American republic, the French re-
public, and modern Italy were con-
ceived in sin, and are merely toler-
ated because the papacy has not the
political power to destroy them.
Rome an Active Enemy
How plainl How literally and
how absolutely accurate! More
over, the papacy is not passive in
that attitude; its antagonism to-
ward progress and popular govern
ment is active. It's claims "are the
current teaching in every Catholic
ecclesiastical seminary and repre-
sent the convictions and determine
the papal attitude toward the
war;" This anti-American pro-
monarchial poison is fed regularly
to young priests in so-called reli-
gious seminaries on American soil
and is passed on by them to mil
lions of papal subjects who exercise
the privileges Of American citizen
ship while they yield allegiance to
an irreconcilable and unrecon-
structable foreign monarch.

is altogether too soft and pliable
to the mouthing of mountebanks
concerning their divine rights and
divine connections.
The kaiser has not been talking
so much these few past weeks
about what he and God are goinn
to do; but the pope keeps up the
old song with thousands of priests
and millions of plebeian followers
joining in to swell the chorus. He
sings the old song as boy whistles
to keep up his courage, though he
is as unhappy at the trend Of hu,

nents as heretics, and have done
them to death--they still brand
those as irreligious who would lay
their lives upon the altar Of science
and sacrifice all for the common
good. And they are safe, though
moribund, in all this because Of
that potent charm-pretended re-
Egion.
The apathy Of the American peo-
pie in the face Of this growing dan
ger is amazing. Their gulibility
and readiness to endure, if not en-
brace, a thing so false and fallac-
ious is beyond comprehension. 1t
seems to be the national weakness
to tolerate anything which bears a
religious label. When Americans
rise in millions to stop aggressive
kaiserism, we cannot believe that
their faith in democracy is .at fault.
We know that they are ready to
fight for freedom when the foe is
bold enough to come ont into the
open; but there is a blindness to
the fine Italian hand that is steal
ing their birthright from before
their very eyes.

little, which is not SO little as to
be ignored, is eloduently indicative
of much more that has been sue
cessfully hidden. Read further:
He (the pope) has had to face
this issue democracy before in the
case of particular countries, but he
then had his fellow despots to back
him, and he came out at least un-

those who were prepared to lay
down their lives for right and JUS

 Even bigger problems confront the express companies. Consolidated lnto one system under government opera tion. the four original corporations are reported to have asked the depart ment of justice if there would be any violation of the Sherman antitrust law in their remaining unit.
 In two years of physical possession of the railroads, the government has encountered a deficit of approximately S646, ,OOO, ,O0O, according to estimates submitted to Senator Cummlns. When the roads were taken over January l, 1918, congress guaranteed them a rental of s9OO, 100000 annually, based on the average income of three-year test period. Operating revenues in 1918 fell $236 100000 below the stand ard return and this year will be about S25O. 900 .OO0 under that amount. The remainder of the deficit has been in- cured in expenses of administration, inland waterways, etc.
 Two appropriations have been made by congress, one of $500,000,000 and the other of $750,O0O,OOO, much of which has been used as a revolving fund by the railroad corporations and for the purchase of new equipment. These amounts will be repaid to the government.
