4 Editorial Notes . (Continued from Page 2.) Constitution, is the name of the editor who penned those pregnant words. Mr. Watson supported “ every measure necessary to sustain the national honor and to support our soldiers in the rear with Ger many. How is that to be reconciled with the vicious attacks being hurled at Mr. V atsou by the Atlanta Legionaires? The Atlanta Constitution is the month piece for the Atlanta Legion, and it is charg ed that Mr. Howell personally planned the Le gon’s war against Messrs. Hardwick and Wat son. Will Mr. Howell deny it? Attorney Jack Spaklng, one of the Atlanta highbrows, is a devout member of the only ( l church” in America whose laws conflict with American laws, the reason being that the laws of said ‘'‘church 1 1 are ma.de in Rome by the biggest autocrat in the world, with the possible exception of Woodow Wilson. Attorney Jack Spalding may be appro¬ priately called one of Papa’s Georgia sub¬ jects. At any rate, lie stands well with Gov. Dorsey, as shown by this fact: Dorsey appointed 1 awyer Spalding to “assist” the Attorney General of Georgia in the matter of forcing the American Express Company to pay certain back taxes due the State. It is presumed that said Attorney-Gen real needed said “assistance.” In this little transaction, Gov. Dorsey paid Spalding $1500. of vour money to collect $1250. due the State. Aside from the fact that it was a bid for the Catholic vote, it cost vou—the tax-pavers —$250. On such a record, Gov. Dorsey seeks elo vation to the U. S. Senate. He seems to be an ambitious young fellow, I would say. But more of Gov. Dorsey’s record: It appears that Dorsey appointed a regi ment. of “agents” to scour the State, collect ing a “tobacco tax.” Said agents reached Gordon County, col¬ lected a neat sum of money, returned to At¬ lanta and handed if over to the Hon. Dorsey, after deducting their fees, etc. The Representative from Gordon County called on the lion. Dorsey and demanded that said money be refunded to his constituents in Gordon County, threatening unless it was returned that a bill would be introduced in the Legislature airing the subject,. The Hon. Dorsey did not court said Legislative proceedure and promised tbe gen tleman from Gordon that, said money would be refunded. The week passed, and the Hon. Dorsey didn’t cough up. Tbe gentleman from Gordon remonstrated with His Excellency, and received the assn ranee that checks were alread mailed to t.hi Gordon County victims. Communication with the said victims re¬ vealed the fact that the 1 . S. mails failed deliver the said checks pursuant to the Gub emaforia! assurance of the Hon. Dorsey Again the Gentleman from Gordon punch cd Gov. Dorsev in the short ribs about said funds, and here is what happened: “1 protested so strongly that be (Dorsey! turned ovoi checks for 70 per cent, with flic request that the matter he he.pt a secret.” “Be kept a secret." said the llun. Dorsey to the representaative from Gordon County. The Representative from Gordon, to gethcr with his constituents, declared they did not consider tbe State of Georgia reduced to the necessity of stooping to such methods, and, therefore, made public a trans¬ action about which Gov. Dorsey will do some tall explaining. In order to .stimulate Dorsey’s candidacy for the Senate, the Atlanta Legion ordered a Convention of its cohorts to meet in Augusta., Georgia. The Dorsey candidacy has not fired the woods as Clark Howell thought it would, and the situation looks squally to the said Howell and the -aid Legion grenadiers. Thev fear they will lose the money ad vanned Dorsey to pay his entrance fee. The cohorts met in Augusta. Trammell Scott, the brave grenadier who was wounded on the outskirts of Atlanta, was there. Hon. • 'lark I low ll's son as there, waor ing a brilliant uniUnn, beautiful cocked and shining spurs, perhaps. Bassillus Stock-bridge was there, in all his immature glorv, and read an essav, Democratic Son of a Republican Father ” in which he mingled man' tears and little sun shine. Q- 1 Barret‘, or ,, •arncsvillc. there was and read an essay, “How 1 tried to lie a law yer and failed,” in which he sprinkled much wit, and humor. other is too citv precious high-hnc.v-y to include were present, their iihis but space