That Colonization Scheme
Lake City, Fla, Free Press.

Lake City, Fla, Free Press.
Several of our readers have asked
our opinion of the colonization scheme
that the Catholic church is said to
have ready for the Southern states.
Our answer is that It Is eminently
Characteristic of Romanism, and al
most as characteristic Of Protestant
ism to awaken to the danger Of such
q scheme after It Is too late for an
awakening to accomplish anything.
The peculiar sentiment Is expressed
by some Of our friends that this is an
improper time for the Romish hier-
archy to undertake such things, while
the war has everything torn up.
Who has ever heard Of Romanisna

The pops's bunch have always
struck when their victim was most
helpless and unaware: that's history.
The custom of holding large tracts
Of southern land In one body Is largely
responsible for this movement. Dur.
ing the last few years the owners Of
such tracts have had every encourage
ment and opportunity to dispose Of
these lands In small areas to men OF
moderate means, but they would not

said was written by Secretary Tus
multy to Arthur Brisbane, whose
purchase of the Washington Times
with loans from brewers Is under In
vestigation, requesting Mr.. Brisbane
to send copies Of the Hearst Chicago
newspaper, so that Mr.. Tumulty
might follow Mr.. Brisbane's Demo-
cratic fight in Chicago.
The letter follows:
MY Dear Brisbane: When you were
at the White House offices today I
forgot to ask you TO send me the
Chicago Herald and Examiner regu-
larly to my offices here. ! am sure
you are going to make the same good
Democratic fight in Chicago that
you have been making in your paper
in Washington and | want to see Just
how you do it. Sincerely yours,
]. P. Tumulty,
Secretary to the President.
Senator New remarked that this
letter was written shortly after
"politics had been officially adjourn
ed" and expressed the hope that the
letter would be referred to the Sem
ate committee investigating tho
charge brewers had formed a fund
with which to purchase a newspaper
mot antagonistic either to beer or
Germany"
Let us hope if Tumulty's inter-
est is conclusively shown to be as
indicated in this letter that Presi-
dent Wilson will lose no time in
making room for a new secretary.
Brisbane is beyond the stage where
white-wash will do him any good.
He stands condemned and discredit-
ed before the American people. II
Fumulty is as guilty as the Kansas
City Star article seems to indicate
he, too, should be given every facility
for early membership in the Down

The United States Senate helps
drag to light the corrupt alliance OF
powerful German liquor interests
with popery to control the daily

Senator Jones Of Washington enabl-

Arthur Brisbane and The Washing

later. Before quoting the resolu'
ton and giving the substance Of the

as a result of it's adoption, a few
recent facts of highest significance
should be stated.
Several months ago, Arthur Bris
bane, widely known as editorla
writer for the Hearst publications
bought The Washington Times, al
afternoon daily paper at the nation

Sailing "lJnder Papal Flag"

dispatch appearing in The Washing

;ng that the Vatican did not believe

statement:
"Recent unconfirmed reports from
Spain declared the former empress

UNDER THE PAPAL FLAG"
why under the papal flag? That
phrase is extremely significant. In
connection with 1t, let the public
remember that on July 16, last year,
Archbishop Cerretti, returning to
Rome from Australia to become as
sistant papal secretary Of state,
was directed by the Pope on advice
from the Kaiser to sail across the
Atlantic on a vessel flying only
5the papal flag to avoid danger Of
German submarines, which he did in
safety.
why does the flag Of the Pope &C
effectually protect those who sail
under it from murder by the sub.
marines of the Kaiser? Broadly
speaking, what flags does the Kaiser
respect and spare? No neutral flag
affords any protection from his under
sea pirates. With indiscriminate law
lessness he sinks vessels under tht
flag Of any neutral nation. His OBJ
stinate refusal to spare neutral flag
compelled the United States to taxi
up arms against him.
Since he spares no neutral flag
but does spare the flag Of the Pope
It is manifest that he does not regarc
the Pope as a neutral power. Blu
what flags does he respect7 Absol
utely none bat those of his allies
Since he protects the papal flag AM
agrees in advance to do 80, 1t follow
that the Pope is his ally. Only tn,
flags of Germany herself and Of Aust
ria, Turkey, Bulgaria and the vati
can are immune from his murderou
attacks. Those are the flags Of hi
allies. All others belong to his enc
mics or to neutrals.
