A SIMPLE IuSTIcE.


Not long since The Dispatch re-
produced an editorial taken from the
Herald Of Holiness. purporting to
have been printed in the National
Catholic Register The Dispatch has
never attacked any mans religion
and never will, and the article was re-
produced at the request of some of
our readers. Then came the after
math.
One of our Catholic friends said
there was no such paper as the Ma
tional Catholic Register, and that a
thousand dollars reward was offered
if we could locate it, We went after
the thousand. The firm of N. W..
Ayers & Son, Philadelphia, was ap-
pealed to. They are the publishers
of the National Newspaper Directory
and are authority on all matters re-
lating to papers, periodicals and
publications. n. w. Ayers & Son
stated that they did not know of
any such publication and had never
known Of it and had no record of it..
Then we wrote to DR.. Haynes, editor
of the Herald of Holiness, asking
him from what edition of the Ma
tional Catholic Register the article
was clipped and where it was pub
lished. DR.. Haynes seems to have
treated our request rather lightly,
sending a post card reply in which
he stated that he did not know where
the paper was published and that he
had reproduced it from current re-
ligious publications, just as others
had done and that he was sorry he
could not tell us where the National
Catholic Register was published.
The Dispatch presents the result
of it's investigation thus far. We
have been unable to locate the Ma
tional Catholic Register, and there
seems to be no such publica
ton. Having reproduced this ar
ticle purporting to have been
taken from it, we feel that we
ought to acquaint the people of these
facts as Simple justice.
