The italian Pope is drawing money out of
the National treasury for his schools hospit-
ais, &c, thus doing the exact opposite of what
IS wful~under our National Constitution
The Italian Pope is organizing additional
secret societies. bound together by v01cs of
intolerance and cTi27oe and these secret socie-
ties arm themselves drill themselves into sol
dlery and parade their guns and military ar
ray before our eyes, while such Roman pre-

Ilcly Drag about these armed soldiers of the
Pope and threaten to meet Protestant bal
lots with Catholic bullets
In the words of Loyess himself isn't it time
to call halt?
Who are these guns intended for?
What legitimate use has any religion for
all these secret societies. these elaborate mill
tary organizations, these accumulations of
guns and ammunition?
1t the Roman Catholics confne themselves
to their religion, nobody wants to hinder
them.
If they believe priest can talk Latin to a
bottle Of wine. and change it into Christ's
blood, let them believe it.
Ii popery is not aiming at anything antago-
nlstlc to our liberties, no Catholic has a right
to say he is insulted>when we renew our allie
glance to American principles.
But If popery IS aiming at something else,
then we have slept long enough.
The Sparta Convention is the aza1ma-czoch:
LET THE PEOPLE AWAKE!
Which Law Shall Be Supreme j.?
We American people are going to make our
own laws. We do not intend to obey any laws
made by Italian priests in Rome, Italy.
Nor do we intend that the priests of Rome
oh all
other States, the Canon laws of popery, sepa-
rating husband and wife and breaking up
happy homes.
They must learn-and quic1ly-that mar
riage solemnlzed in accordance with the
statutes of Georgia, is valid for all purposes
whatever. Church and State.
They must learn-and quickly-that any
priest who violates these laws of Georgia by
attacking with popish weapons a marriage
which is legal under our laws, is criminal
qch0mo aOe qOiW not tolerate.
They must learn-and quicl1l y-that unless
such priests Immediately abandon this crimi-
nal practise, we will deal them just that
amount of stern severity which so great
danger to social order demands.
Historically speaking, it has not been long
since Roman Catholics were disfranchised in
Great Britain because they obeyed the laws of
popery rather than the laws of England.
It has not been long since the Roman Cath
olics secured the repeal of those laws, by
pleading that Rome had abandoned the hate
full doctrines which placed Italian-made law
above England-made law
But, as Mr. Gladstone said, when England
removed the disabilities of the Roman Catho-
lies, Rome began to refurbish every ancient
weapon which she was thought to have dis
carded.
The Ne Temere Decree Breaking
Up Families.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-09-03


Perfectly legal under the laws of those
countries, the marriage of Protestant to a
Catholic was not to be tolerated by Rome.
unless resOlemnized under the laws made in
Rome.
Under that infamous Decree happy homes
have been destroyed all over the English
speaking world.
Rev. T. F. Galloway, Pastor of the First
Baptist church in Macon, Georgia, declares
In his pulpit that he knows of pathetic cases
where the priests of Rome have virtually
annulled the marriages which were absolutely
lawful under the laws of Georgia.
Shall a Foreigner Make Our Laws?
How can we submit to this insolent usurpa-
ton on the part of foreign potentate?
What law shall be supreme in this country?
The Constitution of the United States de-
clares itself to be supreme, and places Acts of
Congress and statutes Of States next in order.
But the italian Pope declares that his laws
on Marriage and Divorce are above State
law, above the Constitution of the United
States
"Under qchtch King" shall ne serre?
Our whole system Of Society rests upon
the Home-the home of the homogeneous
marriage.
If the laws made in foreign country, by
a church which is always controlled by for
egners. can override our Homes. and drive
husbands and wives apart. then we have a
foreign master controlling our Social Sys-
tenn.
No wonder England passed her Acts of
Supremacy, and compelled Roman Catholics
to either swear allegiance to the English mon
arch, or to go to the block
No wonder England was slow to trust the
Roman Catholics q second time
Cam a Roman Catholic Serve Two
Masters?
A house divided against Itself must fall;
and a government which allows foreign
King Emperor, Gar or Pope to set up an
authority III our midst which tramples upon
the laws which we ourselves make, and which
desolates Homes that are happy and legal
under our law. is government that is headed
for Civil War.
There cannot be two sovereigns in the same
State There cannot be two systems of law
operating upon the citizen.
No man can SorUe t1U0 masters. GOD HIM.
SELF HATH SAID 1T!
Either the priests must abandon the effort
to enforce that foreign decree of Joseph Fay
lor, or something bad 20lW happen to those
priests.
We cannot reach that nest of Vatican
vipers, those intriguing Italian priests whose
efforts to rule, deprave and despoil mankind
has blackened and bloodied SO many horrible
chapters of recent history.
We cannot reach the Italian secret societies
which despotically dominate the Roman Cath
olic church.
But we can reach the priests who introduce
treason into our States. We can protect our
Homes from foreign interference. We can
enforce absolute obedience to our laws.

