l .J .....--I ..1,. 4. int u..i,tlir anit
where the most attounding revelations of Rome's po
litical rottenness have been made and published to the
world through these columns.
Thousands of Detroit's citizens never dreamed that
the Roman Catholic machine was completely in control
of their politics and their public schools. Other thou
sands knew that things were not as they should be, but
they had never been able to ascertain what was wrong,
so thoroughly does this alien, un-American, undemo
cratic clen cover its tracks and destroy the visible evi
dence of its intrigue.
A reading of the first page story of this Issue of
The Menace will convince any man that the people of
Detroit have not called a halt too early. That they have
called a halt is evidenced by the fact that they are
aroused as they have never been aroused before and are
now organizing for the spring elections, at which time
they plan to dislodge the public schools from the hands
of their sworn enemies, the followers of the pope of
Rome.
The Menace takes pride in the fact, too, that it is
given credit for this awakening. The patriots of Detroit
have distributed The Menace liberally among their fel
lowmen and this, together with our enormous subscrip
tion list in that city, has brought the people to their
senses and to a realization of the danger confronting
them on every hand.
The revelations in this issue concerning the papal
Izing of the public schools of Detroit shows that pretty
soon the work we have Just done would ere long have
been impossible, for the very good reason that within
another generation the city would have been hopelessly
In the hands of papal subjects and all avenues of in
formation leading to the great masses of the people
would, in all likelihood, have been closed forever.
We speak with knowledge and absolute sincerity
when we say that the same, and even worse, conditions
than prevail in Detroit prevail In practically every large
dty in the nation I The writer had a letter last week
from a patriotic publisher In one of the best cities in
thia country In which he stated that neither The Menace
tier any other patriotif-publication could be sold on the
streets, and that it would be dangerous for a man to be

of snarling bishops.
Now. that the United States is

Too keep Roman Catholic youth out
of the Boy Scouts of America, where
tbey might be conttunlnated by con
tact with American Ideas, the car
dinala and bishops are promating a
separate organization of Catholic Boy
Scouts to be composed exclusively of
Catholic boys under a Catholic scout
master and with a priest as chaplain.
Quite appropriate, since this Is the
attitude of Rome toward everything
distinctively American,
Congress has finally mustered the
courage to pass the Immigration bill,
with literacy test, over President Wil
son's veto. Papists have already de
clared their intention to have the new
immigration law set aside by the su
preme court, and It remains to be seen
whether that tribunal has been suffi
ciently Romanised to further delay
the will of the people.
ATTENTION, PATRIOTS
, OF MASSACHUSETTS
Judge Gilbert 0. Nations to Speak
fa Boston ou February 22nd
at Peoples' Temple
Washington's Birthday will be fit
tingly observed by the patriots ol
Boston. They have arranged lor a
treat natriotic meetlnr to be ad
dressed by Judge Gilbert O. Nations,
vice-president or the a rt rress de
fense League. This meeting will be
held in the People's Temple at 2:30
on Feb. 22d. Judge Nations' subject
will be "Jesuitical Interference with
Our Federal Affairs in Washington.H
In Chicago on Jan. 80th Judge
Nations aroused great enthusiasm
and the patriots of that city are
planning for his return, as two-thou
sand persons were turned away from
the three halls in Masonic Hall, where
he spoke.
Every patriot within the radius ot
greater Boston should arrange to hear
this distinguished lawyer and author,
who during the past year has made
a personal study of Rome's entrench
ment in our national capital. Nor is
this all, each patriot should arrange
to take at least one una wakened Prot
estant with him to attend this lecture.
In so doing the New Reformation
movement will receive new Impetus in
New England an impetus somewhat
similar to that which has already
marked it in Detroit and Chicago and
wherever monster meetings have been
held in this mighty campaign which
promises to awaken sleeping rrotes
tantism and arouse the conscience of
the nation as it has not been aroused
in fifty years.

lives at 260 Twenty-eieht street. De

thousands of superstitious Roman
Catholic neighbors who made the
girl's life miserable until driven away

ported to this country to "make Amer

to see the srirl who they thought had
been changed to a bear because she
had eaten a wafer from the Roman
Catholic altar. And such creatures
of ismorance and superstition are ad

