My Dear Sir:-I come to you with
this further plea and proof of the
Hon. w. M. Towards duplicity and
his stand-patting with the Republi-
cans. Ernest Clodfelter, gin census
reporter of this county, appointed
last year at the death of his father,
former gin census reporter has been
fired from his job. There has been
no question whatever as to the cor
rectness of his past work; it has
never been questioned or corrected
by the Department. In consideration
of his past work he was mailed a con-
tract by the Department, and the
same he signed June II, 1910, and
forwarded to the Department. July
18th his contract was returned to
him, and letter accompanying stated
that his services were required no
longer, and hence the contract void.
We learn that one of the Hon. W.
MS warm supporters has been ap-
pointed. Mr.. Clodfelter was taking
no interest in politics. We see moth

900 Washington street, Atlanta, Ca
The following April I was arrested
in Kittannery, Pa, the town where l
was born and raised, and on three re-
QUESTION warrants returned to At

three hundred dollars from one Levi
Armstrong, and found guilty of a
misdemeanor on May 10, 1909, and
sentenced to Donaldson's changing

sand dollars, also six months in Full

charges were dismissed in open court
by Solicitor-General Chas Hill, and
he told Judge Roam to give me the
full extent of the law as he was not

DISGUSTED.

Dear Sir:-You have my sympathy
in your exposure of the ''deserters"
also in exposing the crooked and i'm
moral private life Of some Congress-
men in Washington. Congressman
who will entertain swell society hus-
sizes in the Congressional Office build
ing here, which was built at great ex-
pense to the taxpayers of this coun-
try, will seek an opportunity to sell
out to the tariff barons, the Whiskey
Trust, the Steel Trust, Railroad
Trust, or any other pernicious thing
for good bonus. I am perfectly
mortified at the conduct and the votes
of the representative from my own
district in Georgia-Charles Edwards
of the First Cngressinaal. How con-
ceited they are in their so-called
shrewdness that they can deceive the
farmers and the voters in general of
their districts. They can attend
church and then go and live with
low down society swells of this city.
Their constituents have right to
know how they conduct themselves in
the corrupt society of this city as we'll
as in the Congressional halls. I was
on to some of them before you ever
ally that not so long ago a hall of
card-players and champagne banquet
ers were raided by officers, and 'mong
the crowd was old Joe Cannon, who
is really of the same stripe as Bill
Howard and Charles Edwards and
Lon Livingston. | don't see how he
can have the face and the courage to
go before the people speaking to them
as he is doing now. I am mortified
that the people would turn out and
pay any attention to him. I have a
copy of Mr.. Cannon's speech before
me this morning in The Post deliver
ed at Burlingame, Kans., on the 18th
inst, and it is certainly nauseating.
Wishing you success in your work,

ty are permitted to ride on the street
cars anywhere they please without
being required to pay fare. In fact,
the conductors are instructed at the
beginning of their service not to re-
quest them to pay any car fare. No
other religious or benevolent society
in the city is accorded this privilege.
What was the understanding and
consideration between the parties in
the affair?
8. Is there any church or denomi-
nation in the United States that owns
and controls military school where
military tactics are taught to their
young men? If so, give me the name
or names In Atlanta the Roman
Catholic church owns and controls
just such a military school. What
business or right has church to be
engaged in making soldiers? Are
these soldiers made for the govern
ment of Uncle Sam? or are they
made for the Pope of Rome, if oc-
casiOn should demand their use?
Does this Government furnish money
to the Catholic church to make these
soldiers? The fact that this church
is engaged in the soldier-making
business, seems to me to be entirely
out of harmony with the genius of
our government, and an Infringement
on her sole right. In this business
the Catholic church is violating
Christian principles and interfering
with the governmental prerogative-
she is acting both un-Christ-like and
un-American-like

Answer.
(1.) You are quite right in sug-
costing that our State School System
needs overhauling. In Macon, Sa-
vannah, and Augusta, according to
my information, a certain portion of
the school fund is turned over to the
Catholic Church
CD The fact that the Sisters of
Charity are not charged car fare on
the street-cars is simply another
proof of the covert control exercised
by the Hierarchy over the Corpora
tons and the men who control our
Government.
60 The Catholics teach military
discipline because military discip-
line imposes obedience, and ODE
dience is what the Hierarchy wants.

