4 Has the Roman Catholic Church Been Slandered ? (Continued from Page One.) dared its independence of Popish control; anti which, in 1745, had given a final blow to the ef¬ forts of the Catholic Stuarts to “come back.” The Battle of Culloden was fought in 1745, only 30 years before Charles Carroll got his chance to strike at the Protestant monarch of Protestant England. How many Romanists helped found our gov¬ ernment, when the Constitution of 1787 was made ai d ratified ? How many Romanists have ever subscribed to • ur basic principles of government? Those principles are, the Sovereignty of the People, their right to rule themselves, their right to freedom of conscience, their right to freedom of wtrship, their right to free speech and free press? How many Papists can now subscribe to the principle of complete separation of Church and State? How many of them can now say, honestly, that they believe in the right, of the State to con trol edcation? Will this anonymous writer in the Times News, sign his name to a declaration that Amcri ean Papists acknowledge the validity of Protestant marriages 1 No! He dare not! '1 he Pope’s law’ and the Pope's Encyclical let¬ ters denounce your marriage and mine, as filthy children concubinage, and they lay upon the graves of my the foul “ slander ” of bastardy. Every Protestant grave is desecrated- with that Popish, devilish slander. I he Law of t he Roman Church, reproclaimed bv Pope Pins X. in 1867, denounces the separation of Church and State: denounces civil and religious liberty: denounces State education, when not con¬ trolled by Papist teachers; denounces freedom of speech and of press. I his Law of the Church—first codified at the Council of Trent, in the 16th Century—was re sanctioned and re-published by the Pope who ruled during the War between the States and continued to rule until 1873. That horribly medieval, reactionary, despotic law has never been modified, and is the law of every “good Catholic” of today. To supplant our laws with these autocratic laws of Rome, is the aim of the Knights of Colum¬ bus, of the Anci-mt, Hibernians, of the American Sinn Feiners, of the Clan-na-Gael, and of eveiy Jesuit. The priests arc sworn to this: the bishops are sworn to it: the Cardinals are sworn to it! Can our system of modem civilization be reconciled with Popery? Pope. Pius IX. said “No!” and he made it a separate clause in the Syllabus of 1864. officially sanctioned in 1867. What, then, is perfectly plain to all intelli¬ gent Americans? This is: that our system must surrender to homes, , must combat it, or we with the same fear¬ less energy displayed by Martin Luther, John C ilvin, John Knox, Gnstavus Adolphus, Count Manfred, William the Silent, Admiral Coligny, .

Our Constitution is anti-Catholic: our Go • eminent was intended to be altogether secular; and hence, there is no mention of God in its organic But. Popery is just the opposite: its govern¬ ment is intended to sulmrclinate the State to the (.■numb, and to establish the alieolutism of the he Matched His Mind. Professor Woodpile Wilson gloated over tire anticipation of matching his mind with the master minds of Europe, at the Peace Table. Tt Js ' vel1 for him that he enjoyed all the pleasures , of anticipation. . For (lie way in which that old man was trim mod by the other old men at Paris, beats anything that I ever read about. Gid Brother Clernenceau trimmed him into giving (lie German Saar Valley to France; and in¬ to pledging this country to have several million .ariners and workingmen ready to drop their plows, hammers, paint-brushes and things, and rc.-li bad, over (he wean to crush German militar lsin again, whenever France said the word. Old Mister Lloyd George—a mere Welsh picket-edition of a man—trimmed the mighty Wil SOJi - into pledging this country to help England hold all the loot she has ever obtained by force, fraud, hes, cheats, swindles, and ruthless blood¬ shed. Tnron Mu kino, of Japan, trimmed our n residential into dismembering Republic—our .. sage the Chinese friend in the War—and giving to Jiqwn a slice of China that is as big as Japan. The cunning old men who wanted Woodrow ’ lison to P Ia v the rabbit to the European Tar baby, , met with perfect success. He hit tire tar-baby in Servia, in Turkey, in the Balkans, on the Danube, on the Rhine, on the Jordan, on the Euphrates, on the Congo, and on the Nile. lie Consequently, he is stuck. fore-leg, cannot withdray a hind-leg. to kick with; nor a to hit with: they are stuck. He cannot even butt with his head, for that is ituck. Sago old men, those European diplomats wore: THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, HARLEM, GA. 1» rest by the perpetual misuse of the name of God. The Roman Church is not like any other: its machinery it political: its ambition is political: the aims of its Jesuits are political: it seeks to subdue the mind of the layman, in order that its control of him shall be political. The Roman Church is an Italian Secret Society, aspiring, to rule the world, by the prosti¬ tution of religion. The Popes have been Italians, ever since “Columbus