The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1918-04-13

The difference between a Romanist
and free man is that q free man is
always free, In life, to choose the
things he shall do and be responsible
to no man, and in death, responsible
only to God. The Romanist, in life,
is never free to pursue his own
course but must obey his priest and
the canon law Of Rom6 under pain
of accommodation and all that it
means, and in death, he is still the
bond servant Of the pope and his
priests. The horrors Of purgatory
hold him in bondage, his rela-
tives ARRANGE" for sufficient say
ings of mass to pass him from the
priest-controlled purgatory to the
side of the Maker the priest claims
to representa- bondage that reaches
from the cradle past the confines Of
the tomb.

DIED ~ A TRAITcm
ArchbiSher Oliver plunkstt waa
put 10 death on the charge Of treason
In 1881, He was born In 1929 In
County Meath, Ireland.
Pope Clement TX appointed him to
the archbishoprio Of Armagh and
primacy Of Ireland In 1859. In con-
nection with the repressive measures
Of the English against Roman Cath
olics, following the adoption Of the
test act, Plunkett In 1878 was i'm
prisoned.
Accused Of completely In the Irish
branch of the "POpish plot" he was
taken to London and In 1851 tried
on the charge of having conspired to
bring a French army to Ireland. Ac-
counts of the trial by English his.
torians say that the evidence against
him was flimsy, but he was convicted
and was hanged, drawn and quar-
tered.
HIS EXECUTION
"The circumstances Of the execu
tion of Archbishop Plunkett were
marked with the most revolving cruel
i ty and brutality" says Cardinal
Moran.
ONE OF A LINE OF MARTYRS
Archbishop Plunkett was the great
uncle Of the present Count Plunkett
leader of the Sim Feiners, whose
two sons were executed In Dublin In
1919. The family has given q long
line Of devoted bishops and abbotG
to the church In Ireland. The fam
lily residence Is at Oldcastle In the
County Meath. The martyred pri
mate Of all Ireland was a brilliant
student Of the Irish College In Rome
The records say of him,
}, HE was model Of gentleness, In
|, tegrity and piety." He was conse
Grated Bishop at Ghent, Belgium, Il
1859, and appointed by the Propa
ganda, Primate Of all Ireland OF
/ November 80 Of that year. He &C
: cepted the mission cheerfully, crossed
to Ireland, and as result went t
his death at the hands Of the Englisl

WILLIE HOPPE MUST
LOOK TO HIS CROWN
Billiard Champ Has Dangerous Rivals
In Cochran and Schaefer

Another year and Willie Hoppe
may be forced to give up his billiard
crown to either Welker Cochran or
Young Jake Schaefer, Billiard follow
ers would not favor a championship
match just now, for a defeat for
either of the youngsters would have a
mean effect on their future chances.
But another year may give the situa-
ton an entirely different complexion.
Both Cochran and Schaefer in their
match in New York demonstrated that
they were ceritable topnotchers. On
several occasions each averaged better
than 40, and Schaefer, who proved the
winner, had a grand average of 80.
1t is limited that Hoppe could not
do as well at the present time. On
his tour with Charlie Peterson, Hoppe
of late has been beaten rather too
often. On his travels the champion
has not been able to take the exer-
cises which keep him in condition
while he is at home The sameness
Of routine and the fatigue of travel
no debit have hurt Hopes game.
Another year and maybe Schaefer
will mount the throne. What more

Lieut.. Eddie Rickenbacher, victor in
an air duel over the German lines in
France, resigned as chauffeur at the
wheel of General Pershing's automo-
bile because he wanted more speed,
according to his friends here. He OBJ
tanned a commission in the aviation
service within three months from the
time he left America. for he was TN
happy unless he could move faster
than 70 miles an hour, and General
Pershing's operations did not require
that his automobile travel so swiftly.

He is a better player than 1 had be-

at the ball and quite frequently are
in no position TO hit a certain kind
of a ball. On the contrary. l find
that he always keeps his bat close

making his swing count there is no
room for criticism. He is what I call
a wicked hitter and should fit in fine
