suppose Bolfeulllet and Brown marry
Gga5n, and are indicted for bigamy, what will
be their legal defense, under Georgia zaao?
Suppose the priest knowingly remarries
these two men, while their wives are living,
what will be his legal defense, eaeder Georgia
nq0P
The Telegraph will please answer
Think Of the outrage perpetrated by the
Italian Pope and his foreign law, upon those
two Georgia ladies, who, with the infinite
trust of womanhood, placed their reliance on
the VOWS to love them protect them, In sick
ness and in health, 'u1otI death do as part"
Did either of those brides have the remotest
idea that her lawful husband could be taken
from her by law made in foreign land?
''No faith to be kept with heretics!" So
runs the maxim of Rome
Even the Catholic husband, who has led
'heretic" maiden to the altar, and vowed
eternal fidelity to her; and then taken her to
his arms and his bed, in the sacred relation
of wife, can throw her aside like a WORKOUT
garment, repudiate his pledges, prove false to
his vows-and do it, SIMULTANEOUSLY, in the
name Of "religion."
These are the men qc7t0 are cZam0rinG
against oar divorce zaacs!
The foreign law Of the Italian Pope can be
brought here, to destroy lawful homes, and
blight the lives of legally married Protestant
girls. and it is all right.
But if maddened wife goes into court, and
pleads for release from drunken brute, aUA0
is fozSe to every duty Of the marital relation,
our laws must clutch her, and fling her back,
hopeless and despairing, into life that is an
earthly hell!
So say the Romansts.
Let us make a comparison, betaOecn CotA) j.
Ncs and Jeoos:
BY the "religion" Of the Catholics, they
are not married at all, unless married accord
ing to a foreign law. which conflicts with the
laws of Georgia
BY the religion Of the Jews, they are not
bound to observe our Sunday, but have per-
feet right to KEEP their places of business open,
as on week days.
Is it any concern of the State, if the Jews
go by their religion, instead of by our zaao?
Haven't the Jews as much right to use
their religion, and their Conscience" as an
excuse for viOz0ting orr zaacs as the Roman
Catholics have?
If not, why not?
If The Telegraph can tell me, I will be
greatly obliged.
If Roman Catholic can put his "con-
science" IN a position of treasonous law
breaking, why may not Jew put his con-
science above the observance Of or Sabbath?
The Telegraph says the Roman Church us
thriving pretty we'll" Yes, she is.
She began to recuperate at the identical
time that the Protestant churches began to
forget why they were established
So long as Professionalism does not protest
against popery, the average citizen does not
know what are the baleful effects of popery,
when it once gains control

that the Democratic party lost forty-eight
seats in Congress, last year, because of Presi-

AHu 4 ne Telegraph says that thlS Is no con-
Germ of the State
What, then, could concern the State?
The State is the sovereign, and heir to all
the ancient powers of the crown.
When did the crown ever treat with uncon-
Germ the introduction Of foreign zaao unto
the Real2n?
Let The Telegraph read Chapter VIII. of
Book w., Of Blackstone's Commentaries on
the Laws Of England; and it will realize how
sound is my position
Had the Macon priest lived in the days,
succeeding the eign of Edward I. of Eng
land, he would have been tried for treason,
under the praenaur1ire statutes, AND WOULD
HAVE LOST HIS HEAD.
Had Boifeuillet lived under those Catholic
Kings of England, and given his obedience
to the law of the Italian Pope, the Catholic
courts Of England would have sentenced
him to lifelong Imprisonment, and to confis-
cation Of his property.
England was intensely Catholic, when the
1'T0en1u32ire statutes were adopted. and she
remained SO for centuries; but hen. Catholics
were patriots first, and papists, afterwards;
and they naonfu1zy refused to bend their neczs
TO q foreign zGaU.
How can The Telegraph regard the rela-
ton of husband and wife as a private matter?
What State ever treated this fundamental
relation of society, as a private matter?
The home is the basis of civilization, and,
of course, marriage is the basis of the home
Are we to be told that Catholic priests can
destroy lawful homes by compelling Cqth-
0Ac husbands to desert their Protestant
qci0es, and that it is none Of the States bust
ness?
If it is not the States business, why make
any laws on the relation of Husband and
Wife?
If it is none of the States business, why
do we make laws declaring what constitutes
a lawful marriage?
After the State does declare what shall be
a lawful marriage, for her own citizens, is it
no concern of the State if her own citizens
violate those laws?
According to the logic of The Telegraph,
our laws against Bigamy are impertinent
They trespGss upon the inclination of the
aadividuaz
If the citizen deserts wife he tires of, and
takes another, that is his own private affair,
and does not concern The Telegraph, The
JetfersOnlan, or the State.
If Turk comes here from Constantinople,
cllngs to his religion, and persuades three
Macon ladies to marry him, all at the same
time, it is nobody's business, but that of the
Turk and the three Macon ladies'
IL mormon moves In upon us, CllngS to
his polygamous inclinations, and prevails
upon five or ten Macon ladies to unite with
him in the bonds of wedlock it is nobody's

