book to be obscene by extracts. Saint Paul
himself describes the unnatural sexual rela-
ton of man with man and woman with wo-
man. 10 do what? To warn people
against it.
No Book Can Be Judged by Extracts
Now we will ask the court. In view of de-
clsions that have been made since this court
sat IN the first case against the defendant
two years ago, that no book can be judged by
extracts from it, but that the book itself must
speak for itself and establish a character for
itself. Another point made against the de-
PENDANT is that he described certain emblem
Of ecclesiastical wear, and symbolic garment
worn by priests. The defendants whole pur-
pose is to prove that Roman Catholicism has
the idea that it comes from Biblical Chris
tianity, from the primitive church, when it
is from Paganism. The defendant, in speak
ing of that, and in proof of that gave pic
ture that he had found which is in other
books, of priest wearing certain garment,
and the defendant says that priests do not
know that that garment is Pagan garment
and relates to false worship and typifies the
reproduction of the human race by the cranaD
connection between the man and the woman,
taking it of Pagans. In the name of COM
mon sense how could it excite boys pas
sion, or girls, or mans to tell him other
men with red cheeks and red lips, and red
features, so far as that is concerned, to be out
of the order of nature, but men of the same
form and fashion and feeling as you and l.,
but men above the carnal feeling, how could
it harm any man for this defendant to say,
beware of that kind of thing, because of all
manner of weaknesses and propensities of the
carnal man.
Again, when it is stated that Scertain gar
ment which they wear and which is pictured
in the magazine is false emblem, which in
the olden times symboized the union of the
sex to the reproduction of the human race
how in the world could that excite the pas
sion of your boy and lead him astray?
Looking at that picture, giving him the
history of it, seeing the point made on it,
laugh at the Catholic priest for his ignorance
in wearing it, but it could not burden his
memory or cause an indecent influence in the

Watson Friday afternoon

"May it please your honor and gentlemen
Of the jury, as the attorney for the govern
ment has taken up SO much time In outlining
what he expects to prove, and commenting
upon his contentious. it is nothing but fair
that the defendant should outline to you his
defense; his Justification; his motive and
purpose and the probable consequence OF his
acts.
The defendant will undertake to establish
to YOUR complete satisfaction that he was con-
nected with The Jeffersonian Publishing
Company, chartered corporation, which
was empowered by the laws Of the state OF
Georgia to publish magazines, papers, books,
pamphlets, etc.; a general publishing busl~
ness; that in the course Of this publishing
business The Jeffersonian Publishing Com
pany put forth magazines and books, some
historical. some biological, some controversial,
and on various subjects, some OF them ike the
subject mentioned by our fellow cltlzen here,
Mr.. Little, on foreign opinion and more or
less a passion, and antagonistic toward the
publishing company on the part OF those WHO
had a different opinion.
The defendant will undertake to show that
the delivery Of articles for which he has been
indicted. so far as the magazines are con-
cerned. show on their face that they were IN
tended to construct a book, chapter alter
chapter-was solely for the purpose stated TO
make book. It was a book in the making;
month by month, year after year, to become
a contribution to Protestant literature.
It was dealing with those great questions
mon which our ancestors differed from the
ruling powers in the old world, and when
caused them to break loose the ties OF nome
and pecuniary interests in the old world, and
to brave the dangers of the great wide ocean,
in the little wooden tubs that we're then the
ships in which people crossed the seas. Not
ONLY that, but to brave the hardshlps and the
dangers of this wilderness, where the wild
man and the wild beast were to be conquered
and the forces of nature were to be subJu-
gated to the peculiar uses OF man.
Democratic or Monarchal
This defendant, in the course OF the pre-
paration of these articles. took up the great
points of object from the protestant and
democratic point of view against this mon
archial and hierarchial system of church
politics. We will show you gentlemen. by
the Governments own evidence, that one Of
these chapters which is described as being so
unspeakably vile, SO utterly corrupt as to de-
prave public MORALS one chapter which
speaks against unmarried priesthood, thing
which was never heard of until thousand
years after our Saviour died FOR our saliva
ton. In that chapter the defendant, said,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-12-02

and we will repeat, that the marital relations
for the full sexed man and the full seXed wo-
man is the only proper relation contemplated
In the old testament and IN the new, that
making the genial woman unite in the holy
bonds of wedlock to perpetuate the human
race, and calling attention to the fact that
under the old law, when the monastic life was
first established and when man began to try
to live without taking wife, and without hav
ing improper relations with the other sex,
that they had to starve themselves, they had
to bleed themselves, that they had to reduce
their diet, that they had to live on the
simplest vegetables, that they had to avoid
meats and wine-and anything that makes
good red flesh and good red blood, and the
defendant said that it was unnatural pre-
senting the picture of half dozen or more
typical unmarried priests, and says Look at
them here are men whose faces are red,
whose eyes, whose lips, whose features, whose
necks, whose bodies, show that they live
richly on red meats and red wines, and is it
not unnatural for these men to say that they
never are tempted of evil and IS it not dan
gerous thing-a serious thing-for such
system to get itself fastened upon our home
land!"

a word which leaves me to fear that he has

Mr. Watson: We submit the law is not so
narrow as all that. 1t is not to be assumed
