The Way They Advertise in Russia
A traveller in Russia relates the fol-
lowing: 81 saw little child crying
miserably one afternoon. He walked
slowly down one of the principal
streets. and his howls soon brought a
big crowd around him."
"What's the matter my child?" ev-
cry one asked.
The boy paused finally. He look
ed at the crowd that had gathered.
Then, lifting his voice, he shouted; 81
am lost. Will somebody please take
me home to Ivan Trombetskoy, the
champion clothier of the South End,
who has just got in his new stock of
spring overcoats, suits, necnties, shoes
shirts and umbrellas, which he will
sell cheaper than anyone else in the
city,"

Too many Americans have the hook

PRETENDING to be the leader of a
friendly embassy from the great Catho-
lie emperor, Charles v, Spanish bandits, led
by Cortez, secured passage from Vera Cruz
to, Mexico City, where they were royalty re-
celved and entertained 400 years ago
The treacherons Spaniard, guest of the
Indian King, Montezuma, seized upon his
person, and held him in captivity.
The Spaniards had horses the Indians,
none: the Spaniards wore steel armor-the
Indians none; the Spaniards had lances,
spears, battle-axes, and sWords-the Indians,
none
The unwarlike natives of Mexico hardly
wore any clothes, at ALL and they had no
chance whatever in the war which the
Spanish priests and buccaneers forced upon
them.
With awful carnage and cruelty, the
natives were subdued and enslaved.
The Spanish marauders divided the land
among themselves, into vast haciendas, con-
tanning from one million acres, to twenty and
even forty million acres.
Many of those enormous estates exist now
as they did hundreds of years ago. The
Terrazas family own 100000 acres in
Chihuahua, where our negro troops have been
numbering unarmed Mexicans; and Dictator
4I1tA gave d IICClc 1dILH Ol IL IllllIOI acres, Ill
chihuahua, to William Randolph Hearst.
The capitalists who own the Mexican land
sub divide it into parcels of say, 1000 acres,
Or 5000 as it may be; and upon each parcel
they build a house for the overseer, house
for the priest, and church for the native
slaves; and the priest draws a salary from
the landowner, ust the Overseer does
BY the Influence of these two white Chris
tians, the poems are kept at work, partly by
the lash and partly by religious admonition.
That system was introduced nearly 400
years ago, prevails yet and has cost the ma
lives uncounted millions of lives. It's most
hellsh feature is seen in Yucatan, where the
Catholic land kngs and slave-drivers raise
the hemp needed by our billion dollar Steel
Trust.
In Yucatan, nothing is more common than
the kidnapped Indian, who is brutally
beaten, day after day, until his spirit is
broken or his life whipped out
Our Government, through its Trade Com
mission, is now acting as Sazes-agent of the
Spanish Catholics who own the huge estates
In Yucatan, and whose riches are the fruit of
slave-labor
In 1843, Brantz Mayer, Secretary of the
IT, s. Legation in Mexico, estimated the
Wealth of the Roman Church at $1O0,000O00
in real estate and $115,O00,000 in capital out
at interest, not estimating the marvellous
wealth inside the athedrals-gold, silver,
and precious stones. Consider how prodig-
ious must have been the sum, wrung by the

"inter0ention" Santa Anna became Dictators
in the pay of the Roman high priests, att
$4,000 month. For this bride, he re-inI
stated the Priest-rule which has been the
curse of the country ever since the day of
Cortez
(Some of the horrors of priest-rule and
land-kng rule are wildly set forth in the
books of the American Envoy, WaddyD
Thompson, Judge Robert A. Wilson, Secre-i
tary Brantz Mayer Professor q. r. Burke,
John Kenneth Turner, and the recent work
of T.. G. DeLara and E. Pinchon)
The Mexican priests (Spaniards) del
nounced the Protestant colonists of Texas5
calling them ''the dissolute and sacrilegiou4
enemies Of God',' and they caused General
orders for the suppression of civil courts and
trial by jury; and for the cancellation of all
land grants made since 1880. Teran dis
armed the Texans in the Bejar district, leav-
ing them at the mercy of the Catholic In
dlans.

