HERE'S ANOTHER BROTHERS
VIEWS ON FOREIGN MISSIONS.

~
Dear Sir: AS l am one of your
admirers l would like to talk a bit.
] have been informed that we have
here in Georgia a Protestant college
that says she is so deep in debt until
it can't enroll any more students if
she gives a free education and a lit
tie money to spend too, | have never
heard anything about it, but my sup
position is it doesn't. [ notice the
Board preachers are going wild now,
they say there are only a few more
chances before the association to
pay off that Foreign Mission debt
VIII ere they give fellow a free edu-
cation and pay him to be a Chris
tian too. Don't you think it would
look more like common sense to pay
UP some debts at home and not have
so many paralytic strokes about For
eign Missions? Who authorizes
Smith, Willingham & Co. to contract
these debts any how? The Board
preacher says if he can't collect some
money for Foreign Mission it will
give him bad reputation with the
Board. It seems that the Board has
got him by the nose and he had bet
ter do something in order to hold
his job. Is that so Mr.. Board
preacher? 1t looks that way to me.
The preachers tell me that there is
over sixty per cent Of the people in
Georgia that don't belong to any
church, SO l think it is time for us
Georgia crackers to wake up The
Roman Catholics are not asleep if
reports be true. Seems like I have
read somewhere it says, che that
don't preach for his own household
is worse than an infdel," so Mr.
Protestant preacher I think it is
time for you to wake up at home
What we want is some true gospel
and not SO much mOneyism. From
what I can see the majority Of the
preachers have gone money mad and
are preaching the gospel away from
the people.
Yours for success,
Ga. AN ADMIRER.

SOUTH CAROLINA ADVICE TO
GEORGIA: BETWEEN
DRINKS.

Dear Sir: 1t occurs to me that
you and all good, and we'll meaning
Georgians, would be fully justified in
an effort to break up Convention
(appendix) to the Democratic pFi-
mary in your State. You people will
never succeed in having q fair and
square deal under the present sys-
tenn.
Conventions become rotten and
fraudulent, because all manner of
dark lantern caucusing, trading, bar
tering appointments for influence
whereby the people are fraudulently
deprived Of their choice Of men.
The Macon Convention was the
plainest case Of high handed fraud
l ever heard Of, and if not checked
by change, it will grow worse and
worse. A straight out and out pri-
mary-majority plan is the only nOmi-
mating system by which the people
can express their choice. Pray tell
me where is there any Justice, or
encourag cement for the people to give
a candidate the highest number Of
votes, and then a hand full of politi-
cal ringsters in convention sell their
votes and rob the nominee out Of
the office?
In straight primary the city
counties would have some advant-
age, but it could hardly be expected
in those counties, that majority
would go to the bad by selling out
to the minority. I mean no harm
by forecasting,, that you Will not
have anything like fairness and salts
faction in your politics, until you
brake up your nominating conyen-
lions.
1t is much easier to control a con
vention with money and conspiracy,
than the whole or majority of the
people at large, isn't that good po-
litical philosophy?
I offer these suggestions for what
they are worth.
| will be with you at the trial in
Augusta to the finish.
With regards, | am,
Yours truly,
S. G.. G.. d. MINIS.

WHILE POOR HUMAN NATURE
REMAINS WHAT 1T rs, KNAVES
WILL RULE.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Do you
think that when the European war
closes the Hohenzollerns and the
Hapsburgs will be deposed? The
thought occurs to me that if they
continue to rule their respective
countries after peace has been made
that million fools will have poured
out their blood and offered up their
lives in vain.
1t is not often that I rejoice over
the downfall Of anybody at all, but
/ would rejoice if the HohenzOIlerns
and the Hapsburgs are kicked out.
Such a happening would be for the
good Of mankind. These two fami-
lies are related to the royal family
of Great Bratain and also the royal
family of Russia, and maybe the fact
that William HOhenZoliern is
grandson Of old fat Queen Victoria
and q cousin to the Gar Of Russia
may save to him the German throne;
at least, family influence will have
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-10-08

to be reckoned with These re-
marks are made with the presump-
tion that the Allies will crush Ger
many and Austria, and dictate terms
Of peace. If William HohenZollern
were driving dray or hauling saw
logs and earning an honest living,
the unspeakable agony which count
less thousands are now suffering
would never have been. Even since
I was boy I have hated Bill Hohen-
zollern and the ignorant and savage
Hapsburgs.

Tenn. j. CURRIE THOMPSON.

CATHOLICS RUNNING THE SPAN
ISH PRIESTS OUT OF MEXICO.

Dear Sir; enclose from the
Morning News" of Savannah, a dis
patch sent out by the Associated
of my life, and J. may say further,
that as long as the world stands, l
never heard of any other religion so
exposed as the Catholic is in this
dispatch. They must deserve it, as
this information is not from q Pro-
testant source, but comes directly
from Mexico, a Catholic country, and
from a Catholic nation, and author
lied by the head of that Government,
who is also Catholic.
1t has been often directly said
about Catholics that they who hate
them worst, are those who know
them best" This is not eXagger-
ated, as that unfortunate country
Mexico, as we'll as other European
countries that recently woke up
discovered that the Roman Catholic
church was the cause of their down
fall, nOn-progressiveness, and that
their country was going back year
by year, and day by day, and that
they could not keep up with their
Protestant neighbOrs. 1t is no Won
der that Mexico has at last thrown off
the yoke of the Catholic church and
the Catholic priests, though she has
lost thousands of her people, and
fought for years to gain this free
DOM that the country can be-
come peaceful, happy, and progress
siye, the same as her Protestant
neighbors.
Now, after carefully reading this
dispatch, which is also sent out
through the mails by the newspaper
Of the United States and by the news
papers of the world, then the United
States Government mad better find
indictments against every newspaper
in the United States, as we'll as
against you, for the words used in
this dispatch have the same meaning
as the articles published in your
magazines and for which you have
been indicted.
With kind regards and best wishes
that you keep up your good work to
expose the real bottom of the church
and religion that has ruined many
countries, and are trying to do the
same with the United States, l am,
Respectfully,
