Wheat Strength Helps Corn.

Prospects of larger receipts tended
to weaken corn. The strength of wheat,
however, acted as an offset. After
opening . shade to !. lower the mar
ket rallied to about yesterdays finish.
oats showed Independent strength.
There was continued active buying on
the theory that oats were at too wide
a discount as compared with corn.
Selling pressure on lard weakened
the provision list whole. Higher
prices on hogs were apparently ig
nored.
AfterWard tho market hardened in
response to a comparative let up in the
profit taking by longs in lard. Gov
eminent figures on farm animals came
too late to have any effect on the bulk
of the days business.
Subsequently the wheat mark ct
touched new high price records for the
1915 crop. Seaboard interests We're
credited with being big buyers. The
close was buoyant, "a to 3 net higher,

IETlHE history Of the United
III States presents few cases
.Ik Of political trehchery and be-
A trayal Of the people so bold
and deliberate as that BY which the
Burnett immigration bill is being
DELAYED and slaughtered in the
senate by friends Of the administra-
tion al the instance Of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy with the sanction
Of the pope. II the American peo-
pie were fully aware Of the course
these plant politicians are pursu-
ing there would be an outburst Of
popular indignation seldom equaled
in this country.
The Burnett immigration bill
passed the house March 80, this
year. More than four months have
elapsed since Il came 10 the Senate
and was referred to the immigration
committee. II is clearly the delib-
crate purpose Of the administration
and its political friends who control
the senate 10 prevent this measure
from being reported out Of the COM
mittee before the November cleo
ton. Friends Of the administration
have avowed this on the floor Of the
senate.
On July %, in answering the re-
quest Of Senator Poindexter for
consideration of the immigration
bill. Senator Reed Of Missouri re-
minded Poindextcr that the presi-
dent had once vetoed the immigra-
tion bill, and in reply to the pro-
posal that it be now passed as an
amendment TO the child labor bill,
made the following observation:
'Mr. Reed. In view Of the fact
that he vetoed the immigration bill
before, giving very strong reasons
for it, it follows that he will almost
certainly be compelled to veto both
Of these measures If they are tied
together. Therefore ! say that no
sincere friend Of the child-labor bill
ought to want to jeopardize it by at
taching the immigration bill.

THE INQUISITION

Those who believe the Inquisition is thing
of the past are deceived The fact is, this
cruel institution is still in full swing wherever
the Romanists control.
In the Jail at Litchheld, Minnesota, lies
sweltering these hot August days one of the
best patriotic workers In America. He was
arrested and carried before Romanist Judge,
charged with selling obscene literature. He
was selling book which contains extracts
from Eguori's Moral Theology" This book
as was proven in The Menace trial at Joplin,
is standard text book Of Theology and
studied by ell Roman Catholic priests. It con.
tains the vile and suggestive questions which
priests must ask female penitents in the con-
fessional
This patriot, Frank B. Jordan, one of our
strong fine lecturers and workers, when he
was arrested and carried before Judge DAILY,
a Romanist at LitchAeld, made his own de-
Tense. The jury stood eleven to one for &C.
quittsl and finally THE JUDGE SENT TO
THE JURY ROOM WITH OUT THE CON-
SENT OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE DE-
PENDANT the following instructions: IN
The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1916-08-19

you find beyond a reasonable doubt the de-
fendant sold any book containing the obscene
language set out in the indictment you should
find him guilty.-R. +. DAILY, Judge"
It will be noticed that this Judge himself
was determining that the language was OBJ
scene when that was the very question the
jury was called to decide. After being thus
directed, the eleven jurors who had held out
for aoquittal, finally came over to the one
man, a pro-Romanist, and the verdict of
guilty was returned.
The Free Press Defense League learning Of
this situation, in which one Of our patriots
was placed by the unlawful conduct of the
Judge before whom he was tried, has sent
7. T. Latimer, a patriotic lawyer Of Mime
spolis, Minnesota TO Litchheld to assist in
securing the release of our patriotic friend.
No effort will be spared to correct the in
Justice which has been done to this American
citizen.
The Inquisition, which in this instance Is
the Roman Catholic hierarchy, must remove

