' Mr. Watson's Blunder We quote from the New York Times, Mr. Watson's authority for his fight on the democratic nominee, and a school boy will see the error into which Mr, Watson's haste allowed him to fall. The Times of October 13th says, '"'Gov. Woodrow Wilson joined last night the New York Chapter of the Knights of Columbus at the dinner in cele celebration - bration celebration of Columbus Day at the Hotel Astor and drew trom the mem memories - ories memories of the day the lesson, that it was for Americans to see to 1t that the aspirations raised by the discoverer of 1492 should be preserved for all time," \ ' It is unfair for Mr. Watson or anybody else to 'draw from that statement the conclusion that Mr. Wilsor joined the order of Colum Columbus - bus Columbus on that occasion or at any other time. Kully aware of the great confidence that his followers have in all things eminating from him, and the readiness with which they are wont to believe every state statement - ment statement made by him without question or doubt, Mr, Watson in this in instance - stance instance has taken an unfair advantage of the credulence of his thou thousands - sands thousands of friends and starts his article with the misleading statement, "Wordrow Wilson joined The Knights of Columbus, in New York City, on the night of Octoter 12.", Many will be misled through fapaticisme into the error of believ believing - ing believing Mr. Wilson a memher of this Catholic order when in truth he was simply a guest at one of their gatherings in New York City. It is not our purpose to defend the Catholic Hiarchy, if such exists in this country or any other, but we deplore the attempt to inject religion into the affairs of State. __Avpy attempt to inject relig-ous prejudices into the political cam campaignes - paignes campaignes should be vigirously opposed by all liberty loving Americans. This Union was founded upon the principle of religious freedom. giving the right to all citizens to worship their God according to the ~dictotes of their own conscience. This vital principle has been the n>uclus around which this great Nation has been built and ,has pros prospered - pered prospered to its presert growth and achievements, the greatest Republic and longer lived than anv of the previous attcmpts of *""'Free Govern Government." - ment." Government."

Constitution. : What Savannah did in 15 years Fitzgerald can do in less time. We have the start, the symmetry, the well laid out streets, the permanent park reserves---we need to arouse public sentiment for the execution of the plans and the appropriation by the City Council of funds to perfect them.
