OMAN CATHOLIC press,
priests and politicians are now
busy protesting their loyalty
to the government in the pres
ent international crisis. . To
paraphrase a famous remark, there
seem good reasons to suspect that
they protest too much. It would be
very interesting if the public could
know how many of those who have
been arrested for conmlicitv in the
disastrous explosions in this country
recently are Roman Catholics. Vir
tually all of those so arrested have
foreign names, and the probabilities
are that many of them are more
loyal subjects of the pope than of the
kaiser.
The papal gang in this country will
use the present crisis to the utmost in
their frantic effort to hamper and de
stroy the present arousal of the peo
ple against their political intrigues.
10 this end, they will declare that
labor and capital have for the time

now the only discordant element

our public affairs. It is believed that
very few patriots will be deceived by
this characteristic Jesuitical hypoc
risy. The determination of the pope, the
kaiser and the Austrian emperor to
subjugate and Romanize the little and
helpless Balkan States forced this
monstrous war upon the human race.
More than fifty per cent of the total

POWER OF DEMOCRACIES TO
DEFEND HUMAN LIBERTY.
Having embroiled the world in this
awful cataclysm, the papal machine
is actively charging Protestants with
responsibility for the stupendous con-
nict. lhe Roman Catholic Volks Zei
tung of Berlin has recently declared
that Freemasonry has brought on the
war. In this connection the Berlin
mouthpiece of the papacy alleges that
President Wilson, Mr. Bryan ami
Colonel Roosevelt are Masons and
primarily responsible for the war and
particularly for .American participa
tion in it. Jho papal hierarchy in
this country is , now lying awake
nights to devise plans whereby the
Knights of Columbus may obtain com
missions and official power in the
American army. '
The daily press has mentioned in
conspicuously of late that Cardinal
Farley of New York City refused to
sign the declaration of loyalty which
is being circulated and presented for
Signatures of citizens in New York by
the mayor's committee on national de
fense. The Rome-serving press makes
the insincere excuse that the cardinal
refused to sign the document for fear
of inflaming the people and exciting
the war spirit. But the true reason
for his refusal to sign is that the
Church Council of Clermont in the
year 1095, by direction of Pope Urban
II, enacted a law forbidding any ec
clesiastic to take an oath of fealty to
any lay sovereien or any civil govern
ment. Every cardinal, bishop and.
priest of Rome throughout the world
is bound absolutely by that law.
Cardinal Farley's action ' and the
palpable absurdity of the excuses ad
vanced by the pro-papal press created
s distinctly unfavorable impression in
the public mind. So we find that on
Saturday night, Aprir 14th, the car
dinal gave out a letter to be read at
the mass on the following morning
enjoining loyalty ti the flag. In the
meantime popular Roman Catholic
journals, especially the Celtic Catholic
papers, are faithfully reflecting the
bitter sneer of the pope's own' organ,
me usxervaiore Komano, which we
published last week. Thus we find the
well-known Roman Catholic paper, the
Gnlic American, the journal of the
Clan-na-Gael of New York, saying
editorially:

Roman cardinals and bishops are
seeking to deceive the people by stat
ing in their official newspapers that
many Roman Catholics, including
priests, are now fighting on the bat
tlefields and in the trenches of Prot
estant nations in Europ Protestant
nations are the only ones in which
priests do serve in the army. The
pope makes treaties with Roman
Catholic nations exDresslv exeniDtinz
the priests from military service; but
the Protestant nations that are fight
ing for thwr existence and for hu
manity have conscripted, all available
men for sen-ice at the front. In this
universal conscription, a few priests
have probably been caught and forced
into the trenches. Forced to choose
between the trenches and a court mar
tial for treason, the average priest
would probably choose the trenches.
Rome Would Unify Church and State arid

Holiday Hulbert Would Repeal Literacy Test and Taboo "America"

N the first day of the present
session, Roman Catholic sen
ators and representatives
flooded both houses of con
gress with bills in tha nnliriool
v eaa ivtiviVHt
interest of their snvprpio-n nnntitr
While some of these bills simnlv

