Mrs Curley. the Rev. Charles Lyon, of Boston
College; the Rev. Paul Revere rockingham, of
the Arlington Street Church, and SO forth.
Notice that Cardinal O'Connell was given
precedence over the Governor position he
claimed under Governor Foss. but could not
get Governor Walsh knuclled all ri0ht. and
it is pleasure to state the voters of Massa-
chusetts defeated this gubernatorial foot
klsser for re election.
Here IS another fine instance. of Knights
of Columbus and Pcpish attempt at dictation
In political affairs:
Mr. Gailivan wired President Wilson October
Is that unless absolute guarantee was given to
the Catholic Church authorities in Mexico that
church property in that country would be pro-
teGted and priests and nuns assured of
ton of the atrocities committed by the followers
of both Carranza and Villa, he would Immediately
organize 4 Congressional movement against
ogntion of CarranZa.
The Congressman received an immediate an
from Secretary Tumulty that his protest had
been received by President Wilson and referred
to Secretary Lansing. Mr.. Lansing sent word to
Mr. Gailiran that October 27, Eliseo Are
dondo, the Washington representative of Carran-
"a, had, after inquiry as to the intents and pur-
poses of Carranza in relation to religious affairs
addressed TO the Department of State the follow
ing communication:
Il have the honor to say that inasmuch as the
establishment of peace within law and order
is the purpose Of the Government Of Venustiano
Carrauza to the end that all the inhabitants of
Mexico without exception, whether nationals
foreigners, may equally enjoy the benefits of true
justice, and hence take interest in cooperating
to the support of the Government, the Laws OF
Reform. which guarantee individual freedom of
worship, according to everyones conscience, shall
be strictly observed
Therefore the Constitutionalist Government
will respect everybody's life, property and relig
ious beliefs without other limitation than the
preservation Of public order and the observance
Of the institutions, in accordance with the laws
in force and the Constitution of the republic.
Gallivan is the Congressman who has been
trying to make new law that would exclude
the Protestant Bible from the mails.
His bumptous telegram to the President
was an affront for the recognition OF General
Carranza by our government was an executive
act, beyond the control Of Congress.
The United States Congress has no more
to do with the internal affairs of Mexico, than
with those Of France, Portugal, Germany or
any other foreign country.
Has Gallivan been sending any kilograms
to the President in regard to the butchering
of Armenians by the Turks?,
No, he hasn't The Armenans are not
papists, although their Christianity is older
than Popery; therefore the Gallivans. O'Con-
nells, Keileys. and Gibbonses care nothing for
100000 Armenian Christians the Turks have
massacred.
Anybody who closely reads the answers
made by Lansing to Gallivan and Matre, will
at once see that Carranza made no compro-
mise with Rome or upon the Roman question.
He stood squarely by the constitution and
laws Of his country; and, under those laws,
converts and monasteries are prohibited,
Jesuits are banished. and all churches denied
the right to own land
