The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1915-06-12

Nk ganization of The Free Press
Liz. Defense League must be in the
mails by midnight of June Ia.
Contributions mailed after that hour will
hot be accepted The work of the tempo
.rary organization draws to close. Soon a
permanent league, incorporated under the
laws of Kansas, equipped with great le-
gal bureau and various legislative bureaus
Twill be established. This will be done in
keeping with the pledge made by the Of
ficers of the temporary organization when,
without remuneration or hope of profit,
they launched The Free Press Defense
League to protect American institutions
from the Vaccinations of Rome.
Flag Day is at hand. June IA was the
day set for the trial of Marvin Brown, w.
Z. Phelps, the Rev. Theodore G. Walker
and B. M. Phelps upon the charge of send
ing obscene matter through the mails. Let
it be said once more, so there may be no
reader of The Menace who does not know
it, that this indictment was inspired by the
Romanist hierarchy and the real crime
of these four men was not the publication
of obscenity but the preaching of patriot
ism. The best testimony to the falsity of
the statement that The Menace is obscene
is the nearly 100000 clean, pure Amer
lean homes into which it is welcomed each
week.
Since it was for the preaching of pa
triotism that the Romanist hierarchy pro-
posed to imprison these men and destroy
The Menace, and since the hierarchy
through technicalities, attempted to use
/ the courts to crush this patriotic news
paper, the officers of The Free Press De-
fense League conceived the notion of max.
ing Flag Day, which was the trial day, the
final rallying point of the first campaign
In the name of American liberty it ac-
cepted the challenge of Rome and called
Upon all patriots and the lovers of liberty
everywhere to rally upon Flag Day, that
There might be assembled under the
League, the greatest patriotic army anG
ythe greatest "war fund" that any institu
ition had ever raised to protect land thai

Rome's Huge SIush Fund

Ta d A@lLMOST upon the eve of Flag Day,
NIA an officer of the Free Press De-
VIJ fense League learned upon un-
sTsloSN questionable authority that Rome,
49, in her desperate fear that The
Menace might escape, had levied special
assessment upon the members of all Cath
olic secret societies in the United States.
What the assessment upon the Catholic Or
der of Foresters, the Militia of Christ, the
Hibernians, the Clan ma Gael and Knights
of st. John was, has not as yet been
learned. But each of the 100000 Knights
of Columbus in the United States is COM
PEELED to pay S. into fund for the sup
preston of such newspapers as The Men
ace. The assessment upon the Knights of
Columbus will amount to S1,500,000.
With this terrific slush fund, aug
mented by other millions from the orders
named, what cannot Rome do in the way
of terrorism and corruption? Commanded
by men of Jesuitical cunning, captained by
those skilled in intrigue, what cannot the
Romanist politicians with such fund as
this at their disposal, do for the subversion
of our liberties?
The Free Press Defense League hoped
to have raised the greatest fund ever de-
voted to battle over American freedom
Rome has succeeded in doing so. But re-
gardless of the odds, the fight goes on. II
will not, shall not, end while those dangers
to our institutions which called The Free
Press Defense League into being continue
to exist.
The League set its mark at one million
members and fund of one million dollars
1t had hoped to reach that mark by Flag
Day. This cannot be done but the response
has been such as to show that by the time
The Menace and its editors go to trial ir
January there will be permanently or
ganized Free Press Defense League with Z
million members and million dollars.
The defiant challenge of Rome is not II
pass without some fitting reply upon be
half of American patriotism.

Remember Patriotic Press

HHAE NEANWHlLE, let no paCr1oC, no
INV lover of liberty, forget our patri-
otic press. 1t is the watchman
NSCS upon the tower of freedom. 1t Is
SS4S9 the guardian of our rights, which
protects us while we sleep. 1t is the first
and foremost obstacle to the program of
Rome which has hoped and still hopes to
convert the United States into province
of the "Holy See" and make America Ro1
manist indeed. Ts>s -
1t was for this that Rome marked The
Menace for extinction. 1t was for this that
the hierarchy planned, once it should hayeI
disposed of The Menace, to wipe out scmeI
three hundred other publications, some oil
them Protestant, some Of them MasDnic|
and some of them purely patriotic. ~ \
The connection of The Free Press De-
fense League with The Menace will end
when it shall have defended the so-calledi
Menace case. The League is an independ-I
ent body. But the officers of The League,
would feel themselves recreant in their
duty if they did not advise patriots every
where to do all in their power to enlarge
the circulation of The Menace and similar
papers. In the war on Rome for the pro-
lection of American rights, these newspa-
pers are the 42-centimeter guns. 1t is their
bombardment that counts. 1t is the part
of every one who realizes the danger of
Romanist oppression to see that the unen-
ightened receive the light through such a.
publication.