T0o1INCE MARCH 1st, Of the
ILO present year, The MENACE
Ih has given its readers the de-
~ tailed and authentic reports
Of five notable examples of Roman
Catholic criminal lawleSsness in the
war which the subjects Of the SOW
creign on the Tiber arc waging
against two OF tho most vital guar
antees Of the organic law Of our
land.
This week we present a story Of
Official ldwleSSneSS which shows how
far the republic is drifting from the
moorings Of FUNDAMENTAL
DEMOCRACY, and how rapidly
our FEDERAL CONSTITUTION
is becoming a dead letter in some
Of its most vital provisions since
the Knights Of Columbus, the
Jesuits. and the American Fedora
ton Of Catholic Societies, or in a
word, the Roman Catholic political
machine has undertaken to SUBJ
stitute the papal for the democratic
system Of government.
Rome is nothing, II not intoler-
ant, yet probably acting on the
theory Of the thief who imagined
that by Justify shouting, stop
thief" he could divert attention
from himself, she never tires Of de-
nouncing all true Americans who
Loyalty defend our liberal democrat
&c constitution and system Of gov
ernment, as intolerant bigots. In
tolerance, fanaticism and bigotry
sooner or later, invariably express
themselves in lawlessness and GRIM
inal acts which menace the rights
Of the citizens and the peace of So
ciety. 1t is easy to cry intolerance
and bigotry, but this cry is bound
10 fall to the ground unless there
arc evidences in lawless acts or high
handed attempts to interfere with
the rights of Others, and this brings
US face to face with a fact which
every thinking American, whether
Catholic or Protestant should con-
slider, and because it has a vital
bearing upon the contention Of the
Free Press Defense League, as en-
bodied in its resolutions to investi-
gate the papacy, which are now be-
fore congress, we wish to notice it
before considering the case of Off
cial lawlessness at Syracuse, New
York.
An Illuminating Historic Fact
There are about fourteen million
Roman Catholics in the United
States. and there are about eighty
fire million Ron-Romdn Catholics in
the republic. Yet since the Roman
hierarchy started its campaign TO
make America dominantly Roman
= Catholic-since the great papal
American Federation of Catholic
Societies commenced its campaign
Of boycotting, censorship and polit-
ical meddling, and since the
knights of Columbus, the most Of
ficious Of the many secret oath
bound Roman Catholic societies be-
came active in American politics,
there has gone forward throughout
the republic, a series Of appalling
criminal acts, embracing Ioting,
m6bOeracy, CRIMINAL laplessness,
ms2derous assaults and spes mur-

by Officials SubserVient to Rome

and with Chancellor Kent, tho dig-
tinguishcd jurist and author Of
Commentaries on Imcrodn Lar
they are in hearty accord when he
saws:
II has, accordingly. become a constitu.

every citizen may freely speak. write and
publish his sentiments, On ell subjects,
being responsible for the abuse OF that
right, and that no law can rightfully be
passed 70 restrain or Abridgo the free.
dom Of speech, or Of the press
On the other hand the Roman
Catholics hold 10 the papal system
which is in direct opposition to our
free democratic system. They hold
that the er cdthsdrd utternnces Of
the pope must be accepted as from
God, Himself. and among such ut
terances they have from the lips OF
Leo NH, the statement, that:
II is quite unlawful 20 demand, 10 do.
fcnd or 90 grant unconditional freedom
Of thought, Of speech, Of writing, or Of
worship.
Here is the crux Of the whole
question, the respect for the consti-
tuition and law shown by the eighty
five million non-Roman Catholics,
is the Legitimate fruit Of the liberal
democratic system Of government.
The criminal lawlessness mobocracy,
rioting, murderous assault, murder,
boycott, and censorship that has
been employed by the Roman Cath
olics, is the natural fruit Of the pa
pal teachings and system.
The millions Of aroused patriots
who are today ready TO say with
their ballot, to political Romanism
Thus far shalt thou 90, and no
further are not Wdr7ing against
the religion Of Roman Catholics, un-
less that religion is leading the Ro-

MENTAL DEMOCRACY. This
fact must never be lost sight Of.
With us il is a case Of
America First
because are hold that America, or
her liberal democratic constitution
and system Of gorernmeHt smbodies

man rights that are the hope Of The
WOrld.
This brings us to a consideration
Of the present story OF lawlessness
Of officials in which We have another
distinct phase Of the nationwide at
tempt of the Roman hierarchy and
its props TO destroy our most cher
ished and priceless liberties. For
years the anti-democratic papal sub

potic bludgeon Of the boycott in