frious names. AY hat happened? Mr. Fortson Gunn, of Crawfordville, an THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, HARLEM, GA. ox-private of tire Great War, whose record is an honorable one, attended tbe Convention and was promptly outlawed. Why? Because he let it known in no uncertain terms, that he favored keeping the Legion out of politics. The wounded Scott and the hardboiled Q. M. C. Barrett outlawed the country boy who favored standing by the Legion’s Consti tutional declaration of nor-intervention in pol itics, and Mr. Fortson Gunn promptly resigned his membership, All honor to Mr. Gunn! He is worth a regiment of Scotts and Barretts, July 20th. this year, in a so-called of Brooklyn, X. Y„ a young girl, nineteen years old, was brought before one of Papa’s American subjects, named Magistrate Folwell, who holds down a judicial position in that place. Magistrate Folwell belongs to Papa’s vast system of crime and immorality, the details of which, in many instances, are too filthy to publish without violating penal laws. Therefore, Papa’s American subjects are permitted to carry on (heir insidious propa¬ ganda, the ultimate object of which is to bat¬ ter down our Republican institutions and “make America Catholic,” because (be ind< pendent papers fear to tear away the mask and lay bare the hideous features of (his hire’s filthy face. In many American cities, the Pope lias agents occupying 1 judicial positions, and one of their duties is to act as recruiting officers '“or Papa’s slave pens,--the Houses of the Good Shepherd, etc. 1’apa’s slave pens hold in captivity at tractive young girls who become the prey immoral priests; when the girls lose their charms, and no longer appeal to the ippotites fit' bachelor priests, they are auto maticallv transformed into slaves for tutions, doing drudgery, hard manual labor, and other menial service for which t-hev draw no pay. \ protestant girl, named Elizabeth Shultz, vas brought before Magistrate Folwell, in Brooklyn, and said “Judge” scute need the ait] to the House of lie Good Slienherd. Xh< protested, she exhausted her physi •al strength in her effort's to escape from the Amble fate decreed her, but the servants of 1 he system brutally overpowered the girl and -hackled her ankles, and cuffed her hands. and delivered her body into the hands of Rome’s .bachelor priests. Here is the story, as taken from the N. V. Sun and Herald: “Elizabeth Shultz, nineteen years old, if 38 South First Street, Brooklyn, cleared r or more action yesterday when Magistrate Fetwell, before whom she had been arraigned 'n tbe Bridge Plaza Court, told her her ac 'ions merited just one year in the House of be Good Shepherd. “I’m a Presbyterian and you’re not go dig to send me to a Catholic home,” she ail aounced, rolling back tbe cuffs of her waist. “The other homes are filled,” she was 'old. At this the prisoner flung her hat. into lie air and dashed for the door. George Mill *r, a prison van driver, who tried to stop ier was struck in the left eye and knocked 'own. He grabbed her foot, tripping her, and lie was recaptured. Less than a block from tbe court the ■ risen van into which the young woman had been lifted was stopped. Miller called for help, lie said the prisoner had kicked him : n (he abdomen. George Weitz, a court, atten hint, who went to bis assistance was so badly -watched as to require the attention of a sur geon. Xo chances were taken after that. Eliza both leaving for the House of tbe Good Shop herd with her ankles and hands cuffed.’’ The girl informed tbe court that she was a Protestant, and for that reason resisted the efforts to sentence her into the captivity of Roman wolves. In order to uncover the crimes committed behind the locked doors and spiked walls of Rome’s slave-pens, wo passed the Convent In nection law, known in Georgia as the “Yeazy ] aw> ” Bishop Keiley, of Savannah, defies the authorities of Georgia, and refuses to permit ihe inspection of the Savannah Hell-hole. Gov. Dorsey’s weak and vacillating ad ministration permitted Keilev to get awav with his insolence. The election of Mr. Hardwick, as Govern or of Georgia, will insure the enforcement of the Veazy law. The candidacy of Hon. Sam Olive, in the Tenth District, . . oi the certain