force nor subvert our courts of
justice?
AS before stated, Arthur
Crane proved his case in Wash
ington, D. c., was placed in
jeopardy on this charge and was
acquitted before the assistant
to the postmaster general. Os-
car A. Trippett, the judge who
was on the bench in San Fran
cisco in the absence Of Dooling,
when Crane returned, accepted
and fled his plea Of former ac-
Quittal. This mans action in
acting for Dooling should have
been accepted in the same good
faith as though he had received
It himself for it was not a ques-
tion of personal action but a
question Of a judicial official in
action. However, this and other
matter such as the judges in
structions to the jury form the
basis of the defendants appeal
and he truly believes he will be
vindicated in the higher court
One ee'or which Crane claims is
that the Romish prosecutor
stated in his address to the jury
that Cranes prior sale offer tc
refund the purchase price of the
book to all who should request
it was a sign, in itself, Of fraud
The judge failed to instruct tht
jury that such guarantee ant
conditional sale is rot a sign o.
fraud. This is but one of many
points which Cranes attorney
claims is a manifest error. But
error or no error, to a hereto
this looks like a simple case o1

gineered through the courts. Il
looks as though Rome were de
termined to make the courts ,

defendants work; in Los Angeles
during the time that John Fair
New was carrying on his religious
work there, and in San Francisco
during the Panama-Pacifc Inter
national Exposition"
We never heard of a man be-
ing prosecuted for eating flesh
of animals nor do we know how
such a matter could have been
involved in this case but if the
defendant had been one who
was accustomed to eating his
fish on Friday he doubtless
would have escaped without
drawing the fire of this papal
prosecutor.
Cranes Slim Chance
You can see from the New
case into what tender hands
Crane has fallen. You can see
how much chance he had before
this same Judge Dooling, and
this same prosecutor, Ornbaun,
both of whom were at no disad-
vantage before a jury of which
at least ten were Roman Cath
olics. 1t would be an easy mat
ter to read a charge of heresy
into the records against most
any protesting Protestant under
such conditions. Of course
neither New nor Crane profess
to be allied with denominations
commonly called Protestant but
they are, and were, truly Prot
estants for, in addition to teach
ing a positive belief they were
likewise teaching the same op-
position to Rome as was taught
by Luther, Calvin and Knox.
The point of difference lay chief
ly in the difference of time, for
just as the early protestors were
reaching and organizing men
and women who were accepting
their view of religion, so these
men we're banding people to-
gether into what the world is
pleased to call new cults.
Whether their belief was in
conformity with yours or not is
no reason for depriving them of
their right to believe and to
teach according to their OWL
choice. This nation says
through its constitution, that
congress shall pass no laws re.

specting the establishment of a
religion and that leaves all re-
lgion free. In other words, it
was intended to guarantee that
religious liberty which the Pill
grims so earnestly sought, and
which Rome interprets as
meaning liberty for the Roman
Catholic religion and restrictions
for "other churches"
But the question is, are we
going to allow Rome to estab-
hsh a veritable inquisition
through our courts; courts
which are an Americans only
guarantee of justice when his
actions are called into legal
question? Are we to permit the
safety valve Of society to be-
come a substitute for the rack
and wheel? Are we going to
hail men and women into court,
charged with heresy, just as the
pope's inquisitors hailed them
into the papacy's tribunals in
Spain where they had to recant
or suffer tortures worse than
hell itself? Are we to substi-
tute the canon law of Rome for
the constitution and destroy the
institution of justice and the
guarantee of religious freedom
in the interest of an institution
that hesitates to spill blood only
because it dare not, under pres
ent conditions?
What are you doing to make
these cases so warm for Rome
and Romanists that they will
know they are dealing with a
nation of people who prize their
blood-bought heritage? Are
you going to permit men to be
sent to prison in such a manner
without raising your voice and
letting the world know that SO
long as God reigns and the peo-
pie rule the cloven hoof of pop
cry shall not become a dominant

