Hooper Alexander was made to feel the
same; and the result is that both Of these
redoubtable patriots are now roosting In
Uncle Sans bosom.
Smith rubber-stamped himself into the
Senate, and he rewarded Hooper for the
heroic work he had done to prevent Tenn
perance legislature from passing Temper
ance bill.
Mr. Richard Mansion should step into the
Piedmont barroom some night when he IS not
engaged in engraving, and should sample the
beer.
AS he does So he should remember that
Hoke Smiths share Of profits still refresh the
finances Of sweet Charity.
The virtuous man who would not EOntamI-
nate himself by using profits made on whis
key, is of course too dainty to use the profits
made on beer
Mr.. Richard Mansion says there is Qua
ker adage, to this effect:
''If man fool thee once, shame on him.
If he fool thee twice. shame on y0u."
AS [ am lineal descendent of the old
Wrightsboro Quakers, [ heartily welcome the
temperance of this old Quaker adage
Hoke Smith fooled us, once; and [ am ris-
ing early of mornings to keep him from doing
it twice.

Shall the Northern Book Trust
Sill Continue TO BE School
Commissioner OF Georgia?

FOR more than 20 years, the Book Trusts
have gone in co-hoot with our Public
School authorities to fleece the patrons of our
Public Schools.
In the garnet, or closet, or book shelves Of
the State, there are cart loads of school books
which had to be discarded as useless, although
they were as good as new.
They were cast aside because the Book
Trust and the grating school officials wanted
more money out Of the patrons of the schools.
To get this additional money, the text
books were changed: and then changed again,
and then again, until our people were almost
driven to desperation.
On this account many of our boys and girls
could not get the education guaranteed to
them by the highest law of this State
The present State School Commissioner
lobbyist of the Book Trust He left his office,
thrust himself into the Senate. and helped
the lobbyists of the Trust-such men as Ed.
McN1ichael, and Miller of Columbus.
The only schools which escape this Book
Trust robbery, are the Roman Catholic
schools Of Macon, Savannah and Augusta.
To these schools, Britain gives our public
money, aa riozati0n Of Au1c, for neither the
Catholic teachers, nor the textbooks are under
the control of the State.
Britain to that extent, unites popery with
our civil government, thing prohibited by
law.
To that extent Britain donates public
money to sectarian schools.
VIII you continue to elect a man who is
the tool Of the Book Trust and of the Italian
church?

THE JEFFERSONIAN

1t is shame that the Hoke Smith papers
should be trying to blacken the character of
q native Georgian who is SO unblemished and
SO talented
lnasmuch as Hoke Smith is not a native
Georgian, and is a New Englander on the
paternal side, his poems show little sense in
trying to cry down one of the most intellec-
tual young Georgians that recent years have
developed.

Ehe DOleful Downfall of HuUT1

Dorsey :

