Margaret Mon;n-
ger Tells Of life
IN Fdy-A,Day China

Telling in an interesting way of
many strange and peculiar customs
and conditions in far away Hainan, an
Island off the west coast of China, Miss
Margaret Moninger, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs.. w. r. Moninger, and grad
'uate of the Marshalltown high school
In 1908, has written to the Times Re-
publican from her mission post, where
she has been working since early this
fall. g
Miss Moninger is situated at Eolhow,
the port of Hainan, Upon her arrival
there she was taken for ride to am
other town called Kiung-Chow where
the mission compound is situated. Go
ing along the road she passed thru
many rice fields, and thru Chinese
streets which are about four feet wide,
paved with loose cobblestones, with
pigs and chickens straying about the
right Of way in great numbers.
Too Much Even For Ford.
Chinese roads would be too much
even for Ford" Miss Moninger
writes. They are simply foot paths.
fording small streams on stepping
stones and going up and down steep
hills with cobblestones in uneven
steps, Bridges are rare, but where
they are found they are wonderfully
we'll built, and some Of them are said
to be over 500 years old. One bridge
described in the letter had six stone
piers, each eighteen feet high, four
feet long and three. feet wide. and tri-
angular shaped TO meet, the current.
The piers are placed five feet apart
and stone slabs laid between them.
Birthday of Heather God.
Describing the celebration of the
birthday Of the Kitchen god' the
writer says that thetpeople shot off
tirecrackers, blew horns and whistles
and made all sorts of hideous noises.
Inside the temple joss sticks were
burned, paper prayers offered. and all
manner of roast pigs and chickens and
Chinese cakes placed on the altar in
front Of the god, who was "a hideous
cid man with flowing hair and beard
and jeweled eyes that CLEANED diabol-
ically." 4
Travelling on boat in China ncces-
states considerable preparation ON TIE
r&rt of the passenger. Miss, Moninger
travelled with abr. and. Mrs. Kelly, the
former an Iowa man who once lived
at Blairstown. Chinese beds consist of
several boards and a strip of mating
put across Sd" uoISeS dpout Two 1CSS
high. On boats the compartments are
four feet high and one must either
stand up or lie down all the time.
Crops in China.
Principal among the products of the
island where Miss Moninger is situated
are sweet potatoes, rice. peanuts,
melons and .taro, sort of water lily
with tuberous root. The blowing Is
done with primitive wooden walking
plows drawn by either buffalo Or q
COW. but the burrows are. said to be
straight and deep. Chinese farmers
$cultiyate their field by hand, and keep
them exceptionally free from weeds.
Water buffalo, cattle. pigs, chickens.
ducks. cats, dogs and snakes. are the
principal animals on the island of
Hainan. The snakes are there in great
numbers and variety, and the letter
states that python thirteen feet long
is not an uncommon sight.

EN- REST SEGUIN'S "EYE-OPEN-
Err" AND SOME FACTS OF
THE ROMISH PRIEST
HOOD

Dear Sir: Methinks that before
] get to be on the Gridiron by the
grace of that old bag of bones that
lives on the Tiber through the in
strumentality of his Shiny servants
in America, I ought to flood the
country with Eye-Openers, a faithful
translation Of immoral doctrines of
that church as found in the books
written by her most trusted theo-
1ogians, doctors in deviltry, if you
please, that come under the ban of
the Apostle Paul, when he says,
Chapter 4, 1st Epistle, 'The spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the later
times some shall depart from the
faith, teaching doctrines of devils
and lies, having their conscience
scared with hot irons, forbidding to
marry, commanding the people to
abstain from meats, which God has
created to be received with thanks
by those who know the truth"
Now, since I was permitted to
know the truth in 1880, when I came
out of that filthy church of the devil,
my mission has been to expose that
man Of sin, that son Of perdition, that
mystery of iniquity," called popery,
which came into existence in COS,
Christian era. This system of pOpery
must be revealed, says Paul to the
COlOssians, and / do it effectively by
producing extracts taken from their
standard books, which ] studied my
self from 1862 till 1866, in order to
be simply fool and tool of that
incarnate system of the devil which
has embroiled all nations where it
was practiced. If those extracts I
made from the works of Saint Doctor
Liguori are bad in every respect, who
is responsible in America for putting
them into practice? Why don't the
Government look into that serious
matter? Why don't the officers of
morality get to inquire into those
nurseries of immoralities, those
brothels from whence come the vast
majority of harlots that feed the red
light districts of Chicago, Milwau-
kee, San Francisco, New Orleans,
New York-in fact, all the cities
where the holy monkish monks or
priests have planted their so-called
sanity affairs and confessionals? I
have number of letters from bish-
ops telling me that their priests are
most certainly vicious, but, as Kraut-
bauer, of Green Bay, Wis, told me
an 1899. before left this rotten sys-
tenn of Rome, 1--WE keep them in our
dioceses rather than recommend
them to other bishops" Mark the
expression, tive keep them, bad as
they are known to be-"
Now, I think that it is high time
that we should get rid of these rabid
coyotes who are vicious, ferocious,
fearless and stand ready to tackle

FROM AN OLD FRIEND, LUCIEN
STEBBINS.

Dear Sir: With much approval
read The Jeffersonian, and with in
creasing interest the letter of A. L.
Nance, Gainesville, Ca, February 26,
1915, on the finance question.
Sure; who ever controls the money
and credits of a country, controls
that country.
l am a native of Massachusetts;
grew up with anti-slavery convic-
tons; have done some important
service as a Union soldier Had 1
been born in the South l probably
would have been a Southerner.
The North freed four million black
slaves from chattel slavery; and by
it's financial system reduced forty
million of all colors to financial
slavery.
I have lived Sc years west of the
Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean,
from the Canadian border to Central
America; have met some people, but
none better or finer men than ex-
Confederate soldiers of the Southern
Confederacy.
Fifty years Of experience of this
damnable system has brought this
country to the verge of another rev.
olution. Imperial wealth and religion
are now the issues. Those who are
not for it must unite against it. This
is no time for nglomerated CONVEX
sation. The Southern States can con-
troll the situation by political action.
The Central and entire West will be
with them. There is no time for
delay. The pending Democratic Ad-
ministration has demonstrated that
the Democratic party is like the Re-
publican - controlled by Imperial
Wealth and Religion, from which
there is no relief, save by revolu-
ton.
This may be accomplished by non
partisan political action direct for
that purpose. There is yet time to
put Congressman ON the ballot for
that purpose, and a possibility to
elect enough of them to stay the tide
until further and more efficient ac-
ton can be taken.
Unless some action is promptly
taken to stay the progress of this
constantly increasing tide of usurpa-
ton of special privileges, we shall
have passed the rubicon of Civil
action-with the only remedy of last
resort, bloody revolution.
Let us act promptly, and avoid
that Fearful issue"
