EVANGELICAL PROTEST-
IS
To Combat Tendency of the Hierachy
, to Grasp Political Power Is Pri-
mary Reason for the Re-
organization.
The New York World in its . last
Friday morning's issue published a
most interesting interview with Ed-
ward C. Miller, a prominent business
man of New York city and president
of the Evangelical Protestant Society.
This body has been organized within
the past six months and does not
view with complacency the constant-
ly increasing encroachments of the
Roman Catholic Church as a church
organization, bringing its power and
influence to bear in the political af-
fairs of the United States. It is to
combat this tendency of the hier-
archy to grasp political power that is
the primary reason for this organiza-
tion, Mr. Miller was present in
Washington the day following the in-
terview in the World and was in act-
ive participant in the formation of
the National Patriotic Council, whose
aims and purposes are fully set forth
in this issue of the Fellowship Forum.
The article follows:
"A program of action and a form
of membership pledge will be made
public today and a nation-wide mem-
bership campaign will be officially
opened by the Evangelical Protestant
Society—an anti-papal body which
has been organized quietly during the
past six months.
It has the co-operation of such
well-known clergymen as Dr. Robert
Stuart MacArthur, president of the
"Baptist World Alliance;" Bishop
William Burt of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in Buffalo; Dr. David
James Burrell, in whose study at the
Marble Collegiate Church, the first
organization meeting was held last
December; Dr. John Roach Stratton,
of Calvary Baptist Church; the Rev.
Edward D. Bailey, of the Prospect
Heights Presbyterian Church, Brook-
lyn, who is announced as major au-
thor of the new society's constitution
and the Rev. Oscar M. Voorhees, gen-
eral secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa.
The president of the society is a
business man, well known for his
evangelistic "inclinations—Edward C.
Miller, president of the Magnolia
Metal Company of No. 115 Bank
street. The society aims to include
in its membership the 120,000 Pro-
testant clergymen of the United
States and many times that number

In an interview obtained by the
World yesterday Mr. Miller said:
"The movement, now in its inception,
has dynamic possibilities. We intend
to form an extensive and permanent
organization to fight the Romanist
evil. This is probably the biggest
movement since the days of Martin
Luther.
"We wish to make it clear that
we are not hostile to Roman Catho-
lics as individual churclimen. We
believe there are thousands of noble
Christians in the Catholic Church.
To them it is a great spiritual body.
But to the Pope and his hierarchy it
is only a political organization.
"Yes, I know that the Pope does
not claim to be a political ruler;
nevertheless, that is exactly what he
is. At this moment Papal Nuncio
Bonzano at Washington is bending
every effort to bring about an ex-
change of ambassadors between the
United States and the Vatican. That
is political and not religious.
"What this organization proposes
to do is to establish a research bu-
reau to examine every charge against
the Papacy.
Says Fight Will Be Open.
"Then the results of such research
will be presented to our executive
committee, and that committee will
formulate plans to meet each emer-
; gency by use of the pitiless publicity
. of mass meetings, the circulation of
| literature or other means of arousing
I the public to its peril.
"We will have a press department
in charge of an editor, who will fur-
nish copy to the secular and reli-
gious press and to organizations af-
filiated with this society throughout
the United States. His name .will be
announced later.
"We will not indulge in vitupera-
tion or slander. This movement has
nothing to do with the A. P. A. or
the Ku Klux Klan. There are no
masks or secret oaths. It it not a
secret society or a political organiza-
tion in any sense of the word. The

fight will be absolutely In the open.
"We will fight Papal Rome and
its hierarchy in its attempt to en-
croach on American institutions; for
instance, in its attempt to destroy the
American public school system in the
interest of its parochial schools,
where Papal religious and political
teaching is given.
Will "Expose Efforts."
"We will confront its efforts to
procure sectarian appropriations. We
will serve notice on politicians that
henchmen of the Roman hierarchhy
fill a percentage of the public offlcei
out of all proportion to their per-
centage of the population. We will
combat Its use of the Knights of Col-
umbus, Tammany Hall, the Jesuits
and other organizations to secure the
balance of political power in this
country for the purpose of the Papal
hierarchy.
"We will expose the efforts of the
Catholic hierarchy to create hostil-
ity between Great Britain and the
United States in order to prevent
close co-operation between the two
Protestant countries. We will op-
pose any exchange of ambassadors
with the Vatican."

