NO REGISTRATION CARD,
TWO NEGROES BEATEN

"See this" he queried, SHOW

noses. "Got one?"
! "No," one of the negroes re-
piled, 'and what's more, we amt
goin' to wear one Of them

Whereupon the structural
steel worker proceeded to DEM
onstrate the superiority of
trained muscle and shortly after

q fateful match for the trio. All

Among the latest efforts of tai

place for themselves all over this coun-
try, appears this handsome afternoon
dress. 1t almost goes without saying
that it is of crepe georgette-although
1t might be of wolfe or of net. But
georgette has become habit and we
have to compel ourselves to think
twice in order to consider any other
fabric for the light frocks Of midsum-

Even when another material is to be
used it borrows something from the
merits of georgette and is made up in
combination with this lovely fabric.

Not since the flood itself has human
ity faced the woe that hangs like a
pail over the earth today. The moth
ers of all nations are asking, with
streaming eyes and breaking hearts,
as they send their sons into the welter
of world-war; "To what end, o God?"
So must the mother Of him who died on
the cross have questioned, in the Bit
terness of her soul, as she looked up
ward past the dying Christ, to the
darkening skies of Calvary. And as
Mary knew, even in her suffering, that
back of that darkness shone the great
est light humanity has ever known, so
the mothers of today know that back
of their supreme sacrifice shines the
glory and joy Of world-freedom.

THE STATE ELL OF RIGHTS.

AS framed by General Toombs, Charles J.
Jenkins and the other statesmen of 1877, the
Constitution of Georgia-which is about the
same of those of other States-declares that
"all government, of right originates with the
people, Is f0unded Oh their aojU, onzy and is
instituted solely for the good Of the whole.
Public officers are the trustees and servants
Of the people, and at all times anaen061e to
then"
Then comes the enumeration of the civic
rights which must not be impaired by legisla-
lures.
Trial by jury, free speech, free press, reli-
gous liberty; security of life, liberty, and
property; sonctjty Of the home from search,
qclth0ut q aoarr0nt based on an affidavit; no
man to be put on trial unless indicted by the
grand jury, the write Of Uabea8 Corpus not
to be suspended, no involuntary servitude to
exist, and the civil authority to be superior
to the military.
Added to these, is that Right of Petition
which was established in the Old Country in
1888:
The people have the right to assemble
pcaceabIy for their common good, and to APP
ply to those vested with the powers Of gov
ernment for redress Of grievances, by petition
or remonstrance."
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-06-14

our dwelling IS made sacred from
entrance and search, unless by warrant, based
upon affidavit, describing the house. and
particularly describing the thing that the
search is to be made for.
THAT law is being shamefully violated
throughout the Union and especially in
Georgia under the asinine Fielder law, which
was used as a cloak to hide the grabbing of
our State Railroad by the l.. & NJ
The u. S. Constitution further provides,
that mo person shall be put on trial, for a
capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless
on a presentment or Indictment of grand
jury"
Yet, men are being nabbed and imprisoned
without warrant, all over the country, on
hysterical charges of treason and sedition.
The Supreme Law further provides, that
no person shall be deprived of life, liberty,
or property, without 'due process of law"
The universal construction of the words,
due process of law" is, legal arrest legal
Indictment, trial by jury, and conviction, By
the unanimous verd5ct Of tarelUe Of the de-
fendant's equals.
Yet, men are forced to leave their work to
register themselves, in order that they may be
hereafter deprived of their liberty, By Act Of
Congress-!
In its broad grant of power, to protect the
Negro, the Federal government assumed I'M
der the 18th Amendment, those powers which
have been such boon to the big corporations.
The same breadth of construction given to
the 18th Amendment, protects, not only the
Negro, but the Whites
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude

-. except as a punishment for crime"
When the Negro is Conscripted, and held
to service in the Army, why isn't it ''inyo2uo-
tary servitude?"
When white man, not accused of crime
is held against his will in the Army, what
keeps it from being involuntary servitude?"
Nothing does. It is involuntary servitude
and it is in the teeth Of the Supreme Law.
THE PEACEABLE REMEDIES.
If mass meeting were held throughout the
Union, and public sentiment expressed
against the usurpatory Act of Congress- the
men who are guilty Of voting for it will
make amends to their betrayed constituents,
By C0ting to repeal 1t.
The army and navy which can be created
by the volunteers who have enlisted, and who
are still enhstlng, are quite large enough for
any legitimate, rational purpose.
There was never any necessity for this hur-
ried Consumption Act.

soldier from Europe will ever put foot on
American dirt.

