We are going to cut out our prem
ium offers. Our magazine and week
ly have grown big enough and strong
enough to live without premiums.
These premiums are very expensive,
and we feel that it is to the best in
terests of our subscribers to take the
money that the premiums cost, and
put it into the Improvement of our
publications. The principle is the
same as that involved in any store
which uses trading stamps. The
purchaser pays for the stamps, as a
sufficient percentage is added to the
cost of the goods to cover the pre-
iums which the store offers to it's
customers. In the same way, pub
LEGATION which uses premiums allows
it's subscribers to pay the cost Of the
premiums by getting out a cheaper
periodical. You cannot get some
thing for nothing, and we believe our
subscribers and readers would rather
have better paper and magazine
than any premium which we could
offer them.
In the case of the Watson books,
which we publish, we shall still offer
these in exchange for certain num-
Der Of subscriptions, as the books are
doing an educational work, and by
that means are helping to extend the
influence of The Jeffersonians.
The rain on the 4th Of July came
just in time to hinder the organiza-
ton of our Protestant League. You
all know the strenuous and unsuc-
cessful efforts that the Roman Catho-
lie Church is making to cripple our
business. They have boycotted us.
This is a blow not only to the free
dom of the press, but to the liberty
of religious thought. If ours were
the only case, we would have no
right to ask others to join us in or
ganiZing a league for defense, but the
alliance which the Catholic Church
has entered into, in every large city
in the United States, with the saloon
keeper and those politicians who are
gives them political control that is
dangerously affecting the whole coun-
try. We will try to form a tempo
rary organization of Protestant
League, or rather a league for the
maintenance of religious liberty, in
the next few weeks. In the mean
time we would like to hear from all
those who are interested in this i'm
portant subject.
Don't forget that for each yearly
subscriber to The JefRersonian at
$1.00 we will mail you a picture of
Mr.. and Mrs. Watson at home. We
will also send the same picture to
the subscriber. You can send us two
new subscribers to The Jeffersonian
for three months at % cents each,
and we will mail you the picture
free.
We want you to give all the help
you can to our new state managers,
Mr.. Geo. W. Threlkel, of Montgom-
cry, Ala, and Mr.. Ben l.. Griffin, of
Little Rock, Ark. These are both
good men and good Jeffersonians,
who will extend the circulation of
The Jeffs in their respective states,
and our friends should do all they
can to help them.
In Georgia, Mr.. J. J. Brown, Of
Bowman, is organizing the League Of
