can be no Catholic Americans" we
must say that he knew what he was
talking about even il the statement
was displeasing TO Romish politi-
clans. OF course such as Scharf
would commend the RoosereH adj
niRiStratioR for giring public funds
10 Roman Catholic schools; and,
for the same reason they would
condemn the Wilson administration
for stopping such an uHoonstitu-
tioHdl and uH-Ameriodn practice.
1t says that President Wilson
sent secret agents to Mexico to
plan, and scheme, and conspire
with a lot Of cutthroats." The
president is charged with colossal
blunders" while the administrations
of Roosevelt and Taft are praised
because "ROOSercH had tUo Cath
olics in his cabinet" and actually
sent Taft 10 the Holy Father" to
adjust Philippine matters to papal
satisfaction.
Then follows an urgent plea for
the support of Senator Dick as
candidate for the Ohio senatorship.
Among the recommendations Of
fered in behalf Of that gentleman
is the reminder Of his part in paw
ing Rome millions Of dollars for
so-called friars lands in those is
lands-lands which never belonged
to either the friars or the papal
system. Mr.. Scharf and his asso-
ciates would like TO have a senate
Of Dicks ready to perform a similar
service for the pope in the possible
reconstruction of Mexico.
Senator Dick has evidently been
Rome's devoted friend, if Scharf
can be believed; and, for that rea-
son, the election is supported and
urged by this papal meddler in Ohio
politics. Here is the opportunity
for Rome to reinstate one Of its
tried and trusted friends in the
senate Of the United States; and
the opportunity is improved in
way most remarkable.

voters of Ohio. He may be a con-

Congress Is Learning
II seems that members Of COM
gress are taking note Of such pro-
cedure, for Congressman Barnhart,
of Indiana, has recently called up q
house bill intended to correct such
evils as we have described. Press
dispatches in reference to the bill
carefully refrain from mentioning
its connection with pspistic prac-
tices, but refer to it in general
terms which the informed will un-
derstand and know how to apply.
One news article reads, in part, az
follows:
The bill, Barnhart explained, aimed TO
curtail the privilege Of outside interests
getting a member Of congress to further
some special propaganda on the floor and
then provide the money for printing the
speeches with the understanding that the
speech shall be carried in envelopes fur
nished free by the government and under
the congressional frank Of the member
who delivered it. To his own knouledga,
he stated, one member once delivered a
speech and had 2 million copies printed.
The interests back Of the propaganda
rented rooms in Washington, employed
some forty women and used government
envelopes and the government mail serv-
ice free Of charge to spread that speech
broadcast. Humphrey Of Washington
asked for the name. 'If We wore 70 start
in and give the names Of members who
have indulged in Questionable practices
Of that kind" Barnhart warned. ia
would be surprising 10 this House. - But
he told Of another instance Of a member,
now deceased, who ordered two kinds OF
envelopes, franked, one for sendinx out q
publication with a letter from himself in
closed, another addressed to himsalf for
reply. "And he was inviting every voter
in his district - Barnhart explained, Ito
violate the law in sending back 10 him q
franked reply"

Thus, just as the Russian czar oyerrides
the Russian Duma and the will Of the
Russian people. so AN AMERICAN
! CZAR CAN OVERRIDE AND DOES
OVERRIDE THE AMERICAN DUMA,
AND THE WILL OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
THE MENACE is not the champion
Of any candidate or party. When
occasion arises we criticize MI Will
sons policies as freely as we would
those Of any other public official /;
but We must say that this personal
attack upon him contains more that
is unfair, more that is misleading,
and more that is absolutely false
than can usually be crowded into
the space it occupies. 1t merely
expresses the hatred Of Rome for
the president it has been unable 10
use for its oNn criminal purposes
in Mexico. Consider also the fol-
lowing gems from this propaganda
sheet Of popey:
"what is the use Of an American an
basSador TO Mexico when a Presbyterian
preacher as personal representative Of
the president win do just as welli"
Comptroller Downey might use the
s27, 900 of which he deprived the Cath.
ollie Mission Schools to defray the en-.

'An administration may be considered
on its last legs when the postage stamps
issued by the postOfiice department lack
the required mucilage 10 make them stick
where they are expected TO stick. "
Callahan, Gallivan and Co.
We might appropriately inquire,
why this sohcitude in regard to
postage stamps on the part of a
papist publisher who mails his pa
per WithOUt paying postage Of any
kind. Editors of his kind have
been grieving over what it costs the
government to carry the large edi-
tions of THE MENACE, notwith-
standing the fact that we pay the
regular rate for its transmission.
How consistent is this petty quibble
over postage which he should buy
the same as Others, but manages in
Rome's mysterious way to avoid.
In conclusion, this number of the
Bulletin pays its respects to Col
onel Callahan and his X. @. var

about time for the American people
to wake up and realize what is 60

the same article on the same first
page:

The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1916-05-27

RAel lev weeks ago the Rev. IL
IM +. Rector, Of 6lO2 Conoyel
tS St, Cincinnati, Ohio, re
- oeived q package through the
mails which was enclosed in one Of
those large envelopes such as srS
furnished by the government for
the free use Of senator's and con-
gressmen in mailing their speeches
and other parts Of the congressional
record.
There was oothing peculiar -or
unusual about the outside % the
envelope. The Photographic repro.
duction, shown elsewhere on this
page, indicated that il contained
part Of the congressional record
and, for that reason, was privileged
TO 20 through the mails free
that is, without the payment OF
postage by the usual afiixing Of a
stamp.
There was no postage stamp on
any part Of the envelope or pack
age; and DR.. Rector was naturally
very much surprised upon opening
the envelope to find that it's bulky
contents were neither part Of the
congressional record nor anything
else which could properly or legally
be mailed in such an envelope or
in such q manner.
What the envelope did contain
was even more surprising than what
il didn't The three enclosures were
neither wholly nor in part from any
branch, department, bureau, or of
flee OF the government. One OF
them was a circular letter attacking
President Wilson and his admins
traton; and, more particularly, urg-
ing the recipient 10 support EI-
Senator Charles Dick, of Ohio, who
is again q candidate. The other
two papers were copies OF The
Catholic Neus Bulletin" which is
published monthly at 2603 Mozart
Place, Washington, d. c., BY E. L.
Scharf. This person is also author
Of the pro-Dick circular which is
signed by him as Editor Catholic
news Bulletin"
This circular and these bulletins
are rich in varied significance for
those who will take the trouble TO
60 through them. The circular is
an especially interesting document,
and is herewith reproduced in full.
As You absorb its contents don't
overlook the amazing fact that il
was mailed, free of postage, from
Washington, ID. O., to a citizen of
Cincinnati; that it was mailed in a
government encelops vhich can
properly and legally be used onlv
for Official governmental business (.
and that the envelope bears the
