TO A ROCKY ROOTER.
Say, you old Rocky Rooter there, why can’t you see.
That to boost for the system that robs you and me,
Is the silliest thing that a worker can do?
Can't you see competition is just doing you?
The Socialists claim that to join a big trust
Is the sure, wisest plan the others to bust,
How can you hold aloof from this practical way?
Why you talk like a jackdaw and look like a jay.
Come and look :>( the workers who produce all the wealth,
And then look
j idlers, the product of stealth;
Try to dream what 'twill be when to work means to win,
And to exploit another, an impossible sin.
Say you old Rocky Rooster, and your poor, little wife,
Don't you know that for profit you ruin your life?
It is struggle to'live, or struggle for gain—
To a way faring man, though a fool, it is plain.
Go and look at the hovels of the poor, honest men;
Go and look at the mansions of the rich upper ten;
Can you vote for a system, that allows Rocky Jack
To roll in his millions, at the expense of your back?
THINGS ARE MOVING.

ROMAN CATHOLIC LAW OR AMER AN LAW WHICH?
ROMAN CATHOLIC HUNGARIAN, of Perth Amboy,
N. J., named Stephen Dagonya, was married on August
4, 19'
*9
to Mary Csoma, a member of the Hungarian
Reformed Church of the same city, by the pastor of
her Church, Rev. Lopis Nanassy.
In November, 1910, they took their little girl, Anna Susanna,
to the Roman Catholic priest, Rev. Francis Gross, for baptism.
When the father asked for the certificate of baptism, the priest
declared their marriage was not a marriage, and that they were
living in concubinage, but that it would become a marriage if the
parents would pay him a fee of $15.00 and be remarried by him.
The father replied that his marriage was valid and lawful accord­
ing to the laws of the State and his conscience, and he refused to
remarry. The priest then wrote out a Certificate of Baptism in
which he stated that the child was illegitimate, and that the
parents were living in concubinage."—Protestant Magazine.
The above quoted from one of our most reliable magazines
shows what the Roman Catholic "inner circle" will do with us all
if it has a chance. It also shows what they are doing. The
illigitímate sons of the priests are made priests, and this scum of
the earth lords it over honorable American citizens who are
frightened or wheedled ipto supporting them in payment for their
silly prayers and other idiotic services. It is time to act! There
is nothing gained by letting this bunch of foreign pirates get
every stragetic point in our country as they have at Washington,
D. C. and to get more arms and ammunition stored away in their
butte-built arsenals.
Something should be done legally to investigate and disolve
and punish the guilty. But if we can’t do it legally—Where’s
John Brown? O, that is anarchy! Well, what about the murder
of innocent infants in Marion County? What about the American
girl-slave that is working this hot summer day in the priests’
laundry? What about the escaped nun stories? What about the
priests in this state who have violated the laws of Oregon as well
as the laws of nature? What about that girl who was ruined by
a prominent official of the church and then married off to an in­
nocent farmer boy? Anarchy! Anarchy is a tame word and
John Brown an angel. Wake up!
