Hughes.
N his telegram Of acceptance, Mr.. Hughes
said
whether native or natufalized, of whatever
race or creed, we have but country and we do
not Tor one instant tolerate any division of aIIe-

That sounds like good Americanism to me.
Has Wilson stated his position as clearly?
Wilson sent his Cabinet officers to the Dem
ocratlc National invention, and those patriots
worked early and late for just such platform
as the President desired.
Can any gentleman tell us wherein that
handmade platform differs an principle from
that of Hughes?

ness, on Trusts and Public Service Corpora

Twins?
Does either. platform propose a remedy for
the class-laWs which have concentrated wealth
and power in the hands Of the few?
But there IS q vita1 difference betaceero
Hughes and Wilson, ON TWO VITAL
POINTS.
30 far as my observation goes, the papers
have not taken notice Of these two vital diff
ferences in the two candidates.
~ Hughes has not anywhere committed
himself to the principle Of compulsory mill
tary service!
President Wilson has done So He did it
when he officially signed the Hay Chamber
lain law in June 1916.
Section 70 of the new law provides for the
d90ft5ng of men into the Army, whenever
volunteering does not supply enough soldiers.
90 President Wilson telegraphed plank
for the Democratic platform in which he
condemns all such patriotic societies as the
Junior Order of American Mechanics, the
Patriotic Sons of America, the Knights Of
Luther, the Guardians Of Liberty, and The
Great Secret Society.
Yet, Mr.. Wilson knows as well as [ do that
By the very zaa0 Of their membership, the
Jesuits, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the
Knights of Columbus, and the German Cen
trail Verein ore first allegiance to the Italian
pope.
Wilson approves the secret orders whose
allegiance to this country Is seeoadoay; and
be keeps one of these men Of divided allie
glance as his confidential secretary.
On the other hand, Hughes does not con-
denim Our patriotic societies, and he does con-
denim "division Of allegiance"

Notes ON Affairs I'm Georgia.

HON. JOHN D. WALKER is circularizing
the State, asking the school teachers to
contribute $500 toward the reelection of
President Wilson, upon the ground that Will
son was cnce a Georgia school-teacher
Where and when, Brother John?
It has been my understanding that Wood
rows father was school-teacher from the
North, and that he taught in Virginia and
Georgia. Never heard Of Woodrow having a
school in this State. He tried to be lawyer,
in Atlanta, but failed at it, and returned
North, after having married a Georgia lady.
This Georgia wife, the mother of Wilson's
grown daughters, died under sad circum-
stances, couple of years ago, and was buried
at Rome where, according to the following
letter, her grave has not been marked:
Rome, Ga, October IS, 1916.
Dear Sir I am writing you for little infor-
nation in regard to letting the people TO Georgia
know that the grave of the late Mrs Woodrow
Wilson has never had marker or anything, to
show where she buried. The Woman's Club
Of Rome and the Eastern Star have kept it cared
for this year. Seems to me that the only first
lady of the land, from Georgia, the garden spot
of the South, should have marker or something
to show that it was proud OF having one lady that
could grace the White House
Trusting that you will give this notice to the
State that they will take immediate steps to
have marker of some kind placed at this grave,
L am, Yours very truly,
Brother John D. Walker will 10 doubt be
interested in the above
Andrew Carnegie created a pension fund
for the benefit of aged, WORKOUT, and needy
school-teachers.
One of the applicants for a pension from
that fund, was Woodrow Wilson. He did not
get it, but the fault wasn't his.
Brother John d. Walker should have woven
this fact into the touching appeal which he
makes to the school-teachers of Georgia.
DR. Alex E. Reese didn't quite beat M. L.
Britain, our jauntv and self-satisfed State
Superintendent of schools, but he knocked all
the leyity out Of Martin Luther B. on the
subject of those Catholic schools in Savan-
nah.
For six years The Jeffersonian has per-
sistently aired the fact that the Savannah
Board of Education had been persuaded by
the Catholic bishop to violate. the highest law,
in the interest of the Pope's sectarian schools
For six years, the jaunty, seIf-confdent
Martin Luther Britain went on his way. con-
temptuouslv disregarding my exposure Of the
illegal conduct of himself and the Savannah
Board.
I cited the official history Of Savannah, Civ
ing the pages which relate the story of how
the Roman bishop had gone before the Board
demanding State-aid for his sectarian schools,
and how the Board, at first, told him the law
wouldn't allow it.
I cited the page on which the narrative dis
closed the final surrender of the Board and
the lawless triumph of the Catholic bishop.
The Jefersonian published these facts more
than two years ago, and called the attention

BIG CHICKEN SHOW AT FAIR

One of the chief points of interest
at the Fair, and one which is being
visited and admired by large num-
Der, is the poultry show, which is
without doubt the best ever had in
this section OF the Ssate. One is
rather surprised at the very large
number of entries, owing to the sea-
son Of the year, when all the old
birds are in the mOult and do not
show their full and true plumage.
The exhibit of young stock, howev-
er. makes up for the shortage in the
adult bird class, and there are some
splendid ones to be seen. The boys
and the girls clubs have excellent ex-
hibits, showing that the work of Mrs.
Fash and Professor Robbins has not
been without avail. Persons visiting
the Fair should not fail to take in
this most interesting and instructive
part of the big show.

Eliminating the third-party fea-

the Democratic party must face some
hard facts this year, as well as over
