ways. The most aggravated being
the pouring Of molasses over him
from new cans Of the sticky SUBJ
stance provided, probably with cool
deliberation by older heads in the
Roman Catholic church, quite like
~ by priests in charge Of the school
which these young tormentors at
tended. Aftsr the vile and humili-
ating episode the victim Of ttis
popish wrath was then again
dragged into police headquarters
but Immediately ordered to get
out" as the sticky molasses was
dripping from his clothing over the
carpets and floor Of the place.
Laity Persecution Encouraged
AS stated above such Of this per-
secution as was not directly perpe-
trated BY Detroit's ignorant papal
police force upon the body Of this
heroic patriot was inspired, en-
couraged, or at least sanctioned by
them. During the most flagrant
and iniquitous assaults blue-coated
policemen would stand near the
scene and often smile broadly at the
most rancorous and vicious aggres-
sions upon the peace and constitu-
tional rights Of this law-abiding
American citizen.
With fortitude and composure that
has been none short Of the spirit Of
thousands who have gone to the
rack and the stake in the past at
the behest Of Rome. he endured their

lice headquarters amid the jeers and
taunts Of the loyal subjects Of the
papal sovereign who had been and
are taught to hate that freedom Of
speech and press that is q funda-
mental principle Of our liberal de-
mocracy and ORGANIC Law Of
our land.
Finding that fear Of police head
quarters had no effect on this fear
less defender % free press and free
speech there was instituted an ag-
gressive campaign Of personal abuse
and villifcation. He was accosted
by burly red-necks with the stamp
Of Rome on their bullet heads and
in their bleary eyes who, with vile
denuncistion, would threaten his
life. Old women Of the faith would
call him "a dirty pup" and ga faith
less loafer" and other epithets.
Young prospective nuns would
sneeringly spit.in his face and some
deliberately slapped him in the
mouth.
Perhaps, however, the most des-
picable idea these zealots conceived
was that Of i'aiting and encourag-
ing the chi1ren Of parochial
schools to joins in the persecution.
1t was almost a daily scene on his
corner for these youngsters, trained
and environed in q nearby Roman
Catholic school, to gather round
him after classes had been dismissed
and hsrass him in all manner Of
The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1916-12-30

sneers, their insults, their abuse,
their arrests and all the other de-
grees Of persecution inflicted upon
him with a serene fearlessness that
has won the admiration Of all not
hitched to the papal wagon who
know Of him and his admirable
work.
Character Assassination
No stone was left unturned to
destroy Jocque and Danish The
MENACE from the public streets in
Detroit. Finding that physical fear
was not a part Of Mr.. Jocque's ma
ture and that insults and abuse
were met with smiles and Christian
forbearance these representatives OF
q foreign potentate, ably assisted by
q Romanized newspaper press, next
resorted to q campaign OF character
blAckening. Stories were circulated
after being manufactured out of
whole cloth that reflected upon the
personal life and habits Of this pa
triot. And this in spite Of the we'll
known fact that Edward F. Jocque
bears an unblemished, sober and
enviable reputation. he has worked
since boyhood, been q good prUvider
for his wife and family and is now
paying out on beautiful little home
where he resides.
Among the most hAgrant at
tempts 10 destroy his reputation was
one which grew out Of an incident
that happened in the early winter
Of 1918. he was being man-handled
and abused by q brutal police Off
Ger who was arresting him when a
young Jewess who happened to be
passing and witnessed the whole
disgraceful affair, entered her pro-
test against such unnecessary abuse
and high-handed procedure on the
part Of the officer Of the law. She
was ordered to move on by the gal
liant (?) policeman. She refused
basing the refusal upon her consti-
tutiOnal rights as an American citi-
zen. The arrogant son Of Rome
thereupon took her into custody also
and lodged the complaint against
both: Disturbing the peace" They
were thrown into Jail but were soon
bailed out by patriots who learned
Of the affair.
The press Of the city, all more or

