The revolution In Mexico IS Dut q
Catholic defiance of q national gov
eminent.
It is the sword Of the church drawn
against the state.
It is the final analysis of the Cath
Ole religion.
It is the effort Of Rome to subju-
gate, with torch and torpedo, a land
it is no longer able to hold with Cross
and Rosary. The Catholic church has
thrown aside its cloak of religious
hypocrisy and drawn a sword.
The monarch of the Vatican is
slashing the bodies of Central Amer
leans who refuse to longer be the
slaves Of his fat priests, or stint and
starve to fill the Golfers of the greedy
Pope overseas.
The Spanish inquisition stalks in
Mexico, and human beings are being
slaughtered for throwing off the
shackles of the Catholic church.
General Obregon, the greatest
Mexican of the century, realized that
his people could never be aught save
poems under the Catholic yoke and he
gave his people religious freedom; he
struck from their minds the shackles
of religious superstition, and gave
them education. He dotted the hills
and valleys of Old Mexico with fed
eral schools; he gave the Mexican
boy and youth chance to win knowl-
edge; he gave the peon a chance in
the fields, and prevented the priests
from hi-jacking him of his earnings;
he brought freedom of body and mind
and purse into Mexico, and gave his
people the only real chance they had
ever had.
He aroused the fierce ire of the
priests, their parochial schools were
all but deserted, their churches were
almost vacant and their Golfers
empty. Their fake pleas for cash to
win surcease of sorrow for those be-
yond the tomb's pale portals fell on
deaf ears. The Mexicans refused to
be mulcted of their money by fat
priests, whose lives were immoral
drunken orgies.
The priests began to plot, and
throughout the nation of Mexico the
Catholic leaders whispered, 1--WE must
destroy the government" and in the
name of the Pope the ruin of a ma
ton was plotted.
Entering Mexico under the guise
of religionist seeking to spread the
Word of God; given freedom to in
culcate their religion into the hearts
of the people of Mexico, it has turned
on the government itself and seeks
it's downfall in the name of the Pope
of Rome.
And as you read these lines some
of you Americans better do a little
thinking on your own account.
Just a little thinking.
Across the shallow Rio Grande the
jannizaries of the Pope are seeking
to overthrow a government.
While the Knights of Columbus are
holding military drills in the name of
the Pope, throughout the public
streets of America, other members of
the same order are seeking to over
throw a government that gave them
shelter, and religious freedom"
I say it is time for Americans to
do little thinking.
Catholics in Ireland revolted
against their government and set up
a nation of their own; Catholics in
Bavaria revolted against their gov
eminent and set up a nation Of their
own; Catholics in Mexico have turned
traitors to the government to which
they loudly protested their allegiance
and are endeavoring to destroy it in
the name of the Holy Rome; Cath
olics in America are trying to de-

MEXICAN REVOLUTION IS RESULT OF
OBRECON'S FIGHT ON R0ME'S RULE
By Col. Billie Mayfield

