POLITICAL UNREST DUE TO ROMANISM.
Chaotic Conditious Prevailing in Forelsa
Lanes Dae to Church's Attempt to Control.
'Political unrest seems to be
, rampant throughout all portions
of the earth where "governments
are not yet sufficiently able to
cope with all forms of intrigue.
The blame for this unsettled con
dition would have been laid at
the door oGerman propagandist
six months ago Today many
wonder what is keeping it alive
In the first place it is not Ger
man propaganda- Nearly all of
it is designed, somewhere along
tlie line, to end in victory tor the
papal church.
In Portugal the old church has
not ceai ed her intrigues since the
republic came into being. Papal
followers are taking advantage
of the recent assassination of the
"self inducted" president of the
republic and using it as a pre
text jail and persecute innocent
Freemasons. It is jailing not
only the Freemasons but all liber
als upon the flimsiest pretexts.
Freemasons as individuals in all
countries are known to be un
swevering supporters of republic
an fornis of government.
Popery is desirous of over
throwing and nullifying such
tendencies toward democracy,
particularly when it is real de-.
mocracy and separates church
and state . The latest from Por
tugal tells of an uprising seeking-
to restore the former king to
the throne.
In Poland popery is playing a
master hana in her effort to make
dominant those forces which
will bring about a union of the
church. Internal strife even to
bloodshed is the order of the day
and th allied governments seem
to be waiting to see whether the
church unionists or the real de
mocrats will win.
In Spain opposition to the as
pirations of the Catalonians
threatens to bring on similar
trouble. The Catalonians want
freedom from the old church's
sway. The crown seems to favor
the other side because to allow
the Catalonians the reforms they
seek would plunge the empire in
to discussion and agitation over
the question that would augur
ill for continued dominance from
the Vatican.
In Mexico, we are informed by
the press, a hand bill is being
circulated urging death to Car
ranza and other Mexican liberals
It is signed the "Mexican Bol
shevists." Yet t&e world knows
that no set of people alive today
desire Carranza's death more
than do the ardent papists deter-,
mined to restore the papal
church to the ascendency over
civil authority. Ever since Car
ranza was recognized by this gov
ernment popery has used every
anifice at her command in an at
tempt to embroil the two repub
lic i in war. Not the least of her
arguments has been a campaign
of fake press reports on brutal
treatment of nuns.
What part papists played in
cri es that recently resulted in
the assassination of Carl Lieb
kuetch, of Germany, can not be
staled with exactnes at this
time, It is certain that only by
poj ery's connivance- could the
old church be dethroned, as she
has been by the socialists govern
me t in Bavaria audit remains
to be seen just what capital she
exp cts to make out of it and how
she mil use and urge extreme
me; ures against Jher to over
throw existing order to her own
adv .ntage. It is certain that po
gin 's desire is to. form a new
erman state with Bavaria as
the pivot upon which shall re
HOUSE PASSES THE STATE DOG LAW.
Senate Kills Tho Capital Punishment Ac
Reducing the Crimes Punishable by Death.
Raleigh, Feb, 4. The house
passed Frank Rav's statewide
dog law by an overwhelming ma
jority, but the senate, which had
been expected to promptly en
act into law a bill providing for
reduction of the number of of
fense's punishable in this state
by death, after a lengthy discus
sion, defeated the measure, 26 to
17.
The house liquor traffic com
mittee reported the bill for the
creation of a state prohibition
marshalship favoiably and its
advocates are sanguine. None,
however, have been found who
is committed to Superintendent
R. L. Davis of the Anti-Saloon
League, as a candidate for the
job. Opposition is promised by
tbose who contend that prohibi
tionias -now become a federal
measure.
New legislation comes in
slowly and deals largely with
such things as the abolition or
re-establishment of the office of
county treasurer in the various
couuties, according to permis
sion for bond issues by school
districts and the like.

people who will cling faithfully
to the old church and be part

state regardless of how the new
map of Europe maybe planned.
This scheme includes the aban
donmentof Prussia, leaving it to
stand out side the new papal
alliance until such" time as poo
erv can use ana control it to
her own advantage. ,

keeps in the background, work j

Salisbury, gave the
tOllOWinff
statement March 10, 1915: "I
all
have always found Doan's Kid
ney Pills just the thing for back
ache and lumbago. I have had i
several attacks of lumbago when
I could hardly move for a min
ute on account of the sharp
catches in the small of my back.
When I feel any sign of kidney
trouble now I take a few doses of
Doan's and they never fail tojJo
me good "
On May 11, 1918 Mr. Seal said:
'I certainly have no reason to go
back on my former statement of
Doan's Kidney Pills. I use them
when I feel any kidney trouble
coming on and they fix me up in
fine shape. I gladly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills."

ENGLAND'S DOGS RENDERED AID
War Does Did Much to Aid in the Fight
Against the Huns.
London, January, 23. Eng
land's dog armyTendered gallant
service in the war. Many a sold
ier owes his life to some poor un
cared for, stray dog For nearly
two years dogs were employed by
the British as messenger sentries
and-as guards.
Early in 19 17 a war dog school
of instruction was- established
7
by the British . War office, " and
lieutentnt Colonel Richardson,
who has devoted his life in 1 rain
ing dogs for military and police
purposes, was called up from the
army camp to assist in the work
of instruction.
After a thdrougt training in
England, the dogs were sent tt
France, and on the battlefields
their skill, courage ana-tenacity
amazed the army. Often wound
ed in the performances of ttat r
duties, they never fa' tered while
strength remained to carry or.
The official record of their heroic
work tells of successful message-
carrying through Sajrkness, mist
rain and shell-fire over the moS'
difficult ground. In a few min
utes' time dogs have brought
messages over ground that would
take a soldier runner hours to
cross.
During the great German aJ
vance last spr-ing part- of the
British line itrfront of a camous
French town was cut off by a
severe enemy barrage. A mes
senger dog was released with, an
urgent; appeal for reinforce
ments.-slt,r an -two miles in ten
Hhinutes - - The result: was thatrf
sent up and prevented a disaster.
The messenger was a Highland
sheep dog.
Another dog with, a message
rannaarly four miles in twenty
minutes and still another in the
same time carried back from the
ront a map of an important cap
ured position, when a man
would have taken an hour and a
half to bring it in
The dogs which haye been
found most successful in war
work are collies, sheep dogs.,
burchers and airedales, and cross
es of these varieties, while in a
number of cases Welsh andxIrish
terriers have given excellents re
sults. The work of sentry dogs has
been valuable, especially in the
Balkans, one gave warning of an
enemy scout 300 yards away. On
many occassiOns dogs have given
warning of enemy patrols long
before the soldier sentries were
aware of theirpresence.
Large numbers 6f dogs have
been used tor guai d duty , many
on the Italian tront Dispatch.
Notwithstanding " the dog
proves loyalty and worth un
dcr ho most trying conditions
when given a chance, there still
re. lain dog haters who never
have any better name for him
thru 'worthless cur." Such ap
pel d Hons generally cpme from
worthless curs of the genus

ethers who would begrudge the
Son:e one states that if we had
less " worthless enrs," meaning
all dogs of course, we would
have more sheep, poultry eggs
etc which may be true, but we
would likely also hav more mur

'worthless cur" was not at hand
