The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1915-12-18

When Tom Watson's case was called in Angus
IA, Ca, November 20, Rome hoped 10 secure a con-
viction which would have steeled the intimidAtors
10 the stupendous task they have before them and
would also, perhaps, have prepared the public for
the worst in the trial 10 be heard at Joplin in Jan.
uary-The Menace case.
With Watson convicted the prosecution Of The
Menace editors would il was hoped be pressed with
greater zeal and with greater probability Of success
precedent was wanted and Watson was selected
as the goat-but the plan missed fire. hung jury
gives little encouragement, ESPECIALLY WHEN
ONLY TWO HOLD OUT FOR CONVICTION.
As early as the summer Of 1911 the powers Of
Rome determined to get" Tom Watson. Since
that time the inquistonal fury Of Rome's persecu-
ton has been busy in various ways with the destruc
tion Of the Jeffersonian and The Menace, in any
way possible, as the definite end Of their efforts.
Even as late as August Of this year. at the conven
ton of the American Federation Of Catholic socie-
ties held in Toledo, Ohio, it was asserted that &C
ton must be taken against anti Catholic papers, and
The Menace and Tom Watson were named as spe-
ciic offenders against the mother church"
The postmaster general had been besieged with
requests and demands that these publications be
barred from the mails, but without success. Then
the Federation began political effort to have the
postal laws changed in such a way that THEY
WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO SUCH PAPERS
AS ROME WISHED TO DESTROY. Fitzgerald
sent 10 congress for that specific purpose and,
according to a report Of that convention which ap-
pesred in the Boston Pilot, AuO 81 1915, he was
"spurred to activity" by the Fe~eration but failed
again to get the results desired.
The fight against Tom Watson and The Menace
is directly chargeabe to Rome. II is the nqusition
in action, but without some of the horrors of the
ancient system. Though Catholics and the Romish
press would have the public believe that the United
States is solely responsible for the prosecution it is
nevertheless the result of deep laid plan of the
papacy TO push her prosecuting activities under
cover Of the courts she has long labored to control
ROME HAS USED POLITICAL TREACH-
ERY TO PLACE MEN IN OFFICE WHO COULD
BE USED TO HER ADVANTAGE. She has fas-
tened her collar upon unconscious slaves who do not
know that she is pulling the strings which move
them To action. SUCH Is THE DEADLY EFFECT
OF HER sUBTLETY AND VILE.
The men who must conduct the prosecution
Rome has brought against Watson and The Menace
are, perhaps acting conscientiously and without u
terror motives but the invisible hand of Rome has
placed them in that position and invisible influences
are pressing them on to do the will of Rome. They

A few years ago the Romish cardinals
got Taft to remove the Masonic emblems
from the National Cemetery at Arlington
because they were obnoxious to the
church. The very same RomiSh prelates
wanted the religious garb of the nuns
and the priests retained in the Indian
schools, and this was allowed them. Now
look at them in other countriesl An
American recently returned from an ex'
tended visit in South America and he
says that the prelates, monks, and nuns

ROME is THE PROSECUTOR IN BOTH CASES
Watson was not permitted 70 show the motive
which prompted him to publish the matter so siren
uously objected 10 by Rome. He was not permitted
TO show the chain Of activities which paved the way
for persecution and prosecution. The animus Of the
prosecution was submerged and it was repeatedly
pointed out that he was being tried solely for a
specific violation Of the penal code He branded
as a criminal because he dared to print and circu-
late matter that his prosecutors themselves print
and mail with impunity.
II will be so in Joplin when The Menace comes