sooth it dares to stand up and pro-
claim America for Americans and
the inspiration for it all comes from
the same source.
And while these reasonable intri-
CUES go swiftly forward against gov
ernments in which Catholics were
given a welcome, comes the announce
ment that the Pope of Rome claims
sovereignty over the Papal states, a
kingdom that embraces one-haf Of
Italy.
And yet, if we as Americans dare
say aught against the political &C.
tivities of the arch intriguer Of the
world, we are branded intolerant in
the public prints and called foment-
ers of religious prejudice, while the
Jewish press hurls vile anathemas
upon our heads.
If man can't see, with the lights
of Ireland, Bavaria and Mexico far
ing before his face, what the inten-
tions of the Catholics in America
are, he is blind indeed.
AS the Pope has done in Ireland,
in Poland, in Bavaria and in Mexico,
so will he attempt to do in America.
It is as plain as a white star in an
ox's forehead.
You can't get away from it.
The intention of the Pope of Rome
IS to make of America a Catholic
colony, by artful suasion if possible
and shot and shell if necessary.
All of this fight on the Ku Klux
Khan comes hot from Rome.
Every anti-Klan organization that
is formed in America has a back
ground of fat priests, manipulating
the Jewish-bossed daily papers and
controlling the minds of weakened
Protestants.
You know it and I know it.
tell you you can't read the stories
Of Catholic atrocities in ancient days
or right now without being a Klans-
man in your heart. You can't study
how Catholics intrigue for world con-
troll, incite wars, assassination and
destruction of nations, without won
dering why America permits that po-
litical organization to get such a
strangle-hold on the American nation,
or permits the traitorous Catholic
Hierarchy to maintain Offices in
Washington for the purpose Of d.
recting the political affairs Of this
country. Why should a man whose
allegiance is in Rome have aught to
say in the elections in this country?
am seeking you why should he?
Obregon kicked the Pope's personal
representative from Mexico, and the
same should be done in this country.
Religious freedom is one thing, and
paramount allegiance to man over
seas is another thing. The Pope re-
serves the right to control the allegi-
ance to this country, or any other
country of every devout Catholic
within his church, and any man who
fails to accord his Pope that right
is not a devout Catholic.
Every Catholic in Mexico is abb
solved from allegiance to his govern
ment by fat priests.
It is pi.iful!
It is an outrage at which the
Prince of Darkness, himself, must
stand appalled,, that men should enter
a nation under the cloak of religion
and seek to destroy when they have
gained an ascendency.
Again I ask you to look at Ireland,
at Bavaria and Mexico, and think
what is going to happen in America
when the Pope gets control Of the
niggers.
You boys better look out all down
the line.
The facts are too plain to be mis-
taken!

Most Unique Record

I During the 20 years that it has
| been in existence, dating from Octo-
Der II, 1904, the Bank of Italy has
! experienced one of the most inter
esting and spectacular developments
of any bank in the United States.
Here are some of the =" figure
facts - that help to make the insti-
tuition unique:
1t has over half a million deposi-
tors more than any other bank in
the nation, or about One-seventh of
the entire population Of California.
With SO branches, it stands as
America $ chief exponent Of state
wide branch banking.
In point of capital and surplus
$22,500, ,000-it is the largest bank
we"t of Chicago.
Total resources Of approximately
S3oU,UO0,OU0, place it among the
half-dozen leading banks in the
United States--and first outside of
New York and Chicago.
Eastern papers, in commenting on
the growth of the Bank of Italy,
point out that it has multiplied in
size more than 1000 times in the 20
years of it's history. This is Il rec
ord unparalleled in the annals of
American banking.

IS KID M'COY
KIDDING AGAIN,

Local Real Estate Mortgages Are
Good Investments For Most People
Says Roger w. Babson in Report

BABSON PARK, Mass, Oct. II.
Roger W. Babson today pointed
out an opportunity for investors
that is not only safe and profit
able but renders distinct local
service as well.
Bank accounts are the safest
of all investments. Most bonds
are good and many stocks are fair
investments" says Mr.. Babson.
" People should remember. however,
that there are other forms of in
vestment that are also good and
in some cGsrs preferable. The
local real estate mortgage should
not be forgotten. This is especial
ly true in these days when the
field frrthest away looks the green
est to most people. The reat es-
tate mortgage under certain cir
cumstances also has additional ad-
vantages in the matter of return,
margin Of safety, and the effect OF
TIE investment on local business
conditions.
a"Just now when call loans are
being made in New York at from
two p + cent to three per cens
and commercial paper is selling in
all our large cities at aronnd
three and Il haf per cent, good
mortgages are still yielding six per
cent or better. say or bdtter
because in certain sections of the
south and west absolutely safe
mortgages can be secured to yield
seven per rent and even eight per
cent. The farm loan and the' joint
stock banks have changed the farm
mortgage situation somewhai. but
good loans at six per cent are still
available on small houses in the eli
ties and in tho country. These
houses when occupied by the owner
are usually first class security.
Depends on borrower
"In lOaning money on mortgages
a very important factor enters into
the transaction which is often over
looked. For the want of better
name we call in the ethical fac
tor. The value of any mortgage
depends not only upon the real
property behind it but also to a
large extent upon the character of
the borrower. | do not know where
you will find better security for
your money than that offered by
a young man of Christian character

too much to man who lacks in

a chancc of loaning to an honest

90 per cent limit. The banks often
fool themselves by thinking that
