People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 January 1894 — “Romanism.” [ARTICLE]

“Romanism.”

Everett Halstead delivered two lectures at the court house, last Friday and Saturday evenings, on the subject of “Romanism.” We are not here to criticize, but in regard to a statement he made in which he said if he wanted an article published in the columns of this paper, he was compelled to sign his name to it. But, if “Observer,” who occasionally , contributes an article, and especially one on the Catholic church, that We printed some weeks ago, which Mr. Halstead referred to, his(Observer’s) name is omitted from the article. We desire to say for the benefit of Mr. Halstead, and all others, that NO contributed articles, it matters not what its nature is, will be published in the Pilot, unless the signature of the writer appears with it. As we hy. v, 2 said before, th&t Subject within rea«Otiibi§ bounds, could i be fiibcussed "through the columns of this paper, but that we were not responsible for the ideas of the writer. Mr. Halstead came to. us and wanted his articles published’, bt't hoi over his own, fiigfiKture. We do not i kfidw why. Further we do not care. We are trying to furnish a newspaper that will please, our readers, and by their united j help well do it* too. ,
