tinguished, and honored priests to whom the eter-
nal hypocrisy in which they obliged to live,
lying to their own consciences and mystifying the
public and the faithful, is repugnant. They pre-
fer the light to darkness and weakness to
hypocrisy.
1t is exceedingly unworthy to have wife with
out the responsibilities of being a husband and
children without the responsibility of fatherhood.
This, unfortunately, is just what clerical celibacy
succeeds in doing for the poor priests To many
of them it is disagreeable, and the advice of St.
Paul Chat they live in celbacy) is not advisable,
because it causes them either to go contrary to
nature or have spurious offspring.
Because of all this, the writer of these lines,
who also is a priest thinks that ecclesiastical
celibacy is the cause of deep-seated evils to o.
ciety and to the church itseIf-C. p B.. in Rua,

AS commentary the above, one of
Brazil missionaries writes
The family living nearest is that of a priest
who visits there occasionally, always coming and
going by the night trains. He apparently be-
slows upon them the affection of husband and
father. Of course they not married. Our
servant recently had the chance to- converse with
him and improved the opportunity to demonstrate
with him for that way of living. He replied that
the bishop could do nothing with him, as he was
the father of three children himself. Is it any
wonder that the marriage in this country is
SO often considered a worthless superfuity?

Masonic Magazine 'Light" ON
the Watson Case.

ON. TOM WATSON, Editor of The Jefferso-
MAN, Georgia, has been acquitted after five
years of persecution a charge of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails, arising out Of
his publication of the Latin text of St. Alphonsus
de Liquors. work morals, used as text book
Tor Roman Catholic priests in the confessional.
Aside from Watson's picturesque personality
and his charge that his prosecution was in reality
a religious persecution, the singularity of this
case brought to the fore the question of press
censorship in way that threatened to establish
the Postmaster General of the United States as
Federal Censor of books and papers of all kinds,
had Watson been convicted.
The work from which Watson quoted is I'M
doubtedly full of suggestive and obscene illusions.
But it is religious text book for the guidance
OF priests in asking questions of penitents in the
confessional, and, moreover, Watson published
only the Latin text, and experts had to be i'm
ported to translate the difficult medieval dialect
used by Liguor before judge, jury or lawyers
could understand it.
Watson's remarks concerning it's nature were
criticism of certain religious practices connected
with the confessional and the attempt to convict
him he declared to be for the purpose of shutting
his mouth.
Involved in the case as reference precedent and
witness was Rev. P. A. Seguin, for 13 years Ro-
man priest, but not now affiliated with the church.
Mr.. Seguin publishes and sends through the mail
book called eye Opener containing the Latin
version of extracts from Liguor1 together with
trasation. This he copyrighted years ago.
For selling, giving away or circulating this
book an anti-Catholic lecturer, F. B. Jordan,
prosecuted in Wisconsin and in one case con-
victed on the same charge Watson, the court
holding that the matter Obscsene and that
the only question for the jury to decide it's
obscenity. It's or the motives prompting
the defendant could not be considered. The Wis
cOnsin precedent not followed in Watson's
case, however, that the jury limited to
consideration as to whether the defendant was
guilty of publishing obscene matter.
Thus ends one of the most spectacular attempts
to suppress criticism of religion and establish
press censorship through courts and the Post
Office Department.

"Why Was Frank Lynched ?''
CONTINUED FROM PAGE FIVE. J

the details printed in the dailies about the
maltreatment of Eveline Thaw by Stanford
White, or the disease from which Beattie
suffered
In both Of these cases, prosecutions ensued
in the Federal Courts, but the sensible Judges
threw out the indictments, just as Judge Fos-
ter quashed the Indictment in my case.
AS to the hasty threat to remove me from
my State, the Federal and State courts, both,
have passed upon the question since, and de-
clded that the position [ took was sound l0aO-
as it has been held in all the decisions since
Magma Cart0, and as the y. S. Constitution
guarantees that it shall ever be!
Have we reached a pass where it is unlaw-
full for the humbest citizen to lay his hand
upon the horns of the altar our Fathers built,
and claim its protection?
The JeferSOn5O1o made no money out OF
the Frank case: made none!
The Jefersonian never opened it's mouth
in the Frank case, until after the Supreme
Court had affirmed the conviction, and the
Atlanta Journal had then declared editoriazly
that the execution Of the sentence Of the courts
aUOutd be judicial MURDER"
That's what started The Jeffersonian.
And the provocations which kept our paper
in the fight were, the villanous libels circu-
lated throughout the Union, blackening the
name of the State, plcturlng us as lot OF
hyenas, and cartoonlng us as lynchers of q
poor innocent "6oy," because he was a Jew.
They never once referred to the well-known
case in Southwest Georgia, where Dr. Ryder
killed a young lady, and where the lawyers
and the Judges delayed the case, and carried
it over, from term to term, until at last, when
Judge John c.. Hart granted another con-
tinuance, the Infatuated people rose IN un-
comfortable wrath, took the prisoner from
2 the Sheriff, and hanged him, near Waverly
Hall.
DR.. Ryder was a native Georgian, GENTLE
man by birth, a man of intelligence and edu-
cation, and of stainless reputation, so far as
ever [ heard. But he lost his head in a fit Of
jealous rage, and slew the woman he loved.
The delays of the courts exasperated the
people to a pitch Of madness, and they took
M zaa0 into their 0acn hands. Is Georgia the
only State where that sometimes happens?

such a step was not good for the

officials examined the radishes, and,
finding them sound and fit for

the dealers loaded the
whole shipment on a garbage scow

The spectators deliberately chose
to waste these radishes rather than
to sell them at a slightly reduced
figure and thereby endaneer the
high market price of the product.
