A STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS IN
OUR SOUTHERN REPUBLIC IN
REPLY TO REV. Mr.. ROBERTSON.

When | prepared and sent to "The
Catholic Bulletin" report of the
proceedings had at a recent meeting of
the Minnesota Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution, the report
printed in your issue of January 20,
1917, | used the nom de plume, "Vin-
deX.' | now accept full responsibility
for the report and declare the same to
be strictly accurate. | am a member
OF the Society, the meeting of which
described, and heard all of the ad-
dresses delivered upon that occasion.
My intention was not that the report
should be particularly characterized as
a reply to Rev. Mr. Robertson but
intended it for the information of my
co-religionists regarding the manner in
which the enemies of the True Faith
seek every possible opportunity to
malign adherents of the Catholic
Church and to misrepresent in every
possible form of defamation and as
persion the people of Catholic coun-
tries. | intended the article, also, to
convey information which might be
used to refute attacks similar to that
which, unfortunately, was intruded
upon the reunion which l have men
toned.
| find in the Catholic Bulletin" of
last week, letter signed by Rev.
ID. T. Robertson, containing comments
upon my article printed during the
previous week. / am gratifed to OBJ
serve in what Mr.. Robertson says that
he is not particularly proud of his at
tack upon the Catholic religion In
deed, he says, referring to his address
at the meeting of the Society of the
Sons Of the Revolution, Il made no at
tack upon the Catholic Church" In
the speech which I reported he said,
Mexico has no real religion" This is
not only my assertion but is in accord
with the recollection of many other
persons then present and was the in
ference drawn by the reporter of the
Pioneer Press newspaper who con-
tributed to that valuable journal re-
port of the proceedings which appear
ed on the ninth CO. day of January
AID in the course of it were these
words attributed to Mr.. Robertson,
"The basis of all good government is
religion, and Mexico is absolutely with
out religion"

Mexicans are Religious.

In his recent article, Mr. Robertson
says that, Mexico has a population Of
more than fifteen million people and of
the total, 14,500,000 are Roman Cath
olics.' He, also, says that, THE Mex
ican is the most religious being that
he ever saw And, yet, he has the
temerity to assert that he made no
attack upon the Catholic Church! His
method Of reasoning is remarkable be-
cause he says that to declare the re-
ligion Of a nation to be no religion and
that the greatest necessity of the ma
tion is to possess "a pure and unde-
filed religion is not an attack upon
the Church which is the teacher and
supreme director of religion among the
people of the nation. In this connec-
ton, we beg to quote the words of
Oliver Wendell Holmes,
END of the wonderful one-hoss shay,
. Logic is logic that's all | say"
l positively assert that Mr.. Robert
son at no time in the course of the
speech which l reviewed stated, THAT
the clergy of the Catholic Church of
the United States should join with
other Christian denominations in go
ing into Old Mexico and carrying to
them a pure and undefled religion. "
He did indulge in general and volum
inous reflection upon Venustiano Car
rama and his followers but did not lay
any particular stress upon the outrages
committed by them against religion
and religious institutions. The speech
which | reported constitutes an effort
which Edmund Burke declared to be
futile. In his famous speech, "On Con
ciliation with America delivered or
the 22nd day of March, 1775, in the
British House of Commons, Mr.. Burke
declared: Il do not know the method
of drawing an indictment against {
whole people. | cannot insult and rid
icule the feelings of millions of my
myself in accord with Edmund Burke
Lest the more recent remarks of Mr.
Robertson should carry conviction t.
any person, | beg leave to say that
am assured by the very highest author
ity that the statements made by him il
his speech of January 8th to the effec
that more than one-half of the Mex
can people are of illegitimate brit
and that over one-half of the peopl
live together as man and wife withou
any marriage ceremony whatever, ar

from what | have read in books an
other printed publications, and who'll

BOWLING TOURNAMENT
SIX MADISON MEN WILL GO TO
ABERDEEN TOURNAMENT
NEXT SATURDAY.

1t is now practically assured that
enough money will be raised to pay
the entrance fee of six Madison men
in the Tri-State Bowling tournament,
which opens at Aberdeen tomorrow
night. The sum of S42 has been do
mated so far. and as the total entry
fee is $54, there remains but S12 to
raise, which should be easily done, as
several of the business men have not
been waited upon as yet by the men
circulating the subscription paper.
Reports from Aberdeen state that
the tournament will be the largest in
the history of the association, Aber-
deem alone entering twenty fiye-men
teams. The Sioux Falls Commercial
club is sending forty men and there
will be about six teams from Mitchell
and one from several of the smaller
cities of the eastern part of the state.
Lead will also send eight men and
there will probably be a few teams
from outside the state.
The Madison boys wish TO thank
the merchants and citizens who have
contributed to this fund and also
those who may contribute before the
boys leave for Aberdeen, and they
assure Madison citizens that they
will make the best showing possible
on the alleys at Aberdeen.
