FLY SPECIAL Is BACK.
Santa Fe X. S. A. c. Train Has Re-
turned From Hessian Bug Region.

The Santa Fe Railway company's
bug special returned this morning
from the central Kansas wheat terri
tory where experts from the state ag-
ricultural college aboard the train,
told several thousand farmers how to
plant their wheat this year in order
to be free from the Hessian fly next
year
IF the advice OF the college men is
taken" said H. NJ. Banner, agricul-
turaI demonstration of the Santa Fee,
Kansas will have little trouble with
the Hessian fly in the future. The
tests of the college experiment station
have covered a period of eight years
and wherever farmers have followed
the Manhattan suggestion about soil
preparation and planting, the activity
of the Hessian fly visitors has been
reduced to the minimum.
I'm the territory where fly damage
is the heaviest we found farmers who
took the college advice last year They
have good wheat. 1 interviewed farm
ers at every stop made by the bug
special, and, Judging from what they
said, 1 am convinced that the modern
methods will be adopted for fighting
the fly
Mr.. Banner explained briefly that
the college recipe is for early disking
to kill the fly in the so-called flax seed
stage found IN the wheat roots, and
then deep blowing to bury the eggs
laid in volunteer wheat.

1t was stated at a recent convention
in Chicago, of the International rail-
way fuel association that powdered
coal was certain to be factor in the
future Chicago for several years has
been clamoring for smoke abatement.
The demand is based on the belief that
the terminals should be electrified.
The railways, realizing that this pro-
ject would cost in the neighborhood of
$3.50, 1000, 900, and require six years for
completion, have objected. They have
co-operated with smoke abatement so
cieties and in that city alone employ
fifty private inspectors at an annual
salary cost of $4,000.

KANSAS FOOD Is PURE.
Constant Improvement as Result of
Law and Public Demand.

food supply of Kansas is constantly
improving, according to Investigations
made in the Agricultural college food
laboratory of which Dean j. T. Will
lard is director and c. a. y. UT is as
sociate analyst. For the year ending
June 1, 1880 samples were analyzed
and approximately 90 per cent were
found free from adulteration This
is much higher figure than was oh
tanned even last year.
The decrease in adulteration of
food products said Mr.. UT, lis due
in part to the enforcement of the law
and in part of public demand for pure
food, which has been stimulated by
laws on the subject

From Iowa Points to "A. c.

Washington, June 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission today
pronounced unreasonable and unlaw-
full joint class freight rates, already
cancelled on carload lots of grain

Kansas City board of trade, exceeded
the total of the intermediate local
rates and the commission found them
to be in violation of the long and short
haul clause.
ReparatiOn to the board of trade
was refused because it was not an i'm

Of particular interest at this time
in connection with efforts on the part
of various railroads of the country to
obtain more remunerative rates on
passenger traffic, is the decision of
the New York court of appeals, which,
in effect, says that increased commu-

points in Westminster county, were
ordered cancelled by the public serv-

THE eyEFFERSONHAN
How Many Roman Catholics
KNOW the Law of Their
Church Against Bible
READING? :.

see, quoted the papal law against the read
ing of the Scriptures by the laity, the Cath
olics who are not in the priesthood.
The papal lar, based upon the DEGREES Of
the Council of Trent. actually requires a
Catholic layman to get written license from
his priest, before he can have and use the
Bible
Yet Hardeman, like Cardinal Gibbons, and
the Sunday Visitor" &C., contended that
there was no such law.
The priests try to deceive the people by
telling them that 1t is only the Protestant
Bible they object to; but the papal laws
quoted by me specifically mention Catholic
Bibles, also.
In fact, the Roman Catholic prelates-
including Dr. William Poynter, Vicar-Apos-
tolic of the London district-testifed before
an English Commission (Lord Brougham in
the chair) that even the Douay Catholic
Bible, with all it's notes. could not be read
by the Catholic layman without the per-
mission Of his priest.
The Pope's Vivar-Apostolc. Dr. POINTER
said, in reply to question by Lord Brough-
am, as to the reading, of Catholic Scrip
lures, By Catholic zoynaen-
"Their reading of them without the APP
probation and permission of their pastors,
IS not agreeable to the regulations of the
Council Of Trent"
Paul praised Timothy because Timothy
had studied the Bible, from his youth up
This proves that neither Paul nor Timothy
was papist, and that neither Of them could
have Endorsed the law of the Roman church.
The Council of Trent takes us back to the
sixteenth century, and some folks may be
under the impression that the Catholic law
has changed since then.
But it hasnt-eXcept in the matter of de-
claring, in 1854, that Mary's mother was not
the daughter of Mary7s grandfather, but was
the offspring of divinity; and of declaring,
in 1870, that the Pope was infallible, just
as God u.s.
With these exceptions. the Romanism of
today is the same. IN its lars and its 9etq-
poses. as it was in the sixteenth century.
Probably you have heard Of the Jansenist
''heresy," and of the Bull, ugenitus which
Pope Clement XI. issued against it, in 1913.
Father Quesnel, learned Roman Catholic
priest in France, published a book under the
title, "The New Testament, with Moral Re-
fectiOns"
From this book, the Pope extracted 1O1
propositions which he officially condemned.
Being infallible, he could not err on a mat
ter of that kind.
Eight of the propositions which Pope