is one winners 111 campaign. Mr. Olive has Mr. Matson's whole-hearted support, the .. statement . . . of , ,, Mr. \ v . and ... Ins 1 insoii, paid satellites, to, Lie contrary not withstand mg. Mr. Watson’s friends ,-hou 1 not forget Vinson’s venomous conduct during the Iasi. campaign, and one of the most powerful weap ; oils I'm Mr. Olive to use against Vinson is the fact that he is now holding a seat in Congress I gained by fraiid, and which rightfully belongs to Mr. Watson. Mr. Carl Vinson holds a seat in Congress i) spite of the fact that he was repudiated at the polls in the last election. He will not be able to use his fraudulent tricks again. If the Georgia Executive Committee per¬ mits the ladies to vote* in this primary, our friends should be wide awake aud see that the country people are prepared to assert their rights on election day. We do not know what will be done about it. Our friends should watch the daily papers and if the Committee rules that the women have the right to vote September 8th, let oim side he prepared to meet the issue with their ballots. If the City Club Women vote, tbe good women of tbe country districts have the same right, and we hope they will exercise it fear lessly. Mr. Watson Flays Foes In Speech At Washington Tuesday (Contilined from Page 1) (13) I favor the workman’s right to strike, to use his own m mey when he needs it; the right to hold peaceable meetings during strikes; the repeal of the atrocious Lever Law: also (lie immediate grant of independence to the Philippines, (14) 1 am in favor of giving this coun try what it wants, namely—Peace, and a with druwal from all European entanglements. (15) The people created the government of the State: the States created the Federal Government: the Fathers who framed the Constitution of the Fnited States were car enough to say, that the Federal Govern I merit should guarantee to every State “a re publican form of government.” The Fathers were careful enough to write j it into our Supreme Law, that all powers not delegated to the Federal Government, and j not denied to the States, REM AINED IN THE PEOPLE. Emm what source does Senator Smith de rive his authority to vote away our republican form of government? What did his oath mean to him, when he wore to defend, protect, and preserve tie 1 Constitution made by our Fathers? Who vested him with powers, not given him by the instrument he swore to defend and preserve? How can reservations be made by sworn preservers? What is there to hinder another Congress, or Supreme ('ouncil of the League, from nullifying those reservations? Nothing at ail. (Ill) 1 believe in the election by the peo¬ ple of Federal Judges, from lowest to highest ; aud l believe that candidates for President should be nominat’d by a direct rote of the people. We need never expect reform from the White House. The monstrous one-man Autocracy of Woodrow W ilson is too deeply intrenched at that end of the avenue, for any President to ever dislodge it. The work lias got to be done in the j Senate, Vou and have to a lesser what extent, few in the Senators House. seen a muld do, in repulsing Woodrow Wilson’s traitorous attacks upon tbe fundamental prill •iplos of our Government. 1 mention such intrepid Senat s as Reed, of Missouri; Shields, of Tennessee; Borah, of Idaho; Johnson, of California. If four Senators could prevent the be¬ trayal of your country to England and Japan, fifth one of the same sort would certainly I not weaken the barrier against Woodrow Wil j son’s surrender of your Independence to a : foreign League, which holds out to him the prospect—-so Mining to his little soul —of be | coming the first Emperor of the World, No flag above ours! No foreign * 'ongress issuing orders to ours! No foreign Congress assessing taxes against ours! No foreign bankrupt governments un¬ loading their debts on ours! No foreign land-grabbers; 'no coal and oil grabers; no foreign timber-thieves and international slave-drivers, ordering our ! young men to tight tor.England in Russia, in ■ Persia, in Mesopotamia, in Egypt, in the Arabian mountains and plateaus. No foreign Supreme Council ordering your sons to Syria, and to Turkey, or to Ger man Africa to fight for the booty which France lusts for, as her spoil of war—the War in which she said that she wanted noth ing more than her salvation from Germany. (17) 1 stand, and will continue to stand, for Government ownership of rail roads, tele i graphs, and telephones: will oppose those who j. to imite church and State: will combat : (ho<p who sppk to abridge, in the slightest dm-ree, the full freedom of the press, of re ] ;, r T 01 , s worship, and of “the utmost “ (1 m of 8 p eec ] lt ” which Wilson told tbe Pa Asians he had always advocated.

