The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1919-08-16


to be called anything if this warning accompshes it's pur-
pose OF restoring peace
The time has for plain talk There is reason for
alarm There such industrial unrest and rl-
rebuked treason stalking from coast to coast melting re-
eurrence OF the misery that began five years ago
Serbia
The expected is happening but sooner than expected
The Roman Catholic organization using every agent and
agency under its control to make war between the United
States and Great Britain.
You know what this mongrel, De Valera, of German
Spanish blood of Yankee BIRTH of Irish pretense and of
papal inspiration is doing preaching sedition from
coast to coast stirring up the disaeced of all classes to
raise hell and raise it high
tits support given this renegade that gives his ag
taton influence He is backed by the Roman Catholic EN-
pre for which he is working He is aided not by the Irish
Catholics alone but by every aggressive papst Every Ro
man Catholic priest bishop archbishop cardinal and Jes
ul from the least to the most exalted is in the game
Every Roman Catholic publication from the diocesan or
gans of enthroned preates down to the punest parish
monthes, is filed with denuncations of England and de-
mands for American recognition Of republic that is moth
ing but rebellion
Jesuts plan, finance and stage the demonstrations in
which he plays the fictitious part of patriotic president
all for the purpose of stirring up strife so strenuousy
as to rupture the friendly relations existing between the
two great Protestant nations
Are we oversatng the intent and effect of this agta
onY 1t you cannot agree with in regard to it's pur
pose and logical outcome be kind enough to explain the
situation any other hypothesis America is not thei
place for Ireland to secure independence of Great
Britain.
If there any sncereity in this talk about an in
dependent republic it would be made to the various peo
pies composing the British Empire Instead of coming
here to n1ame the minds of the politically and economic
ally dlscontented sincere advocate of Irish separaton
would go to Scotland to Canada, to Australia, or toI
England where those amenabe to De Valersh doctrines
possess the power of British citizenship to act with effect
If Irish independence were the object Of the mission
its spokesman would here an Irshman make his
plea to Americans and associate with men representative
Of the nation instead Of fraernizng with aliens who were
notoriously proGerman in war time
II the Irish people, as people, really wanted to es
tabish republic The MENACE would be with them in SYM
pahy and with all help that is legitimate but when the
fanatcal dupes OF the power which this whole ex
ctement hiss and boo the president Of the United States
at their meetings. while cheering the popes archbshops
and cardinals it plain that what they want is something
to satisfy and glorify the papacy.
The fact is that this mouthpece Of popery cares no
for ireland than for the island of Madagascar He
Ireland convenient juggling device to foster dis
content with Protestant civilization and to sap the founda
ons Of stable government 1t is the business Of him and
those working with him to keep the world in an uproar and
defeat peace until papal demands are complied with
This game Of world politics, which popes and Jesuits
play with surprising skill is much like chess Those who
plainly see the moves and counter moves cannot grasp
their significance unless initiated into the meaning Of the
moves and their object Innocent unnformed doubters
are legion They doubted the possibility Of war FIVE years
ago. They heard from time to time how the European
capitals had passed crisis after crisis until they came to
assume without any adequate reason that war had played
out and would never again set nation against nation
There now the disposition to hug the hope that
the late war is the last Such complacent ignorance is
hard to convince concerning events on the way until thew
arrive We must bring these people out Of their dream Of
false security 50 they will help do what is necessary to
stop Sim Felmsm IN America We dread the Bolshevism
which so far has confined its operations to Europe but
Sim Feinisrn IS nothing ,,,ora A iAss 4ta,S
