perhaps it was not realized, at the time
Congress has no authority to establish any
system Of slavery: no one will dispute this
but how can you take one part Of the Thir-
teenth Amendment and reject the other?
Congress surely could not conscript a mil
lion free men, and put them to laboring in
the public parks, or constructing post roads.
When the citizen is taken, against his will,
and made to serve the Government in any
capacity whatever, the Government is VIC
lating the Thirteenth Amendments and vio-
lating the time honored principles of Magma
Charto which declare that no free man stall
be taken, against his will.
Again, | have argued. with the utmost
good faith and with profound conviction,
that an Act of Congress cannot any more de-
prive man of his liberty than it can of his
life The English Parliament, in the days
Of royal tyranny, took mems lives by what
were called acts of attander, and they
stretched the laws of treason, until it was
death to imagine change Of government, or
to oppose the royal will.
Our forefathers wildly remembered those
cruel acts OF arbitrary power, and they linn
tied treason, so that Congress could never en-
large it.
The citizen can commit treason in but one
way only: if he commits overt acts against
his government in time Of war, and there
are two witnesses to these overt acts, he is
guilty Of treason; but not otherwise
Nothing he can sag or acrjte amounts to
treason.
Again, the law is perfectly plain, and our
forefathers wrote it there for purpose, that
the citizen cannot be deprived of his life,
liberty or property, WITHOUT due process Of
law.
An act of the Legislature is not the due
process of law, which safeguards your lib
eTty.
An act of Congress is not the due process
of law, nor the law Of the land, as meant in
those constitutional safeguards.
Judge Cooley lays this down with the great
est emphasis, in his Constitutional Limita-
tions, and he quotes decision after decision Of
the Supreme Court of the United States.
[ also argue with perfect fairness, and in
terms that were strictly parliamentary that
Ii IS one of the old common law rights Of
the citizen, to remain in his own country, If
that is his preference
In the Presidents letter to Mr.. Arthur
Brisbane, he stated that he recognized fully.
the right of the citizen to discuss the public
conduct of public men, and to criticize the
acts of the Government.
The most violent TRADES | ever read against
President Wilson, were written bv Bishop
Kelley, and by Archbishop Blenk, when the
President recognized the provisional govern
ment of Gen. Carranza.
The informing Star" Archbishop Blcnl's
personal organ, was SO violent. that it even
made threats against President Wilson.

Did Bishop Kelley and te knights Columbus Have Done

and the Attorney General, Mr. Clifford
Walker, very promptly wrote cut splendid
opinion, condemning the Savannah situation.
Of course, this prolonged fight made some
bitter enemies for The Jelfersonian, which
was the only paper which would handle the
subject, and keep it before the people
1t is also we'll known that [ advocated the
inspection of all institutions, where persons
of any age or color are held in confinement
| think it a shame that any State should
tolerate system, III which unmarried priests
hold women IN converts, inaccessible to any
except those unmarried men.
It is a begging Of the question to say that
the women are voluntarily confined: the
State. should not be satisfied with the unsup-
ported word of the men who hold those pris-
oners, in solitary confinement: if they have
surrendered their liberty, and find their hap
piness in dungeons, it will not do any harm
for them to say that much to State officials
A committee of the grand jury can as safe
~ be trusted with that duty as with any
other, and those women will not be in any
greater danger of contamination from those
grand Jurors, then they are from the priests,
whom they actually meet
Bishop Kelley dcfied this law: dehed the
Superior Court Of his county, and put him
self in an attitude of rebellion against the
commonwealth in which he lives.
The Legislature now in session will be
asked to give its attention to this lawless con
duct of Bishop Kelley, and he knows that
The Jefersonan will not cease to demand
that he and his priests and the women who
manage his converts, shall obey the law
Just as every other citizen has to obey it,
[ do not know to what extent the knights
Of Columbus and Bishop Kelley are connected
with the action of Postmaster Marion Lucas,
who stopped The Jefersonian last week, in
the Savannah post-ofice
But anybody who has read that paper,
must feel convinced that free speech and free
dom of the press have already been abolished,
If such conduct as that is to be approved by
the Government
| am not even informed as to which part
Of the paper was considered non available, nor
can [ understand, except upon the theory
already indicated, why the postmaster at Sa-
vannah should have done what no other post
master has yet done.
Is it crime for an editor to make an argu-
ment, IN parliamentary terms, against stat
ute which he considers plain violation of
the highest law?
When the States, in 1865 amended the Con
stituton, by saying that neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude should exist except as
a punishment for crime, of which the person
shall be duly convicted, does not that supreme
law repeal every other that conflicts with it?
Grant, for the sake of argument, that prior
to 1865, q CONSUMPTION act was legal. although
Daniel Webster argued it was not. still it
must be admitted that the Thirteenth Amend
ment made q change In the law although

