characterized as "perverts" and
their work as mischievous.
Such is the tolerance of the most
intolerant organization on earth
which has the effrontery to begin
its drive for one-half million dol
lars with an attack on the char
liable work of Philadelphia's citi-
zens. Further comment is super
Auous; for the good people of
Philadelphia are certainly wise
enough to draw their own conclu-

! HATA O1111lNU OlINOE LHdt N.
| EpN G. oath, which was so
IlR widely reprinted from the
l Congressional Record" "
has so agitated the papal press
as the article, Catholicism and
Politics" which appears else
where on this page. It has been
going the rounds, keeping the
priest editors in a ferment all
winter and thus far into the
heat of summer.
Somehow it never struck the
writer as anything more than a
very mild statement of facts,
but the way it has stirred the
animals indicates that it is full
of dynamite and worthy of per-
tinent comment.
The article appeared in a Kan
sas City paper not long before
last years general elections,
credited to ''The National Cath
Olic Register" Since then it has
been printed hundreds of times
by as many publications, usually
with comment suggested by the
text.
1t was not long until the
priest-edited journals of pOpery
took notice and began to score
on the papers using it. Papist
editors asserted and still main
tain that there is no such pub
licatiOn as ''The National Cath
olic Register" Then they
rushed to the irrelevant cOnclu-
siOns that inasmuch as there is
no such paper, the matter cred
tied to it Is false and every pub
Usher thereof a liar.
The remarkable thing about
all this fuss lies in the fact that
no papist editor, so far as
known, has ever discussed. the
contents of the mOOted article.
Their whole effort is to show
that there is no such paper as
it purports to come from. In the
holiness Of their super-heated
Indignation they overlook the
fact that the truth of a state
ment depends not so much on
who uttered it as upon its own
inherent accuracy.
Who has not heard quotations
from Shakespeare and other au-
thors credited to the Bible, or
traditional gems whose authors
are unknown ascribed to inno-
cent parties? It is the content
that counts, and its pedigree or
origin is a matter of secondary
interest.
AS a matter of fact, there are
probably but few statements in
that article with which papists
would disagree if considered
separately on their own merits.

certain publication, but the real.
ity and meaning of what the ar.
ticle contains. Is the article
true or false? Wherein Is it true
or false? What is the meaning
of papist hostility toward So
many American principles and
institutions? Are the anti-dem.
ocratic declarations of popes
binding upon their subjects in
America? If not, why not?
Why and what for Is this exces.
sive number Of papists in public
Office? Why do such agents OF
the pope as Cardinal Gibbons
project themselves SO vigorously
into public and international af-
fairs? In short, why is Rome
doing all In its power to shape
and reshape the laws and poll
cies Of the republic?
It is these questions that
Rome dare not face either in
platform or printed discussion;
and that is why so much fuss is
made by the papist press over
something that is wholly imma-
terial, irrelevant, and mis-.
leading.

There is nothing too vile or
nasty for the priests and publicists
of Rome to say about all such rad
ical parties as the Socialists, such
independent societies as the Free
masons, such moral movements as
prohibition Of the liquor traffic,
such necessary institutions as the
public schools, and all the religious
or ethical organizations beyond
papal control. What ails the mil

Rome's chief bid for public
favor in this country may be found
in its repeated assertion that it
alone can bring the masses of man
kind under its sway and so con-
troll them as to maintain order, dis
courage turbulence, and insure
obedience to law. AS test Of that
claim and profession, the reader
has only to note the vehemence
with which the papist press is
counselling resistance to and dis
obedience of the state and national
laws concerning liquor. Rum is
outlawed, Rome is peeved, and re-
bellion so far as it may be dared
is the resort.

