I'VE are fighting again for tn
principle that all men are endowe,
by the Creator with certain inalien
able rights, which l have mentioned
that governments derive their Jus
lpowers from the consent of the gov
erned, and that whenever any form
OF government becomes DESTRUCTIVE
OF these ends, it is the right Of tn
people to alter or abolish it."

Separate Church and State
1--WE must not allow the war, how
ever, to obscure our duties as citizens
IN civil life. We must not forget
that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, not only national liberty, but
civil and religious liberty within the
state and nation. So if we crush the
power of Kaiserism in the contest Of
arms, as crush 1t we WILL, we must
then look to the affairs of state, and
see that no FOREIGN INFLUENCE
Is allowed to grow up in Alabama
that will interfere with FREE
SPEECH, WITH RELIGIOUS AND
POLITICAL LIBERTY OR THE
INDEPENDENCE UNDER STATE
RULE OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
AND WE MUST SEE THAT
CHURCH AND STATE ARE
KEPT FOREVER SEPARATE. WE
SHOULD TOLERATE NO DOM
NATION OF OUR PUBLIC AF-
FAIRS BY ANY INSTITUTION
OR ORGANIZATION, SECULAR
OR RELIGIOUS, THAT IS MORE
RESPONSIVE TO THE MAN
DATES OF A FOREIGN POWER
THAN TO THE LAWS OF THIS.
LAND AND THAT SEEKS TO.

Kilby Quotes Lincoln's Prophecy
Before the shadow of Kaiserism
was cast upon the face of the world
we were warned Of such an influence
by Washington, Lafayette, and other
forward-looking men of their time.
Later ON President Lincoln, whom we
understand as the years roll by, made
this declaration:
Ut do not pretend to be prophet.
But though not prophet, ! see a
very dark cloud on the horizon. And
that dark cloud Is coming from Rome.
1t Is filed with tears of blood. II
will rise and increase till its fianks
will be torn by a fash of lightning, |
followed by a fearful peal Of thun-
der. Then a tornado, such as the
world has never seen, will pass over
this country, spreading ruin and des-
olation from north to south. After It
is over, these viii be long days of
peace and prosperity, for popery, with
It's Jesuits and merciless inquisitions.
will have been forever swept awayI
from our country. Neither l nor you,
but our children will see these
things.'"
Mobile Tribune Castigates Kilby
In March of this year, Mr..
kilby was down in Mobile, where
for years the pope's word has
been law, thoughthere is con-
siderable Protestant majority
there, and this majority is ex-
many unmistakable
signs Of intention to revolt
against pope rule, and this is the
whole-column editorial on his
visit from the Mobile Tribune Of
