THOMSON, Ga, FEBRUARY IL, 1914.
IL Lived i'm Alabama. I'd Take
tgle Stump For Gov. B. B.
Conner.

THERE is no Southern man, entrusted with
office, who has made a Drawer fight for the
common people than B. B. Conner.
For years, he was forced by the railroad
lawyers into a bitter fight with Federal
Judge Thos. Jones.
Back of the railroad lawyers were those
sinister figures. Milton Smith, and his muir
derous henchman, Dune Cooper-the man
who shot Senator Carmacz from behind.
Judge Jones set himself above the whole
State government of Alabama, above the
legislature, above the Railroad Commission
above the 18th Amendment to the Constitu-
ton. He allowed private person (the n. Il.
Railroad) to sue the State, when the Consti-
tuition, Tin consequence of the Chisholm case
and John Marshall's decision thereon) had
been changed for the very purpose of pre-
venting suits by individuals against State.
Judge Jones not only over-rode the law
most insolently, but allowed his bitter spirit
to almost precipitate civil war between the
Federal Court and the officials of the State
upon whose legal rights the arbitrary and
obstinate Jones was trampling.
The railroads had their way with Judge
Jones, as they did with Judge Pritchard of
North Carolina.
But it so happened that cases involving
some of the main points for which such men
oO141SAS
Governor Swanson were contending, came
before the Z. S. Supreme Court.
That tribunal decided in our favor the
great point that the Judges could not hold,
IN ad00nce, that law reducing railroad rates
would be what they called 'confscatory."
Governor Conner Immediately acted in
behalf Of his people, and against the injunc-
ton which Judge Jones had granted.
Judge Pardee dissolved the Injunction and
Alabama at once began to enjoy those lower
rates which the State had ordered
Milton Smith and Judge Jones do not love
B, B. Conner. He whipped them to a FRAGILE.
He was a man that a Federal Judge couldn't
scare, and whom that rotten old corruption
ist Milton Smith, could not buy.
1t is natural for such men as Smith to seek
the defeat Of such men as Conner, when they
run for Office.
That is the situation in Alabama, moao
Conner is again candidate, and Milt Smith
is after his scalp. ---.-.-.
The people 81 Alabama will do bad days
work if they permit Milton Smith and his
railroad lobby gang to beat such a civic hero
as B. b. Conner
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-02-12

1naC picture is about LOU years OLD, anu
shows that the Christians of that time were
commemorating Christ by a Supper, just as
they continued to do for ages
But now we Baptists, like the others, have
become sore-footed on the question OF the
wine and the bread; the wine must not be
sure-enough wine; and the bread must be
doled out to us IN such minute quantities that
it can hardly be called supper.
We Baptists used to glory in the fact that
we had no Bishops and that we did not have
to kiss any Pope's foot. But some of our
wise members thought the Methodists were
getting too much ahead of us, in numbers, by
the same fatal direction of episcopacy by
illegally putting the Southern Baptist Asso-
citation and the Mission Boards on u.s.
Now, suppose the Baptists should begin to
elect Bishops, and claim that the Lords Sup
per is sacrifice of Christ to God, and that
the preacher can forgive our sins, and that
there is a purgatory where the souls of the
dead can be kept in torment until their rela-
tons come and bail them out, &c, &c.
In few years, you would hear some stall
wart, moral hero of Baptist sound the
clarion
"Let us go back to the first principles of
our church. We have strayed from the old
path; we have left the old landmark; let
us 60 back
Who will come and 60 with me? Even
though | go alone [ am going to the old
faith of my fathers!"
Ii such a cry could be heard resounding
through the Baptist churches, / am sure that
my friend Hogan would understand what it
meant.
Now as to going back to the principles of
Jefferson, it is the old story in new guise
Jeffersonism was simple: equal and exact
Justice to all, without special privilege to any.
No standing army; no great navy; the civil
power to be always above the military
All money to be created by the Govern
Intervention of national banks
No mans industry to be granted a mono
poly at the expense of the others which,
indeed, may be embraced in the maxim. Ono
special favors to any"
Absolute freedom of speech and of press
were two of the great bulwarks of freedom
which Mr. Jefferson thoroughly priced.
In fact, when I say we ought to 90 back
to the principles of Jefferson, mean those
democratic Ideas which got into our Consti-
tuition In spite of Alexander Hamilton-some
of which democratic principles were trampled
under foot by the undemocratic life-tenure
Federal judges, like Marshall and Story and
the Jesuit, Edward White
Thomas Jefferson bitterly opposed the life
tenure Federal judiciary, predicted all the
evils 1t has brought upon the people, and
foresaw how it would serve the CORPORATIONS
by undermining Jefersonian prnci pies.
My young friend, we have advanced in
astronomy and in geology in mecahnics in
electricity: we have changed our system Of
education, but it is at least debatable whether
we have improved it: but we have not
advanced in morals, and am sure that our
new thology must often tempt the angels, to
hang their harps on the willows, and weep
