the bull moose found his best pastur-

Each of these movements, futile in
itself, left a permanent impression
upon politics of the country and its

demand for direct election of United
States senators, the passage of the in

A JUDGE VS.. JUSTICE

Kansas City, Motifs perfectly all
right for Catholic firms to fill their
windows with rosaries, prayer books
or sacred shin bones if they so desire.
Likewise Hebrew business firms
may exhibit kosher advertisements
and even Aaron's beard, if they see
fit, without the slightest fear Of be-
ing assassinated for the act.
But when a native-born Protestant
American dares to exercise similar
privileges by placing a souvenir of
Americas greatest fraternal order on
display in Kansas City, the matter is
entirely different.
He not only is denied redress by
the courts when his place of business
is damaged, but is "cussed" out by
the court as we'll when he goes there
seeking justice.
Charles Thompson, proprietor Of a
store at 305 West 18th street, is the
victim in this case.
J. M. Kennedy, Papal pawn, is the
judge in question.

ASPRESIDENI WASHINGTON ENFORCED THE LAW

The call to enforce the prohibition
law recalls the story of the Whisky
Rebellion in Eastern Pennsylvania
during George Washington's term in
the executive chair.
The upheaval was caused by gov
eminent tax levied against distiller-
les. President Washington himself
took charge of the enforcement of
the law.
En- route west to the scene Of the
rebellion, President Washington was
met by the officials and citizenry of
Harrisburg, and their address Of well

FIRST. ATTACK THE HOME

an artificial spirit of worldly wiseness
in the young, by all the processes of
divorce, entertainment, bad literature
and the general trivializing of our
common life, the doors have been
opened to other and more degenera-
tive influences in the general social
life. ..--.
It is a matter of common observa-
ton over a long period that the so
cial fabric begins to rot with the
weakening of the home. The best
defense of law and order and pro-
gressive justice is the success of
those elements which defend and
strengthen the home. We could well
afford in this country for the next
decade to regulate all our industry
and politics and finance with one sim
gle paramount object in mind, the
welfare Of the home.
Nothing is more useless than plati-
tudes on this subject. Attend first
to the welfare of the home, put a
sound economic condition around all
its spiritual elements, and upon our
economic consideration we shall find
the other elements growing to IN
paralleled strength. As long as the
American home stands, this nation
never will succumb to the poisonous
airs with which satanic forces are
now filling the world.-Dearnborn In

Years ago there was great deal
of talk about "the home" Few peo-
pie paid any attention to it. Most
of the utterances made concerning
home too much resembled preach
ment to be effective-that is, things
said because they were expected to
be said. But today we are all in a
better position to understand what
was meant-we have seen the nations
of well-established homes weather
the most terrible cataclysms Of his
tory, and the homeless nations fall.
Each home is a root Of the national
tree, and the tree holds by the num-
Der and strength of it's roots.
Sinister confirmation of these
truisms has come in the subversive
influences which are at work in the
as yet mistaken nations. The first
attack is made on the home. All of
the destructive social movements are
sponsored by the people Of nations
which had more novels than homes
because they were hovel-making in
stead of home-making peoples), and
it is significant that in this country
the work of destruction is taken up
by those who prefer transient habi-
tations to homes. The home, like the
church, is under fire because it pre-
sents a bulwark against the subver-
sive forces Of the world. BY cheap

At the last presidential election
less than half the people who were
qualified voted. More than 26 million
did not vote. Less than that number
did vote. A majority of the minority
rule this country. The worst element
votes-those who desire laws adopt
ed that gives them special privileges;
or laws repealed that deprive them
of special privileges; or officers elect
ed who will wink at crime. The
bought vote, the corrupt vote, is al
ways in the ballot box.
If everyone refrained from voting,
as the majority of our people do, our
government would fall, for it is based
on exercise of the franchise.
A ringing call from the National
League of Women Voters meets with
heartiest approval. Among the in
spring proceedings at the recent an
nual convention held at Des Moines,
Iowa, none outranks the sturdy reso-
luton of the women to bring out at
least rs Fer cent of the qualified
voters in the 1924 election.
If Great Britain can bring out 80
per cent of the voters and Germany
80 per cent, we surely ought to be
able to reach rs per cent. Yet in
the last presidential election a poor
40 per cent of eligible voters cast
their ballots. Less than this percent
age Of voters was registered at the
polls in state elections for governor,
and much less in local elections. The
situation loudly demands improve
ment.
It seems almost grotesque that
men, who would doubtless risk their
very lives to maintain the right of
suffrage, show so little interest in
exercising that right. In their own
way, women fought with equal ear
nestness to secure the ballot. Yet
they, 90, have been lacking when it
came to using it. The recent hotly
contested senatorial election in Min
nesota brought out apparently less
than half the eligible voters. Men
and women hold the illogical position
of being ready to do and dare all for
the principle of representative gov
eminent, and being too Indifferent to
exert the little energy that would
make it working fact.
When 40 per cent or less of the
qualified voters cast their ballot we
get minority rule. There must be a
great lack of right understanding so
to hold back the tardy voters. They
fail to realize just what opportunities
they are neglecting and just how
their votes could better conditions.
Government, after all, seems to
many far away sort of authority in
which they have little personal in
terest. Shrouded in mystery, it is
quite beyond the powers, and almost
beyond the concern, of ordinary NOR
tails. It doesn't seem to them to
touch their daily lives at all.
Nothing could be further from the

