Here is Another One for Doctor
William III. Smith.

HE cost of living comes awfully high in
the Eastern Countries according to
Doctor Smith, of our Richmond Board.
Nevertheless, [ find where one of the
richest men in Japan recently gave dinner
to Japanese provincial governor, at cost
Of 60 cents.
Three men were Toasted beautifully on that
sum, and the scraps and bones probably doled
out to the poor.
What sort of feast could you and [ give
Governor Nat. Harris, in Atlanta for 60
cents?
We three might possibly get three plates
OF ambiguous soup for that amount, but we'd
have to stop with the soup.
Why, you know as we'll as I do that man
was not made to live on soup alone; and
Col. Nat. is one of these here substantial per-
sons who naturally has to have substantial
grub.
Harper's Weekly is my authority for say
ing that Lenjiro Tasuda, the Rockefeller Of
Japan, dined the governor of a province and
one other person, and also himself, on GO
cents, and they had good square meal
When Tasuda launched out in life, his
wages were three dollars and a half year,
and he saved money out of it, In fact, he
got his start that way.
Now, If | were in Atlanta and should in
vite Governor Harris and you to dine with
me in my room at the hotel, the meal would
cost me more than the years wages Of
Tasuda.
DR.. Smith has made an awful mess of this
debate, hasn't he?

EDT TORTAL NOTES
Ry j. I'D. WATSON

q CONGRESS has been in session about two
- MONTHS and nothing whatever has been
accomplished by our lawmakers except to let
the War Revenue Emergency Tax measure
remain on the statute BOOKS instead of re-
pealing it as we were promised would be
done when it was first enacted.
A state of chaos seems to reign-the Demo-
Gratis are divided and show the usual lack of
able leadership-the Republicans showing no
disposition to pour oil upon the troubled wa
ters for the smooth sailing of the Democratic
ark.

Some Roman Catholic Perver-
siOnS of History.

I2S1t0T, he cites some early American
"history," which he says "the patriots . have
forgotten
He asks himself a series of questions and
then answers them, to his serene satisfaction.
First-of course-is the old gag about Co
lumbus discovering America.
This has been exploded numberless times,
but the Dad and the knights always come
back to it.
Some day mean to publish in our maya
zine the full story of the pilot who was driven
to the North American coast by storm, and
who was one of the few survivors that got
back to Spanish port.
Columbus took the sick man into his house,
and he died there, Tearing to has generous host
o rough chart outlining the a0ay TO land acest
of the ocean,
Columbus and Pinson sailed by this chart,
and butted up against the Bahamas and the
West Indies.
They thought they had reached India, and
that is why they gave that name to the Islands
and the natives.
Indians never called themselves by that
name before the Spaniards confused them
with the people of India.
Secodly, Dad Noll asks himself whose name
was given to this New World, and he informs
himself that it was An1e1ago TeSpucci
Poor old ignoramus Daddy Noll can
easily learn that AmoGr0c0 2C0S the O1'1ga1lGt
Ymdi01a name for the country.
Kings and Queens use their first name and
are known by it hence, when discovery was
named for King George, or King Louis, or
Queen Mary, &c, the first name was used
examples, Louisiana, Georgia, Maryland, &c.
But when colony, city, or discovery was
named after private person, the family name
Asur- name) was used: examples, Pennsyl-
vania, Pittsburgh, Washington, Jacksonville,
Van Dieman's Land, &c.
Now, if our country had been named after
Vcspucci, we would be enjoying ourselves
trying to pronounce Vespucciania, and we
would all be proud Vespuccianians.
The Lord was good to us and averted that
calamity.
The Catholics themselves prove the truth
of my statement, because they don't call their
youngest criminal military organization by
Che name of Christopher, but by that of
Columbus.
We have no city named Christopher, but
several named Columbus.
We have no State or Federation named
Christopher, but we have a Republic of Co.
lumbia, and we have District of Columbia
In South America, the name Amaraca,
varously spelled, is borne by rivers and
mountains, just as Indian names cling to so
many of our North American mountains, val
leys, and streams: examples, Nacoochee, o.
mulgee, Ogeechee, Neosha, Chickahominy,
Uchee, &c.
Daddy Noll ought to read up, and learn
something of the history his country. The
books he relies on were long since displaced
because of the discoveries of explorers, eth
biologists, and psychologists.
Continuing to interrogate himself, Noll
asks r.>4,f

