Tar you have allowed your Government to 90.
England did not even blame us for the
Catholic Fenians, who organized in Detroit
and Chicago, and, from our side of the Dor
der. made bloody raid into Canada
Much less did England seek to hold us re-
sponslble for what these Catholic bandits had
done
During the very period of our military
occupation of Mexco-because Of the Villa
raid which Catholic money paid for-the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and knights of
Columbus in our country organized, here. an
invasion Of Great Britain, Ia c0-0pe9uti0n
rlth GcJm}0ny.
In pursuance Of the plans and organization
perfected IN these United States, the Catholic
bandits above mentioned. did invade great
Britain, causing death and destruction an
hundred fold greater than that caused by the
Villa raid in New Mexico
Did England blame us for the criminal
raid Of our Catholic Villas? No
One of the men caught in the midst of that
American raid upon Great Britain, was Mel
son OShaughne8sy, the 18th Degree Knight

government and caused the assassination of
Madero-and O'Shaughnessy was mighty
close to the criminals and the crime, when
Madero was so bosely betrayed and murdered
In view of Engand>s forbearance with us,
don't you think that we might have been
more forbearing with the noble Carranza,
who could no more help what Villa did, than
General Grant could help what ,O'Donovan
Rosa did, in Canada or than President VIII
son could help what Jeremiah Lynch. Nelson
OShaughessy, and other Catholic bandits did
in Ireland?
They called it a Punitive Expedition.
Whom has it punished? Not Villa.
The negro cavalry shot up several peaceable
towns, slaughtered unarmed civilians, and
aroused intense hatred for Americans; but
there has been no serious effort to get
Villa"
Funston and Pershing gave the Catholic
agent many days the start, and Villa easily
kept ahead of those who didn't want to catch
him
He is now operating near Pershing's army,
and has been attacking town after town, but
.Pershing makes no movement, except to get
himself promoted to Major GeneraIship
How long is our invading army to be kept
IN Mexico? What it is doing there? What
is really the secret of this unconstitutional use
of State troops? Many of our gallant young
men who left home, full of life and joy, some
months ago, were shipped back in boxes, or
have died lingeringly in hospitals: for which
were their young manhood sacrificed?

THE INVASION OF MEXICO. CATHOLIC MANIPULA-
(2) In the year 1916 we sent an army of
100000 men into the independent Republic of
Mexico, intrenched ii there, aud kept it there,
doing nothing in particular.
Archbishop Mora, the bead of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy in Mexico, had advanced
$lOOOO,OOO to the traitors and conspirators
who overthrew the constitutional govern
ment of the country, and foully murdered it's
duly elected President
When Mora's bloody gang was driven out
by Carranzas forces, the guilty priest fled
for his life, to Gen Funston at Vera Cruz,
and Funston received the reel1ing criminal
with elusive warmth Of welcome
Mora afterwards Struggled himself into
~NeW Orleans, where, according to press re-
ports, he was soon conspiring against Mexico,
acith Fezin DioS and Cardinal Gibbons.
It was stated in the public prints, and not
denied, that the Mora Gibbons-Diaz plotters
had raised fund Of $100O0,OOO for the pur-
pose of restoring in Mexico the harsh rule
of the Spanish land-king and the Spanish
high priest.
Shortly afterwards, a handful of raga-
mullins, under the lead of the muatto, Villa,
dashed into the town of Columbus, and then
dashed out again, after having shot several
people and damaged few houses.
Our troops, on the border had been notified
three times of Villas approach, but the off
GERS paid no attention to the warnings
Howl upon howl then went up, IN all the
militarist and nearCatholic papers, clamor-
ing for "intervention," and for 'Villa, dead
or alive!"
The fact that Villa was manifestlv in the
pay of some of the loudest howlers made no
difference.
The Catholic Senators from New Mexico
and New York yelled for ''Intervention;' the
Catholic cardinals shrieked for war; the
Catholic Representatives in Congress roared
for blood; and the jaclass Professionals "felt
for it,"
In violation of the plainest provisions Of

one is, to get rich, and the other is, to be

When he realized that he had miscalculated,

made many speeches for the reelection of a
President whose political company and family
were not good enough for W. J. Bryan
He vocferously demanded that the country
reeect and emphatically endorse Woodrow
Wilson, after he, Bryan, had himself rebuked
Wilson and refused to endorse his policy
How much of the campaign fund he GOT
for his speeches, we do not know; but his
motive, otherwise, was sufficiently obvious.
Wilson, defeated by Hughes would have
been as formidable in 1920, as Cleveland de-
feated by Harrison, in 1888. was in 1892;
whereas, Wilson reelected would be out Of

Such an event is of worldwide importance
and has not happened before in hundreds Of
years.
The pope was not mentioned. much less
represented, at the treaties which ended the
Thirty Years War, the War of the Spanish
Succession, the Seven Years War, the Ma

1870, the South American Wars, the War be-

promised at the beginning of the war
The peace-proposals cannot even be con-

through which they come.

LOOKS LIKE LEADER.

One of the new members of the
State Senate who is m%anifesting real
qualities of leadership is Hon. w. NJ.
Wilmington, of the Twenty-seventh
District.
Mr.. Wilmington is an attorney at
Greenwood, and ranks as one Of the
abiest members of the bar in that
section of the State. Although a new
man IN the Legislature, he is a par
llamentarian of exceptional ability,
and has shown considerable generalshlE
IN preliminary fights on the floor.
Several years ago Mr.. Wilmington
served as president Of the Baptist State
convention, and is recognized as one OF
the foremost laymen OF that church in
the State. He is a graduate II Missis-
slppl College and also the University OF
mississippi, and a brother-in--law OF
Prot. E. l.. Bailey, superintendent OF
the } Jackson public schools.
While it is yet too early to pick the
men who are going to exercise com
handing influence in the two bodies,
it looks very much like Mr.. Whiting
ton has the markings of a first-class
1t is certain, at least, that he
will be heard from during the session.
