IN any unlawfulness.
Therefore, the Daughters of the Confeder
acy who invited Kelley to be the Man of
Honor on Memorial Day, have in way en-
eEorsed Keiley's gross libels on our State.
If the late Senator ingalls, of Kansas had
been invited to make the Address, few
snonths after one of his Philippics against the
South, the afront to the old Vets and to the
people generally could not have been much
more fragrant
We expected abuse from Ingalls, of Kansas
VIC didn't expect it from Kelley of Savannah.
What was natural in the Kansan is I'M
natural in the Georgian.
It is like striking ones own mother.
When the Louisiana Catholics lynched those
italian murderers, in New Orleans was the
rovocation greater than that which caused
the Cobb County Vlgilantes to execute upon
J.eo Frank death-sentence which had been
sutified by the highest courts on earth?
Is it worse to lynch negro rapist, than to
a5~assinate white Protestant lecturer?
Is the unwritten law which condemns
r,,yisher, worse than the written law which
condemns a ''heretic?''
Is the public work of a justly enraged
Protestant "mob,' more dangerous to the
country, than the secret work of the pope's
a;.th-bound criminal societies.!
LAS any Protestant ''mob" ever caused the
asery and bloodshed which the Jesuits,
Iaights of Columbus, and Ancient Hlber
j, ans caused, when they overthrow the legal
government of President Madero and most
5oully murdered him?
Could all the Protestant "mobS' on earth
ID from now till Doomsday-ever produce
iie oceanic horrors that came upon mankind,
hen the Jesuits and the pope forced upon
>.rvia the humlliating surrender of June
s914, and thus plunged Europe into one vast
nclter of carnage?
In his savage attack upon the Georgia legis-
l:ture, and upon the Governor of the State,
Bishop Kelley used language so violent that
rchbishop Blenk's paper headlined it, in
bio letters, with the mention of Georgas
"roluoon governor" and Kelley made no dis
ciaimer.
Neiley's libel was not the hasty words of all

Suppose the German subject had libelled

how would we have felt about 1t!
Would the Macon Daughters have invited

AS everyone will remember, Governor Har-
ris is Macon man.
Ellis whole career is identified with our Cen
trail City.
He, mquestionabIy, was a gallant Con-
federate soldier No doubt he is member
of the Macon Camp of Vets. If he could have
his choice, he would probably prefer to spend
Memorial Day with his old comrades in his
home-cty-some of whom he would there
greet for the last time, at the sacred ami
versary.
Would he enjoy the occasion if he had to
listen to an arrogant, scurrilously abusive
preate who had endeavored so hard to cover
the State and its Governor with odium?
Cumningly manipulated by the knights of
Columbus Through two or three Catholic
Sassiety Queens Macon Daughters chose

to split the Camp and disturb the whole

to the Daughters, explaining why persistent
law defer should not be put over them, on

fortunately allowed the influence of the
knights of Columbus to harden their hearts
against the aged heroes.
Their respectful remonstrance was treated
with contempt, and the legal, patriotic posi-
ton msrepresented in the Macon Telegraph,
the Columbus Ledger, and the Atlanta Con-
situation.
The Editors said, in their editorial columns,
that Kelley was objected to, because he is a
Catholic.
The Vets had sent a copy of their letter to
The Telegraph, and the paper refused to print
it in full
That's one way to conciliate Protestants.
But the Macon Neoos published the protest
of the Vets in full, and yet the Ledger, the
Telegraph, and the Constitution editorially
misrepresentted their position.
That's another way to concliate Protest
ants.
A third way to conciliate Protestants is,
to put the Knights of Columbus in control of
the Offices of the railroads, of the hotels, Of
the daily papers, and of all the patriotic cele-
brations
Give us plenty of 4th Degree Knights Of
Columbus -troitors, who grovel at the feet
of foreign potentate laoo-6reahers, who
boycott the legal business of their Protestant
neighbors; S2ondererS, who traduce the good
name of the State whose civic privileges they
enjoy; criminals who beat up Protestant
speakers, burn the evangelist's tent, sack the
Baptist church, run out of town the w. f.

