England and the Vatican; and between Rus
STA and the Vatican
Even in this country, we have at last been
given defiant proof of the purposes of the
Vatican in sending papal ambassador.
Up to last year, it was Cardinal Gibbons
who did the pussy-footing to the White
House, and the State Department.
This year, for the first time, Ambassador
Bonzano assumed the same role as any other
Ambassador; and this political representative
OF a foreign church went to the White House
to deliver a political note from the Italian
Pope to the American President.
If Taft had been as defiant of American
principle and sentiment as Woodrow Wilson
IS Ma or Archie Butt would not have lost his
gallant life on the Titanic.
If the Wilson administration and the daily
papers had been half as 2w1zing to make
excuses for Ca11a31e0, as they have been in
making them for the Kaiser, we would not be
at war with Mexico.
If they had been half as willing to believe
that Carranza was doing his best to meet
American demands, as they have been to
believe it Of the Kaiser negro soldiers wea3'-

The Kaiser continues for whole year to
murder American citizens, and to wage war
on our plants and our laborers: Carranza does
nothing of the sort; vet Carranzas is the
government which we turn upon with an
army of 10000 men,
TOO right to fight Kaiser
''Too proud to fght'-the Kaiser.
'Valor is conscientious. VaIor is circum-
spect. Valor must be sure it is right" &c. &c.
All of which shows that President Wood
pile Wilson knows who to kick

kind if we can find the way"
For fear that decent white men could not
find the desired way, I'VE" posted negro
troops in the lead-brutes who shot up
Brownsville, Texas; brutes who raised hell in
Honolulu; brutes who terrorized the red
light district in Ell Paso, compelling the white
Texas police to kill one of the rioters.
These are the reckless and bestial creatures
that I'VE" sent on ahead. to shoot up the open
Mexican towns, and TO FORCE A COL
LISION, IN the public square Of Parruz!
That's the way we practise brutal wrong,
against nobly patriotic leader Carranza at
the same time that we preach atruistic moon
shine to the Pope's allies in Europe.
Let members of Congress, and candidates
for Congress, be careful how they endorse
these negro-soldier butcheries in Mexico.
There's a world of dynamite in this Next
can business; just as there is high-power ex-
plos1ve IN the craven seryility of the Admin
lstratlon to Jesuit Tumulty, Cardinal Glib
bons, and the Italian pope.

General Carranza has not given the royal
hand of glad welcome to Villa, nor faStened

Not a single American life has been taken
by Carranza, or by his authority; nor has he
sunk Gulf1ight nor a William FRYE; nor
has he sent money to finance crimes against
the industries of our capitalists, or the lives
OF our workmen.

to suppress the John Murrell gang and that

peaceful towns and to infuriate an outraged
population.
To make the situation all the more hid

Jesus Christ, interposes the olive branch, not
for Mexico, the weak and the n0n-dggressor,
but for William Hohenzollern the strong,
and the aggreSSor.
Papal -encroachment upon Servian Greek
Catholics started the war
Papal silence, when Catholic Austria
launched her impossible ultimatlm at Servia,
proved that the Vatican wanted the war.
Papal opposition, when Russia proposed to
refer the Austro-Servian question to the
Hague tribunal, demonstrated that peace qcas

need
When Belgium was violated and drenched
with Catholic blood, the Pope did not say
word to restrain the Kaiser. Later, he de-
Tended the Kaisers frightful crimes against
that little Kingdom.
When the Lusitania went down, with 1900
civilians on board, not word of protest came
from the Pope. Later, he defended the
crime.
When Turks were butchering Armenian
Christians until former Kingdom was a
desolate waste, what did the Pope do?
Nothing.
At that time, the two German autocrats
seemed to have the world in a swing, and the
Pope was dreaming of Temporal Kingdom
OF his own-0 Kingdom based on taUo million
human Skulls.
Not a whisper of peace came from the
Vatican, so long as the divine right despots
were eictorious; but now, when they have been
checked on all fronts when France has made

soldiers at Verdun when the German ad-

Did our Academy of Pensmanship take
action? Indeed, yes: our Secretary, Mr.
Lansing began to hold ''parleys" with the
German Ambassador
Day after day, these diplomats parleved
and spared, and dilly- dallied; and cheerful
dope was handed out by the Wilson press
bureau, every day or so.
A more bewildering lot of lies, no press
bureau has ever had to tell than Wilson has
told

