St. Paul is to have a chance to vote
on commission government, with the
Initiative, Referendum, and Recall in
May. While the new proposition may
be far from perfect, it will be great
step forward toward emancipation. If
St. Paul becomes free, it will go far
toward making Minnesota free. AS it
is, there is a general suspicion in the
state that it doesn't make much diff
ference what crowd gets into power
in St. Paul. It is like going into a
backward town with only two hotels.
Whichever hostelry you stop at, you
wish you had gone to the other. The
freedom of St. Paul is of vital i'm
portance to the rest of the state. In
state conventions the country delegates
run up against phalanx from Ramsey
county, with one man to do the think
ing, and the thinking generally done a
month before. The pity is that so
many good, clever and honest men al
lowed themselves to be used in this
way. A more liberal form Of city
government will give them chance to
assert themselves.

:: New York, April l6:-More than
100 persons it is feared were
drowned, when within four hours after
she crashed into an iceberg the nam:
moth White Star line steamer Titanic,
bound from Southampton to New
York on her maiden voyage. Wont to
the bottom OF the Newfoundland
banks. OF the: approximately Zoo
persons On board the giant liner; some
81 them. ct worldwide prominence,
only 8s62 are known to have been
saved. The White Star Offices in New
York, while asserting hope to the last,
admitted that there had been ''horri:
bic loss of 1ife.''' -:
Accepting tho early estimates OF. the
fatality list as accurate the disaster
is the greatest in the history of navi-
CATION. Nearest approaching it in
magnitude were tho disaster to the
steamer Atlantic, also a White Star
liner, in 1873, when 647 lives were
lost, and to La Bourgone, 1898, with
. loss Of 81. =.
There :; came me flashing over tho wires
from Cape Race, within 400 miles of
which the liner had struck the iceberg,
word that at 1920 o'clock Monday
morning, three hours and fifty.five min
utes after receiving her death blow,
the Titanic had sunk. The news
came from the steamer Carpathia, re-
layed by the White Star liner Olympic,
and revealed that by the time the Car
pathia, outward bound from New York
and racing for the Titanic on a wire
less call, reached the scene the doomed
vessel had sunk. 49,,
Left on the surface, however, were
lifeboats from the Titanic and in
them, as appears in meager reports re-
ceived, were some 866. survivors of
the disaster. These, according to the
advices, the Carpathia picked up and
is now on her way with them to New
York.

If the logic of the extreme. sui
fragette had been followed, there
would have been mighty few women
saved from the Titanic wreck. The
mighty and noble instinct planted in
the soul of man that the weak, and
helpless be cared fol, saved the women
anu children Of the great ship from
first cabin to steerage. The extreme
suffragette wants to ignore and set
aside instincts that God has put
into : the human heart: II. 1t can.
not be done. Let US have woman suf-
frage because it is right in theory and
in principle, but let US have common
sense also.

use it in the interest of safety to

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPTE-
WANTS A GOVERNMENT FREE
FROM RELIGIOUS DESPOTTSAf.

Dear Sir: Recently / wrote you.
requesting sample of your paper
containing information relative to
the nature of the printed matter for
which Thomas e. Watson now feels
the claws of the Romish power, as a
result Of their publication. | am in
receipt of copy of Watsons to-
gether with a copy of the Jefferso-
MAN and thank You many times for
your courtesy.
| have mailed the monthly to a
relative who will thankfully receive
and lntell1gently read it, and in addi-
ton have written another friend Ca
radical reformer) and asked him to
send you Toe for the June Watson,s
before he casts his vote / shall call
the attention of others to this matter.
If Gov. Wilson has turned over to
the church of his State, the powers
which should be controlled by the
commonwealth, he is unfit to stand
guard over the welfare of the poor,
and his name should not, and by my
vote shall not go down in history
among the american Presidents.
Rome will fasten upon us her re-
1entless clutches and make secure
upon our ankles her shackles without
our deliberately handing over to her
the privilege accompanied with boz
quets.
We've got to have a man at the
head who eats his dinner at noon and
makes his motto, mo wage slave, no
king, no queen, no pope"
Perhaps in the near future I can
enter my subscription and join the
Jeffersonian family, but meantime I
am with you for progressive politics
and a government free from reli-
gious, political or social dcspotism.
Am RENTING for another sample of
the June Watson's, will gladly cir
culate any Jeffersonian you wish to
forward.
Hit them in the solar pIexus, and
regard Inc as yours for religious and
political liberty and a free press.

A MISSISSIPPI LAWYER WAS NOT
SURPRISED

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I have Just
been apprised Of your arrest upon the
charge Of sending obscene matter
through the mails. I am truly sorry
to note the same, but I am not at all
surprised. Your manly stand in
revealing the deadly teachings and
practices of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy and it's hold upon the Gov
eminent of these United States has
reused these people to desperate
deeds. We have an abiding faith in
the honor and integrity of the masses
of the common people from whom
must come the jurors who pass upon
your guilt or innocence, and we feel
that they will vindicate you. You
have violated no law. The very men
who had you arrested must know
this. But the tentacles Of this giant
octopus are fast encircling this once
grand and glorious republic, and the
patriotic citizens must rally to your
support now or we are forever
doomed. We thank God for Tom
Watson! They can not brow-beat
nor intimidate you. The masses of
our people are fast realizing this, and
nave implicit faith in you as leader.
We know that even though they
down you temporarily, you'll rise and
come again. Mississippians will
raise $4,000 for your defense if
necessary. Be not afraid, but con-
tinue your gallant fight for humani-
ty, native land and our God.
Your friend,
r. r. eSAJTEP
Purvis, Miss. AttOrney-at-Law

library and expect to continue to read
all your publications as long as L

LUDICROUS THE WAY UNCLE
SAM DID.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have been a
close student Of your writings since
you launched your New York Maya
zine, and l am today a subscriber to
all of your publications, and read
them with renewed interest as each
number comes in. It is ludicrous to
say the least to see how Uncle Sam
let the Romanist catch him asleep
and take out proceedings against
you. You have them good and hard,
just keep taking in the slack and
twill only be short time until your
thousands Of readers and admirers
the PFotestants all over the land and
even Uncle Sam will wake up to the
fact that you are doing the greatest
work of any man of modern times.
Then, oh! then, it will be smooth
sweet sailing. Meanwhile l am heart
and soul with you in the work and
stand ready to do anything l can to
further the cause.

Dear Sir: Please send Watson's

my name with the list sent <by Ho-
mer Wood if you wish He solicited
at the Guardians of Liberty meeting
June II, 1912. My brother told
him that he thought our subscrip-
ton had been renewed Otherwise,
we have no acquaintance with the
solicitor.
We get into trouble with the Ro-
man Catholics when we shew a COM
parison OF so-ealled accidents. When
the ITO Lutheran children were
burned to death in Boyertown, Pa,
thus preventing them from multiply
ing, no such accident CD happened
to Roman Catholic children to de-
stroy their lives and lessen the num-
bers of future generations
We were glad to see in print the
story of the Gaynor shooting. AT
the time we learned that. Gallagher
had On a Knight of Columbus
badge. So there is where you
toucshed the quick Of the Roman
Catholics and the reason for their
retaliation.
