SENATE TAKES FLING AT RELIGIOUS LEGISLATION
Resolution Calling
The Roman Catholic Day

Protestants may as well get
their rosaries and learn how to
count Romish beads, and be
quick about it, if the Roman
lists are going to be able to get
through with their measures for
Romanizing America as easily
as they put Senate Joint Reso-
luton No. 164 through the
United States Senate on July
9th.
This resolution, which is yet
to be acted on by the house of
representatives, requests the
president to command, by proc
lamation, that the people OBJ
serve the Angelus or practice of
prayer at noon each day.
The Angelus is a distinctive
Roman Catholic ceremony of
prayer addressed to the Virgin
Mary, and is not used by any
other sect except the Roman
Catholic church.
Webster's Dictionary defines it as
follows:
ar: C. Oh. A form of devotion
commemorating the Incarnation by
repeating three Scripture texts on
the mystery, alternating with three
Ave Marias, followed by a versicle
and response with prayer;-so-called
from its opening words, Angelus
Donini nuntiavit Mariae.-'the an
gel Of the Lordsannounced to Mary
1t is said at morning, noon and even
ing at the sound of a bell, called the
Angelus Bell"
We give a common form of
the ceremony or prayers of the
Angelus below:

IS CRITICISM OF POPE DISLOYAL TO U.S.?
Inc Knights OF Columbus Of California Try To Make Appear That Such
Inc Ease and Demand The Removal Of u S. District Attorney
for Allowing An Article Condemnng The Pope To Be Cicated

Whatever may be said of the
intelligence of the upper crust
of the Roman Catholic church,
those who compose the mem
bership of such un-American or
ganizations as the Jesuits,
Knights of Columbus, Hibern-
ians, etc., etc., are students of
psychology and adopts in the
art of deception.
A case in point is called to
our attention in the form of
an article from the July 18th
issue of the San Bernardino,
California, Daily Sun, in which
it is shown that Knights of Co.
lumbus from five different coun-
ellis of the order in that in
tsnsively Romanized commun-
ity, for all intents and pur-
poses, take the position that the
Catholic church is the Ameri-
can government, that the pope
is the head of the government,
and that any one who criticises
or objects to the doctrine of that
hoary old organization and the
antiquated monarch who pre-
sides over its destinies is pro-
German, anti-American and
should be treated as a spy.
For egotism personified and
arrogance without a parallel in
the history of this country,
read the following from the pa.
per above referred to:
Removal of United States District
Attorney O'Connor of Los Angeles Is
demanded in resolutions signed yes
terday by heads of five Knights of Co
lumbus councils at a meeting held at
Redlands, as the result of distribution
in various cities of the "Kingdom
News" the Russellite publication,
which contains an attack on the Cath
olic church in connection with the war,
and which paper bears the stamp:
1.-THE distribution of this edition by
consent of United States attorney,
June s, 1918"
kilograms asking for immediate in
vestigation Of 0'Connor's alleged act
In consenting to the distribution Of
the alleged sedition and German pro-
paganda, were sent to Washington
authorities.
Knights Of Columbus and other
Catholic organizations all over the
United States will be urged to CO.
operate in the demand for an in
vestigation.
The principal charge which
The Menace makes, and has
made for seven long years,
against the Roman Catholic or
ganization is that it is, and from
the very nature Of it's organiza-
ton and mission must ever be,
against the freedom of speech,
press and assembly, principle
which the fathers Of this re-
public regarded as the greatest
safeguard to the liberties and
perpetual safety Of the Amer
ican people. ............,...

THE REDUCTION TO
VIRTUAL IMPOTENCE
Of All Arbitrary Powers Is Neces-
sary to The Worlds Future
Peace Declares President

Standing at the tomb Of Washing
ton on the birthday Of the nation,
President Wilson defined the pur-
poses for which the democracies are
fighting in one of those great speech
es for which he has become justly re-
nowned. He summed up the objects
sought in four brief and pungent
paragraphs of great force and clear
ness. The first paragraph, which is
of extraordinary interest, reads as
follows:
"The destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly, and Of its single choice dis
turb the peace of the world, or, If it
cannot be presently destroyed, at the
least its reduction to virtual impo-
tence."
That declaration, as, indeed, all
those made by the president in his
Mount Vernon speech, meets the un-
qualified and enthusiastic approval
of The MENACE and the Free Press
Defense League. Our contention has
ever been that the shackles placed on
mankind by arbitrary power must be
removed, and that all valid govern
mental authority must rest solely on
the consent Of the governed. That
is the chief corner stone of this great
republic and Of all modern and popu-
lar government.
That the pope equally with the en-
perors is guilty under the law Of lib
erty and right so cogently stated by
the president is clear as the monday
sun. Does he exercise arbitrary
power? No other autocrat since the
dawn Of history has welded power
$50 arbitrary or so absolute. Others
have claimed the highest authority
of earth, but he presumes to rule with
the sanction and authority Of heaven
also as the only and personal repre-
sentative Of the God Of nations.
Others claim absolute power in their
respective donlinions, but he claims
spzeramty over all governments and
dominions as the supreme autocrat
Of the world.
Does he rule by the consent Of the
governed? No person on earth ex-
cept the seventy cardinals Of the
Roman church has any voice in his
election, and the cardinals are in
turn all appointed by the pope. No
other prelate, priest or member Of
that church in many centuries has
had any voice whatever in the cleo
tion Of his sovereign pontiff.
Does any cabinet, congress or par
lament share with him responsibility
for the papal government? On the
contrary he claims divine right to
speak and rule with infallible author
ity, and from his acts and decrees
there is absolutely no appeal. All
the popes have concurred with Leo

She knOUs nOU!!

During the early part of December a lady was over heard to make the following satement 'I going to buy Monograph for Christmas and wish that could buy an Edison, but have lot of talking machine records which cannot be played on the Edison.'' She didn't know that the New Edison will play records made for any sound reproducing instrument just as per- fectly, if not more than the talking machine for which they were manufactured
 She didn't know
 We thought that every man and woman in this com munity did know that mportant point regarding the New Edison. We still believe that this customer was an exception but not going to take any chances from on.
 We'll the sequel to this story is that the party who overheard these remarks owned New Edison and among his Edison records he had great many records bearing the well known trademark of famous sstalk ing machine. He approached the lady and asked her to step up to the Edison Shop She did so and after hearing certain famous tenor who does sing for the Edison Company, sing to her through the New Ed son as though he in person were standing there she bought an Edison without another word. Did you know that the New Edison would play records of any manufacture?

ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTERED
BONDS.

BY an official order of the Treas
ury, the assignment Of registered
bonds heretofore made only before
certain Treasury officials and the
officers of certain courts and Fed
eral reserve and National banks can
now legally be made before officers
of incorporated State banks and
trust companies.
This will be great relief to many
holders of registered bonds living in
small towns and cities where there
are no national banks or persons
before whom the assignment could
legally be made.
Heretofore it has not been usual