TT-TlNLESS the u. S. Circuit
vi Court of Appeals reverses
ESbS the decision Of a lower
N court in California, the
second case of a hereto" being
imprisoned for teaching and be-
lieving doctrines contrary to
those held and believed by Ro-
man Catholics will have been
written into American history.
Arthur Crane, Of San Fran
cisco, is the victim Of Romish
hate in this second case. He
now labors under a two-year
sentence for his heresy, which
sentence, by the way, is under
suspension while his case is be-
ing appealed from the San Fran
cisco lower court to the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeal S.
Cranes case is singular, not
only because he is virtually on
trial for heresy but because he
has had to defend himself
on the same identical charge
in Washington, D. c. where he
was acquitted and in San Fran
cisco where his plea of former
acquittal was stricken from the
files by the Roman Catholic
Judge, M. T. Dooling, after it
had been admitted by the Hon.
Oscar A. Trippet, who was act
ing in Judge Dooling's absence
while the latter was detained
from his duties by an injury to
his person.
Needless to say the jury
which tried Crane was mostly
composed of followers of the
pope. Ten of them are declared,
by Crane, to be undoubtedly Ro-
man Catholics while the other
two are, he believes, either of
that faith or so much in SYM
pathy with it as to make little
difference.
Crane was indicted in March,
1917. The grand jury styled
his offense as sending his, 'hypo-
critical and fraudulent doc
trines" through the mails. The

In that Bill of Particulars

tist and other churches"
What do you think of that
Mr.. American? DR.. New went
to the penitentiary for two
years. He had been teaching q
doctrine" contrary to the es-
tablished faith or prevailing re-
ligion. Note that the only re-
ligion mentioned is the Roman
Catholic. This Roman Catholic
prosecutor was forced to bring
the names of other sects into
his bill else it would have shown
up as a Roman scheme on its
face so he recorded that News
heresy was also contrary to the
faith Of other churches. But he
doesn't call their faith religion
"The Roman Catholic religion is
the only one true" in his eyes
hence he could not accord tc
any church the same term
applied to his church, and mas.
much as he placed the reference
to Catholicism first it is easy tc
see in what channel his thoughts
were running.

BEARERS ARRESTED
One Arrested and Convicted by U,

Similar Fate In England

Our English correspondent in
forms US that Rev. Father Michael
DAILY, aged 2S, of the R. c. church
was sentenced to three months i'm
prisonmcnt at Liverpool on three
charges: (1) having in his posses
sion a code capable of communicat-
ing naval or military information,
(2) having in his possession for
conveyance to the United Kingdom
two sealed letters, (3) and with
making a false declaration to an
aliens officer. He had arrived al
Liverpool from New York and when
questioned denied he had letters fol-
other persons in his possession. On
being searched, however, a secret
code and two sealed letters were
found. He stated that a Father
Murphy who was in America and
who was great Irishman wanted
news as to how the Sim Fein move
ment was progressing and as he
thought letters would be censored q
''little code" was concocted. He ad,
mitted he had been foolish but he
thought there was no harm in bring.
ing the letters. 1t was stated that
the war officer took a serious view
of the case. How many months dc
you think a layman would get fol-
such an offense?

indictment had special reference
to Cranes book "The Great
Exorcism," which has less ref
erence to Rome than any of his
books. His previous writings
were what really directed the
fire of the Roman church upon
him. Among his earlier works
we find "The New Philosophy"
which greatly offended Rome,
and a pamphlet entitled, Can
a Good Roman Catholic be a Real
Citizen Of the United States or
be an Impartial Judge or Juror" /"
Anyone at all familiar with how
Rome seeks to crush those who
fearlessly take a stand against,
and expose the true status Of,
orthodox papalism can we'll un-
derstand how Crane soon be-
came a marked man, and those
who knew the man and the
work he was doing were not
surprised when they learned of
his indictment; for no enemy of
Rome is outside prison doors if
she can railroad him into con-
finement. In Cranes case she
was emboldened by the success
attained in the case of DR.. John
Fair New, who was arrested in
San Francisco, in 1915, accused
of heresy. DR.. New was SEN
fenced to two years imprison-
ment before this same Roman
Catholic judge, and the same
Roman Catholic prosecutor, Cas-
per Ornbaun perverted the ma
chinery of government to the
uses of popery.
It was in the New case that
Ornbaun gave the first Romish
definition of heresy to be found
in the whole history of Ameri-
can courts. = The defendant
asked for a Bill of Particulars
which would set forth in detail
just what the charges against
him incorporated and in his re-
quest asked that the prosecutor
state in just what manner he
was guilty of heresy. On Aug
ust 18th, 1916 Ornbaun filed his
