This new doctrine will bring us to the day when our America will be known as a nation of harlots. Yet 30 years ago this man who calls un- natural beastliness by the name of companionate marriage would have been cast out of the nation for his words. And this man of the west has even said that Catholic priests have performed companionate mar riages in which the contracting parties have made the agreement not to have children. Let me assure you, no Catholic priest may perform such d marriage. and Catholics who approach the altar with the agree ment bawe themselves not to have children are not validly married in the Catholic church.
 True, we have Catholic husbands and wives who decide to have so many children. and no more, but they are traitors to their faith. l do not mean that every family should number 10, l2 or l5 children. but l do mean that we demand that no unnatural or artiticial means be taken to prevent the birth Of children"

FEDERAL GUARD IN CHICAGO ELECTION
U. s. Marshal Asks Right to
 Protect Voters

Chicago. March 29 P' - The limited States government today was asked 10 guard Chicago polls April 10 when voters mark their answer to d turbulent. bomb studded primary election cam paign. Palmer Anderson. United States marshal, has forwarded to Wash ington a. recommendation that he be authorized to use 500 deputf nlarshals Tn Chicago that day. The additional officers would have to be specially daputized, aud Anderson asked that he be given that au- thorlty.
 Reply from Denecn The bid for federal action was generally construed as a reply from the Senator Deneen faction of the republican party to the bombing of the senator's home and that of Circuit Judge Swanson Monday night-outrage which they have blamed on followers of the Mayor Thompson States Attorney Grove wing. The latter group has been equally insistent that Deneen fol- lowers themselves tossed the bombs to arouse interest in the Deneen slate.
 Mayors Comment
 Mayor Thompson's comment on the report that federal officials had interested themselves in the elec- tion, brought this statement:
 Charles S. Deneen was states attorney and made himself governor by the indictment route. In my opinion, the people understand his old tricks.
 "Deneen can bring In all the dry agents and deputy marshals he wants, but he will no more get the people to vote for his followers than Attorney General Carlstrom lDeneen candidate for reelection) did when he sent word to our headquarters that If We would not mark our ballots for him he would indict our friends. --.
 ''We sent word back to him: We are not in Russia, and you can 50 to blazes.'"

 The situation upon the major now as follows:

 Tax Reduction

SEES RACE SUICIDE DEATH KNELL 0F US.
Father Hubert DeuounCS Di. YorCe and "Pal" Marriage

In his last Lenten sermon at St Joseph's church last night, Father Hubert of the PaSsionist Order 0. Missionaries Of West Springfield Mas, bitterly assailed that individ, uAl in the west who by his standing and his place in the mind of ths public ought to have known better than to advocate the doctrine o, companionate marriage. Father Hu. bert uttered a prophecy that thu death knell of America will be rune by the practice of race suicide and birth prevention"
 Marriage under the text "Wha' God hath joined together let no man put asunder," Ras the object oi Father Hubert's sermon. Public speakers, he said, when mentioning marriage, had attentive ears becausc his listeners expected something light and frivolous but the question is one Of the most sacred. amidst solemn end most vital that can be proposed
 He termed the advocates of di-
 
 fhe eyes of God. He stated that those who advocate birth control and race suicide are advocating murder. He stated that both acts are direct violations of the commandments of God. Despite tine fact that teach ingD of these practices are coated with sugar. they are still crimes fu, ~ he said.
 He reviewed the history of ancient nations, Rome and Greece, which, he said, fell when their citizens wives abandoned their morals. He stated that America doesn't need q new fangled kind of marriage but 1t does need a return to Gods purpose In joining man and woman together for the propagation of the human race. ''I dare stand here" he said, "and prophecy that America will pass away and on the tombstones over her bones will be the simple words Race suicide, birth preven- tion.'
 Compenionate Marriage Hell Sayors
 Within the past year there has come from the west a man speaking . new doctrine that savers of the teaching of hell. His companionate marriage is merely q. union by which . man may use q woman until he tires of her, or she of him. or until both have satisfied their sexual in sttncts, . union productive only of hate. revenge, jealousy and of minds content with nothing but thoughts of the impure.
 This individual from the west and Ais followers say their companion ute marriage will stop divorces, but how? Because it is going to safe guArd the married woman and the children resulting from the union? No, because it simply means that a man picks up a woman whom he cannot bring anywhere else because she would be called a prostitute and brings her into his home. where he gives her the new social name of wife. But however. Venus-like her figure. however. her face may be like that of a Mona Lisa, she can never hold the man. who will leave her broken body and weakened mind.

speaking. When she replied thai she did not know. the voice said:
 This Is the fellow who bombed your house two days ago. Tell the judge that the next time we will do better job"
 1 Judge Swanson, who is the De neen candidate for nomination as states attorney against the incum- bent. Robert E. Corwe. said he was genuinely concerned over the threat. which he reported to Po- lice Commissioner Hughes. Another Que Threatened

An anonymous let ter said his home would be bombed and one of his children got" Haenisch announced last night that he has taken his three children from school and sent them out of the city until the primaries are over.
 Detectives advanced the theory that politics probably were not di- rectly connected with the Deneen- Swanson bombings. Rather they said, alcohol dealers who blame Senator Deneen for pronounced ac- tivity of federal prohibition agents during the past several months, may have hurled the bombs. seek ing revenge. The same motive is held for the unsolved staying q week ago of the Deneen ward leader, Diamond Joe E,sposito, who fell near his home with 5S shotgun slugs in his body.

 The Crowe- Thompson faction has offered s65.oo0 reward for conviction of the bombers.
 The federal indictment yesterday of Alderman Titus Haffa, Thompson partisan. and nine others on charges of prohibition law violations, was labelled a political plot by HafIa and the mayor.

 The annual business done by the liquor ring with which the govern ment charges those indicted were connected was estimated at more than $l,O00,O00.
 The proposal to enlist federal aid at the Chicago polls was explained as being based upon a recent su- preme court decision which held that primaries are integral parts of elections and therefore subject to federal protection"
 Two yeares ago at a primary cleo tion similar request was made and approved by the attorney general at Washington. Several hundred deputy marshals were ordered to the polls, but last minute order from Wash inston countermanded the authority on the ground that federal participa- ton was not privileged under the laNsat a primary.
