and a host Of other Irish-papists of
great prominence conducted in
Philadelphia on Sunday, Febru-
ary 20, a bowling demonstration
against England in which several
thousand Of their hyphenated fell
lows participated according to
press reports.
The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can Of February "a gave a most
elaborate account Of the remarkable
demonstration under a streaming
headline reaching across the front
page. Under the headline was a
conspicuous portrait of Cardinal
Gibbons as the principal speaker.
Sulphurous resolutions against the
British government were adopted
by the bowling papists, which read
in part as follows:
A state of qUGr, therefore, exists
bettVeen England and ireland, which,
in the interest of the peace of the
world, the peace conference cannot

troled almost to the man by papist
policemen? Why are nearly all our
large daily papers dominated by
Rome? Why is Rome in some states
and municipalities exempted by spe-
cial legislation from paying taxes on
her property? Why are Roman
Catholics given the right of fran
chise in our country while every
member of that church holds allegi-
ance, religious, political and civil, to
a foreign potentate, which Is in

Why do we permit Rome's unmar-

n HE Free Methodist church
RH Of North America at 69th
e. annual session, held in the
A city Of Freeport, Illinois,
adopted the report Of the COM
mittee Of reforms. 1t includes a
resolution on Romanism, an ex-
tract Of which we print below, as
reported by the secretary, E. A.
Taper. After presenting the pre-
amble Of the resolution, and dis
cussing Romanism in general
way, quoting also from the utter
ances Of popes, prelates, arch
bishops and Jesuits, the report
says:
In his fifth address on "The Pub
lie Schools and Their Foes" Rev. G.
o. Brown, Of Dubuque, Iowa, said:
"The Roman Catholic catechism is
taught as regular study in school
hours in the public schools at Key
West, New Mallory, Prairie Creek,
Bernard, Wilton, Holy Cross and
Tete de Morte, all in the State of
Iowa. /, myself" he says, "have
seen it in two Of these schools and
heard recitation at regular school
hours. At Spruce Creek, Spring
Brook. La Motto. Otter Creek, But
Ter, District No. 8, and many other
places in Jackson county, similar
state Of things exist"
DR.. Josiah Strong says: "The
conflict between the parochial and
public schools goes far deeper than
the question of religious instruction
1t involves the whole subject of edu-
cation, its aims and methods"
Why does the state take money
out Of your pocket to educate my
child? Not because education is a
good thing for him, but on the
ground that his ignorance would be
dangerous to the state. The object
of the public school is to make good
citizens. The object of the paro.
chial school Is to make good Cath
olics. The one system aims at sell
control, the other at control by
superiors.
We do not speak against the in.
dividual right of members of the
Roman Catholic church to worship
their fake relics Of homemade saints
by beads or blood if they choose
but, we do protest with every droT

A Government HoSpitaI7

We are informed that the st. Eliz.

to which THE MENACE referred in
No. 4O7, is a government hospital,
instead Of a Roman Catholic insti-
tuition, as its name and the methods
described in the papers would indI-
cate.
If our informant is correct, and the
statements made by the press are
also correct, it emphasizes our con.
tention that all places where unfor-
tunate human beings are under re-
straint, should not only be inspected,
but regulated to the extent that
abuses be corrected, and all perni-
cious influences and practices elm.

If barbarity and inhumanity, or
even neglect and carelessness are
allowed to prevail, or exist, in our
state and national public insti-
tutions, it's time for a full and COM
plete exposure of the conditions Of
affairs, and all needed changes
should be made without any
recource to the whitewash brush, no
matter how much it's use would bs

No Catholic speaker nowadays
omits the assertion that the great
speciality of the church is to make
law-abiding citizens. A speech re-
ported in the Standard and Times
assures us that "Catholic education
will teach our children to listen to
the authoritative voice Of govern
ment, and to obey" Priests, having
been thoroughly soaked In Catholic
teaching straight from headquarters,
might be expected to demonstrate
it's "law-abiding" effects. Yet here
is Priest Belford, Of Brooklyn, de,
nouncing the prohibition law passed
by that authoritative voice, the peo-
pie: ut is an unjust law. No one
Is bound to obey it, and no one
should have the least scruple about
evading it, breaking it, or defying
It," The same priest a few years
ago urged that certain prominent
persons be "shot without trial, like
a mad dog" What these priests
yearn for, openly or secretly, is for
the church to be the authoritative
voice Of government, and for in.
quisitional methods to enforce ODE
dience.

the papal Gibraltar of Germany.
Who inspired the murder Of its
progressive democratic premier?
Clemenceau is the incarnation of
the militant Professionalism that has
freed France from Jesuitism. Do
cesan organs Of leading Roman
prelates in this country bewail the
prospect Of having the Jesuits ex-
PEELED by France from Alsace-Lor-
raine which they have heavily in
tested under Germany.
1t was the Clemenceau govern
ment that placed such stalwart
Protestants as Joffre and Foch at
the head Of the French armies. It
was Clemenceau that prevented the
pope from sending a German spy
as nuncio to Peking. It was the
Clemenceau government that elic-
tied from the diocesan organ Of a
cardinal in this country recently
the demand that France be beaten
to her knees.
1t was the Clemenceau govern
ment that hanged Bolo Pasha. II
is the Clemenceau government that
supports Italy in excluding the
pope from the peace conference. II
is Clemenceau that insists on thu
complete disarmament of the Hur
for all future time. Was the bul.
let fired into the body of the
French premier inspired by thu
same Jesuitical depravity that as

cause believe i speak for locomotive
firemen and hostlers at least when !
say that any law which deprives them
of the rights of American citizenship
