dent Of the Free Press Defense
League, SO Bliss Building, Wash
ington, D. g.
Tho great cities Of the United
States are politically in Roman Cath

demonstrated it's political activity by
the number Of papists nominated for
Congress in districts lying wholly or
in part in these great cities or i'm
mediately adjacent to them.
Twenty-three Congressional dis
tricts cluster in and about Greater
New York. A Roman Catholic is
nominated for Congress by one or
both of the great parties in twelve
of these twenty-three districts and
strong pro-papists are nofinated in
several others.
Ten districts lie in and near
Chicago. One or more Roman Cath
olics are nominated in five of these
districts and men who opposed the
immigration bill in several others.
Six districts are grouped about
Philadelphia, and in four Of them
Roman Catholics are candidates for
Congress.
Four Massachusetts districts lie
in Or adjacent to Boston, and in three
of these districts Roman Catholics
are nominated.
The three districts in Southern

Orleans, and two Of them have Ro-
man Catholic nominees for Congress.
All three of the districts in Rhode

WHAT GEORGIANS THINK OF
IAINSWORTH AND HIS ILK.
Dawson, Ca, Dec. 5, 191

Dawson, Ca, Dee. 5, 1916. =
Dear Sir: Permit me to con-
graduate you on your superb and un-
flinching defense and your speedy
acquittal.
Your presentment of your case to
the jury is a masterpiece. 1t is UNI
excelled by any of the classics. 1t
should be read by every Georgian. I
guess the frenzied preacher who by
his unnecessary diatribe, has
brought odium upon his own head
and shame upon the heads of thou
sands of Georgians and Georgia
Methodists, will now confine himself
to his ministerial duties. But he
will never outlive the hurt he has in
flicted upon himself and his church.
The dirty, constituencies Dailies,
that could find no terms strong
enough to express hatred, but who
restored TO lies and villifcation to
crafty their own spleen, and to mis-
lead the public, will now give their
feeble talents to better thoughts.
When Georgia was reviled,
abused and vituperated by hired
journals, that had no knowledge of
the facts, and when the good name
VI OuI SldIS dIlu Jul R0OPIG was DIS
sailed, by men bought to do the dirty
work; you were the only editor
among us, who had the courage and
manhood to vindicate our character,
and to show that Georgians are
neither cut-throats, assassins, nor
towards, we ws~e reviIed from one
end of the country to the other, and
our mighty Dailies did not utter one
word to save the good name of our
State and the unblemished character
Of our women.
In conclusion, allow me to thank
Mrs FELTON, and Rev. J. F. Galloway
for their timely articles in the Tele-
graph. Those articles were fine and
they are true. Ainsworth, no doubt,
speaking at the time he did,
thought he was aiding much III your
conviction. But again THE mighty
has fallen"
With best wishes for your health,
happiness and security, | am,
Yours truly,
M. G.. STATHAMs

Judge E. E. BirdSOng
Comes Out With a
Public Statement.
Prominent Man Says 'Tanlac
Restored His Health After
Years ofSuffering and He
Heartily Endorses It.

ITO me, the strongest possible evil
dence that Tanlac does what is
claimed for it, is remarkable ina
proyement it has made in my condi-
ton, said Judge Edgar e. Birdsong,
who is one of the best known men
i'll Hancock County, Ga. Judge
Birdsong resides at Jewell, Co, and
enjoys a reputation for honesty and
integrity that stands unimpeached
throughout the thirty years in which
he has presided over the court in
olIcial capacity. His statement,
given before and witnessed by a no.
jary public, will bear great weight,
as he has vast acquaintance through
this section of the country.
Il can hardly remember the time
when my supper has not caused me
such torture from indigestion and
heartburn, that / didn't almost dread
to see bedtime come he continued.
L-0ng into the night I have suffered
agonies until it seemed | would never
set any rest. Undigested food
gathered in my stomach like hard
Jumps and seemed to sour, and panied
me like hot Goals of fire. Gas would
form from pieces of fermented food
and swell me until / was forced to
belch it up and it seemed almost like
q flame had found it's way into the
region Of my heart.
Although it was more incomforta-
bic at night, I suffered almost as
much discomfort at breakfast and at
my noon meal. | lost weight and
strength alarmingly and became so
weak and worn out, that I dreaded to
think Of sitting through a session of
my court.
L saw so many endorsements from
prominent people, telling Of the
merit of Tanlac, that I decided to
see what it would 90 for me.
My Improvement began immedi-
ately after 1 had taken the first few
doses of Tanlac. / can now eat and
get the nourishment from anything
that is set before me, and it digests
readily. My stomach is in fine con-
dition and the belching up of gas
watch caused my heartburn, Is a
thing of the past, and I am gain
iHg in weight and strength every
day.
Il am glad to give you this atfi-
davit for | feel that there are num-
bers of people who will see my state
ment and try Tanlac, and / know
they will get results from it, for
think it is unequalled as a remedy
for troubles like mine"
Tanlac is sold in every locality
by one regularly established agency.

