I do not agree your right to say it.” You’re Welcome To the Editor of Juve Please grant me the favor of print- ing this letter in an early issue of so that if Mr. Babcock should chance to again spend fifteen cents for a copy of Junce he may, perhaps, e how uncalled-for are his ‘isms of things about which he evidently knows nothing. If I were ineapable of choosing a magazine equal to my intelligence I would not proclaim the fact to the world through the medium of a mag- ‘ azine which is recognized as one that the educated read—although, of course, there are exceptions—Mr. Babcock, for instance. Catholics, and especially graduates of Catholic institutions of learning, are enthusiastic patriots and would never even think of offering such a direct insult to the Constitution of the United States and the men who were responsible for it as Oregon has done by trying to abolish religious freedom—and that is what their ac- tion amounts to—when that is the very thing that caused our ancestors } to endure all kinds of hardships in / finding and living in a free country. 1 Where in all the world is there any- thing more vile than that? Why, even a “rum hound”—to use Mr. Babcock’s expression—would pause. Evidently Mr. Babcock would like to see “Jupce on the bench” wear a nightgown and a hood and preach any kind of a doctrine as long as it hy was against Catholics, instead of being the impartial critic which he has always been. Thank you, James F. Dugan Hellertown, Penna. January 19, 1927. Poison Your Honor: This cross-bone Poi- son Parade editorial, that appeared in the January 22d issue, is the best flash of intelligence that you've 4 flickered since this country went under the rule of trigger-pulling | evangelists, quack doctors of divinity, the Anti-Saloon League, ete. If you don’t keep this up they'll be poison- ing our soda-water next. The Humane Society campaigns against the poisoning of cockroaches, cats, dogs, and all kinds of pet animals. But I haven't seen any of them campaigning against the poi ing of the human animals. YOU, JUDGE? Yours till the bootleg gets to be as pure as Ivory Soap, J. H. McKinley Laredo, Texas January 27, 1927. ith a word that you say, but I will defend to the death VOLTAIRE He’d Suppress Us Editor of Juver. : In your editorial in the College number you asked. for suggestions from your readers and I am going to give you mine. Your editorial and other various comments on the 18th mendment are so nauseating that it is time for any one who calls themselves a Pa- triotic American to call a halt. am not an Anti, neither am I what you designate as an Aunty. I have been in between the two ele- ments, the one fighting for the Amendment and the other fighting gainst the Amendment. I have for years liked a drink occasionally and have not fully approved of the 18th Amendment, but having lived before and after and seen the great change for the betterment since the Volstead Act has been approved, I am ready to say I am willing to forego ever taking other drink if we can continue con- ditions as they now are in this country. I used to take a great deal of pleasure in reading Junce, but during the past year it has been going from better to worse and in my opinion is now more radical than any red magazine published in this country. Your publication could not be sent out broadcast in any other country in the world, making the attacks on the constitution of this country your publication does, and if I V your Uncle Samuel your publication of Junce would stop at once. Next to the Declaration of Inde- pendence and the Emancipation Proc- lamation, the 18th Amendment stands as the greatest act for the uplift of humanity ever placed upon our statute books and any man who ad- mits that he cannot see great benefit during the 18th Amendment should consult an oculist, for there is surely something wrong with his eyesight. In addition to the above, I wish to say that “Puns” in the College Number directed at and against our colleges is an insult to our boys and girls who are students in these vari- ous institutions, and no man, unless there be something seriously wrong with him, could picture our boys and girls guzzling booze as you have pic- tured them.
