Target shooting with small bore rifles under proper conditions is sport of which the charms are hard " known to Americans. So much. were certain Brtdseporterss recently travelling in Europe, struck With the popularity of the game theres that thew determined to try and introducei it hare It Is true that there have been many small bore clubs in Amer ica for many years, but they have confined their shooting to 75 ft in door gallery ranges, and shot under con dItions which proved attractive only to a relatively few rifle bugs, but a1ave failed to appeal to the pulp lfc generally. Nevertheless there are FnurrIzers of young people around al ready fond of shooting who are only svaitiug for cheap and attractive fa.- cilit1es. and also a hummer or osners who will speedily take to the game when the club is started and they can see for themselves what good sport is to be had
 The first principles of tho European system Is to provide for scunnfo1t and yagristy in stle shooting with plenty or f4ndaSrtdua1, contests astan Incentive and good handicapping to give all 8 c1ance of winning. The ranges have usszRa fly three butts outdoors eat525 yds.,s 50 ycs@,s and 100 yds-, with 12 targets on eaeh, and the butts are lighted so
 
 This arrangement avoids all waiting about, affords variety and most in structare practice, while it meets the convenhance of thoss who have no time tou spare in day Hgft One slong covered firing point Tattached to a large and confo tabIe pauiHon ern- bracdng all the amenities Of a. coln- try club house, admits of over 2 O men firing simultaneously at all the butts. The firing point is open to- wards the butts in summer thereby irnparting to the shooting the pleas ures of an outdoor sport, but is com pIeteIy closed and warned in winter, by which means shooting is rendered possible in absolute comfort by day or night all the year round

guess you noticed in the daily press
where thirty-fve priests were on
their way back to France from
Mexico. They stated they had been

leans. I wonder why, or do you
guess they find life too lonesome
without the Confessional? Also

think it was. Is religion at the bot
tom of the war?
I was of the opinion the Frank
case would be thrown out of court

my mind made up that he was an
innocent man owing to the fact the
papers only showed one side of the

THEY READ 1T IN THE ATLANTA
JOURNAL

Dear Sir: I desire to- congratu-
late you on the heroic efforts that
you made against Hon. Hoke Smith,
in the recent primary.
If you remember I wrote you a
letter prior to the election express
ing my fear that the State was going
for Hoke Smith. [ did so from the
fact that l had mixed and mingled
with a lot Of the people, and to my
regret, found people for Hoke Smith
that had never been for him before,
and the moment that I would make
an expression in favor Of Joseph M.
Brown, they would say: "Ah, we
must vote for Hoke this time, the
war is on us, and Hoke is going to
have Uncle Sam to buy our cotton"
They would actually come at you
with such absurd argument as that.
You might ask them what they based
their argument on and they would
say, II read it in the Journal

THE JESUITS AND THE CRAZY
KAISER.

Dear Sir: Is the Papal See to be
now transferred from Rome to the
u. s.?
You probably know that the
'Black Pope who recently died so
conveniently ten minutes after the
other fellow, was appointed, through
the efforts of Emperor William when
the struggle for the office was a close
rivalry between the representatives
of the two countries, that then as
now the Jesuits were struggling to
make Catholic the United States and
Germany. A st. Louis man was con-
sidered the most likely winner until
Emperor William, who was seeking
the Jesuits assistance in his fight
against Socialism, made deal that
looked so good to them that for the
time they abandoned the American
and save the office to the German.
Now when German affairs have
passed beyond the realm Of diplo-
matte intrigue, the German Jesuit
head is no longer needed SO he con-
Veniently dies at a time when
general reimbursement is called for.
Now only the United States, that land
of rich papal pickings remains, they
may be expected to concentrate their
entire attention there. [ look for
both popes to be elected from the u.
S., then their accursed intriguers
will frame up Italy and push them
into the European melee.
They will then discover that con-
ditions in that turbulent country are
breaking the heart of the Holy Devil
and him and his political heller the
''Black Pope" will be transferred to
the U. S. so he can juggle his purga-
tory stunts in peace and quiet.
Immediately the toe kissing Pro-
testants, prompted by the Jesuit con-
trolled press will start fund to
build him a palace, "strictly non
sectarian' like the hospitals, con-
vents, etc, to house the homeless
'Holy Father" who is liable to be
Bull Neck O'Connell of Boston who
has gone over with millions, or
Slippery Jim of Baltimore.

TAX EXEMPTIONS ON CHURCH
PROPERTY ARE EQUIVALENT
TO SUBSIDIES TO CHURCHES.

My Dear Sir: I am very much
gratltled to notice on page nine the
position you take on taxing church
property, and sectaraan schools. You
may have had something on this be-
fore, but it did not arrest my atten-
ton like the remarks made on page
nine of the last Jeffersonian. 1t is
time this issue is being raised and
that the tax could be imposed by
law as it ought to be it would go
long way toward equalizing the
burden Of taxation. When the ex-
emption was first provided, I sup
pose it was presumed that all of the
people belonged to the church. All
property ought to be taxed impair
TALLY on equalized assessments.
Fair minded church members ought
ITO be the most enthusiastic sup
porters of such law.
Yours truly,
