Mahomet founded his religion at about the
same time that Popery got on its first legs;
and the Mohammedan adults, nearly as nu-
merous as the Papists, are much more truly
Christian.
Mahomet forbade the making of images,
and the bowling down to them, just as the Ten
Commandments do; and the Mohammedans
OF today are true to the Commandment and
therefore despise the Papists who kneel in
worship to idols made Of stocks and stones.
Two of the four great religions of the
present time, as you can thus see, are about
the same in age, while the other two are i'm
mensely older; and these two oldest religions
Buddhism and Confucianism-embrac
nearly half of the human race.
Christianity itself is minority religion
and it is not gaining upon Buddhism and
Confucianism, although it has made prodi-
giously expensive efforts to do so, for more
than 100 years
Roman Catholics are in a minority, evcn
among Christians.
So much for age and numbers now let us
see what Lord Macaulay really did think Of
the Roman church, it's creed, and it's record.
a. Macaulay classes, as monstrous, the
doctrine of transubstantiation, and expresses
his wonder that sane people can believe in
such "absurdity;"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-05-24

Consult any constitutional lawyer, and he
will tell you that the foregoing outline gives
you substantially the truth about the origin
and character of our Federal Government,
This being undeniable, you can readily see
what a tremendous usurpation has been &C
complished, when the Federal Union takes
from the people enormous sums of money,
to lend to foreign nations.
Why didn't the Democratic party produce
A Man, who would stand up in Congress,
and fight this tremendous usurpation?
Because President Wilson calls himself
Democrat, and his own so-called Democrats
cannot fight their Chief
Why didn't the Republican party produce
men enough to combat the usurpation?
Because the Republican party believes in
centralized Federal Government which usurps
power, and tramples upon the States and the
people.
Democracy, the name, hypnotizes the Dem
ocrats; while autocracy, the thing, charms the
Republicans.
It's as it used to be with Prohibition, in
Kansas the Dry's liked the situation, because
they had the law; and the VETS liked it, be
cause they had the liquor.
We Democrats have the name, all right,
but the Republicans have sure got the thing.
When Daniel Webster successfully opposed
the CONSUMPTION law of 1914, he illustrated
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-05-24

n round numbers, the amount Of money that
Uncle Sam Wilson has loaned to foreign
nations, is fee thousand millions Of dollars.
The North American States which de-
clared themselves independent sovereigns, on
July 4 1776-and which were acknowledged
to be such by Great Britain, after the sur
render Of CORVALLIS at Yorktown-after-
wards met in convention, by State delegations,
and created a Federal Government, for specj-
fed purposes
These purposes were such as the States
could not we'll deal with, separately, without
conflicting laws, varying systems, and conse-
quent confusion.
The States desired a Federal agency. or
government. for the establishment of unif0r-
mo1ty IN our relations with foreign powers,
uniformity in the currency SYSTEM the postal
SYSTEM the commercial system, the natural
ization of foreigners, the enactment of laws
relating to commerce, and the raising of
armies to repe1 in9osion suppress in8u7Yec-
tion, or enforce TIKI 1oaos Of the Union.
To enable the newly created Federal agency,
or government, to carry cut the foregoing
purposes-for which the sovereign States had
voluntarily created 1.-THE Federal Union
was empowered to levy taxes directly upon
the people, instead of calling upon the States
for what was needed.
Realizing that these taxes would be INSULT

lied the Federal Union to borrow money.

(2) He speaks with contempt of the
Papal decree which condemned Calico, and
which dogmatically asserted that the sun goes
round the e01th;
3D. He says that just such performances
as those of popery, have caused him to cease
to wonder at the vag0rieS Of super8tition:"
He cites the fake "miracIe cures" which
the priests are constantly making;
a. He speaks of how the human intellect
has four times risen in Western Europe
against the yoke Of Popery; and how Super
stition has cruelty suppressed intellectual
freedom and progress t2oice, and nearly sup
pressed it, twice
He instances the horrible Albigensian Cru
sade in which Pope Innocent III. bIotted out,
in the blood of indiscriminate slaughter, the
literature and civilization Of Southern France.
Macaulay shows how the Pope created the
hellish Inquisition, for the purpose of rivet-
ing the chains of papal slavery.
This was Rome's first suppression of men
tai independence and material progress.
The second, he mentions, was the persecu-
ton Of the Emperors of Germany by the
Popes. Macaulay says:

complished of the long line of German Caesars
had in vain exhausted all the resources Of

Quotations from Macalay the Favore Historian of the Papfs

ROMANISTS are extremely fond of re-
= printing what Lord Macaulay said about
the perfection of their organization, and the
long life of their Papacy.
Their Papacy began in the year Of our
Lord Cos, when Bishop Boniface prevailed
upon the Emperor of the Roman Empire of
the East to grant him the title of Universal
Bishop.
This fact is historic, and can be proved by
at least as much evidence as can be brought
TO prove that Constantine the Great became
Christian convert.
Before the Roman Papacy began it's course,
Buddhism had existed in a well-organized
state for hundreds of years, and it does not
nov show any signs of decay,
No BUDDHIST Luther has ever arisen, to ac-
puse it Of terrible abuses, and to tear it in
two, with a Reformation.
The same statement can be made of Con
fucianism.
Each of these religions has greater num-
Der of votaries, than Popery.
Both of these so-called Pagan religions
produced glorious literature, and the most
elevated morality.
Popery suppressed, for centuries, the cIas-
sic literature of Greece, and Rome, and re-
placed it by ridiculous lot of stuff about the
Virgin, the Saints, the Devil, and miracles"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-05-24

his unansWerable argument by asking his
brother Senators, whether the constitutional
authority to borrow money could be distorted
by the Government into a tyrannical power
to force a loan from the people.
He argued that the Federal Government
had no more legal right to force the citizen
into the Army, than it had to force hun to
lend his money to the Government.
Can you answer the argument?
Can anybody do so!
Let one Of our War-whoop dailies try it
Mr.. Webster's speech was made to the Sen
ate on December 8, 1914. The weight of his
reasoning was so great, that it killed the bill
for CONSUMPTION.
At that time, the country was in distress,
because the War with England had lasted two
years and the Eastern States had refused to
contribute troops.
Less than four months before Webster
made his speech against CONSUMPTION, the
British had scattered our forces at Bladens-
burg, had looted and burned public buildings
of Washington City, and had chased Presi-
dent Madison into the Virginia bacEwoods.
Yet, Congress refused conscription even
under those trying circumstances. In other
words, Congress refused to become an 0di0uS,
tyr0nnicoJ UsURPER.

II feel that | cannot too strongly

the fact that IL is the play itself and
the actors that are Of special interest
10 the public, and not those IN otii-

especially you keep before you the
necessity of fostering, protecting and
advancing the game, 50 thst when

and six captains OF varsity teams.
Chief credit for the success Of un-

is due 70 the efficient and helpful work
OF Colonel Heintzelman, who instruct

ing held in Princeton last spring.
