AS USUAL, OUR FRIEND SHOWS
A CLEAR INSIGHT INTO
EVENTS.

Dear Sir: Your able article on
the Frank case, in your June 10th
issue, demands this question, ''Have
we become lawless nation?" The
Hans Schmidt case, through Roman
Catholic judges and juries, was de-
lied and hidden from the public by
the invisible power of priests and
judges Of courts. The drunken
priest-murderer, Mullin, of Chicago,
was petted and coddled until able to
stand trial, which was merely farce,
to the lasting disgrace of Chicago
courts, as there was wide-open, day.

the laws of the United States are
supposed to apply equally alike to all
races, religions or nationalities.
Each State of the United States
has, in bygone years, held murderers,
under the law, alike. No State law
could do more or less. Now, the
tendency is growing to evade the
laws, even Of the vilest kind If a
life shall no longer pay the penalty
of taking life, then the people must
arise and demand another method.
For treason to our country, which
means the politicians who sell their
country for votes, to any bosses, any
organizations, any races, like Jew,
Catholic, or any foreign nation, resi-
dent in our country, or for protect
ing criminals by invisible power of
votes and large sums of cash-for
these two crimes, of treason and
murder, the penalty must be impris-
Onment for life, or the death penalty
Every criminal now expects if he gets
life sentence to be paroled or par
doned. That is one reason the des-
perate methods are used to make it
a life sentence. If it is understood
that no parole or pardon can be in
yoked or allowed there would be less
1awbreaking; and, if the fiat goes
forth that no priest or Catholic can
commit murder and go free OF pun
ishment-that they must obey all
law the same as other people dove
will bid defiance to the popes COM
mand, "Moto propu," also his cussed
foreign, arrogant law, ''Ne temere."
American people respect their
laws, and accept the punishment if
they break the laws, but a foreign
potentate, the Italian pope, seeks to
flood our country with his drunken,
criminal, licentious priests, then de-
mand that our laws be null and void
when those priests commit the worst
of crimes. 1t looks as though the
United States were made the dump
ing ground of all nations. who load
upon us their criminals, insane, i'm
beetles and thieves and those who
will not work, but become parasites
upon cities, taxpayers and charities.
Our Congressman have got to I'M
derstand that they begin to obey the
United States Constitution, next ses-
sion of Congress, or hell will boil
over
The American people will no
longer stand defiance of their wishes
and demands, and as the appointive
power Of the President has filled
every Office in the United States with
Catholic incumbents, we are having
too much pope and priest defiance
of our bedrock laws. We have got
the Constitution, and, as Old Hick-
DRY said, "By the eternal, we will
stand by it to the limit. Our law
plainly says, Congress shall make
no law establishing religion" yet

ceived, dared to establish Jesuit
chaplains in our American Army,

their confessional boxes, and with