discovered America”—excepting a few months when Charles V. secured the election of his old Flemish schoolmaster—who soon ate something, or drank something, that disagreed with him. Then he died. The majority of the Electoral College are always Italian Cardinals, and have been so for 400 years; and will be so, for another 400 years. Close corporations, self-renewing, never com mit suicide, never abdicate, never voluntarily suv render their monopoly. This Italian Mafia is at deadly antagonism to all democracies, all republican institutions, all in¬ dividual freedoms of thought, belief, and action. Popery is the Black Hand menace to modern civilization and progress: it can sing low, until its time comes: it can walk humbly, till its time comes: it can wear the mask of humility, virtue, and amiability, until its time comes; and when its time does come, Woe to the Protestants ! So late as 1895, it burnt to death ten Mexican ‘ i eretics,” in Mexico, on the public of Tex square acapa, under the Law of the Roman Church; and three of the “heretics” thus publicly burned were women , while one was an infant child. The names of these victims of the Popes’ law, ■were Nicholas Hernandez, Juan Tomas, Martin Santiago, Caspar Hernandez, Jose Manuel, Juan 1 <. mas, Jr., Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria Conceptione, and the unnamed infant. The fact of the tragedy was published as a news-item, in the Sunday New York World, Nov. .1, 1895: and it was re-published, in the Thrice-a Week World, Nov. 4, 1895. So late as 1896, the Roman Church shot Dr. Jose Rizal, in the open at Manilla, Philippine Islands. So late as 1909, it shot Professor Ferrer, be¬ cause he was introducing Modem Schools in Jes¬ uit-ruled Spain. And only four years ago, it shot William 1 lack, in Texas, for lecturing against its abomina¬ tions. It prosecuted me, for five years, because I re published a portion of its own obscene “Ques¬ tions for Women at the Confessional .” And it is now threatening my life, for writing just such articles as this! Yet, the anonymous Jesuit, who fills a whole page in the Times-News .professes to be pained and surprised at the prairie-fire of wrath that is raging as :.inst the despotic and murderous byste^of Popery. Nobody has the slightest inclination to deny religious liberty to Papists: but when the Italian Ecclesiastical Black Hand endeavors to control our government, change our institutions, intimidate our speakers, silence our writers, poison our literature, falsify our history, papalize our schools, annul i li marriage laws, exempt its priesthood from the jurisdiction of our courts, and put the brains of free-men under the shaven crown of bachelor lib¬ ertines of Romo, then we owe it to our heroic ancestors to combat this systematized cam paign which seeks to re-enthrone a degrading super¬ stition that has blighted every nation it has domi¬ nated. It is a case of American liberty's self-defense against, the , foreign Italian Secret Society, WHICH THREATEN ITS LIFE. i.inatuer, tyro, neophite, fledgeling, Woodrow Wil son was. They caused him to pledge the men and the !■ cney of this country to every European scheme ci robbery and tyranny: in return, he got for this country nothing that we did not already' have, or could have got, by ourselves. Look at the map! See how England, a small island in the Wesr., rules India, Egypt, Canada, and the larger part of Africa. See how Japan, a small island in the East., rales Korea, Manchuria, Shantung, and is reach¬ ing out for Siberia. 1 he I nited States, a vast, continent almost an island, consents to abandon the marvelous advan¬ tages of her isolated geographical position, and to P l >t her inexhaustible strength at tire command of England and Japan. That’s what coines of matching the mind of an absurdly conceited pedagogue with those of the most consummate diplomats in the world. Can the green-horn poker-player beat the professionals? Can the swift filly of the rural cross-roads go to the Fair, and take the prize from the trained thoroughbreds? ' LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Hon. Jas. H. Boykin Endorses Plan for Meeting. The suggestion which has been made to have a mass meeting at Thomson to protest against the acceptance of the League of Nations by this COU1I try and to have Hon. Thos. E. Watson'as the prin¬ cipal speaker, meets with general approval. As September 5th is Mr. Watson’s birthday, I believe that date would be the most appropriate time to have the meeting. His friends throughout Georgia should get busy and make the occasion a great success. Laying aside all prejudice and looking the facts squarely in the face, it must be admitted that Georgia’s brilliant statesman—the “Sage of Hick¬ ory Hill”—has done a great work in the interest of the masses of the people. He has at all times been the able and fearless champion of true Jeffersonian democracy and his record of achievement is one to be proud of. But right now he is doing the greatest work of his life in exposing the rottenness of the so- PETITION FOR CHARTER GEORGIA—Columbia County. The petition of C. L.
