Dear Sir: Your writings are al
ways interesting to me: because
they are not only sensible and logi-
cal, in the main, but, I fully believe
they are the sincere products of
patriot and friend Of civilization
and right. I sometimes differ from
your views, but do not doubt your
sincerity. | especially agree with
your views in Roman Catholicism
and the awful dangers of their rule.
Your open letter to Cardinal Glib
bons in the August Magazine is so
much to my liking, that I do sim
eerely wish that every American
voter could read it and study the
great threat to the American home,
IN the New Jersey marriage law,
which Wilson, the nominee Of the
compound of priest-craft, greed and
Organism, now misnamed Democra-
cy, have put in the field, signed, not
as you intimate, ignorantly, but as I
fully believe, so that he could get
the support Of the worst of this
shameful trio, the Roman Catholic
church. Now, I commenced my vot-
ing when Gen. John B. Gordon and
r. B. Bullock were the candidates
of their parties for governor of
Georgia. I lost my vote that time;
for the compound then of Carpet,
baggers, scalaWags and negroes,
got their man Bullock in; and / have
generally voted for the nominees of
that old party, the so-called Demo-
cratic since; but when the Pops
sprang from the old thing / some
times voted for them and invaria-
bly, against 1.-THE Peerless" And
now, that you are going to vote for
the output of the trio, shall have
to vote on the other side from you
again. I am intending this time to
vote for Roosevelt, although it
seems certain that Wilson must be
elected. | never can, nor will | ever.
vote for such a compound as priest
craft, greed and w. j. Bryan
ism batch. Nay, verify! l think
every Protestant and anti-Catholic
in the land should vote for Roose-
welt this time, though members of
the Democratic party; and / regret
that you, whom many of us look to,
as a criterion to go by, can see your
way clear to support that sort of
udn 4oi PRESIDENT, even IL ne, by
this corrupt trio, has been made the
nominee of our, and our fathers
party. | like Roosevelt and I like
the platform that the new party has
placed him on, and I, for one, in
tend to vote for him.
Your friend in the brave old days
Of yore, and still your friend

more than one or two men to carry
forward the fight for the preserva-
ton Of our liberties when you have
so bravely begun and undauntedly
continued; and that the Roman ma
chine will destroy you by death at
the very first opportunity (and this
opportunity, fear, will be diligently
sought,) | have resolved, if posi-
BILE, to give up my profession and
throw my life into this fight, be-
lieving, that here, at this time, will
be where it will count for the most
for my God and my country.
Therefore, / am writing to you as
an applicant, petitioning, that, if
there be any vacancy with The JEFF
fersonian Publishing Co., in which
you can use my services, that I am
ready to give up my present employ
ment and come to you. I am writ
ing this because l wish to be under
you and study this matter with your
personal supervision, as | am conf
dent, that in America there is no
authority as profoundly erudite upon
this subject as you. are. My educa-
ton has been that of civil engineer
ing, and so has my experience; So
cially, l am from the old Virginia
Pages; religiously, am an Episco-
palian. There is only one quality
about my general fitness, which 1
feel that l may draw to your atten-
ton: Civil engineers are accus-
toned to hardships, and not "afraid
of their jobs" we are trained in the
fray.
Should you be able to hold out
any hope to me along this line, I
shall deem it an honor to be granted
the privilege Of calling, in person, at
your Office. In the meantime, how
about working where I am? Well,
enclosed please find check to cover
my. subscription to Watson's Maya
zine, The Jeffersonian, and The Pro-
gressive Democrat. I am already
upon your list of subscribers for
the Jeffersonian, SO please send the

check, to Rev. G.. H. Harrison,

fail to let Watson's Magazine and
the "P. D." come here to me, care of
Y. NJ. G. A. 1t is my purpose to
write to all of my classmates and
recommend your paper to them, each
and every one.
Please inform me as to the most
logical method to persue in starting
local camp Of the Guardians of
Liberty.
Praying Gods choicest blessings
upon you, and trusting that you will
do me ole honor to aScribe me as
one of your loyal supporters. I am
sir,

don't know that can make you see as clearly or feel as aCutely as l seem to the exceeding littleness of life's hold on the world. Of course, the two-inch plank is as good as a mile of wood while it holds tight Of course, our foot-thick skin of soil Is as good as mile, so long as it stays in place and remains productive. While the wind blows steadily and the sea runs smoothly, two inches of oak are enough to keep any ship atioat and safe. While our foot of dirt remains in place and keeps on growing things, it is enough The sea is generally smooth and the winds generally man ageable. But hurricanes and tidal waves have been known on the waters. Also the soil is safe enough from such dews and rains and snows as we know in the ordinary course of nature. But nature has in it more possibilities than many thousand tons of dynamite. We have never learned, yet, any way to measure it's awful power, if that power should once get out of bounds and really let itself loose. Once in a while it blows mountain, like Krakatoa, thirty miles into the sea, and sends the dust of the explosion up so high into the air that 1t circles the globe and takes two years to settle. And once.

Now don't think that I'm Iookina for another glacial age to set in this spring, nor for another subterranean explosion to blow Connecticut into the middle of next week. Apparently things are going on about the same old way, with prospects that they will continue to do so. But 1 wish I could get you all to appreciate by how mighty weak tenure we hold. our dominion over life.
