tory legislation and confiscation.
Il speak very plainly and with the
same right that any other American
citizen not of my belief may speak in
warning your representatives of our
sister republics that you introduce
undemocratic tyranny into a govern
ment when you introduce persecution
of the Catholic Church. You initiate
only that which is most subversive
of all democracy when you attempt
to initiate the unenlightened move
ments in our country that foment
racial and religious dissension and
of which all of us real Americans,
without distinction of race, color or
creed, are profoundly ashamed.
Suppression of the Catholic Church
is a futile undertaking. If she could
he destroyed she would have been an
initiated long ago. Here is the lesson
of history. Protect her within your
nation and she prosperS; persecute
her and she meets the prediction or
her founder and thrives to prove the
fidelity of a God who promised her
eternal protection. She commanders
the allegiance of no one. but she
presents to the intelligence Of the
le@derS of every nation the futility,
evidenced by history, of the most or
gantzed attempts to suppress her
Understand that | say this not in
threat nor in proud boast OF any
human superiority within our church,

spect of the divine life within us that

Denies South X backward.
II would to God that the combina
tions within your governments and
mine for the pocketing of the Catho-
lie Church had spent their brains,
their time and their money in the
constructive advancement of our
peoples. Our republics would have
even more to boast of than they have
now. ! merely mention in passing the
insulting inSinuation that does not
come from the population of the
United States that you republics of
the south are backward and that you
are backward because you have been
so largely Catholic. We thank God
on this our day of national gratitude
that you are broad and liberal enough
to understand that the Catholic
Church exists within the United States
Of America by the tolerance of no
one and that the attempt to sup

Catholic Church to the self-govern-
ment OF my own nation. The free
institutions of our governments give
almost unlimited opportunity to ma
leVolent citizens to confuse liberty
with license and under the name of
national patriotism and love to oper-
ate against the fundamental princi-
pies OF democracy. 1t is to warn you
against an exaggerated appreciation
of the Americanism and democracy
OF such epidemics that l now speak.
THE primitive Americanism of the
founders of our nation $50 years ago
was not atheistic and it was not anti
Catholic. The Constitution of this
nation was written, not in q spirit of
religious discrimination, but in the
God-given hope that this land would
be the sanctuary for the oppressed
peoples of the world, that they come
here with equal right and that they
remain here with equal right as long,
as their institutions and their re-
ligions do not thwart the purposes of
the land. / shall show presently that
the Catholic Church has never abused
the freedom of this country and that
1t has gone and Will continue to go
to amazing steps to preserve it.
The point | want to make here
is that the Catholic Church is located
in-the United States, not by the hos
pitality or the courteous permission
of any political party or of any re-
and democratic purposes of our gov
eminent. We are pledged to the sep
aration Of church and state, because
it has helped us. We point with
pride to the facts Of our national
history and of present-day life here;
they show that attempts made with
In this nation to mix state politics
with the religion of churches have
not been made and are not being
made by the Catholic Church or it's
representatives We judge such at
temptS undemorratic and unworthy
OF a people that is pledged to sus-
tain tho free institutions of our gov
ernment and the primitive purposes
OF the fathers OF our republic.
Persecution Condemned.
Furthermore we repudiate not
only as undemocratic. but as an i'm
pudent assault on common sense, the

De opposed to democracy. But she

through all prosecutions and changes

sufrendering of principles And these
principles are the rights of govern
ments to the obedience Of their ctti-
Zens and the obligations of citizens
TO law and authority.
rms obedience, 50 necessary to all
government. and particularly vital to
.he permanence of a democracy, is as
permanent and irrevocable in the
Sathollc heart as the soul that in

she would have totally abandoned
lnoSe governments that have so
cruelty sought to crush her. She well
comes the return that prosecuting
governments inevitably make to her.
~ p~ectuse She cannot abandon their
peohies. She wants them not only
lof herself and for the happiness that
she brings to them, but also for the
Gou OF men and nations. 1 repeat
that this interest manifested by the
catholic Church in the success Of re-
pNpllcs is not device of eXpediency;
1t IS inherent In the teachings she re-
celVed from her founder.

Not only Is the Catholic Church in

IL buy high-priced oil because /
want the best l can get for my car
Answer: Don't confuse best" with
highest priced" Zerolcne oils and
greases reduce friction to a greater ex-
tent thar any lubricants we have seen
and tested, or been able to produce for
the automobile, yet they cost about half what
you pay for many other oils. The difference
usually goes into heavy transportation and
marketing costs.
But want parafin base OIL"
Answer: Expert opinion has agreed
that the best crude from which to make
motor oil is Western Naphthenic Crude.
Zcrolene is made from carefully Sc
lected Naphthenic Crude, which pro-
duces lubricants of greater penetrating
or crawling qualities and greater adhesive
ness. For this reason they give better lubrica-
ton. They reduce friction and wear to a mini
mum. Furthermore. they produce less carbon
and are more stable when properly refined.
Truly. you can buy no better oil than Zerolene.
Il have been told that will use more
OF Zerolene than of an Eastern OIL"
Answer: You will not have to buy
more Of Zerolene than of any other oil,
but when you clean out your crankcase
after $50 miles of running, as you should no
matter what oil you use. there may be as much
as 79o less Zerolene in the crankcase than
there would be of some other oils.
The reason for this, which follows, is
highly in favor of Zerolene.
Zerolcne is made in bodies which ena-
crANrr> mr. r
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1923-04-19

bic it to penetrate to all bearing surfaces,
and to keep the pistons and cylinders
well protected with oil. Zerolene does
this constantly because it has the right
body at all operating temperatures. Be
cause IL lubricates the cylinders and pistons so
well and continuously, little Zerolene works
into the combustion chambers with each piston
stroke This oil is then consumed.
Many other higher-priced oils cannot be
permitted to do this, for in burning they would
foul the combustion chambers with an excess
of carbon in very short time.
Like Clean Shooting Ammunition
ESQ to 500 Less Carbon
If there is one sure test of the stability
and purity of an oil, it is in the amount of
carbon it forms. Zerolene oils produce
on an average 5000 less carbon than
other otis. They produce less carbon than any
other oils known to us. With Zerolene lubrica-
ton you will be able to drive your car from ESQ
to 500 farther without having the valves
ground or the cylinders rebored.
zcrolene oil and grease fabrication will give
you greater horsepower at the wheels on the
ground, and thus deliver to you more mileage
from your Red Crown gasoline.
Use Zerolene. 1t will save your car
and your money. Zerolene fabrication
will add years to the life of your car. 1t will
give it greater power and fiexibility, and en-
able you to get greater mileage from your Red
Crown gasoline. II will cut down every item
OF upkeep cost, except storage and polishing.
Insist on Zerolene. Buy by the Chart.
Ask for Zerolene by name.