RB archbishop Of Philadelphia

@ liberation and liberality oi
his kind by a characteristic attack
on the social settlements and Sun

AS reported by the Philadelphia
Express of June 80, Dougherty ad
dressed meeting at the Forrest
Theater the evening before, in
which he used the following Ian.
guage in a harangue soliciting sub.
scriptions for a Roman Catholic
hospital and orphanage:
Archbishop Dougherty made the prin
cipal address. He told of his determin
alton to see that an Italian hospital is
built here, in spite Of any obstacles. The
Italians are the only immigrants from
Catholic countries, he said, who have not
built their own institutions. One conse'
uuence has been establishment Of social
centers and settlement houses in their
midst, through which, he said, the chill
dren Of italian Catholics are led away
from the faith of their fathers.
"They give shoes to the little girl,
they give clothes, to the boy, coal to the
mother, and they get the father posi-
ton. They take the children to So
called Sunday school and to entertain
ments, and finally they write their names
in books as having denied the faith in
which they were born. They pass over
oil other nationalities and plant them.

intense hate for tho papacy, for the

And so this agent Of the alien
autocrat, whom intelligent Italians
have the best Of reasons to dislike,
begins his Philadelphia drive for
half a million dollars with a bitter
and uncalled-for attack upon the
social settlements and Sunday
Schools Of the City of Brotherly
Love.
We wonder how readily Protes-
tants and other liberal-minded pa
irons of charity will respond to
the archbishop's begging campaign
when it begins with such an attack
upon their work and institutions.
Papists set up their so-called

s6O.0O BONUS ID DISCHARGED
 SOLDIERS
A $60.00 Bonus Is To Be Paid to All Discharged Soldiers Who Have Been Discharged Since April 9th. 1917.

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act approved February "A, 1919 author 1Zes the payment of a bonus of $60 to officers, soldiers, field clerks and nurses of the Army upon honorable seperation from active service by discharge, resignation or otherwise. This bonus is not payable to the heirs or representatives of any deceased soldier.
 Those who are discharged hereaf- ter will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay
 Those who have been discharged and have received their final pay without the $60. .00 bonus, should write letter to the Zone Finance Officer, Lemon Building. Washington D. C., stating their service since April 6, 1917, the date of last dis charge and their present address to which they desire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this letter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both if both were issued.
 Upon the receipt by the Zone Off, cer, Washington, D. G.. of this in formation and the soldiers discharge certificate, this officer will dause checks to be drawn and mailed to the claimants in the order in which their claims were received by him. The discharge certificate will be returned to the soldier with the check.
 It is estimated that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits of this Act and while payments will be made as expeditiously as practicable, it will manifestly take considerable time to write and mail this many checks.

THE INCOME TAX RETURNS.
 DOuglas InternatiOnaD

Many people find that the making of an income tax return is a bother some matter consuming much time. They get grouchy about it. The law might be made much clearer. Yet it is hard to draw up in advance any statement that will settle the intin- ite number of questions that will arise. Each case involving doubt full points must be analysed by itself.
 If ones return is at all complicat- ed, and if there is an income tax deputy easily accessible, it is the bet ter policy to pass the buck over to him tell him the facts, and let him make the return.
 It is believed that many peiple who should have taxable income are not reporting it Others don't dare ignore the law altogether, but they minimize their gains and eX- aggerate their losses, give themselv es the benefit of every doubt. As a whole their return is more or less dinhonest. There are many people who would do the square thing in any business transaction with their neighbors, but who do not hesitate to cheat the government.
 The United States as whole is generous in it's dealings with the people. The government is the eX ,pression of those great principles of human freedom and opportunity that make America the best place to live on earth. If you refuse to pay your honest share of the cost of run ming the government that gives such great blessings, you prove yourself an unworthy citizen and foul your own nest.
 The man who is yellow in small way in his dealings with the govern ment. is likely to find the crooked tendency creeping into his other hu- man relations. Anyone who makes a sincere and fair tax return has the satisfaction of feeling that he has contributed his due share to the maintenance of the great American principles and that he is doing his part to support the superb institu- tions for which America stands.
