WATSON HEARD;
Gets $500 BAIL
Hearing Is Attended by Big
Crowd, and McDuffie Editor
Is Bound Over.

AUGUSTA, GA, June Thomas E.
Watson was bound over to the Federal
court by United States Commissioner
Goodwin Friday in the sum of $780, on a
charge of sending obscene matter
through the mail
The hearing lasted for two hours and
twenty minutes and was replete with
interest throughout. Mr. Watson's
brother, Mr.. ]. F. Watson, signed the
bond. which is returnable to the next
session of the Federal court in Augusta
in March or April.
Mr.. Watson based his defense first
on the question of the warrant being
sworn out for him personally, when
The Jeffersonian Publishing Company
was responsible, and second, upon the
motive he had in publishing the alleged
obscene matter.
Commissioner Goodwin overruled Mr..
Watson's objection that his magazine
be submitted as evidence. Mr. Wat
son objected because his name did not
appear as the publisher.
Mr.. Watson said that he was an Ameri
can facing accusation, but there was
no accuser present who could be held
responsible for malicious prosecution
In case he was not found guilty in the
court
District Attorney Alderman replied
that he himself was entirely RESPONSE
BILE for the accusations
Mr.. Watson read from various books
which are protected by the copyright
and in which there are obscene pas
sages but the district attorney held
that was no excuse.
In summing up the evidence, Mr..
Alderman said that it made no differ
ence how good Mr.. Watson's motives
were, the United States supreme court
held that any matter which passes
through the mails that tends to deprave
and which is obscene is sent in viola
ton of law.

a pardon. He has been confined in
the penitentiary for a period of near
ly three years, and this fact, together
with developments since his convic-
ton, in our judgment make it prop
er that he be granted a pardon"
The entire theory of the pardon is
that Mrs. Lula Wiltcher having been
acquitted, it necessarily follows that
Lee Wiltcher is absolutely innocent,
the jury in the woman's case being
doubtless correct in its finding, and
that in Lee Wiltcher's case being
wrong.

The Reuben Car
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of "At Good Old Siwash"

The Reuben car is large, awk-
ward, business-like trolly car which
ambles into the city. from the coun-
try and like country boys who come
to the city, makes the said city hum.
The Reuben car travels by cleo
tricity and connects the farm yards
and country lanes with Main street
in Peoria and GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and
Leavenworth, Kan. 1t holds sixty peo-
pie and enough butter and eggs to
pay the taxes on a dozen farms. 1t
isn't swift and it isn't handsome, but
it is accommodating and it's useful
ness is determined by the number of
times it stops. Every time a Reuben
car stops it makes money for its own
er and helps business. 1t will stop
for farmers child going to school
or baseball team going to town, or
hen who is publishing her morning
edition of prosperity, and 1t is never
too hurried to throw off a morning
paper at a crossroad or to wait while
farmers wife washes off her hands
and climbs aboard with jar of
butter.
Thousands of farmers, who have
spent their lives watching limited
railroad trains elbow their way
through live stock at the rate Of sixty
miles an hour, now go down to the
crossing at the end of the southwest
forty and hold up three fingers to a
patient motorman in overalls. Then
they hike into the city and partake

Lee WIL7CHER VERY
ANXIOUS FOR
PARDON
CONVICTED OF COMPLETELY IN
MURDER OF HIS BROTHER
HAS SERVED YEARS.

Jackson, Oct. 16-The latest peti.
ton for pardon received at the Gov.
ernor's office is in behalf of Lee Wilt
cher, serving life term in the peni-
Tertiary for participation in the MUIR
der of his brother John Wilcher.
This is the crime for which Mrs
Lulu Wilcher, wife of the dead man,
was tried and acquitted at the last
term of criminal court in Jackson, the
case having been brought here on
change of venue from 'Yazoo county.
Mrs Wiltcher's acquittal was a pro-
found surprise to the state, and ac-
counted for only on the theory that
the jury didn't want to find a woman
guilty, as the evidence presented was
precisely the same as that upon which
Lee Wiltcher was coveted, and which
also resulted in the negro Will Price
being sent to the penitentiary for
life. The latter turned states evil
dence and told the revolving story Of
how he had been hired by Mrs. Witch
er to commit the crime, being after
wards threatened with death if he did
not do so.
The petitioners in behalf of Lee
Wiltcher say that certain develop
nents since his conviction make it
he duty of the Governor to grant him

of it literally. Cities which have
large attendance of Reuben cars from
all directions can be. distinguished by
the large throngs Of wotkihsh' widen
ing the stUfeeH doors, and Miners Who
live whefel they can iass6 a Reuben
car at antohSur's notice, have piano
las in their paflors, read the baseball
scores and can't be fooled''by patent
medicine peddlers any more.
The Reuben car brings the richness
of the country into the city and scat
tiers the seasoning of the city through
the country. 1t has filed the country
with fine interurban farm homes and
has made the Chautauqua the fall fes-
tival, the department store and the
produce markets wax great in the
land. The Reuben car goes after it's
passengers instead of making them
hunt depot and wait for it, and it
takes them when they want to go
instead of when a division superin-
tendent 100 miles away says they will
have to go.
! The Reuben car saves farmers
wives from the asylum by taking them
! to the moving picture shows after the
chores are done, and 1t saves city men
from hospitals by dragging them into
the country and tempting them with
farms. There will not be a perfect
land until it has as many Reuben cars
as 1t has rural routes, and every farm
as well as every city is provided with
ample means of escape. Copyright

study these prices and to suggest any
possible reduction in cost that may

Under the system adopted no tax is
imposed on the pupil by reason of any

tickets, proceeds of which are credited
to the boarding expense account.

THE SOCIAL EVIL.

Mayor GaynOr'S remarks to the committee of the board of alder men Investigating police condi- lions in New York might well be pOndcrcd by all who have lO deal with that form of vice euphrmis- tically known as the social evil. II prevails more openly in larg" cities than in small. and perhaps more generally, in proportion to the population. for the simple reason that visitors rather than residents make it profit able. Men are less careful of appearances abroad than at home. New York, therefore, as the center of the largest floating population on this Sldr of the Atlantic, presents the problem of dealing with Ih" so- rial evil in iiS most acute form. The police may have failed in rhcir duty in some respects or have yielded to the forces of cor rupiion m individual cases; but the ultimate responsibility rest s upon inc public conscience. When that is moro acute, when men cannot commit with inrpunity acts which put women under tho han, when inc pursuit of vice is no longer compatible with respccta- biliIy. then a real beginning will have been made at an apparently hcrculcan task. E..
 Simply to disclose disreputable resorts and drive tho inmates out upon the street and keep them moving on" from one apartment io another is not to solve the problem. There arc objections
 it. is true, io tho policy, attributed to Mayor Gaynor of merely pre- serving outward deccncy. Nor i4 Inc policy of regulation, usually pursued, in the cities of Conti- mental Europe, one that English speaking people have viewed with cOmplacency. Yet it is obvious that there is a distinction between vice and crime, and that to ignore