At last, we have a daily newspaper in Georgia. For a long time, this State was misrep¬ resented at home and abroad by a press pros¬ tituted to service of those Financial Barons who are determined to change the American mind, and to set up in this country, a Military Despotism, where the Civil authority will he under the heel of an officer aristocracy, and the civilian population reduced to the position of slaves for the Money Kings who have be¬ come favoritism. immensely rich by reason of Wilson’s Blind is the man unable to see the organ¬ ized effort now at work in this nation to forev¬ er destroy our ancient liberties. The encroachments of 1917, and 1918, have enormously strengthened the Special In¬ terests, and one of the most serviceable weap¬ ons they use against us is the prostitute press. The daily papers, with a few exceptions, doctor their news columns to suit the hoggish appetite of Big Money. A notable exception is The Atlanta Geor¬ gian. That paper is under the management of James B. Kevin, a native Georgian, who is unwilling to join the conspiracy organized to' put over the British League of Nations. Mr. Kevin lias been givena free hand in directing the policy of The Atlanta Georgian, and it will not be amiss for us to give you some facts about Air. Kevin. He is the son of Mitchell A. Kevin, a poor orphan boy of Augusta, who made good and married Aliss Helen Underwood, the accom¬ plished daughter of Judge John W. H. Un¬ derwood, a splendid Georgian, and the inti¬ mate friend of Alexander H. Stephens. At the time Georgia seceded, Judge Un¬ derwood was a member of the U. S. Congress, and he promptly cast his fortunes with the Confederacy. He died in that faith. It is fortunate for Georgians to be able to honor his grandson, by giving him encourage uent and support in his efforts to give us a lailv newspaper, such as The Georgian proved f o be in this campaign. Mr. Watson has said before and repeats now, that The Atlanta Georgian is the only daily newspaper in Georgia willing to give him fair treatment. With an impartiality born of a desire to give the public unbiased news, The Georgian is presenting the issues of this campaign with telling results. The people are able to read both sides, and the efforts of certain subsidized corpora¬ tion sheets to Palmerize this State, and Ka tion, will be considerably subdued on the Sth of September. We are not going to have any more Wil sonsini in this country. The crimes of 1917, and 1918, cannot safelv be repeated this year. This is 1920. No more Federal intimidation of free people will be tolerated. This fight is one forthe restoration of mr liberties, and the peoples’ victory, Sep f ember Sth, by the overwhelming election of Watson and. Hardwick, will be an emphatic leclaration of our intention to hare bach the •'nil enjoyment of our natural and Constitu¬ tional rights. GOOD WISHES FROM OGLETHORPE. Pear Sir: I have been an officer for 26 years, and I have never known of a negro being treated as you rere in Buford. No gentleman would have committed such an offense. 1 think the people should be convinced that the Hofficers Post No. 1, is in politics, and they are ly¬ ing on you. from the evidence of the soldiers. Front this County of Oglethorpe I don't know of but two men who have gone back on you since 1893. The good hook says do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I think this applies to the officers who arrested you and to Post No. 1. 1 notice that Hoke Smith and Gov. Dorsey have not condemned these people and I would be afraid to risk either of them, for if they let such a thing pass they would do worse when they get in. Here's hoping you beat them so far that they will never run again. Yours very truly. Ga. A. S. Jackson. SUBSRIBE TO THE GEORGIAN.
