The only way to stamp out the use OF
opium and cocaine primarily is
through interstate regulation.
Since the importation of opium was
prohibited, in 1909, process of manu-
facture has been evolved which has
left the door wide open again. The
process Of manufacture is very simple
and can be carried on quietly for
years. The crude opium is bought
from druggists who, without an inter-
state regulation law, can import the
crude drug and distribute it at will.

Arthur E. Holder, in a statement
before the employers liability and
wOrkmen's compensation commission
at Washington, asserted that a man
cannot get a new position after he is
40 years old. He said: ''The man
who is over 40 and who has a few
gray hairs cannot get back when he
once loses lis job, but he can hold on
if he has a place." he said. "It is
the same here as in England, and it is
the same in Germany and throughout
the continent"

Similar.

Similar.
Mr.. Suvorin, editor Of the st. Pc
tersburg Novoe Vremya, said in a re-
cent interview: Il have nothing
against the Jews personally, but as a
Russian Patriot, l am opposed to them
If the Jews were given freedom in
Russia, the entire native population, be-
cause it is so uncultured, would find
itself in the hands of the Jews. All
the wealth Of Russia would go over to
the Jewish people" He admitted that
''the struggle is beyond question a
savage one, but then our people are
savages
The editors statement is brutal and
reminds one of some of the utteran-
ces of Tillman, Vardaman. Heflin,
Hoax Smith and other famous or in

To prevent Europe from meddIing with
American affairs, President Monroe 1929
put forth declaration in which he virtually
stated that the Americas were no longer open
to European discovery and colonization; and
that we would oppose the euten8ion of the
European system on this Continent; and that
American Colonies which had set up in the
business of governing Themselves should not
be reduced, by European powers, to their
former condition as dependencies.
This proclamation had the desired effect
The Holy Alliance kept its hands off
The Monroe Doctrine was asserted again. in
behalf of Mexico, when the Emperor Ma
poleon III. manifested a disposition to sup
port Macmillan. (1865)
Later still, we interposed, when Great
Britain was claiming a portion of Venezuela
While the doctrine bears the name of Mon
roe, it is of much earlier origin. Jefferson
distinctly announced the same principle; and
Washington must have had it in mind, when
he announced his neutrality policy. A corral
larry to the proposition that we would not in
terfere in European affairs is, that Europe
mustn't interfere with ours.
My own opinion was that we should not
have permitted the fleets of the European
powers to GEORGE Venezuela, few years ago
and | do not believe that this country would
''stand for" that kind Of thing again It
would not have been tolerated, then, had not
Wall Street and the Morgan interests been
favorably disposed.

ness, the American wage-earnerS voted for
lawmakers whose legislation made paupers of
themselves.
Instead of organizing to vote right, and to
have Competition restored, thus dissolving
the Trusts, achich limit qc0yT, and keep d0oUno
the output, the laboring men resort to the
futile policy of fighting the Devil with fire
To resist Trust, they form a Trust The
Labor-union is their Trust the capitalistic
Trust, is the millionaire employers Union
In fighting the Devil with fire, we give the
Devil all the advantage. Perhaps, that is the
reason why General Toombs was justified in
SAYING
"'The Devil has been fighting the Almighty
for 5000 years; and seems to be holding a
pretty good hand, yet"
If our people would lay aside partisan poll
tics, study the effects of legislation on human
conditions, and then vote for aOhat they aca11t,
regardless of ''party," there would be plenty
of work and good wages for everybody The
natural law of Supply and Demand would
solve all problems
Just such hatreds as those I have referred
to- and just such crimes as are laid at the door
of the imprisoned Labor chiefs, are the result
of the class-legislation which both the old
political parties have chained the under-dog
with, since the Civil War

The Catholic Priests Grabbing
Public Domain

There has been introduced into Congress a
bill which proposes to give away to the
Catholic Archbishop of Santa Fe the enor
NOUS amount of 100000 acres of our public
land.
To appropriate this public property to any
church whatsoever, would be a defiance of the
Constitution of the United States. Nothing
IS more positively prohibited than donations
IN favor of churches and religious sects.
1et the priests of Rome got a portion of
your land at West Point; and now they are
greedily reaching out for a small empire of
your public domain
What do y0u think of this?
Write to your Representative, and to your
Senator and tell them what you think
Unless we Protestants wake up, and do
something, this country will soon be ruled
IN almost everything by this Unsuitable
Italian hierarchy.
If your Congressman fears the Catholic
cote Of the city, make him feel the resentment
of the Protestant cote Of the country.
Make him afraid to violate our funda-
mental law, in behalf of these predatory
priests.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-05-11
The Labor Unions, and the Law

No well-balanced mind will pre- Judge the
cases against Mcnamara, and the other labor
leaders who have been arrested on the charge
OF dynamltlng the publishing plant of Gen.
Otis, at Los Angeles. Their innocence is to
be presumed, until their guilt is proven. They
are entitled, in morals and law, to fair trial,
in open court, by an impartial Jury, selected
in part by themselves. Until then, the public
should preserve an open mind.
To condemn these men, on newspaper re-
ports and detective statements, is eminently
unfair. 10 adjud ge them not guilty and the
victims of capitalistic conspiracy, is equally
irrational.
That the crimes of blowing-up non-union
establishments have been frightfully common.
IS undeniable. That non-unon workers have
been subjected to all sorts of violence and have
been slain by the score, of late years, is no
tOrlOusly true.
That the Rel On of Terror under Gen Bell,
8 in Colorado; the use of soldiers against strik-
ers in Philadelphia; and the atrocities prac-
tised against the laborers in the Pittsburg dis
trict have left legacy of hate, on both sides,
nobody can doubt
There has been ruthless disregard of the
wage-earner, manifested wherever Protection
has mOthered the Trust 1t was so in the coal
fields; so, In the cotton mills; so, in the Steel
industry; so, in the packing works. This
Protection policy breeds two monsters and
both of them are devouring the human race
in this Union. One of these voracious mon
sters is Greed for Dollars; the other is, In
humanity to man. Nothing worse could ever
have been known since God created the world
But the wage-ear themselves have gone
blindly on, voting for the Congressman who
made the laws as the Privileged Few de-
handed. The interest Of the family qcas sac
rifced to that Of the party. To parade the
streets in the procession of the victor at the
ballot-box, was better than voting a reason
able profit into the laborers task. To be
thrown out of job by q Protected capitalist
protected on the plea that he wanted to pay
good wages seemed natural, however unfor-
tunate. To prevent the "pauper labor" of
Europe from competing with American bust
