HOSMER GRADUATES FROM JAIL
WITH THE MODERN TITLE “D. G. S.”
THE INQUISITION
By L. D. Ratliff
In the early duya of the Roman
Church in England the faaling requir
ed by u prieat for “penance" could be
performed by u hired deputy.

Sixty yean ago according to Sey-
incur'« "E ening with the Koniaiuate,"
there were running in Rome full blast
a system of “privileged altars" where
maaoc.i were sold al 40 cents apiece,
and each ma's guaranteed to fetch a
soul from purgatory. Reynolds bought

P Imbed, That the Roman Catholic
church, by her constitution and her
laws, is an enemy to popular govern
ment. brom this fact it logically and
necessarily follows that the order of
the Knights of Columbus, by its fidel
ity to the Roman Catholic Church, is
a'so an enemy to popular government.
Robert Mon lug ue, Catholic member of
the English Parliament, said, “To be
Catholic with the Hope, and to be lib
eral wita the government, are contra-
di'-tory characters; they cannot crust
in the satre subject."

The U. S. Ccnatitution says, "Nei
ther slavery nor involuntary sc»ii-
tude, except for puiushment for crime,
wacreof l*
l e pally aiiall have been
duly convicted, shxl exist within the
United States.” Cut out the ecclesias

“ ti.are aro in the world 16,894 Jesuits.
Of this number 2676 ure in the U. S.

correct, we should judge from ll e
amount of devilment tnesc people have
done that each one pos.Msses a whole
army of devils.
“Why did the Catholic priests u
biahop^befors Luther's time not pei-
mit tiic peo de to have the Bible?"
A Catholic paper in response, says,
"Before Protestantism there were
more than twsnty translation* of the
Bible in most of the model I. lan
guages." Of course, this does not meet
the point. The answer is found in an
act of a Catholic Council held A. D.
1229 which prohibited laymen to bav<
the Bible and forbade rts translation.
In 1380 Wycliffe, an English priest,
gave his countrymen the Bible when
'the clergy stirred uu the people, and
the priest had To flee to the Duke of
Lancaster for protection. After he
was dead he wus tried and condemned
as a “Notorious and pertinacious here,
tic,” and the Council of Constance
an^tham-'zed him and condemned his
memory. In March 1864 Pope I’ius IV
confirmed the act of the Council of
Trent which prohibited the reading of1
the Biblcr except by a special license

In the recent election in eight states
where the Democratic party and the
Roman Hierarchy were allied, they got
it “in the neck.”
...
Woodburn, Mt. Angel and Silverton
are imilarly situated. They have the
rain and sunshine and inspiring cli
mate alike, and each is looking out
upo a world moving upward to better
things. But, at the recent election,
Woodburn with a vote of 404 gave
a Dry majority of 130.
Silverton with a vote of 598 gave
a Dry majority of 104.
Mt. Angel with a vote of 272 gave
a Wet majority of 206.
Can anybody give a reason for the
difference in attitude toward the sa
loon? Mt. Angel is dominated by the
Roman Catholic system; me other two
towns are non-Catholic. Does that ex

to ba the world’s only enlightener.
