In Re
Leo Frank

No such thing had erer before been done in
Georgia!
Why was an exception made in favor of
Frank?
If newspaper can be allowed to lombard
the court with thousands of copies of violent
editorial echy not station no0b-0ra around
the court house, to den0unce the Judges, IN
o0ro'ece Of their decisions?
Where would that kind of thing lead us?
1t the newspapers are to resort to mob
methods, why not turn loose the mobs, them
selves. and let them fight it out?
In olden times, there w as Trial by Battle.
The strongest man won the case.
Shall we have that again? Shall the big
mob convict the criminal by routing the small
mob? Shall mob of newspapers undo what
the sworn officers Of the law have done?
Some prominent New York preachers are
flooding the country with a circular letter in
which they say that the State of Georgia has
denied Frank fair trial, and that "such de-
nal constitutes the gravest possible infringe
ment on the rights of an American citizen"
This circular is signed by DR.. Parbhurst,
DR.. Hills, DR.. Remensynder and several 9th
ers.
Upon what do they base their accusation?
They base it on the Ccnnolly-Burns articles
in Golfers.
Those New York preachers have never read
the record in the Frank case, and they know
nothing Of the evidence which proves his guilt.

After all, the high priests of Rome gave
Jerome Bonaparte his divorce; and he mar
ried Wurtemburg Catholic, while his Balti-
more wife, also Catholic, was living
The Roman high-priests also divorced Ma
poeon from his Catholic wife, Josephine and
his second wife, the Austrian arch-duchess,
was also Catholic
Therefore, Napoleon had two Catholic wives
living at the same time; and the Pope that
same Plus VII, saw fit to wink at the bigamy
for from the Papa's point of view, it acas
bigamy.
In spite Of papal favoritism to those who
are rich and in power, Senator Ransdell's
magazine digs up that one bad 'break" made
by Luther and Melancthon, away back in the
popish Middle Ages, when they sanctioned
the bigamy Of the Landgrave of Hesse.
Luther and Melancthon were wrong in that
instance; but there is this much to be said by
way of explaining their conduct the Roman
Catholic church had taught Luther it's own
doctrine in regard to indulging the powerful.
What is called the m01,gonatic marriage. is
the Catholic form Of bigamy, and it prevails
in Roman Catholic Europe even. to this day.
1t also prevails in Russia.
Under that form Of marriage, Catholic
princes haze taO0 Catholic a0iVeS, at the same
time.

MORE than once, The Jeffersonian has
IVA called attention to Truth, the Catholic
magazine published in New York, Senator
Ransdell Of Louisiana being a member of its
honorary directory.
When periodical gives itself such name,
it ought to strive earnestly to live up to it.
Truth does not do so.
It not only publishes positive falsehoods
but it deals constantly in the half-t'uths that
deceive those who are not acquainted with
the achoze truth.
Speaking of the celebrated Elizabeth Pat
terson who married Jerome Bonaparte, 7awtA
lauds Pope Plus VII. for refusing to grant
the divorce which Napoleon sought for his
young mad-cap brother.
Senator Ransdell's magazine should have
given it's readers a more correct statement of
the case.
Napoleon and the Pope were at outs, over
that eternal question of Temporal Power.
Consequently, the Pope gratifed his spite by
refusing the divorce.
AS every student of history knows, divorces
can be obtained from Popes, whenever the
Pope can get his price.
Only few months ago, the rich Drexel
family of Philadelphia. got marriage ''an-
nulled," that being the word which Catholics
use in place of the Protestant word divorce"

