manded a certificate of marriage.
The priest refused to perform the
baptismal ceremony unless the par
ents would pay him SIS to remarry
them according to. the Roman Cath
olic ordinance. This the father re-
fused to do and stated that he was
entirely satisfied with the legality Of
his marriage. The priest finally
consented to christen the child and
issued a certificate, and after writ

the following: "Illegitimate. The
parents are living in concubinage."
He signed his name as Franciscas

Catholic had been married to beau
tiful girl, member Of the Metho-

the ceremony. When their first baby
was six months old he went to the
priest to inquire into his status and
was frankly told that he was living
in adultery in the eyes of the church
and that his child was iiameless. This
he resented and quit the Catholic
church.
The most damaging things to be
said about this infamous decree have
been said by the representatives of
Rome themselves. IL is enough to
make decent men and women repu-
diate the institution that would give
birth to such conceptions and decrees.
Just prior to the war Great Brit

decree and mass meetings were be-

To Illinois goes the honor Of
having sent in the greatest amount
Of money contributed by any state
toward the lifting Of THE MENACE
debt. Illinois, we are proud Of
you and to you, pay the homage
that is your due. But-to each
and every state must go equal hom-
age. Almost without exception
our records show that the average
contribution per subscriber was
nearly the same in each state.
We see this best by looking at a
few notable examples. There are
nearly as many MENACE readers in
Iowa as in Illinois, about such a
difference as the difference in the
total amount received from each
state indicates. The same is true
of 0hio-one notable exception is
Pennsylvania, where the average
per reader is probably less than in
any state except those few Western
states at the very bottom Of the
list.
One would hardly think that
South Dakota with $762.80 total
had done as well as Illinois or Iowa,
yet that is the case apparent not
only when one compares the sub
scription list with the list Of con-
tributiOns but apparent also when
we look at the government report
Of the census for the two states.

an interesting one. While the to-

There's nothing to it. William can

Ali he has to do is TO become "con-

September 8, 1870, this same pope
