SOME WOULD RATHER CHERISH
ERRORS THAN BE CONVINCED.

Dear Sir:-You have many friends
and well-wishers in this district, and
when the people can be induced to
read your articles they invariably
agree with you. Of course, there are
some rank partisans who are so bias
ed they had rather cherish their err
rors than be convinced of the truth.
However, we must bear patiently
with them, for time brings wonder
full changes, and it is never too late
to mend. Your recent experience in
Atlanta was enough to discourage the
stoutest-hearted reformer and cham
pion of the people, but it is an i'll
wind that doesn't blow somebody some
good, and the sentiment of all fair
minded people is against such out
rageous methods, and they will sure
ly prove a boomerang on the insti-
gators and eventually confound them.
There is not the least doubt about it
being the means of making you many
friends and supporters. 1t is indeed
time for people to begin to reflect,
when Free Speech is trembling in the
balance. l am sure the good people
OF Atlanta must be deeply resentfuI
against the ones who brought such a
ulSSTace On the name OF their fair
city. We must surely have reached
the climax, when man to satisfy his
ambition for office spends over double
the amount of his salary for the term
to be elected. I don't see much hope
for the poor but worthy candidate
who desires to serve his country
faithfully and periodically, and if
the lavish use of money and other
methods are not speedily put a stop
to there is no telling where this gov
eminent will drift to. 1t can't very
we'll get much worse, and can only
end one way.
With best wishes for your further
success, | remain
Yours sincerely,
w. r. LUNSFORD.

A TEXAS MANS IMMIGRATION OF
MIR. WATSON:


MIR. WATSON,
Editor Home and State, Dallas,
Texas:-The following appeared in
your issue of September 10, 1910:
Tom Watson, erstwhile candidate
for high national honors on the now
defunct Populist party ticket, has
lately been stepping into the lime
light in his own state of Georgia. He
is very much disgruntled at the nom
lnation of Hoke Smith for governor
in the late primaries and was desir-
GUS of bringing out an Independent
candidate. But he fails to get a fol-
lowing. At speech in Atlanta he
was Kissed by his audience until he
was forced to leave the stage. Wat
son as student and historian has
contributed something to the ma
tons good, but as a politician of the
ranting, roaring, fussing and fun
ing kind, he has benefited his coun-
try none"
Mr.. Watson was a member of con-
gress from March 4, 1891, to March
4, 1898, term of only two years.
During this one term he introduced
and secured the passage of the Au-
tomato Car-Coupler Act, which has
been of inestimable value to railroad
employees. Also the Anti-Pinkerton
Detective resolution, which killed
that organization which was used to
brOw-beat and Overawe laborers dur
ing strikes and for many other unholy
purposes and for no good. And also
the greatest of all, he introduced and
secured the passage of the first Free
Rural Route law, which system has
permeated the whole country and
proved one of the greatest blessings
ever brought to rural populations
and OF which your paper, Home and
State, enjoys it's accommodations
Either of these measures is worth
more to the people of this country
than all the legislation by your idol,
Senator Bailey, in all these nearly
twenty years in congress.
Prior to his term in congress he
led the fight against the Jute Trust,
that resulted so gloriously to the
farmers of the south. And prior to
that he served term in the Georgia
legislature and secured the passage
of county local option bill, under
the terms of which some counties in
Georgia have enjoyed prohibition for
twenty-five years.
It is needless to catalogue more
of his achievements. Suffice it to say
that he has for twenty years advo-
Gated all the measures that now
make w. J. Bryan and Theodore
Roosevelt popular. How Home and
State, a paper that claims to es-
pecially stand for civic righteousness
can so far forget the truth as to say
that she has benefited his country
none" is beyond human ingenuity to
discover. And for you to Islander a
man who is heroically fighting for
reform is to discourage men who
hope for better conditions.
According to the Atlanta papers,
Mr.. Watson had an audience of seven
or eight thousand people to hear him
and the "hissers" were composed of
a few hundred scalawags who were
kept drinking all day for the pur-
pose. For you to indirectly COM
mend this crowd at the expense of
Mr.. Watson is nauseating. 1t seems
as if Home and State now desires to
haul down it's flag of reform and join
those who delight to traduce and hui
initiate any man who labors to bet
