Catholics Not All Papists No. 4 'Address all Communications to The Crusader, lola, Kansas Entered as Second Class Matter March 6, 1914, at the office at lola, Kansas, Under the Act of March 3, 1879. cialists finally reign, or will the Holy church take tht world! The conflict is now on and one or the other will meet defeat, one or the other will ride the world." Now do you understand why Roosevelt, Taft and now President Wilson, Bryan, Champ Clark and all the federal officials, be tliey republican or democrat, fall over one another to attend any Roman Catholic picnic, whether the birthday of Cardinal Gibbons, or the kowtowing and bowing to a cracker as God? It's not religion, it's politics. If it were religion, The Crusader wouldn't be interested, but it's because the "allied interests," the plutocracy, (who own the federal government,) are lined up against Americanism, because Rome says it's Socialism, that the plutocracy's servants, the government, must support Rome against this bogie man of straw. It's not the religion, but the politics, that interests The Chusadbr, and should interest all true Americans.

The intimation that the opposition to Rome is opposition to the Catholic religion, and that the country ia to be rescued from Rome to be given to Protestantism is only "robbing Peter to pay 'Paul." Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, and the founders of our government contemplated the separation of religion and state, or the Masonic ideal as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, and this the Roman heirarchy well knows and all tiue Masons should know. The pope and the bishops and priests don't dodge the question. They know, and proclaim that they arc against the fundamental ideas of democracy in Europ8 und Americanism in the United States. Catholicism in an heirarchy. Pope Pius in his "Syllabus of Errors" says: "To teach that the people is the seat of authority as atheism.

The seat of authority must be and will remain in the patrimony of Saint Peter," and ojly recently Pope Pius the present Roman pontiff, published' 8 'jull in which he says: Pope Pius of blessed memory, declare! most emphatically against the seat of sovereignty being resident in the people and also decreeing against any form of political state being valid while in a separate form from church. "These words are the words of God through His shepherd and must remain in force as most imperative commands." Surely that's plain enough is it not! To call democracy and Americanism, atheism, and Socialism, don't make it so, but it does scare the unthinking, and the Jesuits only look at tho end, the means can be as mean as possible-, as their policy is the "get there Eli" plan, and their end is th rule of the pope, the establishment of "the most ho'y office of. the inquisition," the laws of ll church to rule above the laws of the state, the rack, thumbscrew, and stake, the closing of the public schools, except as additions to the church, the control of the church heirarchy, no marriages but as given by the church, no man like Priest Hans Schmidt to be brought before a civil magistrate, and so on. Do you want this! Are you to be scared into favoring it because the church calls it atheism, Socialism, and what not? If you are, you are "dodging the issue." Don't be fooled by the Jesuit trick of calling Americanism, atheism, and Socialism. Rome seeks to divide the people on this issue, and she has lots of them fooled, even the Socialists themselves refrain from advocating free schools, and are silent on the subject of the separation of the church and state for fear of attacking religion, but there is only one religion that will be attacked in its avowed policy by the advocacy of public schools and the separation of church and state, and that is the church of Rome.

In November, lii3, I wrote an article on. the question of the "First Political Demand of the Socialist Platform'1 ''Free Press, Speech and Assemblage," saying that the party also stood for free schools and free conscience, and they should be added to their state and local platforms, this I sent to Jos. C. Schawe, state secretary for Ohio, to hand to the Columbus Socialist. His reply lays before me dated November 72, 1913, he disapproved of the idea and said: "Just as soon as you go to attacking any religion you divide the workers," etc.

Here a state secretary of the Socialist party declares that to advocate free schools and free conscience, is to attack religion. Now Secretary Schawe is not a Roman Catholic, but he is talking Romanism, He is dodging the issue. He is afraid to stand out squarely on the issue of Americanism, because he is playing polities and is bidding for the Roman Catholic vote. If the Socialist party leaders in the United States would stop sacrificing principles for expediency, they would gather seven to ten votes to any one Catholic vote, and the party that will win in 1916, will be the party that does not dodge the issue, and the issue will be Americanism, Rome rule or home rule, democracy or the papal rule, and the death of all liberty. Don't dodge the issue.

