90 to the principal cities of Mexico, and
you will find where the dungeons and
the torture chambers of the hellish Catholic
Inquisition formerly stood.
Many Of the buildings still remain and
they give evidence of the horrible crimes
committed by Catholic priests upon those
who differed from Rome in religion
On the public square the hereto used to
be publicly burnt, at the instigation of the
priests, and in accordance with priest-made
law.
Who were the heretics? They were Chris
tlans who claimed liberty of worship and
refused to be dictated to by Roman
Catholics.
When we hear Bishop Kelley, Archbishop
Blenk, Cardinal Gibbons and all that pack
denouncing General Carranza, and de-
nouncing President Wilson for recognizing
him. we should remember that Carranza is
hated because he declares that all religions
shall stand OH an equal footing In Mexico,
and that hereafter, the priest must stay out
of politics.
Would to God that we had General Car
rama in this country who would sternly
drive these Romanist plotters out of oar
politics.
But the belated clamor of Gibbons, Kelley
and Blenk for religious liberty reminds me,
that every one Of these American papists
were in 'holy' Office, in 1895, when the
Mexican priests burnt the last batch of her

The priests demanded the death of these
Mexicans in the name of Virgin Mary, and
they were accordingly condemned by the
local judge of Texacapa.
The only charge against them was that
they were 'enemes to the Roman Catholic
Church"
In other words they were non Catholics,
and claimed the right to freedom of con-
science.
Their names were Nicholas Hernandez,
Casper Hernandez, Juan Tomas, Martin
Santiago, Jose Manuel, Juan Tomas, Jr,

ONE Of the strange things Of the present
- war to us is statement just published
showing that Great Britain's profits In many
industries have increased instead of decreased
since the beginning of the present war, which
indicates that the talk about England being
hard up is all myth.
At the outbreak of the war the British
slogan was "Capture the trade of Germany -,
and, Judging from the golden harvest that
British shipping is reaping, the slogan has
been accomplished
Take the English banks for instance,
while their dividends are about one per cent.
lower than usual, out of this one per cent. de-
crease in dividends they have made large
extra additions to their reserve funds to in
crease the solidity of their position in view
of the unsettled state of many securities, and
have deducted from the dividends the amount
of the income tax, which has previously been
paid by the shareholders, besides where en-
ployees of banks have joined the army their
salaries are being paid in full.
What is true of the banks is true of other
corporations-the arms and ammunition
manufacturers fairly rolling in new-found
wealth.
Even the Cunard line. besides losing the
Lusitania and other vessels, as we'll as its
great passenger traffic, has paid dividend
of 20 per cent. to its stockholders
*
The loan recently negotiated in this coun-
try by the Allies was not barometer of their
financial condition-it was simply a pur-
chase of so much paper credit, all wars being
financed with paper money:
While few of the elections of last week had
any national bearing, what few did, give no
comfort to the President and his party.
In Massachusetts,, where the Democratic
slogan was "a vote for Walsh is a vote for
Wilson, the Republicans won back the
State and elected Mccall Governor

In the Congressional district in New York,

In New Jersey, the Republicans increased

a bigger majority than they had after their
clean sweep in the Presidents home state in

Only few months ago the railroads were
bowling about hard times, and asked for an
increase in freight rates, which was granted,
although the shippers Were laboring under
the same stress of hard times that the rail
roads were.
During the last few days reports have been
published showing that the railroads are now
doing a bigger business, and earning more
money, than they have ever earned before,
but yom do not hear anything about freight
rates being reduced.
The administration was quick to take the
part of the railroads when they wanted the
Interstate Commerce Commission to grant
them an increase in rates. which the con-
sumner finally had to dig down and pay Now
let's see how long before the same admins
tration will ask the over prosperous railroads
to get back to their former freight rates?

career without the blindness of the original

recent statement that he will carry his fight

cause any surprise.

reasons for resigning; reasons which nine
tenths of the people believed to be utterly at
variance with his real reasons or downright
false.
Everybody remembered that he had signed
previous notes to Germany more peremptory

those who knew that he put the one-term
plank in the Baltimore platform for Bryan's
benefit in 1915 have been patiently waiting
to see what issue he would make with the adj
ministration.
And his last statement that he will fight
the Presidents plan of defense clears up the
atmosphere. It simply means that Mr.. Bryan
will be a candidate for the nomination on a
peace-at-any -price platform, thus hoping to
get the German and Roman Catholic vote.
When Mr. Bryan takes the fight against
the President into Congress- it will be the
break between Bryan and Wilson, similar to
the break between Taft and Roosevelt prev

It may De as surely predicted that all avators of the Beachy type will ultimately come to the same erd
 The mortality among aviators has been much less within the last three years than within the three preceding years. That is not because the machines have been much improved in point of safety or because all aviators have learned to be cautious but because aviation stunts have rather palled upon the public.

TO PROTEST AGAINST ORDER IN COUNCIL
Is Received With Disappointment by
 Washington Officials
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Great Britain's order-in- council explaining her embargo on all commerce between Germany and neutral countries was re ceWed with such evident disappoint- ment by high officials of the United States that strong protest against it's terms is considered in official quarters is certain to be made soon. Great Bri- tain absolutely refused to consider the American proposals which were agreed to by Germany and declared so far as the allies are able no commerce will be allowed to and from Germany
 Senator Hoke smith who saw the president, said afterward that the British order of council was high handed and utterly intolerable. Tho arrival of the British order, together with the news of the flat rejection by the allies of the informal proposals by the United States destroyed the hopes of the president and his advisers for an carly improvement of conditions foi neutral commerce of the world. Witt much interest the afficial text is await ed for the reply from Great Britain tt the war zone. food supply proposals.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing

To the Editor of the Republican,
 Sir:
 X certain Phoenix paper in an ar ticle headed why "Germany is Strong," does not justify the occu- patton of Belgium by Germany. etc. In my opinion there was nothing else for Germany to do when she found herself at war only to get out through Belgium. Otherwise. in a little while she would find her enc mics invading Germany through Bel gium. An able English writer says 1 England would have invaded Belgium | had they been situated the samc way as Germany.
 Germany had a right to expect as good treatment from the Belgiums as 1 they. the Relgians. were giving the i French q understand a Belgium to | be cross between German and a Frenchman). Belgium built strong forts to keep the Germans back but

 they are. King Albert thought he was playing the right card but failed i to win the game.
