THE .JEFFERSONIAN

Does the I?lGt~ belong to an Episcopacy,
or to the people! Is it the mouthpiece of an
ecclesiastical Ring, or is it the voice of the
denomination!
Is it operated for the sole benefit of the
salary-class on the Mission Boards, and in
the foreign fields or is it run for the general
good Of all Baptists?
The [nNe:g has been making a grievous
mistake in gagging such foreign missionaries
as Rev i. L. McCrca.
IL the work in the foreign field is not what
the Board represents it to be, the people have
a right 10 know it.
But how can the people learn the truth, If
those who want to tell it are gagged?
Even now, | have another communication
from Our Brother McCrea, in which he as
suros me that all l have said about the de-
plorabo extravaganza and failure of the pres
c1at methods, is true.
But the Index obstinately refuses to publish
anything, except those particular things that
the editors believe.
That sort Of intolerance is unworthy of
this day and time. and it IS unworthy OF the
liberal Baptists Of Georgia
Another thing is hurting the Inder: it has
lost touch with the movement Of public 0pir-
ION.
Public opinion is moving powerfully
against Roman Catholic aggressions, and the
Indem refuses to see it. Public opinion is
moving powerfully against the Northern
Book Trust which has colluded with our
Public School officials to rob the people.
The I91deu has not only shut its eyes to this
fact, but it waves the red rag before the bull
by keeping M. L. Britain on its editorial
staff
NJ L. Britain, as State School Commits
sioner, has been recreant to his trust, has be-
trayed the school children to the Northern
Book Trust, and is vehemently suspected of
having done it, c011~pt7y.
NJ L. Britain has violated the laws of
Georgia by surrendering portion of the
States money to the Pope's schools schools
over which the State has no control whatever.
For this violation Of law and gross breach
of trust, ". L. Britain deserves to be I'M
peoched.
The people, generally know the facts, and
are in a ferment over the question: but the
Indcu refuses to open its eyes. Why?
Unless the Indep means to broaden its
gauge, unload some of its dead timber, and
put itself in touch with the spirit of the
times, it ight as we'll close up shop
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-01-21
(ANsWER.)

Several years ago, the legislature submitted
to the people a proposition to change our
highest law (the Constitution so as to allow
this local tax. in addition to all other taxes
Either because the people wanted this new
tax, or because, they didn't read their blanket
ballots, they changed the law, and gave them
selves more taxes.
[ have not read the new law, but have to
pay the tax.
It seems to be levied by militia districts,
and collected when the other taxes are paid.
If somebody should quietly pass bill
through the legislature, and submit to the peo-
pie to abolish court-houses, jails. lunatic asy-
lums, churches and newspapers, and the
printers should put it on the blanket, in small
type. [ believe it would stand good chance
to pass at the regular election.
The county officers who quietly got the
DEAR vigilant people to double their TERMS
made great mistake.
They ought to have asked that their two
year terms be extended for life, with re-
mainder over to their oldest sons.
AS [ have often said BEFORE this is great
country; and self government is like an auto
mobile that loses its steering-gear unzess the
voters pay attention to aohat they are doing.

WEAR SIR: Please allow me just enough OF your
~ valuable time to ask you just one question:
am a reader of The Jeffersonan, and | see where
others ask questions and your answers are always
satisfactory. So l thought | would ask some
questions in regard to this district school TAX
live in a district where lines have been run
around and they say all property INSIDE OF
those lines subject to a SPECIAL tax, calleo
school tax. l want to know who has the power
to levy those taxes, or it he collected by law!
I have paid my County and State taxes on all or
my property and it looks hard for me TO be taxed
by somebody don't know, and have to keep ana
maintain school and not have anybody gong
to school.
Of all the taxes this is Of the hardest
ever had to pay, and I know it is unjust, ana
if there is any law to keep from paying such tax
I want to know it. Please answer through The
Jeff and oblige
Respectfully,
w. T. HINSLEY.