much-vetoed literacy test, though la

with running their prisons, and hold

They tried to fortify their graft by
the enactment of a law to punith any

died before its birth, to the satisfac

The above clinDinir from the Krin&ai
City Star for February 3, 1917, seem
ingly, at least, records a partial if not
total awakening to the menace con
fronting the most necessary of all
truly American institutions in Brook
lyn, N. Y.
This condition, however, is not con
fined to Brooklyn alone, nor does the
phrasing ""Canadian, English, French,
and German" tell the whole story. It
is perfectly sate to assume that 99
out of every 100 of these Canadian,
French, English and German teachers
are likewise Catholics, placed in posi
tions by the Roman hierarchy in a
manner diffenne very little if any
from the way the same result has been
obtained in Detroit, as described in
this issue.
Is it not sufficiently hazardous to
place a so-called citizen-Romanist in
such positions without aggravating
the case by placing a Romanist in
charge of our children who makes no
pretentions at citizenship?
Catholic teachers in our nubile
schools who are not pretending citi
zenshipon the face of thines owe
allegiance to the fatherland, to say
nothing of the "first allegiance" they
owe and pay to the papal sovereignty:
which places alleziance to America
and American ideals in rank for third
consideration.
Truly, we. as a neoule. shall in the
last analysis be unworthy of the heri
tage so dearly purchased by the
fathers unless we arouse from our
lethargy and defend as well as seek
to advance the public schools, instead
of permitting the minions of a foreign
potentate to undermine, the entire sys
tem.
When we have successfully elimin
ated all subjects of foreign interests,
such as kings, popes and czars, from
positions of trust in our public
schools, then it will not be unwise to
direct our attention to the parochial
school; for if we find so much that is
foreign in our public school, what
must conditions be in these schools
which were reared to compete with
and supplant the public school?
Erected in the interest of a foreigft
sovereign who lays claim to rule the
world by divine right, surely the
parochial school must be as entirely
foreien to American ideals in pnnci
pie, teachings, and teachers, as is the
most un-American or all organiza
tions, the Roman Catholic church,
from whence it sprung.
The pope's priests say that the
women, whom they have imprisoned
in convents, do not desire freedom.

This bill is expected to pass and
become a law, though it will encounter
all the opposition papist politicians
can organize, Just as the Bowman Bill
did. Information from Salem is to the
effect that Rome mustered all its un
holy forces at Salem in a supreme
effort to defeat the Bowman law; but,
although several who should have sup
ported it were too weak to withstand
papist pressure, overwhelming public
sentiment was victorious.
It is to be hoped that the great state
of Oregon may consistently continue
in its progressive course; and provide
promptly for the establishment and
maintenance cf all institutions needed
for the correction of delinquents. It
is beneath the dimity of any common
wealth to farm out its wards of an

