Rome’s’ Determination to Destroy
Patriotic Press by Bills in Con
gress Must Be. Overwhelmed
By Avalanche of Protest.
(By Gilbert O. Nations, Vice-Presi
dent Free Press Defense League.)
As stated a few weeks ago, two
bills are before the present Congress
directing the Postmaster General to
exclude from the mails all publica
tions that offend the mighty Roman
Catholic political machine.
Recently defeated in all her en
deavors to crush the patriotic press
by criminal prosecutions in the fed
eral courts, Rome is redoubling her
efforts to have these un-American
measures enacted into law. She is
determined that the Protestant and
patriotic newspapers shall cease to
turn the light of truth on her politi
cal intrigues and corruption.
With a general election approach
ing, she has deeply resolved that the
Postmaster General shall be given
autocratic power and peremptory
orders to destroy the patriotic press
and so hush the voice of warning and
exposure. Similar measures were in
troduced in the last Congress, but
were, defeated in committee by the
valiant opposition of many patriots,
including eminent Protestant minis
ters, who appeared before the com
mittee for that purpose.
The Roman Catholic press now re
flects intensified determination to
push one or both these measures
through ' the present Congress.
Organs of the papal machine are call
ing upon all subjects of the pope to
write appeals to their Senators and
Representatives in Congress for the
passage of these bills. Unless true
Americans make strong protest, this
most stupendous effort Rome has
ever put forth to control legislation
in this country will succeed; and her
success would mean the total de
struction of all patriotic publications.
Thus relieved of the searchlight of
public exposure, Rome would then
quickly control and blight’this coun
try as she has so long blighted Mex
ico and would punish with relentless
cruelty all who have dared to resist
her intrigues against our liberties.
The one of these bills which the
papal following seems specially to
favor was introduced by Representa
tive Fitzgerald and is known as
11. R. 6468. The other was intro
duced by Representative Siegel and
is known as IT. R. 491. Both are
now before the House Committee on
Post Offices and Pest Roads. In let
ters io Senators and Representatives
the bills should be designated re
spectively as the Fitzgerald Postal
Bill (IT. R. 6468) and the Siegel
Postal Bill (H. R. 491).
This issue of freedom of the press
faces all patriotic citizens —all who
love our homes, our Churches, our
schools, our flag and our country.
The following steps should be taken
at once:
1. Every patriot should immedi
ately write a strong letter to tho
Congressman from his district and to
each of his two United States Sena
tors demanding that both these bills
be overwhelmingly defeated in com
mittee or on the floors of Congress.
Let millions of these letters pour in
a mighty avalanche upon all mem
bers of both houses of Congress,
urging prompt and vigorous opposi
tion on their part.
2. Lot. all Churches and schools
and patriotic organizations and all
THE JEFFERSONIAN
others who can do so proceed at once
to circulate and forward to their
Congressmen and Senators petitions
addressed to the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled, asking for the defeat of
both these pernicious measures.
3. Let the Conferences, Conven
tions, Associations and Assemblies of
the great Protestant Churches
throughout the nation pass strong
resolutions and forward them to
Senators and Representatives as
early as possible.
Every member of both houses of
Congress must be made to realize
that the American people stand ready
to defend freedom of the press as
long as patriotic blood flows through
their veins. Advise me at 416
Tenth Street, N. E., Washington. D.
C., what further steps the situation
seems to you to require.
JACKSON FARMERS PROTEST
AGAINST USURY.
To His Honor Chas. H. Brand,
Judge of the Western Circuit.
Dear Sir: We'the organized farm
ers of Jackson County, this day as
sembled. in county convention, ten
der to you our highest appreciation
of your faithful and fearless dis
charge of your dutys in the enforce
ment of the law.
Loving our state as all good citi
zens do, jealous of her good name,
and standing for the enforcement of
the laws of our state, as good citi
zens we pledge to our courts our
zealous support, realizing that our
lives, liberty and all that is dear to
us, rests in the faithful execution
of our laws.
If your honor think it proper, and
for the best interest of society, we
would appreciate in your charge to
the Grand jury that you call their
attention, and the attention of the
public to the violation of the law in
reference to usury, that over 8 per
cent interest in Georgia under our
code and decisions of our supreme
court is usury, and unlawful.
This where practiced, is an unjust,
and illegal burden, and the great
mass of our citizens would appre
ciate your influence upon this mat
ter.
Assuring you of our high apprecia
tion of your noble and useful life,
and faithful service to your fellow
man, we are,
Sincerely yours,
T. T. COOPER,
Prest. Jackson Co. Farmers Union.

AN OHIO FRIEND IS INDIGNANT.
Dear Sir: I just received The
Jeff, and read the letter of Mr. T. E.
Watson to Congressman Vinson. I
can’t think there will be any attempt
made to drag T. E. W. to another
State for a third trial, but if there
should be, I think there will be some
kicking outside of Georgia in behalf
of T. E. W. Yours truly,
Ohio. J. T. WATERS.
P. S'. —I would like to write our
Representative, Rosco McCulloch, if
it is not out of place about ’ the
matter. J. T. W.
