The Pilot apparently gets a great
deal Of satisfaction out of the pas
sage Of a bill in the Massachusetts,
legislature forbidding school boards
to inquire into the religious or Do
litical relationship of prospective
teachers. The new law in Massa-
chusetts however, cannot and does not
require school board to employ
either Catholic or a Protestant be-
cause of their church membership. It
must not be supposed, however, that in
cities and towns having RomanizSd
school boards, a Protestant teacher
will stand chance If Romanist ap-
plies for the position. Certainly mot
If there is priest around.

The French government has or
dered that President Wilson's address
to congress, on America entering the
war, be read In every public school in
France. France has here initiated
something that should be followed in
every democratic nation in the world.

"The world must be made safe for
democracy" declares President Will
son, and every patriot will promptly
answer, "Aye! Aye" There is cor
relative demand no less timely or
important: "The state or the republic
must be made safe for democracy"
This is the object the Free Press De-
fense League and the patriotic millions
OF America are striving to accomplish
In combating the Roman Catholic Po-
litical Machines war against free
speech, free press, free assembly, the
principle of divorce of church and
state and our free school system.

The MENACE stands for liberal
democracy and Is unalterably opposed
to all despotisms or autocracies with
in or without our nation that oppose
popular sovereignty, freedom of
speech, press and assembly, absolute
divorce Of church and state and popu-
lar non-sectarian education.

Every private military organization
In the land should be made to in
stantly disband or merge into the reg
ular military forces of the nation.
Every private armory in the land
should be condemned and taken over
by the government or closed. There
is no place In a free republic for
armories and military organizations
that are not a part Of the military
organization of state and nation.

In New Orleans a young woman BY
the name of Alice Walker, but re-
Gently escaped from the House Of
Good Shepherd slave pen, was re-
arrested and upon being ordered back
to the H. o. G. S. informed the court
that she would rather die before re-
entering the institution. Whereupon
the coroner, one O'Hara (significant
name) will inquire into her sanity. In
this case it would seem that the as
tute (?) coroner is the logical candi-
date for the asylum instead Of the
unlucky victim Of the H. o. G. S.

If the state is to be made "safe for
democracy" must not the state forbid
private arsenals being raised in it's
cities, and can the state view with in
difference such REASONABLE threats by
those high in the authority of for
eign sovereign such as was made by
Archbishop Quigley before the German
Roman Catholic Central Verein? II
will be remembered that this leading
mouthpiece of the Roman hierarchy
threatened that if the United States
government-that is the sovereign
people-decreed to enforce their
wishes in accordance with the meth
DDS Of democracy, just as did sover-
eign voters of France and Portugal,
the subjects of the pope would resort
10 force in defiance of the supreme
source Of governmental power in
democracy. Surely if the state is to
be made safe for democracy, enemies
of fundamental democracy within its
borders who represent the foreign
sovereignty must be resisted

The Boston Pilot, issue for April
7, makes a labored effort to revive the
old Salem witchcraft tales of long
ago. This with the recent ridiculous
papal witchcraft mob in Detroit,
Mich, and the tales of the New Jer-

from the haunted house, is very anus
ing.
