Note by Author


,fhe facts here stated are culled from
n pamphlet entitled, Handbook Of the
Catholic Association" issued In 1908.
After the rrmphlet had been published,
the priests realized they had mace mis-
take in allowing the public % know 90
much about the proposed rethods OF the
Catholic Association, 20 they told the
servant girls who we're employed in Prot
cstant families 70 srise all the copies tkoy
-aw in their employers households. II
8 very difficult now for a Protestant 70
lbtain a copy Of this Illuminating pamph-
let.
The chief object Of the Catholic
Association was to replace Protes-
tants in their civil positions in Ire
land with Roman Catholics by pres
sure and intimid .tion il necessary.
The promoters Of the Catholic As
sociation justify their proposed or
ganization in the following words:
"In truth, the need for a move
ment to advance the temporal inter-
ssis Of Catholics is too imperious to
be ignored any longer, and the cer-
tainty Of what IL could achieve is
too great to be denied, as there is
example at hand to prove. But
lately the French free-thinker and
publicist, Mr.. Urbain Gohier, pro-
fessed himself alarmed" at the
power and progress Of Catholicism
in America. Beyond a doubt the
American Catholic Federation,
though but a short time in existence
as yet, has had something to do with
that progress, while the great work
Of the VolkSrerein in unifying and
solidifying German Catholicism and
assisting its social progress, has been
already adverted to-"
Now, it seems that some laymen
noticing that the principal officials
on the stats Of Irish Railway Com
panies were Protestants, conceived
the idea Of forming an association
which would agitate for a change in
the composition Of these stats. OF
course, il was no concern Of these
agitators that the best men had been
chosen to manage and work the
. Railways-hence the exclusion Of
Roman Catholics.

unlikely that thsy have overlooked
the pcrgicious activities Of Romc's
politicians, because they have not
associated the affiliations Of these
politicians with their attempted
legislation.
However. a thorough going-over
Of the ground for the past few years
will convince any person Of the
probable need for an investigation,
even though he may doubt the ale
cations set Forth in the Leagues pc
tition. The League has rcsorted 10
the highest court in the land with n
democratic remedy for a thoroughly
un-Amcrican practice. The League
desires to drive religion out Of poli-
tics and keep IL out. II seeks 90

Of these congressman to assist MS
and suggest ways and means by
which these men can be properly

congress will be the greatest in his
tory, IL we can but obtain the pas
sage Of the Leagues resolutions
Let us labor TO that end, remember
ing that this is the first serious at
tempt ever made to procure an In
vestigation Of political Romanism
before a court OF inquiry.
To all who are not in harmony
with the patriots desire for this in
ycstigation the unanswerable argu'
ment that this is Rome's greatest
opportunity to yindicate herself il
the charges are false should be suf'

Rome will not object TO investiga'

. Rome is making no demand for tht

The Hidden Hand Again

Persons familiar with the way
political Romanism works behind
the scenes, especially if they are ac-
quainted with the vigilance Of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy in over
looking all important steps taken by
"sons Of the church" that might
have important political bearing on
future affairs, will not for a mo-
ment imagine that political Roman
ism had no knowledge Of this i'm

These two seemed too long for
single innings. Had they Seen brok-
en- up into a lot of short innings it
would have been a grand game of
baseball, but as produced last Sun
day it seemed very exhausting and
superfluous in view of the fact that
the pastime was to be played anyway.
The lads from the village that
boasts of its lawns. eourthouses and
city halls, created the impression in

had an excuse for existing. Ely
started out ittingly. The gang was
strenuous. They belabored the ball.
They toiled throughout to keep on
the long end of the score, and scored
four runs. Fifteen minutes later
they came forward signing p%rofusely,
their heads dropped pathetically over
their left shoulders. The one credit
that the Ely crowd ear take out of
the engagement is that it vas first

When a young gent poles a home

his side. what most generally hap

gets into the very first paragraph of
the game of baseball-that's what
happens. And that's what should
happen. But when three masters of
the diamond art make complete cir
cult in a nine-session contest, the per-
formances become commonplace.
Up to the third inning the space
of honor was reserved for Martin,
the Ely pitcher. because We had rea-
son to believe that his %larcenious ac-
tion was deserving of a large amount
of merited publicity, but along came
MCNEIL in the third with a slam that

PLAN GAY WINTER SEASON.
Members of Corinthian Yacht Club
ARRANGING Entertainments.

Corinthian Yacht Club members are
looking forward to an interesting win
ter season now that cruising time is
over and the boats. With but few ex-
ceptions have been made ready for sew
eral months of idieness. The commit
tee of the club in charge of the enter
tainmenu of the members is arranging
program of smokers and other events
that will keep alive club interest.
Monthly meetings of the Potomac
River Power Squadron will also be
aeld at the Corinthian clubhouse at
the south end of the Highway bridge,
and at these meetings the members and
others interested will be instructed in
navigation and other things marine
While the Corinthian Club has ample
rounds for the berthing ashore of
practically ali the forty-five boats on
he club roster, and also has one of the
lest railways on which they can be
taken from the water, less than ten
boats will spend the winter ashore. The
berth Of the club is well protected
from drift ice and other dangers, and
the boat owners will allow their craft
% remain in the water throughout the
cold season. The boats that will be
kept in commission will be used for
hunting trips to the lower river.