p. 1877
In August 1886, the Spanish priests cir
culated throughout Mexico violent denun-
citation of the Texas ''heretics," with the re-
suit that war fever was excited.
Andrew jackson, the then President, kept
in close touch, through his lifelong friend,
Sam Houston, and supplied the Annexionists
in Texas with mOney-on the sly.
Houston was known to the Indians as "Big
Drunk" and he had earned the name; but
he was Big Man, in spite of his periodical
big sprees Jackson chose him, and sent him
into Texas, to fight the Spaniards whom
Old Hickory had always hated; and the end
was San Jacinto, and independence, followed
by annexation to the United States
From 1882 onward, the Clerical party had
ground down the wretched Mexicans with
taxes, created disorders, committed all sorts
of lawIessness, and kept the whole country in
a chaotic condition. The Inquisition was re-
vived, and many Mason was tortured and
burnt.
THE MEXICAN WAR: 1868.
Then came the war with the United States
which the Spanish clericals joyfully an
nounced in a proclamation beginning.
'Mexicans! Mexican blood has been shed, on
Mexican soil, by Yankee solders!"
With equal delight, President Polk an
nounced the war, in lot of lies, beginning
-"Amercans! American blood has been
shed on American soil, by Mexican sol ers !"
The truth was, that General Taylorv obey
ing secret orders, had invaded Mexican soil
with $500 men-no niggers in front, on
horSes-and had refused to retire, when the
Mexican officers protested against the I'M
provoked aggression.

He'll.
The revolutions In Europe, especially after
the downfall of Napoleon, created unrest in
Spanish America; and movements for indie
pendence began.
General Simon Bolivar was the George
Washington of South America, where he
overcame the Spanish armies in the decisive
battle of Ayacucho in 1928: and Mexico won
her independence at about the same time,
after suffering horribly from the ruthless
massacres of Spanish commanders.
In 1929 Vincente Guerrero was elected
President of Mexico; he proclaimed re-
Hgious liberty, and abolished slavery.
THE KING OF SPAIN INTERVIEWS.
The Spanish priests began a conspiracy
against Guerrero, assailing his government
with every possible falsehood which Jesuit
upon the King Of Spain to "intervene"; but
the Spanish troops were swiftly driven back
to their ships. Then the Jesuits stirred up
local insurrections and so great was the
power of the Roman hierarchy, that it influ-
enced the Mexican Congress, to depose the
Presidentt
The Romanists dictated the appointment Of
another President, BuStomoente and took
control of the government. After repeated
efforts to have Guerrero assassinated, the
Jesuits at length got possession of him by the
basest treachery, and they had him shot,

Having murdered the illustrious patriot,
the Jcsuits undid his work, suppressed the
freedom of the press, and commenced the Bit

the abolition of slavery, and the establishment

The firing squad of the hangman created
a reign of terror, and Clericalism, backed by
the Land Monopolist and Slavedriver, was
again supreme.
But the spirit Of progress could not be
buried: it renewed it's agitation for a division
Of the enormous haciendas, and the confisca-

We have told you before something
about Judge Griffith Jones of the
sunrise court of Los Angeles, who
gets up at 5 o'clock each morning to
meet the DRINKS in the city Jail and
to talk to the youths of the city's
streets.
Last Easter morning Judge Jones
was on his way to told his morning
"class."
He spied a ragged urchin in a
tree, preparing to rob a robins nest
What are you doing there?"
asked Justice Jones, and the lad
shamefacedly admitted that he was
robbing the nest for Easter eggs.
Stay with us, Sonnie," said the
big-heaTted judge. I'VE are going
to have a little meeting. I'll get you
some eggs later" So the boy stayed.
And in that odd way of his Judge
Jones, instead of Gliding his boys,
told them a simple little story of a
drunkard. Then, under the spread
ing branches of the sycamore he
held a little Easter service, all his
own. The ragged uTchins sang the
Easter carols and at last the new
lad joined in. And he sang with
strange, new gladness in his heart,
for he had found friends in a world |
where he had thought all men were
enemies.
So the stranger joined Judge |
Jones' class and promised to be a
good boy" meaning it, too, from |
the depths of his bOyish heart.

ART-M MOVIES CENSORSHIP.

ART MOVIES - CENSORSHIP,
Are Movies AFt?" asks a leading

yet art But they have a fair chance
of becoming art if the silly censor
ship under which they now operate
is relaxed, or, better, abolished. With

cause this is a Frankenstein engi-
neered by the movie men themselves
and they have only to say the WORD
to abolish it.
But worse than criminal are the
state and city censorship, under
which some of the best pictures ever
filmed have been kept from many
states and cities, and other pictures
have been cut and chopped until
there is little left.

CITIZEN TAFT'S SENSE.

and you will find a lot of them were

This is a terribly trying time for
the United States. President Wilson
is the president for all OF us and I

it did others we might mention. D