These mass meetings, if spontaneous and
general, will do far more to move the govern
ment from it's illegal policy, than test cases
brought against the new law.

State. One is pending in Missouri, and by
the time this paper reaches you, others will
probably be filed.

THE JEFFERSONIAN
Thursday, June II, 1917.

They will put themselves right with their
people, 7loaO.
But of course, if nobody demonstrates to
the Congressman that the daily papers, and
the weekly wig-wags, and the war-paint
preachers, are incorporating public opinion,
those Congressman won't know until next
Summer how much wrath is burning against
them on account of that tyrannical new law.
JAMES MADISON AND ALEXANDER HAMILTON
BOTH SUSTAIN MY POSITION
After the new Constitution of 1877 had
been completed, and was being examined by
the people, two of its makers, assisted by
Chief Justice John Jay, published series of
articles urging the States to ratify.
These articles were put in book form, and
the volume goes by the name of "The FEEDER
alist."
In looking over it, last Sunday morning,
found, to my natural qualification, that both
Hamilton and Madison had made-more than
100 years agO-the same argument that
| had made, against a standing army
IN time of peace, to-wit, that such an
abuse could never come upon us, be-
cause Congress is forbidden to make an ap~
preparation for more than two years when
the purpose is ito raise and support armies"
Section s, of the y. S. Constitution is as
plain as possible
"The Congress shall have power !. to
raise and support armies, but no 0pprOp75a-
ton Of money to that use shall be for q LONGER
term than t1O0 gears"
Could language be stronger and more
easily understood?
Madison and Hamilton both argue in The
Federalist, that this clause was meant to safe
guard the people against standing army in
time of peace, and to Keep that subject under
the pO0t9OT of the Y,on1oZo
(See The Federalist, numbers XIV,
XIV. and XXVI.)
Mr.. Hamilton's authority is so high among
those who believe in "a strong government
that [ venture to quote few lines from Num-
Der XVI:
"The legislature of the United States will
be obliged, by this provision (the 2 year
clause) at least once In every two years. to
deliberate upon the propriety of keeping
military force on foot; to come to a new resO-
luton on the point and to declare their sense
of the matter, by formal vote en- the face of
their constituents
They are not at liberty to vest In the exc
cutlve Department. permanent funds for the
support Of an agn1y."
Here we have great lawyer, a great states
man, and one of the makers of the Constitu-
ton, saying emphatically, that Congress has
no authority to make an army appropriation
Tor longer than two years, no authority to
create q permanent military fund!
Yet, the 30 year bond issue of two thousand
million dollars-if I understand the matter
at all-is meant to give the executive a per-
manent fund for the support of an army!
If the plain words of Section of the Con-
stitution do not mean what they say why
We're they put there?
If they do mean what they say, why are
the officials, 7chO soc0re to support them,
EVADING THEM!

AS originally written and ratified the Con
stitution Of the United States did not contain
a Bill of Rights, because those rights were
so generally UNDERSTOOD that it was con-
sidered unnecessary to specify them.
But, fortunately John Hancock and many
others thought that these undoubted rights
would be safer, if they were put in writing.
Consequently, they were added to the Con-
stitution by Amendments.
In brief, Congress is prohibited from MAX
ing any law about religion, or any law which
will lessen free speech, free press, or the peo-

the Knolden barber shop on North
Main street. Both men are BARRIERS,
and Clark's family live over the
shop. Mrs. Clark came down and
tried to administer Knockout blow
with head-rest taken from one of
the chairs, but the spectators held
her back. Strangely enough she was
trying to bat her husband to make
him stop. Clark got the best of the
fight and was noisy and profane. He
ordered the crowd out Of the house,
accompanying his orders with some
choice epithets when Manager James
Martin of the CIV & M. company
grabbed the gentleman and took him
by main strength out into the street
and then to the court house.
An officer was summoned and he
took Knowlden into custody. Both
men were pretty much bruised. They
have not been brought to trial yet.
The officers say that at least one of
the men had had some booze.
