Travelling the Old Roads TO the
Same Old Collapse.

IN the Savannah Press of August 10Th,
there appears a picture of our battle
ship, Florida, flying the Church flag above
the Stars and Stripes
The photograph was taken during "divine
services"
Whether the Florida is one of the United
States war vessels where the Roman priest
mumbIes Latin to pancake, and turns it
into Jesus Christ [ do not know.
1t seems that every battle-ship has
Church flag, and that this emblem is run
up above the national colors, every time the
chaplain goes into action.
You know, our churches are all so wealthy
that they insist on paying $4,000 heathen-
in heathendom-to let the missionaries
claim them as converts, but they are too
poor to pay for chaplain in Congress, i'll
the legislatures in the army, and in the
navy.
If the Government gets any prayers, it
must pay for 'em, itself.
We pay a chaplain to pray for Champ
Clark, and the circus he presides over, in
Washington; and we pay chaplain to pray
for Vice President Marshall, and the pious
Senators over whom he rules: we pay man
to pray for General Funston, and General
Wood; and we pay man to pray for Adj
miral Benson. and Admiral Mayo.
I don't think we pay anybody to pray for
Woodrow Wilson, but am not certain.

EDITORIAL NOTES
by j. ID. WATSON

| OOh at the matter from either stand
polnt-from the view of those who claim
that the radical prohibitionists acted bull
headed and put the State to the expense that
an extra session costs, or take the statement
given out in Atlanta Saturday, in which the
prohlbltionlsts claim that their action was
to prevent the members of nine counties
from running roughshod over one hundred
and forty countles-and you must admit that
things are badly muddled
AS to the charges made by the prohibit
tlonists, that there was notorious lobbying
going on-that Speaker Burwell packed the
temperance committee on them-that he later
put the steam roller on them, In the. shape
OF the rules committee, we are inclined to-
lean to that side of the fence.
There isn't any doubt about the rules com
mittee doing for the Speaker of the House
In Georgia what old Joe Cannon used to
have done through the rules committee In
Congress rules committee is the instrll-
ment through which the Speaker is enabled
to exert the power of czar-but who elected
Burwel Speaker, and who allowed him to
get such power?
If the faction that is now denouncing Bur-
we'll, and what took place in certain rooms
in the Kimball House, had been wide awake,
could Burwell and the lobbyists who occu-
pied those rooms have gotten away with such
doings?
If the representatives of the one hundred
and forty counties, who are now telling us
that they quit the session because they did
not propose to be dominated and ruled by the
nine counties, had been on their jobs could
the nine counties have gotten the upper hand
of the one hundred and forty?
Who elected Burwell Speaker, and did not
they know when they elected him that he
would appoint rules committee, just as he
has done heretofore?
At the highest calculation the nine coun-
ties, dominating the one hundred and forty,
could have only twenty seven representatives
three to the county-while the one hun
dred and forty would have, at the very least
calculation 40 representatives
How did the nine counties, with not more

make AN ATTACK ON THE FREEDOM
OF THE PRESS!

Did our daily papers protest. No.
When President Mckinley sanctioned the
Bureau of American Republics, the public
was told that this alignment with Roman
Catholic governments was for commercial
purposes, only.
For some years, this Romanist Bureau
behaved itself sweetly, and John Barrett
the head of it, went about delivering COM
mercial speeches.
Then, all at once, this Romanist Bureau
offered it's friendly aid in the Mexican bus
mess; and Mr.. Bryan and Professor VIII
son fell right into the Pope's trap.
The Intervention of the Pope was sweetly
called, "the A. 3. G. mediation"
The country had not been educated up to
giving the thing it's right name.
But, after the Jesuits saw how calmly our
people took that first instance of papaz
intermeddzimg, they prepared for another.
This time, the Bureau of Catholic Re
publics comes forward, boldly, to act with
us against MepicO.
The Catholic Bureau wants the yoke of
oppression placed again on Mexican necks.
The amazing thing is, that President Will
son believes he can make himself popular,
and win second term, by waging war for
the Pope of Rome
That'S euactzy achat he Is about to do.
When he sent the battleships to Yucatan,
he was serving both the Steel Trust and
the Roman Catholic Church; and the prac-
teal effect of Wilson's move was to relieve
the Catholic land-kings of Carranzas taxes,
and thus deprive the Mexican Washington
of needed finances.
There IS no French King to send money,
and ships, to the aid of General Cawonga,
as there was to send cash, and troops, and
fleets to help General Washington.
Our President has no sympathy for the
mder-dog, anywhere, let alone the wretched
slaves of the Catholic land-kings of torrid
Yucatan
Hence he will blunder on. as the Jesuits
egg him and push him; and the first thing
he knows he will plunge his administration
into an abyss
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-08-19

these old enemies OF the human race are
coming back; and, in some quarters, the
Protestant prelates are about as eager for
it as the Romanists are.
The Protestants are so blind that they
cannot see what the Romanists do, namely,
that aohen they cease to be Protestant, IN
principle and practise, they sink back grad
ually into Roman catholicism.
The Government ought never to have en-
played a chaplain
It never did so until after James X Polk
became President
The chaplain business commenced under
Democrat, just as the Papal Ambassador
ship did.
1t has been the bane of the Democratic
party that it felt dependent upon the Irish
Catholic vote of New York.
But the Romanist managers have been
sly enough to prevent either political party
from withdrawing any Romanlst advantages
obtained from the other
The Popes flag rises above ours, on our
own national vessels; it rises above ours, in
the army; it rises above ours, in Hibernan
and X. of G. parades; it rises above ours,
on certain festal days of the Roman Church.
Thus, they are accustomlng our people to
the sight of Church above State-0 distiac-
tive popal doctrine.
If it is proper to run up the Church flag
above the States, during divine service, it
ought to stay there, all the time.
If the Church is "God," and the Flag is
Goods" then it should always go on top.
God is not supposed to visit the ship to
attend divine service, only.
Gud is not supposed to come on board
only when the chaplain goes into action.
when the benediction is pronounced
Cod jC nynrv1v hnrn oil tho time. and If
He needs flag, at any time, He needs it
all the time; and therefore His flag should
always be flying, and should always be above
the national colors
The Church accust0ms us to the s0z0r5ed
Government minister of the Gospel; and
when we get fully accustomed to it, the
argument will be advanced step farther:
If clergyman serving God on ship,
or in the army, is entitled to a salary ouG
of the public treasury, a clergyman serving
the State, and people, anyachere else, Is
equally entitled to a salary paid by the
State
End there rs no dnsacer to 1t.
The old roads, and the ancient goal!
Union of Church and State; the Military

buttressed by the Standing Array; the
Money Changer in the Temple. rafting the
coin, and charging his own price FOR the
use of it; press afraid to tell the truth;
terrorism silencing men who fear to lose
jobs, lose customers, lose votes, and lose pop
ularity; the younger generation losing all
faith in moral restraints, and plunging
recklessly into dissipation!
One doesn't have to be a Solomon, or a
jeremiah, to know what all this will do for
the future.
We know what these symptoms meant for
the persisted republics and empires of the
past; and we know that cause and effect are
as close kin as they ever we're.
