Jul TRADE WITH INDIA.
She Has the Market, We Have the
Goods, but Neglect the Opportunity.

Now that exports from Germany
and Austria to India have been
stopped by the war It Is interesting
to see how few American manufac-
turers have grasped this rare OPP
portunity Of introducing American
goods to q market which 10 rapidly
expanding and with which we are
comparatively unfamiliar.
During the past ten years india
practically doubled the value Of her
imports, and yet in that same period
exports from the United States to
India showed an increase Of only rs
per cent. Tho United States now sup
| piles about one-fortieth Of the mer-
chandise imported by India!
The eve growing Indian market
for foreign goods should be particu-
larly tempting to American manufac-
turers owing to its demand for the
very goods hat are extensively pro-
duced in the United States. In 1894
India imported engineering products
worth nearly S138, $50, 900. including
all kinds Of machinery. iron. steel. rail-
way plants. motor cars. &C.; clothing
including haberdashery. millinery
boots and shoes. to the value Of $15,.
669.s50: while the imports Of patent
foods. biscuits. canned and bottled
goods. condensed milk. patent medi.
cines, soap. cigarettes and beer
amounted to 913.529.120.
Japan. which for some years has
enjoyed close commercial contact with
India. has not overlooked the present
opportunity to advance her industries
and has already made an apparently
successful effort to obtain the lager
beer trade which was formerly con.
trolled by Germany.
Can 1t be that United States mer'
chants have become so interested II
the prospect Of increasing their wealth
by means of war supplies that they
have forgotten to take into consid
Grafton tho fact that some day thu
war will be over?

The Presidents Decided stand for
Preparedness.

President WILSON'S recommended
tions to Congress upon the subject
Of preparedness leave nothing to be-
desired by Americans concerned about
the security OF the country and the
upholding Of its policies. II he for
merly entertained the belief that "Our
safety In times Of danger would lie
in the rising of the nation to take
care Of itself. rs the farmers rose at
Lexington" he has banlshed 1t to the
limbo OF exploded theory. He has
learned the lesson of the great n
in Europe, which began with the vlo-
lation Of II treaty guaranteeing the
Independence of Il neutral State and
has since been characterized by in
human md selfish disregard of the
rights Of other neutral States which
were derived from the previously &C
| cepted code of international law.
President WILSON has no illusions
about the kind of preparedness that
has become necessary II the American
people are "to play the great role in
the world, and particularly in this
hemisphere, for which they are quail
fed by principle and by chastened
ambition to play" Gone Is thai feel

President, "a thing of disciplined

WILSON knows as well as the General
Staff, for he said In the message he
read to Congress-the occasion will
be historic:
"If our citizens are ever to fight ef-
fectively upon a sudden summons they
must know how modern fighting is done
and what to do when the summons
comes to render themselves immediately
available and Immediately effective"
The proposition has never beer
stated with greater precision ant
more impressively. 1t is to be noted
that the President in urging Congress
to make the additions to the regular
army which the War Department viii
propose, 2,113 officers and 3l.T22 en-

circumstance that the President has
had the courage and the patriotism
to modify in a marked degree his pre-
vious attitude with respect to two Of
the greatest questions now demand

Congress, namely:
!. National preparation for mill
tary and naval defence:
9. The Governments relation to the
nations railway system. and other
oppressive and restrictive forms Of
paternalistic interference with mat
ters belonging to private initiative
and endeavor.

s'The 4tEl Degree Oath OF the
knights OF Columbus

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of foreign power, have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents
This question of Popery is the most import
ant question now facing the people of
America.

The Gentilo, intolerablv outraged by
lustful jew kills him in the heat of passion.
and goes up for life.
The jew, jealous Of lewd Gentle woman,
goes to her own room, shoots her like dog,
and gets a sentence Of twenty years
The Gentle is turned over to convict
lessees, and works at sawmill, many years,
no doubt with negro conyicts, and no doubt
whipped as they We're whipped.
The jew gees over to MilIedgeville, puts
up as q boarder with tho hospitable mana
ger; and during the scant twelve months he
stays there, he never hits a lick of work
why?
Because his good luck steered him into
the one place where money does not count
In the meantime, Leo Frank has fallen
heir to the good luck of Lep. Myers.
Like Myers Frank is a guest of the man
agement.
He has never been put to work, and never
will be.
He went down there with his pockets full
of $40 bills, for he did not know he was
going to place where $40 bills cut no ice
IN order that certain visitors might see
him IN stripes, they were hurriedly put on
him, one dag.
He stays in doors, takes things easy, writes
at his own roller-top desk, which Warden
-Smith kindly allowed to be fetched; and is
sending out edifying speeches of forgive
ness to his prosecutors. These pious, Chris
tan words are being introduced in the
Hearst-Sellg picture shows, up North.
Franks cut was on the muscle of his neck,
and his Jugukr vein was never cut any more
than yours was.
That's fine comedy they are playing at
the State Farm, and it will be worth your
while to watch it, as it proceeds, from act
to act.
Frank is a star performer on the public
stage, and he has had SO much practise since
he killed Mary Phagan that he is almost
perfect.
Ills wife seems to be making up. for those
first three weeks, after she heard Frank con-
fess his awful crlme-the three weeks dur
ing which she refused to go about her guilty
husband.
Yes; keep your eyes on the comedy at the

