Vo!. 41 The Knights of Columbus Are Living Up to Their Oaths. Have you studied the oaths of the Priest, the Bishop, and the Archbishop, of the Roman dSfL^Totud abominable inthe^so-SSed^^tho- doctrines lie” church such as per sedition, extirpation, and murder. Even- Roman Catholic, on becoming a Priest, eignerUhe takes an oath of allegiance to a for Italian Pope. The Pope requires the Priest to persecute Protestants. Every Priest on becoming a Italian Bishop, not only renews his allegiance to the Pope, but swears that he will do his utmost to exterminate Protestants. The Pope exacts from the Bish co about to become an Protestants! Archbishop, a promise that he will extirpate The words, 41 persecute; exterminate, extir pate” are equivalent to murder, if those words and the oaths containing .them, are construed! in the light of Papal history. in There are many established churches the world; the Roman Catholic Church alone requires its officials to commit high crimes. That alone ought to he sufficient evidence to convince us that the Roman church, as an institution, is thorougl.lv lawless. In addition to the vicious oaths taken by high officials of the church to the Italian Pope, the Hierarchv ‘ maintains a military organiza tion. I ! Xo other church arrogates to itself the' ! right to set up military establishments, drill and equip soldiers. After reading the oaths of high officials of the Roman Church, you are convinced that the alleged oath of the Knights of Columbus, the Pope’s military organization, can’t be far wrong, simply because that alleged oath em¬ ploys every essential pledge embodied in the oath of Priest, Bishop, Archbishop, and Car¬ dinal. n „ j m r» » a 1 1 e high , officials & • 1 of e j, the rn Church. , Each t? , oath is • flint /;oni the same „ tice, . what is thc P °P e ’ s militai 'y or ^ ani *tteL h . rf , , Columbus f ri - eoifstitute v 1 that the knighte 1 of Pope’s Knights American military force and that were armed and ready to obey from the Roman Hierarchy. There are in this country more than seven hundred thousand Knights of Columbus. With the exception of the Ku Klux Klan, it is the strongest secret organization in the United States. Pope’s As proof of the intolerant spirit of the military organization, I cite the con¬ duct of the Knights of Columbus, at Lynbrook (X. Y.) Memorial Exercises, May 30, 1923. The Ku Klux Klan placed at the feet of a bronze doughboy a wreath inscribed: “In Memoriam. From the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.” The American Legion had placed a wreath at the foot of this monument, erected by the people of New York, to our dead soldiers; the Knight* of Columbus placed their wreath alongside that of the American Legion; and many other bodies, as well as many private in dividuals, Catholics and Protestants, honored the American soldier by leaving at the feet of this bronze doughboy a wreath of some sort. the IS tc? beep* i'tMf iAi , K1 ,“ did lawful right the .,.n ! left at this monument by other organizations. What did the lawless and murderous Knights of Columbus do at Lynbrook, Xew York? The New York Herald, May 31, says: “When the Knights of Columbus reach¬ ed the monument and a committee of the order laid a wreath at its base, two of them went to the Klan wreath and snatch¬ ed from it the ribbon 011 which the inscrip¬ tion was printed. If there were Klans men iu the crowd that beheld this they thought better than to protest. There was a little task about the incident but not siderable a suggestion of disturbance. A con¬ number of the paraders were frank in their support of the action of the fCnights of Columbus.” ■ mi* The Priests write high-sounding articles fog the daily newspapers, proclaiming the civ¬ ic virtues o^the Roman Catholic Hierarchy and its fralelspal organizations, etc. They tell Us that tho Catholic church and its secret or¬ ganizations preach and practise “tolerance”; yet the military representatives of the Italian Pope snatched, from the feet of the Lynbrook bronze doughboy a wreath placed there by a : Protestant.’ organization, and the Pope con¬ trolled New York Herald parades anc\ glorifies (Continued (Q,w, Page Three), »< ... >* Price SI.50 Per Year Where the American Catholics are Making Their Fatal Mistake By Thos.

And our people abolish would be willing for the Leg is lature to it, outright. Instead of serving the farmers, the De¬ partment of Agriculture has been converted into a State agency for the Guano Trust and the Oil Companies. Commissioner Brown boasts that the in¬ coming Governor fears the strength of the Brown machine.

