IF Catholic Mayor is denounced as Judas
1scariot for wanting orphans treated at least
as we'll as pigs, you will be prepared to hear
Archbishop Benk roar, as follows, in his
Morning Star:
INFAMY.
The Tom Watson-Veazey bill, calling for the
inspection of Catholic converts passed the Geor-
gia Senate last week by a vote of 80 to 8. The
diSgraceful measure has already passed the House
of Representatives.
Three illiterate and benighted backwoodsmen
Pickett of the Eleventh; Boykn, Of the Seven
teenth and McCrory of the Thirteenth-openly
advocated the passage of the bill on the floor of
the Senate, and there were twenty-seven other
called Senator's either as uneducated and ignor-

IN the passage Of q bill which reeks of the days
when men and women were beheaded in England
for protesting Catholic faith and witches were
burned in Salem for riding through the air on
broomsticks at night. Such is the enlightenment
and education of Georgia in this twentieth cen
fury. Verify, the Grass ignorance and lack of
education which the Georgia Legislature has pre-

Bishop Kelley, of Savannah, denounced the
legislature as body Of fools, and declared
that he would not think Of allowing the law
to be enforced in his diocese, except upon his
own conditions.
Writing to Cardinal Gibbons organ, The
Baltimore Cath0zic, this insolent prelate says:
POISONED SOURCES OF INFORMATION.
These illiterate and intoerant men take their
view of the Catholic Church and Catholic Sisters
and converts from named Watson, who of
course does not believe a word of the filthy
charges made against converts for he sent his
own daughter to a Catholic convent in Washing
ton, Ga, but who is trying to establish himself
a sort of Warwick in Georgia political life. One
of the strangest things connected with this in
famous and ignorant attack on these institutions
is the almost universal silence of the press in
Georgia. Not paper in Atlanta, Savannah
Macon condemned this intolerant bigoted and
