SLR OTS Me CA MAES A Prussian Parson ~ and Thomas Jefferson’ By the Rev. Thomas B. ‘Gregory i Sergright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) 'T is @ long call, both in time and in brain power, from Pastor Bohmeric ] to the Sage of Monticello! The pastor—a belated twin of Rip Van Winkle—is the narrow- minded hireling and advocate of Prussian Junkerdom, while Jefferson was the spokesman of the democracy which, since 1776, has overspread the whole world, with the exception of Prussia, wherein Pastor Bohmeric preaching the gospel of Junkerism, reminding us of the little old woman who with ber littie old broom tried to brush away from ker bean patch the Tising tide of the ocean, As all the world knows, an attempt was made a short time ago to et w bill through the Prussian Landtag giving equal suffrage to the male subjects of the King of Prussia, in place of the autocratic system of plural voting. The bill was killed by the enemies of democracy, and in one of the leading religious publications of his benighted Prussia Pastor Bohmeric delivers himself of his deep satisfaction in the following archaic language: “It was @ grand thing when a majority of fifty-two men of different Parties was found in the Prussian Landtag for the rejection of universa) and equal suffrage. We cannot regard it as anything less than a saving act of God. We believe that it is in opposition to every divine order to value ell men upon an equal basis, and that such an act of irreligion would be boand to bring a curse upon w Tt may be well to note that in Pastor Bohmeric’s opinion the rejection of the bill was a “GRAND THING.” It was a “grand thing” to keep the plain pedple of Prussia under the heels of the insolent, hard-hearted, tyrannical Prussian aristocrats! And this in the year 1918-142 years after Jefferson laid down the pen ‘with which he had just finished writing the Declaration of Independence! Poor old Parson Bohmeric! We are so sorry for you. deepest pity and compassion, And what @ curiosity you are! You have, indeed, “come down to us from a former generation,” and in antique charm and attractiveness you have got the trilobite and the cave bear and the woolly beat “all hollow.” Poor old Parson Bohmeric! Why, don't you know that the boys who have Bicrious teachings, of Jefferson's great Declaration of Independence are as “thick as hops” all along the line in Alsace-Lorraine, only a ‘ distant from the Rhine, and that long before th they will have knocked your Prussian Landt into “kingdom come?” Parson!
