| II any, In MllbenA; >s1Nt<she recent
election there could not possibly have
them. III the Reverend gentleman
enced tho election be can tind out BY
reading the canon law OF the papacy.
For the benefit Of those who are not
in possession Of copy Of the law |
will quote the following: "The church
bas the right TO pr actice the uncondi-
tional censure of books The
pope has. the right TO absolve from
oaths apd obedience TO the persons
and the laws OF the princes whom he
excOmmunicates. Again from the
syllabus OF Plus TX, Dec. 8 1884 1T
(the State> has not the right to the
entire direction OF the public schools. -
The above are exact quotations, and
one should think q great deal over
them before going TO tho polls to vote
ia any state in our beloved union.
Rev. J. J. O'Neill says mo one
wants religion kept out ot the public
school affairs more than the Catholics
do Does the above read that way !?
Again he asks: elm oil fairness I
want to ask who first brought it in?
Read over tho above quotations, and
then answer me. vas it the Guard ians
OF Liberty? Was it not Rev. Fr.
Phelan that said, LET the public
school 20 back to where it came from
the Devil. II you are so fond of
the public school, Why do you expend
thousands OF dollars building pri-
vate school? Why not send your
children to the public school? You
soy if our country was in need of mon
for army or navy there would be no
Guardiaus there to protest against
Catholics joining. Let me tell you
Mr.. O'Neill, il there we're reasons for
us to believe that the Catholics were
joining to further the political in
terests of the Roman Ponti6 there
would be million Guardians of lib
erty ready to protest. Eighty six
per cent. Of the population Of this
country are protestants. and il they
can't look out for its existence it is
high time we dnd it out. Prove to US
that your people owe their frst alleg-
lance 10 the United States aud we
will welcome them 10 any Office in our
land.
It you are still unconv inced that
the election vas the voice of the peo-
pie, wait until after next November
and I think YOU will see something
that will open your eyes 70 the Ct
that we are through With priest rule
in the United States. You say "The
Catholics will 90 % far 90 their faith
ers went for the people Who hate
them. Do you mean to say that
you stand ready to repeat the st.
B1fthOl0mev mAssacre2 -FOUR words
can mean nothing else, for the history
OF Rome IL one massacre after anoth.
Or. You threaten, and oil because
your favored cApdidstes were defeat
ed at thu last election. The American
people will stand tor no infringement
OF tho public school. Il 10 not
against the Catholic religion that 10
protest. but against tho abuse Of
privileges. Il IL not against the
Catholic people. but against priest
rule. think you.
