FEW OF SLEEPERS
SEEK LODGING AT
THE STATION HERE

Improved industrial conditions in
this community are reflected in the
number of sleepers at the police
station.
In spite OF the Intense cold that
has prevailed during the last few
days not more than five homeless ones
have applied for shelter in any one
night, according to Desk Sergeant
Walter Flanagan. Two years ago as
high as from fifty to sixty sleepers
applied for shelter whenever below
zero weather prevailed.

today sold bread for nine cents loaf,
but other bakers were OF the opinion
that this price would not last long In
asmueh as the increased labor cost
will have the effect to place the retail
price OF this shops goods at 10 cents.
No Increase for Others.
While the reduction OF the 10-cent
loaf was not made. the 15-eent loaf
was not increased. Under the pres
ent arrangement a 16-ounce loaf sells
for 10 cents and 24-ounce loaf sells
for Is cents The bread on the mar
ket today was up to the government
standards and bakers claimed it TO be
wholesome. with the lucent size the
best to buy both from the standpoint
of taste and Of economy.

What then is the conclusion of the whole
matter?
1t is thls-as layman sees it:
Use our fleet to enforce our neutral rights
at sea: sink every German war-vessel that
shows It's head; seize German aliens as Sc
curlty OF Americans; redouble the defenses
or our coasts; train the volunteer army to
efficiency, which can always be done in a few
months; if 100000 volunteers are not enouoh.
invite more to the colcrs, and then qyW come!
10 defend our country, we will all serve,
1l020, and as long as life lasts and the neces
sity exists.
God! Ten million men will spring to arms,
the moment German invasion threatens our
country!
But layman believes, that one million
Americans, fighting for american liberty, ON
HOME SOIL, will do more against foreign foes,
mar F0e million men, forced like Seyfs to fght
i3o Europe
When we fight for home, at home, we are
unconqueIable
All Europe combined couldn't cross the
ocean and whip us!
But we must remember that the Germans
are brave, are In close touch with their homes,
are fighting with their backs to the wall are
making the most Of the ground they picked
out and fortified; and that one million Ger
mans, thus situated, and commanded by the
best officers on earth, are q match for three
or four million r0a0 Americe3o c0nSc15ptS.
Wasting our men and munitions against
these far-away German Gibraltars, with what
will we defend our enormous length Of line,
If Japan should strike?
Would to Heaven the counsels of sober
common sense could be heard in Washington!
To fill our jails with alleged criminals up-
der |ee0 z0ooS, rash2y made WITHOUT CONSULT
ING THE PEOPLE; or to fill the swamps with
frightened fugitives, hunted by officers; or
to threaten with ruin those citizens who hon
estly believe the new laws to be unconstitu-
tional, and who prepare legally to test that
question in the United States Courts would
be ugly features of general situation which,
If unwisely dealt with, might RAPIDLY develop
national chaos
Let Congress pass the Mason resolution end
SAGE the country!

s'The 4ah Degree Oath OF The
knights Of CoggaEgabus.'

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of foreign power, have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our Government, and spies in our camp
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
This question of Popery is the most impor-
tant question now facing the people of
America.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents.

THE JEFFERSONIAN
is ID Wise TO Undermine the
Foundations OF Protestant
Government?
Government. :?

