(Continued en Last Page) PAPAL NOTES STICKERS A Roman Trick to destroy the free school idea and secure public mon ey for the already Romanized dis trict has been defeated. Hurrah! ! Some time ago the Catholic trick sters at Mt. Angel made an attempt to take in the adjoining school dis tricts and thus receive the public school money from all of them and then make the whole business Roman Cath olic. But the surrounding districts objected and fought like tigers, with the result that the Mt. Angel Daddies were sorely beaten. Th's defeat of the Angels was not enough, however, and last Friday was appointed for another “try out” in the Circuit Court room at Salem. The reporter of The Silverton Journal was on hand prompt ly, and quite a little amy of rural folks, who love the “little red school house” more than they do the paro chial farce, were up in arms and right to the front. And what do you sup pose happened? Just exactly what always happens when people face a cowardly enemy. The “Angels” never showed up. They simply withdrew their case, and it is thereby proven, what we have so often contended, that the priesthood dare not face a fair fight. They hate publicity. They do not want people to know the truth. Intrigue, deceit, fraud, illegal boycott and fear are the weapons they use, but when patriotic people unite and face them, they slink away into their underground dens of infamy, and, like a huge spider again watch for their careless prey. It would be interesting to know how much of the principal’s salary in Catholic towns like Mt. Angel goes to the priests and how much the other teachers pay the priests in order to get and hold their jobs. The principal at Mt. Angel gets $125 per month and has eleven stadents in his room, while the Catholic parochial schools are boomed, boosted and increased. Why should our public schools be ruined and these special, stultifying, Roman izing institutions be supported by money drawn for public school pur poses ? There are some things besides the saloons in Mt. Angel which should be prohibited, and a few more at tempts like the one that failed last Friday with a free press to make it public will certainly do the business. Hurrah for the bold yeomen whose bravery won a great victory last Fri day without striking a blow. Hurrah for our public schools and the prin ciples of democracy which are at last making it possible through free and liberal education to build us a world without a slave, a knave or a priest- ridden fool. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED In The Silverton Journal of January 1st, Mr. Van Trump has this challenge: “I will give Mr. Phelps $100.00 to prove before a Christian jury that Lin. coin ever acknowledged Christ as Sa vior, or joined any ^turch. Now we will see who is the bluffer.” Taking it for granted that Mr. Van Trump is not bluffing in this matter, I will prove to a Christian jury in Philcsnath, Oregon, consisting of six or twelve persons, that Mr. Lincoln was First: A man of prayer. Second: That he believed the Bible as the inspired word of God. Third: That he believed Christ was Divine in the fullest sense of the word. Fourth: That he acknowledged Christ as the Savior of all men. Fifth: That he claimed to be con verted. Sixth: That he stood upon the Bible as his foundation of morality. Seventh: That he acknowledged Christ as h;s own Savior as well as the Savior of the world. Here is a fair chance to settle this point, at least locally. What I have stated in the above propositions I will undertake to prove, as soon as Mr. Van Trump informs me that he has deposited the hundred dol lars. I will take any bank he may name just so I have it in writing from the one holding the forfeit that the hundred dollars have been deposited for and in harmony with, the challenge of Mr. Van Trump. Mr. Van Trump may be present, if he so desires, and present his side of the ease with equal time as myself. Now we will see by what hole he will get out of this. Like Cantrell, he may have to go east. Respectfully submitted, GUY FITCH PHELPS.