| am certainly astonished to find a staid
and sober old family paper, like The Tele-
graph, going at this wild gait.
Now, let us see what the Ne t6n2ere decree
has done for Boifeuillet and Bernard Brown,

a Romanist acho does not sign his u0nae,
has an article in the Dalton Citizen, defend
ing President Wilson's employment Of
Tumulty, the Jesuit.
The continued service Of this man, IN the
most confidential capacity, is not criticised
merely because he is "a Catholic" as the
writer in the Citizen alleges, bit because he
IS Jesuit.
Why did the Italian Pope abolish this dam
gerous secret society?
VIII the writer in the Dalton Citizen
tell us?
1t was not until 1914, that this dangerous
secret society could prevail on Pope Plus
VII. to revive the abolished order.
Let the Catholic writer III the Citizen tell
us why one infa1libIe Pope abolished the
Jesuits, and another infaIlble Pope restored
them
We Protestants can not understand such
papal doings.
If the Jesuts are not bad, in the very law
and purpose of their organization, why did
the Popes so long refuse to allow the order
to exist?
And if it Is bad, why did the Popes grant
new life to it?
The Jesuit oath was forced into the French
Parliament during the celebrated law-cas2 Of
the Marseilles merchants against the Jesuit
traders of the French West Indies.
That case is known by the name of the
Jesuit, Gather" LavaIette; during the trial,
the Jesuits were compelled to produce their
secret ritual and oath in open court
Tho hOrr1h1n nature Of this Caprnt oath
created prodigious sensation, and the
Jesuits were expelled from France.
Later, they were expelled from nearly
every other European country, most of which

Now, if Tumulty is Jesuit in the same
sense that Cardinal Gibbons is, and if he took
the Jesuit oath as shown up in the French
court, then he Is q blacz-hcnrtcd traitor and
q bitter foe to our cicH and religious free
dom.
For the President of the United States to
put Jesuit between himself and the millions
OF Protestants who want to communicate
freely with him, Is an afr0nt to crc1y no11-
Catholic IN the United States.

what it has cost him to keep that Jesuit

The writer in the Dalton Citizen says that,
"Bloodshed and persecution form no creed
of the Catholic Church,
When did this ignorant writer read the
creed of the Roman Catholic Church?
The star theologlan of the Roman Church
is St. Thomas Aqunas, and he teaches blood

theological teachers to again teach the doc

here Tonight before the National Security

The present position of the nation and
its lack of adequate preparation for de

ditions to the army and navy he consid-
cred advisable were outlined by Mr.. Taft
who said:
do not let us sacrifice the national se-
curity to an academic theory or the wish
to vndicate it,
"I find myself somewhere between
Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Roosevelt and 9TH
ers-utterly at variance with Mr.
Bryans view. but not going as far as
Mr.. Roosevelt in the amount Of prep
aration needed or practicable" said
Mr. Taft. Mr. Bryan says that mo
nation is going to attack us and that
preparation makes us truculent and ag-
gressive." Is it more likely that we
shall invite war because we are mere
ly ready to defend ourselves, than that
nations will attack us because we are
helpless?

London, Nov 10.--While the Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians are still press
