(OMPLIMENTING COL. KING
C. O. King, representative of New
ton county in the house of representa
tives! claims to be the only member,
of the legislature who has not intro
duced a bill and doesn’t intend to in
troduee one. Tlie state lias enough
laws already, in the opinion of 3Ir.
King, who is a well known lawyer and
clerk of the Newton county board of
commissioners.—Atlanta Journal.
Representative King is eminently
correct. The state has so many laws
that hundreds of them are dead letter/,
and in many cases there are ludicrous
conflicts. We should say that half of
th epresent laws ought to he repealed
and few new ones enacted dur-
ing the next decade.
The state suffers very severly from
the feverish desire of new members
to “pass a law.”—Says th£ Walton
Tribune.
To all of which the Covington News
subscribes and thanks the brethren in
the name of Newton County.
KILL METHODIST POWER?
The esteemed Atlanta Georgia, evi
dently from a wet source carried a
Washington dispatch which said that
The Challenge, a monthly magazine
has appeared advocating A1 Smith for
the presidency and promising to
“wage war to the last ditch in an effort
to destroy tlie political power of the,
3Iethodist church and its allies by
organizing the enemies of intolerance
resardless of their political or relig
ious beliefs.”
With the daily papers publishing wet
hunk sent to them, regardless of
source, a monthly magazine would
seem superfluous. In Atlanta the
Journal, Constitution and Georgian
would seem to he doing their full duty
in the news columns to comfort the
wets with column after column of wet
propaganda, so why should a monthly
magazine enter the field?
Also, anybody ought to see that the
Methodist preachers of this country are
not a band of priests mumbling in
cantations hut a body of prophets who
cry out against evil in high places.
Their mouths will not he closed. or
their efforts shortened by any wet
propaganda distributed by the wet
daily papers.

BOOZE PROPAGANDA
, The Atlanta Journal, the Constitu
tion. the Georgian and all other daily
papers in Georgia that are fond of
publishing accounts ,#of “prohibition
atrocities”, “killings of innocent peo
pie” and other stuff of this sort should
make front page, scarehead mention
of ihe following facts taken from the
Congressional Record which show the
facts in the killing of “155 innocent
‘The following facts, taken from the
Congressional Record referred to will
show how “innocent” they were:
‘Of the 155 killed. 55 were shooting
at the federal officers when the offi
cers began to shoot. Ten others engag
ed in shooting with the officers. Thir
ty-two others pulled their guns first
but the officers were better shots.
Twelve others made attempts upon the
lives of the officers with other' in
struments than guns. Most of tin* oth
ers were endeavoring to escape. In 149
cases of the 155 the “innocent citizens”
was known to be a bootlegger.
Among the six innocent parties kill
ed. was a boy around the still when it
was being raided: was not seen until
after the fight was over, and then
found wounded two hundred yards
away. Another, when the officers were
chasing a bootlegger, suddenly stpped
out from behind atruck in front of the
officers’ car. The officers had no time
to stop before striking him. The third
osae was killed by a federal officer, but
was a man who was piloting the offi
cers to a still, and who ran int oan
other car and billed its driver. He re
ceived a prison sentence of from one
year to life. A man and his daughter
were killed in a boat collision and an
other was killed as he handed a gun
to his confederate, believed to be for
the purpose of killing the officer.
In 65 of the above killings the grand
juries, after hearing the evidence, re
fused to indict the offieers. In 59 in
stances the officers were indicted, but
acquitted on trial. As indication of how
unfairly we treat the prohibition offl

Dr. and Mrs. P. M. Judy, of St.
eers out of the four convictions had.
.
one of them was being shot at b.v the
bootleggers before he returned the fire,
ii nd yet he received *a three-year sen
fence for killing the bootlegger in self
defense. No bootlegger in America
would have been convicted under such
circumstances. In numerous instances
where the officers were killed by the
most outrageous methods on the part
of the bootleggers, the bootleggers have
gone scott-free. As was the case at FJ
Paso. Texas. The fact is .we are so
unfair to our officers that there is not
a law upon the federal statutes by
which a man can l>e tried for murder
ing a federal officer.—Says the Bap
tist Message, quoted in the Christian
Index.
Win those who are howling about
these bootleggers being killed in open
defiance of our laws permit us to call
their attention to the fact that 55 of
our federal officers have been murder
e<l by bootleggers and several hundred
of our state officers have been mur
dered. These 155 citizens, with six
possible exceptions.'were all guilty of
defying tlie laws of their own country.
These officers were all innocent citi
zens and died in the line of duty just
as did any American soldier who died
vtpon the battle field of France.
QUITE A DIFFERENCE
Wlmt would be the result if legisla-
ture should he proposed in this eoun
t rv which provided that doctrines op
posed to Protestant religions could not
be taught in either private or public
schools? The Catholic minority of the
United St’ates would, no doubt, instant
ly declare that such a proposal was
the fruit of the worst kind of intoler
ant and bigotry. Its supporters would
be labelled as narrow minded fanatics,
impossible of being given serious con
sideration.
Here, where Roman Catholics are
in the minority, the Catholic Church
proclaims itself as an advocate of tol
erant principles. One who dares to
make any criticism of its policies or
point out a possible danger of its in
fluence is made the subject of ridicule.
Do they maintain this attitude in
countries where they are in power? In
answer to this question it is inter
esting to note a recent United Press
dispatch from Lima, Peru. It reads
as follows:
“Doctrines opposed to the religion of
the state (Roman Catholic) cannot be
taught in either official or private
education establishments, tinder terms
of a decree signed by President Le
guia. June 22.
“Another proviso states that private
institutions tnfringing on the law will
be closed and properties confiscated.
Moral and religious education given in
all schools of the Repnblfe. private as
well as official, win be subject to
plans and dispositions the Govern
ment dictates, with textbooks limited
to those approved b.v the Ministry of
Education.”
With Catholics in control to tire ex
tent that they can secure the enact
ment fcr>f this decree it is jiot hard to
imagine the nature of the “moral and
religious education” to be given in all
tlie schools of the Republic. It is a
safe bet to say that Protestantism win
not be encouraged. Whether or not
the Roman Catholic Church advocates
tolerance J seemingly depends upon
whether or not they are in power,