AAAO PNOA1o dAC Cu0lE Halt, DodClIS
their breasts, and running around in circles
The Gainesville Bugsaad, which is nothing
IT not clean, says that Hugh Dorsey has
become mercernary, has sold out to Joe
Brown, and has cut his own political throat.
The all-Ground 1Vh0ng-dood1e, which is
nothing IT not veracous, declares that it never
was so sorry of anything in its life as to wit
ness the suicide of Hugh Dorsey
The Dalton Baz0on1's IS, which is nothing
if not prophetic asserts with vehemence that
it could cry bitterly over the downfall of
Hugh Dorsey.
And SO the chorus Of woe travels around
among the striped men who labor on the con-
vlctfarm Of the Hoy-eye man.
The Dalton Ba1aana's Ass actually digs up
two criminal cases which Hugh Dorsey lost
and reproaches him steTnly about the loss of
those two.
Well, his main trouble with some folks is,
that he did not lose the Frank case.
Had he lost that, the roster of cases not
won, would have been three, and nothing said
against him.
It is entirely possible that Reuben Arnold
has lost more than two criminal cases-0ne of
q0h5cb runjt1es.
It is entirely possible that Luther Rosser
has lost more than two cases, one Of aUhich
rGnh2es
These two defeated and discredited lawyers
are rabid partisans of HOke Smith; and are
doing their best to bosmirch the fearless,
honest and victorious Solicitor who downed
them in the Mary Phagan case.
Those two Atlanta lawyers ought to be dis
barred on account of the Ragsdale affidavit
and the foul methods of the imported E'Great
Detective" William Jackass Burns
The ISLANDERS which the Hoke Smith papers
are heaping on Hugh Dorsey, are on par
with the villainous editorial which Jack
Cohen and Dick Gray published in Hoke
Smiths Journal.
Ii Hugh Dorsey were a me:cenary man, his
time to sell out ocds rhen H0he Smiths paper
sold ont.
Hugh Dorsey stood for the laws, for the
integrity Of our Judges and juries, at the time
when Reub Arnold, Luther Rosser, and Hoke
Smiths paper had all joined in the Burns
crusade against the honor and good name of
Georgia.
What makes the assault on Dorsey the more
absurd is, that all the HolZe Smith poems
pleaded with Dorsey to run for governor,
week after week and month after month.
If Dorsey were a sell-out sort of man, HoAe
Smith is the candidate he would have sup
ported.
It is Smith, not Joe Brown, that has unlimi-
ted money at his command.
It is Smith, not Brown, that gets govern
ment money at his Regional Bank, and pays
nothing for 1t.
A candidate whom the Government lends
money to- acithoW interest, is the candidate
who can buy support such, for instance, as
that of the Gainesville Buggard, the Dalton
donkey, and the Battle-Ground sand-piper.
The truth is have never known a more
brilliant political start than Hugh Dorsey has
made.
He has been dignifed, thorough, urbane and
statesmanly.

Are the Labor Leaders SUP
posed to Own the Members
of the Unions?


4 n individual who signs himself Richard
=. Mansion, writes a card in The Ge0r-
g5dn IN which he SAYS
1T is the duty of every respectable working
man IN Georgia, not only to go to the polls and
defeat Little joe Brown for the Senate but to
bury this pest SO deep under an avalanche of
honest labor votes that he will never have the
temerlty to pOllute ballot with his name again
Every workingman should vote Let us make
sure this corporation tool shall never menace the
rights Of honest workingmen again
ORCHARD E. MANSION,
"Presdent Atlanta Photo Engravers' Union"
Is 1t the duty of the heads of Labor Unions
to tell the wage earners how to vote?
Is a member of the Union to vote as he
pleases or must he vote as the head of his
Union pleases?
In other words, do white men who make
their daily bread in the sweat of their faces
become political serfs when they join Unions?
[ have been under the impression that the
laborlng men were independent citizens who
voted just as they pleased-the same as I do
But If Jerome Jones and Richard Mansion
can have their way, the heads of the Unions
will be political Bosses and the men will be
reduced to ciphers.
Jerome and Richard may believe they can
don't believe it.
We don't stand for that kind of thing in
Georgia.
Who is this Richard Mansion, anyway?
is he one Of the engravers who had some
trouble with Uncle Sam, about ten years ago?
Richard Mansion says that Hoke Smith
signed the prohibition bill though it cost him
personally considerable money"
This is delicate reference to the Piedmont
bar-room. But Richard is wrong in saying
that Smith lost any money by the prohibition
bill
Richard remembers, I am sure, that Smith
said he gave away his share of the profits
From every accessible h0use-top the virtu-
Gus Smith declared that all of his share in
the profits Of the barroom went to the sweet
uses Of Charity.
Therefore, Smith lost no money by signing
the prohibition bill Charity-lost pile, but
Smith didn't
Possibly that was one reason why he said,
when he signed the bill, that it was the hap
piest moment of his life
He was tired of seeing sweet Charity use
so much money that had whiskey on its
breath.
When the Tippins bill came up, it was
different. Tippins objected to the sale of
tipple called beer, and Smith objected to Tip
pms.
Consequently, Governor Smith prevailed
upon the Temperance champion, Hooper
Alexander, to block the Tippins bill in Tenn
perance legislature, it being the earnest desire
of Smith to avoid signing or yetoeing said
bill.
Having made a secret bargain with the
liquor interests, and being the avoved hero
of the prohibitionsts, Smith felt that he
ought not to be embarrassed by Tippins and
his beer bill.
