Selma, Ala, July 8, 1909.
Rev. R. M. Archibald,
West End, Birmingham, Ala.
My Dear Sir
| just want to write and tell you
how much | appreciated reading Mr..
Thos. e. Watsons all-too-mild replv
in the current issue of his weekly,
The Jefersonian, to your attack
on him in recent number of the
Alabama Christian Advocate. My
face looked like wave on a. slop
bucket when l read it and the freckle
brigade encamped on my two retir-
ing cheeks had to hot-hoof it to the
tall timber.
| have no excuse for butting in on
this discussion, except that l want to
express my regret at the show of
temper and teeth many of our min
lstrs of the gospel are making at Mr..
Watson. It's all right to take issue
with the man. but why not establish
the rumor that they are teachers and
followers of the meek and Iowly One,
and at least show the ear-marks of
the gentleman and fight Mr.. Watson
with facts and not foul-mouth per-
sonal abuse? This is at least worth
trial. Of course it may be Iese
maJests (whatever that isl for a red
headed newspaper man to even hint
that minister is not infallible, yet
despite that glazing fact, my little
dried-up soul won't permit me to re-
frain from exuding from the pores of
my pink kivered brain garage the
mild suggestion that it is barely pos
sible in this Foreign Mission instance
that Tom Watson is RIGHT and his
argument can't be met. No man
who knows him will question his mo-
t1ves. He himself is a devout Bap-
fist Christian-he is as honest as the
days are long. I believe, sometimes.
that he has the welfare of his fellow
being nearer at heart than many of
those ministers who are heaping
coarse villification upon him. He
may be wrong oftimes as regards his
notions about how the Government
ought to be run-although it's
mighty hard to prove when you come
to think of it-but on most PROPOSE
tons, were we all blessed more with

what He Wrote TO Archibald

charity and tolerance of opinion, and
freed from prejudice, a majority of
the people are bound to admit that
he is right. He has proven the
Righteousness of his contention with
simple facts and figures that he is
DEAD RIGHT about Foreign Mis-
sions. If you will keep your head as
coolly as Watson has, read every is
sue of both his publications since
about April last, will reply to him in
the spirit Jesus teaches us is correct.
and rout his stand by logic, reason.
facts and f1gures-prove that he is
wrong, I'll see to it that the biggest
side of Dallas County pork is sent
you express prepaid-and we raise
some fine meat down here, too. If
on the other hand, you are unable to
meet him, don't you think it due Mr..
Watson and the cause you espouse
to make an apology to him? Are
you not that fair-minded There are
thousands of people who are with
him In this fight and you may bet
your hosiery he's going to win. He's
played fair and has abused no one
He has the facts to back him.
There's something which has ceased
to live up the little brooklet some
So,
what reason is Watson abused, when
he has proved that he is right?
am not getting paid for writing
this, although l think I ought to be
don't you? Don't know Mr.. Wat
son personally, but have read eyery
word he has written for the past FIVE
years and regard his as one of the
master minds Of this generation, and
nave learned to admire him very
much. AS little as you may think
OF it, | am also a Christian-a Bap-
tist-and all my kinfolks are. I sim
ply take this opportunity to try to
make you and others think little
thus locating the error of your way.
BE sure to read the current issue of
the Jeffersonian; it's interesting in
some ways.
Don't get sore at me- My motives
are genuine.
Most sincerely

A Little Further On.

The place he lived in never suit ed; he hankered to be gone; and SC he packed his grip and scooted. 8 little further on. A while he paused in our calm valley. where all the virtues bloom, but left it for a frowsy alley. and seventh story room. And when of city life he wearied. he northward turned his toes. and hired an Eskimo. and Pearyed among the Artic snows. And when of toes about a dozen were icy, stiff and stark. he left these regions, white and frozen, for jungles hot and dark. His youthful friends grew fat and wealthy. with children at their knees. and made their homes in climates healthy, but he'd have none of these. Some other place was always better than that where he abode, and so. on snowshoes or in sweater. again he hit the road. And when this wanderer was dying, one cold and dreary dawn. "I'll have some fun." they heard him signing, "a little farther on!''-- Ex.
