of
their duty, and if I can do this I will feel that I have accomplished
a task that will eventually call forth the plaudits of the American
people, for as sure as God reigns, just that sure our public schools
will be crushed out of existence by Catholicism unless Protestant
America raises her voice and her strong arm in defense of our public
school system, and against the encroachment of the damnable and
diabolical doctrines of Catholicism.

Our greatest American statesmen, our greatest American patriots, our

dogmas, and purge the shores of the "home of the brave and the land
of the free" of this scarlet-robed hag, who would paralyze our
American institutions which are near and dear to every pure American,
both man and woman, who dwells beneath the folds of the American
flag.

An institution which is allowed to flourish in this country, should
be an institution whose teachers are in harmony with the fundamental
principles of godliness, morality and liberty, and unless they are,
the teachers at once become traitors.

Now, is not this common sense logic and every-day philosophy?

We want to investigate and see if this logic and philosophy is not
reasonable and founded upon common sense, and if we find that it is,
then any man or woman of intelligence must acknowledge that if the
teachings and the fundamental principles of a free country are
correct, then the doctrines of Catholicism are altogether wrong, and
the sooner the American people can arrive at this concl