the Bible, and were condemned, on that
ground alone.
The eightieth proposition was
"zhe reading OF the Holy Scriptures IS
for everybody"
Pope Clement damned this teaching, and
ordered his clergy to coerce Catholics into
rejecting it.
The 82nd proposition was
"The Lords day ought to be 8omctifed By
Christians IN reading pious books, and a6ove
all, BY READING THE HOLY SCRIP
TURES"

that murdered William Tyndale the CATH

Nea0 Testament IN English.
| have copy of the old book which cost
that brave Catholic his life, and it thrills
me to touch it-thrills more than it would
excite me to touch the sword that Caesar wore,
or the sceptre that Robert Bruce held in his
heroic hand.
William Black was as truly martyr to
free speech, as William Tyndale was to the
free Bible!
The church that murdered Catholic for
giving common men one part of the Truth,
will murder Protestants for giving common
men other parts Of the Truth.
The local priest at Marshall, Texas, was in
close consultation with the Knights of Co.
lumbus, few minutes before they went to
Blacks room to kill him.
One of the assassins, Ryan, stated to the
court at the preliminary trial, that Black
invited them into his room, and that the con-
VersatlOn immediately turned on the lectures
he had been delivering in the Courthouse
Rogers asked Black:
care you the man who has been lecturing,
&C."
Black answered that he was Then Rogers
said, 1--WE want you to agree to not lecture
any more, and to leave town."
Black answered, saying that he could not
agree to do this
Rogers said, "You are not going to lecture
again. and you are going to leave town.
Black answered.
Il ana going to lecture again tonight and
am not going to leave town."
Ryan himself said that Rogers Immediately
seized Black, and the sworn testimony showed
that Ryan placed his pistol in Blacks breast
and shot him through the heart
Black never got a chance to even fight for
his life
Clarence Hall drew when he saw the as
sassins draw; and as they were killing Black
the brave Georgian blazed away at the five
assas8ins. killing one, dropping another, and
putting the others to flight
Isn't it a shame that Bishop Canevin's pa
per should SO distort the facts, as to make
it appear that Black and Hall attacked these
five Knights of Columbus, who were sent to
Blacks room to murder him 2"
Isn't it a shame that these priests. who sell
carloads of ''miraculous medals" to their
poor dupes, and who pretend to control
saints" that find lost horses, lost money, col
lect bad debts, cure hog cholera, &C., should
stlgmatize anybody as "a faker2"
William Black may not himself have been
saint, and he may never have been priest
but he didn't rob the poor by pretending to
have lot of saints to work for him, and to
cure all sorts Of diseases, at 50 much per
cure.
William Black may have been a liar; but
he never saw the day he could lie like the
average editor of a Romanst paper
If liars are to be murdered, the Pope, and
most of his priests would be in bad way,
for the most phenomenal imposture and false
hood the world ever saw, is the papacy.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-06-03

The 83rd proposition of Father Quesnel
was, that qO0naen should be a1l0aUed to read
sacred books.
The Pope rejected and condemned that
proposition, also.
The 84th proposition of Father Quesnel
was, that the closing of the New Testament
to the Christian laity, was $40 other than to
close up the mouth Of Christ in regard to
them"
The Pope cursed and banned this doctrine,
also.
Quesnel contended that, to forbid the read
ing Of the Holy Scriptures is, to forbid the
use of light to the children of light.
The Pope damned this proposition; and
his official decree went on to say
owe do. by this our Constitution, whicb
shall be of perpetual force and obligation,
condemn and reject every one Of said propO-
sltlons as false, captious, shocking, offensive
to plous ears, scandalous, pernicious, rash,
injurious to the church and her practice
seditious, impious, blasphemous, suspected Of
heresy, and plainly savoring thereof, and
likewise favorimg heretics &C."
This frightful decree against Bible-read-
ing-against exactly the practice which Paul
praised, and encouraged, which Peter praised
and encouraged, and which Christ praised
and encouraged-concludes In the following
words:
"Let one therefore, infringe, or audaciously
oppose this our declaration, condemnation man

presume to attempt this, let him know that he

Lacing as a trimming is revived in
the way of novelty every once in a
while. and. judging from it's present
vogue, this is one time. There is some
thing quantity attractive about the
fad. but in many cases it is overdone.
Just a touch is all that is needed, and
IL usually occurs at the neck and
sleeve ends of blouse. and. possibly,
the girdle.
Here in the model sketched we find
the sleeve ends laced and the back of
the bodice. That last sounds incon-
venient, doesn't It? But the effect is
really too pretty to forego. and, be-
sides. the world is full of kindly dis
posed souls. who can ON most occa sions
be induced to help one in and out of
dificult things and thus save us con-
tortions.
In geranium mcoral faille or any of the
lovely rose tones this chic little frock
will commend itself to those of you
who love pretty clothes The lacings
are merely narrow bias folds of the
silk knotted at the ends and run
through strongly buttonholed eyelets

the armholes Of the bodice, it will be
