the State Teachers Association, the

uous part in it, Repeatedly within
that time bills in the interest CT the
schools have failed Of passage by the
legi slatu1e, apparently because the

stance it was evident that the efforts
made were producing good results,
and that the public school system was
growing rapidly in popular favor.
"The legislative session of 1911 saw
the final success of the movement and
a bill was passed which incorporated
all the essential improvements de-
sired by the educational organizations
and gave to Georgia a school sys-
tenn that will compare favorably in
its structure with any state school
organization in the country. The new
law is a model of brevity and of
clearness; it contains only twenty

transformations.

Fashion does not admit of much lati'
tude in the form of bib, but 1t is the
fancy now to vary the accepted form
as much as possible, making triangular
and pointed-shaped ends, and as new
an outline as possible. One triangular
style is prettily finished with three
rows of narrow lace. The fine top
piece is sewed to its thick lining be-
meath the second row of lace. Even
rubber bibs have become attractive,
and are thin and soft to the touch'
with a finish on the outer side IKE d
fine weave of figured nainsook. 1t Is
customary to haste these thin rubber
bibs beneath fancy ones of thin ma
terial, although it is an open question
whether rubber is a good thing to lay
over a baby's chest.-Harper's Bazaar

WASHINGTON GUARDIANS OF
LIBERTY ADOPT RESOLU-
TIONS

At special meeting on June Sd,
1912, of District of Columbia Court,
No. /, Guardians of Liberty, Master
Vigilant Green called the attention
OF the Court to a morning newspaper
report Of the intended arrest that
day, by a U. S. marshal, at the in
stance of the Roman Catholics, of
the Hon. Thos. E. Watson, of Thorn
son, Ca, for sending alleged obscene
matter, in Watson's Magazine,
through the U. S. mails, and sug-
gested that the support of this Court
be rendered to Mr.. Watson.
Thereupon the following resolu-
ton was offered and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, in the prosecution, by
the Government, and attempted per-
secution by the Papal priesthood of
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, the fearless
champion of free speech and a free
press, we see the evil hand of the
Roman Catholic Hierarchy in at
tempted partnership with the U. S.
Government, in affairs of State, and
the power of the State being in
vOked, as of old, by that ancient foe
of liberty, to persecute and crush the
educators Of the people in the gospel
OF liberty, progress, and the adj
Vancement of civilization; and,
Whereas, the liberty of the press
is in danger; many acts of the Gov
eminent, instigated, as we believe,
by this ancient enemy of the people,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-08-01

have been and are, of an alarming
tendency; Gators thrown into
prison and their periodicals loaded
down and burdened with court costs,
because they have exposed the in
iquitous combinations of Church and
State, and Government officials and
their practices; and the wrongful
suppression of one periodical may
result in the liberty of the press
being practically annulled; and,
Whereas, it is, emphatically our
opinion that free discussion shall not
be stif1ed at the behest of the Roman
Catholic Church priesthood, even
when backed by time-serving and
office-desiring politicians; that if the
only political editor of distinguished
ability, who has the manhood to ex-
pose the foul history and practices
of a corrupt hierarchy and priest
hood, is to be prosecuted, at their
demand, the patriotic people of the
whole country should be informed
of it; therefore,
Be it resolved, by District of CO.
lumbia Court, No. /, Guardians of
Liberty, in regular session, that we
offer to the Hon. Thos. E. Watson
our support, moral and financial, and
we unQualifiedly commend and in
dorse his action in exposing the foul
history and practices Of the Roman
Church Hierarchy and it's priesthood.
particularly in their reasonable at
tempt to mix government of Church
and State; and, further,
Be it resolved, that copy of these
resolutions be sent to Mr.. Watson,
for his use in any way that he may
see fit, and copies be sent to The
Menace, The American Citizen and
The Liberator
