Mr. Galatians Wulf adopts a method
which has become popular and effective with
American papists: he quotes Protestants who
have spoken In praise of Popery.
Next to quoting Macaulay, the American
Catholics dote on quotations from sapient
American clergymen.
Macaulay wrote a famous Essay which
makes, in favor of Romanism. the statements.
a. that its organization is ''the very master
piece of human wisdom, perfection of hu-
man art and craft and (2) that the Papacy
has existed longer than any of the European
dynasties, and may last until that much

his stand Cor seat) on broken arch of Lon
don Bridge to kodak the ruils of St. Pauls.
The enraptured Romanists never fail to
quote Macaulay, that far. They stop, right
there.
Yet, Macauay's Essay is lengthy pro-
duction covering 81 closely printed pages;
and in those 81 pages from which Catholics
never quote, he tells how Romanism has
blghted those countries which Nature most
lavishly favored, while Professionalism has

7 TNDER the above heading P. II. Callahan,
- Chairman of the knights of Columbus
Committee on religious prejudice, addresses
the public, using, instead of his own name,
that of his private secretary, one Robert G.
Wulf
1t was disingenuous to use Wulf's name,
because the public could not know that Wulf
is Galatians hired man; and the public was
therefore left under the false impression, that
Wulf is disinterested patriot, not connected
with the $4,000 which the X. of G. put in
Galatians control to finance just such pamph-
lets as Wulf's.
In his Preface, Mr.. Callahan asks, care you
a Patriot?" -
I beg to remind him that his Pope does not
even claim to be patriot; that the Pope is
not 'citizen' of any country; that the Pope
is a complete government of his own, and that
every good Catholic is a subject of the Pope,
and therefore cannot be "a patriot"
Mr. Callahan processes that his object in
publishing the booklet is, to let you know
"the truth about the biggest religious organi-
zation in the world"
Galatians NVulf means the Roman church,
of course, and he makes two serious mistakes,
in that single sentence.

not score, however, as Kepley and

Seeley started off in the first with
vengeance anl it did not look any

In the second inning, after S.
Thompson and D. Thompson had
struck out, Hardcastle was fortunate
to profit by Kepley's error of high
fly. Hardcastle stole second and
third because Pfeiffer made very
POOR throws. G. Thompson could do
nothing more than roll one down to
Smith, making the third out. That
ended the flirtations Of the Sseleyites
Tor nary man got farther than first
case after the second inning.
An instance of Thompson's pitch
ing is contained in a perusal of the
tux score. The Seeley outfield had
only one put out. Seeley hammered
four flies to the outfield, all going
TO Kepley's territory.
Killilay umpired the balls and
strikes the first half of the game

WHO IS v H0?

QUESTION
c C,mpels Attention From Those in
Every Walk of EndeavOr.

Ever since the world began-from
the time prehistoric man sought his
breakfast with stone inlaid club,
and great long-legged amphibious ami
mails of the anthropobhagous species
stalked or waded majestically by his
cave door, to this advanced and en-
heightened age, when all that is neces-
sary to satiate our most delicate de-
sires regarding breakfast is to have
the price, and though the long-leggec
animals stalk not, there yet remains
the question. A question so burning,
so pertinent and important that the
combined assiduous, persevering eff
fort of all the ages has failed to re-
cord the query as conclusively set
tied.
The question has arisen in times of
peace and in times of strife, in poll
tics and commercialism, in the world
Of sport, and, yes, even in love, the
question compels attention.
At last the long finger of Fate
points in our direction; the spotlight
is centered and the stage setting is
complete. The question is asked:
"Who Is Who in Ell Centro?" A re-
ward of $5O-fifty of Uncle Sans
;2uvenirs-is to be paid for a correct
answer.
There are several ways of finding
"Who Is Who in Ell Centro?" A few
people know, but are bound yet to
secrecy. However, tactful question
here or there might solve the prob
lem. A clue: admitted that counting
the hairs on the human head is, to
say the least, tedious task. A sug-
cestion: If you number among your
friends or acquaintances one person
r.ron whose head there yet remains
10000 hairs, but not more, get into
close and confidential conversation
with that person. Fifty dollars re-
ward. Find "Who Is Who?"
