You The Baby Show OU will notice, by the number of babies we are showing this month, we are doing our very best to get all the little ones in. And it's a hard task, I assure you. Some of the babies "group" beautifully, and that is why we gathered those on page 518, which is really a "page of smiles." was readily obliterated and it has been a hard task sometimes to decipher the names. Again-relatives other than parents would send in photographs, and only the name of the sender would be on the picture. This made a very awkward situation for a young bachelor photographer of a handsome pair of twins. We can imagine his embarassment when we evolved a "Mrs." and added her to his initials. And the parents of the twins were just as much upset as the bachelor photographer. In the September number, the group picture had one baby named wrong; as all the pictures are on one plate, it is impossible to run this little girl's photograph again, as her mother requested. The name should have been Lula Loretta Milleson, and she was the happy little mortal numbered nine, on page 442. We had a number of other pictures to show in this month's issue, but our space was limited, and we could present only two "page babies." 1. William Wirt Ramsay, nineteen months, Carrolton, Ga.: 2.

In Poland it had only a brief existence after its establishment, in 1327. It was in Spain and Portugal and their dependencies that the Inquisition assumed its most hellish form, and committed most devilish atrocities. It was not till 1808, when Joseph Bonaparte was on the Spanish throne, that the Inquisition was suppressed. Under the Restoration, it returned, and was not finally abolished till 1835. In Portugal it lasted far into the 18th century; in Rome and the papal states the Inquisition has never ceased-at present, however, its action is said to be the examination of books and trials of acclesiastical offences, and questions of church law. 3. Since the unification of Italy and the overthrow of the temporal power of the Pope in 1870, the supreme jurisdiction has been limited to the Vatican. 4. The Inquisition was in full blast in the Philippines at the time of our war with Spain. Several years ago, the Inquisition was set up in these United States, which were pronounced by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy to be no longer missionary ground, but a Catholic country. It has not yet begun its action against heresy and heretics, but if we had a few more Presidents like Cleveland, Roosevelt and Taft, th Inquisition would become a terror and a curse to this country. T. E. W. OUR CASE IS RIGHT. Dear Sir: I have been much interested in the articles in your magazine, and took occasion last year to quite generally call attention to them in a little enclosure I had printed and sent out with a thousand copies of "Life and Action." What we need, and what I am trying to aid in my small way, is a plan to unify the many activities going on against the political aspirations of the Hierarchy in control of the Roman Catholic Church. I hope to see the time soon, when we can wield an influence to make the publishers of the other journals sit up and take notice when our toes are tread upon. We could make it pretty hot for magazines sailing under false colors. Our case is right, we shall win in the long run sure. The R. C.'s are on the wrong side-and this is one of the final struggles in which they will receive a crimp that will do them good. Their people are misled; ignorance (73 per cent in Spain, where they have had it all their own way for centuries) superstition, and fear of hell-fire, are weapons that will in the end, act like "boomerangs" as I hope for the best, while facing the worst. With the Catholic people, I have no quarrel. To the Hierarchy in control of the politico-ecclestical machine, my United States and American principles say: "Hold up-you may want to make America Catholic, but you can not do it without strong protest from, not only Protestants, but from Independent Catholics as well. The latter know that ignorance is necessary to Catholic rule, and that poverty is the ultimate condition of the mass of people in Catholic governed Countries." We who oppose the Hierarchy and Italian rule in America-should 1st. Unite. Boycott Catholic publications and Catholic business houses, just as they |
