OLD Time VICTORY
Northern Kansas Looks for Re-
publican Revival.
New Spirit Found at Swedish
Lutheran Picnic.

Northern Kansas is preparing for a
real old time Republican victory next
fall. That was the news that greeted
Governor Capper and his party when
they visited the big Swedish Lutheran
picnic near Axtell, Marshall county.
Through Jackson, Nemaha and Mar
shall counties, the party was assured
that Republican disaffection of two
years ago has been wiped away and
both Republicans and Progressives
will work in harmony this year.
Two years ago Governor Capper
carried Marshall county by 922 votes
ever George H. Hodges, Democrat.
This year Marshall county Republi-
cans claim the governors majority
will be increased to 1900 or 1900.
Marshall county will do its share
in giving the state the biggest Repub-
lican majority in history" said one
Republican. Republicans and Pro-
gressives of two and four years ago
are just Republicans now. We don't
mention the past. We are working for
big majorities next fall"
In Marshall county it was evident
that plans are being made to deliver
the county to Charles M. Harger of
Abilene in his fight for congress. Har-
ger will be nominated without opposi-
ton in the Republican primaries. But
Marshall is the home of Congressman
Guy t. Helvering and an effort will
be made to swing the county for Har-
ger.
when November comes, delivering
will not be able to land more than his
party strength in Marshall" was one
prediction. "Harger will run right
along with the Republican ticket"
More than 1000 people attended
the picnic. Governor Capper and JUS

preme court were the principal speak

$1,000 TOPEKA VOTERS
Close of Registration Books Indicates
PrimaFy's Strength.

Miss Eta Covell, city clerk and in
charge of the registration books, which
closed Friday night. after 1892 per-
sons had registered that day, believes
the total voting strength of this city
will be about p 600 for the primaries
next month. That number of quail
fled voters is indicated by the activity
in REGISTRATION while the books were
open.
The official count of the number of
qualified voters has not been COM
pleted and the force in the depart
me1lt will probably have to work
early and late to get the count COM
pleted by a week from today. 1t is
possible. Miss Covell said, the force
may work tomorrow.
One of the features of the registra-
ton was the interest in voting shown
bys newly naturalized Americans.
There were dozens of foreigners who
had not had their papers for more
than two weeks who registered, Miss
Gov ell said.

Which will win? Have you any preference?
Are you Indifferent? Don't you care?
Nearly half the Christians in this country
are Roman Catholics. They are organized
and aggressive. They control vast deal Of
the machinery of your Government They
have charge Of many of your courts.
They dominate your Army, your Navy,
your foreign policy, and your daily press.
The are fighting your public schools, cen
soring your public libraries, rewriting your
histories and Encyclopedias, controlling the
Moving pictures, boycotting and prosecuting
every lecturer and publisher who dares to
assall their foreign church.
Can two systems live together peacefully,
when one teaches monarchy and the other,
democracy? When one teaches the Supremacy
of the Pope, and the other, the Supremacy Of
the Law? When one teaches that Rome must
control education, literature, politics and re-
hglon, while the other demands complete in
dependence for the State?
Can two locomotives, at full speed, meet on
the track and do no damage? Can two clouds,
charged with electricity, rush together, and
precpitate no storm? Can the ship dash

Woe to the land that fails to recognize
facts.
The most terribly menacing fact in
America, today, is the defiant, encroaching,
lawless power of the Roman Catholic church.

Mr.. John w. Jordan

My Dear Sir:-Excuse me please reflection
and by inquiry it has dawned upon todays
who you are.
I thought that had addressed a different man,
and must decline to take any further notice Of
anything that you may write or publish.
beg to remain, yours most sincerely,
VIM A. MCCARTHY
"Yours most sincerely"
"My dear sir, I have now found you out,
and decline to deign to take any further cog
nlzance of your existence, but beg to remain
yours most sincerely"
McCarty must be sad wag. How can he
remain Jordans "most sincerely,' if he here
after refuses to admit that there is any such
person as Jordan?
o Previously, McCarty had written to Jor-
dan, whom he took to be "a different man.
McCarty says that he got his Jordans mixed.
After he discovered that he had walked the
wrong Jordan, he most sincerely rang him
off,
that [ knew who that other Jordan is!
l know lots of Jordans, and some of them are
hard roads to travel; but [ sure would like
to know the one that McCarty mistook for
my friend John w.
McCarty in his previous letter, addressed
to that other Jordan-whoever he is-assured
that misguided, unidentified individual, that
the Pope's church does not favor State aid to
public secular schools.
McCarty doesn't seem to know that Cover
nor Sulzer, was defeated by Cardinal Farlev
and the X. of G. in New York, because Gov.
Sulzer vetoed the Catholic bills which gave
State money to the Pope's schools.
Does McCarty know more than Cardinal
Farley?
Does he know more than Pope Plus TX,

church laws, in 1864?

poses living among us, but not part Of US.
In their eyes, it is not wrong to mob and
murder an American who exposes the horrible
secrets of the Roman Catholic system.
TO them, 1t does not seem wrong to force a
Catholic husband to forsake his Protestant
wife, when she refuses to admit that the State
law does not bind Catholic citizen.
The priest will compel the lawfully married
couple to separate, and will give no thought
whatever to the Protestant a0ife, qohona he has
9uined
He will go into his pulpit and preach in
defense Of his deviltry and lawlessness, and
Will argue that the Roman church merely ex-
acts obedience from her children
But what about the Protestant wife, whose
lawful husband has basely abandoned her,
leaving her life wrecked?
What about the laws of the State, the
license issued by the State, and the ceremony
performed by the State?
These are nothing The Roman church
brushes them away.
The Catholic is a citizen of the State, votes,
holds office, serves on the jury, and holds life
and property under the protection of the
State?
Oh yes; that is true.
Why, them is he not bound, like any other
citizen, by the laws of the State?
Because he is Roman Catholic, and his
first allegiance is to his foreign master, the
Italian pope.
PROTESTANT EDUCATION rs. RO-
MANIST.
In like manner, the priests cannot compre-
bend our idea about secular education. We
believe that religion is something that must
be gained by the united action of mind, soul,
and heart: the priest believes that it can be
taught, like you train a parrot to talk, or a
dog to hunt birds.
With as, religion is partly emotion, partly
Will-poWer, and altogether a result of free,
voluntary, independent action.
With the priest, religion is set of harness.
to be fitted on to the child, as you would catch
a pony, bride it, harness it, and hitch it to
vehicle
With us, religion is a thing to itself,
separate from government and literature; and
it is to be found in the home, in the Sunday
school, and in the church.
The Roman church mever established q Sum-
day School, never formed q Bible Society;
and ne0cr ALLOWED the zngr7aan to haze the
Book IN the house, TO TEACH HIS OWN
CHILDREN, about religion.
The priest monopolized the whole thing
1t was the priest who alone had the Bible:
it was the priest who alone taught the child:
1t was the priest who kept control of the
family through the confessional; and there
fore, from generation to generation, the lay
man was the superstitious slave Of the church
The priests rannot realize that their con-
tracts, binding a Protestant husband, or
Protestant wife, to rear the children as Catho-
lies, are against public policy and religious
freedom.
Yet it is apparent that, if the child is de-
prived of the right to choose for itself, it's
religious freedom is gone.
We do not recognize the authority of
