this question seriously, Mr.. Watson,
and | am confident that you will
agree with me that it takes more
than simply the love of money to
cause men and women to make the
above mentioned sacrifices.
In your writings and speeches,
don't fail to tell what per cent. of the
missionaries have summer and winter
homes and domestic servants.
In word, Mr.. Watson, here is the
way you do in political matters: you
expose the wrong and approve the
right. So while you run on expos
ing the extravaganza and wrong Of a
few among the large number Of con-
verified Christian missionaries, turn
the other side Of the picture and tell
the vast amount Of good that is be-
ing accomplished in heather lands.
| should be real glad to see this
letter in the columns Of The Jeffer-
sonian, with your comment Frater-
nally, w. B. MCDONALD.

ANOTHER JOINS THE PROTES-
TANY LEAGUE.

Dear Friend: I enclose coupon to
join The Protestant League.
If l remember right, it was Cardi-
nal Gibbons who made the statement
a few years ago, that the Catholic
Church intended to do for these
United States what it had done for
other Catholic countries, and that
statement Of itself should be suffi-
cient to put all liberty loving people
on their guard, when the conditions
of those countries are understood,
where they have had control for hun
dreds Of years. What they have been
doing in the U. S., is no exception at
all; as they have had the protestants
to compete with here. May the Lord
protect and guide you to continue the
good work you are doing, for
many years, is the prayer Of yours
truly, GEO. WILLICOMBE.

A GENTLE OBJECTION TO MIR.
WATSON'S STAND ON FOR
EEGN MISSIONS.

Dear Sir and Bro: | have always
had the utmost confidence in your
honesty and sincerity in stating all
the facts i'll your discussions Of pO-
litical matters. But | am free to
confess to you, that l believe that
you are at the present time deceiv-
ing thousands Of unlearned and ig-
norant people on the Missionary
question, by failing to state all of the
facts in reference to the missionaries
and their work. Here is what | mean:
you continue to talk and write about
the summer and winter houses Of the
missionaries, and claim that these
homes are filled with a large number
of servants to wait upon the wives
Of the missionaries; you make a gen
eral application of the above state
ments and leave the false impression
upon the minds Of large number Of
your readers and hearers that all of
the missionaries have servants to
wait upon them. Such is not the
case. | am personally acquainted
with fifteen or twenty Of the foreign
missionaries Of the Christian Church,
eight or ten of this number were
classmates Of mine, when l was in
college. | saw some Of them who
were at home on a furlOugh, at our
national convention in Pittsburg, Pa,
in 1909, and they tell me that they
live in little twO-roOm cabins, with
no servants at all. Some of this num-
Der are in the dark continent of
Africa.
Furth ermOre, in contrasting the
salaries Of the foreign missionaries
with the preachers Of America, you
appear to be laboring with all your
might to show that the lure of money
is the real motive that prompts the
missionary to go to heather lands.
Such is ntO the case with the ones
that | am personally acquainted with
any more that it is true Of the preach
ers here in America. | think 1
know mems hearts desire to some eX-
tent, after l associate with them
closely for five years. | can truth
fully say that | honestly believe that
the only motive that prompts the mis-
siOnaries with whom | am acquainted
to go into foreign lands is the
love of lost souls. l could not think
otherwise, when | think Of their COM
Portable homes and surroundings

able home surroundings, such as

they would control everything; thus,
our legislators have to go home to
vote, and residents have no vote.
They were chit by the boomerang"
and know it. Thus it comes that
negroes are allowed in most of the
white schools of the North; the
wealthy white classes do not send
their children to such schools, but
the poor white large families are
compelled to do so, not being able
to pay for private schooling. The
whites, who were pioneers, and toll
ed to build up great public school
system, are forced to degrade their
children, by contact with the negro.
In some places negroes have not
been allowed in the white schools,
and in many counties, in Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois, the negro is not
allowed to stay over night; signs are
posted, reading thus: Niger don't
let the sun set on you here!" In fact,
they are generally abhorred in the
North, for their insolence, and abuse
of one they dare-I have seen SO
many examples of it, that my blood
has boiled at the sight. And nothing
would induce me to live North of the
Ohio River; and many leave for the
same cause.
One man said, "there is no such
thing as negro equality; if you don't
keep them down, they will keep you

Dear Mr.. Watson: We have a law

sponsibility upon himself to state
that you are telling lie about Chief
Justice White. This man is a new
conner here, having come here from
Oklahoma, but originally came from

knew that when you made the asser-
ton, that you were lying and only
did it to make an impression on the
public.
We would like for you to make a
statement in regard to this matter
in your Weekly Jeif, giving a full
history of the relations of White to

A THOUGHTFUL LETTER ON AN
INTERESTING TOPIC.