Then, the Academy of Pensmanship had to
get busy again. This time, Professor Wilson
informed Kaiser Hohenzollern he must insist
upon another promise, that he would make
war according to law
This, you see, was Wilson's third ''last

In reply, the Hohenzollen promised-for
the 4th time-to kill according to law; but
intimated that England should be compelled
by Professor Wilson, to forego all the adj
vantage which she enjoys because of her
fleet
Answering this hint at bargain, Profess
sor Wilson again wrote to the Hohenzollern
despot, saying that it was not a matter for
log rolling and bargaining; and that, this
time, the Kaiser must keep faith.
This was Wilson's fourth ''last word"

During the entire period of this prolonged
interchange of letters with the Kaiser, the

waging war on the United States.
Powder mills have been dynamited, and
American worl1men killed: munition plants

Of answering him her hand moved out
to the bell button, for with the ring

door locked, she now had little to fear
from Legar SO when she fell back,
as he sprang forward TO strike her
hand from the bell, she saw that her
retreat lay in the direction Of the

Her pursuer. however, was in no

suddenly to foresee her intention. For
without warning he leaped towards

Testing Yourself

The Pennsylvania railroad holds efficiency
tests in order to be sure that it's men obey the
signals. In the first six months of this year,
the results showed perfect performance in more
than 800 per cent of the cases. In this period,
76,700,000 passengers were carried on this road
without single accident.
All Of US might do well to hold tests of our
selves now and then We might make them as
rigorous as does the Pennsylvania railroad. We
might try to learn whether we are obeying the
rules and whether we will ignore stop signal
or go by at full speed
If we test our health efficiency, we might
learn whether we are using up valuable fuel that
ought be conserved for long haul later in life !;
whether we are running at such dangerously fast
speed that our heart engines will play out before
long; whether we are boiling our food, disregard
ing rules of right living, and producing the ele-
ments of an explosion that will wreck us.
We might test our attention to business. our
devotion to our tasks our conservation to what

Clean Hands

The U. S. Public Health Service has issued
this advice:
Disease garrs lead hand to mouth exist
ence If the human race would learn to keep the
unwashed hand away from the mouth many hui
man diseases would be greatly diminished We
handle infectious matter more or less constantly
and we continually carry the hands to the mouth.
If the hand has recently been in contact with in
fectious matter the germs of disease may in this
way be introduced into the body Many persons
wet their fingers with saliva before counting
money, turning the pages of a book or perform
ing similar acts. In this case theprocess is re-
versed, the infection being carried to the object
handled, there to await carriage to the mouth OF
some other careless person. In view Of these
facts the u. S. Public Health Service has forrnu-
lated the following simple rules of personal hy-
giene and recommends their adoption by every
person in the United States.
Wash the Hands Immediately
Before eating,
Before handling, preparing or serving
food,
After using the toilet,
After attending the sick, and
After handling anything dirty.

still heavier consumption is looked

But Legar, with his hand on her
throat, hurled her back against the

sheet from her fingers, flung her stag

and with a throaty and beastlfke cry

other approaching steps, he dove
through the second door, scurried like
a pelted hound through shadowy
rooms. slipped eel-like through a
quickly opened window and escaped
to the street.
There he ran for a. dark-bodied car
standing in the deep tree shadows,
and with gasp Of relief flung himself
up into the cushioned seat.
AS he did SO a masked figure sitting
crouched close back in the hooded
gloom Of that seat suddenly threw out
hand and garroted the startled Lee
gar against the leather upholstery, on
which he began to writhe like a cater
