AS we understand it. from the re-

anu from the numerous press re-

the editor of Watson's Magazine is
no other than the fact that he sent
through the United States mail his

an article containing excerpts from
a standard Catholic book printed in
the 1-at1i tongue, and dealing with
matters relating to the Confessional.

whether against foreign missions,
against Socialism, or against what
he terms the Catholic hierarchy,
But Local Augusta is deeply and vi
tally interested in the question
whether or not the people shall con-
tinue in their enjoyment of, or be
denied the rights constitutionally
guaranteed, of free speech and a free
press, and sees menace in any
effort in the direction of abridge-
ment Of these rights
The prosecution of Mr.. Watson.
like the prosecution of the editors of
the Appeal to Reason, in the now IA
nous Leavenworth penitentiary case,
we can interpret in no other way
than being a yelled and subtle at
tempt on the part of a reactionary
capitalist government to stihe and
silence enlightened thinking and in
vestigation, free speaking and print
ing and wide dissemination Of
thought and opinion. Local Angus
ia sees in moves and prosecutions,
such as those instituted against the
editors of the Appeal to Reason, and
now against the publisher of Wat
sons Magazine, grave danger to the
unshackled spirit of republican liber-
ty and free speech in this country,
and on these grounds we adopt and
bring to public notice the following
resolutions:
We proteGt against and denounce
the prosecution of Mr.. Thomas E.
Watson by the government as unjust,
despotic and contrary to the spirit
of true democracy and liberty and
the guaranteed rights Of free speech
and a free press.
We place our sympathies with Mr..
Watson, not because we approve Of,
or accept his views and attitude on
questions Of a public nature, but
because of~his being, in this instance,
unfairly dealt with by the authori-
ties and because he is being molested
and interfered with in his enjoyment
of rights guaranteed him, and all
American citizens, by the Constitu-
ton of the United States-tne rights

like Alfred Russell Wallace, Tebb.
Croekshank, Spencer, Hodge and
Creighton not only did not believe in
vaccination as protection, but be-
1ieved it a great danger.
II did not think nor reason how
any kind of foreign matter put into
the healthy body of a child could
make that child immune from dis
ease. I considered that the doctors
saying that vaccination would make
the child immune, meant that it had
been proved as a scientific fact, and
| did not know that the average doc
tor being told that it is tablished.
considers it proved fact
81 did not know that before the
Royal Commission of England 5000
cases of injury and 500 deaths from
vaccination were presented, and that
the Commission itself reported that
there was danger and death in vacci-
nation
Aye, though my child would not
have had an education without the
vaccination, he would have yet had
life-and the joy of life would not
have been stilled for me.
Argue as you will for or against
vaccination, you cannot get away
from the logic that if my baby had
not been vaccinated, he would not
have died when he did.
AS mother who no longer has a
child, my heart goes out to all chill
dren. [ would give health to all
children by seeing that none are ever
hungry, that only pure food is ever
sold. l would see that sunshine and
grass and air and freedom should be
the gift OF every child born, SO that
children would grow as do the beau
t1ful sunkissed flowers Of the fields.
Hope speaks in the flowers and the
fields, thrills in the music Of the
birds and whispers in the rustling of
the trees
Why should children not BE
brought up in the country amid
green fields, hills, trees, villages. dirt
roads, brooks, rivers, flowers, COWS,
horses, instead Of cities, crowds, as
phalt cobblestones, cars, noise,
wagons, automobiles, factories, tene-
ments, skyscrapers! Well may the
poet sing Of the city child:
THE asphalt street is pitiIess,
The night is like the day,
They cannot run for WEAKNESS.
There is no place to play"
But before all these things I
would make public schools free from
the medical fetch of vaccination, SO
that no mother who desires her child
to have a public school education
would have to make that child un-
dergo the chance of illness and
death. l want that great pillar of
our form of government-and which
distinguishes this republic from all
that have preceded 1.-THE public
schools, to be as free as the air we
breathe.
Aye, I want freedom of health and
control Of the body for everyone.
want what the Anglo-Saxon race
have fought and bled for since the
days before the Magma Charter
and that is freedom uncontrolled by
any special interests.
Absolute freedom of the body is
the eternal cry that will never be
stilled in the human breast as long
as reason remains. And speak
for the thousands, when I say that I
want only medicines and serums-if
take any-of my own choosing, or
at least | want to take them of nv
own VolitiOn and under no compul-
sion OF threats, Of promises or with
held benefits.

to nave h1n entered in public sch COL.
The principal asked for q vaccination
certificate. The mother stated that
the child had never been vaccinated.
The principal said that the child
could not enter public school with
out first. being vaccinated. The
mother then made inquiries of some
of the the neighbors, this being her
only child, and she finally consulted
her family physician. The child was
vaccinated. The doctor was an cid
time physician, very careful and
exact, but the child - died and the
cause OF death was given as VAGINA
ton. The child was in perfect
health, the home as perfect as sun
light, wholesomeness and cleanliness
Of well-to-do country home could
be. This is the story as told by the
mother of the child:
Just my baby that will sing no
more, just voice that is ouieted
forever, just blue eyes that will
sparkle no longer; baby's steps will
never again come tripping over the
floor nor will childish arms ever hug
me close, nor bright red cheek be
pressed against mine.
Why? Because men wanted to
improve on natures work and give
a child, in perfect health more than
perfect health. Because mere man
made laws, said that if my child
wanted to go to public school, which
We help to support, my baby boy
would have to be vaccinated, so as to
protect him from smallpox.
Why did [ allow them to do it?
For that old reason you know so
well. Every one else / knew had
their children vaccinated and I
wanted my child given public
school education. I could not af-
ford private school for him, and l
knew that if he was to start equally
in the battle of life he would have to
have an education. And my doctor
said there was no danger and it
would be such protection But
now l have no baby.
s'Oh, if | had only known that the
chances of my baby getting smallpox
was about as much as his being
struck by lightning
If l had only known that 1872
vaccinated soldiers of the American
army in the Philippines got small
pox, and .261 died Of it, yet they
were picked men physically and vac
cinatiOn went on as regularly as drill
work every six weeks.
If | had only known that Leices-
ter, England, depends only on SAM
tation for protection against small
poK and that there has not been a
death from smallpox in six years and
the death rate is among the smallest
in the world.
eff 1 had only known that cities
like Newburgh, Jamestown, Niagara
Falls, Middlet0Wn, Mt. Vernon,
Ithaca, Herkimer and Oswego in
New York State do not comply with
the law in regard to compulsory vac
for school children.
IF [ had only known that Japan.
with every enc vaccinated between
1889 and 1908, had 171,611 cases of
smallpox and 1923 deaths, while in
1908 it had 1867 cases and 5,837
deaths,
"If / had only known that in the
Medical Reports of the Army in the
Spanish-American War, the reports
of doctors who believed in vaccina-
ton, reported hundreds of cases in
which fatalities resulted because of
vaccination and so stated it and also
noted that many deaths given under
other heads were in reality caused
by vaccination.

through with terrific force.