How the Artful Priests Fool the Suckers Whenever, Papish priests oceni anxious to insist that any particular thing is as they say, you may rest assured that it is false, it is not so. Whence their anxiety that it shall be taken as an assumed fact, that all professing Catholics are therefore dependable tools to enforce the political or temporal claims of the Papacy If it were unequivocally true, wherefore the need of specially organizing them into secret, and oath-bound organizations? If they are dependable in their allegiance to the claims of the pope as the rightful sovereign over all civil governments, and that when it is the opportune moment they will be ready to defend that sovereignty by force of arms. Why in Mexico, in England, in France and in the United States have they these secret orders, and why, as has been before asked, is it necessary to divide, and grade the members of their traitorous military organization, the Knights of into four separate oath-bound degrees? How is" it that a Knight of Columbus is not deemed by thenKentirely and utterly dependable, until he has passed through the three degrees preeeeding the fourth, where he takes at last am oath that is identical in its obligations with the full-fledged Jesuit? The fourth degree makes a Knight really a complete Jesuit. Of course he is only an operative Jesuit that nledsrfid The rule of the people or the rule of tho pope is the world-wide issue before the world today. It is not distinctly an American issue but it is an international issue.

This issue is between democracy, and the rule of a church, and that church ruled by one man, the pope. It's curious that the people cannot see and understand it or the politicians, when the cardinals, archbishops, bishops and leading priests, not only see it, but proclaim it openly, and the leaders of the plutocracy see it, and are lined up with the church. Archbishop Blenk in his Easter sermon in 1913 said: "The whole world' is watching two mighty forces today. to murder, by the dagger, the bullet, by poison, and to hang, burn, flay, or; to dash the brains out of the children of heretics, and to 'do the Jack the Ripper act to their women? Why? Logically there can be but one logical reason, and that is, that until they have been led step by step, up, or rather down, to that depth of infamy, they are not dependable. Of the ignorant dupes of Rome can be boozed wo to burn orphan asylums.

And hsasr thos ihoir its doctrine that the people are the right source vf power; the other is the Holy Catholic church, the body and bride of Jesus Christ, united to her lawful pastor and bishop, our most holy father, the Roman pontiff. The Socialists affirm all things have a material basis and that the people have the right to inaugurate a system of pure democracy for the government of the loorid; the Catholics say that all printed in the Northern papers, and at this the Papists took fright and. declared that it was the plot of Southern people, hut while it was true that some Southern Catholics were in this plot, yet this fact is suggestive, that not on mait from ihe South was interested in it, or for that matter, even knew of it except by rumor, who was not a Roman Catholic. So it can plainly be seen that it was not a confederate plot, but a Jesuit plot, and when the got out the sneaking Jesuits were ready to make the Confederates and the Confederacy tho scape goat to carry the bl8me of their deviltry. According to no less an authority than Rev.

Dr. McGovern, of Chicago, in his attempt to excuse the Pope Pius IX for his letter recognizing the Confederacy, he said: "Rome was overrun with the sympathizers of the Confederacy in the winter of 1862-63. The majority were from Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky, and some from the Northern states." This shows that it was a Roman Catholic movement, and that only incidentally was it a confederate plot, and as we see and know, the moment a rumor of the plot came out to public notice, they were ready to escape the onus and blame by charging it wholly to the confederacy, showing it to be a Romanist plot. Nor was the Roman Catholic church less active on the confederate side. Even Rev.

Dr. McGovern says of the matter in his excuse for Pope Pius IX "The pressure became most violent. Even the secession of the Catholic church in the South from Rome was threatened." This of course is Father McGovern defense of the pope, but those who know the inner councils and workings of the church of know just how much such talk is worth. The pope needed no stimulus to his hatred of theAmerican republic, with bim it was only a matter of expediency, nothing more. On the side of the confederacy, when things began to look dark, or at least doubtful, or that the struggle was to be longer and more severe than had been and when the French, or rather Romish intervc: Mexico began to show its true object, Father Biun.uJ, of and the Catholics of Louisiana, and all over the confederacy became active.

