WHE 'TRTAtS OF A FARMER WHO
M'hVED TO TOWN.
N Farm and Fireside is the
story of a farmer wi;o sold
his property to live in the
city, because his city friends
“wore good clothes, had
E
money jingling in their pockets,
went to the movies, belonged to
clubs, and enjoyed a yeany vaca 7
tion.” He found, however, that the
city man pays dearly Lor these lux
uries.
“We came to know," he said, “that
’ it was just as hard for the city man
to get up at seven o’clock in the
morning as it was tor the country
man to get up at five. Wny sot Be
cause he must not relax; ne ss ever
on duty. He must smile at this per-
Sen and that person. He dares not
notice, anyone’s peculiarities, or ocIG
. or unreasonableness. The re
sult is' he must find his relaxation in
ths evening; therefore the family
rarely gets to bed before ten or
eleven o’clock, and seven in the
morning finds him just as sleepy and
far less refreshed than five found
Jhim on the farm.
“We found going to worn: for
fcomebody else every day in the year,
except Sunday and perhaps a two
weeks vacation, under somebody
else as manager, didn’t exactly suit
Our country spirit of freedom. We
itame to know that our friends
Maved scarcely a cent; and, further
more, one couldn’t exactly see how
they were extravagant, tn the city
it seems unbelievably hard to sep
arate luxuries from necessities.’’

“GRANDMOTHER’S STORIES’’
ENJOYED.
Dear Sir: Please ac’cept our very
Bincere < " thanks for the copy of
“Grandmother’s Stories’’ you so kind
ly donated to our school library last
Week. It is a charming little book
Bud all of our pupils are simply
Carried away with it.
The fifty copies you are giving to
the schools of Georgia will do a great
deal to give our boys and girls clearer
ideas of the true part played in the
history of our country by the patri
otic men and women of the South.
You have given much of your time
and means, Mr. Watson, for the up
lift of mankind in general and of
Georgia and the South in particular,
but T doubt if you ever did anything
at so small a cost (comparatively) to
yourself, the results of which will be
So potent a factor in determining the
future of the young people who read
the book.
If you ever have the time to make
Bny mor.e public addresses, we hope
you will remember that you have a
warm place in the hearts of the peo
ple of this community and that the
heartiest of welcomes will await you
should you have an opportunity to
tome among us again. Thanking
you unde more, and wishing you ev
ery success in your patriotic efforts
to maintain the freedom of the press,
liberty of conscience and the separa
tion of Church and State, I am,
Your friend.

The trial of Tom Watson, of Geor
gia, for publishing obsdene matter
of stuff in Latin from
l?eter Dens, canonized Catholic
writer) resulted in a mistrial, eleven
•jurors standing for acquittal and one
for conviction. The pope had one
juror, and the Government attorney
now says that there is not enough
evidence on which to retry the case.
Thus ends the attempt of the Federa
tion of Catholic Societies to put a
man in the penitentiary for printing
In LATIN the stuff that Catholic
priests are presumed to talk to Cath
olic women in the confessional box.
What sort of an institution is it that
asks the Government to prosecute
men for printing as obscene matter
the stuff that it authorizes its min
isters to talk lb Catholic wives, sis
ters and mothers? —Omaha Times.
THE JEFFERSONIAN
NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP IN
LOUISIANA."
All lovers of individual liberty
should feel concerned when the
freedom press is interfered
with in this couhtfy. The
New Orleans was sub
jected to humiliation 411 st week
which is surprising in a mnd where
the federal constitution and the £dn
stitution of all of the states guaran
tee freedom of the press. Governor
L. E. Hall, of Louisiana, has under
taken to suppress the circulation of
the Daily States in Jefferson parish,
where martial law has been declared
to check gambling. The report of
the action against tne Daily States
in this parish is enough to cause one
to realize that this country may be
endangered by a few of the auto
cratic practices in vogue in Europe
being echoed in acts of some Ameri
can officials. The action of the gov
ernor of Louisiana is repugnant to
all newspapers as it is evidence or
such a danger.
Censorship in peaceful America Is
something new. The Daily States
was not allowed to be distributed in
Jefferson parish last Friday until it
was censored by the captain of the
military camp. If tjie governor of
Louisiana establishes this precedent
no newspaper may be assured that
it will be at liberty to circulate
where it pleases if it happens to dis
please a politician clothed with brief
authority. Whether or not the Daily
States happened to be the champion
of right or wrong in this Instance
has nothing to do with the case.
The law of libel is the only check on
the press in this country. In resort
ing to suppression and censorship the
governor of Louisiana exceeded his
authority that the courts in the in
terest of the public good should give
the Louisiana daily the redress it
seeks.—Pensacola News.
A WORD FROM KANSAS.
Dear Sir: I wish to congratulate
you on your success which has just
closed another chapter with the
Catholics, and I hope that the 1916
conventions will nbt be opened by
“Jim’’ Gibbons or any other Catho
lic.
1 am sending you another clipping
(editorial) from The Topeka Capi
tal. It also gave the report or the
jury that was looking after your
case. This also from the Capital,
and the only paper as yet, that 1 have
seen any notice of their report not
ing their firm stand.
The object of the clipping Is to
show the change that Mrs. Lease-s
report of the Frank case has made.
Previous to her visit to Georgia the
tone of this paper was of the vin
dictive spirit, but Mrs. Lease seems
to have brought about a feeling that
capital can protect a criminal but
there is patriotism enougn *n thes&
United States to resent such acts.
Success to The Jeffersonian. May
you live to see its principles pre
dominate in every state of this
Union.
The Hodges administration placet*
nearly every institution in the hands
of the Catholics and Geo. Capper is
doing all he can possibly do to right
matters, but he has both hands and
feet tied and can only us« ms mouth,
and that is telling w’onderruny.
Success to you and the principles
you advocate.
Yours truly,
L. M. EMERSON.
