of the Catholic Church. Mr.. Wilson has repudiated
all the promises made to Catholics by the state
department in December, through Mr.. Bryan 1t
is true that another secretary of state succeeded
Mr. Bryan, but Catholics expected the govern
ment to stand by it's pledge, and not recognize
ruler of Mexico man who has forfeited every
title, not only to recognition leader of peo'
pie, but even to respect from decent men.
Mr.. Wilson stands at the bar of this country
and he must answer for his actions. He has ig
nored the voice of the greatest religious body in
this country, which asked from him nothing
than it had right to demand under the
constitution of republic.
Meanwhile, do not hesitate to predict thai
the utter weakness of Mr.. Wilson's administra-
ton, especially regards his Mexican policy,
which has eliminated, as everyone could see it
would in the recognition of Carranza, will,
through that very act, be exposed to the world
for the utter faacy that it is for the verest in
FAINT in statecraft should have intelligence enough
to see, that such man Carranza never
restore peace and order and stability of govern
ment in Mexico
Is the Catholic Church in politics?
Ono
The only concern of the Catholic clergy is
to preach Christ, live like Christ, return good
for evil, love their enemies and do good to
those that hate them.
That's why old Rojas compelled the Presi-
dent of Panama to break his word with the
American Protestants: that's why they were
killing and burning Protestants in Mexico so
late as 1885, that's why they had President
Madero betrayed and killed; that's why they
had Mayor Gaynor assassinated; that's why
they had William Black murdered; that's why
they had Canalejas and Ferrer foully slain;
and that's why they wanted long and bloody
war in Mexico
Just let them keep on!
They'll arouse the 65,000,000 non Catholics
of this country, before long, and then they'll
wish they had paid more attention to CHRIS
tian virtues, and less to rotten, despotic, en-
crcaching politics.

Blenk and other Romanist princes" to die
tate President Wilson'S policy in Mexico
Ever since 1857, the Roman Church h4s
been plotting to re-establish their control of
Mexican politics, and to recover the confis-
Gated loot of the Spanish high priests.
Their first venture was with the French
army and the Hapsburg prince Macmillan.
Juarez, a full-blooded Indian, was the leader
of the Mexican patriots, and at first many of
his ragged soldiers had no better weapons
than bows and arrows.
Who furnished them with guns?

politics, the plotting Jesuits banished, and the
clustered converts abolished.

In running them out, Carranza was merely
enforcing the laws of 1857, the Constitution
which Macmillan overthrow and the princi-
piles which carried Diaz into power.
General Carranza s aim has been to restore
the peoples Constitution and the peoples hu-
critics, for which the Mexicans fought and
bled, just as our forefathers fought and bled
for the Home Rule that we enjoy.
Carranza knows very we'll that no democ-
racy is safe where Jesuits are tolerated and he
also knows what the monasteries and converts
: really are.
President Wilson had no option, for Car
rama had already established his government
over more than three fourths of the country.

on the border, by temporizing with Villa, and
the HuertaDiaz conspirators.
But the rabid, rancorous and greedy priests
had concocted, at Neac Orleans, plot to re-
store Huerta, ecith German hezp and they are
enraged to see the bloody and treacherous
plan upset.
Germany found her hands so full she
couldn't help Huerta as she had done after he
murdered Madero
The British fleet had driven the German
flag off the ocean, and the Lusitania and
Arabic murders came so near to causing war,
that Huerta, Archbishop Mora, and the other
Jesuit plotters were left in the lurch.
When Huerta tried to skip over the border,
and join Villa, Uncle Sam nabbed him and
put him in jail at San Antonio.
Archbishop Blenk raves, and threatens the
President, as follows:
"Mr Wilson's recognition of Carranza, the
avowed enemy of the Catholic Church, is in
suit to the Catholics of this country. 1t is di-
rect challenge to them, and we hope that not only
Catholics but every true lover of religious free

Edmund Won Mach. chairman Of the
committee. and Bernhard II. Ridder,

Mr.. Ridder made this announcement:
"Whel it became known that DR..
Dernburg was about TO leave the
United Stntes the suggestion was made
by some of his admirers that funds be
subscribed with which to purchase a
gift for him and Mrs. Dernburg. When
this suggestion came to the attention
Of DR.. Dernburg it was immediately
silenced, by his generous reply: Not
q penny for me while there is Ger

Under these conditions il is sug-

the oldest and most famous Of the

laconic remark, spoken in conyersa-

conditions in the border country were
most as bad and wild as ever"
Sitter was a Texan, and during the
fifty years of his life he never wore
a glove on his right hand and he never
slept near window. Whenever a
stranger approached him he always
stood sideways with his hand to his
hip until he was satisfied with the pur-
pose Of the approacher. He stood in
this manner. Mr.. Grey explained, to
offer possible enemy the least target
area. The Ranger was the most hated
of the border patrol because of his
activity against dad men" and his
pursuit of outlaws.

of the picturesque border patrol, was
shot and killed from ambush about two

that he died lighting until the end.
Word Of his death has reached Zane