The confederate cabinet was assured that the French troops in Mexico, and more that could be brought, and Austrian troops, could be depended upon to aid the confederacy if it sought the aid and recognition of the Vatican. That France and Austria had sent troops to Mexico to defend the interests of the church, and they would send troops into the Southern states to assist' the confederacy the moment the confederacy took sides with the church and solicited the recognition of the Vatican. Very few Americans know "the true inwardness" of the Maximilian intervention, and that it was sought by the church as a landing ground, and base of operations for a Romish invasion of the United States. "Make America Catholic," was then the slogan just as it is now. The idea was to- gather all the Roman Catholic forces and by force of arms to subjugate a country that dared to advocate all that was opposed to Roman doctrines and plans.

That this is true, please remember that Father Bannon, of Richmond was sent to Ireland with instructions "to enlighten the people of Ireland in regard to the "true character of the war." And also he had authority to go also to Rome, "for the purpose of obtaining such sanction from the sovereign pontiff as will strengthen your hands, and give efficiency to your action." Also Father Bannon was to have a northern priest as an associate. Father Bannon and his associate northern priest, was to lay the ground for a Roman Catholic rising or enlistment of troops against the bated flag that represented Thar it was61. secret mission, just like Bishop Lynch 's member, Benjamin's letter of introduction said: "He is proceeding to Europe on a visit which he will fully explain to you." It is recorded that this was so because it "had better not be spread on the records of the state department." In plain words, the church of Rome, with the aid of France and was going to use the desperate fortunes of the confederacy as a means to introduce the troops of these Catholic powers to fight against the North, and the Catho- lies of the North were to burn Northern cities, introduce cholera and small-pox, and by mobs and uprisings to attack the federal forces in the rear. It was as villainous a scheme as the massacre of St. Bartholomew, or any of the many other pieces of wholesale murder the church has ever executed.

Nothing short of the Providence of God defeated the conspiracy. Later, in Europe, the church set Austria upon protestant, pope-cursed Germany, but Bismark was well informed and prepared, and again the pope-blessed plan went to smash. Had bis "infallible" Lord Godness been just one percent infaUibh, he would have set both Austria and France onto Germany at one and the same time, but like here in the United States, his infallibleness wasn't up to the pure food law standard, and label and contents of the package didnt agree. the plan is both political and military. Political to get hawnd dawg politicians to give them the offices, and military to get Catholics into the militia, and military, naval and police forces, and get Knights of Columbas and other secret'orders armed and drilled, ready for the stroke to be made when the pope's advisers think throat cutting, shooting, hanging, burning and flaying can be done successfully.

Invade from the inside. If the archives of the secret service of that time have not been destroyed, as they were suppressed from publicity, all this record must be there Most of this information was given me by two old secret service men who were active on the job. One of them made me swear I would never divulge his name, even after his death, but the other, John S. Dye, told me on his death bed, "I don't care 'after I am dead, who knows that I told you, for it is God's truth. You can say I said so." Abraham Lincoln knew all these facts, and had he lived, might have made them public, and it was the fear of this, more than anything else that made the Roman political machine determined that he must be assassinated, and thus the truth be suppressed.

The failure of the papal plan to "Make America Catholic" at that time, with Roman Catholic Mexico on one side and Canadian French Roman Catholicism on the other was due to the Providence of God then, nothing but the interposition of the Providence of God can save the United States now," and defeat the hellish plans of Rome today. Had the men who were fighting the battbs to save the republic during the Civil War, known of the great conspiracy of the Church of Rome, and its plans to burn their homes, and slaughter their, wives and dear ones at home, they would have turned their guns.

was only tha cowardice of those who knew the truth, and feared to see another war, and more bloodshed, that suppressed, yea, even destroyed the records of the secret service, and the records of the state department.

All the issues of the world are involved in these positions if the people rule, God does not; if God rules the people shall not. The line of cleaverage is between the Socialists and the cailwlics." C. Van DeVen, bishop of Alexandria, in his St. John the Baptist Day speech, 1913, said: "A crisis is near at band. Satan, the God of this world, is going forth to battle his army is the Socialist host.

