FINDING THE CAUSE.

The knights of Columbus, the So
clety which is endeavoring to serve
as the political arm of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy, has contributed
$4,000 to Investigate the cause of
religious intolerance" as it is mani
Testing itself in Ame3ican politics.
II the Knights of Columbus desire
to find the cause of religious bigotry
in politics, Yet them inquire into
their own activities and the political
activities of the American Federation
of Catholic societies.
1t is in their cheming and gum
shOeing to get office by trading on
their affiliation with the Catholic
church, their open hatred of and hos
tility to public schools and the con-
stltutlonal guarantees of freedom of
speech and the press, as indicated
in their repeated resolutions and APP
peals to congress to suppress news
papers and journals which do not
draw their inspiration from Rome.
They have revealed the fact from
one end Of the country to the other
that they are an organized secret
political body, reactionary in spirit
and a menace to the privileges,
rights and liberties which are the
fruit Of the Reformation and the
French and American revolutions.
The politicians who have been
using the Knights Of Columbus have
benefited more than the church from
the soc1ety's political activities.
The Knights of Columbus may find
in its own secret Vaccinations the
cause Of the anti-Catholic protest in
American politics which is sWeening
down candidates known to be af-
&1liated with the church's secret po-
litical societies, in every State and

e1dE TEN,
Wall Street Had
Better Look Out
Says Uncle Lark
Well Known Retired Capitalist
Says He Now Feels Younger
Than His Son-in-laws, and is
Ready to Start Life All Over
Again.
(From Thomaston, Ca, Times. }

(From Thomaston, Ca, Times.)
Uncle Lark Farley says, 81 can
personally recommend Tanlac to any
body" Both he and Mrs. Farley
have gained several pounds and their
health generally is improved.
Uncle Lark needs no Introduction
in this county, but as the Times has
some few readers abroad We'll tell
them who he is. Away back in the
EOS, we think it was, poor country
boy, who was too delicate to work
on his fathers farm, opened up lit
tie country store which he operated
successfully for thirty-f1ve years, los
ing only $35 in bad accounts during
his entire business career. Finally
his health became SO bad that he had
to give up his business. Then he
came to Thomaston and soon
afterwards organized the Bank of
Thomaston, of which he has been the
Financial BaC-.er ever since.
Two months ago, Uncle Lark and
his wife commenced taking Tanlac
and now he says that his stomach is
in the very best condition and his
knees have limbered up and pain him
very little. He is confident that an
other months treatment of Tanlac
will entirely restore his health which
he lost in childhood, and if he does,
believe me, Wall Street had better
look out for a man who can make
the fortune Uncle Lark has with his
health, what will he do as a well
man? Uncle Lark is known as a
Retired Capitalist, but, he says he is
now a younger man than either of his
numerous SOn-in-laws and is now
ready to start life all over again.
Tanlac is sold by one regular es-
tablished agency in every town.

solve offenders from its penalties.
The time will come when to be
known to be a member of the
knights of Columbus or any of the
AFFILIATED secret political societies
which the Roman Catholic hierarchy
has set up in the United States to
serve it's temporal uses, will be a
bar, instead Of an aid, to public pre-
ferment. The spirit of free discus
sion, the inherent hatred of the in
QUESTION and all that smacks of it's
intolerance, is too firmly implanted
in the great body of the American
people to permit any conspiracy in
spired by alien ecclesiastics against
their liberties to go unchallenged
and unrebuked.
The money which the nights of
Columbus purpose to spend on in
vestigating religious bigotry in poll
tics is needless expenditure. They
can find the cause of the nearest
looking glass.-Milwaukee Leader.

JESUITS AND JEW CAPITAL
WORKING FOR A CERTAIN
PURPOSE

The Jesuits and Jews are bent upon
building up system of government
within our national borders, which
can proclaim itself Independent of
the original laws of our Republic:
and for this reason they concentrate
their capital in great corporations
which control theatres, motion pict-
ures and other 'amusdments," as
we'll as products entering into the
"necessaries of life" such as food
and clothing; and we, poor, helpless
fools, throw our money into these
nets of a foreign and reasonable
conspiracy against our Liberties.
But few of our "good-natured"
citizens think of this stealthy assault
upo nour blood bought heritage;
while many of them are used as tools
in the conspiracy.
The upshot of the matter will be
that we will be compelled, in self
defense, to drive the Jesuits and
Jews out of the country, except the
few that we will succeed in convert
ing to our standards.-The Anti
Clecical Whip Lancaster, PENN

THEY PLANNED TO SHOOT
POISON DARTS AT premier
Lloyd George and Arthur Henderson
Had Narrow Escape Recently.

Derby, England.-The Guild hall
was crowded when Attorney General
Sir Frederick E. Smith opened the
case against the four persons accus-
ed of conspiracy to murder Premier
David Lloyd George and Arthur Hen
derson, member of the war council
The accused are Mrs. Alice Wheel
don, her two daughters, Miss Ann
Wheeldon, and Mrs. Alfred George
Mason, and Mrs. Mason's husband.
A sensation was created when At
torney General Smith alleged it had
been intended to murder the premier
with poisoned darts to be shot at
him while he was playing golf
Both the premier and Mr.. Hender-
son were to be killed, he added, by
means of poison handed by Mrs.
Wheeldon to an agent, employed by
the military authorities, who had in
gratiated himself into her favor. The
poison comprised hydro-chloride, stry-
chime and an American Indian poi
son called curero, said to be used
in poisoning arrows.
Asked as to the best way of poi
soning the premier, Mrs. Wheeldon
according to the attorney general
said the suffragettes had spent $500
in attempts to poison Lloyd George
and that an attempt also had been
made on Reginald McKenna, former
chancellor of the exchequer.
