OUR OBJETS
AND OUR
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
We have been browbeaten, maligned, aaeault-
ed, boycotted, denied our rights in Court, im­
prisoned and robbed of the privilege of editing
our paper while in jail, all for trying to make the
world better by publishing the truth. This only
makea ua atronger in the fight! But, as we have
been robbed through boycott, of the where-with-
all to continue our work, we are forced to change
our plana, and this advertisement is to let the
lovera of liberty, juatice and truth know that they
are hereby given the privilege to help in our Cam­
paign. Are you in favor of our continuing in this
work? Here are our objects:
In order to make the world better for our hav­
ing lived, and with malice toward none and charity
for all, we wish to make public:
1. The doings of individuals who ar« posing
as good citizens, but who are continually commit­
ting crime secretly.
2. The grafting schemes and self protecting
sycophancy of our public official^.
3. The hypocritical and absurd pretentions and
confidence games of all humbug religious fakers.
4. The effort to destroy our public schools,
our other American institutions of civil and rel­
igious liberties, free thought, free speech and free
press, by the foreign power known as the Roman
Hierarchy, and its treasonable efforts to destroy
the American government and prevent our prog­
ress in perfecting “a more perfect union.”
5. The cause of poverty and crime and the
remedy by the destruction of political trickery and
false hero worship and how to establish universal
knowledge of the true principles of government
on the basis of equality of opportunity and the
inalienable right of every citizen to an equal
chance to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap­
piness.
6. The awful effects of the use of stimulants
and narcotics on the human race and the best
methods of emancipation from their destructive
slavery.
7. The principles of the universal (genuine
Catholic) religion of righteousness, and a true,
progressive and modern Protestant faith of de­
stroying ancient errors, which have held us in
bondage; and that the salvation of our race de­
pends on the solid rock of “the brotherhood of
man.”
We hdve faith that there are enough thinking
people in the United States to save our work from
the destroyer’s hands, and we are using this space,
formerly occupied by advertising which made it
possible to publish our paper, to call on all who are
interested to join us in the work. Do you bdlieve
in a free press? Do you believe in our objects?
If so, help us establish