There is no surer way for Governor Walk¬ er to kill himself and wreck his administration, than for him to attempt to shield J. J. Brown. Governor Walker’s fight against Clayt Robson’s Kimball House lobby is commenda¬ ble. Decency demands that Lobbydom be out¬ lawed. But, there are two kinds of lobbies in the State of Georgia, and public policy, amd po¬ litical consistency, demand that the incoming Chief Executive train his guns on ALL of¬ fensive lobbyists. The private lobby is sup¬ ported by the Special Interests. The Public Lobby is the insidious agent used by the Browns, the Soules, and the Highwaymen; and THIS PUBLIC LOBBY IS FINANCED BY THE STATE Or Georgia. Taxes will continue to climb skyward until thc Legislature abolishes useless offices. The public schools will continue to lag behind, until the Legislature trims the dead limbs from the Department of A i-culture, the Highway Department, and the Public Service Commission. Our Confederate Veterans will not receive their pensions, and our people will not be giv¬ en free school books, until the Georgia Legis¬ lature adopts this Platform: X()T A DOLLAR FOR THE BOARDS, BUREAUS, AND SAT, ARY-GRABBERS 17NTIL THE COMMON SCHOOLS AND THE Yets are taken care of. There is no legal obligation resting upon the Legislature to appropriate running expens¬ es for the Department of Agriculture. The fact that the present Commissioner has diverted the department from its original course, ab¬ solves the Legislature of all moral duty to provide funds for its maintenance. Let the Legislature adjourn sine die with¬ out voting one dollar to Brown’s political ma¬ chine. The farmers are willing; the tax-pay¬ ers can’t kick; and the only disastrous result possible would be the enlargement of the army of unemployed. J. J. Brown himself is not a farmer; he is i A guano agent. The men holding office under Brown are not farmers: they are, as a rule, sappers and miners, who feed at the public crib, while their neighbors and fellow-citizens toil, the year round, to provide support for their own house held and for the drones as well. issued Weekly Henry Ford , Or The Money Trust — Which ?

Ford It is perhaps true that Mr. has never lectured at either Princeton, Harvard, or Yale. It is true that ho does not. run with the heaven¬ ly-minded set, commonly called the Upper Class. It is true that he hasn’t surveyed tho fields set apart for Darwin, Spencer, Henry George, William J. Bryan, and other mind emancipators. But, neither of those alleged handicaps is a good reason for belittling Mr. JMrd’s achievements in the business world* Mr. Ford’s ambition to be of service to the great mass of our people, farmers and, workers, is a commendable trait. Of course, the celebrated Louis Seibold. whose articles are printed by the over-ready press, Democratic and Republican, is again.-tj Henry Ford, simply because Seibold’s souivq of income can be traced to Wall Street. If you will stop a minute and start your mental motor, as William Hairston would say, you may discover why tho reactionary news¬ papers of the two dominant political parties print the pot-boiled stuff written by Louis Seibold. Seibold attacks all Progressive thought, all Progressive legislation, and all Progressive lawmakers—both Democrats and Republicans, liis vicious strictures aimed at Henry Ford, La Follette, Borah, Hiram John¬ son, and other Progressives, tickles the ribs of the reactionary groups now in full control of the two old parties. Seibold’s attacks on Henry Ford are win¬ ning thousands of friends for the Dearborn, man. Our people are beginning to realize why the Money Trust hates Henry Ford, .nd tho people are not inclined to swallow this Seibold dope, which is manufactured in Washington City and New York and mailed to every re¬ actionary daily paper willing to pay the price. The one great outstanding point in Henry Ford’s favor is this: The American people have reached tho parting of the ways: we must surrender, body 1 and soul, to the standard Money Trust; in or we must ac¬ cept the Ford lieu of the so-called Gold standard. As a rule, the multi-millionaire favors making his dollar as powerful and oppressive to competition, as possible. We naturally rea¬ son that when a man accumulates blind 1 ds of millions of dollars that he would favor tho gold standard shield which is thrown around the American dollar. But, Mr. F ■ d does not take that view of the matter. If you will read his Dearborn Independent, you find the man advocating an increase of the volume of cash money. Yes, sir; Henry Ford believes that the government should retain, and not surrender. (Continued on Pago Four.) Wo 35
