and if the church is able to exercise
its influence over t1Co-thirds of the
people Why does it prefer to attempt
to raise money in America for revO-
luton in which it could spill blood in |
stead of taking the bLoodless method
of warfare by executing the demo-
cratic prerogdt,Ve of majority con-
troll? In one breath Mr.. Kelley prates
about the horrors of minority rule; in
the next he says the church might
rule if she would. If he wants these
horrible evils corrected he either pre-

blood of the Protestant minority and
thus quell the possibility of any fu.
ture uprising. Which does he mean?

have we to infer that the church
might figure on bloodshed?" Let US
say first that we do not infer it. II

failed to use it when expedient. Let
us quote from a press dispatch COM

printed in the Dallas (Tex.) NeOs
for April Is, 1915, showing that the
hierarchy in America and the hier-
archy in Mexico were cooperating for
peace by force:

the "S50, 100000 peace PLAN" proposed by
the San Antonio Peace Assembly. The meet

The above and not Rome's ballot is
the thing that makes Mexico afraid
of the papal church.

In another effort to encompass the
mastery of the minds of American
: Protestants by Jesuitical suggestion
we find Mr.. Kelley remarking, after
recording Mexico's freedom from
Spanish dominancy:
Once absolutely free from Spanish domi
