Look about on every hand in Amer

chial schools Of the Romanist organ
ization. They in no way compare
with the children educated In the pub
lie schools. The priests and prelates
know this, and they must IL possible

the people will be brought down to the
standard established by the parochial

Organized Effort Demanded
Friends Of Amsrioon freedom II ps

Is necessary.
Without fear we must enter the
lists and destroy the infamous COM
bination Of Romanists and pro-
Romanists who would discredit and
destroy our schools.
The Free Press Defense League and
THE MENACE are doing and win ccn>
tinue to do all that is humanity pos-
sible to arouse the people and urgai
them to the ballot box in defense OF
the peoples constitutional rights. We
ask no commendation for our work,
but we do ask and we have the right
to insist that those who believe In,
liberty shall aid US in financial way,
to make the fight successful.
Those Who VIII, Are Called
Our One Million Dollar Endow-
ment and Sustaining Fund CAM
paign is fairly started. Patriotic
men and women are sending us
their pledges by every mail. Next
week we will begin the publication OF
bulletins showing the number OF
pledges and the amount pledged.
These bulletins win be continued each
week until the end Of the campaign
which is midnight of July 4th.
Each patriot that can afford to do
so is asked to pledge the payment Of
a sum equal to one dollar per month
for the year 1917, or twelve dollars in
all. Some can pay much more than
this and we hope they will do so. The
terms and conditions of payment as
shown in the blank form below are
SO favorable that almost every pa
triot can afford to make the pledge.
Some of our friends will undoubt-
edly be compelled to make sacrifice in
order to help in providing the endow.
ment fund we are asking for. But
remember friends what great sacri-
fee our forefathers made to procure
for US the liberties which Rome now
seeks to destroy.
We ask you to enlist in the work Of
The New Reformation and help to
make it the great success that It
should and must be.

FG9 S the sun at its meridian
M height, is the glory and beauty
l.SS Of the day, 80 our great free
G public school system is the
glory and strength Of the nation.
If we were compelled to surrender
all Of our free institutions but one,
and were given the choice Of the one
we would retain, the friends of lib
erty would all say: "Keep the public
school," Every true American would.
if necessary, shed his last drop of
blood to protect and preserve it.
If this country is saved from the
complete domination Of Romanism, it
will be through the power and infu-
ence of the public schools. This be-
ing true, why then are we so cring-
ing and cowardly in the defense of
them?
No one knows SO well as the Ro-
man Catholic hierarchy that the pub
lie school must first be destroyed, be-
fore popery can be made dominant IL
the United States.
ROmanizing Public Schools
So our schools are being Roman
lied just as fast as the boycott and
terrorist tactics can be brought to
bear on Protestant fathers and moth
ers, to make them keep silent, and on
boards Of education, to compel the ap-
pointment of Roman Catholic teach
ers.
Notwithstanding the fact that our
schools are denounced in the vilest
terms by Romanists, these same
gentry are constantly seeking places
on boards of education. Once Ro-
manist lands as a member Of q school
board, he begins with all the tricks
and wiles of Ele Jesuit to hinder, re-
tard and weaken the progress of pop
ular education. He and all his Ro-
:nanist friends oppose every effort to
provide adequate school buildings and
equipment. Roman Catholic teachers
are worked into the schools 1Uher-
ever possible, and it is a notorious
fact that majority Of all Roman
Catholic public school teachers are in
competent.
Ignorance, ROme's Ally
1t is one Of the strangest things
imaginable that the American people
will allow Romanists to occupy any
position in our public schools or allow
them to have any connection what
ever with the management of them.
From the earliest history those in
authority in the Romanist organiza-
tion have by every possible means
sought to keep the people in ig-
norance. In every country on earth
where they have been dominant ig-
norance, blind stupid ignorance, has
been the lot Of the people.