foully assassinate the William Blacks and

shoe WORKERS Get
$4,000 BONUS

The $50 employees Of the Cape Cir
ar-leau shoe factory saw the ghost
walk twice, which is promenading con-
siderably for one day. But it did all
of that. Here is how it happened:
The International Shoe Company, OF
which the local plant is branch. gave
each employe, who had served one
year, a bonus, amounting to more than
a weeks pay. The bonuses handed out
to The $50 factory workers yesterday,
ranged from $3.50 to S55. The total
amount of money distributed in bonus
cs aggregated about $4,000.
About one-fourth of the men, it was
announced by an official of the shoe
factory, opened savings accounts at
the local banks with their Christmas
presents. One bank received more
than fifty new accounts yesterday, due
the bank officials said, to the bonuses
given by the shoe company.
The bankroll was sent to David b.
Smith. superintendent of the local fac
tory yesterday morning. The an
nouncement that it was coming was
made in The Tribune several days ago,
and the employees of the plant were
not surprised yesterday, except by the
amount. None thought the sum would
be as large as it proved to be. The
letter to Superintendent Smith, says:
St. Louis, Jan. 4.
Dear Mr.. Smith:
We are today sending you some
checks, aggregating about $4,000 in
favor of our Cape Girardeau employees.
There IS no happy, contented work
except that done with good will, gen
crosby, zeal and loyalty.
We appreciate the cooperation OF
our employees, and the checks for dis
tribution in your factory are sent with
our compliments and best wishes for
a Happy New Year.
Yours truly,
International Shoe Company,

Fred COVERT was advised by tele-

mann 1T Jefferson City. He will leave
today to go to Jefferson City, and will
report for duty Monday morning. Mr.
COVERT wired the State Auditor that
he would accept the position and be on
hand Monday morning.
1t became known about four weeks
ago that Mr.. Covert had filed an APP
plication with the State Auditor, with
whom he has been personally acquaint-
ed for a number of years. Mr. Covert
applied for bond clerk, 4 position pay
ing $500 per annum, and it is pre-
sumed he will be assigned to this
work.
Hackmann was the only Republican
elected in November. He defeated
John P. Gordon, who was running for
reelection as State Auditor. The
auditors office has several good pay
ing positions, that are considered "pie"
by the political job hunters. There
are several examiners who draw
salary of $4,000 each, bond clerk with
$500 per annum. a filing clerk and 4
stenographer at $1,000, besides several
smaller positions.
Mr. Covert has been active in poll

Butcher Sporting two years ago. Ten

Conclusion.
Il will be observed that / have
omitted many important questions
from this address. Your session is
short, and I believed it was the part
of the wisdom to mention only mat
tiers of immediate necessity, leaving
the other questions TO some future
time.
The new federal land bank will be
in operation within few months in
St. Louis, thus giving our farmers
cheap money. But it remains for us
to do three things to practically re-
build our state-rehabilitate our
finances, reform our penal institu-
tons, build reads. The other prob
lens will then practically solve them
selves. 1t will be observed by your
honorable body that 1 have laid ont
what / believe is feasible, just plan
for all Of these. They have been so
planned, however, that for one to be
effective all must be placed in opera
ton. That is to say, prison reform
is impossible without the revenue.
Road building is impossible without
revenue. The prison board can not
use convicts for road building until
our road laws are remodeled. So |
earnestly beg you to consider these
great measures as intended to co-or-
dinate and strengthen each other in
their operation.
have not mentioned subject over
which there should be political di-
vision. II the suggestions made are
good they are good for all.
In so far as the administration OF
government affects the welfare Of
the people, it is necessary that the
institutions Of the government be
made to conform to present-day con-
ditIons. Without any criticism of the
past, / submit that the conditions
which actually confront us require
OF us positive action promptly exc

MISS MARY HERBST
TO MARRY TO-DAY

In an effort to evade MS friends, AL
fred Frederick, a travelling shoe sales
man of Boston, will leave for st.
Louis early this morning in an auto
mobile, following his marriage to Miss
Mary Herbst, the daughter of Joseph
Herbst of Morgan Oak street. The
ceremony will be performed by Rev.
f. Pruente at st. Mary's Church in
the presence of the relatives of the
bride.
p Mr.. Frederick has made every effort
to conceal his marriage from several
travelling men who planned celebra-
ton. Yesterday he had Mayor Kage
go to Jackson to get the marriage
license. Frederick had told his friends
that he was leaving for St. Louis on
the afternoon train.
The wedding was announced in St.
Mary's Church last Sunday and the
friends of the bridegroom were in
formed of it. Several travelling men
who were stopping in the Cape began
to arrange a suitable program.
The ceremony will be very quiet
affair, performed in the presence of
the immediate relatives of the bride
and few friends of the family. Will
liam Herbst, brother of the bride, and
Miss Hatsie Thomas, will attend the
couple.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Frederick
called on Mayor Rage and asked him
to secure the marriage license. He Of
fered to spare no expense in order to
keep his wedding plans secret. He
asked the Mayor to hire an auto and
go to the county seat and get the Ii
cense. He said he would not go HIM
self for fear his friends might "hold
him up"
The Mayor told him he could get the
license with less expense by having it
mailed to the Cape, but the haunted
bridegroom insisted that the Mayor go
to Jackson in person, which he did
yesterday morning.
Miss Herbst is very attractive
brunette. She has been keeping house
for her father since the death of her
mother, who passed away year ago.
She is very popular among the young
girls of st. Mary's parish.
The couple will go East on their
honeymoon trip. They will make their
home in Boston.
