Roman Catholic LavvleSsness
BOycOaS and Ruined Homes.
THE following letter comes to us from
Carnegie, Pennsylvania, and tells tale
similar to the crime which broke up those two
homes in Macon, Ca:
Carnegie, Pa, April Z, 1915
Dear Sir: The April number Of your magazine
has failed to arrive. If 1 able to buy it near
/ would not mention it. News stands are boy
cotted that sell anti papal literature.
The Catholic Church broke up my home by
pumping that rot into my ungrateful wife that
she not married to me- after living with me
eighteen years and raising family. l hate
the Catholic Church and all it's dogmas.
Hoping to hear from you, I remain
Yours respectfully
PENNSYLVANIA
Owing to the fact that we extended the
courtesy OF our shop to one of the burnt-out
dailies of Augusta, at the time of the recent
fire, we were delayed few days in getting
our magazine for April off the presses.
Hence the request from our subscriber in
Pennsylvania.
Read what he says and think it over.
Married legally, under our lar, for eighteen
years.
His home blessed with children, and the
family contented.
Along comes bachelor priest, who either
lives with a young and comely "housekeeper,"
or who has free access to the nearest nunnery,
and this wolf in sleeps clothing tells the law
full wife of an American citizen that, as she IS
a Catholic, she cannot contract a legal mar.
riage under the laws of America.
Unless she and her lawful husband will adj
NIT that their retaliation has been "filthy
concubinage," and that their children are
bastards, and will bow to the foreign law of
Rome in a remarriage by the immoral priest,
she must leave her husband, or be excom-
municated.
The II gifts of the Protestant husband are
not considered by the priest for one moment.
The II gifts of the children, who are legiti-
mate according to American law are not con-
sidered at all.
In order that the law of a foreign church
shall override ours, and the Catholic woman
be kept under the thumb of the priests, no
rights are considered except the selfish IN
terestS of the Roman Catholic hierdrcby.
The papal law under which this criminal
practice was begun in the United States, dates
back to the Council of Trent, the 10th cen
fury; but the Italian potentate never felt
strong enough to proclaim it in Great Britain
and the United States. until 1908.
Since that year, the treasonous priests,
whose oath of allegiance binds them to the
forei On imposter, have been trampling upon
American law and ruthlessly violating the
legal rights of Protestant husbands, Protest
ant wives, and Protestant children.
Hooc much more Of 1t qcW OH" legislatures,
oar grand ju11es, and the Protestant qictinas
endure BEFORE THEY PENALIZE
SUCH TREASON?

f. RIVER MINUS

A writer in Harper's Magazine
tells Of the scarcity of boats on the
Mississippi river at the present time.
The iron horse has not only crippled
commerce or the Father Of Waters
but the tide GIBBS and flows quietly on
others which in days Of old were alive
with commerce. The writer, among
other things, says:
When in d spirit Of tame adventure

Paul to New Orleans, the first fact
that confronted me was that it coulC
not be done; that the traffic on the
extreme upper river was Of such g
fugitive and cxcursionlike nature thai

AT the conclusion Of testimony yes:

Oscar Martin a negro charged with

Intellectual attempts to seize the
negro had been made previously. Mar

with assault upon Edna Murphy, IL
years old, daughter of mill en-

occurred. The lynching happened af-
ter all evidence had been put in and
the court was engaged in considering
it at the time the rush was made.
The negro may have been guilty of
the crime urged against him, but the
fact that a mob stands by ready to

occasionally been victims of mob

The Richmond Times-Dispatch in
referring to a case now pending in
Virginia says:

young girl was the victim, has been

and the. presence of a determined

In this Commonwealth there is no
excuse for lynchings, for the admins.
tration of the law in such cases is
swift and impartial. When guilt is
proved, punishment is certain. To

GLORIEs OF
THE HEAVENS.

Golfers Weekly suggests that we
are too much indoors. Even when
night comes we turn up the lamp and
sit within it's excluding circle to read
what other indoor men have written
or we go out, hastily and under COW
er of the street lights, to get within
other walls where folks are gathered
to see or hear something of what 9TH
ers have done in films and plays and
lectures. Or we sit on a shaded porch
with trees about, so that the vast
encircling night is only GOODNESS and
breeze. The stars do not get much
chance at us. Thus we keep the uni
verse away from our souls. Such llv-
ing makes for pettiness of the spirit
These scandalizing, gosslping little
villages always live under roofs and
behind blinds and curtains as II IN
ambush, that each inhabitant might
be in wait against the reputation OF
the other.
Almost all of those who wrote the
Bible lived in fat-roofed houses and
went up on the housetop when day
was done, so that the wheeling plan
cts and the whole host of the stars
were their familiars. 1t was in that
light that they thought of man and
his destiny In this modern confusion
of change we need the eternal in
fluences-the moon etching patterns
on lake and roadway, the night gleam-
ing of the rivers, the solemn beauty
of the milky way, the steadfastness
of the north star. Night ought to free
us from the littleness of the days
doings and lift the heart of the things
that are above and beyond our days.
Philologists tell us that in ancient
and now dead languages the word
imam" literally means the creature
that looks up in contrast to those who
keep their eyes upon the earth, and
from time immemorial the human
race have gazed upon the blue vault
of heavens and specialized. The book
of Job is believed by some to have
been written by Moses during the
forty years he kept sheep on the
backside Of the desert. The Chaldean
patriarch. it will be remembered, re-
fers to great consultations upon which
all generations have looked and
wondered. Arcturus, Orion and the
Plediades were regarded with inter-
est by him. Later David in the book
of Psalms was inspired by similar
thoughts.
The Magi who visited Bethlehem
over nineteen hundred years ago were
star-gazers, and while the sensual
Roman Empire was sleeping, uncon-
cerned as to the movement of the
heavenly bodies or the fact that the
sands of that mighty nation were
nearly run, a bright orb was stand
ing over a spot which has ever since
been regarded as the most interesting
in the world.

The Order of Corinthians IS an
Organization Of self supporting wom'
cn in New York city for the swat
ting of gossip, the deleting OF the I'M
necessary word, the suppression OF the
cutting inunenlo that either precedes
or follows the kindly greeting ana
Judas kiss which none but a woman
can successfully bestow upon her
dearest enemy.
The Order of Corinthians has origl-
mated in the right place. The motto
of the society, taken from among the
caustic remarks of St. James, to the
effect that the tongue is an unruly
member, will be subscribed to in the
abstract.
Irwin Cobb asserted that he could
write 5000 words about peanut
shell. Congressman have uttered
many more on subjects fully as dry
and empty, and then had the speech
les printed in pamphlet form and sent
Ito their constituents. Just why they
lidn't come back next term is to them
still a matter of profound and I'M
explainable mystery.
The use of Unnecessary words IN
stating a proposition is tax upon
