T7HE awakening Is st hand.
III Here and there an editor
'ik sees a glimmer Of light and
I Is astounded AZ the things re-
vealed when the voice and hand Of
Rome is lifted in open threat against
the bulvarks Of freedom. The words
Of Cardinal Gibbons are no more
Portentous Of impending peril than
have been a thousand other acts
and words Of Rome.
The Free Press sees q veiled
threat in the words Of Card. Glib
bons and gravely wonders IL the
Roman Catholic church intends 10
attempt ito inAugurate in this
country a policy which brought 80
much woe to Europe for centuries" !"
There can be no other conclusion
when We consider the countless oc-
casions Of RVmish interferences with
legislation intended 10 conserve pub
lie interests at the expense Of the
private profit Of the Roman Cath
olic church.
TO RULE THIS NATION is
THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF
THE ROMAN 0LIC
CHURCH. The late Archbishop
Quigley predicted twelve years ago
that his church would rule the
United States and the world and
every effort Of the hierarchy, priests
and prelstes, is carefully considered
with that end in view. Political
activity is one Of the most effective
means used by Rome in her cam
paign Of conquest, for by the cleo
ton Of picked Catholics to Office
the reins of government are secured
and used for Romish advantage
hence the urgent need Of eternal
vigilance in the choice Of servants
who are TO do the work Of admin
istration.
The deyilish designs which Rome
has upon press and platform was
exemplified in the siKty-third con-
gress by Congressman Gallivan and
Fitzgerald in their infamous at
tempt to fssten q muzzle on the
press. Justice and constitutional
rights are ignored and defed per-
sistently with Jesuit cunning and
Knight Of Columbus arrogance
when Rome sees q chance to gain q
vantage or defeat opposition, and
it matters not whether the means
used to gain an end be a brick OF a
bullet, asballot or a boycott.
No person who has seen the
deadening effect of Romish rule on
nations that have been under papal
rule can doubt for one minute that
the United States is menaced by an
infamous and conscienceless foe.
The murderous hate that brought
swift death to VIM. Black would
and does snatch innocents from
freedom to slavery.
The infamous arrogance that eX-
ercises the boycott against a person
or power acting in harmony with
established law is the same that
sought 10 crush, by Romish intrigue,
the freedom of the press.
The tyrannous tactics that
brought Spurgeon in suffering al

THE PAPAL POLICY THAT

LATENT FURY AND MAY

LIBERTY AT ANY TINE.
The threat spoken by Cardinal
Gibbons against our chief executive
has been whispered in secret con:
clave against lesser persons at
divers times and political defeat can
often be traced to Rome's own
doors. That threat, which the Free
Press has seen in the words of the
cardinal, is but a murmur Of the
wrath Of Rome and he who runs
may read the sinister purpose OF
Rome's tneacberous interference
