USE YOUR BRAINS AND
BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS

In the small days Of next November this
movement against political Romanism will
either achieve glorious victory or 90 down
to ignominious defeat. Which shall it be?
The five million earnest men and women, who
read these lines, will decide.
You, kind reader, are one of them. The
time has come to use your God given intelli-
gence in deciding a question of tactics. Will
you move straight ahead, as you have in the
past, to defeat papist and pro-papist candi-
dates for public Office, or will you allow your
selves to be used by professional politicians
for their own selfish purposes2
We, who watch the rise and progress Of
American sentiment from such centers as The
Menace plant and the Offices of the Free Press
Defense League, have unbounded faith in the
earnest men and women who have created
these mighty forces for national defense. But,
forget not that when the sons of God came to
present themselves before Jehovah, Satan
also came among them.
Satan, in human form, Is never absent
from such political campaign as that upon
which we are entering. He is there to serve
himself without consideration for such popu-
lar movements as this which you have built
with tireless labors and endless sacrifices. The
only safety lies in sticking to the text and
adhering TO the tactics that favors no in
dividual but makes for the common cause
What do we mean? Simply this: that, as
usual, there will be politicians eager in their
desire to ride this movement into Office They
will propose all kinds of impossible schemes
of which they are to get the benefit but
which would be suicidal to this cause. First
of these is the proposition to have a new
party and TO put forth separate set Of can
didates for president and vice-president.
The least consideration will convince sin
cere patroits that such course would be
fatal 1t is q wise movement that knows its
own strength and refuses to overtax that
strength by attempting the impossible. This
movement is not strong enough at this time
to carry a national election; and it IS far
better to realize and acknowledge that fact
now than to admit it after months of wasted
effort. There are other things Of greater
moment that we can do, and wisdom urges
that these practicable things should be done
We can, each and every one Of US, vote
against every papist and pro-papist candi-
date and, by so doing, but very few Of them
will be elected. By so doing we viii SO in
spire every party with the fear of righteous
ness that they will heed the warning and
eliminate pope-servers from their tickets in
the future. The defeat Of forty-eight con-
gressmen Of questionable allegiance two years

ago was the greatest blow ever struck for the
defense of America at the ballot box II can
be duplicated this year on a far greater scale.
But it can't be done by means Of new
party and another set Of candidates. The
idea may be attracti' 10 some who are per-
fectly sincere in entertaining it; indeed, not
a few of those who incline TO such step are
noble and sincere men whose integrity we
would not for a moment question, but reason
and calm Judgment should know better on
careful consideration. Let us learn from the
enemy. Do you suppose that the crafty
Jesuits, who manipulate Rome's politics,
would so much as think Of organizing Ro-
man Catholic clerical party2
They are too wise TO attempt such folly;
and II is 10 be hoped that we are also too
discreet 10 be caught in such trap. Let us
hold fast TO the tactics by which Rome, with
an insignificant voting strength, nearly cap
tured this country while the gaping multi
tudes imagined that the papacy was not in
politics.
It required no separate party to win those
splendid victories recently achieved in the
Oregon cities of Portland and Salem, in
Kansas City, and in the states of Florida and
Alabama. Had they been attempted by
means Of an additional party they would
have had the organized strength Of the other
parties 10 fght-an obstacle that could not
have been overcome.
Had such a course been attempted, we
would have had the old-party press and all
the old-party politicians arrayed solidly
against u.s. As 1t stands today, the press and
the party managers are more or less inclined
To- seek our favor and to get into our good
tgraces as well as of the enemy.
We have the whole field TO operate in so
long as we refrain from Withdrawing and
setting up separate organization. We have
sAl the elements opposed TO the papal system
united. Why drive them apart by such an
lill-considered move?
= Let us hold to the consistent course Of
cleansing all the parties from political trad
ing with popery. That course has the value
of simplicity and the virtue Of straight
forwardness II is q winner We know that the
men who made The Menace, and the women
who made those men courageous, have not
Adone so TO boost politicians. They have done
this great and noble work TO rid this country
of popery and defend our free institutions.
Let rs at this critical and momentous time
march TO the polls in solid phalanx TO defeat
political Romanism undivided by disruption
lists but united in the original and righteous
purpose Of preserving America free from the
blight Of popery.

Secret Organizations and Progress

In many Of the most crucial mo-

civilization, the causes Of spiritual
progress, human liberty and free
institutions have heen won OF main
tanned by the banding together Of
men and women Of vision and con-
viction, who placed the cause above
all thought Of self.
When the despotism Of pagan
Rome was shamed by the exalted
morality Of primitive christianity,
and the contagion Of righteousness
terrified the CPsars, prosecutions
we're carried on almost as terrible
as those which at a later date were
sanctioned by the pope OF Rome
Then the Christians banded them
selves together and met by stealth
in caves and fastncsses. that the
holy cause Of the Nazarene might
not suffer extinction, but these very
secret meetings were seized upon by
the forces of corruption and des-
potiSm as evidence Of iniquity. II
was claimed that the Christians
were meeting to plot against the
government, or TO practice the
nameless immoralities that had long
since sapped the moral virility Of
the pagan world. Many were mislead
by this cry, and even so great, anu
