Daens Page #5

A word from you would suffice,

to reduce him to silence.

Father Daens is careless,

Mr Woeste,

But...he has a brilliant mind,

and in that case, I'm not sure

that a remonstration is enough.

Monseigneur, you have other means than a

mere remonstration to ensure his obedience.

When a priest uses his cloth to spread

hostilities, it can be taken away.

Mr Woeste, I'm afraid that only the ecclesiastic

authorities are capable to judge this.

Of course, Monseigneur.

But you must understand me.

I came in everybody's interest,.

to avoid this matter from going

beyond this diocese

and leading us to appeal

to higher instances.

An energetic cure at the right moment

can prevent complications.

Don't you agree?

I understand you perfectly

my son.

An investigation committee

in the factories of Aalst!

An investigation committee

Large demonstration in Ghent

Read "Forwards!"

the socialist newspaper.

You there. Yes you miss!

He wants you.

You must buy this.

I wrote something for you.

I will read it to you.....

....in your ear.

Leave it. It's a fool from Ghent.

You, Reds, can't read.

Your paper smells of hell.

Give me a clean catholic paper.

Hey, Fonske! - Read "Forwards"!

The real newspaper for the workers!

Here. Read this to me,

I can't read.

Me neither...

Read "The Worker"! - You there, big mouth.

What is written here? Can you tell?

I can't read this catholic jargon.

-I told you he couldn't read.

Give that paper to me.

Ladies,

great news.

"Thanks to Doctor Dupont

and his magical salts,

constipation is a thing

of the past!"

That's not what it says. - No?.

-Who can read? You or me?

Then read us Daens' article!

-Here is your article:

Common sense has prevailed.

The government has

decided that a committee

of 6 honourable personalities

will investigate

the factories of Aalst.

They will be able to interrogate

the workers directly....

Surely, you don't believe, what the

priest says, that they'll listen.

They're all the director's friends.

If you want respect from them,

you must change the government

Hence, the parliament first.

But since we don't have a say in parliament,

we need voting rights first!

Who are you to criticize Daens?

There is no one like him in Ghent.

Your priest says the same as we do.

But we did it first.

So loud that we didn't hear it!

Besides, Daens is in our paper and

not in yours, you red cabbage!

This committee only comes to eat.

No potatoes, but fat steaks.