friends and Catholic neighbors try
ing to tell them what he had
learned. This soon brought down
upon his head the condemnation
and hatred of all Of Rome's bigoted
minions who knew Of him or his
work, as is always the case when a
fearless victim breaks from the
stultifying influence Of her teach
ing.
Begins to Sell Menace"
In February, 1914, Patriot Jocque
quit his job at the Dodge Bros.
Automobile Works, where he was
employed as an expert metal pol
isher at $500 per day, and took up
the work Of selling THE MENACE
on the streets of Detroit. Then be-
gan a persecution such as Roman
pharisaism only, could execute.
The day following his intro
ductiOn Of THE MENACE on the
corner Of Woodward and State
streets, the most prominent corner
of the city, he was grabbed by q
Roman Catholic policeman named
Schmansky, and dragged away to
police headquarters where, after be-
ing roundly abused, was told that
he would have to positively quit
selling THE MENACE on the streets
of Detroit. He was then turned
loose. Five times during that first
week Patriot Jocque was Inundated
by being accosted BY a burly Roman
policeman and hustied svay TO po-

TP0N my arrival in Detroit,
IO Friday, December sth TO IN
Xxx yestigate the reported perse-
~ cution Of Edward +. Jocque
who had been dragged through the
streets into police headquarters one
hundred and tan times in one year
for selling THE MENACE on the
corners, my first duty consisted in
visiting the patriot in question. |
soon located him in his little home,
surrounded by his family, composed
Of q splendid wife and four beau
tiful and bright children from which
setting he radiated a human sun
shine and wholesome patriotic ardor
that at once set at rest any doubts
as to the kind OF a man the subject
of our trip might be.
He told the story Of his pcrsecu-
ton in a simple straightforward
and fearless manner which imme-
diately arrested attention and won
my most sincere admiration. II
was almost unbelievable that any
man, in one Of Americas largest
and most progressive cities, could
have been subjected to such per-
sistent, heartless and determined
persecution as had been this man.
Think Of it, patriots In free
America and in its fifth largest city
a sturdy native-born workingman,
inspired with the zeal that sent
early Christian martyrs to the rack,
dragged through the public streets
into police headquarters one hun
dred and ten times in one year and
five times since the last election,
man-handleG by Catholic police Of
fcers, abused and Inundated by be-
ing called every vile and imprint
able name that foul Romanist
tongue could frame.
Men, women and children, who
sttend the conference and who were
too often encouraged by ignorant
children Of the pope in police uni
torms, have spit in his face, slapped,
and insulted him, poured cans Of
molasses over him and almost daily
threatened his life. And all Of this
IMPLY because he sells THE MENACE

less controlled by the Roman church,
in reporting the affair, particularly
played up in the headlines. That
Edward +. Joque had been arrested
WITH A WOMAN" In this man
ner the poisonous impression was
left with the reader, who failed to-
read the whole article, that Jocqusi
had been caught in some disgraceful !
and compromising position and had
been arrested for carnal delinquen-'
cy OF some similar offense.
Persecution By Rome's Boycott ;
Lewis Stahl, father-in-law OF
Patriot Jocque, conducted a meat
market on one corner Of the city for
twenty years. He was a substantial,
honest and sturdy business man Of
the community. Patriot Jocqus
and his family had rooms over the
store and to this address he had his
three thousand copies Of THE MRS-
ACE shipped each week. The long
arm Of Romish hatred not satisfied
with the heartless persecution Of ths
young man also reached out after
the old man who was so unfortunate
as to be his fathe--in-law.

who had married his daughter, Levin,
Stahl had lost 6s percent Of his
business and in q year and q half,
after twenty years Of successful
operation, his shop was closed to
satisfy his creditors and he wasl

