the city's books
which will be begun next month.
When the saloons were knocked
out at Ottumwa on January /, 1911.
the city had outstanding warrants
amounting to more than $4,000. Its
treasury practically bankrupt and it
was necessary to take up a collection
of $4,000 to clean the Streets" Mr..
Cox emphasized. "On the first day of
January, 1915, there was about $50, 900
in the treasury and the levy had been
reduced from forty-six and half
mills to forty-two mills.
How was it done? you wonder"
"The process was simple one. The
force that was strong enough to
drive out the saloon was strong
enough to put business men in office
who conducted the city on business
methods When there were. saloons
in Ottumwa it was necessary to main

two men When the saloons were
wiped out the police force was immed-

note. In the fall of 1909. through the
influence of his brother, Charlie, he
was led to the Open Door Rescue
mission at Ottumwa. The institution
was then conducted by that friend of
the railroad man, Johnnie Astra, and
there he made his peace with God and
began his fight against sin in all it's
forms. On the 10th day of February
1910, he was taken into full connec-
ton at the Main Street Methodist
Episcopal church, Ottumwa, and in
this relation he died. The end came
about / o'clock in the afternoon,
Thursday, March 80, after. very
short illness. On the preceding Sat
urday he was taken with pneumonia
and the doctor had him sent to the
hospital that the best attention pos
sible might be given him. Feeling
that the end might not be far off his
pastor called and in conversation
found that his faith was strong and
fear OF the future removed. While he
had nothing to say in commentator
of his own life his trust in Christ was
SO sincere and so hopeful that the
heart was made glad thereby. So
while the end came with great
shock. the sorrow of it is much re,
moved in that there is clear hope
of meeting in the great beyond.
