You got the subscribers one at a

An Expensive Luxury

Rome usually employs smoother
methods to hold up a city than
those recently utilized at Flint,
Michigan. That city is $4,000 to
the bad on real estate deal with
agents Of popery.
The city agreed to buy o piece
OF property from the local bishop
at an agreed price; but, before the
purchase could be authorized by
the election called for that prir-
pose, the contracting bishop passed
purgatoryward and the city had TO
finish the transaction with a new
representative Of Rome.
This new ecclesiastical financier
refused to close the deal at the
stipulated price. demanding some
$66,200 more for the property,
which the city paid. Why the city
submitted to the robbery is not al
together clear; but the city council
has adopted resolutions expressing
its official opinion Of Bishop Gal
lagher.
Now, it is not the usual thing
for city to be skinned in that
particular way because it is not the
usual thing for the pope's agents
to play their game SO crudely. A
good capable Jesuit would have got
that sixty-six thousand a little at
a time without the public so much
as knowing about II, There are

MnHonDonar Provide the Million Dollars

she MENACE has tackled the
egs biggest job ever undertaken Ito
- change public opinion in twelve
months.
You may think that it can't be done;
Nbut, if so, you are entitled to another
guess. 1t can be done.
There is probably a doubling Thorn
as in every twelve, but that does not
keep things from happening this year
that never happened before. It must be
done.
Even after it has been done, there
will still be few doubters. Those who
are born to doubt and who live to deny
are not the kind to change anything; |;
but they are not to blame, because they
didn't choose their parents. Y
We are talking TO the faithful elev-
en- upon whose vision and determine
I tion we depend for success. Public
opinion in regard to political Roman
ism can be changed it must be changed; !;
and it will be changed
Part of the change is already made.
We are not starting from zero in this
great campaign. There are already
millions Of American voters who are de-
tertnined to stop papal meddling in
American affairs.
Every one Of these pioneers is d
hero and host. Every one Of these
patriots is ready for action Every one
\ Of these protesters against popery is
willing to do his part. How can we

I failq
This campaign differs somewhat
from those you have put over in the
past. Heretofore the call has been for
subscribers, more readers, and yet more
subscribers and readers: the call now Is
for money, more money, and yet more
money until the million mark is
reached.

Some idea of how Rome lined
up to save Cardinal Gibbons
choice for governor Of Maryland
from defeat at the recent election
can be had from the following con-
tents Of a circular which was dis
tributed to the faithful at the doors
Of Roman Catholic churches in

Ncyember 3rd, 1919.
TO the Loyal Catholics of st. Martin 3
Parish ;--
1t is well known fact that the Cath
olic church never mixes in politics, but
in the city Of baltimore today, there has
arisen situation in the political con.
test now being waged that demands the
attention and action Of every true, sim
cere and loyal Catholic. We know posi.
lively that you can be placed in this
category
The situation il his, The entire Be
publican Ticket from the candidate for
Governor to the candidates for the House
Of Delegates allied itsek with tho big
soted, anti Oatholic, disofdetly element
known as the Waidronites. Tho chief
purpose Of these men (aa is well known
Is TO do harm 10 the Cathelic church in
every possible way. These men, IF they
got IN power, would attempt to do away
with our Catholic orphan aaylums, hos
pitfalls, reform inStitutions and schools,
that have done so much for our country,
Our noble Catholic sisters would suffer
the most.
