The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1919-10-25

the head OF the League as secretary general. ~
is there that the general OF the Jesuits and the
secretary general Of the League are expected tOl
arrange the politics Of the world at the instance
Of their crowned sovereign pontif. If they ne,d
counsel or assistance In this viRinOus enterprise
the supreme ntftccrat Of the pspal cnpire win
dispatch 10 Geneva his under secretary Of state
or stin raOre unScrupuiOus ccHspilat0r, II there
be any such, as legate latera for that purpese.
This il part Of the price paid 10 the pope for
his support to the League Of Nations. What
other consideration, IL any, was demanded or
promised for that support is yet uiHknOwn to the
public; but time win probably disclose. The po-
kticaI ambitions of the vatican are never openly
ayGwed. Secrecy and deception are their very
esseace. 1t is enly by patieRt vigilance in the
light Of ascertained facts that the trend Of pspd
lust for power can be detected.
But with the limited information ohtainabIe,
most of the dark and devious vaticaa intrigue
and treason in the world war have been expoSsd
Much Of the atrOciDus record has been correctly
predicted even before the diabolical purposes Of
Rome has ripcned into deeds. Truth Is mighty.
Its aN-peryaHing light win ultimately find the
darkest recesses Of the JesIitical underworld.
Lei American patriots keep an eye on Black
Pope LedociowYH in Switzerland. In spite Of
press censorship IN beth hemisphcres, enough
facts win reach the public to Disclose suhEtan-
italy the whole truth. BY pfeciag together bits
Of information that elude the papal cenScr Of the
secular press and comparing them with atlnfiS-
sion which appear either boastfusly or iTsadvert-
emily In the Roman Catholic press, virtually the
Whole plots Of pnpary, however deeply laid, can
be accurately SUI Used.
No other engine of oppression and plumber
ever encumbered the earth with deception SO
scientific, with ambitions so cruel and so ex-
tended, with venality SO olnniprcsent with dis
cipifRe and authority so absolute. This arch
fskFic attained its greatness ia the long intel
lectJal and moral night of the middle ages. The
Man Of Galilee sat upon the western slope Of the
Mount Of Olives nearly two thousand years ago
and looked sadly down the centuries as He por-
trayed It's ravages upon the world. Two of His
apostles later fcretold by prophetic inspiration
its Inoistroas career of iniquity and devastation.
The whole papal system is alien to the mod
ern world. The fierce Hight Of truth makes 1t
frantic with resentment and indignation, A
creature Of darkness, it would close the public
schools, colleges and universities; Il would sup
press books, newspapers and magazines; 1t wouad
burn the Bible; it would strangle to death al
freedom Of speech; 1t would shaclle freedom Of
thought and Of research; It would Hot pepuiar
government from the earth; 1t woEld turn hack
the march Of civilization into the narrow conf7aes
of the dark papal centuries. It is time to strike
this supreme enemy of mankind from the world
it has outraged SO long and so deeply. The hu-
man race Is entitled to the fun fruiti0n Of truth,
liberty and Justice.
