IN THE TOLLS
ANTlCATHoLlc LECTURER MUST
SPEND TWO AND A HALF YEARS
IN THE FEDERAL PENiTEN.
TIARY.

Charles Follensbe, an anti.Catholic
lecturer of Waterloo, Wis, and or
ganizer for the knights of Luther"
will spend two and half years in
the federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan for violating the
Mann act. He was sentenced at
Superior, Wis, recently, by Judge K.
M. Landis of Chicago.
During the past years Follensbe
toured Kansas and other states, de-
livering lectures on the immortality
of the Catholic clergy"
Follensbe, so the story goes, while
engaged in righteously pursuing truth
and routing the poison of hypocrisy
from the Papacy, upset the morals of
his own home town by eloping with
the wife of a Waterloo saloonkeeper.
The fact that he was married and had
two children did not deter him, the
authorities say, from choosing a
second mate, married also, and the
mother of two children.

Tells Gridiron Diners, How
ever, , Expediency Can
Never Shape Course.
FOLLOWS IDEAL OF DUTY
SAYS He Would Be Ashamed
to Be Either Rash or
Coward.

The White House last night gave out
the text OF President Wilson's speech
at the dinner OF the Gridiron Club last
night. AS a rule. speeches made at the
club dinners are held In the strictest con-
fdence In this instance the White
House obtained the consent of the club
to make the speech public.
The President said: -....
"The point in national affairs. gentle
men. never Hes along the lines Of e1pe-
diency. 1t always rests in the field of prin-
ciple. The United States was not found
ed upon any principle OF expediency. and
whenever It bases its policy upon any
other foundations than those It builds
on the sand and not upon solid rock
Should stake All for Justice.
Senator Harding was saying Just now
that we ought to try when we are a hun
dred million strong to act in the same
simplicity Of principle that our forefath-
ers acted In when we were three million
strong. I heard somebody say-I do not
know the exact statistics-that the pres
ent population Of the United States is
one hundred and three millions. II there
are three million thinking the same
things that that original three million
thought, the hundred million will be
saved for an illustrious future. They were
ready to stake everything for an idea,
and that idea was not expediency, but
justice.
America ought TO keep out Of this
war. She ought to keep out of this
war at the sacrifice of everything ex-
cept this single thing upon which her
character and history are founded, her
sense OF humanity and Justice If she
sacrifices that, 81 has ceased to be
America; she has sased to entertain
and to love the t dtions which have
made us proud to be Americans, and
when we go about seeking safety at
the expense OF humanity then l. for
one. will believe that I have always
been mistaken in what I have conceived
to be the spirit of American history.
