Who Wants Taft?
By GILBERT o. NATIONS

Nol lCARCELY had the people
IIC heard of the death OF Justice
uH Lamar Of the Supreme
49, Court Of the United States
when a vigorous and well organized
movement was launched to place
Ex-President Taft on the bench as
his successor. The daily press in
those great cities that are notorious
ly dominated by the papal machine,
the liquor interests and the money
trust has appeared conspicuously
favorable TO this movement.
On January IL, the President re-
ceived letter urging the appoint
ment of Mr.. Taft. The letter was
dated in New York, January z, and
signed by thirty-two lawyers, nine
Of whom live in New York City,
three in Chicago, three in Phila.
delphia and three in Baltimore. The
Others live in various parts of the
country but chiefly in the other bic
cities. A liberal per cent of thesC
lawyers are the regular attorney,
Of vast corporations from whose in.
| fuence our courts should be KEEP
scrupulously clear.
By publicly opposing the adop
tion of the present Constitution O
Oklahoma with its clause outlaw
ing the liquor traffic, Mr.. Taf
showed that he is wrong on tn
liquor question. Both on the bencl
and in the presidency, his attitud
towards the predatory trusts wa
continually wrong. And no nation
al administration has ever equale,
his in unblushing subserviency b
the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
The American people decreed i
1912 by the most crushing majorit
in our political history that the
had no further use for Mr.. Taft /
public life, and the president ough
10 know enough TO let that deere
stand.

They had their day in court just tn
same, but the preponderanee Of evidence
being against them, the accused went
free. "The Catholic papers," says Mr.
Sweetland, "elaim there never was A.
Inquisition, that the so-oalled dark ages
were in reality light ages, but the fact.
are that the Inquisition is still on and

Said an ex.priest: "only when be-

became thoroughly acquainted with thou.

least 90 per cent Of them did not enjoy
either their holiness or the happiness
which the Roman Catholic church prom.

was not in the nuns and friars but in
the pernieious Romish system" "

That the Catholic church was not
on trial.
That il is a false doctrine that q
worthy end justihes an unworthy

That motives in publishing the
charges must be disregarded.
Nineteen exceptions 10 the in.
struchons were filed BY Mr.. Shep-
pard, including q general exception
to the whole list.
Among other exceptions to whicl
particular importance might be At

ruling that section 2ll Of the pena
code, under which the indictment
was brought, does not restrict free

that THE MENACE attacked the Ro-
man Catholic church, (which was
corrected by the court 10 meet de-
PENDANTS approyal) that the pur.
pose and motive and good faith Of
the defendants should not be shown
and that no other publications
should be considered.
The jury was given clippings
from the papers and book contain

the indictment as obscene, together
with enough Of the context TO show
the relative connection and mean

retired for the night-returning {,

for consideration OF the case.
At $3.50 p. m, Friday, Jan. Ia
the jury returned into court with |
verdict for acquittal on every coun

Of American freedom.
II was a tense period in fedora
court at Joplin when the juror
filed in from their room. Crowde,