Catholic church the three Irish car

more, New York and Boston are not
only princes in the papal empire but
are members of the pope's imperial
cabinet. It is not strange therefore
that Representative James A. Galli
van, who 60 faithfully represents the
Irish papal prince located at Boston,
should promptly renew his efforts to
open the national treasury to papal
hands. Gallivan is the papist who
vainly introduced in congress two suc
cessive bills to destroy the freedom of
the press which our Conntitntinn Tim.
vides. On the first day of the present
session he added to his past faithful
service of the papacy in congress, by
introducing a bill (II R. 84) author
izing the secretary of Die treasury to
select and pay private institutions for
the treatment of alleged tuberculosis
patients in all parts of the United
States. .
On the same rlnv 7?onrooontoH
John F. Raker of California and Rep
resentative Carl Hayden of Arizona
introduced bills (U. R. if) nnrl tt n
285) perfectly identical with each
other in both substance and form,
though slightly different in verbiage
from Gallivan's bill, but seeking also
to permit private tuberculosis hos
pitals to receive funds from the secre
tary of the treasury. Two days later
Roman Catholic Senator- Han v
Ashurst of Arizona introduced in the
senate a bill (S. 716) precisely ideri
tical with those introduced in the
house by Hayden and Raker. The
number of these bills, their idantitv
form and substance and the
promptness of their introduction at-'
test the political hunger of the Ro
man wolves for the contents of tha
national treasury and the determina
tion of the hierarchy to lose no time
in appeasing that hunger.
It would seem that the militant Ro-'
man Catholics in the second Cali
fornia district ought to be' satisfied
with this effort of ReDresentative
Raker to tap the treasury of the
United States. But on the
he introduced another bill CH. R. 2491
to authorize the government to donate
2560 acres of land to any fraternal or
benevolent organization or society for
sanitarium purposes.
It is well in this connection to re
mind the public of conditions disclosed
In Roman Catholic Institutions in
Greater New York by an official probe

that great metropolis charged ' the
msyer with trying to get the love of
Christ out of the hearts of inmates of
those institutions, the mayor retortel
that he was only trying to get the lice
out of their hair. It should be re
membered also that disclosures pub
lished in the New Yo'-k Herald and
not successfully denied indicate that
seventy percent of the inmates of Ro
man Catholic tuberculosis hospitals in
Greater New York are simply dead

city treasury of Greater New York
for support of hit Institutions in that
city, Rome is hungry for a similar
pipe-line into the treasury of the
United States.
To Make
"Columbus
Holiday
Day" a
While launching so many offensives
against the national treasury, the Ro
man politicians have not overlooked
the promotion of papal politics in
other directions. The new representa
tive from the thirteenth district of
Greater New York, Christopher D.
Sullivan, on the first day of the ses
sion, introduced a bill (H. R. 202) to
make October 12 a national holiday in
honor of Christopher Columbus, whose
career in the West Indies was dis
graced 1 by his kidnapping unarmed
and helpless natives and carrying
them away to die in bondage. .
It would seem that the Roman
Catholic prince of New York was not
satisfied with one measure to magnify
the patron saint of the criminal
Knights of Columbus, for on the same
day Representative Isaac Siegel of the
twentieth New York district also in
troduced a bill to make "Columbus
Day," as the papists call it, a na
tional holiday. Though a Jew, Siegel
has been very faithful to the Roman
nrince during his term in congress.
He was the first member to introduce
a bill in the last congress to destroy
our Constitutional .freedom of the
press. It would seem that two meas
ures designed to make October 12 a
national holiday 'fell short of the
wishes ' of the New York Roman
prince and his political handmaiden,
Tammany Hall, for on the same day
Roman Catholic Representative Daniol
J. Griffin of the eighth district of that
city also introduced a bill (H. R. 68)
for the same purpose.
Would Destroy Patriotic Hymn
For twenty years the Roman Cath
olics have sought diligently to destroy
the popularity of the hymn "America"
because good citizens are necustomed
to sing that hymn in Protestant and
patriotic gatherings. With that end
In view, they have diligently sought
for years the adoption of some other
hymn as a national anthem by act of
congress. Another representative of
the New York principality of the
papal empire, Representative George
Murray Hulbert of the twenty-first
New York district, introduced on the
first day of the present session a bill
(H. R. il) to make tho "Star
Spangled Banner" eur national an
them. Papists do not seem to under
stand that their constant assault en
our most popular national anthem
serve only to Increase its popularity,
To Repeal Literacy Test
On the same lay Mr, Hulbert also
Introduced a measure (H, R. Co) to
repeal the literacy test In the Immi
gration Bill, That literacy test has
been a painful them in the flesh of
the Roman hierarchy for many years.