The first issue of the Bulletin, the
society's publication, sayst
To meet the perils now so ap-
parent to our people the 'Evangelical
Protestant Society' has been organiz-
ed.
Its efforts will be: To unite as
far as possible all organizations hav-
ing the same objects in view and to
enroll as many Protestants as possi-
ble to co-operate in resisting Papal
encroachments.
To secure as far as possible the in-
dorsement and co-operation of all re-
ligiGus papers in this campaign of en-
lightenment.
To serve notice on politicians that
great resentment is being felt
throughout the country that hench-
men of the Roman hierarchy fill a
percentage of public offices out of
all proportion to their percentage of
the population.
We invite all Protestants who are
in sympathy with this movement to
affiliate themselves with us.
We propose to seek a basis of co-
operation with all kindred organiza-
tions which are working to the same
end.
We ask Protestant churches, Pro-
testant religious bodies of every kind,
and all Protestant officials to aid us
with their prayerful sympathy and
by co-operation.
This-movement was born in prayer
and we urge all Christians to pray
for the blessings of God upon it.
SAM 15 OLD STORY BUT A GOOD
ONE.
Mi*3. Mahala Burns, Savanna, Mo.,
relates an experience, the like of
which has happened in almost every
neighborhood in this country, and
has been told and related by thou-
sands of others, as follows: "I used
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years
ago and it cured me of flux (dysen-
tery). I had another attack of the
same complaint three or four years
ago and a few doses of this remetly
curad me. I have recommended it
to dozens of people since I first used
it and shall continue to do so for I
know it is a quick and positive cure
for bowel troubles."

The pep has been taken out of the
eld democratic cry of "negro" in this
campaign because John Fields has
accepted that portion of the demo-
cratic platform declaring for white
supremacy, and cites the democrats
to the fact that the separate school
law was passed by a republican ad-
ministration before statehood, back
in 1901. During the 'registration
period last summer the democrats
were more than diligent in getting
negroes registered, and it is certain
that at least 75 per cent of the negro
vote in Oklahoma is now registered
under the democratic rooster. What
is the good old democratic party com-
ing to when democratic politicians of
the type of Jack Walton will appeai
to the negro vote for political pref-
erence and thus pollute the inbred
principles and natural instincts of
southern democracy? Can you im-
agine a real democrat marching up
to the polls and voting under the
democratic emblem side by side with
the negro? To this great depth has
the party been sunk by Jack Walton
and his cohorts. Anything for suc-
cess was Jack's slogan during the
primary, and he not only appealed to
the negro at the primary but for the
past two years has been appealing to
them by appointing members of their
race to positions in Oklahoma City.
If that is democracy the real demo-
crats of the state have been sadly
misled during the past fifty years.
It takes the south back to the recon-
struction and carpet bag days follow-
ing the civil war and no wonder
they have organized the Ku Klux
Klan for protection from negro dom-
ination, and no wonder the K. K. K.
voted against Jack and his mad
methods. This brings up the ques-
tion as to how many of the state em-
ployees will be negroes if Jack is
raised to the governor's seat? For
years the cry has been to defeat the
lepublicans in this state for fear they
would repeal the Jim Crow law and
the separate school law and now we
are face to face with the problem at
the hands of the so-called democratic
party.
"Chamberlain's Tablets for the sto-
mach and liver are splendid. I nev-
er tire of telling my friends and
neighbors of their qualities," writes
Mrs. William Yollmer, Eastwood, N.
Y. When bilious, constipated or
troubled with indigestion, give them
a trial. They will do you good.
Housework Is a Burden
Woman's lot is a weary one at
best. But with backache and other
distressing kidney ills life indeed be-
comes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made life brighter for
many Stigler women. Ask your
neighbor. Read what Mrs. J. R.
Wood, 609 E. Jefferson St., Stigler,
says: "From the experience I have
had with Dean's Kidney Pills, I am
glad to say they were very satisfac-
tory and I am very glad to recom-
mend them. Sometimes I have se-
vere attacks when my back aches
and pains so I don't feel like doing
.my housework. I get such awful
dizzy spells that everything turns
black before me and specks come
before my eyes that almost blind
,me. My kidneys act irregiularly and
I know they cause the attacks of
backache. I take Doan's Kidney
Pills when I have this trouble and
they certainly are fine for they al-
ways relieve me right away."

M'MDER SEES HOPE
Says Majority of Both Houses Is
Pledged To Bonus Passage.
Washington, Aug. 21. — Hanford
MacNider, national commander of
the American Legion, in a statement
today, declared a personal canvass of
the bonus situation, showed that a
majority of the senate, including
both parties, favors the bill and 13
pledged for its passage.
MacNider predicted that the bonus
bill, which is slated for senate con-
sideration beginning Wednesday,
would be passed by the senate this
week, and added:
"The American Legion has abso-
lute confidence in the good faith and
integrity of the senators pledged to
vote for the bill. It realizes that
they believe in the justice of the
cause of the soldier and knows that
they will keep the faith they have
pledged and pass the bill now."
CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
When the bowels are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines
become packed with refuse matter,
that is made up largely of germo.
These germs enter the vermiform ap-
pendix and set up inflammation,
which is commonly known as ap-
pendicitis. Take Chamberlain *
Tablets when needed and keep your
towels regular and you have little to
fear from appendicitis.
