Excerpt from A Socialist's Answer to the Catholic Progress: Commenting on an Editorial in That Paper of Nov. 4, 1904 A Socialist 's Answer to the Catholic Progress is written by one of the people for the people's consideration, in the hope that possibly it will help a few to break away from the old ideas so long driven into them, and set them in a position to do their own thinking.