Ihey declare that the test requiring
immigrants to show ability to read a
few words in some language would
shut out all immigrants coming from
Roman Catholic lands. In this com
plaint they admit that Protestant
countries teach their people to read
while Roman Catholic countries do
not. Yet Rome insists that state edu
cation is essentially vicious and that
our school systems ought to be Ro
manized. When the Immigration Bill
was pending in congress, the opposi
tion to it came almost exclusively
frtfm the great Roman Catholic cities
presided over by enthroned Roman
princes.
- Manifestly, the dominant purpose
of most Roman Catholics in congress
is to obtain legislation of the char
acter indicated by the foregoing bills.
Efforts to accomplish this are often
made in concealed clauses and sinister
provisions so placed in statutes as to
escape detection. It is hoped by this
method to thwart the vigilance of
true citizens and circumvent the pub
lic with clever Jesuitical tricks. The
only safe remedy for this persistent
effort is to' retire all subjects of the
crowned and enthroned ruler of the
papal empire to private life.
ROME AND CHICAGO'S
GREAT POLITICAL SCANDAL
(Continued from Page 1)
confessing to paying graft money, do
ing the "shaking down," etc., are
largely Roman Catholic gentlemen of
leisure who thrive off fallen women
together with various "plug uglies,"
crooks, and other inhabitants of the
underworld, whose words would be
Questioned before the, very throne of
God. y
A leading Chicago editor told the
writer in private, that if State's At
torney Hoyne really wanted to clean
up tho grafters in Chicago he could
investigate the city hall crowd of Ro
man Catholic politicians and send half
of thorn to prison. He said: "Every
body wha. thinks, knows this. Why
don't he do it?" The reason, to a
careful student of conditions, is that
to do so would be in violation of his
agreement with his backer Arch
bishop Mundclein ifiid might involve
himself.
Ex-Chief of Police Healey
The latest and most sensational
graft exposure to the credit of Mr,
Hoyne is the arrest, and ousting from
office of chief of polloe Chas, C,
Healey. Healey Is not a Roman Cath
olic, but a high degree Mason.
Whether he Is guilty or not Is a mat
ter of speculation among the people of
Chicago, It is said that twenty-five
years ago when he went Into the
police department he went in as an
honest man and he is thought by
many to have remained so, But he
has been surrounded for years with
political Rome's graft, "shake-downs"
and corruption, and as a result of this
influence may have fallen by the way
side. .
A part ef the political system of
the city haB been the "shaking down"
of gamblers, unlawful saloon, and
dive keepers for the purpose ef meet
ing the campaign expenses and swell
ing the bank accounts of politicians.
Healey may, in line with others, in
cluding it is said, Hoyne himself,
have been guilty of this practice and
if so should be prosecuted BUT SO
SHOULD ALL OTHER FLAGRANT
LAW VIOLATORS.
The fact of the matter is that at
this time there is only one self-con1-fessed
witness of importance who
claims to have paid money to Healey
and that is one Tom Costello,- a ward
heeler and underworld crook and
"fixer" whose reputation is already so
obnoxious that alittle thing like con
fession to bribing a chief of police
would in no wise damage him. Of
course he is in no danger of going to
the penitentiary, any more than were
a hundred otheiof the stool-pigeons
ana seir-coniessed bribers, robbers
and corruptionists to whom Hoyne
has given immunity for testifying
against office holders for whom Rome
and the attorney were out with an
axe. . ' .
Costello may be 'held" at one of the
leading hotels where his expenses
even to the having of his finger nails
manicured, will be paid by the county,
as was the case with Eddie Mack, the
chief of the Washington Park Bank
robbery, who it has been charsred
framed the bank robbery in order to
give Hoyne and others of his machine
in the police department dope for
campaign and promotion purposes. To
