Rome is Welcome to Columbus

AS far as the Roman Catholic claim to Colum-
bus is concerned they are welcome to him. In the
first place he pirate slave trader, as the best
historians now admit, and never set foot on what
is now America.
AS well claim that as the Indians or other races
discovered" It, or were in possession of it, before
the Spaniards landed, therefore these original set
tiers have "sacred claim upon it," contend that
because of the Roman pretenson Of discovery by
Columbus therefore the Genoese and Spaniards have
sacred" claim, to the exclusion Of the Irish and
other races But the fact is at all times the con-
quering race, or the people best fitted to survive
have had the acknowledged right to the country
which they possess This may not be In accordance
with the best Interpretation Of Christianity, but II
certainly Is the recognized law Of natonA The Ro-
man church sent her spaniardS here, and they made
perfect hell Of this country, though acting In the
name Of their church; and 1t is only under the In
fiuence of Protestant civilization that the United
States stands today In the forefront among the ma
lions Of the world
So far O. Cabot, Balboa, Marquette, LaSaIls
and the 0'Bren brothers are concerned, Rome Is
welcome to them also. What they did, as recorded
in history was accidental incidental and Of no con-
sequence The wandering savage no doubt dis
covered q new stream or something Of that sort
every year Of his life, but that is no reason why
we should revert to savagery or immortalize the
savage.
These are the major and important portions Of
the Roman Catholic" collection of dreams because
Of which she demands credit for perpetuating as
we'll as constructing the American republic. If her
claims are Just and borne out by history, acknowl-
edge hem but in view of the fact that history dis
proves every single Of these gall-bedecked jokes
then we should try to learn II we really owe her
any debt at all, and in the light of the records OF
those dark days when the colonies were young, and
on down to the bloody years Of the Civil War, ant
! still onward into comparatively recent history. Il
The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1918-03-30

really does seem that there Is debt we have nee
yet cancelled; several, in fact.
And, as we pursue the pages of our nations rec.
ord, learn, of for the first time Of the
things which Rome has done TO US, for which We
have repaid her, it is borne in upon our minds
that WE OWE POPERY NOTHING MORE THAN
ANNIHILATIONl NOTHING LESS THAN
EXILEl We have never yet settled with her for
the treachery of Conway and the Indian massacres
instigated by the Jesuit priests Of Massachusetts,
We still owe her rather large debt for her Inquis-
ton-nurtured Booth, Senlmes and Mrs. Surratt. She
has not yet remunerated US for the life Of Gar
field, murdered by the papal-inspirsd Guitsau. nor
has she even signihed regret over the asmsdnatloR
Of William Mckinley, shot down In his prime BY the
priest-taught Szolgosz.
She has never paid for the Aendish deeds COM
mitted; the lives taken; the men, women and chill
dren tortured; the property destroyed on st. Bar
tholomew's Night. Priest Phelan said that hs only
wished the Protestants killed Cby popish minions
of helD had been ten times the number claimed by
the Protestants themselves and he stated that the
music of the bells which was the signal to begin the
massacre twas always sweet music to his ears"
Rome has never paid for the lives Of thousands
Of Freemasons and heretics murdered In cold blood
or subjected by her to every hendish torture con-
ceivable from the thumb-screw to the rack
She has never paid for the outrages committed
by the Indians instigated by the Jesuit priests who
taught them that it was not wrong to murder and
tomahawk a hereto.
She instigated nearly every one Of the wars Of
Europe. Has she ever paid penny Of the debt
she owes for the millions Of men slaughtered by her