A TIME FOR COMMON SENSE

The leaders of the nation in calling the people to prepare for wartime conditions have given much at tenton to the elimination of waste. The habit of wasting is of national sins. At this time government especially desires the elimination of the food wastage because America must feed the world during the progress of the and for time thereafter. But the government also desires in- terruption of business during the and the ment warns against hysteria which may interfere with business
 When 1t was announced that the production of food would be the first great of the government in this many Americans lost their heads and began period of feversh buying of foodstufs thereby advan cing prices of the staples. Luckily this stopped before it had continued many hours The boarding of food is not necessary, is there any necessity for frantic eurtaiment of expenditures by individuals businesses city county governments when the taments are economies, but merely foolish steps taken result of hyseria.
 What the government desires with reference to busi- is shown in this passage from Presndent Wilson's address,
 Tt is evident to every thinking that in- dusries the farm in the shipyards in the mines in the factories, must be prolific and more efficient.
 Nothing should be done to interfere with business. To win this business must move at highest pressure. Wars entirely by with guns Work in the mines and in the fields and the shops continue in order to win the The out standing trait of the average American Is common sense. Let's mobolize common at this time We need it.-Arkansas Gazette.

GOING TO BE A SOLDIER

So you're going to be a soldier, you young man? Going to put the uniform of your country; going march in the ranks with your fellows going do what you to bring peace to the world, by rskng your life in battle? Fnel God bless you, A hundred million people and more will day sing your praises if of them do not at this time realize the sacrifices you making for them. But listen
 You going to leave mother behind you. She is going to endure than you will endure. She is going to suffer than you will suffer though the cruel shell your very heart Your duties may be trying you will forget her for the moment; her duties be trying that she will forget you for single moment
 You may night be out the picket ne-away from your felowsou in the dark at the dead hour of midnight. There, alone, you may think of her, and wonder what she is doing at the moment. Well, the chances are she will be thinking of you-of her boy for mothers sleep IS ftful when her boy Is away.
 There will be hours when you forget home and the friends; there will be hours when friends forget you. But there will be hour, however long you may be away, when mother will forget you. Always you will be in her mind always she will be with you spirit; helping to bear your hardships for you, praying for you hoping for you wishing for you.
 You can no more get away from mothers love than the light can get away from the sun You can dis grace yourself the eyes of the world except in those of mother You win fame and glory and receive the applause of the world but neither fame glory increase the love which mother bears for even in the denseness of obscurlty
 So you're going to Going to do your bit. Go ing to be man and play mans part. Going to obey the orders of your superior officers Going to sleep the hard ground and the coarsest of foods and perform the hardest of tasks Day and night you will be called upon; winter and summer you will have to accept whatever comes But 1t is your choice you go because you want to-because feel 1t is your duty

WAS TENNYSON A PROPHET?

For dip into the future, far human eye see Saw the Vision of the Word-and all the wonder that be:
 Saws the heavens filled with commerce, argoses of magic sails,
 Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly balls Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there raned ghastly dew From the nations airy naves graphing in the central blue.
 Far along, the worldwide whisper of south wind rush ing warm With the standards of the people plunging through the thunder storm, Till the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battle flags fured There the common of most shall hold fretful realm in awe And the kindly light shall slumber lapped in unver- sal law