AND GILLESPIE GOT LEFT, TOO.

My Dear Mr.. Watson:-A recent
letter from the Hon. O. w. Gillespie
shows that you make those even
away from Georgia take notice. Our
Jeffs are just beginning to fight, and
just as soon as we put that 200
strong behind you there will be some
thing doing sure enough.
The reason that Mr. Gillespie gives
for voting with the Taft crowd and
the New England manufacturer, put.
ting hides on the free list. is that he
was AFRAID that the Meat Trust
was controlling the hide market.
With this excuse he votes against his
own State and district. The statis-
tics in the Congressional Record
show that 100000 animals are
slaughtered every year in the United
States and that only 100000 are
slaughtered by the packing houses,
the balance by the farmers and
butchers. | say that shoes and
leather products have been raised in
price, and the tanners and manufac-
turers NOW put into into their own
pockets that s2,10O,OOO which the
Government formerly got and the
people pay that much more taxes on
to reduction in price on all cattle
in Texas to something like 62 1-2
per head on an average We have to-
day something like 100000 head
of cattle in Texas. so the loss to the
cattlemen and farmers Of this State
is $5,625, 900. The former duty on
hides was 80 cents. The manufac-
turer paid the Government this when
he imported the hide Now, since
hides are on the free list, he paws
nothing to the Government and saves
the 80 cents. The manufacturer
places his price on the finished prod
uct just little less than the foreign
er and keeps him out of the market
The manufacturer has all the bene-
fits, and the producer and consumer
have all the burdens to stand. Before
our Congressman helped to put hides
on the free list, the manufacturer
paid two million Of this tax and the
consumer paid two million. Now the
consumer pays all and the manufac-
CANT, pays none.
Mr.. Gillespie says he cares precious
little what Mr.. Watson says concern
ing his work Or record in Congress-
The time is rapidly approaching when
not only Mr.. Gillespie, but all the
balance of the DO-NOTHINGS, will
be hurled from power by Mr.. Watson
and his partner, Old Man Peepul.
With kindest and best wishes.
I am yours very truly