profit-makers. -
FORD AUTOMOBILE PLANT
HONEYCOMBED WITH SUB
JECTS OF THE POPE
Papists and Jesuits Shrewdly Con
trol the Situation in Great In
dustrial Plant in Spite of the
Ousting of Couzens
The greatest employment industry
in Detroit is the Ford Automobile
works. Under Mr. Ford's beneficent
rule it has become the mecca for thou
sands of foreien-born. along with the
hundreds of American born who are
fortunate enough to be on its payroll
Necessarily, the head of such a great
industry must delegate the details of
its management to sub-heads; and
necessarily, thousands of things will
occur incidental to the business that
the head will not know. Consequent
ly we cannot condemn Mr. Ford per
sonally for what subordinates do un
known to him.
The great trouble with Mr. Ford is
the same one that besets all great
men. They surround themselves with
a wall of seclusion that makes it im
possible for the public or its repre
sentatives to reach them. It is just
as difficult to secure an audience with
Henry Ford or reach him through the
mails, as it is to reach President Wil
son. His secretaries do all the censor
ing and consequently, much of the
bUUl&lIlC..
This condition is particularly un
fortunate when the man is a public
philanthropist and
benefactor. The
Lord has probably sent Mr. Ford
many messages through humble in
struments that never reached him. We
trust this one belongs to that class
but, will reach him. When Mr. James
Couzens was manager rf the Ford
plant, it was pretty thoroughly Ro
manized. In the reorganization fol
lowing Mr. Couzens' retirement, an
effort was made to counteract this
error at the behest of patriotic cit
izens but the house-cleaning ended al
most where it began ; the power of se
lection and promotion still rests large
ly with Rome. There are a number
of American-born Protestants in the
plant and some loyal patriots, but
safety compels quietness. Strong ef
forts have been made to oust those
who dared speak their convictions;
doubtless many lost their positions be
cause of loyalty to American princi
ples. The claim has lately been made
that there is no longer favoritism in
selection, so the writer tried it out
and got first hand information. Ap
plication was made in good faith and
in the proper manner. Reference was
given to heads higher up that knew
of our Ford-Peace propaganda press
work. In due time an acknowledgement
was received. Later an investigator
called to make a personal report A
good impression was made and words
favorable were spoken until the gen
tleman saw a Detroit reform news
paper lying on the floor. .He at once
changed the subect and asked about
the paper, bringing out the fact that
the' applicant wrote for that paper. As
soon as he learned of this, he lost all
interest in the case, made a few notes
on his card and rising to go, said in
substance, "Of course, you may not
be called. Investigation does not nec
essarily mean employment Don't be
disappointed if you do not hear fur
ther." The writer knew the judgment
was final as well as did the investiga
tor.. Loyalty to Rome was greater to
this man than loyalty to Ford.
But these business conditions are
only minor issues. If Mr. Ford chose
to employ only Roman Catholics that
would be his privilege. It is the polit
ical issue that interests us, such as
transforming the subjects of the for
eien napal sovereignty into voting cit
izens of the U. S. by hothouse or forced
growth methods. To accomplish this
end, so much desired by the priests
and Irish Catholic politicians,-they
have established schools of parrot-like
instruction, that will enable the igno
rant foreigner to pass a political ex
amination before the Rome "controlled
political judge or board that examines
him. In this manner, thousands of
foreigners who cannot read or write
the English language; who know
nothinff of our nrincinlea of srovern
ment or national needs, and who are ,
out of all harmony and sympathy wiu
Amerlcan freedom as voiced 'in our'
free schools, free press or f re sneech, j
are given equal franchise with the in-1
telligent and patriotic native-born.
Tha lowest of these can use his bal
lot at the behest of the ward boss and
kill the vote of the greatest and best
man in America even that of Mr.
Ford himself so low have we fallen
as a nation. . '
These men may be (rood as work
men for Mr. Ford but they are not
good as voting citizens for the United
tatee. They are the victims of su-
Serstltion and greed; a good share of
lelr wages must go to the priest er
the manv demands of tha so-called
church. If they fail to reverence,' obey
and pay, the chances are they will
soon lose their Job and be threatened
with the torments of purgatory In
definitely. These are the kind of peo
ple that send their children to paid
parochial schools and thus rob, them
of the blessings of an American
FREE school education. Tbey fear
the priest and they fear purgatory;
and they always vote as they are told
We are quite sure if Mr. Ford thor
oughtly -understood the situation,
his plant would no longer be
so accommodating to these tnade-to-order,
hurry up, subjects of Rome
citizens. The native-born male has to
wait 21 years before casting a vote,
and the most intelligent females are
Just securing the ballot in . some
places, and it was Roman Catholic
politics that held them back so long.
But the ignorant Roman Catholic for
eignernone other mind you gets in
his little vote at from one to five yean
according to local conditions. Non
Catholic nations do not enjoy this lux
ury; the Japanese, Chinese, East In
dian, Egyptian, etc., etc., for instance.
Nine times out of ten it is the Ro
man Catholic foreigner that gets the
job and vote.
The men who are at the head of this
movement in the Ford plant, as else
where, are generally professedly Prot
estant and patriotic; they really think
they are doing their country a good
service, but to the instructed It "is
simply a case of Jesuits pulling the
string and the little Protestant Jacks
doing the dancing. If Rome did the
work in the open, the country would
soon be up in arms and they know it;
there are none so wise with the wis
dom of Satan as the Jesuits, and none
so foolish as Cur blind friends who
permit such conditions without pro
test All the great prison and semi-prison
institutions of Rome in Detroit
which are run as religious houses ana
church benefactions were largely built

Protestants. Jesuitical deceit and
fear of K. of C. ruffianism draw thera

Business Detroit are absolutely at the
mercy of Jesuitical Rome. It is for
permitting his great plant to-be used
as a school and refuge to give Rome
more votes and power in Detroit, that
we take issue with Mr. ' Ford. Rome
wants just three things: money,
power and to be let alone. Every na
tion that has gone down under Roman
Catholic dominion testifies to these
attributes of the papacy.

Would You Like to Know
Judge Gilbert O. Nations Makes in His
CONSTITUTION OR POPE?
Mr. Nations as a lecturer, as vice-president of The Free Press De
fense League and as director of the League's Washington Bureau, is a
person of commanding prominence in this mighty patriotic movement and
has advanced some of the most unanswerable arguments against Rome
that have ever been made.
- In his book "Constitution or Pope" Mr. Nations presents the most
able brief treatise dealing with papal soverclgi.-y and our. federal con
stitution that has ever been written. It is upon this phase of Catholicism
and his contact with papal aggressions in the national capital that Judgo
Nations has spokan so forcibly in Chicago and elsewhere,. . -
Every patriot in America should own a copy of Constitution or Fppe,
It eomes in two bindinsrs.
