Wants Ii Let Alone

Gentlemen, let this thing alone!
If it is wrong there is still patriot
ism enough in America to shelve it.
Something has called it forth at this
time. You read, you ponder-can't
you grasp it? Protect our schools.
Quit assaulting Protestant ministers
by club and pen, do your best to
obey the laws, give capital and labor
their just dues, read and act for
yourself stop allowing the other fell
low to do it for YOU, and this~''men-
ace" will cease.
But until you do this I'm very
much afraid you'll have to endure
it for some time. for the spirit of
justice and freedom still survives
and there you are. This calling OF
names and assaulting of peaceable
gatherings only shows where tho
intolerance really lies. AS the time
seems to have arrived when native
born, white Professionals can't hold
meetings without being murderously
set upon, so the time has also ar
rived for your so-called menace" to
act. Don't drive it too far!