MIR. WATSON FAVORED TAX ON
DOGS.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I wish might
ly that at this particular juncture
you might be willing to read DR..
Slack's article in the Journal-Record
of Medicine, Atlanta, Ca, on rabies
in this State, for the cure of which
Georgia is spending $4,000 year.
The increase of hydrophobia in Geor-
gia is alarming; S37 per cent. in less
than ten years, and yet, strange to
say. there is a strong sentiment even
in the Legislature against a license
tax on dogs, and no law at all requir-
ing the muzzling of dogs.
The returns already show that the
dog license tax will turn into the
common school fund nearly 500, 900.
1t is a little hard on the dogs, but it
looks mighty good for the common
school children of the State.
BY the way, if you will look at the
last report of the State School Com
missioner you will notice that the
machinery of the State is apportion-
ing the common school fund between
the blacks and whites, not upon
prorata basis, but in ways that pro-
tect this fund and the white children
in the common schools. l enclose
you an extract from DR.. Stacks arti-
Gle, and also the brief facts that l
have been urging in favor Of dog Ii
cense tax law. You could come near
er setting Old Man Peepul on this
proposition than any man in the
State.
Your public letter on the ratifca-
ton of the Income Tax Amendment
settled that matter in jiffy. There
has been no more important piece of
legislation in Georgia in fifty years,
and you have conferred no greater
benefit upon your State than by this
same public letter.
Cordially yours,
E. C. BRANSON, President.
State Normal School, Athens, Ga.
Comment
l did not mean to be understood
as opposing the dog tax. AS mat
ter of fact, when member of the
Legislature in 1882, introduced such
a bill myself; but I thought it was
horribly inconsistent for this Legis-
lature to tax the poor mans dog, and
then to gag at taxing the rich mans
net income. What Professor Bran
son says about the increase of hydro
phobia should attract general atten-
ton. In nearly every community in
this country, there is an overplus of
worthless dogs. A mistaken kind
ness toward these four-footed ami
mails is the cause of the death of
many human being T. E. w.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 23.-An in
terested visitor to Devils Lake this
week was Charles E. Patten of Fon du
Lac. Wis, now grey headed, who is
probably one of the few men now liv-
ing who visited the Devils Lake region
as early as 1851.
In 1861, just forty nine years ago
this month, Mr.. Patten, then an adj
venturesome lad of II years, accom-
panied his cousin and a party of En-
glishmen who started from st. Paul on
a trip west to hunt buffalo. There
were six in the party. This was be-
fore the Cut Head Sioux and Chippe-
ways were fighting each other.
Mr.. Patten carried with him little
memorandum book, which is still in
good state of preservation, in which
he noted the incidents of each day.
The last signs of habitation of white
men the party left behind at Otter
Tail on the Red river, later known as
Georgetown, where the Sheyenne river
empties into the Red river
The party travelled about twenty
miles a day, and after several days out
from Georgetown they came in sight
of Devils Heart, which was then
known among the Indians as Chontea,
which in the Indian language means
observation or look out.
They camped on the west side of
Devils Heart on Sept. IA. This was
a notable day on the trip, as the party
sighted the first herd of buffalo The
next day the party went into camp
where Fort Totten is now located and
they remained there several days,
shooting a number of buffalos
In those days there was plenty OF
small game, and hunting for buffalo,
elk, deer and antelope was especially
good. The memorandum book which
Mr.. Patten kept records the fact that
the wolves did considerable bowling
at night.
On Sept. "a, and when the par
ty had Travelled west to the west shore
of the lake, they were captured by a
band of 800 Sioux Indians, of which
Irfls Paduta was chief. Up to this time
Sitting Bull had not come into promi-
hence as an Indian chief. Everything
of value was taken from them, their |
horses shot. harness cut. and all they
had left was the clothes they had on |
their backs. "A rival band Of Indians
came UP and they obtained possession
OF the prisoners. One of the party Of |
hunters could talk Indian and the riv-
al tribe proved to be friendly AS a |
result they were given an escort for
q short distance and started afoot for
Georgetown. They were nine DAYS

MYSTERY ABOUT
DAVIES DEATH
NO KNOWN REASON FOR HIS BE-
ING WHERE he WAS WHEN Ac.
cIDENT OCCURRED AT DEVILS
LAKE YESTERDAY MORNING
JOURNALS ACCOUNT.

The Devils Lake Journal has the
Following account of the death Of Ed.
Davies, the former Fargo man whose
death was chronicled in The Forum
last evening:
| About o'clock this morning. Ed.
Davies, q horse dealer of Fargo. was
run over by a switch engine in the
Great Northern yards in this city at
a point about half way between the
roundhouse and the stock yards, and
instantly killed.
The engine was backing toward the
city. The night was dark and foggy,
and Brakeman E. III. Boyer, who was
riding on the foot-board, did not see
the man until the engine was within a
few feet of him. The mans body was
caught under the tender In some man
ner and dragged about $50 feet until
the engine was brought to stand
still. The right foot was cut off and
the skull fractured, death resulting in
stantly.
The engine was in charge of Engi-
neer Keene and Fireman Skar.
Coroner Gflbertson was notified i'm
mediately and arrived on the ground
soon after the accident occurred. The
remains are now at the morgue await
Ing orders from relatives of the de-
ceased.
1t has been learned that Davies has
a family at Fargo, and Corner Gil
bertson has been endeavoring to get
in communication with Mrs. Davies
today, but at a late hour this after
noon his efforts had been unsuccessful.
Very little is known of Davies here.
A number of people say they noticed
the man around town yesterday. The
remains were identified by letters
found in the clothing worn, and $50 |
was found in a purse.
What seems strange is that the man
should be wandering around in that |
part of the city at such an hour, and |
the only explanation made which |
seems at all plausible is that the man |
was under the influence of liquor and |
was wandering around aimlessly.