promises to do all in the power of
the citizenry of Harrisburg to uphold
the tax law and other laws of the
land and ito support the happy Con-
stitution and wise administration of
our government"
In Wa"hington's day the struggle
was to resist a tax upon distillers.
The government, after more than a
century of tax enforcement, is now
striving to abolish the traffic then
recognized. In Washington's day,
while the states were yet jealous of
the rights reserved to them, the local
governments thus upheld the govern
ment in the enforcement of Federal
law. Today, after taking the matter
of sumptuary legislation away from
the state, the national and local gov
ernments are passing the buck" in

THE WANTONNESS OF
THE LITERARY DIGEST

(From The Protestant, Nov, 1929
Nothing could demonstrate much
more conclusively the abject slavery
of THE LITERARY DIGEST to
Rome than its handling of the usur-
patton and defiance of law in Okla
homa by Governor John C. Walton,
brother-in-law to the Church Of
Rome.
On September 20 that magazine de-
voted two pages to press comment,
supplemented by it's own, on the Ok
lahoma Governors terrorism and de-
fiance of the Legislature in his fur
ious effort to exterminate the Ku
Klux Khan. After devoting virtual
ly all that space to utterances of the
controlled press most VIGOROUSLY hos
tile to the Klan, the DIGEST pretend
ed to give "what Khan representatives
have to say by devoting one inch of
space to a brief excerpt from COL
ONEL MAYFIELD'S WEEKLY at
Houston.
The Mayfield periodical is not a
Khan publication at all, though under
stood to be friendly to that organiza-
ton. THE PROTESTANT knows that
the DIGEST had a brief but power
full telegram sent to it personally by
the editor of THE FIERY CROSS
at Indianapolis, which is an official
Klan publication. But that temper
ate and truthful and whitening mess
age was too forceful. THE DIGEST
dared not use it.
Neither did it dare quote from the
DAILY OKLAHOMAN leading news
paper in Oklahoma, though that pa
per had wired messages to the daily
press beyond the borders of the State
in order to correct the misinformation
so industriously disseminated. Nor
did the DIGEST dare quote the daily
TULSA TRIBUNE, on which Gov
ernor Walton had fastened military
censorship and threatened to suspend
the paper for publishing the truth.
The field of controlled journalism
contains no more dangerous publica-
ton than THE LITERARY DIGEST.
Its pretense of candor and impartial
ity is carried out with enough clever
ness that honest and unsuspecting
people in general do not suspect and
are reluctant to believe that it's slav-
cry to Rome is total and unmitigated.
By that policy it worms its way into
many public schools to warp and poi
son the plastic minds of boys and
girls in the interest of political Ro-
manism.
On a former occasion that maya
zine, after publishing many columns
of mendacious assertions against Pro-
testant activities, ventured to give
brief statement by Rev. Bob Shuler.
The papal lash instantly whipped the
offending DIGEST into abject apology
and penance in sack cloth and ashes.
1t will probably not be required thus
to humiliate itself because of the one
inch given to an outside statement in
defense of the Khan after using two
pages against the hated patriotic
body.

BILL
ISSUE IN CONGRESS
Traitors to Little Red School House
Can Be Only Means in De-
feating Measure

Washington, D. C.-With TAO Pro-
testants and only AZ Catholics in the
6Sth Congress, which assembled here
Monday, only powerful underground
lobby that would turn Protestants
traitor to the public school will be
possible to defeat the Education bill
providing for federal aid to public
schools and a secretary of education
in the presidents cabinet.
AS Congress opened it was the plan
to introduce the bill Immediately and
press the measure to a speedy issue.
The bill will be constructed similar
to the Towner-Sterling Educational
bill of the last Congress. Senator
Sterling was to introduce the issue
in the Senate. Judge Towner, who
introduced the measure in the House
in the last session, is now governor
of Porto Rico.
President Coolidge has promised
serious and favorable consideration
of the measure to delegation rep
resenting educational and other or
CARNATIONS favorable to the bill, with
total membership of over $500, 900,
which waited upon him with DR..
George D. Strayer of New York, pre-
senting the matter.
The Educational bill is the greatest
matter of interest in the eyes Of
Protestant America that will come
before the present Congress. The
next in Importance is the considera-
tion of an immigration quota to re-
place the 8 per cent restriction which
will soon expire.
Catholic America, which was suffi-
GENTLY strong to cause the Towner-
Sterling bill to die in committee dur
ing the last Congress, is watching the
present session with the same inter
est that Professionalism is manifesinp.
but with the sole aim of defeating the
measure.
The summary of the personnel in
the 6Sth Congress would assure the
success of the Educational bill.
Failure in passage will mean but one
thing-that many Protestant sena-
tors and representatives have turned
traitor o heir faih and the little red
school house. ~ 81.