of the Protestant churches, nor the dcnor2-
national papers,
The Pope wouldn't give two cents to have
Christian Advocate thrown out of the
mails; but he would give a million to have
The Jetfersonian thrown ont.
Probably the Pope might lend the Index
some money to tide it over this dull season,
which seems to be hitting it so hard; for
you can easily see that as long as the Index
keeps clamoring for the up-zeep Of most
expensive and most useless sham fight on
Buddhism in Japan and China and India,
there are no funds, and no strength left to
fight Romanism here at home.
BY the way, the figures show that the
100000 Catholics spend only S250000 on
Foreign Missions
That's less than cents apiece
Instead of sending S20,00000O every year
to support schools, colleges, orphans homes,
and hospitals in China, Korea Japan. and
India, they spend 1t IN this country. Thus
they enormously add to the numbers, and
influence of the Catholic Church.
AS long as the Protestant churches are
unable to see anything that is nearer home
than China, the Romanists do not fear them
On the contrary, if our Protestant churches
should keep their $20,000,0OO at home and

manists would feel the power Of our
churches.
But, at present the poor folks at home
are neglected, and the $20,00000O goes across
the sea, to be divided between the mission
ares and the brown, yellow and black pe0-
pie, who are educated at our expense: con-
sequently, the Romanists are not minding
our churches, but are minding such secular
papers as The Jeffersonian.
And, it fills me with a sorrowful fore
boding Of future calamities, when I see
Bishop Gambler Of Georgia working on the
same line as Congressman Gallivan, of Mas
sachusetts.
The one attacks the Constitution Of the
Republic, the other attacks the Constitution
OF his State.
In each case, the motive is the same viz:
the advancement Of the power of a religious
organization to the injury of the common
people.
The Romanist demands for his foreign
church a special exemption from criticism.
The Methodist demands for all churches,
foreign and domestic, special exemption
from taxation.
Both demands conflict with the sacred
and fundamental principles upon which our
Republic was established
Why does the Romanist Congressman
want his foreign church exempted from
having the truth told on it?
Because it cannot afford to let the truth
be told.
Millions of Catholics would themselves
abandon the organization if they knew the
real law, and the real purpose of that for
eign organization.

OLD FOES COMING BACK.
Study this Pair: One a Method
isl Bishop and the Other a
RomaniSt Congressman

EtROM the Roman Catholic Church comes
an attack upon the Constitution Of the
United States
1t is the Gallivan bill, which demands
that Congress do what the highest law says
1t shall not do, towit, ''abridge the freedom
Of the press"
The Romanists hayo secured decision Of
the Supreme Court Of Minnesota which for
bids the exposure Of the nasty questions
asked by priests Of Catholic women in the
hell-boX known as the confessional"
The questions ore nasty, and they rob
pure girls Of their modesty, and they put
Romanist wives in tho power of bachelor
priests
But because they are so nasty, the priests
fercely resent their exposure; and they pros
ecute people who endeavor to arouse our
countrymen to the dangers of foreign
church eohtch po12utcs acoma11hood, in this
debasing manner.
Anna Lowry, an ex-nun, was lecturing to
qc0naen, only, in the State of Minnesota, and
she read those nasty questions out of Saint
Liquors. book on Moral Theology.
The priests had her arrested for using
obscene language in public, and she was con
victed: the Supreme Court sustains the con-
viction.
Therefore, the situation is this, it is 7eqM
for red-lipped, beef-eating, wine drinking
bachelors to use this nasty language to
qc0noen, IN private, but Illegal for a aconan
IL tell other e0onoen about 1t, in public
lecture.
By prosecuting this woman to the highest
court, the priests insolently assert their right
to use vile language to wives sisters, and
daughters-language so utterly obscene that
If anybody else uses it, they will prosecute
to the limit.
Gallivan's bill proposes that Congress
shall prohibit any book, pamphlet, maya
zine, newspaper, picture, etc, that 'reflects
on" the Romanist religion.
OF course, he does not use the word Cath
Ollie, but that's what he means.
No Catholic cares how much other faiths
are reflected on.
In fact, their papers and, magazines are
full of the coarsest and bitterest abuse and
misrepresentation of everything Protestant
From Luther down to Bishop Burt all
men who combat and expose popery are the
object of Romanist SANDER and denuncia-
ton
Therefore, Gallivan is aiming to do by
act of Congress the same thing that the
Romanists have done in Minnesota
Nobody shall be allowed to inform our
people as to the horrible secrets of this for
e1gn system, nor warn our sleeping fellow
citizens against foreign church whose
fundamental law is the deadliest enemy to
or fundamental laws
Gallivan demands that the Constitution
which he swore to support, be annulled in
one of its most vital principles, and he
wants this done IN order that nobody shall
be able to arouse our people against the
constant encroachment of popery.
II the Roman secret societies can gag the
press, their cunning priests will continue to
creep up on the slumbering Americans who
know that popery was bloody, ravening
