Resolutions For the De-
Tense of Elk Congressman
Thos. E. Watson, of
Thomson, Ga.

Whereas, Having read of the in
suit shown our beloved and patriotic
brother of the Guardians of Liberty,
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, of the JET
fersonian Publishing Co. by the
State of Georgia, and,
Whereas, We know this to be the
truth because We read the news in
this weeks Jeffersonian that he was
arrested for publishing in his May
Magazine questions which every Ro-
man Catholic Priest puts to every
woman in every confessional, and
further claiming that the same was
obscene and therefore should not be
sent through the United States mail;
Be it Resolved: That we the
members Of Armory Court, No. %,
Guardians of Liberty, Cincinnati,
Ohio, endorse the following resolu-
tons
First. That we the Guardians of
Liberty think it is about time the
public press were printing such
truths as these with which our fell
low citizen is charged, and that it is
about time we we're exposing the
politicians who are playing into the
hands of Rome for votes.
Second 1t is not now a question
of North and South, but question
of religious freedom, free press, free
speech, or Roman Catholic intoler-
ance and bigotry.
Third. That we call attention Of
the postal authorities to the fraudu-
lent advertisements used in Catholic
periodicals which make claims that
are impossible and allowing these to
be sent through the mail.
Fourth That we the Guardians Of
Liberty of Cincinnati, Ohio, congratu-
late our brother and fellow citizen,
Hon. Thomas e. Watson, for expos
ing the hypocrisy and superstition Of
the Roman Hierarchy, the deadliest
Menace to our Liberties and CiviliZa-
ton.
Fifth. That we, the Guardians of
Liberty, extend our sympathy to this
brother who has been unjustly perse-
cuted for the stand he has taken in
behalf of American Free Press, Free
Speech and our Public Schools.
Sixth. That we call upon all pat
riotic citizens, such as the Masons,
Juniors, Knights of Pythias, Odd
Fellows and the Socialists to show
their colors, and to give their sup
port and defend this loyal American
citizen, Hon. Thomas E. Watson.
Seventh. That we congratulate
the following publications: The JEFF
fersonian, The Menace, The Appeal
to Reason, and the American Citizen,
for the stand they have taken to en-
tighten the American Public against
the political machination of the Ro-
man Catholic Hierarchy in the United
States.
Eighth. That we the Guardians
of Liberty are a non-sectarian, non
political organization, but that we
stand for the complete separation of
Church and State in this country,
and that we particularly protest
against the diversion of any public
funds or lands to any secratian pur-
pose whatever.
Nine. That these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes, and that
copy be sent to the American Citizen,
The Menace, The Jeffersonian, and
the Appeal to Reason.

JOE BIRMINGHAM SAYS CATCH
Frs ARE HANDICAPPED WHEN
CRAWFORD Is AT BAT AND TY
STEALING.

Did 1t ever OCCUR to you that a GER
tain player has been deprived of a GER
tain amount Of credit for the record
that Ty Cobb has made since enter
Ing the American Lacquer declared
Joe Birmingham, of the Cleveland
team.
well. it's a fact. There's not the
slightest doubt In my mind. If Ty
Cobb had any other man except Sam
Crawford following him in the batting
order, no wouldn't outclass all of the
other men in the business to such an
extent.
THAT may sound like the MARBLE of
g. disgruntled player. It isn't. l. as
well as most of the other people who
ever gave baseball thought, acknowl-
edge Cobbs marvellous skill. But l
like to see a little credit distributed.
'I haven't made suRh a statement
without considering the matter. Put
Sam Crawford up behind any of a half
dozen players In this league and their
ase-stealing records would increase
immensely. Conditions will support
my argument.
I'm the first place. every catcher is
handicapped almost FIVE feet in throw
ing to second when Sam is up You
know, Sam lays back at that home
plate. A catcher would take his life
customary position behind the plate,
for Sam takes an awful waIlop.
Tive feet doesn't seem like a great
distance, but when It Is taken into
consideration that a vast, number of
base stealers are checked by the
merest margin OF seconds, five feet
looms up as considerable distance.
Sam Crawford Yields a young tele-
graph pole. There are few players in
baseball who could handle such a club.
And Sam spreads that club all over an
immense amount of air. It's usually in
the way or threabouts. At least. it's
a factor with which the catcher must
always reckon.
Finally Sam is left handed bat
ter. Any time pitcher hurls a pitch
out to catch Cobb stealing, tho catcher
is thrown into an awkward position.
He can't possibly be set for a throw.
There another portion of a second is
lost.
These things all make a tremendous
difference. They make such a differ
who think that some day the name
of Joe Jackson viii be mentioned in
the same breath with that of Ty
Cobb.
Joe has shown more natural ability
during his first year In the big league
than Cobb did. If anyone had told me
five years ago that there would be a
400 hitter in the league in 1919, 1
would have declared he was crazy If
he would have told me that q man
would make his debut in the league in
1912 and lift over 400, I would have
said it twice.
Zoe Is as fast as Ty In going to
first No one can convince me to the
contrary. Joe doesn't get the lead of
first that Ty does. That can be ac-
quired. When that is acquired you'll
find little Joey leading the parade or
just a trifie behind the leader"

