Following his remarks Bishop Cooke
spoke on the same subject, declaring
that some of the secular papers that 60
into our homes every day in the year
are promoters of iniquity'' and a
positive disgrace. The hope of im-
proving the reading in homes lay in
great measure with the religious pa
pers.
Rev. R. A. Beardsley of the Spring

greetings of that denomination and
Rev. George E. Tomkinson, pastor of

No Lake Trout at sponord Lake.

1t has been reported on the street here
that by authority of the state fish and
game commissioner, fishermen were out on
Spofford lake last week, in an attempt to
land lake trout, but so far as known no
one was successful Trout of this species
were placed in the lake some time ago, but
there are apparently not many there now
and many people believe that they have
not survived. It has also been reported
that the screening at the outlet of the lake
is in bad shape Within few days two
large pike have been found in the canal
below the screen. One of these fish
weighing about six pounds, was dead anc
the other, weighing Il pounds, was all cut
up on its back, probably as result o
getting through hole in the screen. :

Matre officially declared that the United States
government acted, when the Catholic Federation
asked for action.
The government had not acted, nor even noticed
the publication in any way, save to admit it to
the mails, collect postage, carry it, and period
ically inspect plant.
The government had never even limited OBJ
lection to the magazine; but when the Fedora
ton of Catholic Societies demanded action it
found Comstock and some others ready to do the
work of the Pope's American Societies.
In brief / indicted CD for publishing a
quotation in a dead language from a Roman
Catholic book; CD for ascribing to pagan Phal-
lie worship certain vestment worn by Catholic
priests and nuns, said vestment being the symbol
of procreaton and racial reproduction; and CD
for ridiculing the American '"Prnces" of the
Italian Potentate, whose sworn subjects they are;
and Cd for writing up the case of the escaped
New Jersey nun, who claimed to have been raped
by the priests, and who said she had borne chill
dren in the convent
Now, bearing in mind that Anthony Matre
officially stated that my prosecutor was The
American Federation of Catholic Societies;
and that it was proved at the trial in Au-
gllsta that the Postoffice Department never
moved in the matter, but on the contrary, re-
quested that the warrant be dismissed, you
can better understand the bitter disappoint-
ment voiced in the Kentucky Irish american,
published in Louisville, and no doubt express
ing the views of p II. Callahan, the Pope s
American Inquisitor-General.

DO TIE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS STILL
THEY are hard hit, NASTY QUESTIONS?
THEY are hard hit !

THEY are hard hit!
By their year persecution Of the Jeffer-
sonian, they have at length got it on the Of
ficial record of the United States Court IN
Augusta, Georgia, that the secret questions
3hey pour into the ears Of ecouaen, IN the CON-
FeSstonQz boa, are Msspeahably riie, suggest
zee and degrading.
That feat was accomplished when Judge
Lambdin ruled that the defendant could tell
the Jury from what source he derived the
Latin. which the Government alleged to be
unfit for the judicial records.
Defendant showed the books, themselves,
one of them being the ''Moral Theology of
The Catholic, DR. Peter Dens.
The mistrial had hardly been dropped from
The buzz Of local conversation, before the
local priest, NJ j. Walsh, rushed into the
local Catholic paper, to make two points
Q) That Watsons attacks on the confess
sionaI impugned the character of every
Catholic woman. and
(o) That those hideous questions are no
longer asked
Ii is the favorite dodge of the red-faced,
thickneclzed bachelors of Rome to say, that
any attack on them involves the mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters of all Catholic
men.
In like manner, Wien France, Portugal,
or Mexico determines to shake off the in
tolelab!e incubus Of a lazy, Iiccnticus and
wealth grabbing priesthood, these shad-bellies
never fail to allcge that~atheists, anarchists,

A Roman Catholic Account OF the Watson Trial.

