aggressive campaign in Florida against
the Pope's Tampa and jacksonville sub
ects.
Those treasonous Americans are trying to
keep down what they call 'the religious
issue" but which is really the issue as to
whether this country is to be ruled by
foreign potentate through his oath bound
secret societies.
The Tampa and Jacksonville subjects of
old man jim Cheesy, the Pope, have pub
lished one of their sham-battle challenges
against the patriotic American candidate.
After Mr. Cats has answered the Popes
subjects, let him put few questions to
them, as per the following:
a. Why is your church the only church
that has to 90 to foreigner, IN foreign
country, before its priests, IN this country,
can hold any office and authority In your
church, IN this country?
The status Of American priests, and the
great body of Catholics in America, is ex-
actly the same as having the officers of the
American Army appointed by the Emperor
of Germany.
The 100000 Catholic laymen are the
Pope's army, and the 10000 priests are his
officers.
Not single one of those officers can take
command, except under commission given
of an Italian, living in Italy.
Why does the great army of American
Romanists have to take its officers and its
orders from Italy?
o. Why is it that the Roman Catholic
Church is the only church which cannot do
all the legitimate work of Christian church
without number of oath bound secret So
cieties!
The Catholics who are not Jesuits, do not
know the escrets of the Jesuits, nor the
mole-work of the Jesuits.
The Catholics who are Franciscans, Do
minicans, &C., do not know the secrets and
the secret work of those oath-bCund secret
societies
In what way does religion require all this
hidden work, hidden oaths, and hidden ma
chinery?
Why is the Roman Church the only one
that keeps the greater part OF the member
ship in the dark!
Why is it that every one of ROme's secret
societies has to get it's commission from
Rome and take it's orders from Rome?
g. Why is it that the Pope's church is
the only church that sends and receives po-
litical ENJOYS and ambassadors, has a sec
rotary of state and other cabinet officers,
has a sort of Senate in the Curia at Rome,
and uses a secret cipher in writing mes
sages to foreign countries?
Religion does not need political embas-
sizes. Religion does not need local po-
Itical organization at Rome. Religion does
not need secret law, and a secret cipher.
If the Papacy is not vast political ma
chine, what's the necessity for all this elab-
crate political machinery?
az Why is it that the Pope's church is
the only one which refuses to speak to the
Almighty in plain English?
Jehovah understands French, German,
and Ennlich inct &c wnlI DC He does I attn

Ring and Anti Candidates
For the Job of Alderman
r. B. Stevens Says He Will
Devote His Entire Time
to City if Elected.

FL Paso has grown to such a size
that an alderman should devote much
time to the city's business, is the
opinion of r. B. Stevens, candidate for
alderman on the ''anti-ring" ticket. Mr..
Stevens, though still looking after his
varied business interests, has decided
to give his whole attention to the city
government, if elected, and in so doing
viii cancel a number of extensive va
cation trips that he had planned for the
next two years.
r.. 3. Stevens came to Ell PasO %
years ago and has been a resident Of
this city ever since. During his early
career here he was employed at the
smelter and later as a policeman. He
then went into the liquor business, but
about Is years ago engaged IN the real
estate business. Although connected
as stakeholder with various enterprises,
such as a grocery and a livery stable
business, real estate has been his
especial field. He bought the site OF
the present Stevens building when it
was considered TO be out Of town, prop
erty.
THE FL Paso city government might
be known as FL PasO & Co, live,
growing business concern, said Mr..
Stevens and Ell Paso & Co. deserves
Just as much energy and time from its
officers as any other company does
from its officers. L favor all legitimate
improvements. When 1 accepted the
domination for alderman I did so after
resolving to give to the city of Ell
Paso all of my time that was necessary
for the next two years, in the event l
am elected"

Carter White Says More

Now For the Future.

date for mayor, like i. B. Simmons, has
served on the school board and, like
Mr. Simmons, he favors an increase in
the schools of FL Paso
Mr.. White has been a resident of this
city for % years, coming here from
Virginia. He entered the grocery bust
ness when he first came here and has
co9tinued in that line of endeavor since.
1t was IA years ago that he entered
business for himself and he is now the
head of the firm of w. G. White d Co.,
having built the building which his
business now occupies five years ago.
'El Paso needs schools" said Mr..
White. l favor any movement where
by this city viii increase its schooling
efficiency and whereby it viii arrive
at that stage where every child of
school age has ample accommodations
for attending school. The city has
grown so rapidly that in manye cases
schools that were adequate a few years
ago are now Inadequate. Take, for in
stance, the Alta Vista school. When
was told that only three rooms were
required. Eight rooms are now too
few. The same conditions exist in
many localities.
Above all else, Eel Paso must educate
her children, and any administration
that does not work to this end is not
giving a square. deal to the people. The
building of schools takes time, and con-
ditiOns are changing rapidly. There