Luther made a mistake in one exceptional
case, under exceptional circumstances, and at
u time when the Reformation was in desperate
need Of princely support.
But Luther did not systematic his wrong
and his one bad example was never copied by
the Reformers.
Now let me tell you fact which Senator
Ransdell and his magazine will not dare to
deny:
ziAe Catholic princes Of the r0yaz 1ouses
IN Europe are all permitted to keep dchnoaoz-
Gagged c0ncubineS, and to huve too Catholic
ac50cs If they so DESIRE.
Usually, the Catholic concubne of the Cath
Ollie prince is as we'll known at court as his
wife is She is 'the Mistress" and she gener-
ally has more influence than the lawful wife.
She always has her priest, and this priest
rules the prince through her-and she is often
his concubinc. also.
AS to the morganatic wife she is simply the
legalized concubine. She does not share her
husbands princely state or title; and her So
sial position is about the same as that which
the favored concubne used to have under Jew
ish kings Oriental despots and Turkish suit
ans.
This SYSTEM Of 5jgamy, rs q strictly Ronsan
CGth01Fc Gpvent50n and institution.
The Frotestants have never endorsed it.

And How? And By Whom {?

Shall lot of preachers and lawyers, living
IN a distant State, usurp the functions of our
Courts?
Or, shall the modern Trial by Battle take
the shape OF a contest between the Money and
the Law, between the Big Purse and the little
one, between the Rich and the poor?
Already, there is most hurtful, demoraliz-
ing idea abroad-that the Law cannot Crap
pie with the monsters of the vast deeps Of
crime but can only pi7o-h0oh the noinno2c8.
Is that true, in Georgia?
We shall see!
Last Friday, the State of New Jersey, put
to death 17-year-old boy, who had COM
United murder.
The killer was an Italian: the man killed
was an Italian: and the crime was one Of
revenge, a normal human passion. The boy
shot the deceased, not intending to hit ham
at all, but to kill another man whom the boys
uncle wanted removed"
New Jersey tried this 17-year-old boy, con-
victed him, and executed him, without caus-
ing ripple of excitement anywhere.
He was poor: his people are poor; and he IS
dead.
Why didn't the New York World, the Bal
timore Sun, the New York Times and Col
lier's make an effort to have that little boys
sentence committed?
Why didn't Doctors Parlhurst and Hills
make an effort to get him off, with sentence
fer life?
Just waif of Italy, land of hot passions,
Of much squalor, and of much lawlessness

lere Ought Law Cases 10 Be Tried?

PEADERS of The Jeffersonan know, that
- have never had anything to say about
laW-cases that were pending in the courts.
a person accused of crime ought to be tried
by the men who are set apart by the law for
that purpose. He ought to be tried at the
place pointed out by the law. He ought
to be tried IN the manner set forth in the
Code.
We Georgians did not act as though we had
any business trying Nan Patterson, Harry
Thaw, Albert T. Patrick, or Police Lieuten-
ant Becker.
We left New York to handle her own cases.
We assumed that New Workers knew all
about them and knew how to try them
We assumed that the sworn Jurors, and the
sworn Judges of New York were honest, COM
petent, and conscientious
We would have taken it as an insult to our
own intelligence, and gross affront to the
people and the courts of New York, had we
gone to prostituting our newspapers for or
against Patrick, Becker, and Thaw
We would have laughed to scorn the propo-
sltion that we Georgians go to holding mass
meetings to influence the lawful, responsible
authorities of New York
The Jefersonian didn't have anything to
say about the Frank CASE until after the At

editorial, endeaU0ri11g to intineadute Judge

Calumet the Secret Of Economy

The high cost of living nowadays. and

even more important than Il was In the
good old days OF our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy There's

In buying the materials as on the success

makes In buying. And the fact that Caau-

TO RENEW STRAWBERRY BEDS

Thoroughly Tear II Up

The first thing to do is to run a
mower over the bed. cutting all the
leaves and weeds as closely as pos
sible, and then burn. After this diff
ferent methods are followed, some go
into the bed with a cultivalor and
thoroughly tear 1t up. finally leaving
the bed in rows as II was originally.
and cultivating out all vines between.
Others use pillow and pillow between
tho rows leaving each row about a
foot in width. and thinning out the
plants in the row with hoe. The
cultivator seems more satisfactory as
rule. In burning the bed, wait until
the tops and weeds are thoroughly
dry. so they will burn quickly. other
wise the crowns of the plants are like
ly to be damaged.
