PAPAL NOTES
(By L. D. Ratliff)
The head of the government print­
ing business is a Catholic.
• • •
Buffalo, N. Y., is Catholic by 60 per
cent, and $10,000,000 worth of Catholic
property is exempt from taxation.
• • •
According to the papers the Holy
Bishop at Seattle was one of the bunch
who iuui to answer in coui for kid­
napping a girl.
• • •
By sending a message of eulogy and
tribute to Rome upon the death of
. e Pope the President gave official
recugnization to a religion in violation
of the spirit of the Constitution.
• • •
It has been charged, and seemingly
proved that tho U.K. customs agent at
New York ha passed Roman Catholic
baggage without examination, though
that official has made a weak denial.
• • •
Sixty per cent of the population of
Boston is Catholic. They elect Mpyor
and other officials, and 95 per cent of
all the appointments under these offi­
cials arc Catholics.
• • •
The late Pope had “broad sym­
pathies,” according to Wilson. Perhaps
'so— for his own church. He was a
reactionary and bigot of pronounced
type.
• • •
Nearly all saloon keepers are Ro­
man Catholics. None of them belong
to Protestant churches. This shows
the difference between the Protestant
and Catholic standards of morality.
• • •
Papal graft. If anybody but a Papal
grafter worked such a skin game on
ihc poor and ignorant he would be run
in fur obtaining money under false
pretenses.—The Melting Pot.
• • •
A girl of fourteen was enticed into a
Montana House of Good Shepherd with
the promise of an education. She
makes affidavit that she was confined
there nix months, doing washing and
other drudgery for the institution. A
part of her morning duty was to drees
