eJotin Slatoo’is Declaration of War
SOME weeks ago The Jeffersonian sum
med up the situation in Georgia by
saying;
\“The Gentile girl is dead; the Jew who
killed’ her is dead. The account IS BAL
ANCED. Let it stay so.”
If Rosser, the Haas brothers, and John
W. Grant possessed a grain of real knowl
edge about the People, they would have
heeded good advice.
Rosser has made his way at the bar by
bluster, and bluff, and unscrupulous disre
gard of the rights and feelings of the weak.
’ The Haases belong to the carpet-bag broth
erhood who have been the vampires of the
South, and who have grown (rich (on the
toil of Gentiles.
John Grant is a newly-rich, purse-proud
snob, who believes ‘that anything can be
done by Money.
Hence, they were determined not to close
the Mary Phagan-JLeo Frank books.
They were determined TO REOPEN
THE ACCOUNT.
Accordingly, in the arrogance of his in
herited wealth, John Grant hires a little
jackass, straps a small cannon to its back,
and )loads (the howitzer with ammunition
furnished by his Wandering Willie of a
brother-in-law, Slaton.
John Grant fired off the howitzer, saying
before he did so, “this will smash Watson
Instead, it prostrated the jackass.
The recoil of the gun was too great for
the strength of the little quadruped.
The Italian Pope’s Foot Kissers are Mightily Worked
IN the latest issue of the Con
verted Cat belie Maga
zine, New York Ctiy, there
is a statement which adds a very material
fact to the campaign of Americanism
against Romanism.
The editor is Bishop Manuel Ferrando. a
Spaniard who left the Roman church some
years ago; and if the priests have ever dared
to publish a word against his character, I
have never seen it.
The important statement made by him is
this:
There is a clause, in the rules governing
the election of a Pope, which forbids the
election of anyone but an Italian.
I have called attention, frequently, to the
unbroken line of Italian Popes, for the last
two or three hundred years.
The Italians obtained a majority in the
Papal electoral college ages ago, and they
have kept it.
The Italian Pope maintains a majority of
Italian Cardinals by appointing them; and
this majority of Italian cardinals, in turn,
elect an Italian cardinal to be Pope.
Thus the Roman Catholic church is the
closest kind of a local, self-perpetuating Ital
ian corporation.
Bishop Ferrando says that they have a
clause in their secret regulations which de
mands the election of none but Italians.
Thomson, Ga., Thursday, October 7, 1915
John Grant’s Artillery
While he was down, Grant and Rosser
hurriedly reloaded the cannon.
When the donkey rose to his feet, they
again fired the howitzer: and again it was
the little jackass that went (Town. Nothing
else fell, except a pile of John Grant’s duc
ats.
The attack on The Jeffersonian was so
clearly an attempt to give a personal direc
tion to the Frank case, and to the utterly
corrupt practises revealed in it, from start
to finish, that I would have been the silliest
of editors had the tactics of Grant, Rosser.
Haas and Slaton succeeded.
The effort to localize the issue and narrow
it to a personal wrangle, was bound to be
abortive; it was too clumsy, too thin, to de
ceive anybody.
What have John Grant and Rosser and
Slaton really accomplished by their fusil
lade on the Jeffersonian.
What has Slaton.done for himself, in sup
plying his rich brother-in-law with private
data for an attack on me?
He has simply reopened the Frank ease,
chunked up every brush-heap of passion, and
thrown fresh fuel on every fire that was dy
ing down.
He has given new life to every question
in the debate, and he has drawn all eyes to
the partnership between himself and Tranks
lawyers.
Public Schools of Fort Lauderdale
So you see that the American priests who
are striving so hard to gain control of mar
riage and divorce, education and politics, the
Army and the Navy, the Judiciary and the
other departments of Government, are guil
ty of a wicked conspiracy which aims to
establish the control of a local, foreign
church-
The law of this foreign church demands
control of the schools.
' Cardinal Gibbons and other American pre
lates have for years been denouncing our
Public School system, and have been indus
triously setting up Popish schools.
They now claim to have more than a mil
lion Catholic children in these schools, and
such bigots as Archbishop Messner, of Mil
waukee, publicly threatened to deny “the
sacraments’’ to any Catholic who sent his
children to the Public Schools.
Is there a single Protestant teacher in any
of the Romanist schools and colleges?
Not one.
You may search the world over, and you
won’t find a Protestant teacher in the em
ployment of a Catholic.
Yet these intolerant Romanists who are
said to have a majority of the teachers in
20,000 Protestant schools, are raising the big-
In fact, Slaton has so managed himself,
that everybody now sees that he became one
of Leo Frank's lawyers a few days after Ros
ser did.
Everybody now sees that SLATON 11.45
FRANK'S'' LAWYER. , FROM THE
FIRST DAY OF HIS GUBERNATORI
AL TERM, TO THE LAST!
Rosser and Brandon were employed to de
fend Leo Frank before anybody had accused
him of the crime.
In Slaton’s 15,000-word document, he ad
mits this astounding fact.
Slaton tried to explain away its force by
saying that Franks friends employed these
lawyers!
Then his friends wore the first to suspect
him!
Why did his friends suspect him. on the
Sunday the girl's body was found?
Why did these friends pussy-foot to Ros
ser and Brandon?
Rosser appeared publicly as Frank's law
yer the next morning, as the record shows;
and at that time not a Gentile finger had
been pointed at Leo Frank.
Now. when did Slaton and Phillips merge
with Rosser and Brandon ?
Samuel Adams assures you positively it
was in July.
As I have already said, that date, in the
year 1913. would not help Rosser and Sla
ton; but, as a matter of fact, Samuel Adams
allowed Rosser to fool him about the date.

gest sort of a howl because
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., declin
ed to accept a Catholic teach-
er sent to them from Miami.
The Romanist Bishop of St. Augustine,
Mike Curley, publishes a coarse, vitupera
tive attack on the 181 gentlemen who held
an orderly meeting in the customary Amer
ican style, debated the question, and voted
that the Protestant school of Fort Lauder
dale should be, in fact. Protestant.
Curley calls this indoor assembly of school
patrons and representative citizens, “a
mob.”
The word “mob” seems to be getting to
be a permanent fixture in the minds of
some writers.
•Curley asks:
Are we to take for granted that the hissing,
cat-calling bigots of Lauderdale, ready to hound
a Catholic to death, because a Catholic, has the
sanction of Florida’s citizens?
What a fine display of impudence is this!
Curley lives near where there was a most
savage massacre of Protestants, by Catholics,
for no other reason than that thev were Pro
testants.
Curley has doubtless seen the dungeon of
the devilish Inquisition, where Protestants
were tortured by Catholics for no other rea
