Cases Under Investigation
There are now several cases under
investigation where it is reported to
US, women and girls are held against
their will in converts and Houses Of
the Good Shepherd. We expect in
every such case where the facts JUS
tify it to obtain freedom for these
prisoners and damages for their de-
tention.
So much complaint has come to The
MENACE Office against postmasters and
mail carriers interfering with the de-
livery of THE MENACE that we have
been forced to the belief that an or
ganized effort is being made by the
Romanists to restrict and limit the
circulation Of our paper. To meet
this emergency, we have placed all
these matters in the hands of an ex-
perienced lawyer, who will personally
investigate the charges Of interference
by postal officials with THE MENACE,
and wherever evidence to warrant the
same can be secured; prosecutions
both civil and criminal will be in
stituted.
Work Just Beginning
The work of the Free Press Defense
League is just beginning. Constantly
new lines of activity are developing
that demand our attention. More and
more the necessity for the existence Of
the League is made apparent. 1t is
the only organization in Anaeric1
which, tcorking in complete harmony
,vith all patriotic orders, patriotic so
cisties and patriotic individuals, open
ly challenges the Roman hierarchy to
unslueT in courts and congress for its
conspiracy to destroy our free insti-
tutions.
An institution which is 80 much
needed in our national life ought not
be cramped for the necessary funds
with which to carry on its operations.
You certainly will agree with us that
If men are willing to devote their lives
to a work SO vital to the liberties Of
the people, they ought not be under
the necessity Of constantly begging
and importuning their fellow men for
the means to successfully carry on the
contest.

Livestock Sale Postponed

The sale Of the Cavalier county
pure bred livestock dealers, to have
been held here early during the month
of November has been called off Its
indefinite postponement is due to the
fact that the amount of stock which
breeders have for sale in this county
is not sufficient to warrant the stag.
ing of an auction sale of such stock.
1t has been decided to call Of the
sale for date to be announced later,
and i t may be also stated that the
premature appearance of winter is to
quite and etxent responsible for the
big sale of Friday, November 18th
not materializing. In addition to
bad weather, scarcity of hay and feed
are also factors that render it impos-
sible to make stock fit to offer on
such market as this was to have
been. 1t also would have rendered
to make the offering a much smaller
one than was hoped otherwise would
have been the case. For those look
ing for pure bred animals, list of

plication to j. w. Haw, at Lang

LhRGD0N ELEVEN READY
FOR BIG CONTEST

The b ig event in Langdon for this
week is the football game which the
teams of the Langdon and Park River
high school will play here. This year
Park River is again heard from with
one of the fastest elevens in the nor.
thern part of the state. So far they
have succeeded in downing all of their
opponents. They realize, however,
that in coming to Langdon for the
game of Saturday afternoon, they
will have to play for blood to get a
decisive score. The Langdon eleven
have so far this season only been seen
in practice games, but the style of
their tackle and their general snappy
field work entities them to more than
an even chance in the contest which
the close of the present week will
decide. If you want to see clean
cut championship game of football
played be on hand when the kick off
is called in the contest between Lang
don and Park River Saturday after.
