Jesuitism In Full Bloom

A very large proportion of the Protestant
ministers and the Protestant laity, and a
very large proportion of the membership of
the Masonic bodies in the United States
have been psychological and made indiffer-
tent to the dangers which threaten our gov
ernment. The Jesuitical methods Of decep-
ton in which the pope's emissaries have
been trained and schooled for centuries,
have been used with too good effect.
The American Indians speak Of one who
Is guilty of deception as having "forked
tongue" This Indian thought is so ex-
pressive, that it may we'll be applied to all
members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

LThs following Is the full report Of address, by
Hon. j. l. Sheppard. founder and seeretary-treasurer
Of the Free Press Defense League delivered on jan
2lgt at Light Guard ArmOry Hall, Detroit, Mich.
The meeting was one Of the most remarkable
gatherings In the history of this great city, which
In point Of population ranks sixth In the country.
"There raging the day." says the report OF q

the year. fierce gale was blowing the hne snow

patriots felt that only q handful of people would
brave the elements and yet they came by the thou
sands, for higher iand than mans, was behind the
movement and in the hearts OF tho patriots OF De-
troit famed high and holy patriotism such az has
marked every great forward movement In the history
Of advancing civilization.
Thus what was supposed to be the impossible
happened and a vast audience, estimated at up.
wards Of 5000 serious-minded Americans, braved
the fury Of winter storm to hear the vital message
and assist In launching this great campaign for
the restoration and preservation Of the principles
Of the Declaration Of Independence the federal
stitution and our free institutions.
The audience gave the speaker . royal welcome.
and as he proceeded with his mastery and unAn-
swerabe address the enthusiasm steadily grew.
Every great point was greeted with thunderous ap-
plause. The feeling Of all present was that II the
mighty overshadowing issue Is placed before the

Luther's Service to Civilization

Four hundred years ago Martin Luther,
a Roman Catholic priest, broke with his
church on account of its corruption and
cruelty, and launched The Reformation.
The progress Christianity and western civil
ization has made under Professionalism is the
enduring monument to Luther's service to
mankind.
No man can measure the debt civilization
owes to Martin Luther and the other mas
ter spirits of the Protestant Reformation
who broke the shackles Of ignorance and
superstition, lberating mans God-given
reason and sowing the world with the word
Of God.
From my window at the hotel this morn
ing noticed statue of Christopher Co
lumbus. Now, want you patriots of De-
troit to see to it that noble statue OF
Martin Luther is placed on that same plot
of ground, as fitting memorial of the man
who was the mightiest figure in that mighty
movement that through liberating the
thought of the Christian world, made possi-
.slt-nay, more, inevitable modern democ-
racy.

E1 nifcent spirit manifested by the pa.

thrills me with inexpressible emotion.
Deeply touched, / can only say from the

MORE OF GORMLEY,s WORK.

ED by Senator Thomas f. Gormley, OF the South
II ern District OF this city. eight members Of the
State Senate lined up yesterday in opposition TO edu-
cational reform in Wilmington and defeated the Five
Commissioner bill in that behalf II is significant
fact that OF the eight Senators who dsregarded Will
mugton sentiment and wantonly sacrificed the best
interests OF Wilmington school children. six we're
Democrats and two we're independent Republicans
All the regular Republican members lined up IN
favor OF educational reform. and Senator Wharton,
Democrat OF Dover a college graduate and one OF the
most intelligent members OF the Senate voted with
them.
When we suggested in a news story. two or three
days ago. that Senator Gormey had lined up the
Democratic members against the bill 20 defeat It,
Gormlcy denounced the suggestion as "a lie" The
vote against the measure gives ample answer to his
vehement disclaimer He helped to kill the bill two
years ago and he helped to ldil it yesterday and as
Wilmlngtonan with thousands OF school children IN
his district affected adversely by his course he ought
to be heartily ashamed Of himself
The result the shows that Baynard Cooper in
huence counts for more with certain men in Dover
than does the influence OF the people OF the city at
large II the Baynard Cooper Board Of Education clique
thinks the vote yesterday ends the fight Of the people
against it, It is mistaken There Will be no let-up IN
the ght until the educational affairs OF city have
been put in the control Of properly constituted and
intelligent board.

UNEASY RESTS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE
GERMAN GROWN.

TTis an old saying that "he Gar and the Kaiser fall
l together"
The Car has fallen and with him ends tho Romanon
dynasty which for 800 years has held the great Russian
people in the grip OF an oriental despousm
Is the Kaiser next?
VIII the Prussan war lord fall and thus end tho
Hohenzoern dynasty which has driven the great Ger
man people 10 the very verge OF destruction
only the future answer this question
But il is Of great significance that on the day that
the Car fell the German Chancellor told the Prussan
diet that plans in the making FOR liberazing the
German Government by giving the people greater voice
IN its affairs.
In theory the German Kaiser is a constitutional mon
arch: in fact tho Kaiser is much absolutist as
was the Car. He exercises his absoutsm through
tho Prussian military machine OF which he is supreme
master.
There is little more real liberty in Germany under
the Hohenzolerns than there in Russia under the
Romanoffs.
In many respects-the German people have been more
thoroughly enslaved by the Kaiser than the Russian
people by the Car.
For the Kaiser has ensayed the minds as well the
bodies OF the German people This is manifested by
the character whole body Of German literature Of
recent years which only conceded the right OF
the military autocracy to rule and guide the desnies
Of the nation but has glorihed this the most desr-
able form of government.
Exactly the opposite OF affairs has existed IN
Russia where the whole htellectual ire OF ihe nalon
has been the ideal Of political liberty
Thousands OF the greatest Russians have not hest
tated to sacrifice their lives freedom the noble
cause
But there is evidence that the German people are
beginning 70 awaken 20 the horror OF the position to
which their false leaders have led them.
10 is not to be expected that they emancipate
themselves as easily did the people OF Russia.
II would not be surprising however IL events moved
very rapidly Germany toward the revolution which,
n successful will drive the Hohenzoerns and their
blood-stained satellites from power.
We venture the guess that the Kaisor's is the most
uneasy crowned head in the world today and think
the civilized world feels that he has good for his
uneasiness.