Dear Sir: We wish to continue with
your entertaining and instructive
Magazine, and would have sent the
subscription price before, but for an
injury which disabled us-a run
away.
We are not SOutherners, as your
printed letter suggests, but descend
ants Of New Englanders, for many
generations; but | need not assure
you we are not of the fanatical or
crank element. Our great-grand-
father, was Surgeon General on
Washington's staff, and his father,
a resident of Mobile, Ala, for several
years-and a slave holder; our fore
bears owner slaves in New England.
We see no need Of defense or apollo
gy, for our great and glorious Con-
situation. We see no Haunting line"
in our f1ag-and no league with
death in our wisely framed Consti-
tuition, which was the best that their
united wisdom, and patriotism could
devise. When they proclaimed that
all men were free and equal, they
of course, had no reference to the
slaves, who were neither-and were
not recognized as anything but prop
erty. The fact that some Of the
Northern Colonies, as we'll as South
ern, would not join the Union, un-
less they could have twenty years Of
slave trade, was not SO much as
mentioned in the United States his
tories of the North, which fact should
have been stated, as clearly, as any
other.
My father saw a menace to the
morals of the white race in the pres
ence of the negro and would have
sent them back to Africa. That they
were better off in bondage, did not
cOunt-we should protect our race,
and we should blush for those who
put the ballot in the hands of negroes
from the jungles; some of whom had
been imported as late as 1859, which
fact was known to many who voted
for the law,-to strengthen the Re-
publican party. Of course, the better
element opposed it, but unfortu-
nately the shameless element were in
the majority Cor could be bought
with the result that now all alike de-
plore and acknowledge il boomer
ang, for if they permitted the negro
to vote, in the District of Columbia,

HE URGES THE NECESSITY OF
THREE THINGS.
Stathan, Ga.

Dear Sir: This letter is to urge
the necessity Of three things. First,
Leadership, second, Patriotic leader
ship, and third, Loyalty.
These three things are INSOFAR
able and essential to the success of
any patriotic movement. What could
a great army of men accomplish with
out these three things? Their efforts
TO conquer would be in vain.
We the common people, have a
leader who is a leader and indeed
a patriotic leader, his name is T. E.
Watson. If you doubt it, look up his
record on public questions. For more
than twenty years you will find that
he has pursued the same noble pur-
poses and for all this time has been
as true to principles first advocated
by him, as is possible for any human
being to be. Now when We have to
furnish the votes to fight the battle
for political freedom under the lead
ership Of a recognized leader, and
statesman, we need a leader, and
ThOs. E. Watson has volunteered his
services long ago. Our comrades have
so far refused to organize, but let's
were formally organized.
Our Chief has said that if we want
to do the proper thing under the cir
cumstances in the Gubernatorial fight
we should elect Joseph M. Brown
Governor of the State Of Georgia.
How about it boys? Are you pre-
pared to follow our Chief in this de-
cisiOn? We have no use for a leader
unless we be loyal to his leadership.
He is on the watch tower, and he can
be trusted for he is at least able,
honest and true. He thinks this is
the best course to pursue to over
throw the Hoke-it-all political ma
chine, in this State. TIE clarion call
has been sounded; our duty is plain,
let us fall in line and fight while the
opportunity presents itself.
AS for my county, Appling, [ have
some suggestions to make for the
future. Our county goes for Joe
Brown every time, but the last time
we carried the county for Brown. and
let Hoke Smith representative in
the Legislature, at the same time, by
just very few votes. Note: We
lost our candidate for Governor, in
the State, and by neglecting our duty
to Joe Brown the Joe Brown candi-
date, Cor Representative, lost our
Representative to Hoke-it-all Smith
and, consequently our Representative
voted for Hoke-it-all Smith for the
u. S. Senate, therefore we have a
Hoke-it-all political machine built up
by appointments from the highest to
the lowest public office in this State.
And then to cap the climax Hoke-
it-all County Executive Committee,
represented our county in the State
convention notwithstanding the fact

made al the department:
The Department OF State finds II very
difficult 10 credit the authenticity OF such

10 the Mexican government as they are
fully understood In the United States.
The Department Of State has made every
effort 10 prevent any harmful misunder-
standing and there can hS no doubt that