ssThe Baptist OK Is I'm the DitcEl.''
ROXED up, neatly, but not gaudily, on the
~ front cover of The Christian I9dew, for
Jan. IA, 1915, is an editorial under the dole
full headline above.
The editorial is quite as full Of lamcntation
as the doleful headline would lead you 10 ex-
pect
Said editorial begins this way:
-
Al cx is very ssrTcoahls animal. !Ie is
gool 20 pull, ana seldom halks. lie takes the
yo&; npon your neck uncompla nnsy, and makes
az effort TO pu;i every thing that is put en- him
He deserves good treatment at the hands of his
master. His ability 10 serve depends upon it.
poor ca that is down in the d!tca IS worthy q
being pulled out.
Gi2.
1t appears that this poor, docile. servicea-
BILE steer is down in the ditch to the extent
Of $4,000.
It isn't every OK that can browse on credit
fodder to that extent. At present prices, it
would take over 500 bales of cotton to liqul-
date this Baptist steer. No well-regulated OK
ought TO eat up that amount on credit. In
fact very few oxen have chance to do it.
1t also appears III this doieful editorial,
new their subscriptions TO the I;3dco
The Index implores these laggsrds and
loitcrcrs to come right along with s.. apiece,
to got the OK out of the ditch.
But if there are $500 Baptists who have
been foddering the steer, but who arc not
disposed to continue it, there must be some
reason for the change Of heart in these former
patrons.
Is the Iqadc~ willing to make a candid self
examination?
Is it willing to recognize the facts, even
though they be disagreeable?
If 50, it can soon get out of the ditch
Ny observation is, that no organization,
however strong, can in these days keep Up
a periodical. unless the periodical has merits
of its own which Justify the support given 1t.
On the contrary, if the periodical IS good,
of itself, the public will support it, because
the public feels the need Of 1t.
You may bet your bottom dollar that you
cannot, for any length of time, compel the
public to buy something it doesn't want, nor
keep it from buying what it does want.
Take the Uncle RemaAs Magazine, for all
example: it started out with a capital of
quarter million dollars. and was lavishly adj
vertised by the Atlanta Constitution and
other papers.
At first everybody took it. One reason was,
that everybody was ready to help Southern
magazine get on its feet. Another was the
popularity of Joel Chandler Harris.
But the magazine never did touch bottom,
and soon hoated out to sea, derelict-why!
There was nothing to it, to keep it alive.
Now, as to the Iodeu In the first place,
it's price is too high. One dollar year is the
price of better papers than the L?ede~, and it
is therefore mistake for the Inde~ to charge
tacO.
In the second place, the Inde~ is too ILL
beral hide-bound and proscriptive.

biggest match of the career of the Westerner and one which has been looked forward to for many months, was secured. Jones has been content to train his protege for thc biz match rather than to have him shown before lesser lights in the pugillstic world. Thus he is prepared to present to the boxing fans and enthusiasts, man practically unknown in many respects. and whose boxing habits will be un- known.
 Jones has She distinction of having played trump cards on many occas. ions. It was he who made champions of Billy Papke "rhe Illinois Thur derbolt," and Ad Wolgast. "rhe Mich igan Wildcat. He groomed them for their big matches and what success he has had is well known. With Wii- ard he looked for a match with John son, and after many trials has sue ceeded in aramglng for the big show. Willard has been in training behind closed doors for the past six months and has been put through the hard est kind of work.
 Several of the promising hopes were put to sleep in the training guar. ters by Willard, as the best were se- cured as his sparring partners. Will lard will fit himself for the big match near Havana. He does an of his train ing in the open air.
 With Willard at this time are Wal ter Monohan. the Pasadena heavy weight: Jack Hemple. of San Fran cisco; "Tex." O'Rourke. a Midland County, Texas Giant; Jim Savage, a New York heavyweight Jimmy Flynn who has fought an of the big ones including Johnson, and Yusif Illus sane. the Turkish wrestler the latter being there to use rough stuff in the cIinches and force the big Westernei to work fast Ad Wolgast is also with the crowd and will add what he can to the lessons. Jim Jeffries is there and in an advising capacity only.
 Walter Monohan who has boxing school In Pasadena California, has trained both Jeffries and Johnson. He was sought by Johnson for the fight but Willard beat him to it. It was Monohan who taught the big black the use of his right in the wonderlu uppercut, which has counted so muet for him in his many bouts He has taught Willard the use of his rieh in similar manner and has gone much further. teaching him breal
 for the deadly upper He expect ! Willard to whip Johnson, as he is more 1t man and handles himsei equally as well fl not better than th' negro.
 The result of the great fight wil
 be watched for with great interest no only by boxing enthusiasts of thii country but Of Europe and Australia ! The two men are towers of strengil and nrowesa and when they meet
 they will afford a fight the like O
 which has not been seen for man' ] years

 That Jack Johnson will not have easy sailing when he meet Jes Will. lard. the big cowboy at Havana April 3. Is a foregone conclusion according to many sportwriters. although there are many others who believe that the big black fellow win come out win- ner because of his experience. John son IS still a good man with his gloves and even though he has lived high" during the past couple Of years it is thought that he has not lost his real aggressiveness and cunning and the walicp that did SO much for him in his bout with Jefiries Is just as firm and powerful now as it was then, and his famous uppercut still has it's dead ly sting. Even with these assets he will be compelled to travel harder and faster than he ever did before.
 Willard, accustomed to the hard things Of lie. has been training, and enduring much, preparing himself for the greatest clash of his career Well does he know that when he meets the big negro he will have to put forth his best efforts and his best efforts will be backed up by his de- termination. He is inspired to win and enthusiastic to have the contest started. With his enthusiasm he will be cautious, knowing full well the cun. hing of the champion, and be win not permit himself to be pulled down to defeat without the most bitter fight Ing
 Johnson still has many admirers in ' this country and abroad, and they are confident that he will come out of the bout winner holding the title that he secured from Jeffries. They have prlded themselves on the past record of the negro, and have been led blind ] ly to believe that the bis cowboy could not under any circumstances be the equal of their favorite.
