RONfANISM ILLUSTRATED.

Dear Sir: / wish to call attention
to the wonderful display that the Ro
man Catholic church is making in
the Motion Picture films, | have OBJ
served for some time that the films
shown here, that wherever religion
is represented that it is always a
Catholic priest, or Catholic church
that is shown, which any Of us ought
to see that the National Board~Of
Censorship is either tholics, or are
dominated by the church Of Rome
The only way to put stop to
Rome forcing us to recognize their
so-Called religion is to boycott the
theatre that Will show their films,
| for one have bOycotted the show
here, and I know of many others
that have done the same thing, and
| expect to lend my influence in every
way possible to induce others to do
likewise.
There is nothing more detestable
to me than to sit in Motion Picture
show and see Rome illustrated.
Now is the time for all self-respect-
ing, liberty loving Americans to boy
cot ROmanism in every shape and
form, every dime you spend in sup
port Of Rome, Rome will make you
howl
The censorship is only an illustra-
ton Of what Romanism will do when
it has control of the censorship Of
the American press.

THE GOOD NAME OF GEORGIA IN
QUESTION.

Dear Sir: l have read with in
terest your article in the last issue
OF The JeffersOnian regarding the
Leo Nj. Frank case, and have always
been great admirer Of your writ
ln3S; however, a greater ssue than
his guilt or innocence has grown out
of this case, and the good name of
our beloved State is being trampled
IN the dust, and Georgia is being
compared or classed with S. c.. and
Mexico.
1t has gone out to the world that
the citizens Of this State do not stand
for law and order, but rather tolerate
and encourage mob violence, and [
think it is the duty of all good citi-
2ens to protest against this mob
spirit, and see that justice is accorded
to all citizens, Jew or Gentle, white
or black.
Have you heard Of any protest
from any citizen, press or pulpit, con-
demning the mob that assaulted a
man on the streets of Marietta a few
months ago? and as long as our
G0od citizens viii allow such law
lcssness to exist ana make no pro-
test, whatever, against such acts, we
cannot blame people outside Of our
State for criticising our courts and
people.
Realizing what influence you are
eXeTting through your valuable pa
per, we cannot help envying you
the opportunities you have Of rails
ing the standard Of our people, and
causing them to have higher ideals
of Justice and right, and thus help
them to protest against everything
that is not for Justice and good or
der. Respectfully,
Ca. j. T. REED.

have the oldest and sorriest buildings

not right and too much can not be
said about this infamous law and
maybe the legislature will repeal it
as it should be done.

in this letter.

the fruits of the grand seed you are
sowing and have sown, I am,
Ever your friend,

THE TAX EQUALIZATION LAW:
ANOTHER TETW'ER

Dear Sir: Have just read an
article in the last Jeffersonian on the
Equalization Tax Law, signed by
''TaX Paper" on page four, and want
to tell you and your many readers Of
how the so-calIed Equalizers of
Worth County did a widow Of an
old Confederate veteran.
This infamous law has for it's worst
victims the widows who are the least
able to stand it,
A four hundred and ninety acre
lot Of land here at old Isabella, Ca,
is owned by five different men and
two women, "WidoWs One widow
owns twelve acres, the other fifteen
acres; the one owning the twelve
acres was taxed $4,000 per acre. the
other taxed $500. Now one of the
men owning land joining this widows
land that was taxed $4,000 per acre,
has just a wire fence between his
land, and was put at $500, another

Dear Sir: For several months the
Chattanooga newspapers, The Times
and The News, have been lending
publication to every defense Of Leo
nj. Frank and to every calumny of
Georgia and her courts because of
his conviction therein. 1t mattered
not how lengthy these TRADES against
Georgia we're, these papers would
publish them. 1t matteTed not how
coarse the epithets flung at Georgia
courts were they, too, would be pub
lishcd. Recently Mr. Tom w. Lee,
Of Chicamauga, Ga, sent to the Chat
tanOOga News your magazines de-
fenso Of the court that convicted
Frank in Atlanta, and Of course the
News refused to publish it, On
what ground, do you ask? That the
article was too long, and that it CON
tanned language too scurril0us for
the News clean sheets! Monstrous
hypocrisy, isn't it! OF course the
newspaper did not have to publish
the article in it's entirety, but it could
have printed a synopsis Of the most
salient facts of your article.
Being a Georgian living in Chat
tanooga and regenting this partially
Of the Chattanooga dailles in edi-
torially condemning Georgia courts
and her people, and in reproducing

IMMIGRATION SHOULD BE
STOPPED!

Dear Sir: In regard to the immi-
grafton bill, that is up to Woodrow
Wilson whether or not it shall be-
come law in it's present form or
vetoed by him and changed to suit
those who do not favor it's passage as
it now stands, the public is anX-
iOusly awaiting the results. With an
educational clause or without, does
our country actually need immigrants
from any part of the world? Haven't
we already more people than we are
able to take care Of? See the suffer-
ing in nearly all Of Our large cities,
are not the majority of these immi-
grants from foreign countries?
Then, why allow others to emf
crate and add misery to suffering?
| am opposed to any kind Of i'm
migration. we have enough people Of
our own, more than we take care
Of as they should be. Those who are
making every effort to food our Uni
ted States with these foreigners con-
tend that they viii teach our farm
eTs how to farm. Are we not now
making more cotton in the South
than we can sell at profit? Are
we not making more on the farms
than ever before?
We certainly are, and we do not
need any more foreigners to COM
pete with us in our vOcatiOns.
We have our own poor of white
and black here in the South, and in
a, general way are getting along
peaceably. and have been at this for
two generations, and it is too late
now to introduce into our homes an
element unknown to us, for the sake
of gratifying the wishes of the poll
ticians and the big business Of
America.
We do not need them here as COM
petitOrs. Of the poor whites and the
negro, whose only asset for making
living is their labor, and we are
not going to stand for it. Take these
to your cities if you will have them
where you can hand them out charity
when needed, but we don't need
them in the country to teach us how
to farm, and in this, the negro and
the majority Of the whites are as
one man.
Then if we must have these poor
poverty stricken foreigners who are
not wanted in their own country,
take them to your cities, we do not
need them in the country and are
not going to have them.
Yours truly,
Ga. w. S. LANDRUM.

We have all heard OF Paschal, the
Enterprise lad who played so bril-
liantly last year., Those who know
say he will make good in this league
and will only stay in it one season
for he will be drafted for faster COM
pany next year. Well, that's the
kind Reidy is looking for.
1t is said some of the very best OF
baseball players come from the very
smallest towns. For instance, Ty
Cobhs home town is not large
enough to comfortably cuss the cat
in, and where Dothan is hoping his
tory will repeat itself, as it has an al
legged habit of doing, is in Clements, a
young player up here at Pinckard
Not than Pinckard is such a small
place, but Clements has a reputation
in amateur ball that if he holds up in
professional ball on the Dothan team
Pinckard will have something besides
its size to put it on the map. Gle
ments will be here this week.
In all something like thirty-five to
forty men have been signed for Do
than's team, and for any of them to
stick, ability must be shown, and
Jack Reidy will be the sole judge.
This much can be said, unofficially
Of course, that when Reidy gets
through trying out the players in the
small towns around Dothan, he will
make his work so thorough that every

(From Dothah Morning News

The directors of the Dothan Base
ball association are to hold meet
ing at baseball headquarters to-
night, when a number Of business
matters will be gone into, and an en-
thusiastic meeting is expected.
Jack Reidy is not leaving any stones
unturned in getting together a base
ball club that will be a credit to Do
than. Although the reporting day
is set for next Monday, April 18th,
a number of players will be tried out
this week. Those to be tried out this
week are either boys living here in
Dothan or in some of the neighbour
ing towns.
Tup Rushing, of Elba, said to be
a top notch outfielder, will be given
a try-out. Elba fans say he is good
enough for any league and will GER
tainly make good. Besides being a
good fielder and fast on the bases,
he is a natural batter, and stands up
to the plate like a professional.
A young fellow in Mariana by the
name of Price made such a reputa-
ton last summer that he will be
given a try-out by Manager Reidy.
People who recommended him to Mr..

There is progress and development
In religion. God is unchangeable;
truth is eternal, always the same, but
mans conceptions and ideas of God
advance as time passes. The heather
thinks Of many gods. In India there
are millions of images. The religious
instinct is so strong that men worship
as naturally almost as they breathe.
The first and simplest form of wor-
ship was, and is, Animism, which
may be found in parts of Africa and
India, where the least signs of civil-
cation are to be found. In Animism,
man worships the spirit of the trees,
animals, and any other objects. Later
they bow down to certain great OBJ
jects, like the sun, the moon, mother
earth, the deities residing over them.
The Romans developed the ideas fur
Their and developed the War God,
Mercury, Female Goddess, and
Bacchus, the God of wine-pleasure.
To civilized humanity these deities
are only noble traditions, preserved
by the classics of Homer, Virgil and
others, whose names are immortal
The Jew brought his contribution.
God forbade him to mingle with the
polytheists. He must teach the ma
tions to believe in and worship only
one God. Up to his time he undoubt-
eddy had the truest conception of re-
ligion. Abraham, Moses and the pro-
phets unconsciously gathered the best
from those who lived before them. In
the fullness of time conditions were
ripe in every way, for the man who
was "born King of the Jews" Jesus
Christ of the seed of David, fulfilled
the numerous prophesies made cen
turtles before about his birth, life,
death and resurrection. His teaching
excelled all those who had gone be-
fore Him. He is worthy, "whO being
in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God; but
made himself of no reputation, and
took upon him the form of servant,
and was made in the likeness of men;
and being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself, and became ODE
dent unto death, even the death of
the cross. Wherefore God hath high
ly exalted him, and given him a name
which is above every name; that at
the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven, in earth and under
the earth; and that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the Glory of God, the Faith

ways worship Gods son.
