T EST the excitement of the
ILl times diverts the attention of.
HRJ or the approaching hot season
1 inficts lassitude upon, the
men and women devoted to the
patriotic propaganda in this country,
the Free Press Defense League de-
sires to take this opportunity to again
impress upon your minds the fact that
in unity there is strength, and from
cooperative work there is bound to
come success.
With US here at the helm the sole
aim and thought of our lives from day
to day is that Of making it possible
for the League to become permanent
fixture, built upon rock, endowed
with the strength of Gibraltar, clean
to the core and equipped with both
men and finances to meet any adver-
sary or extend the protecting hand to
any man or movement in sympathy
with our cause upon whose head may
fall the heavy hand of Romish per-
secution.
Standing, as 1t does, the friend Of
every other patriotic organization un-
der the shining sun, and the enemy
of none whose loyalty is to God, home
and our native land, the Free Press
Defense League Is peculiarly equipped
for a mighty work in the rapidly re-
volving cycle of world affairs,
We confidently believe that II the
patriots Of this nation could be made
to understand fully the plans Of the
men behind this organization, and
were thoroughly convinced of the
seriousness Of their intentions, the

Mundelein Again
Who was It that started the endow-

The archbishop of Chicago is the

all other societies affiliated with the

ROME AND CHICACOS GREAT POLITICAL SCANDAL
Campaign of Pre-
a Constitutional Ideals Law

tlcians to five Protestants voted
money to the Roman Catholic Indus
trial School for Girls from public
funds for more than twelve months
after the court in denying demurrer,
had thereby sustained the position Of
those pushing the injunction proceed
ure against the further payment of
public funds to this institution; a
practice, which since its commence
ment had been inylirect contravention
of the Illinois constitution. No single
instance of Romish trickery Is more
typical of Rome's ramihcations in
every department of the government
than is the official subserviency in
dicated in the avoidance of lawful
procedure after the fling Of the In
junction by which Rome continued to
collect funds that according to law
should never have been paid.
Getting the Money
After the county board had issued
the warrants, tools Of the Romish sys-
tenn avoided the watchful eye Of those
who respect the spirit and the letter
of the law by having the warrants de-
livered direct from the treasurer's
office to an attorney, thus avoiding a
checking of the transactions by the
comptroller's Office. The attorney as
the go-between delivered the warrants
to the representative of the Roman
Catholic institution benefited, who in
turn cashed them at bank, the presi-
dent of which is also president of the
Romish school.
Who engineered the deal? Bath
House John? Michael Kenna? Sui.
livan? Maclay Hoyne? Or any one
of the hundreds of petty poll.
ticians through which Rome works
No! Chicago's Roman Catholic
archbishop put up sir hundred
thousand dollars security to make tht
UiolGtion safe for the tools rho iVer,
in a position to do his bidding. Wha'
parallel is there in the whole history
of corrupt practice that will vie will
this fragrant violation of lawful Gus
tom and contempt for constitutional
law.
Who was 1t that took it upon him
self to wall over the orphans and thu
work on the sympathies of an ODE

bribed when in Office to vote in con-
formity with the interests of privilege.
During the New York Legislative COM
mittee's investigation of allegations
against the Erie Railroad, Jay Gould
replied to one question as follows:
f.! do not know how much l paid toward
helping friendly men. We had four states
TO look after. and We had to salt eur politics
to circumstances. In 9 DsnceIatie district !

was doubtfuli bat, In every district and at
oil times have always been an Erie man.
Shift the scenes, the circumstances
and the investigation to an official in
quiry into the Roman Catholic Polit-
ical Machines activities today and the
same answer would truly depict the
position of bishops, archbishops, and
cardinals throughout the nation.
Rome has interests to serve and those
interests advance in proportion to
papal success in politics; consequent
ly Rome cares not for the party affilia-
tions of any candidate, it is his vote
she wants when he attains that posi-
tion of power wherein, as a law
maker, he can assist in the passing of
measures calculated to advance the
papacy's program.
Rome's Legislative Activity
In proof Of the assertion that
Rome is in politics in Chicago; that
she is in politics to gain the election
of politicians who will favor her in
the legislature, we need 60 no further
than the instance cited in MENACE
No. 307, showing that law was
passed as far back as 1869, by virtue
of which one of the corporate insti-
tutions of this so-called church has
since received one-half of all the fines
levied on fallen women and all per-
sons connected with houses of i'll
fame. Rome never secured the pas
sage of such a law by accident.
Neither was such law passed at
the demand of Protestants. Such
deals are engineered by bishops, arch.
bishops and cardinals.
Nor does Rome stop with the elec.
ton of pliable legislators and hei
close system Of following up the ad
vantage gained. She must have will
ing servants in every department oi
the government for exigencies may
arise that will demand action entirely
foreign to the lawful and customary
course of procedure. In such an even
the man who will obey is the ma,
who is needed. No more typical illus
tration Of Rome's disregard for law
no more concrete example Of her de
termination to procure state fund
can be found than was shown il

The term "Dixie's Land" originated
in New York in the early part OF the
past century. 1t is said TO have come
into general use when Texas Joined
the Union, and the negroes sang Of 1t
as Dixie"
In the popular mythology OF New
York city Dixie was the negroes para
disc on earth in times when slavery
and the slave trade were flourishing in
that quarter. Dixie owned tract Of
land on Manhattan Island. and also
large number Of slaves. and his slaves
increased faster than his land, an emf.
grafton ensued and naturally negroes
who left 1t for distant parts looked to
1t as place Of unalloyed happiness
and 1t was the 'old Virginny" Of the
negroes Of that day; hence Dixie be-
came synonymous with an ideal local
ity combining ineffable happiness and
every imaginable requisite Of earthly
