appropriates funds for municipal purposes,
it is quite different from the greatest Of law
making agencies making laws, as the repre-
sentative of the greatest Of Republics.
To give municipal aid to the sick in a
hospital, is altogether different from the Civ
ing of teachers and supplies to religious
schools-meaning those schools controlled
entirely by churches.
Does Congress pay the teachers and buy
the books Of any Roman Catholic school in

of any kind to purely denominational work

1t does not, and it cannot
Why not! The answer to the question
would be a complete vindicaton of the pro-

port OF the purely UNCONVENTIONAL schools Of
certain churches
Since the Dick Military Law went into
effect at the beginning of last year, there can
no longer be any fear that the United States
will have to depend upon the Pope's schools
for troops to maintain this anti popish gov
eminent.
Permit me to suggest that the American
people could not be accused of over-senstive-
ness If they took as insult the suggestion,
however indirectly conveyed, that our Gov
eminent might have to look for defenders to
these priest-ridden schools
If ever such danger existed. outside the
imagination of an ofice-seeker who wanted
Roman Catholic votes, that danger was GER
tainly removed when all the militia of all
the State was put under the control of the
\. >. Government.
Pardon me for one further view Of the
case:
The policy of the War Department leads
inevitably to bitter religious strife.
In the effort to please all the churches,
none will be pleased
In the misrepresentation Of secular funds
to sectarian uses, all the non-religious will be
found making common cause with all the true
Protestants and 2cse71t52ag intensely the effort

Stripped Of all Disguise that is what the
policy of the War Department amounts to-
the maintenance Of church controlled schools
at the expense of the taxpayers of the coun-
try.
In, The State Of Georgia. the only church
which has received this governmental sub

Every religious teacher in that school owes
his allegiance to a foreign potentate. Every
religious teacher is appointed by the
appointees of that foreign potentate. Every
one of those teachers is responsible, not to
the State or to the Federal Government, but
to this foreign potentate.

Public Money, Given 10 Private
Schools. Is If Lawful?

THOMSON, Ga, DEC. II, 1918
Hon. LINDLEY M. GARRISON.
Secretary of War,
Dear Sir: The pressure of other work has
prevented an earlier reply to yours of 18th
November.
In reference to the Acts of Congress-, can
only say that Mr.. Crowder differs from me
as to the construction to be placed upon them;
and that it would require judicial decision
to settle the question, finally.
But it seems to me that the War Depart
ment would be we'll advised were it to adhere
to the historic policy and practice Of the
Government.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-12-18

at least or doubtful WISDOM
1t will occur to you, am sure, that if the
Government can make appropriations (what-
ever the form) for church cork, such appro-
pratlons could be given exclusively to one
church and such appropriations would then
promote IN fact, union of Church and State.
If the Government can grant supplies and
teachers for religious Schools which are
under the control of church, then the Gov
eminent could most efectually maintain an
extremely powerful adjunct of religious
establishment to-wit, it's nurseries, the
schools.
Mr.. Crowder will not find sentence in
the Constitution relating to the divorce of
Church and State-the complete separation
Of the temporal from the spiritual power,
&C. Yet, all of us know that our Government
is based on that very principle.
When Mr.. Taft was in control Of the Canal
Zone, he authorized the use Of certain
amounts of public money In the construction
of houses Of worship.
He admitted afterwards, in a public
address, that he had violated the law, adding,
Il suppose that I could haze been iq7apeuched
for it,
Mr. Taft's long service as a Judge of the
.. S. Courts entities his opinion against him.
SELF to some consideration.
L
Taft passed upon the question of the nun
teachers right to wear a religious garb aoElaze
on duty IN Government SCHOOLS, is another
instance, on the same general line President
Taft virtually decided that the wearing of
distinctive religious garb by these teachers in
the Government schools q0aS e0roaeg, for his
order provided that, in future, teachers who
felt it their duty to wear such garb should
not be employed.
Why not? Because such teachers naturally
make the impression on the pupils that their
religion is the Governments official choice
This republic is full Of public schools con-
trolled by the States. One church-and that
foreign-controlled church-makes open war
upon these public schools No other church
does So Is it wise to take public money,
derived from all denominations Of Christians,
and bestow that money on the one denomina-
ton which insults and SANDERS our public
schools? Is it right to tax all the people for
the benefit of one church, or of all the
churches?
1t is we'll known that there are at least co.
100000 people in the United States who
make no profession of any religion. These
people pay the same taxes as the religious.
They toll for the Republic in time of peace:
they fight for The Rapublt@ III time Of war.
Is it right to tax these people to support a
religion, or a religious school?
Such a tax upon the non-religjous, for the
benefit of the religious can not be defended,
save upon one ground ,-namely.
That the Governmental po5icy IS to e1ocoUr-
age religion by tacing the q1om-religious.
If such policy is not an absolute violation
of our Constitution and our form of repubii-
can government nothing could be.
We could as legally tax the Roman Catho-
lies to support Buddhist temple.
We could as legally tax the Baptists and
Methodists to maintain a Mohammedan col

THE JEFFERSONIAN

My Correspondence With the
War Department On the Sub
ject of Furnishing tEae Govern
Eaae1at Aid 60 Strictly Church
Schools, Which Are Not Com
trOHlel BY the Federal Govern
znaent, Or BY the States.
RELOW, you will find the closing Of
- the correspondence between Secretary
Garrison and myself, on the subject of the
furnishing of teachers and supplies to secta-
rlan schools.
The Secretary of War referred my reply
to his first letter to the Judge-Advocate
General, Hon. E. H. Crowder.
After considering the points made by me
against the practice of giving aid, out of the
public treasury, TO private schools, Mr.. Crow
der advises the Secretary, in substance, that
the War Department is pursuing legal
course
The full correspondence will appear in the
February number of "Watsons Magazine"
and those who feel interested can there see
both sides, presented at length
In order that my final letter on the subject
may be better understood by the readers of
this paper, sit is necessary to state that Mr..
Crowder claims that the Acts Of Congress
authorize government aid to any schools
where military instruction is made part of
education.
My contention is, that the very words of
the law limits such governmental aid to mill
tary schools controlled by the school authori-
ties Of the State.
Where the Government gives money out of
the public treasury, the Government should
have the right to supervise and control either
directly, or through the States.
In the public schools, the Government and
the State hold and exercise those rights. In
church schools, the churches alone exercise
control. In the Romuge Catholic SCHOOLS, q
foreigner, TIE ITALIAN POPE, IS the
supreme ultimate p0eoer
Is it right to tax all the people to support
the Pope's schools!
That's the question.
We need not split hairs about it, We need
not pussy-foot upon technicalities. We
might as we'll face the issue
Has the Federal Government got the right
to take money out of our public treasury for
the purpose of helping give. prominence,
endorsement, prestige and support to the
Pope's American nurseries Of R0noG1t CGth0Z-
SciSm1?
You Will notice that | again beg Secretary
Garrison to tell us who were the Congress-
men from Georgia, or elsewhere, who prosti-
tuted their political influence to the Pope in
this matter.
We have right to know.
Too many secrets, and too much pussy
footing, is bad for true popular self govern