ferent departments. And In further
ance Of Rome's schemes, the House OF
Good Shepherd tvds soon established
as department Of tho House Of Cor
rection, with the result that this In
stitution enjoyed increased revenue
from public funds payel to 1t for the
keep of unfortunate victims Of the
courts who, in addition to being i'm
prisoned for a long term, are COM
PEELED to slave in this papal laundry.
And again, in Pennsylvania we find
that the Troy Hill House Of the Good
Shepherd at one time enjoyed county
appropriations; that 1t has for long
while and still does enjoy state ap-
propriations; that Rome's astute
Jesuits have been able to bring about
conditions whereby the House of the
Good Shepherd is considered in the
minds of those in authority as su-
perior to the state institution. and
when the state took steps to provide
for its wards, home in keeping with
the ideals Of democratic government,
we find this alert and damning in
fluence Immediately setting the wheels
in motion to prevent the elimination
Of the plan.
The First Step
And now that the supreme court
has declared this act unconstitutional,
would it not be the part Of wisdom
for the patriots Of Allegheny county
and the whole state Of Pennsylvania
to unite in one solid phalanx and per-
sistently demand supreme court rul-
ing, if necessary, on the legislatures
action, to compel a return Of all the
monies which Rome has received in
violation Of the state constitution and
to block any further payments Of a
similar nature.
This passing Of laws by the legis-
lature in favor Of Rome; this sub
servient furthering Of hierarchial
schemes; the placing on the statute
books Of precedents which attempt to
establish a legal warrant for uncon-
stitutional actions--is the penalty
which we must pay for the lethargy,
our over-tolerant attitude and our de-
sire to accredit to all men and to all
organizations the same broad, liberal
idealism as marks the fundamental
principles Of this government. But
the papal system is as autocratic, as
despotic, as monarchial, as self-seek-
ing and as arrogant as the demo-
cratic system is broad, free, tolerant,
and Intellectually hospitable. To allow
Rome to further conduct her aggres-
sions in this republic is thing for
which each and every voter must as
sumo his due share of responsibility
Demonstrations have proved in the
three cities we have already visited,
and 80 long as your commissioner in
vestigates he expects to find addition
al proof in other cities, that this
blind, undue tolerance Of Rome's
action is doing nothing more or less
than to afford to Rome the oppor-
tunity It Is always ready to seize, OF
establishing a government within our
government, that, il allowed to pro-
ceed unchecked will finally usurp all
governmental functions and as surely
bring America under papal dom
nancy, as was ever medieval Eu-
rope.
Awake, agitate and educate. Again
we repeat, mot A DOLLAR FOR
ROME'S INSTITUTIONS. NOT A
VOTE FOR R0ME'S REPRESEN-
TATIVES."

estant democracy, through her useful
papal subjects and the use Of pro-
papal handy-men constituting the
commissioners in Pittsburgh, sue
ceeded in thwarting.
Having accomplished two set pur-
poses; namely, that Of gaining state
appropriations for her House of the
Good Shepherd, and the discrediting
of the state institution, it is not un-
natural that Rome should seek to hold
the prestige already gained. With
a quickening Of the pulses that would
do credit to any enterprise, immed-
lately upon it becoming knot0n in
1915 that the legislature had passed
a bill appropriating $250,00O for the
erection in Allegheny county Of a
Home for Girls and the selection Of a
committee for the handling of the af-
fairs as well as an appropriation Of
$4,000 a year for Its maintenance,
Rome set about to defeat the will Of
the people and began to lay her wires
to prevent the use Of the money for
any such purpose as the erection Of
a home which threatened to take from
her the free child labor she had been
to such pains to obtain.

