When governor swears to see to it that
the laws are executed he ought to take some
action, in cases Of fragrant lawlessness in the
Public School system.
Ii Governor Harris would take the matter
up with Professor Ashmore, there would be
something doing, mighty quick.
The State of Florida has a Governor who
dealt promptly and legally with situation
exactly similar.
He ordered the qoithdraavM Of public
money from those secta1Tan schools.
When is Superintendent Britain going to
take cognizance of this Roman Catholic
graft and lawlessness?
When IS Governor Harris going to do 1t?
1t is up to you, gentlemen, and the people
have their eyes on you both.
By It's action in 1906, the Augusta Board
of Education acknowledged that it had been,

The teaching Of any form Of religion, in
any school, at any time of day or night, by
the teachers of the school, makes that school
a sectarian institution.
All the lawyers and Jesuits on earth can't

that; but Professor Ashmore and Law-and-
Order Adams go right ahead violating, from
year to>year, the supreme law of Georgia
How about 1t, Professor?
HOW ABOUT TT, SAMUEL? -
Il am happy to state that the public school
funds haze been a0ithdraa0n from the Catho-
ho schools IN augusta.
In courteous letter, answering mine, Pro
fessor Lawton B. Evans informs me that the
Sacred Heart Academy and the Saint Marys
Academy used public school money, until the
spring of 1906, when the Board of Education
put q stop to it.)
Why doesn't Governor Harris condescend

ANTI-ROMANISM SPREADING.
The sca Backs Mud Listening Weather

TITLE did [ think that the Birmingham
Age-Herald (Alabama) would scoop all
the Southern dailies by making the first ref
erence to the Sacred Cow.
The holy and immaculate animal is, of
course, the Roman Catholic Church. hand
made by Roman bishops, and growing so
slowly that it did not complete it's creed until
after Lees surrender at Appomattox
The Roman bishops discovered in 1866 that
Joseph's wife, Mary, was supernaturalIy con-
ceived, and, in 1870 they made. another voyage
and discovered that the Pope was infallible.
At the time this belated discovery was
made, the Pope's two daughters were bellies
in Rome, and they kept on ringing after
Papa had been declared, virtually,-a member
of the Trinity.
According to the Age-Herazd there Is an
issue Of anti-Romanism in the Presidential
campaign, this year.
The Age-Herazd sapiently charges, that
this issue is a Republicans trick, to defeat Will
son.
So? At any rate, the Sacred Cow is now
on the carpet, as it were, and [ shouldn't won
der if the Georgia dailies woke up, one of
these days.
A Republican trick? Dear Susan, that's
bad: we mustn't permit these wicked Repub-
licans to fling fIouts at our Sacred Cow.
Let's see:
Was tia Republican trick that placed a
Jesuit and 4th degree Knight of Columbus

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-06-01

IN the City Of Savannah, there are two
schools, whose expense Of maintenance
falls upon the taxpayers of Georgia, but
whose teachers are all Catholics, selected By
Roman priests.
The pupils in these schools carry the Pope's
catechism to the school house, along with
their other textbooks, and the Catholic
teachers instruct the children in Romanism at
the scho0l-HouSe.
These Romanist schools observe all the
Popes "holy days., and are in all respects
Roman Catholic schools.
Prof Otis L. Ashmore is the scholarly
chief of the Savannah public schools and the
Professor is conclusively presumed to have
read the Constitution of the State of Georgia.
Therefore, the Professor is bound to know
that any school in which any religion is
taught, is utterly outside the scope of the pub
lie school system.
Ex-Judge Samuel B. Adams is Chairman
Of the Board of Education, and inasmuch as
he was once on our Supreme Bench, it is
reasonable to suppose that he also, may have
read the Supreme law of this State.

Why did the Bosses violate it?