olics murdered the Protestant colony, because
they we're Protestants.
That's near where the Protestant prisoners
who had surrendered under solemn promise
of life, acre 6utchered IN cold blood, as soon
as they had been disarmed.
That's where the Catholics had torture
room, and hellish iron and steel instruments
to infict horrible pain on Protestants who
refused to recant and become foot kissing
papsts.
San Francisco and Los Angeles!
Yes; there's where the Catholic marauders
and priests went to conquer the Indians, and
extend over them the slave system of Mexico.
That's where the Indian race almost dis
appeared under the yoke of priestly, slavery,
Just as it did die out in the West Indies.
That's where Romes crushing yoke was
never broken, until gold was discovered, and
Protestants rushed in
St. George, Maryland! That's where the
Protcstants a0ere IN q majority, and the Cath
Ollie colony favored liberation.
AS the rooster said to the horse, "Let's not
tread on one another"
Catholics never tolerate where then are the
horse and the Protestants are the rooster.
Dad Noll asks himself another one:
Were our enemies, who are insisting so much
on religious liberty, the first to grant it?
Indeed not Religious persecution was the
order of the day among all Protestant sects until
Lord Baltimore, the Catholic head of the Colony
Of Maryland, made religious liberty of the
provisions in the charter of his State.
"Our enemies had established religious
liberty in Rhode Island before Lord Balti-
more and his colony ever left England; and
William the Silent had established it Holland,
before Roger Williams was ever heard Of
To establish it in Holland, William the
Silent and his heroic Dutch had to fight the
Pope of Rome and the King of Spain many
and many bloody year; and after he had
established it the Pope and King were so bent
on vengeance, that they had him assoSsin0ted
en- his 0aon honae IN the bosom Of his fanaizy.
Daddy Noll should be more careful how he
drops into "history:" he doesn't know much
about it,
Continuing to illumine his mind with edi-
flying facts, Mr.. Noll says
st. Peter bishop of Rome St. Peter wrote
- his first episte from Rome e. Peter 5, 13), call
ing it by the name Babylon. From the time of
the Neronian persecution this usage was common"

XVII, 5. Peter was not in the Assyrian Babylon,
which had fallen to desolation before his day.
Pagan Rome, with it's graspng power, crushing

Babylon of the West. That Rome is the Babylon
of Peters Epistle, is quite agreed by the best
scholars Catholic and non-Catholic. Among the
latter "Elcott's Commentary and the
Speakers Commentary" which says: 1--WE find

there Babylon must be understood as equivalent
to Rome.

REPUBLICANS HARMONIOUS.
Republican National and State Tickets
viii Sweep Northwest Kansas, Too
manY Democrats for Benton.

Beloit Kans., Oct. 28.-As the cam
paign draws to close in this district
the fighting organization that is backing
Otis L. Benton, of Oberlin, Republican
candidate for congress, is showing its
strength in a manner unexpected by
the Democrats in the opening days of
the campaign. They had counted for
one thing, on the opposition or at Ieas,
the negative support of Max Anderson,
candidate against Mr.. Benton for the
Republican congressional nomination at
the primaries. Instead Anderson has
come out strong for Benton and the en-
tire Republican ticket. He has cam
county, in Benton's interest, and ad-
herents of John R. Connolly, of Colby,
Democratic candidate for reelection
are frankly disappointed and somewhat
dismayed at Anderson's activity.
Id. Young of Beloit, former con-
gresham from this dictrict; Mrs Eva
Morley Murphy, Progressive candidate
for congress in 1914; DIR. John B. Dykes
Republican candidate for congress in
1914-every living former candidate for
congress or for the nomination for con-
gress on the Republican or Progressive
ticket in the Sixth district is lined up
for Benton. Mrs. G. B. Walker of
Norton, former president OF the State
Federation Of Women's clubs, now on
the advisory committee of the Republi-
can congressional committee for the
Sixth district, is another active worker
for Benton's candidacy for congress.
GOVERNOR CAPPER HELPS BENTON.
Both the national and state tickets
are considered sure winners in tne Sixth
district this year Governor Capper's
trip through the district is conceded to
have strengthened both considerably,
and the governor made effective
speeches for the election of the Re
publican candidate for congress. The
governor and BENTON are personal
friends of long standing, and Governor
Capper urged Benton's election in every
speech he made in the district.
Benton and his friends are confident
of his election. The larger counties
they say, will give him substantial
leads, which, with the normal Republi-
can vote in the smaller counties, make
it seem impossible that the naval
congressman" from Kansas can expect
to be elected. Connolly, 1t may be re-
