The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-12-11
A Foot-Kissing PapiSt, Of Mobile Alabama,
Hands Me a Hot One. Read Il, Quickly:

infamous articles as those printed in
the "book of lies," which you are
pleased to call the "Jefersonian,"
but it required an agnostic shrimp
and moral degenerate like you, to
stoop to a Whimpering SANDER Of
Holy Writ as a. means Of escape from
a SHARED head and prison stripes.
And then portion of those who
crowded the Court house when the
decision was rendered. job lot of
A. p. AS, Socialists, Protectors of
Liberty, and other kindred swine,
shouted themselves hOarse." The
same bunch of carrion crows would
undoubtedly like to be classed as
typical Americans, but they're not,
thank God, for if they were, then
Billy Sundays pessimistic statement
that the world was going to hell SO
fast you couldn't see it for dust,
would be in full force and effect, 50
far as the American people are con-
cerned.
Were it not SO disgustingly fool
ish, it would be almost amusing to
recall your challenge" to Cardinal
Gibbons, actually offering him free
space in the "Jeffersonian" to an
swe some old, stereotyped lies, that
originated perhaps three to four
hundred years ago, among fanaticaI
refOrmers,- no doubt thought
that the end justified the means
and has since been handed down
from father to son, through a certain
ignorant strata of Professionalism,
and re-trimmed by you in the hope
that it would be a good seller, and
make you some soft money.
Imagine a man of Cardinal Glib
bons' character and mental calibre;
STOPPING to notice such a Poll Parrot
as you. It were like the Editor Of
the Menace, issuing a challenge t
President Wilson, to open mud
Singing contest.
The feelings Of any sensible man,
after reading your challenge" can
be better imagined than described.
There is little danger Of you de-
flaming Catholic Sisterhoods when in
the presence of Catholics; such infa-
nous beasts as you invariably make
it a rule to take mighty good care
of their carcasSes, and take no
chances, such as honest men, fight
ing for a principle they believe to be
right, really delight to take.
No man in bis right mind could
even imagine Jefferson, a Washing
ton, Lee or a Lincoln, defaming
decent women for cold cash, but it
were probably sacrilige for me to
even mention those names by way of
comparison.
I realize that it is time wasted to
give you even a mild Setting out"
for your transgressions of all the
laws Of common decenCy, just as it
is idle to chide a Hyena or scold a
Buzzard, but I happened to have a
couple Of hours to spare, so thought
l would just waste it on you.
It occurred to me that it would be
we'll for you to change the name of
your publication, and instead Of be-
smirking the great name of Jeffer-
son by using it as a title, to change
it to TRIUNE, and to have the
''three in one" surrounded by the
emblems that make it up, i. e.,
Vampire, a Buzzard, and the portrait
of Thomas E. Watson. When you
do that, you will have a title truly
representative of the contents of your
magazine combination of abhor-
rent loathing.
Why don't you muster courage and
make some specific charges against
Catholics individually, instead of al
ways dealing in vague generalities,
so as to just escape criminal prose-
cution for libel. Of course, the ma
jOrity of the readers of the "Jeffer-