Georgia, and they delivered their opinions
thus
"Resolved, That this convention endorse the
leVylng of tax upon cotton for the purpose Of
reducing the production Of cotton for the crop
Of 1915.
In the first place, the Government cannot
legally levy a destructive, discriminatory,
confiscatory tax on the cotton grower.
Any tyro in law ought to know that
1t any Congressman should be crazy enough
to introduce such a measure, and Congress
should be wild enough to pass it. and the
President so utterly oblivious of Constitu-
tl0nal limitations as to sign it, the Cotton
Growers should at once employ attorneys to
make test case, and knock the claw into a
cooked hat.
Has the Government the right to limit the
production of mules and calves?
Can the Government dictate to a merchant
as to how much stock he must carry?
Ii the Government once embarked in the
policy of meddling with your private bust
ness, where would it stop?
To levy Scent tax on every pound of cot
ton, would necessitate another swarm Of
Federal officers, coming in between you and
your private affairs.
If the cotton farmers osh for that sort Of
law now. on what grounds could they object
hereafter, if the Government wanted to levy
051other such t0U2
The Government could say that a tax of
$500 bale levied for 1916 would be Just as
beneficial to the crop of 1915, as the tax Of
1915 is claimed to be for the crop of 1914.
If a tax of fifteen dollars bale, will bless
the South n0ac, why wouldn't a continual tax
of that kind be a continual blessing?
Gentlemen! Don't go crazy! PLEASE
don't! Obhge me, just this once
The Income Tax, levied upon all our mil
ionaires has produced only $3O,OOOOOO.
The Corporation tax, levied on all our
dropsically rich Trusts, has yielded only $40,-
100000
Thus the wealthiest of the wealthy have
been taxed less than eighty million dollars.
Yet, we are told that the Cotton growers
Of the South ought to be subjected to a
Federal tax of one hur1dred and eighty million
dollars!
Think of one-horse tenant, raising bales
of cotton, paying 2 bales for rent 3 bales for
supplies, 1 bale for guano, and bales for
Federal tax
Where will he Get the money to pay Labor,
State and County tax, medical bills, and
school expenses?
God IN Heaven! When men get excited,
they lose their bearings like a lot of children.
To say that cotton growers will be blessed
by a tax of $500 on the bale. and that the
blessing will be good for one year only, is so
fantastic a proposition that I hardly know
whether to laugh at it, or to say something
that isn't fit to print
According to that idea, tax of 80 cents a
bushel on wheat would bless the grain growers

The Ne Temere Decree Breaking
Up Families.

It was left to Joseph Taylor (Guiseppe
Sarto) the late Pope Plus x. to issue the
cruel, medieval decree (Ne temoere) which
ordered the priests to break up all homes
where Protestant, legally married to Cath
Ollie, refused to admit that he was living in
adultery.
The priests were instructed by this Italian,
Joseph Taylor, to compel such Protestants to
admit that their marriages were unlawful,
and their legitimate children. bastards.
