God pitty those weak-kneed, jelly
fish back-bone Protestants who are
afraid to stand by you in your noble
fight, they are 'not worthy to be
called Americans. I see President
Wilson has vetoed the immigration
bill. Wonder if Cardinal Gibbons
told him to do so? If his pet Secre
tary Tumulty told him to do so?
I see Brooks County is ready for
the Belgians. Well I will venture
to say that if they get them they
will be like the Irishmna who got
the coon. Two Irishmen saw 5
coon up a tree, and said, “Hould on
Pat till go ulp the tree and get
.hould of him.” He went up the tree
THE JEFFERSONIAN
and got hold of the coon and the
coon got hold of him. The other one
said, “Have yer got him,” “Yes,”
said the one up the tree, “I have got
hould of him, come on up quick and
help me turn loose of him.”
After Brooks County gets them
they will be wanting some one to
help them turn them loose. By the
way I sent you a clipping from the
“Georgia Bible,” The Atlanta Con
stitution. While this poor old ex-
Confederate soldier is arrested for
begging bread because he was hungry
and put in jail, the “Big Bugs” were
begging for $70,000 to pay for a lot
of people to come to Atlanta and
sing. But none of them were ar
rested. While we are falling over
each other to send provisions to the
poor Belgians, thousands of Ameri
cans are cold, ragged and hungry.
