A Public Right

The public has a right to de-
mand of every manufacturer
who, produces food, that that
food product be pure and whole
some.
No raw milk however healthy
the COW, is absolutely pure.
It would be PRACTICAL y impos-
slble to supply pure wholesome
milk from any creamery, seeing
that it is supplied from various
herds Of COWS and from different
localities.
Experiments were made in
Washington D. c., New York.
Chicago and Philadelphia with
the result that all the milk was
affected to a greater or less de-
gree with disease germs.
The pasteurization method
for health and safety is being
rapidly adopted all over the
country, and millions of dollars
are being spent in equipment
for creameries.
The people of Zion City
should consider themselves for
tunate in having an up-to-date
pasteurization plant, and that it
IS not necessary to use unpas-
teurized milk and cream.
Those who are doing so, are
running needless risk of con-
tracing disease. Even if a few
cents can be saved on the price,
the same people would give
dollars to get rid Of the disease,
but that would not accomplish it.
Take the warning, Use only
pasteurized milk and cream.

mended Miss Williams to the school board after
an investigation which took him to several eastern
cities where he interviewed applicants for this and
other positions. This year sophomores, juniors
and seniors will be admitted to the sewing class,
but after the first year admission will be restricted
to sophomores or sophomores and juniors.
An important improvement has been made at

reached out into the grades and on petition of
parents of pupils will be taught in Bancroft, Cas-

passed by recent legislature the Board of Edu-
cation must teach any of the modern European
languages pettioned for by certain number OF
the patrons of a school, A few petitions have been
received for Bohemian, and this language may be
taught in school, although thus far no ar

AS 90 Catholic Priests and Nuns
Riding Free.

HERE seems to be no dispute that on the
street cars, the nuns and the priests ride
without paying fare.
Anybody can see them do it, any day, in
any city. Write to any friend of yours who
lives in Atlanta, for instance, and you can
secure the confederation of the statement
Why this unlawful discrimination, in favor
Of church controlled by an Italian for
eigner?
All other charity workers, and religious
workers are made to pay car fare. Why are
the subjects of foreigne given this advant-
age over the natives of our country, whose
allegiance is not sworn away to a foreign
potentate?
AS to the priests riding free on the rail
roads, | have this to say:
A gentleman whom I have known for many
years asked me some weeks ago, how it was
that the Romanist priests rode free, on The
Georgia Raizr0ad?
He told me of a case that had come under
his notice a few days before.
He saw the conductor pass priest, with a
nod, without asking for his ticket. The priest
had also nodded to the conductor.
My friend asked the conductor, minute or
so later, why the priest did not show ticket
The conductor smiled and answered.
0N)l, ne mas q pass.
I can produce this witness whenever the
r. r. Commission desires it.
In letter written to me by gentleman Of
Savannah-not a personal acquaintance it
was stated that the Catholic priests rode on
The trains of the Central of Georgia without
paying fare, or producing tickets.
| myself saw that, many years ago, before
the anti-free-pass laws were enacted.
In order that no mistake might be made, [
wrote respectfully to the management of the
Georgia and the Central, asking for informa-
ton on this subject.
Replies have not yet been received, although
ample time has elapsed.
/ promise to follow up the subject, and
find out whether our corporations are indi-
rectly Substituting p0pery, at the expense Of
Protestants and non Catholics.
Free passes and free rides are subsidies, and
our corporations have no right to grant them
to one so-called religious organization, to the
exclusion of others.

Europe, and flood our State with Roman
Catholic paupers and illiterates from Bull
garia, Hungary, Poland and Italy.
Governor-elect Hoke Smith went in person
to Europe, in company with Gunby Jordan
of Columbus, for the purpose of making
arrangements ito flood Georgia with cheap
foreign labor" and he made those arrange
ments at Trieste, on the Adriatic Sea.
He had actually prepared bill for the
and amp0t13otio design against american
labor when he was stopped by the opposition
he met, when he sent the proposed law to me,
and asked for my cooperation in his scheme.
(3.) Senator Smith, like the would be-
Senator, Hardwick, was the foe of d general
Parcels Post; and colluded with such Senators
as Lodge and Gallinger to deal it death
wound by an amendment which would have
tied the hands of the Postmaster General, so
that he could not make such changes in rates
and weights as would meet the competition of
the Express Companies.
Like Congressman Hardwick, the Self
appointed Senator wanted a parcels-post
which would be m0thi1ag more than the assist
ant Of the Eupress Companies, carrying but
ter and eggs and poultry to the railroad sta
ton, and there turning the stuff over to the
Express agent, affording no real benefit to the
people,
a. Hoke Smith has made no effort what
ever to prevent the hiring of Hessians by the
Coal-mine Companies, from such pretended
Detective Agencies as those of Burns and
Ascher; and he has formulated no plan by
which compulsory arbitration, or other law
full procedure, might prevent lawlessness
bloodshed, and terrorism in communities
where Labor and Capital clash.
No civilized nation should tolerate a sys-
tenn which permits either Labor or Capital to
rush to arms, engage in private war, and
naugurate reign of terror, paralyzing ordi-
nary business, jeopardizing the lives and the
property Of law-abiding citizens, and putting
an end to the orderly rule of civil administra-
ton.
(5.) The official records show steady
aggravation of this almost incredible state of
civil war; and this aggravation comes from
the refusal of the Senate to mike 0raaj attempt
to chech the hordes Of Roman Catholic ino21ai-
grafton.
Such Democratic papers as the New York
Times published astounding statements Gin
Feb. of this year to the effect that the Ital-
ian Pope was exerting his influence in Wash
lngton ito bring pressure to bear In the direc-
ton of annihilating the bill'-the bill being
that of Congressman Burnett of Alabama
The bill proposes to apply to immigrants
the test of being able to read their 0aom
language.
italian popery opposes this simple test,
because poper.y, IN Roman Catholic Europe
does not teach the poor people to read.
I charge that Senator Hoke Smith on this
vital question stands leagued with Italian
popery, just as he was when he went to
Europe, ito flood Georgia with cheap foreign
labor"
When President Taft was in the White
House, Hoke Smith roared loudly in favor of
the Burnett bill. At that time the cunning