And here we have an object les-i

he ROMAN CATHOLIC DEADLIET MENACE
-AW ABIDING CITIZEN OF DETROIT
ARRESTED 10 TIMES IN So WEEKS
Unparalleled, Illegal Persecution of Patriot, in

on the streets, along side Of other
newsboys, and cries his wares.
Perhaps in the history Of Rome's
persecution through an ignorant
papal police following and other
dupes Of the sovereign on the Tiber.
no one free-born American citizen
has ever experienced such cruel and
almost uncanny persecution as that
which has been inflicted upon Edw.
F. Jocque in Detroit, Michigan, U.
S. A.
The story he told, and which has
been abundantly substantiated BY
numerous other earnest patriots Of
Detroit is q striking and startling
illustration Of Rome's unremitting
policy Of crushing and stamping
out at any cost all anti-papal spirit.
Particularly is this true when it so
happens that the one to express this
spirit has been unfortunate enough
as to have in any way been con-
nected with the Roman Catholic
church. Patriot Jocque was raised
a Catholic and at the present time
has a Catholic uncle on the police
force in Detroit. II is said that
more than eighty percent Of the
police Of the city are subjects Of the
foreign sovereign, Pope Benedict
XIV. These ignorant dupes Of the
confessional, in their blind fanatical
rage toward one of the former MEM
bers Of their faith, have been the
most persistent and determined
prosecutors.
Insulted By Priests
Edward +. Jocque was born in
the city Of Detroit on May Sth,
1881, Of French Catholic parents.
He was christened in the Catholic
faith, attended Catholic schools and
was a regular communicant Of the
church until he was twenty nine
years Of age. 1t was then he mar
ried a Protestant girl and engaged
a Protestant minister 10 perform
the marriage ceremony. Shortly
after his marriage he met his late
"father confessor" who took him to
task for being married by q Protes-
tant minister and castigated him
as follows: "Well, son, Of course you
know you are living in prostitution
with the woman you now call your
wife and your children will be the
illegitimate spawn Of your illicit in
tercours..
The insult cut deep into the very
fibre Of this sensitive young man
and the reflection upon the chastity
of his young wife made it almost
impossible for him to keep hands
off the throat of the sanctimonious
hypocritc in spite Of the teachings
of his whole life. However, after
the sting had worn of he began to
think and then he began to study.
The logical result of open-minded
investigation soon brought him TO Il
full realization Of what an awful
dupe he had been. But the thing
that most startled him and, as the
saying is, brought him outstanding,
was the realization of the grave
menace that confronted Americas
free institutions by the hierarchy of
the Roman Catholic church. Then
he began to agtate among his

 MENACED BY VILLA FORGE
Has Sent an Urgent Appeal to Madeira
 for Assistance.

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 22.-Cut off and menaced by a strong force of Villa followers, the de facto government garrison at Guarrero, Western Chihua- hua, has sent an urgent appeal to the Carranza commander at Madeira for assistance. We are far from other help, but intend to resist to the last, was the message sent to General Ber- tani at Madeira and received in Juarez early today.
 The telephone line between Guarrero and Minaca Is down and there Is little prospect of the garrison receiving as- sistance from that quarter.

DAVID R. FRANCIS ACCEPTS
 APPOINTMENT TO RUSSIA. Inquiry Will Now Be Made as to Whether He is Acceptable to Russia.

Washington, Feb. 22-David R. Francis, secretary of the interior in CleveIand's cabine tand former gover- nor of Missouri, told President Wilson today he would accept the post of ann baSsador to Russia, to succeed George T. Marye, who has resigned. His nomination will be sent to the senate as soon as an inquiry can be made of the Russian government as to whether he is acceptable.
 MT. Francis called on the president during the day with Senator Reed of Missouri. Later he will confer with Secretary Lansing at the state depart ment about his duties.
 The president and Secretary Lan- sing attached unusual importance to the embassy at Petrograd at present because of questions growing out of the European war and the problem of inspecting the large detention camps in Russia in which are held thousands of German and Austro- o-Hungarian prisoners.
 MT Francis was offered the post of ambassador to Argentina early in the present administration, but declined because of the press of personal busi- ness.
