IN MEMORIAM,

In remembrance of Mrs Mary A. Roop. Fow--
besburg, who died March Is.
The one that was dearest and rarest,
Is the one that killed by the frost,
The love that purest and fairest.
Is the that was lost.
Mother was tired and weary,
Weary with aches and pains,
Lay by the needle and rocker,
She will not need them again.
Into sweet rest she has entered.
No more to suffer weep,
After te's ninety three long years.
Mother has fallen asleep.
There are some who still will linger
To the spot where you are laid,
Who will come with sorrowing hearts
To the grave that God has made.

When | am all alone;

From those we loved so dear,
But God who doeth all things well,
Will some day make it clear.
But with me you could no longer stay,
For on SO suddenly you were called away,
Rest on dear husband thy labor is over,
And thy willing hands Will toll no more.
They ask me do miss him,
Yes it fills my heart with pain;
But his spirit soItly Whispers,
Weep not IN heaven Will meet again.
Things that seem mysterious now
Some day | will understand.
Why my dear husband called SO sudden
To dwell in the Heavenly land.

And now he is waiting to welcome us home,
With the blessings of heaven to share.

freedom neoer dreeo another easy breath in
all that classic land.
The Republic of Rome had no standing
army, until the lust of Conquest led the Arts
tocracy into a Colonial policy, similar to that
q0hich qce haze entered upon. The Senatorial
families exploited the distant colonies Of
Rome, in the same way our corporations ex-
plot the Philippines, San Domingo and
Central America.
The long war in Gaul enabled Caesar to
create standing army of seasoned veterans;
and when the Government at last woke up to
the danger, and ordered Caesar to disarm and
disband his troops, he refused.
That was the real Rubicon, and when he
made this refusal, he doomed the democratic
institutions of his country.
The Empire, based on the Army was the
logical inevitable result.
Military Preparedness attained such per-
lection in Rome, that the soldiers changed
one emperor for another, almost as fast as
figures are changed at a magic-lantern show
Finally, the Standing Army put up the
crown for sale, and it was bought by rich
old Senator, for not much more than John D.
Rockefeller's annual income.
Rotten to the core, the military despotism
Of Rome was smashed by the democratic tribes
of the North of Europe; and, upon it's ruins,
the Tuetonic peoples built the beginnings of
modern kingdoms.

State Inspection of All Institutions Where Citizens Are Held in
Confinement
Confinement

The States have adopted legislation which
requires the inspection of cattle, of school
children, of convict camps, of penitentiaries,
of sanitariums, of asylums, and of the schools,
themselves.
In every State, the mills and shops where
people work are subject to legal inspection;
and, in most States, certain requirements are
made as to the mill itself
Thus the State endeavors to keep track of
the citizen, with a view to protecting him from
his own derelictions, and from those of
Others
Is it not strange that the vigilance of the
State-Argus-eyed and unsleeping-fails to
see anything dangerous in church-system,
which forces men to obey VOWS of lifelong
confinement, which those men were persuaded
to take a0hen they a0ere boys?
Is it not amazing that no effort should be
made by the State to learn whether all of the
fifty thousand women, jailed by the priests,
are still of the same mind as they were when
they took those unnatural girl-hood VOWS?
The jailers of the i'm prisoned boys and
men say that the prisoners are acquiescent
and happy,
What do the prisoners say?
They are not allowed to have any say: the
State takes the word of the interested jailers.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-01-25

THE relations of the State and the citizen
are reciprocal: the citizen must give loyal
allegiance to the State, and the State must
give effective protection to the citizen.
Allegiance to the State involves the pay
ment of taxes; the maintenance of the public
roads; the support of the law, when the
Sheriff needs posse; service upon juries;
and service in the army, when the country is
endangered.
Protection to the citizen involves the
sanctity of his home; his right to be undis-
turbed in his religious worship; the free
choice of occupation; his control of his pri-
ate property; his parental authority over
his minor children; and his enjoyment of
personal liberty.
The State provides how the citizen may
apply to the courts for protection and redress;
and these provisions are sufficient for almost
every case-but they are human, and there
fore imperfect.
There are some cases where the legal
remedy falls short of the necessary relief;
and, for such exceptional cases, exceptional
laws must be made.
The various Health laws, Pure food laws,
Cattle Inspection laws Anti Narcotic Drug
laws, and Compulsory Vaccination laws, are
examples of exceptional statutes.

Historical Facts Bearing Upon Military Preparedness"

f we do not take lessons from experience,
we are no wiser at sixty than at twenty
one.
Give and learn" says the adage; which
means that we learn by experience.
What IS experience, if it is not our knowl-
edge Of what we have gone through?
AS with individuals, so with nations: Give
and learn:'' the steps should be guided by the
lamp of experience as Patrick Henry said.
Now, then, let's get to our mutton

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-01-25

The first Standing Army of modern times
was that of Frances Grand Monarch, /" Louis
XIV; and, with this military preparedness,
he became the terror of other kings. He ar
rogated God-ship to himself, just as the
Hohenzollern egomaniac does.
All the rest of Europe had to unite. in
self-defense, against the despotic war-lord,
Louis XIV, in the same way that the rest of
Europe now unltes against the German
Kaiser.
In that coalition against the French despot,
England led the way as England now leads
the coalition against William Hohenzollern.
The Battles of Blenheim, Oudenarde,
Families, and Malplaquet-and Marl-
oorough's fame-belong to that era, when
small States combined to resist the tyranny
of the big one.
After Louis XIV. had been humbled, and
his military machine sent to the scrap-heap,
the Hohenzollerns took up the military ma
MIA.

Is THAT RIGHT!


The lusty bachelors who have locked those
$4,000 young women in the clustered con-
vents-not allowing any men except their I'M
married selves to have access to those full
sexed females brazenly assure mankind that
their lady prisoners enjoy lifelong confne-
ment in gloomy dungeons.
What do the imprisoned a00noe11 sag?
They are not permitted to have any say: the
obliging State takes the word of the unmar-
ried men who are humanity interested in
excepting" those women.
Is IT RIGHT?
Juvenile Courts, throughout the Republic,
are taking illegal custody Of boys and girls,
and even young men and women and are
illegally sentencing those citizens to confne-
ment and labor in mills and work shops Of
the Roman Catholic church.
Is>IT RIGHT?
No warrants are sworn out; no crime is
alleged no Indictment is found; no trial is
had.
Yet, from Georgia toTexas, from Michigan
to Florida, and from Massachusetts, to Cali
fornia, the Juvenile Courts are busy, supply
ing the Romanist sweat-shops with Protestant
slaves.
