    PRIEST AND PURGATORY A FALLEN EMPEROR
Derr Minter Hosmer:
I bin thiiikin a good doel ubcut y-,u
laitly, an' how the nitre uv kolumbus
hoe bln a porsecutin’ you, an* cech
time bluil hen biled feorful. 1 bin a
having my oun trubblrn an* a preeat
hen bin the kawa uv it. 1 blcjve I
toald you bout how my Mah faird
aina ahe bekum u kathcrlik. Well,
wun day laitly 1 met up with the
I reeat an’ i»e ard "howdo Zcckil?"
an* i hc <) “purty well, but* i got u
powerful oncertinty ex to where pur­
gatory ia lowcatod." The preeat
looked at me suspicious an’ he red,
“what yer talkin’ a bout?”
“I'm n talkin' a bout purgatory,"
I aed, "an* I wieh you would tell me
what country ia It situted in.”
“Y ung mnn, air you erneat in
your deaire to know where that place
ia?" "1 certainly am," nod I. “I
hoern you talk u bout gittin’ souls
cuten purgatory by the meena uv
masses an' i want« ter know how fur
wun hea to g-» to git there an' back."
"Hick homminua ao pujimua dum-
mygub slapijo,” aed the preeat.
“Gosh, ia thut fur away?" i aed to
the precat.
“Not too far for you to git there,
yung man," aed the preeat.
“Well, I hain’t ungahua to go there
er uny uther now country," I aed,
"apeahully whnir there ia ao much
heet. But y ‘U hain't done tow Id me
yit whair it la," aed I.
“I hain't under no obligation tew
tell anything a bout it, you uv little
faith,” nod the preat.“Omnibua croak-
erkuaa to hellibua,” he further re-
plide.
"Now Z^ekil," the preeat cor.tin-
nered, “who'a bln a talking tew you
agin the hoaly church?”
"Nobody, only I bin a readin," I
replide. “I bin rendin a bout the
histry uv the chuch.” “What in?"
aex he. "In the ’Wandrin Je.v’ an’
the 'mysteries uv the Peepul’ by
Yougeen Soo," <ed I.
"Oh you hairy tick," the preeat
howld. “You hairy tick. You*) go
to hell aure ef you reed auch awful
rltlna.”
"I dunno,” i aed, "I think ennybody
thet could treet men, wimmin an*
childrin ea them preeata did what
Yougeen Soo telle a bout hex the
frunt a<*eta in hell." Gee, but the
preeat did bile over when I aed that,
an’ I contlnnered, "Yougeen Soo writ
hot stuff about Ignaahua Loyola an’
the crowd of preeata that burnt Jone
uv Ark to doth tide to a stalk. An*
he writ hot stuff a bout the poops
an' how they orderd awl hairy tick«
murderd be caws thay would not kisa
the poupa big toe.’
Well jimminy criamua, you awter
uv heern that preeat howl. He cawld
m> hairy tick an infidul an uther
kind namea, an now we dont apeek
an he went to my boas an got me
diachargcd becaws he sed i insulted
him an the hoaly church. Mr. Hos­
mer, I hain’t got much respect fur
eny church er reeligun that can’t
anaer charges in eny way ceptin
by killin an boy cottin them ea dairs
to repeet what they knows is true.
I think it ia as my grandad sex:
“Truth don't need no dee fense," an
Truth crushed to the soil will git up
right away stronger than ever.” An
grandad nwlso sed, "Ef thair wasn't
enny thing rottin behind co'ivent
walls the kathcrliks wouldn't be so a
frade uv the inspeeshun bills wot a
lot of folkses wants passt.”
My Mah hain't so strong on bein a
katherlik as she wuz. She hain't
bawt enny hoaly water laitly.

THE FIGHTER.
By Marguerite Head.
Just before the battle rages.
You may hear his wild huzzas;
But through all the ancient story
There is but a butcher’s glory
In the war each fighter wages
For the bloody monarch, Mars.
Shall the lure of printed pages
In our youth vile lust instill?
Shall the sanguinary hero
With the instincts of a Nero,
Who has plied his trade for ages,
Teach our children how to kill ?
Still on battlefield’s broad stages,
With his brazen, villians’ roles,
He is dealing death and plunder,
While behind machines of thunder
Stands the gory fiend who gauges
Guns to rend l.is brothers’ souls.
Just before the battle ragec,
You may hear his wild huzzas;
But through all the ancient story
There is but r. butcher’s gle.ry
In the war each fighter wages
For the bloody monarch, Mars.
The only place of record that Jesus
Christ ever permitted us to peak into
the future existence is where he told
of the rich man in hell being tor­
mented in flames. He nevsr, never,
under any circumstances, gave n
v/erd of comfort to a rich man. I
challenge the world to show one text
that does.
Prtrach, the poet, and idol of Italy
at the time, addressed King Charles
IV of Germany: (who had humiliated
himself before a Pope) “What more
ignominious for an emperor than to
be trumpled under foot by an au­
dacious priest, and to lie content with
the title of Caesar without daring to
inhabit his residence? Go to- -—you
are fit to live at Avignon, (the French
home of the Popes) that cjty which
la the sink and the receptacle of all
the vices. 1 can speak of it for I
know of its abominations. In that
third Babylon, which has no equal
but Rome, there exists no pity, no
charity, no faith, no fear of God;
there is nothing there holy, sacred,
honest, humane. In a word, ahame,
charity and cundor are banished from
it; as for truth, it never entered it.
How could it exist in a place where
everything is fulse? The air, the
earth, the houses, the palaces, the
streets, the markets, the temples, the
chumliera, the beds, the angles of the
walls, the hotels, the seats of the
Judges, the Pontiff’s Throne, and the
ultars consecrated to God, are all
peopled by knaves and liars. In this
infernal labyrinth of frightful dun­
geons or sombre prisons, commands
an imperious Minor, who agitates
in a fatal urn, the lot of mortals.
At the least signal from his master,
a minotaur, under the form of a
priest, casts himself upon the vic­
tims, and drags them into the tem­
ples of the shameless Venus. •••The
sulvntion of the humun family lies
in gold. It is gold alone wnich can
appease the monster, enchain him,
make him smile. With gold you may
deflower your sister, murder your
father, open heaven, buy the saints,
the angels, the Virgin, the Holy
Spirit, Jesus Christ, and the Eternal
Father himself. The Pope will sell
you everything for gold except his
Tiara.
ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH
Under the above caption the Catho­
lic Sentinel, April 29, Says: “The
Divine Founder of the Catholic
Church did not intend that the rank
and file of its membership should
have authority in it" We quite agree
that the Catholic Church is an abso­
lute despotism; that the luyman has
no more voice in it than a dead
clam; but the Sentinel is wrong to
charge the founding of such a mon-
strocity upon Divinity.
The article continues:
"The Pope’s domination over the
Church differs from that of the rul­
ers of other societies. He has direct
authority over all Catholics, from the
most exalted prelate to the humblest
layman, and he is obliged to render
on uccount of his administration to
no other human being. None of his
power is derived from or delegated
by any one else. According to the
Vutican Council he haB “the whole
fullness of supreme power, ordinary
und immediate, over all and each of
the pastors and the faithful.” He is
the supreme Judge in matters of
faith. To him belongs the right to
regulate all the Church’s discipline,
and from hiB decision there is no ap-
peul. He may enact laws for the
whole Church, and dispense from
them. He can reserve to himself'the
power of absolving from certain sins.
He can dispense from any vow, no
matter how solemn and sacred. He
can, by canonization, inscribe new
names on the roll of the Church’s
saints. Truly, a mighty and wonder­
ful power has been given by the All-
Pvwerful to His Vice-regent upon
earth.”
"The Pope’s insignia of office are
a straight crosier; the pallium which
signifies his rank as primate; and
the Tiara, or trippie crown which
typifies his authority as Father of
Princes, Ruler of the world, and Vicar
of Christ."
Some Jesuitical priests, and some
half-baked Protestants say the Pope
claims simply a spiritual rule, but all
people who are intelligent on the sub­
ject know better. ‘His headgear em­
phasizes his claim to the rulership
of the world.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
gives the names of seventeen m n in
the United States whose total wealth
is $1,995,000,000. The interest on
this capital at 6 per cent yearly
amounti to 1119,700,000. It would
Uke the constant labor of 119,300
men at the rate of $20 per week,
making fifty full weeks per year,
averaging $1,000 per man to pay it.
The man that averages 120 per week
can afford to marry and raise three
children, making five to the family;
in other words, 598,500 human beings
could live on the income of the
seventeen holders of the surplus
value of labor, taking from the pro­
ducer by seventeen men alone enough
good condition to sustain life.
SILVERTON DIRECTORY
The first report of its study of in­
fant uiortality was made public re
cently by the federal children's bu­
reau. It is based on conditions found
by the bureaus* investigators in
Johnstown, Pa.
While it carefully avoids conclu­
sions, the report points out that in
the poorer sections of Johnstown the
deuth rate was 271 per thousand ba­
bies, or more than five times that in
the best residential sections of the
city.
Babies whose fathers earned $10
a week or less, the report says, died
at the rate of 256 per thousand,
while those whose fathers earneo $z5
or more a week died at the rate of
84 per thousand. Only 46.6 babies
per thousand died under 1 year of
age when breast-fed for at least
three months, ax against 165.8 per
thousand who died when fed wi‘h
artificial foods.
When mothers were employed a
large part of the time in heavy work
babies died at a rapid rate.

In the Western Watchman, (Cath­
olic) issue of March 11, there is an
editorial which closes with the ques-
t.cn;
“What is civil marriage but legal­
ized free love?"
Every state in the Union has its
marriage laws. The Catholic church
claims the protection and privileges
guaranteed the loyal citizens of each
state. And she insists that when her
ions run for office they are loyal to
the flag, and should therefore be
elected. But are they loyal to the
flag? The flag stands for everything
American, and civil marriage is our
most sacred institution. The Cath­
olic church teaches that the American
marriage altar is nothing but a
license for free love, and that the
children of all who are wedded out­
ride her jurisdiction are illegitimate.
Members of the Catholic church sub­
scribe to Catholic teaching. There­
fore, the Catholic running for office
is not in sympathy with our laws
regulating marriage, and is not loyal
to the flag. And to conclude that he
is as eligible to office as is the man
who recognizes the validity of the
American marriage system is about
is logical as it would be to conclude
that vinegar is as palatable on straw­
berries and cream as sugar.—Ex.
A genuine Roman Catholic is not
only a traitor to the marriage system
of uur great nation, but the very
principles on which our government
ire founded are far from their ideal.
Government by a monarch, a pope,
a priest—that is the real Roman
idea, and no true Catholic can well
ierve a government whose fund­
amental law is founded on the idea
that all men are created equal.

Catholics, and that the president of

raise funds to build a parochial high
