himself one of the races greatest
leaders. While the league was at
tended mainly by farmers, they got
got right down into the spirit of the
meeting and discussed fully every
subject on the program. Everybody
was satisfied and their only regret
was that the league session did not
hold a week instead of two days.
One of most interesting features of
the league session was the farm ex-
hibit made by the farmers of the
Quincy, community. Here was ex-

cane, sorghum preserves, pickle
can goods, and needlework.
This was displayed in the school
house near the church where the
league was held and it soon became
the center of attraction, as the far

products of the home and of the
farm.

was made under the artistic eye oil

PRIEST FOLEY'S PAPAL OPINION
OF AMERICAS PUBLIC OPINION

Public opinion will support the national government in
its determination to rid the country Of radical aliens The
spirit of radcasm is something that must be dealt with in
uncertain terms Men and women who would set up
reign of anarchy in the United States have claim for
sympathy OF elemency.
The leaders of this movement did not come to our cou
try with the intention of becoming American citizens They
brought wt them hatred Of all forms Of organized gov
ernen They do not understand the first dmens Of de-
mocracy They put the democracy of this country level
with the old autocracy Of Russia and would set up gn
of terror like that which now rules in that unfortunate coun
try
II would be suicide for government to ignore the fact hat
there many loose ideas being propagated among
pie They will become real danger II their growth and
seriousness is not recognized America welcomes oil who
chance the happiness and success that may have
been denied them in the land Of their nativity II must not
be made an asylum for anarchists.
So says Priest Foley in his western Cath
Olic" Of Nov 2l. Fsae
RADICAL ALIENS. sbloOd but they are a
bad bunch!
But, soft Who said the government is deter
mined to be rid of them? Who said that the
national governments present administration
would be rid even Of the worst Of them?
Who are the radicals? Who are the aliens?
And where are radicalism and alienism most
lconspicu0usly combined?
Who is more radical thar the rev0luti0nist,
De Valera, and who are more alien than the
papist hyphenates who give him aid and COM
fort in his agitation Of rebellion against an allied
friendly nation?
Is the national government very much deter
mined to be rid of him--or of them? If so, there
is no particular evidence Of 1t.
PUBLIC OPINION. Yes, It would support
the government in effecting riddance of bad rub
bish-prOvided the said government WelcOEsed
such support,
4 Let the Menace man tell you what Public
Opinion win dot will create government, by
electng national administration, to do its will;
and its win Is that America should be rid Of rad
ical aliens-beginning with the biggest and the
worst and the most dangerous,
Public opinion in America has no sympathy
with anarchism; and public opinion in America
HAS NO SYMPATHY WITH MONARCHISM.
The worst Of all radical. aliens irritating the
American public today Is the radical alien De
Valera who was sent here by his monarch, the
pope Of Rome.
And the next worst Of all radical aliens af-
6icting America are those subjects Of the pope
who plan, finance and otherwise promote De
Valera's pope-inspired agitation.
Worst Of all radical aliens are the twe8ty

legged Americans are going to the
same place for divorce that they
went for marriage. Like others Of
that kind, they hold American law
and institutions in contempt; /;
neither marriage nor divorce is
good enough unless performed by
a papal agent. Nothing but the i'm
ported fopeiIsn article appeals to
their aesthetic taste.
So be it. u informs us that civil
marriage and civil divorce are OBJ
jectionable to papal subjects not
because Of their religious or ire
! Iligious nature but because they are
American. If Roman Catholics can
get the same things with the pope's
brand and blessing they will go all
the way to Rome to get the royal
article.
The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1919-12-06

thousand priests, the thirty thousand rObed and
piain-clOthes Jesuits, and the horde of other pa
pal agents, whose radicalism consists in their ef
forts to uprOot Americanism, and whose alienism
consists in their efforts to set up Romanism.
They came to America not with the intention
Of becoming American citizens but with the in
tention of making America CathOlic--that is,
subject to popery. They brought with them
hatred Of American government American in
stitutions and American civilization. They do
not understand and do not wish to understand
the first rudiments of democracy. They put the
democracy Of this country on level with other
heresies, and would set up a reign of popery in
its stead.
LOOSE IDEAS. If there is anything more
disconcerting to the pOpes anOinted than an idea,
that thing is loose idea. If an idea could be
Gagged or tied it would not be nearly so disturbing
to the monarch Of the papal empire. Moreover,
since most ideas are loose and running at large,
the very idea Of an idea, unless approved by pope
or priest, suggests horrors to priestly piety.
One Of these loose ideas is the notion De
Valera is circulating-that Ireland is a nation
and should be independent. So it should, but it
should first become Independent of pOpery. When
Ireland gets that independence it will be fit for
all kinds of independence. When ireland shakes
off superstition, it can shake off England pro-
vided it then wants to.
Yes, America welcomes all who appreciate
her hospitality and free institutions, and many
who don't. That is why it has become an asy.
lum for Jesuitism and popery after they have
been repudiated by other countries.
American hberality and tolerance offers
asylum to Jesuitism which is incapable of ac-
cepting hospitality without trying to oust and
dispossess its host. Popery is an ambitious
guest: not content to sojOurn contentedly where
the Good Samaritan of liberal culture has given
1t asylum, 1t would abuse that hospitality, stir up
strife, create confusion, and loot the premises
while raising mighty hue and cry about other
radical aliens.
Someone has said that public opinion is al
ways wrong. The saying may be approximately
true; but it is equally true that public opinion
is always getting right. When public opinion
gets right on the subject of Romanism It will
supportla government of its own creation in
righteous determination to rid this country of
radical aliens.
The government win then be willing and de-
termined; and, when that time comes, the coun.
try itself viii be far more radical and far less
alienated from its fundamental ideals.
