It may sound strange to the average reader when I declare that all of
the lives lost and all of the money expended by the United States
upon Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands was brought about by
the tyrannical rule of Rome, for it was by her abominations that Cuba
rebelled, which was the prime cause of the interference by the
government of the United States; therefore you can readily see why it
is that I claim that Catholicism is to blame for the part that the
government of the United States took in the affairs of these
countries, and what puzzles me so much is why the government of the
United States still permits Catholicism to control the destinies of
these countries, when the officials of this government know full well
that had it not been for abhorrent Catholicism that Cuba would never
have rebelled and that Porto Rico would have been satisfied, and that
the Philippine Islands would not to-day belong to the United States;
but, instead of this government trying to remedy the great wrong
done to the inhabitants of these countries, it went right ahead and
allowed the bone of contention to remain, and to-day finds this
government not only permitting Catholicism to continue to practice
her abominations in these countries, but this government is
instrumental in sending Catholic teachers over to these countries,
when, if this country would do its whole duty, it would not permit
Catholicism to take any part in the affairs of these countries.

Archbishop Chapelle was shipped to the Philippine Islands with all
the pomp of a ruler, and so was Archbishop J.J. Harty, whom I am
personally acquainted with, and whom I have been on intimate terms
with for a number of years, and this man Harty is to-day in the
Philippine Islands ruling with the same tyrannical hand that has
characterized Romanism for centuries past, and whose rule is only
symbolic to ruin, as the interests of the inhabitants of these
countries are never considered, as it is Rome's ambition and only
desire to keep them under the heel of perpetual tyranny.

We would like to know why Archbishop Chapelle should be given the
best stateroom in a transport ship sailing for Manila, while our
pure-blooded, honest, sincere Protestant boys who wear the blue were
huddled together like so many cattle.

Ah, this is the reason: Archbishop Chapelle is an emissary of the
Pope of Rome a
