THE POPE'S LAW Must be
Changed; or OUR GOVERN
MENT is DOOMED, If Roman
Catholics Secure Control.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. J

The Pope proclaimed this Code IN 1864, and
it has ever since been the Laa0 Of the Roman
Catholic Church.
This code of foreign law applies to Catho-
lies in America, as we'll as to Catholics in Ire
land, in Spain, in Austria and in the Vatican,
itself
Now it must be sufficiently clear to all un-
prejudiced minds, that the bold declarations
made to Protestant America, by the three
Irish Cardinals at the late New York Con-
yention, raises the question
What as the l01o Of this foreign noonarchy,
whose Princes parade our greatest City with
insolent pomp, their royal trains borne by
American boys?
What IS the zae0 Of this foreign church,
whose Irish and italian magnates are seated
on thrones" in American cathedrals; and
who, from those seats of no0narchy arrogate
TO their foreign church the right to dictate to
onr Government upon the vitality important
subjects of Marriage and Divorce; of Free
Speech and Free Press; of Public Education;
and Of our Foreign Relations?
More particularly, when the Princes who
occupy those thrones, prance through the
streets, with royal train-bearers, and with
guards of honor a0hoSe drdaon sac0rds are as
conspicuous as the iaas0zent p0nap or the
Princes forth their official orders that
III Catholic young men must organize them
selves separately,a as Catholics, INTO RIFLE
Clubs.
Preparedness" they say preparedness"
for e0jbnt?
The Government is supposed to be the
fgency for Preparedness-no the churches.
The Government IS preparing, at prodigious
expense; and all other churches are thinking
# nothing else than to let the Government
prepare the Preparedness
Why does this foreign church demand of
It's young men the formation Of strictly
CathO1sc d4may?
1t all comes to this: in the Catholic Secret
Societies, in the Catholic Colony settlements,
in the Catholic Schools, in the Catholic Boy
Scouts, and in the Catholic Rifle Clubs, the
three Irish Princes of the Roman Curch are
drawing their obedient American followers,
into separate and hostile camps.
Inasmuch as those three Irish Princes Of
the Papal Empire are themselves not only
the Seoorm subjects Of q foreign 1ootentate, but
are sanorro enemies to all Prote8tants, and are
duty bound to labor for the enforcement in
this country of foreign system of laws, we
would be simply suicidal, if we did not &C
quaint ourselves with those A1qcS
We are thrilled by the story of the boatmen
who, on the outer rim of the maelstrom,
laughed at the warning cries of experienced
Sailors praying those scoffers to combat that
outer rim, and escape the deadly, irresistible
inner currents.
We are fascinated, with the strange spell of
terror, as we read of the jewellers in Pompeii
and Herculaneum, who Toasted and revelled,
played and sang, in spite of the warnings of
earth-tremors and volcanic rumblings, thrown
out from old Vesuvius
But there are 8o,0OO,O0O sleeping Ameri-
cans, today, who arc just as blind, just as deaf,
just as fatally Indifferent to this terrible
growth of Roman politics. greed, immortality,
