FLORIDA EDITOR OFFERS
HELP.

Dear Friend: 1t gives me much
pain to read of your arrest and to
see that we have now a government
Of persecution and not prosecution.
Everyone who understands conIii-
lions of which you write, if he would
be honest, cannot help but stand
with you in the great fight you are
making to ameioriate the conditions
or the common people. Judging
from what you say about quoting
from a book that was copyrighted
in this country and circulated
through the mails you should have q
very easy case to overcome. re-
gard your chapter on the Hierar-
chy in this issue as one of the most
powerful that you have yet written
and if it could be read by the whole
people the influence would be so
marked in this country that our Off
ces, including Judges, would not in
any way be controlled in their duty
to the public by it.
In the opposition to YOU in the
convention at Atlanta it would GER
tainly disgust any able, honest man,
and to me it was very plain that the
rabble had been organized for your
humiliation. A phase of our peo-
pie who neither have knowledge to
guide nor principle to control them.
They are the rule or ruin kind. A
phase that you and l are fighting
and every newspaper man in the
United States is or should fight.
Let me know if you think there
W no IN
trial and I will see what can be
started up in your behalf, as think
it should be a peoples fight against
the Government that is permitting
itself to be used by set of rapscall-
ions who would ruin the world if by
SO doing they could advance them
selves materially or politically.
With very best wishes, I am,
Sincerely your friend,

SOME QUESTIONS WHOSE AN
SWElsS ARE OBVIOUS.
SONfE,
Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Dear Sir and Friend Of the Poor:
have some questions l wish to ask.
First. Has there been President
elected since the War of the Sixties
but has come into his office by the
power of money?
Second. Does not the President
appoint the Supreme Bench of
Judges?
Third. And is it not plain that he
would only appoint such as were
friendly to his source of election.
Fourth. Does not this court ex-
anime all laws passed by the law
making bodies Of the nation as to
their constitutionality and only such
as they choose becomes law?
Fifth. And is it not plain that
they would and do rule out every
law that is against the welfare of
rich trusts and corporations?
Sixth Does not the corporations
run over the poor individual or firm
and confiscate their property and
rights and even kill or cripple them
at will?
Seventh. And when law is resort
ed to and goes against the corpora
ton, do not they invariably appeal
to the Supreme Court and gain their
suits?
Eighth. Could they be expected
to go against the power that gave
them life?
Ninth. On the whole, does not
the appointing power crush the life
out Of our franchise power?
Tenth. And are we, in the full
sense of power with our boosted lib
erty, any better off than poor, down
trodden Russia?
Please answer in jeff

NOT SURPRISED TO LEARN OF
ARREST.

MY Dear Mr.. Watson: 1t was no
surprise when / saw in the Balti-
more Sun some days since that YOU
would be arrested for sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails. 1T
is currently understood in these
parts that the Sun is controlled by
the Catholics.) This action on the
part OF the Hierarchy will surely
have the effect to awaken Protest
artisan to a sense of its danger. and
all liberty loving Americans who
have red blood within them to rouse
from their slumber of security and
come to your aid, if not, then we
might as we'll lie supinely down and
take the dose which Rome has long
had mixed for America.
Will we do so? My prayer to God
daily Is that every man and woman
who loves life and liberty will come
as one man to your assistance and
teach the Roman wolves that they
must keep their filthy hands from
the throat of liberty. Be of good
cheer and full of your old time seour-
age and fire, and continue to EXPOSE
Roman rottenness as no other man
mas dared 70 do, and the friends will
be with you.
Would it be possible for you to
come to ROmney from the Baltimore
convention, and give our people an
address faVoring the amendment to
our State Constitution prohibiting
the sale and manufacture of spiritu-
Gus liquors? The distance from Bal
timere here is about 200 miles, or
$50 from Washington.
feel that a visit to our town
would be helpful to you as we'll as
our selves. Would be delighted to
have you spend some time with us
and rest up.
If not too great a tax on your time
will thank you for a reply.
Truly your friend, admirer and
follower.

PROSECUTION APPEALS TO AN
GLO-SAXON BLOOD.

Dear Loyal: | can't say that I
regret your prosecution more than
anybody else, for I feel that your
circle of friends is as extensive as
any man in America, but I can truly
say that the shameful prosecution,
now in progress against you, appeals
to every drop Of Anglo-Saxon blood
that is in nae, and as an unworthy
follower of the meek and lowIy
Nazarene and a true friend of Hon.
Thos. e. Watson, you can rest as
sured that you have my full sympa-
thy. l don't believe that the Goa in
Heaven will suffer you to be de-
feated by such foul, biood-thirsty.
red-handed Babylonian mob.
Keep us posted through the Jeffs.
If | am able l want to attend the
trial. May God bless and keep you
from harm, is my prayer.
Yours against Roman Catholicism.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A BAPTIST PREACHERS KINDLY
LETTER.

Dear Brother: l ana one of the
Evangelists of the Baptist State Mis-
sion Board of Georgia. I am sorry
necessity of calling our Foreign Mis-
sion methods SO severely into ques-
ton. However, have no inclination
here to discuss these matters. /
simply want to express my congratn-
lations and good wishes, and assure
you Of my prayers and sympathies in
the effort you are making to open
the eyes of the people to the awful
corruption and dangers of Roman
Catholicism. 1 have studied this
question. / have been in the fight.
/ have suffered the boycott" In
stating the doctrines and principles
you have not erred in a single in
stance
l remember the experience Of ex-
Father" Slattsry in Savannah -
years ago for publicly exposing this
same vile stuff. I remember how
even every Protestant pulpit in At
lanta but my own was closed to this
man whom I found to be now a
worthy Baptist preacher. No one
who has the slightest knowledge of
the principles, methods and history
of this institution can doubt the
correctness of your surmfses as to
who and what is really behind your
present troubles. In this thing at
least, | am with you, heart, soul and
body, if need be.

WON'T SOMEBODY GIVE ME THE
ADDRESS OF THAT DRUMMER?

Dear Mr.. Watson: I am a minis
ter and merchant, and so fayo1ably
impressed am l with you, want to
let you know that I believe you are
doing the greatest work Of any man
living today. We have a ten-months'
old boy, and his name is Tom Watson
Wilson. A drummer was here the
other day, by the name of Herman,
who said he lived in Georgia. He
said you were the biggest hypocrite
living; he said you didn't have a
friend in Thomson; he said he went
to school with you at Mercer Univer-
slty; he said you had two brothers
who wouldn't speak to you; he said
you were money schemer, that you
wouldn't do anything without big
money; he said you had robbed wids
and children; he said he was with
you On Romanism and Foreign Mis-
sions. He gave you an awful name.
l knew what he said was false, for
there is no man but has friends in
his home or settlement. Please pub
lish this letter and answer the
charges Mr.. Herman has made: not
that I believe them, but to show
other people the truth of the matter.
Yours to the end.

Comments:

My we'll known modesty prevents
me from answering Mr.. Herman's
charges, and I will leave that for
some of my friends to do. Anyway.
it is we'll for me to realize that a
drummer considers me SO good a
topic of conversation as to be will
ling to be such a whacking big liar
for the entertainment he gives.
