Ny Dear Mr.. Watson: The won
der Of the times, is to me, the
scholarly dupes who are going about
over the country yelling themselves
hoars9 Ter men and leaders who
stand for things and measures that
are direatly opposite to what they
(the dupes) and their people at
home have made @ most positive
and determined fight for. When [
say this I have in mind GONE CT the
politicians in this ate, Texas
Just last year We had Q great fight
for statewide prohibition, and some
OF cur most prominent political lead
ers were very jealous in that fight,
and seemingly did ell they could to
win the fight for the proposed consti-
>tuti0nal amendment. But when we
were defeated by the low down
whites, the negroes and the Mexi-
cans, as they said they diabanded a
strong prohibition organization and
faced about and went to work for
Woodrow Wilson to win the Demo-
cratic nomination for President of
the United States. Wilson was
nominated by fraud and trickery.
Then they hiked Off fer the North
to help him win the Presidency, and
We all know the results. But in
the meantime it has been made plain
to everybody, by Wilson himself, that
he is local optionist, and local OPP
ton was what we fought so hard
as an enemy to statewide prohibi-.
ton. Wonder what these leaders
will do next.
1t does look like the country is
doomed to be ruled by the tyranny
of the Roman Catholics. would be
glad to be able to help YOU in your
time of need, for it does seem like
your struggle is more than enc man
ought to have to bear. There is no
question but that if the Roman Cath
olics can do it, they will ruin you,
and for nothing but just the fact that
you have told the truth about them.
Responding to your call of few
weeks ago l am sending list of 3

Always hoping you will be spared
yet to so on with the coed work
you are doing, I am yours.

SOME OTHER BOOKS NfR. kCKEFS-
MAN SHOULD LOOK AFTER.

Dear Sir: Seeing in the Sunday
Constitution that Attorney Alderman
is continuing the suit against you,
and hoping to contribute one item
toward your defence l therefore
write to give you the following in
formation. In volume l CT Lewis
and Clark's Journal as published by
A. s. Barnes and Co., New York,
which purports to be an exact re-
print Of the 18th edition, you viii
find an account Of a Buffalo dance Of
some indians on the Missouri River,
given il Latin 1t is quite obscene
translated into English but appar-
emily has never been called 70 ac-
count by Alderman. The introduce
ton to the book was written by
TEo5. Jefferson, and have never
heard Of it's being knocked by any
preachers or priests on account of
the latin, nor does the edition say
tAat it cannot be mailed. 1t is in the
Carnegie Library here, and any
young UDsophisticated female can
have access TO it's contents at will.
Hoping that this will prove Of
some benefit in establishing the pre-
codent OF publishing such material
in Latin, and that you will be glo-
Ti0usly acquitted and continue your
expose OF the priesthood. l am,
Yours truly,

CAN'T GET JEFFs IN PHELADEI,-
PEfEA.

Dear Mr.. Watson: In the local
papers Of yesterday l observed that
the Federal Grand Jury had indicted
you On charge of abuse Of, the
mails. lnasmuch as have been in
terested in this case from the begin
mag, / felt an added interest in the
news OF yesterday. EIy view Of this
case from the facts as they have pre-
sent9d themselves is that the govern
ment has very weak, and ground
less case against you. Inasmuch as
the matter referred to by the govern
ment as Objectionable. and which
you sent abroad through your pub
iicatIon, has been for years, as YOU
have aptly stated, sent broadcast in
a copyrighted book, / hold that YOU
were no more guilty OF misuse of the
mails than the publishers of the book
from which the extract has been Ia
ken were, and are.
! am confident that when the case
comes up for trial next March you
will be OF necessity declared not
guilty Of any offense against the
government. That you are guilty of
an ofenSe against tie Roman Catho-
lie Hierarchy cannot be disputed,
and is q thing for which | for one
rejoice. Should the Roman Catholic
church not desire such facts dis
closed, they should erase them from
their creed.
1t might be interesting to you to
know that the Roman Catholic HER
archy rejoices in philadelphia at the
election Of two of her loyal sons
to the National House of Represen-
tatiVes, at the last election. Both
are Democrats. I must say I cannot
understand in view of the avowed in
tention Of Rome to make America
Catholic how any honest American
can apparently give his assent and
aid to that intention by giving to the
candidates in a position best to carry
out the purposes of Rome. his vote
being the means Of expressing his
Willingness that Rome should rule.
Surely the miserable past record of
the Hierarchy is sufficient warning
to man of any intelligence and
honesty to prevent a repetition of
what forms q series Of the blacklist
pages Of history in the course Of the
universe.
Your constant plea through your
periodicals for more attention among
the Protestants to Home Missions
and less to Foreign Missions is a
most timely and wise one. / am
heartily Of the opinion that America
should first bend her efforts toward
raising to high standard of NOR
atty the people Of this nation, then
being in an infinitely better position
to carry on with success her foreign
missions. That Rome is not idle in
this direction eenncio LIZ a,1nor o. IN,

EVERY PATRIOTIC AMERICAN
SHOULD BE INTERESTVD.

My Dear Friend: Every patriotic
liberty loving American, will watch,
with intense interest, the trial, III
which YOU are being prosecuted for
telling the truth, about the Roman
Catholic Iii srarchy.
1t is a shame that in this cnIight-
ened day Of the 10th century, such
thing should occur; for the theory Of
our government is, as every we'll
informed person knows, that error
of opinion may be tolerated SO Ions
as truth is left free to combat It,
[ predict that if the trial does take
place you will come eff more than
conQueTor, and | have firm faith
and abiding hope, that you Will final
ly triumph over all your enemies.
My prayer is that your life may be
spared many years, that you may
help solve the problems so essential
to Tire preservation and perpetuation
Of our blood bought liberties.

It is stated that a decision of such

thing heretofore attempted by organized
labor.