I [ is very we'll known to the readers of
= The JetfersOnlan, as we'll as to its stock
holders and directors, that it has been the
object OF the most determined attacks from
the Roman Catholic Hierarchy
They used the mails illegally, to carry ON a
propaganda to brighten off its advertisers.
Anthony Matre,, the Secretary of the Ma
tlonal Federation of Catholic Societies, was
the active agent of this conspiracy, which
was first formed against our Magazine and
paper, at the convention held by those socie-
ties, in New Orleans
1t is also well known that they caused the
neWsdeaers to refuse to handle the Maya
zine, on account OF a series of articles, Civ
ing the history Of the manner in which the
Christian Church at Rome, gradually evolved
the monstrous system of paganism and impos-
ture which sought to rule the world, and
which, for many centuries, did rule item
turtles in which Christendom was plunged
plunged into the most Wretched conditions
ever inflicted upon so large portion of the
human race
These chapters were 50 Unanswerable and
so damaging to this foreign PRIESTHOOD which
has made such marvellous Roadway III our
own country, that they instituted prosec,l-
ton which hung over the head Of the editor
for five years.
AS our readers know, the gist Of that pros
ecution was the republication, by The Jetfer-
sonian of the vile language which these I'M
married priests of Rome, use to Catholic
women in the privacy Of their homes, or in
the privacy of the confessional.
When the prosecution broke down last De
cember, knew very we'll that it would come
back, under some other form, and [ am not
at all surprised that it comes back in the
home of Bishop Kelley.
For many years this paper exposed and
Combatted the illegal relations existing be
tween the Catholic church and the school
board in Savannah
The Roman bishop had made demand on
the school board for division of the school
funds; the board had at first taken its posi-
ton on the law namely, that the States
money could not be appropriated to any in
stitution of the church. But the Romanists
persisted, until they obtained portion of
the public school funds, for the maintenance
of two of their schools, in which religious
instruction was given.
Bishop Kelley treated the just criticism
of The Jeffersonian with the contempt 50
characteristic of priestly arrogance.
Ex-Judge Sam Adams stood by the Cath
Ollie bishop, and in every possible way he
endeavored to obscure the facts. and to de-
feat the law.
The State Superintendent of Schools, Mr.
M. l.. Britain, publicly defended this mis-
use of the States funds, delivering one speech
to that effect to the Teachers Convention
However, he came so near to defeat last
year, that he suddenly decided to ask for the

WILL HOLD Up BRIDGE
MONEY STATES BOARD
Claim Councilmen Promised
To Turn Over Structure
ABOUT $4,000 IS DUE
New and Unexpected Wrinkle
Develops; Aldermen Are
Surprised

The board of county commissioners
decided yesterday to withhold $4,000
from the city of Mankato, maintain
ing the city did not keep the conditions
of verbal contract made with that
body in the month of -uary, 1916.
The commissioners that two
years ago the city : a offered to
turn the old bridge = to the county
commissioners, dnty to con-
tribute $500 toy q he new bridge,
pay $4,000 upon = pt of the bridge,
and $4,000 late
were informs' - le time that all old
property my =. sold at auction, ac-
cording toS s rovisions of the city
charter, b. y this matter could be
easily arrange> and the bridge bid in
when the auction was to be scheduled.
Bridge Sold to Rochester.
The city sold the bridge to the city
of Rochester, without further con-
ferring with the commissioners, and
they will pay no more money to the
city. The board feels there will be no
trouble in coming to an amicable
agreement on this matter, however.
1t may be said that at the time the
agreement was made, the present
members were not on the city council
and that the agreement was only verb
al. However the commissioners felt
that with the payment of the $500
they had bound the contract.
Estimating the number of tons in
the bridge at $50, the bridge was sold
at about $500, so the county was will
ing to pay about $1,000 more.
Those members of the city council
who were interviewed stated that they
knew nothing of any promise or verbal
agreement to turn over the old bridge
to the county. The first inkling these
councilmen had of any such promise
if one was made-was given to them
on the afternoon the bridge was sold
to Rochester.
The Resolution Adopted.
The resolution adopted by the com
missioners yesterday in regard to this
matter. reads as follows:
"Whereas. it was heretofore repf eserlt-
ed to the board of county commissioners
officials of the city of Mankato that If
said county appropriate the sum of $12,-
600, to be paid TO said, city in aid of said
city in the construction of the new
Main street bridge in said city, the said
city would convey and turn over to said
county the old bridge replaced by said
new bridge, and
Whereas said county relying on such
representation made such appropriation
as requested and,
"Whereas. the sum of $4,000 of said
money still remains unpaid, and where
as said city now refuses to comply with
said representation,
Now therefore it is resolved that
said appropria ton be cut down and re-
duced in said sum of $4,000 and the said
appropriation is hereby cut down and
modified and the said sum shall not be
paid for the reasons aforesaid"

clared in its annual report submitted
to congress today. Far greater pow
ers over business are necessary if
the government is to set for the pro-
lection of its citizens from protiteering
and unfair trade practices, the COM
mission asserted. 1t recommended al
so:
An investigation of trade associa-
items" suspected of promoting price
boosting campaigns among members,
a further attempt to unscramble the
petroleum industry: passage by con-
gress of the Webb export bill.
THE commission is particularly OF
the opinion" the report read, that
price-fiXing by authority of law should
be exercised with respect to the iron
and steel industry, for which a bill
has been introduced in the senate.
Equally important is the regulation of
the distribution OF raw materials ana
intermediate products in the indus
try affected and of the distribution
of the final products to the consumer"
The commission declared the pur-
pose of these laws would be defeated
if existing contracts, largely based on
inflated war prices, were allowed to
