HE PASSING CENERATION

TTNHE PASSING GENERATION Of Nebraska
1 farmers who care to trace the fortunes they made
but didn't get can locate million dollars of it by
reference to the will of the late Mrs. Michael Cudahy
ict of the said Michael and contributor Of million to the
Bishop of Chicago
At what time sundry farmers succeeded the buffalo on
Nebraska plains to there turn the sod produce corn and
fatten hogs Herewith, Michael Cudahy set up his mill to
separate the hog fat from the lean He like other packers
got the fat and the farmers got the lean.
While those tersof the soil followed their long corn
rows from sun to sum- and retired after dark to speculate
on the low price OF pork, Michael became millionaire
through the benificence of his hog mill
1t took million farmers to make one Michael but the
latter well made and well fixed when he passed on to-
wards Purgatoy and left his accumulated millions to his
widow.
The good Lord had given much to Michael SO the good
pope and his collectors expected much from him. Mrs
Cudahy did her best to meet their expectations and when
she recently died. it announced that among other con-
tbutons to the papa corporation she had given nearly
million dollars to Catholic institutions in Chicago alone
So here is the way the Roman doctrine Of ransubstan
tlaton worked out in the Cudahy The farmers Of
Nebraska transformed the buffalo walks and waows Of
the wilderness into fields; generation Of their labor fa
vored by and SOIL worked further transformation Of
elements into corn further mystical mutation made live
pork out Of the corn; and Cudahy got the pork.
But Michael ddnot keep all of Nebraskas pork crop
He left of it for seed for fertilizer He gave the
farmers back from $500 to $3.50 per hundred pounds Of
their product so they would not sarve but live to do it
again In that he was wise for the aborer who his
own farm and hog pen is just entitled to wages as the
one who doesn't He couldn't live and labor without ii
take all the product of his hands would be as disastrous
as to kill the hen that lays golden eggs.
Michael cevery paid his porkrasers to stick it out
in the heat OF the season. to fight drouh and gasshoppers
and to ship him their hogs when frost alghted on the
pumpkin. Twenty-Five to thirty years of that process
made Michael ti-millionare and sometimes made
those who did the work wonder why they fell so far short
lof it.
Some of them, who now recall their industrious exper
enc may wonder what became of the wealth they created
but couldn't keep. Mrs. Cudahy has given one million
dollars OF it to Roman Catholic institutions in Chicago
which means that now owned by the Bishop of Chicago
But don't think that the Bishop of Chicago person.
person with million dollars worth of pork or pork
products might eat it, lose it, waste it, but the Bishop
OF Chicago not person or association of personst
is corporation that is always hungry but eats al
ways getting but giving; fiction made real by
American law to grow and fatten like Nebraska swine for
the pope of Rome who is its owner, OPERATOR and
beneficiary
The Bishop of Chicago is what is known in legal lingo
as corporation soe It the financial twin of which the
pops Chicago archbishop the other The archbishop Of
flesh and blood operates the corporation bishop 1t is
rather complicated like many other features of the papal
system 1t contrvance of Roman finance intended to
make Cudahys hogs increase after his mill has trans
formed them into dollars and the dollars into Mrs
Cudahy's bequest
| It is connecting link in the chain of processes by
which Nebraska sun, soil and sweat finally reaches the
vats and cans of the vatican The archbshops corpor
ton is the legal owner of all Roman Catholic property in
the great State of Illinois The archbishop its local man
ager, and the papal system is its absolute owner.
And that is how million dollars worth of Nebraska
lard has finally found its place in the popes arder You
might call it transubstantiaton or transmgration or
transmutaon; but it is of those big transactions by
which the life and labor of free people is utilized to rob
them Of life and liberty for the enrichment and aggrandze
ment of foreign autocrat
The average American doesn't understand it because
he is too lazy and peerse to do anything but grnt when
sweated and exploited The Bishop of Chicago and the
popes anthropod bishops hate the Bolshevks because
they kick at such treatment and start disturbances but so
long Nebraska swne Nebraska farmers and Americans
generally submit to be sweated skinned and shuned along
the route that Nebraska wealth has taken to reach Rome
they will be equally esteemed by priests popes, and
