IFE PUBLISHING COMPANY. Gentlemen: Your paper is very bright and, for the most part, very good. I thin! however, the publishers should be too g Americans, too patriotic, and have too much respect for the highest office in this glorious country to allow the paper to vilify the man who fills that office, and e pecially when it is filled by a man so much respected as William McKinley. In the name of all that stands for good goven ment, and is opposed to Anarchy, do not lend your paper to Yellow Journalism, cither in words or pictures. The September 12th number received, and Iam sure ] am only one of a very large number of sub- scribers and interested readers of Lire who will think an explanation in order. After 1 looked at the picture on page 205, and vainly searching from cover to cover for one word of kindly reference to our President, who is now suffering the result of “Yellow Journalism,” surely there was time on Sat- urday, if not Monday, to get a few words into the paper in place of the senseless picture referred to above. Respectfully yours, Harry W. Griffin. Rircxtsvinir, N. eptember 11, 1901 Our correspondent’s communication would carry more weight, if his know]- edge were a little more exact as to the time required for printing our paper. That edition of Lire, at the hour tho President was shot, was already printed ; some copies were on their way tothe West. It requires practically a week to print our edition. — Epitor. HIS letter comes to us from Switzer- land : Tux Lore Pestisiuixe Co., New York. Dear Sirs: In your number of the 15th inst., Lsee with pleasure that an American has taken the trouble of bringing before the one of the many cases of directly or Iren by the Jesuits or other Catholic orders. These people, whose laws are not yet known in America, and who take great care that they will not be, are undermining every state. 1 send you by book post a copy of their laws; unfortunately it does not exist in English. No doubt it will soon be suppressed again, as all these inconvenient publications are— as the translations of Liguori, The Saints’ Rules, have been; as Not to the Swift, of The Minerva Publishing Company, New York, 1891, proving that Lincoln's murderer had leen instigated by Jesuits, then declared crazy, has been. Everybody knows that they have been behind the Dreyfus scandal, and you have perhaps read that the authori- ties in Austria, about a year ago, when a daughter had been lured away from her parents, declared that at the walls of the convent their power stops. They are hard at work in America but still as quietly and se- cretly as possible—they first have to get the necessary influence indirectly, by the means you read in the book sent. So far they get great deal of money from America, and I suppose pay no taxes on their enormous fortunes, there as well as elsewhere. The only English book they were not able to confiscate, as far as I know, is that of Pater Chiniqui, telling why he left the Catholic belief. Although American, I have traveled enough to know the excellent net of spies of the Jesuits, not to sign my name. Yours truly, A Parable. CERTAIN man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. And Jericho being his home, he was met by customs officers, who sprang up and choked him, leaving him half dead. Behold, a priest and a Levite came that way, and they passed by on the other side, saying : ‘* Great is protection !"” Buta certain Samaritan, seeing what had taken place, founded a Cobden Club.
