rl HE MENACE must again ask its
l$I friends to cooperate in meet
lN ing the attack made upon this
| M.I paper by papists or their tools
' in the postal service. 1t is Of
the utmost importance that all sub
scribers, who do not receive their pa
per regularly and properly, should
promptly notify this Office. If you do
not get your paper regularly, let US
know it. If some papist clerk or car
rier makes away with your paper, or
sends us false statement concerning
your address, there is no remedy un-
less you make the complaint that in
forms us and gives US the opportun-
ity to right the wrong.
To give our readers an idea of
what we have to contend with, we are
publishing some correspondence with
a postmaster which is a confession as
well as an excuse on his part; and
teaches two lessons--first, that papists
and pro-papists are unfit to hold pub
lie Office or serve in positions of such
trust and responsibility; and second,
that until the subjects and dupes Of
popery have been removed from such
places, all patriots must be as patient
as possible with their papers and pub.
fishers.
An Interesting Case
On Feb. II, 1917, the postoffice at
Nashville, Tenn, issued a card, ad-
dressed to THE MENACE, which stated
that the said postofflce was unable to
deliver this paper to w. R. Carroll
1419 Curt st., Nashville, because the
subscriber had removed and left nc
address"
When a publisher receives such 8
communication from the sworn off
cials and employees of the postal sys
TEN, he is bound to accept and ac
upon it as though it were issued il
good faith. THE MENACE did so il
this instance, and removed Mr.. Car
rolls name from its mailing list OF
Feb. "a, 1917.
This act separated the paper ant
subscriber for the time, and woulC
have separated them permanently ha,
Mr.. Carroll not taken the trouble Il
enquire concerning the failure of hi
papers to reach him. On March q
he wrote THE MENACE from his cor
rect and continuous address at 141
Curt St., stating that he had not re
ceived his paper for five weeks, an
asking us to investigate.
The lying card from the Nashvill
postoffice told the story, and reveale
the cause of the trouble; and on Apr
3rd the following letters were sent :

~ N article by Monsignor Kel

Alfl Extension Magazine and

E1 N article by Monsignor Kel
IIAB ley which appeared in the
ltI1l Extension Magazine and
I,SS was reproduced in the
S Evening Mail IN. W on
April 9th, carrying predatory re-
marks by Archbishop Ireland would,
were it possible for us to reprint it
in full, give our discriminating read
ers much food for profitable reflection.
The article affords a splendid illustra-
tion of the use to which Jesuitical
word-wizardry may be put, but in ad-
dition to this it shows the inconsist-
ency of the hierarchy.
Monsignor Kelley launches into the
subject with a description of the up
per, lower and middle classes that
comprise the Mexican population with
the explanation that the middle class
is of mixed Indian and white blood
with some purely Indian blooded, and
some purely white blooded persons
also comprising it. Says Mr.. Kelley
of portion of the middle class, upon
whom he would lay the blame for
Mexico's ills:
Attacks Masonry
In reality these are either members Of the
Latinized Masonic lodges. or people who fol-
low the lead Of such lodges. Some of them
are Socialists, always Of the bittereSt kind; (;
some are 0ut-and-out anarchists. They make
up in noise what they lack in numbers. They
have at different times, through agitation
among the lowest class, imposed themselves
and their opinions upon the entire middle
class. Of whom they form . very small pro-
portion.
The above Is an excellent descrip-
tion of the methods used by Rome
and may either be the fruit of the
authors imagination or the fruit of
four hundred years of Romish ex-
amples and training finding express
sion in Latinized Masonry. The
Latinized Masonic Lodges however
are opposed to papal rule, and it is
not strange that Rome resorts to
calumny against them. Expression
of Rome's hatred of democracy is in
dulged in by the monsignor as fol-
lows:
Government Is always In the hands Of
small political section Of the middle class, ab
bOiutely unntted I0T hoioing power, bince III
education consists of half-formed theories
BASED CHIEFLY ON THE IDEALS OF THE
FRENCH REVOLUTION.
Because these persons are promot-
ing the democracy-fostering ideals o1
the French revolutionists which are Of
necessity decidedly anti-papal and be,
cause they have been able to hole
their position a great portion of the
time during the last few years they
come in for their full share of Rom
ish abuse. An assertion trife more
explicit than the above is set forth
as follows:
Mexico Afraid of Church

Here he refers to the Catholic
church holding the small minority in
fear, yet he says the church does not
exercise the prerogative with which
he accredits it. Inasmuch as it is a
part of the papal program at the

such an extent that they have been
doing and saying and printing some
things that are no svecial credit TO
themselves or the state. Buster. in
1913 killed a man named Brown. Bus
ter was a young man and Brown a
man well up in years. The trouble
arose over a woman. Buster was
tried and convicted in Lemhi county
and sent to the penitentiary where he
served about two years. In the mean
time his attorneys appealed the case
to the supreme court and it was re-
rnanded for a new trial on the grounds
that the evidence submitted at the tri-
al was not sufficient to convict. II
appears there was great prejudice in
Lemhi county against Buster and on
that ground a change Of venue was
taken to Lincoln county. In the trial
here last week the prosecution placed
its witnesses on the stand and their
testimony was so favorable to the de-
fendant that the defense rested its
case on the states testimony and did
not place a single witness on the
stand The jury brought in the above
verdict on the presentation shown by
the prosecution alone.
The criticism of the jury and Of the
people of Lincoln county by the citi-
zens of Lemhi, over the verdict shows
plainly the justice in the demand for
a change of venue. The citizens of
Lemhi say Buster is a bad citizen and
a very undesirable citizen, all of
which may be true, but still not justi-
fy his conviction on a murder charge.
From the decision of the supreme
court in the case and the verdict Of
the Lincoln county jury it would seem
that in the first trial Lemhi citizens
tried him on one charge and brought
in evidence of another character not
connected with the charge on which
he was convicted. The two witnesses
Of the state brought to Shoshone tes-
titled that Brown began the attack
on Buster. striking and beating him
with a cane Buster protested and
tried to disuade Brown from the at
tack and it was only after Brown
had beaten Buster with a cane until
the cane was broken that Buster shot. |

ience submitted TO the Lincoln coun- (
