It is found that the material was of awirulent character, salenfated to discredit the Roman Catholic religion.

The department decided that no pa- per which had for its sole purpose to liscredit any one class of citizens had any right to receive the privi- leges of the mails. As a result, one of the recent issues comes out with a flaring denunciation of Canada's postoflice department, and declares that "The Menace has been refused' the mails by hirelings of Pope Plus' postal authorities at Ottawa. be ,.