its function as II SHOULD IN any gov
ernment Where separation Of church
and state IS A FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLE.
How Rome Succeeds
Needless to say, Rome's control Of
the political powers that be, whether
avowed papists or responsive tools, 10
accountable for the agility with which
she finally brought about conditions
prohibitive to the erection, for the
present at least, Of home which she
knew it would be practically impos-
sible for her to control. The hidden
hand of Rome is ever the power be-
hind the throne. Too few of US real
ize the enormous advantages gained
by Rome's eleventh hour deals with
politicians whom she believes will
serve her purpose well, in which she
guarantees to them just the support
they feel they need. Rome on the
other hand realizes the full worth of
every advantage, no matter how
slight, and with her Jesuits stationed
in advantageous positions, is ever in
position to take advantage of every
opportunity. 1t Is the astute Jesuit
who has been driven from nearly
every European country, that operat-
ing in America today, is making pos
sible Rome's dominance Of national
affairs and has made possible the Sc
curing Of a bulldog-like grip on our
cities.
What Investigations Reveal
In Detroit we found that one cit
izen had been dragged through the
streets one hundred and ten times In
, fifty-two weeks by O Rome-serving
police force, yet he had done nothing
more than to offer THE MENACE for
sale on the streets. In that same city
we found Rome in control Of the
school board, while in the schools
themselves 1900 Roman Catholic
teachers were employed to teach
seventy-five thousand Protestant chill
dren, as against the 800 Protestant
teachers. We found her militant or
carnations and armories in fulfill
ment Of Archbishop Quigley's threat
that if the time should ever come
when it would be necessary to defend
the faith" in America, that we would
find Rome prepared.
From unfortunate slaves who have
been rescued from the Detroit House
of the Good Shepherd facts were
cleaned that, but for their modern
setting, remind one Of the fright
full stories to be found only In the
pages of mediaeval history. In that
same city we found that the state
legislature had passed a law permit
ting the Imprisonment of children in
the Detroit House of Good Shepherd
and granting to its officials the right
to farm out its wards-and here was
demonstration number one, In the
course Of your commissioners inves-
legations, showing Rome's crafty in
fluence over law-inaking bodies.
In Illinois
In Chicago we found demonstra.
tion number two, illustrating this
same influence, when your commits
sioner came in touch with the Chicago
Law Enforcement League and made
the startling discovery that a law
passed by the state legislature OF
Illinois in 1859 provided for the pay
ment to the Chicago House of the
Good Shepherd, one-half Of all the
fines levied on fallen women or those
in any way connected with houses Of
Ill repute.
In addition to this, in 1871 the city
of Chicago was authorized to estab.
lish q House of Correction by the
state legislature and this privilege
was later augmented by a provision

Dutiful Papal Subject


The Allegheny county commission
ers, under the dominating influence of
Frank ]. Harris, an active Roman
ist who is always alert to the in
terests Of his papal sovereignty, step
by step brought about conditions cul-
minating in the supreme courts decis-
ion referred to in the first paragraph
Of this article. The commissioners
first refused to dispense the funds
provided for by the state legislature
on what authority or what advice
your commissioner does not know; but
the matter was taken into the local
court and THERE DECLARED
CONSTITUTIONAL. But the COM
missioners, still intent upon blocking
the expenditure of this money in COM
plidnce NTH the provisions made by
the state legislature, carried the case
into the supreme court where the
lower courts decision was reversed.
A Knight In Action
On the committee which was to Ioo..
after the erection of the buildings we
find that the chairman, one Joseph C.
Beck, is said to be land we have not
heard of its being denied) an ardent
knight of Columbus. Under such con-
ditions and with papal influence be-
ing exerted, is it any wonder that Al
legheny county is put to the shame Of
suffering longer the conditions which
for two years the state legislature,
having voiced the sentiments Of ma
jority Of the people, had demanded
should be corrected?
The desires of the majority, or the
rights of the minority is Of little con-
sequence to Rome when her domin-
ancy of the situation is at stake. And
despite the demands Of the people at
frequent intervals for an immediate
use of the monies provided for the
erection of the Allegheny county

Manager Phillips Of the Garrick
has scored another success with the
week end offering at the popular
photo playhouse. THE Amazons',
featuring Marguerite Clark, heads
the bill, and with plenty of action
at all stages, it makes a right ac-
ceptable offering.
A comedy, featuring Fatty"
Arbuckle, serves to add no little
pleasure to the evenings entertain

in the extreme. &s4tE
THE Amazons', dealing with the
English mother whose disappoint-
ment at the absence of a son in her
family OF three children, and who
undertakes to bring her children up
as boys, is real interesting.
Marguerite Clark's work, so familiar
to theatregoers, is of such character
in this play that her already great
following among the movie fans is
still further enhanced.

Some children. especially girls, re-
fuse breakfast because they say they
are not hungry. Give such a child a
glass Of hot water a half hour be-

she will feel the need of her food.
In any case she should be trained to
eat for strength for her work. New

he is too i'll to attend school.
All children should be literally sup

If he has been properly trained from
infancy his appetite will determine
when he has enough food.