NOW, as soon as CnlS ACT became KNOWN III tneSe
American Colonies, the alarm grew 80 general that
delegates were hastily sent to Philadelphia, (among
them being George Washington and Thos. jefferson,
from Virginia, and Adams from Mass.) who drew
up remonstrance to the people of Great Britain"
on Oct. Oath, 1774, which in part is as follows
"Nor can we suppress our astonishment that a
British parliament should consent to establish
in that country a religion that has deLuged your
Island ,0ith blood, and dispersed impiety bigotry,
persecution, murder, and rebellion through every
part Of the world"
The editor states that Washington wrote letter
Of thanks to some New York Roman Catholics "ac-
knowledge the indispensable aid they contributed
to the newborn nation"
Now, as q matter Of fact, he DID NO SUCH
thing in the way the editor states. Here is In part,
what he wrote, IN REPLY to letter Of congratu-
ation his election to the presidency in 1789 VIZ:
"And presume that your fellow citizens will not
forget the patriotic part you took in the accom-
plishment of their Revolution, and the establish
ment Of their government And may the members
Of your society in America, animated alone by the
pure spirit of Christianity and still conducting
themselves as faithful subjects Of our free govern
mleht, enjoy every temporal and spiritual felicity
Dated March 12th $780,"
Remember this was In answer to a letter from
some SOCIETY of Roman Catholics, and, in the
absence Of the contents Of that letter. the full
ing Of Washngton's reply Is not apparent; but it
is evident that this society, whatever it was, had
not in Washington's opinion at least always acted
as loyal citizens of other countries, whatever it had
been in America.
Please observe the very wide difference between
indispensable aid" (the editors words), and "pa-
triotic part" (Washington's language).
Again the editor states that Lord Baltimore, at
the head of the Maryland Colony, was the first
one in our country, and in "all the world" to pro-
claim religious liberty, or liberation.
This assertion has been supported by Cardinal
Gibbons and other Roman Catholics notwithstand-
ing it has been repeatedly shown, on the very high
est authority, to be absolutely UNTRUE; for it is
well known that Protestant legislature passed the
bill granting formally religious freedom of con-
science; and Lord Baltimore simply signed this leg
slative act just his did the Declaration
of Independence, (that condemned his church In
no uncertain way) because he knew, that these Thir
teen American Colonies were settled MAINLY by
people who had fled the prosecutions Of Europe tt
enjoy here FREEDOM of conscience in both Civi
as we'll as Religious affairs. Doubtless Lord Balti
more was too wise man and too good an American
not to see and value the true spirit Of our Repub
lican Institutions.

What Rome Returns for Hospitality

For over four hundred years this country has
beckoned men and women Of every country and
every creed to enter its borders and partake of its
priceless bounty to drink of the Elixir of Freedom,
civil and religious; to enjoy the same protection as
the sons and daughters Of its own blood to share
with them in Its rewards and emoluments; to be-
come equal with its own progeny in every sense.
1t has devoted its best efforts towards the re-
generation Of those who, in foreign climes, have
been dwarfed and stunted intellectually by the hell
ish policies Of kings and potentates.
1t has sown Brotherly Love and reaped the pa
pal-spawned spirit of Kaserdom.
1t has planted the seeds Of Unselfshness and
reaped Sefshness.
1t has prepared the ground for q harvest and
in misery and anguish has seen 1t adroitly trans
formed into rank pasture for the fattenng of in-
satiable beasts, imported by its adopted sons, to
prey upon its own beloved birthrights, even upon
its own life.
Even its own matchless record Is not immune
from the defling hand of the assassins of Democ-
racy and Individual Rights Not content with
crowding its progeny into places Of power and over
the heads Of those who ought to be preferred, not
content with substituting alien enemies for true and
tried children of Coumba's conception, not contsnt
with being permitted to monopolze political enolu-
ments, these unprincipled servants Of foreign
despot more grasping and unscrupulous than the
kaiser, have even dared beSnirch the fair page Of
our country's history with nterlineatons which il
unchallenged would virtually make Of US mere vas

our fathers fought to give u.

ment hard and bitter when first one and then an
other Of the long lookedfor foreign troops either
failed to materalize, Or when confronted with the
necessity Of battle, quietly stole away and left the
colonists to fight alone. In all this of contra
diction and perversion one name stands out above
all others, which, if popery spoke truly, would en-
title Rome to some consideration, and that Is the
name Of Lafayette, and Rome claims this patriot
and would use him as her strongest argument for
excess consideration.
But here, as In practically all their statements,
history makes them swallow the lie.
LAFAYETTE WAS THE LIFELONG oPPoN-
ENT OF ROMANISM AND A LIFELONG AND
ACTIVE FREEMASoN. Even when q deputy In
France, he bitterly fought every attempt to inject
popery into politics and when in this country, on
two occasions, put himself on record, once to Mr..
Charles Palmer, Of Richmond, and the other time
to an eminent Dutch Reformed clergyman, Rev. P.
I. Van Pslt, when he said: ait IS MY OPINION
THAT IF THE LIBERTIES OF THIS COUNTRY
ARE DESTROYED, IT WILL BE BY THE
SUBTLETIES OF THE JESUIT ROMAN CATH
oLIC PRIESTS, FOR THEY ARE THE MOST
CRAFTY, DANGEROUS ENEMIES TO CIVIL
AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THEY HAVE IN
STIGATED MOST OF THE WARS OF EUROPE"
And yet Rome Of today would so impose upon
the credulity Of Americans as to declare that man
who hated and fought Jesuitry was a good Roman
Catholic. Still another point Of interest lies in the
fact that FRANCE DID NOT FURNISH LAFAY-
ETTE. HE CAME AGAINST THE ORDERS OF
