DANGERS TO BE FEARED
Flood of Foreign Immigration to
America and Catholic Rule
Menace to Freedom
Editor The Journal.—We find in
life two characters as far apart as
the east from the west, yet neither
of them commendable. One is the
mote hunter -the habitual fault
finder, who is so self-centered that
he finds no good in any man or
measure that does not belong to
his class, or wear his brand. With
him one thorn shades a dozen
roses and one blotch is more prom
inent than a thousand beauties.
The other is the broad-guaged
liberalist who, with a blurred vis
ion, calls all things beautiful.
We should seek to walk between
these extremes, and judge things
according to their merits.
It is a great thing to be an
American citizen. As such, we
have things to love and things to
fear. Some talk of America’s
greatness as a refuge for the op
pressed of other nations, and I am
frank to say that many worthy
people have found in her warm
welcome a happy life and a happy
home. But all rules have excep
tions.
Take the song bird from the storm,
It will sing to you in gladness;
Take a serpent in your arms.
It will sting you in its madness.
So with the crowds of foreign
ers that are coming to our shores.
We fear there are more serpents
than song birds.
Don't go to sleej) while the song birds
sing.
Ijest you awake with the serpent’s
sting.
There is such a thing as “un
desirable citizens,” and the ma
jority of foreigners belong to that
class. Why? First, other nations
are dumping their refuse upon us.
It is not the first grade people, but
the last grade people, who come
in swarms to mix and mingle and
become a part of our nation. Sec
ond, where Rome has ruled, ruin
has resulted.
Three things America can boast
of is (1) her free and Democratic
government, under which every
man can worship God according
to the dictates of his own consci
ence, without fear or molestation;
(2) separation of church and state,
givi ; equal rights to all, and
special privileges to none, and (3)
our free school system. These
are the three strong pillars that
support the American temple.
Destroy them and the temple be
comes a wreck.
Our eagle of freedom would then take
its flight.
The owl of thick darkness would hoot
with delight,
Superstition's thick veil would enve
lope our face.
It’s feasts and its follies would lie our
disgrace.
The Roman Catholic church
hates a free and independent state.
She claims that as God is above
man, so should the church be
above the state—the Pope above
the King. She wants union of
church and state, (1) that the
church may rule the state, (2)
that the state may support the,
church and (3) that through the
state the church may control her
etics (Protestants.)
Another thing Rome hates is
our free schools. She loves dark
ness rather than light because her
deeds are evil. Ignorance is a soil
in which superstition grows it
strongest weeds. If you think
Catholics are friends to our free
schools, read this from Freeman’s
Journal a Catholic paper:
“The public schools are nurser-!
ies of vice, and the future of the !
Catholic religon in this country is
bound up with the exclusion of all
schooling not under Catholic direc
tion and control. Let the public
school go to where it came from—
the devil.”
Another Catholic paper the
Catholic World, in commenting on
the public school, said: “Educa
tion must be controlled by Catho
lic authorities, even to war and
bloodshed.”
I for one think it is time to
sound the note of warning, since
there is no other people growing
so fast in our country as the Cath
olics and this growth is mostly
through foreign immigration. A
year ago they numbered 15,015,
,569, while ten years ago they
numbered 10,976,757, which shows
an increase in ten years of 4,038,
817, or nearly half a million a
year.
As nearly every Catholic voter
in under the absolute control of
the bishop, you do not wonder
that Mr. Taft (whose wife is a
good Catholic) is putting Catholics
on the supreme bench, and send
ing love letters to the Pope. And
do you wonder that Woodrow
Wilson has a Jesuit for his secre.
tarv, and that he signed the bill (a
Catholic measure) prohibiting of
ficers of the state the right to per
form marriage ceremonies.
Folks, keep your eyes open
when you go to vote.
So far as religon is concerned,
Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson have the
same right as other Americans. If
Mr. Taft wishes to stoop and kiss!
the Pope’s big toe as other fools j
have done, or if Mr. Wilson wishes |
to rub his stomach with the wrist
bone of Queen Ann, thinking
thereby to cure indigestion, let
them pay the priest and try the
remedy. But when either of them
think they can play the Benedict
Arnold and betray our American
people, into the hands of an Italian
despot, they will find some one ob-i
jecting.
In speaking of Catholicism, in
Germany, Prince Bismark said: j
“This pope, this foreigner, this
Italian, is more powerful in this:
country that) any other man, not
excepting the king. He would usei
fire and sword against us if he had j
the power, and he would confis
cate our properey and woul notj
spare our lives.’
I am not opposing Rome because, i
as a church, I do not agree with j
her religious doctrines, no, no, but j
because of her political position in j
the world. I can do no better than
close this article with a quotation
from a great English statesman,!
Robert Montague: “The church of j
Rome is not a body of theological
beliefs, but an immense secret so
ciety animated in all parts of the
world with one ambition, moving
everywhere and at all times to
ward one end the establishment
of absolute power for itself over
all men in all lands.”
