papal hierarchy.
On August 30, Mr.. Brisbane fill
ed the first column on the front
page Of the Times with an editorial
entitled "Change Here for Canossa,"
wherein he put forth the dishonest
absurdity that the autocracy of the
Pope is the ideal democracy. He
probably knew at the time that the
popes are elected by the cardinals,
and the cardinals are appointed by
the popes, and that no bishop OF
priest OF layman in the papal en-
pire has any more voice in the cleo
tion Of his sovereign pontiff than
he has in the movement of the
tides. But Mr.. Brisbane knew the
voice of his masters and was writ
ing to please them.
As further evidence of the fellow
ship and collusion Of the Times
editor with the propagandists Of
Rome, he attended the Catholic
Press Association in Chicago the
middle of August and there deliver
ed an address on "The VitaliSed
EDITORIAL" While filling columns
in his own paper with such slop as
his Change Here for Canossa,"
with cunning worthy of Jesuit, he
told the papal editors that the chief
requisite of vital editorials is sim
,ority, though he must have known
that any Roman Catholic editor
that would write the truth in SINGER
ity would thereby make his paper
unavailable under the postal laws
So well did he flatter the represen.
tatives Of the Vatican press at Chi
cago, that hundreds Of columns Of
that press were afterwards given tc
eulogy Of Mr.. Brisbane and his
address.
Since he became editor and pub
Usher of the Times, the daily papers
throughout the country have ap
parently conceded to him the leader
ship in supporting Rome and th'
German breweries. These pre-
liminary statements will enable
patriots to understand and ap
preciate the Jones resolution and tn
information given by Mr.. Palmer
The resolution (S. Res. 9O7) read
as follows:
