1t did not stop at this Infamous outrage
upon those whose privilege it is to respect
me, and love me, but it declared that ought
to be driven out of the state, or hanged.
Carrying its fury to the pitch of insanity,
the Straus magazine said that the State of
Georgia needed another Sherma1's marcel.
Thus. the New York Jews not only threat
ened my own life, but menaced the entire
State In which one most guilty Jew had been
legally convicted.
Of course the threat was an empty one, but
when our readers saw this, they were naturally
indignant, and the Llthonia workman wrote
me the following letter:
"Dear SIR Ever since reading that threat
against you and Others my old blood has been
hot. When General Strauss, Colonel Haas, Major

ROmanism Showing its Hand i'm This Country

many hundreds of millions of dollars have
been spent by your government to drain the
swamps, insure health, employ labor, create
a great canal, and thus add enormously to the
wealth of Panama, the Catholic bishop,
Roas, has recently issued a public letter
which breathes all the murderous hate of the
Papal Inquisition.
1t appears that certain Protestant bodies of
the United States desired to hold Congress-
in Panama, and that they had secured the use
of the National Theatre which belongs to the
little Republic of Panama.
Bishop Rojas flew into a rage at the idea
of detestable 'heretics'' holding convention
in his diocese, and he issued furious TRADE
against these Americans, commanding the
Catholics to boycott the Congress.
He not only forbade his flock to listen to
a word from the detested Americans. but he
denounced the President of Panama for hav-
ing given his consent for their use of the Ma
tional Theatre
This denunciation of the wrathful Bishop
so frightened the President, that he at once
telegraphed to the Panamian minister, in
Washington, requiring him to notify the
Americans that they could not use the theatre.
Here, then, you have pretty and timely
illustration of that beautiful Christian spirit
of the Catholics which certain so-called Pro
testant papers of this country supposes to
exist.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-10-28

T HE humblest negro in the land is entitled
to a fair trial in community not
biased against him, and by Judge and jury
who are strictly impartial
1t is but too plainly apparent that part
of the Slaton- Grant Haas Catholic Campaign

conditions for my trial in Augusta.
Nothing is left undone by local news
paper, whose near Catholic editor was hired
by John Grant, to commence personal war
upon me, in the vicinity in which it was
known [ am to be tried.
Every old exploded charge which personal
professional and political rancor ever
brought against me, has been refurbished and
again paraded.
When [ declined to re-thresh this mouldy
old straw and treated with contempt the
hireling who brought it out, the attack as
sumed different form.
A letter written to The Jeffersonian by an
honest Georgian, stone-cutter at Lithonia,
was maliciously misrepresented.
You will remember that when Straus'
magazine, Puck, could no longer publish vii
famous cartoons against the State Of Georgia,
picturing her ''shame etc" in reference to the
conviction of the Jew who murdered Mary
Phagan, it turned it's guns on me.

DURING recent years, there have been
- many official visits interchanged be-
tween North and South America.
We have sent costly delegations to Brazil,
Chill, Bolivia, ETC., and these delegates made
many speeches to many reception banquets.
It was expensive, but it had become the
fashion, and it was supposed to be drawing
the South American states into brotherly
relation with our Republic.
In the progress of this get-together move
ment, new confederation was born, almost
without attracting attention.
We woke up one morning and found that
our Republic had been made a member of
new Confederacy, named "The Pan-Ameri-
can"
In this new Union, our Republic is the only
member which is not openly and intolerantly
Roman Catholic.
John Barrett the head of the new union is
a bigoted Catholic, and so are the other Of
ficials of it.

NEWS or FARM AND RANCE

Rains Not snow Make Crops
That the shortage st snow in the
mountains this year win not affect
the crops II normal spring rains are
received is the belief Of Supervisor j.
NJ. schmltz OF the Wenaha reserve
who passed through Pendleton Mon
day en- route 70 La Grande.
THE Wenaha National Forest has
been under forest service manage
ment nearly 10 years" he said.
There is now less STOW in the noun
talns than there has been at this time
OF the year since the creation Of the
forest in 1905. there being less than
one-half Of the normal amount. Some
of the old settlers predict a dry sea
son and short crops on that account
but do not think that prediction
should be taken too seriously. The
water in the streams may get very
low during the latter part Of the
summer, but II is generally the May
and June rains that make the prin-
clDal crops.
"A year ago there was about twice
the amount of snow there Is now, but
we had an exceptionally dry summer.
Two years ago the snow was about
an average, but we had an abund-
ance of rain in June. The weather
records on or near the forest show
that 1t rained practically every day
in June and continued so until July
4. which insured a good water supply
for irrigation throughout the season.
"The spring of 1905 was a very dry
one and toward the latter part OF
May good many of the wheat farm
ers thought the wheat was past re-
demptlon, but the heavy three days
rain of May 2s. 29 and 80 revived 1t
and the crops turned out to be good
while the farmers would like to
see more moisture, the small amount
Of snow in the mountains, is no indi-
cation of short crops"
