The Knights of Columbus may find
in its own secret machinations the
cause of the anti-Catholic protest in
American politics, which is sweeping
down candidates known to be af
filiated with the church’s secret po
litical societies, in every State and
City. It is the law of compensation
at work —a law which is none the
less effective that it is denied by
the ecclesiastics who pretend to ab-
THE JEFFERSONIAN
solve offenders from its penalties.
The time will come when to be
known to be a member of the
Knights of Columbus or any of the
affiliated secret political societies
which the Rpman Catholic hierarchy
has set up in the United States to
serve its temporal uses, will be a
bar, instead of an aid, to public pre
ferment. The spirit of free discus
sion, the inherent hatred of the in
quisition and all that smacks of its
intolerance, is too firmly implanted
in the great body of the American
people to permit any conspiracy in
spired by alien ecclesiastics against
their liberties to go unchallenged
and unrebuked.
The money which the nights of
Columbus purpose to spend on in
vestigating religious bigotry in poli
tics is a needless expenditure. They
can find the cause of the nearest
looking glass.—Milwaukee Leader.