say the least it was a very course
piece of work and the hero of 'the
capture of Mack himself, near the
place of the robbery, was none other
than the famous raddie Lavin, known
as " raddie the Pig," a captain of
police and the uncle of Hoynes pri
vate secretary, Ldw. Fleming, the
man "the guiding stars" are said
to have been grooming for the
job of chief of police. The partici
pants in the robbery, brought to Chi
cago by Eddie Mack from New York,
confessed and were sent to Johet.
More Questionable Benefits
In this same connection many men
tion the cases of Nathan Steinberg
and Isadore Wexler whose hotel bill
for nine weeks cost the tax payers of
the county 1780.00. And there have
been many others who were hard
ened criminals with lonfir police roc
ords who have been given immunity
- . L TV.
ior testuying against men noyne was
alter.
Take the case of "Cock-eye" Gold
stein, who has been a "fence" in Chi-
cago for twenty years and is as dan
gerous a crook as ever escaped tha
penitentiary, iie "confessed" to Bay
ing "hush and bribe money" to Jas.
Odea Storen, of the police, force of
Chicago for S3 years without having
ever been called before the trial board.
Stolen silks and other goods were
found in his establishment which he
was permitted to retain And the own
era name not even inquired about. He
was given immunity and is said to be
today plying the same underworld
vocation he has .been plying for
years and doubtless has disposed of
tne goods he was permitted to keep.
Equally as questionable benefits to
society have been accomplished when
men with long sentences to their
credit have been taken from the peni
tentiary and riven immunity for tes
tifying against officials who were po
litical enemies of the state's attorney,
and men who have been caught red-
handed and belonged in the peniten
tiary have, provided they would
swear they had paid bribe money to.
or otherwise incriminate men whom
the state? attorney wanted to ret.
been turned lose to continue their own
lawless enterprises.
ihat men have been offered Im
munity if they would testify falsely
against omciais is openly charged by
itev. u. L. Williams of the Grace
Methodist church. He calls attention
to the sworn affidavit of one Morris
Klciman who over his signature swore
that he belonged to a gang of burg
lars among: them beintr Ike Kominskv.
Nathan Steinberg, Isadore Wexler,
Harry Green and the Mendelson
brothers, and that he saw money paid
to Henry E. Berger, one of Hoyne's
leading assistant state's attorneys.
Also that he was urared to bear the
load upon promise that they would
soon get him out when he (himself)
and some of his gang were arrested
in order that the others could get off
and testify for the state attorney's
office on other cases, some they prob
ably knew nothing about He fur
ther states in this affidavit that he
often saw one Abe Frank, an im
munity man of Hoyne's at the Briggs
notei, who boasted of his immunity
from punishment and pointed to the
luxury in which . he and his family
were living at the state's expense.
Frank, says Kleiman, urged him to go
with the state's attorney.
urns affidavit covers several type
written pages. It is a sworn con
nected story supported by many cir
cumstances, corroborated In many
places by other sworn statements,
made without any promise of im
munity, or hone of reward: made with
the full knowledge, that it would mean
prison, perhaps for many years.
lhere are other affidavits equally as
damaging relative to the conduct of
Mr. Hoyne and his assistants in se
curing convictions of political enemies
on what these affidavits clainv is per
jured testimony.
Rev. Elmer L. Williams
The Reverend Elmer L. Williams.

Grace Methodist church, a man of re

civic righteousness who has probably

city of vice and corruption of all kinds

Maclay Hoyne and branded him as a.
criminal or an incompetent.
He says I "Mr. Hoyne's favorite

CRIMINALLY DILIGENT IN IN

dicted too many or he has prosecuted
too few. He Is either so crooked that
he should be in Joliet or he is so in