duty to provide them before occupying
itself with costly and visionary OBJ
jects. We should establish at the next
session Of the legislature an effective
immigration bureau amply equipped for
handling an thrush of settlers and dis
tributing them impartially to all sec
tions of Florida where they can settle
down and go to work on lands that
are now ready for them. There should
be established a publicity bureau. The
work Of this department would be to
exploit the opportunities in ell parts
Of Florida alike and impartially. The
last official report shows that only
three per cent of the tillahle lands of
Florida are now in cultivation. Doesn' I
this indicate the extreme need Of some
such efforts on the part of the state
as the publicity and immigration bu-
reaus would provide?
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
"Of course there is always room for
improvement in any method or con-
dition, but the administration Of af-
affairs of state in Florida is particu-
larry marked in this respect just at
this time. While we are bringing the

Oh assessments unQ6T
the present system vary from 30 to 80
per cent of actual values in different
localities. In many communities the
basis Of assessments has not been
changed in years, though the general
enhancement Of values has been enor-
nous. There should be a state tax
equalization board, whose duties it
would be to sit in each county once
ach year for the purpose of equa1iztng
assessments of property. This body
would see that some OF the counties
which are now bearing a burden Of ex-
cessive taxation are relieved, while
others that are not now doing so would
be made to pay their rightful share of
taxes. This plan of equalization will
result in a lower rate Of taxstion and
still increase the revenues derived by
the state. This is the modern method

has been tried ii has proven very sat

stocks or securities. The citizens Of
Florida would only have to demand to
see the agents license when asked to
invest. in a new corporation, or one
with which he Is not familiar. Alb
sence of this license would brand the
agent as unreliable The existence Of

sition as good one so far as the state

LAW HAS BEEN TRIED.
The state of Kansas has tried this
law, and is saving it's people millions
Of dollars. Fly-by night spectators
give the state a wide berth, while men
who have sound and legitimate propo-
sitons to offer the people find that
the sale of their paper is made far
easier in Kansas. This principle has
been recognized by France and other
European governments Of long stand
ing.
"This suggests also the need for
strict regulation Of land companies.
Laws must be enacted which viii pro-
teot the legitimate dealer and the in
nocent purchaser alike. These pro-
posals should pass under the eye of
the corporation commission. And in
all cases, the state should not stop
with it's first examination of these
companies 1t should regularly go into
the affairs Of all corporations which it
charters to assure itself that its
methods remain sound and conserva-
tive. When a partnership agreement
exists, each member of the firm is re-
sponsible, but when q corporation IS
formed individual responsibility ceases.
In granting this privilege, the state
should be sure that the rights Of in
vestors are safeguarded.
DEVELOPING THE STATE.
I'VE have rea ched the point where
we must give very careful consi3ora-
ton to plans for the development IF
our state. The minds of the people are
more or less occupied at this time
with the heated discussion Of the
drainage of the Everglades. l want it
understood that / am not opposed to
the drainage and reclamation of the
Everglades, but 1 take the position
that this great work will never be &C
complished under the present policies
of the state 1t is very plain that the
state is suffering in~this proposition.
The original purpose Of drainage ad-
vocates was to conserve the vast acre
age involved for our own people, and
no one expected that these lands were
to fall into the hands Of spectators
and be exploited and misrepresented
at the expense of the state
eff the state is to be even remotely
responsible for the Everglades II
should see that there Is no mtsrepre-
sentation on the part OF those who
have acquired the right to deal In
these lands. The state should give
the truth to the world, and then stand
by at any cost to see that purchasers
Of undrained Florida lands are fairly
dealt with.
AS a matter of fact, there Is q much
more pressing work of development
before the state than the drainage OF
the Everglades There are about thir-
ty million acres of masnif cent farming
lands in other counties which do not
need drainage or irrigation. These
lands need settlers, and II is the states
