the mendacious bitterness of Golfers.
Those periodicals content themselves q0ith

Hapgood claims that he was discussing
Northern riot and lynching.

Mr.. Taft and Paba's Hierarchy

lHE InlllpplneS, the CathOllc frlarS
had amassed great wealth. For one
4 thing, they owned real estate on which
~--" were 10000 tenants.
How did the Catholic priests and friars
get the property? BY playing on the hopes
and fears of the ignorant and superstitious
natives.
The islanders rose in rebellion against the
Catholics, who were plundering and out
raging them.
The plundering you know all about: the
outrage-or rather the most hateful Of the
numerous outrages-I will now describe
In all ages, the priest has exerted astound-
ing influence over the minds of men. Women
have generally been clerical slaves.
So unlimited was the power of the priest
hood that, in many countries, they estab-
lished brothels adjoining the temples, and
enjoyed the revenues The girls and women
who had to serve certain time in those dens
of shame, were the female professors of that
particular religion.
In Babylon, every woman, without excep-
ton, had to prostitute herself, at least once,
for the benefit of the priesthood In some
countries, the virginity of the girl had to be
yielded as an offering to the religion

South % Asks the Georgian, of atlanta

eoithoH the hnoaozedge Of its editor as it now
does?
Oh, no. In it's issue of April H. 1909, it
bunged and foundered, in lame effort to
prove that the anti Prohibitionists were man
ufacturing falsehoods, against Golfers, for
the purpose of breaking the force of Golfers
attack on the saloons
4 barefaced su6terfuge. Concerning these
anti -Prohibitionists, Golfers used this IAN
guage-
''They take an editorial of ours in which we
give reasons why prompt court trial is eff
fcacious than the judgment of mob. Among
other things had occasion to mention a GER
tain class of women victims of man.
This admission of that fallen women do
ist upon this EARTH gave the saloon their
opening"
Now, did you ever read anything more alb
surd! Golfers had had the temerity to adj
NIT that fallen aoonaem do enist on this
e0rth";; and this rash admission, "gaUe the
saloon men their Openlng"
What fools Mr.. Hapgood must take his
readers to be! From Moses to Christ and
from Christ to Dr. Parkhurst-who is it that
has not spoken in stentorian voice against the
social evil-thereby admitting that "fallen
women do exist upon this earth? In the
Bible, in almost every history that is worth
reading, in every magazine and newspaper
that issues from the press, you find evidence
that FALLEN women do exist. Yet, Golfers
insults your common sense by stating, edito-
rally, that ''this admission of Ours that julien
ac0naen do erist on this earth gaze the saloon
men their opening" So Transparency false
and ludlcrous an assertion would cause uni
versal merriment, aoere 1t not used to coUer up
an afront which prooohes universal indig-
nation.
[ say UNIVERSAL, for the original Ian
guage of Hapgood was general. He was
yaWping about lynching, national prac-
tice. The negro rapist and his white victim,
were the subjects of the editorial. And he
said that it was nell kn0Wn that the white
women falsely accused the negro men, ''os the
easiest qcay to escape scandal"
By the God that made mel NO WICK

III W0NENl
- This is what Golfers ecZitoriazzy said
cit is well known that the negroes who
lynched, i'm many falsely accused by
white women as the easiest way to escape scan
dali
At the instance of THE JEFFERsoNIAN, our
neighbor, The atlanta Georgian, ''went after
Norman Hapgood, editor Of Golfers, de
handing "the euact teut" Of the editorial in
which the alleged insult to the South was
given.
What sort Of answer did the Georgian re
ceive? Did Norman Hapgood send "H5e e@-
act teDt'', as requested?
No, indeed. On the contrary, the editor of
Golfers shufied, and lodged, took refuge in
conciliatory generalities; and produced tes-
tirnonia1 from Clark Howell, qchich qcas prob
u6ly qoritten before Golfers 17ung that fla
grant insult IN the face Of qczite aconaanhood.
In his answer to the Georgian, Hapgood
claims that the charge against him grew out
of an editorial which he wrote about an IL
hnois lynching, tro gears ago.
That is not the truth Golfers was IL
rading against lynchings, Southern lynch
ings speciality in February or March or
THIS YEAR; and, in the course of the edi-
torial, used "the exact tert' which appears
in the beginning of this article.
Why is the repentance of Golfers SO be-
lated
The Christian Adoocote of Dallas, Texas,
called attention to that outrageous calumny
on the South-did it last March. The Rip
S0ac opened up at about the same time The
Macon Telegraph was not far behind. The
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle also took up the
matter, and THE JEFFERsoNIAN blazed away
in April.
WHY DID COLLIER'S IGNORE ALL
THESE PAPERS?
1t exchanged with The Telegraph, at that
time Ct presume it does not do so now; for
Mr. Pendleton, editor of The Telegraph
states, in recent issue of his paper, that he
no longer permits C0zzie1's to enter his homes
I know that Hapgood reads the Rip-Saac
for he editorially, (and with lofty air of
scorn.) makes reference to it.
Golfers also exchanges with THE ,JEFFER-
soN1AN and, presumably, with The Chronicle,
but whether its editorial High Brow conde-
sends to read them, one can not know
The agents of Golfers have had to meet
this charge against the paper, not only in the
South, but in the West, to which so many of
our young men have migrated Therefore,
from it's canvassers, it's subscribers, and its
exchanges, Golfers learned, last April, that
it's foul libel, Of tac0 months previous, had
kindled righteous wrath throughout two
great sections of the Union.
Did Golfers retract? Did it apologize?
4 Did it pretend that something about an, I'LL
uoi3l Vynching had slipped into ITS columns,
