PapaI Authority in the United States

+ N RECENT CONVERSATION with half dozen
American citizens of mature years and eminent cul-
ture and scholarship, an official of the Free Press
Defense League was stating the law of the Roman church
which controls the marriage education and other personal
and property rights of Roman Catholics in this country,
when one Of the gentlemen inquired with manifest inter
est whether not government recognizes the right OF
the papa government thus to ntrude its law and set up
its institutions in the heart of this republic No doubt
many Of our best citizens condone this monsrous invasion
of our country by alien because govern
men does not formally authorize that invasion recog
nize its existence.
But it is the invasion itself that strikes at the very
essence Of national sovereignty Formal recognition
by our public authorities would not greatly aggravate the
wrong 1t is by permitting this alien intrusion rather
than by recognizing it that government short
lof protecting our national rights and liberties
When Roman prelates and priests break up virtuous
homes and families Of American citizens by the canon law,
lit is no defense to say that executives and courts do
not recognize that law When fifty colleges and UNIVERSE
ties operate and confer degrees in this country by virtue
of charter from the pope it protection to nst
utons to say that American law does not recognize
charer from the pope When law vests in the papal
government title to real and personal property in America
worth several billions of dollars the peril and outrage
upon our people consists in permitting such title rather
than in formally recognizing it. Papal usurpaon every
where is in large lawess 1t is not expressly
authorized by secular authority but is merely ignored
and permitted in violation of law and of civil authority
Rome is invading this country not because we have a-
thorized the INVASION but because we are asleep.

HoIy Manners Fighting School Bills

NN SUNDAY AFTERNOON, May 3, the Roman
Catholic Holy Name Society of Baltimore and
Washington met in Gonzaga Hall, in the national
capital Divers and sundry Irish priests and aymen cele
brated mass and delivered the usual type of Irish ha
rangues message from Cardinal Gibbons was delivered
wherein he congratulated the society its success pro
noting papal ambitions in politics and religion.
Roman Catholics claim that about eighty churches in
the Gibbons archdiocese represented in the gather

Smith educational measure left pending in congress at the
adjournment Of the recent session. Patriots will
Der that this provided for cooperation of the
national government with the respective states in the i'm
provement of public schools throughout the country.
Of course the Roman Catholic Church. as the inveter-
ate foe Of education determined that no such step shall
be taken. That Church" is always and everywhere
planted squarely the path Of any movement de-
signed to secure better educational facilities for all the
people
In MASSACHUSETTS, in Nebraska, in Texas and in other
sates the Roman hierarchy has diligently moved every
subservent political factor during the legislative sessions
closing to prevent improvement of the state school
systems. The committee education in the Massachll-
sets legislature April 20 granted Roman priests oppor
tny to air their objections to school bill there pending
An Irish priest and two Irish ayen appeared before the
committee for that purpose but with what success remains
to be determined Rome loves darkness rather than light
because her deeds are evil.

A Worthy Papers Fight for Freedom

N EADERS OF THIS PAPER are generally aware
N that the Chrjstian Science Monitor is one of the
ablest and most fearless Of the few daily newspa-
pers which handle the papal question free from Jesuit
meddling OF ecclesiastical intimidation.
From newspaper reports of the suit brought against
directors by members Of the Christian Science church it
evident that part if not the greater part Of the attack
is made upon Editor Dixon of the Monitor
Nothing would please Rome than to cripple the
publishing business Of the Christian Science church, and
especially the paper so ably managed by Mr.. Dixon.
Friends Of The MENACE and of the Monitor would
therefore do well to carefully consider and defer Judgment
concerning anything appearing to the detrment Of the
Christian Science body its publications in the imme
diate future.
Beware Jesuit use of existing conditions, for the

publication which is outspoken in regard to the papacy

They are thugs, bigots, fanatics.
They are drunk on dope which is

When, in March, those officials
ordered discontinuance of public
meetings on account Of the prevail

Mulhane displayed his arrogant
contempt of their reasonable regu-
lations by uttering his defiance in
a local paper which consisted Of
ten items, the tenth of which reads
as follows in The Republican

with all due Difference to city authority,

quotes from pro-booze sheets to
show that the good name Of Vir-

It is "the intemperance Of pro