f anyone had lingering doubt as to who
started and persisted in the prosecution in
the above case, that doubt will disappear be-
fore the bowls of baffled rage set up by the
Pope's American subjects
Lest we forget, will again refresh your
memory as to the official report of Anthony
Matre, Secretary of the American Federation
of Catholic Societies.
That report was made to the national con-
yention of the Pope's treason organizations,
at Toledo, Ohio, this year.
Ellis report in part appears in The Irish World,
Of New York City, October 80, 1915.
In the issue named, appears, on page three,
an article headined in big capitals
/ 'sTOM WATSON ARCH-BIGOT."
Beneath this, appears in smaller caSitals the
following statement:
SOCIETIES PAYS IT'S RESPECTS TO TOM
WATSON"
The article goes on to quote from the official
states distinctly that, when the Federation of
Catholic Societies directed the attention of the
United States postal authorities toward this OBJ
scene and slanderous publication (Watsons Mag
azine) WATSON WAS ARRESTED"
Significance of Action.
Matre was giving report of the case to the
Toledo convention-WHY?
Because they were the prosecutors and wanted
to keep up with it.

ASH WOMEN THOSE
Watson Whines Persecution.

Why did he realistically resort to the am
blguous phrase, 1--WE are forbidden to say any,
thing that will cause scandal or sin?"
It was because he was leaving Jesuit
loop-hole for that flexible conscience of his.
When my case was expected to be tried
more than two years ago, the ex-priest, p. A.
Sequin, was in Augusta, selling an English
translation Of those horrible questions; and I
meant to use him as witness allowed
to prove that the education of a priest in
cludes those very questions, and that he is i'm
peratlyely required to use them.
Rev. Seguin had with him copy of
Liquors. Moral Theology which he had
studied at the seminary
This case was postponed by the Govern
ment, and Seguin returned to Michigan
If Rev. M. j. Walsh can prevail upon the
District Attorney to allow me to 90 into that
issue, at the May term, 1915, will prove that
the priests are forbidden not to ask those
questions and that they do ask them, and that
they are doing it right now, in the State Of
Georgia
Let Rec Wash zoooer the bars, If He
DARES!
1 have some recent cases that will create
profound sensation throughout the American
world, and nothing would please me more
than to be permitted to establish the absolute
truth Of those allegations which Rev. Walsh
is pleased to characterize as RECKLESS and
fanatical."

and Masons are making war on God"
Thus, in the one case, they identity their
masculine virginity with that of pure girls
and chaste women, while, in the other, they
calmly identify their greed, vice and super
stition with the Almighty.
Rev NJ. j, Walsh, says of the Romanist
priest:
He is forbidden under the severest penalties
that his church impose, to say insnuate
anything in the confessional, out of it, that
could be an occasion Of scandal or sin to others.
This is mere Jesuitical casuistry He does
not even deny that he is instructed to ask
those horrible questions, laid down by Curry,
Dens and Liguori.
He evades, by saying that priest is for
hidden to say anything that will occasion
scandal or sin, and his mental reservation"
is, that those nasty questions prevent scandal
and SIN
Walsh is a Jesuit and his theology teaches
him that he may use deceit, and even perjury,
if he can thereby serve the Roman Church.
He did not dare to deny, IN so many plain
qcords, that the priests now ask those ques-
tions.
Why didn't he?
He was discussing those very questions
questions made compulsory on the priests by
the textbooks of their theological seminaries
Why couldn't he say, like man, eve no
longer ask those QueStioas?"

The headline which my prosecutors place
over their article reads:
CHUNG JURY.

So you see, the prosecutors found it i'm
possible to tell the truth about so simple a
matter as to what it was that hung the jury.
Foreman Brown announced to Judge
Lambdln, IN open court and repeatedly that
the jury was divided on the evidence.
1t was a question of fact and not Of law
The technicalities had all been swept away
by the decision overruling the demurrer
There was not single "technicality'' left
for the jury to consider.
The prosecutors continue their report Of the
case as follows:
