B. S. COLER TRIES TO CARRY
WATER ON BOTH SHOULDERS.
Plain Staismsat of What ih! Catholic
Giurch Is Se.k ngto Establirh.
Tha American pnoplebave been
m r or i .as disposed to doubt The
Mmac'a couteution that it is the
otjot of the Rimsu Catholic
hierarchy to make this nation
Catholic, st the Reman church
above the state aud dictate ih re
ligion of the republic
R manists themselves deny the
fact when cm fronted by Menace
readers, and insist that The Men
ace is lyirg. out it is not.
Week before last, there was held
Boston what, .vas known as the
Catholic Missionary Congress. On
Suuday eveuiug, O-tjher 19tb,
there was held u m-etii,k at Ihe
Cath dral of the Ho y Cross, Bos
ton, at which Bishop M. P. Fal
lon, cf L ndor, Oot., was the.
principal ppoaker. Iu the course
of his r emarks be made the posi
tion of the Catholic church so
plain thatth bl:nest Protestant
cannon fail to understand bis
meiniiig. Here's what he said.i
accord u g to the Boitcn Herald of
O.t br 20 h:
"This Miionaiy Congress
is a simple natural conse
quence of Catholic-principles
aud from these principles
there follows the answer to
the question, 'What does this
movement mean V It means
that we propose to make this
North American continent
Catholic; to bring America
to Jeus through the divine
doctrines of the Catholic
church and under the su
preme spiritual shepherdship
of the pope of Rome."
Is that piaiu enough fer you to
gra?r?
D es that need any explanation
or comment from ub?
Th b holy grafters hope to
ward off criticism of their damn
able desigus by using the name of
Jesus Christ, but their descration'
and b!usbph;my of the name of
Chr:6t dec ive no one who under
stands their girne, 'and the above
expreision will deceive no one
who is a b 1 3 to concentrate bis
mind for au instant on the con
ten's of the whol j paragraph.
As a matter cf fact the Ameri
can people have slept cn their
rights natil these human vultures
in sheep's clothing have already
captured everything in this na
tion that- is of any value, ai.d un
less tbre is au. awakening, only
second to th it which marked the
Rifoimatiou aled by. Luther, and
that- s on, even the right of pro
test will le gone, indeed, will you,
dear friend, be "brought under
the Shepherdship (slavery) of the
pope of Rome'
H w dc you like the prospect?

Tm3 letter is signed by Conde
B. Pallen, Terence Shealy (a Je
suit) and James J. Walsh, com
posiug the editorial' staff of the
"Live Issue" and the now defunct
"Common Cauee," but Bird S.
Coler, a Jesuit in disguise, posing
as a Methodist for the purpose of
pulling the wool over the eyes of
Protestants, is one of the leadiLg
spirits in the organization.
Coler is one of those fellows
who hob-nobs with the priests and
prelates of Rome, then with Prot
estants aud laboring men, and
tries to persuade them that their
interests are ideutical, and that
their objects are one and tde same.
He is the man who wants the
state to defray the expense of the
parochial schools of Rome,- and
who objects to the inspection of
Rome's slave pens on Ihe ground
that it is interfering with con
science and religion,
Preoisely! "Oar interests are
one," said the fox, after devour
ing the goose. ' "Same here," an
swered the hawk, with the feath
ers of the dove still clinging to
his beak. "I am with you," chip
ped iu the shark; and "I congrat
ulate you upon your wise poiitioal
economy" was tbe amen of the
ion as the lamb's tail disappeared
down the red lane.
The people of the oountry can-
uot be fooled any longer by men
of the Coler and Windle stripe.
1 hey are beginning to think for
themsylves, . and they are not
o easily hoodwinked as they once
were, lo tne intelligent mind the
apologists for Rome are amusing
iu tho extreme. The old ship' of
Rome is floundering in water too
wifb for her propeller. She is
uavigated Ly a captain whose
comj-sss always points purgatory-
ward, and manned by a crew of
anatias who holds to that course
vgardleas of the wreckage in- the
pathway. The people are not only
sick and tired of Rome and Ro
manism, but they are disgusted
with Buoh miserable creatures as
the promoters of 'the ''Common
Cause" and "The Live Issue "
They have no patience with wolves
iu sheep s clothing, aud the soon
er the wolves learn th9 lesson the
more time will they have to repent
of their misdoings.
Lt ub erect at the head of this
newiy made grave a tcmDstons,
and on thiB tombstone let us write
an inscription: "Here lies, in
this deseorated spot, the blasted
ambitions of Bird S. Coler, too
green to burn and too antiquated
to preserve, may they repose in
peace."

an automobile filled with deputies
aud a driver was sent to bring
him to the mines. Wnile the
machine was climbing a steep
hill fifteen men hidden behind
rooks fired upen the men with
powered rifles. Carey was killed
by the first volley, Witten by the
second and Bryant by the third.
Deputy Rogers managed to escape
the. bullets and ran to the nearest
bouse where he called aid by tele
phone. The stridors marched back to
Livita with their rifles on their
shoulders.
None of them have been arrest
ed ard the bodies of the guards
are still in the automobile iu
which they were hot to death as
no one dares go near the machine
for fear of being shot.

Mr, Justice was not the original

of land that rightfully belopgs to
him. He will assist one of the

He will be in position to use all

Mr. Justice is not a stranger to
Attorney General MoReynolds, for
he helped in the controversy
