/" Catholic Loyalty" and PriestIy
$sH~aa InSOIence.

HEN hEILE1, the KOmanlSt bishop OF
Savannah, is ravenously fond of airing
his political prejudices in the Savannah
papers.
Any rotten stuff that Benjamin will write,
the Savannah papers print Of course, if
Bens holy chancellor gets gay after calico,
and has his skull split in the bishops palace,
the bishop doesn't write anything about that.
And the Savannah papers make no allusion
to the circumstance-which,h had it happened
in the parsonage of a Protestant clergyman,
would have filled several columns in those
priest ridden Sheets
The latest out pouring of Benjamin Kelley
was on the subject Of "Catholic loyalty"
He exultingly dwelt upon the zeal with
which Catholics are rushing into the war on
Mexico, as an evidence of the loyalty of
Catholics to the government under which they
live.
Inasmuch as Cardinals Gibbons Farley,
and O'Connell have been virulently denounc-
ing the Constituencies of Mexico, for tao
gears; and as Archbishop Mora of Mexico has
been in New Orleans plotting with Gibbons
and Archbishop Blenk; and as every Ro-
manlst paper In the land has been demanding
the invasion of Mexico, it is no wonder that
Catholics rush to arms.
But let us ask Bishop Ben few questions:
~ Ii Catholics are so loyal to our Gov
eminent, By itself and as independent Of
Rome, why did the Roman church parade, in
Washington City, on Preparedness Day, re-
fuse to take the place assigned to it among
the other churches; and a0hy did 1t march
uaader the church flag, instead Of the United
States flag?
Why did "Monsignor" Russell and other
Romanist big-wigs, in the nations capital,
e0here the Popes political ambassador holds
illegal relations e0ith our Presjdent-why did
the Roman Church publicly insult the Pro
testant churches and the national flag?
~ Why does Archbishop Prendergast's
organ, The Pittsburgh Observer, hotly defend
the Catholic teacher, Miss Duncan, avho re-
fused to az2oeO an american flag to be &C.
copied I'm the public school IN Brookzyn9
That flag was offered by Mrs. Miller, and
it was scornfully rejected by Miss Duncan
Her lame excuse, afterwards, was that the
flag had been bought by the Junior Order of
American Mechanics.
Thus an insolent Catholic teacher in pub
lie school not only expressed her hatred and
contempt for a patriotic organization of
workingmen, but she insulted also the Prot
estant taxpayers whose money pays her salary
(3) Why do the Catholic priests of Can
ada forbid French Canadians to enlist for the
European war, in which France is fighting
for life?
The Canadian Protestants enlisted, and did
some of the most gallant work on the battle
line, defending France from the hideous
atrocities of German invaders.
But the Canadian Catholics won't enlist, be-
cause the French and Irish priests threaten to
excommunicate them if they do.
Is that fair sample of ''Catholic loyalty?"
Speak up, Bishop Kelley. Rush into the
Savannah papers and tell us about it.

Which | mean to say, Bishop Kelley sent
his Father Schadewell off from Savannah,
because Shade was causing scandal Besides,
ne was soiling the Bishops floor by letting
his gore fall upon it,
"A good Catholic, named Jerry Walsh had
hastily entered the Bishops palace, with
stick In his hand and blood in his eye
Jerry did not pause at the portals to cross
himself, firt Holy water, or give the pass
word. He simply marched in, as who should
say-"In case like this, crosses, signs, genu-
flexlons, Holy water, and passwords are
entirely too SLOW"
Being in hurry, Brother Walsh was right
on Brother Schadewell, before you could say,
Abra Cadabra Multo in parvo, or E Pluribus
Unum.
Did Jerry whale Father Shade over the

Did Father Shades gore mess up Bishop
Keiley's floor? Tt sure did

Did they cast him into prison? Yes.
Did the lions eat him? No.

SO far as the Savannah papers were con-
cerned, it didn't happen.
But Jerry and Shade could not both live
in Savannah, and so the alien Bishop trans
ferred Father Shade to Washington, Ca,
which is also nice city.
[ regret to report that this new, jackass,
Fielder Eilchelberger law has caused Father
Shade to run afoul of barbed-wire entangle-
ments, for he was so innocently imprudent
as to order 80 quarts of wine, at one time
OF course, you will understand that wine
is the raw material out Of which Father
SchadeWell manufactures the blood of Christ;
and therefore the Georgia law should initiate
the Colorado Supreme Court which sagely
decided that the Prohibition law does not
apply to priests.
Possibly, Fielder and Eichelberger feared
TO follow the Colorado decision, lest every
thirsty soul should become priest IF that

fion is, that when Father Schadewells raw

You can see for yourself that Schadewell
Should have had priest at the shipping
point, to change the wine into blood, and to
ship it as so quarts of blood.
There is no law against the shipping and
drinking Of blood: consequently, Father
Schadewell ran unnecessary risks when he
caused the stuff to be freighted, before it was
transubstantiated.

Huntsville, Ala, Nov. 2O.--David
D. Overton, former clerk of the Mad
ison county court, charged with the
murder last June of Probate Judge
w. T. Lawler whose trial begins here

will offer witnesses who, it is alleged,
will account for Overton's where

ing the day Judge LAWYERS body was
found in slough of the Tennessee
river near here.
It was learned today that Overton
when arraigned before Judge d. M
Miller last week, did not plead to the
Indictment charging him with the
murder of the Huntsville jurist.. Il
is pointed out by attorneys that tbs
defense filed pleas in abatement, al
the moment Overton was asked by
the court if he twas guilty or moi
guilty. The accused man at that mo-
ment was on his feet and in the aci
of answering the indictment, it was
commended, but took his seat and was
not again questioned.
Before the trial opens tomorrow
the pleas in abatement win be de-
cided by the jury which mean a delay
