declare that those who express a
preference for tho Roman Cath
olic church receive every possible
attention and courtesy at the hands
Of the nurses and attendants, while
other patients are treated with
cold indifference or neglect, and
that any complaint touching this
discrimination is usually met by
sending the complaining patient to
the insane asylum or eNpelling him
from the hospital and the home.
All the mail belonging TO hospital
patients passes through the hands
Of Roman Catholic sisters of the
Sacred Heart, and no patient is per-
mitted to receive Protestant or pa
triotic papers while in the hospital.
Even literature from the fraternal
orders is excluded, and patients to
whom such literature is addressed
are not permitted to remain long in
the hospital.
The present chief surgeon at the
hospital is Lieutenant Colonel j.
ID. Glennon. Partially an d
discrimination in the manage
ment has filled the home with Ro-
man Catholics. while the relative
number of Protestant inmates has
been greatly reduced. The Prot
estants that remain are being made
to feel that their days as inmates
are virtually numbered unless they
become Roman Catholics; and, as
most of them ere unable to earn Q
living. a considerable number have
Yielded to the pressure and been
forced into the Roman Catholic
church. Men who fought for our
rights and liberties are thus de-
priyed of their own and are forced
to surrender their religious free
dom OF be expelled from the home
provided out of their own
meager salaries. Protestant in
mates Of the home have complained
in some instances that their medical
records have been falsified under
/ the supervision of the Romanist
medical and surgical corps so that
such patients are unable to obtain
pensions to which they are justly
entitled.

Mr.. p n. Callahan, a we'll known
varnish maker of Louisville, Ken

placed at the head of this commit
tee whose effort is to cover up, or
hide the vital issue between Rome
and Amerioa-the Knights and the
patriots.
A large sum Of money was sub

them before Protestant audiences

Florida, was overwhelmingly nomi-
mated for United States senator at

partial returns show the race to be
close between Sidney J. Cats and
Vim. V. Knott for governor.
Governor Trammell is an out

the Romanists ever since he en-

less successful than was anticipated,
and so Mr.. Scott of Los Angeles,
California, has been carefully
groomed and brought out with
flourish of trumpets and great

Mr.. Scott is a renegade Protes-