Their foundation is materialistic, the guiding star is economics, their goal democracy in which the will of sinful men will be supreme. On the other side is the God of heaven. His army is the Holy Catholic church. Its foundation is spiritual, its guiding star is divine revelation, its goal on earth a universal kingdom in which God's own chosen vessel, our blessed shepherd at Home, is the recognized seat of mundane authority. The Holy Catholic church alone can put Socialism down and forever." The Cincinnati Times-Star, a paper owned by the brother of "William H.

Taft, and all the standpat sheets nearly, put this on their front page, thus fully indorsing it. All the Hearst papers, the New York World and all the leading 'democrat papers put the speech out with approval. Both the bishop and the archbishop use the term Socialism, as they define it, the people as the source of power, is opposed to the pope as the supreme authority, both civil and political. That is to say the statement that we have accepted in the Declaration of July 4, 1776, "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty fend the pursui of happiness. That to, secure these rights, governemtns are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," is atheism, (Socialism, and boogie man.

This declaration, and the logical consesuences that follow, that is toleration, free speech, press or assemblage, Bchools and free conscience, or the separation, not only of the churchi and state, but of religion and the state, constitutes what we call Americanism, and all this the Roman Catholic hierarchy tells us is atheism, it is Socialism, and if they could coin a term more likely to scare the ignorant and timid, they would do it, for its boogie man, but with all their scare lines, and gong beating what they are throwing a fit over, is only Americanism here in this United States, and democracy in Europe. That the Socialists all over the world stand fort the same thing in their political demands, and add them to their economic demands, don't alter the Americanism in it ia tha United, nor the democracy in it in Europe, If wis oat Hka Socialism, and Socialists believe in Americanism, it is no sign that we who do believe in Americanism and have got to throw it up and join its ene. mies, any more than we must stop eating because Socialists eat and have good appetites, but the wily Jesuit eays, the men who are scared at Socialism, and don't like it, we wiii call Americanism, Socialism, and thus divide the sentiment on Americanism.

But more. The secret service men had informed Lincoln that there was a plot, and an organization of Romanists whose leaders had been shadowed to the Episcopal residence of Hughes and that he was a party to that plot, which was to set fire to the city of New York. More, some of those leaders were priests in disguise, who had come from the Jesuit headquarters in Montreal, Canada.

These statements were given to me in 1879 by an old secret service man who was on tho job of tracing these fellows. He told me, "of course I 'don't know what Lincoln said to Hughes, but I do know that President Lincoln was informed all about the plot, and knew more than I did, as I only worked with others on a part of it, but when Hughes came back to New York and 4 mil. 4-Vn4. ah In 1859 and 18G0, Rome was a sympathizer with the movement to destroy the union. She had not yet fully recovered from the big set back the native American movement had given her, but she had learned that to destroy the American government and ideals, she must be more covert and concealed in her methods.

In the South the Catholics were especially active, and when Abraham Lincoln was to pass through Baltimore the secret service discovered a conspiracy composed entirely of Catholics, headed by a Romanist by the name of Burke, and all under the direction of a Jesuit priest, and the whole conspiracy was hatched and planned in its initiative in Montreal, Canada, the Jesuit headquarters in North America then, and today. I will have occasion to refer to this fact later. It was to this Jesuit headquarters that the order came from Rome to assassinate Abraham Lincoln in 1S65, and it was from here that Surratt brought the money' to pay the assassins. It was by the trailing from here of the disguised Jesuit priests that the plot to burn New York' City was discovered, and Archbishop Hughes was told by Abraham Lincoln, face to face, that the plot was known, and Hughes and tha Catholic church would be held accountable unless it was called off at once. In fact Lincoln had already, as he advised Archbishop Hughes, a brigade of infantry, a regiment of cavalry, and a body of artillery to send at once to New-York, and to give no quarter to the conspirators.

It wea not alone New York City, but the secret strrice, and a lot of special Rgents, had uncovered and discovered a plap to set fire to the principal cities of the North, and even of their plans was to obtain infected clothing, and spraf1 both the cholera and th smallpox through ths) pauu.icu hug uvju mull Luab Bpecuu. ja iuo, auu. mere was no fire set, I can judge that "Lincoln told him that if fires were started he, Hughes, would be held accountable.
