THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1923. C. M. THOMPSON’S WEEKLY LETTER In reading the papers of to-day we ask* ourselves the question in a decla rative way. Mer Rouge and Bastrop art thou a Sodom and Gomorro? ~ If we read the truth we are made to la/lii ve that you have lain Mormonism in the shade. You have your wives of modern day your slaves and concubines or medevial and ancient history. Your masked demon Catholicism is making a bold strike when they hid away Daniels and Richards that blame might rest upon a clan of vigilance, law and order. The dark ages scores crimes and cru elties but it took Mer Rouge and Bas trop to outstrip in low down cussedness, atrocities and intrigue sown broadcast by a body of pretenders at religion. This great mogul, high-cock-a-lorem. who sits at ease in his mansion grand and orders his henchmen at will and who stops' not at any mean which is justify by the end. They have met an avalenche for law and order which cuts them to the core, (therefore to offset or turn the tide of tlie current they must resort to a dia bolical mean in hopes of a desirable end. -•Sodom and Gomorro wanted no law nor order. Men sought to satisfy t toemselvesj in any manner they could conceive. Mer Rouge and Bastrop had her gam bling den and her places of debauchery and yet there were a few here who spoke out for law as Abraham and Lot t>f old. Those who spake out now must bear the brunt of persecution and prosecu tion which seems to be abetted and encouraged by a religious body hydra lieaded, with tanticles like the octopus reaching to every point of the compass which would draw into its great man or hell everything with which it would pome in contact. This hydra-headed octopus sees a loss unless' a deathlike blow is dealt out speedily and quickly against on organ ization whose whole aim is law and or der. Some organizations prosper great er while the people are ignorant. That Is why some keep the bible from the common people. I remember the story I guess he was a protestant who become disgusted with lift' in Mer Rouge, and caught a lion and two wild cats and a rattlesnake and rode the lion for a better clime. His drink was corbolic acid, colored with iodlpe; he yised moth balls to take the taste out of liis mouth of this soft drink. If you have such men on the (run wlmt must be the depraved con dition of those behind. That is the kind of men and women ignorance and this hydra-headed octo pus is filling this sunny land of ours. So soon'as Americans stand together as in 1776 that soon will this great mo gul monster fail in his attempts to spfit and weaken us. In Solomon’s day he met with many petty organizations of secret societies which tended to teach other than the true religion. So he got himself busy and kept all lie could of these societies und added such other lessons as would lead man nearer to His God. That society holds good to this day because there is true worth and merit In it. One great aim is education, while this opposing force abets an dotes on ignorance and keeps the book from the people. Ls this force at work in you. Mer Ttougo and Bastrop. O Sodom and Oo morro, I fear for you: let your good men do like Lot and leave the hydra headed monster to eat of his own flesh and blood and go to a home prepared for such. C. M.