| 11INE never was country, ruled Dy the
Roman Catholic church, that separated
church from State, established common
Schools permitted free speech, tolerated free
dom of worship, allowed unlicensed printing,
or INDUCED the people in the matter of choos-
ing their own books, and making their own
laws
The invincible ignorance Of the average
Protestant hierarch, of today, prevents him
from learning, that our forefathers adopted
Bills CT Rights for the purpose Of keeping
their posterlty informed, as to those basic
principles achjch divide Py0teStanttS,n from
F0pery and royal absoJutiSm.
In the Supreme Law of the Union, our fore
fathers placed the Protestant principle of
complete separation between church and
State
Thc popish principle IS, UNION Of chuch
and State.
The Supreme Law Of every State is in ac-
cord with the Constitution of the United
States; and it is forbidden to the legislature
to make any appropriation of State funds for
church purposes.
That principle was rea0irmed by the wise3t
law makers Of Georgia in 1877; and each
member Of the present legislature is under
oath to be faithful to it.
Bat the Gambler influence has been at work,
for years. to break down that Protestant prin-
ciple
Thanks to the Gambler influence, the State
has virtually lest its most valuable asset; and
the Louisville & Nashville holds cur State
road, for so years, Wnder an 05SNrd lcdso
qrh<ch yields the State ob0ut t2c0 per- cent
interest OH the rQ1ee OF the property.
FIF1T YEARS. Wen all be dead, before
this brilliant two per cent Gambler Harris
Burwell lease expires.
Asa Gambler, being Director in the lessee
combine, and a controlling factor in making
the 50-year lease, enjoyed the unusual 0dc0H-
t0ge Of being Oh both sides of the fence.
This same pernicous Gambler influence has
been doing its utmost to 6re0h d0acn the Prot
eStant principle, already mentioned. Warren
Gambler has gone up and down the land, using
the pulpit for political propaganda. Every
Methodist preacher whom the Bossy Bishop
could browbeat has done the same thing.
They have joined hands with the Romani3t
priests, IN 0dc0c0tjng religious instruction IN
the common schools, well knowing that such
thing would logically lead to division of
the school funds between the churches
The Romanists demanded this in Macon,
Augusta, and Savannah, many years ago, and
got 1t.
Martin Luther Britain, our State Supelin-
tendent, connived at this violation Of law,
and nothing but the persistent efforts of The
Jeffersonian finally broke it up-if, indeed,
Benz. Kelley and Sam Adams are not still
whipping the devil around the stump in Sa-
Vannah.
The thin edge of the wedge presents itself
IN Warren Gamblers noble struggles to ex-
empt from taxation the Coca-Coca Million
Dollars, which Asa set aside for religious edu-
cation, as soothing sa1ce to sore c0n8cience8.
MANY a Methodist conscience is sore about
the untaxed omnipotence of the "deeterious"

reached at meeting of the Board

this departure from usual custom is
to bring school to a clpse earlier in
the spring.
BY holding school Saturdays and
having only one week Of vacation at
Christmas, school will lft out more
than a month earlier than II would
If the five day a week school is ad-
hered to. This will be a big thing
for those pupils who are old enough
to help on the farms, and i'd will be
OF some advantage to, teachers and
drivers OF the routes who are inter
ested In farming operations.
The plan is being followed in Ster-
ling and some other schools.
That there are some objectionsl to
the plan is obvious. For the child
of tender years five days is probably
better, and this would be true of oil.
der children il not strong. In addi-
ton. the winter time is usually the
thine when bad weather is most like
ly to interfere with attendance.
The storm has caused some talk of
abandoning the plan through Janua-
ny until the snow has settled and the
roads are better.
Yesterday the weather was so bad
at noon and reports were that it was
worse at Sterling and coming this
way that school was let out soon af-
ter noon and the drivers started out
with their loads. An extra car was
sent out to take home some who had
a considerable distance to walk and
one of these pupils remained in town

Chicago, Jan. o4-WHEAT-Fresh de-
clines in wheat took place today. largely
a result of the continued absence of
foreign buying. The waiting attitude on
ever did not lead to aggFessiveness on
the part of the bears despite peace talk
and German marine activities. Unfavor
able crop reports from Kansas. Nebraska
and Oklahoma tended somewhat to check
weakness. Opening prices, which ranged
from 1sc to 7sc lower with May at s1.s4
to S1.s43s and July at $151h to $1.51 T.,
were followed by material further set
back but then by a general rally.
The close was nervous at S1.S41a to S1.S4
for May and $1.531a to $1.53as for July with
the markets as whole ssc off to 23sc up,
CORN-Corn sagged with wheat. On the
down turn, tho buying increased owing
to reports that shipments from Argentine
hereafter be greatly diminished, after
opening 1sc to sc lower, prices showed
moderate additional losses but later made
a good recovery.
Active export demand for corn helped
subsequently to carry values to the high
est point yet this season. The close was
steady at sc to &c net advance.
OATS-In oats. as in other cereals early
weak was subsequently more or less off
set. Buffalo advices told of arrangements
being perfected to move large amounts of
oats from that market to the seaboard.
PROVISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs gave strength to provisions. Besides,
cables indicated fear of a shortage of sup
plies in Great Britain.
