and substantially it is what you say
on that subject.
Last night the Taft Republicans
of Knoxville had most enthusiastic
rally with two of the best speakers
I ever heard, sent by the National
Republican Committee to follow
Roosevelt who spoke here the day
before. They were ex-Congressman
/. Adam Bede, of Minnesota, and
Judge r. F. Thompson, of New York,
who resides on the Canadian bor-
der. Judge Thompson began his
speech by saying that in New York
the Northern States where he had
spoken, the two most reyered hames
in American history, after Waiting
ton, were those of Andrew Japxson
and Abraham Lincoln. The former
preserved the Government from dis
solution while he was President, and
the latter while he was President.
After the speaking I met Judge
Thompson and on his expressing to-
me in the most earnest language his
great admiration for Jackson, and
telling me how he had read his his
tory, l said to him: Judge, have
read many biographies of Jackson,
but the best ever written has just
come from the press, written by ex-
Congressman Thos. e. Watson, OF
Georgia.

A VERY INTERESTING LETTER

Dear Mr.. Watson: / heartily
thank you for your Lifts Of Jack

twice, and if the other half is as
good as that which | have read I
will say that it is the best, most
truthful biography of Jackson ever
published. When | was 10 years Of
age and later till Is I read all in
the newspapers about Jackson to be
found in the exchanges to my faith
er's paper. Since was Is l have
read all the books | could find on
Jackson. AS you say the biograph-
ers have either suppressed part Of
the truth who wrote as his friends,
or those of his enemies who wrote
did injustice to his memory. You
have taken the correct position as
to the duel and quarrel with Dickin-
son, and it is substantially that of
his contemporaries.
And you are exactly right as to
the outrageous injustice done to the
Indians. Early in the 70's, (exact
year I have forgotten,) l heard the
late u. S. Senator Joseph B. Hawley,
of Connecticut, deliver an eulogy in
Washington City on that great sol
der, Gen. Geo. Fl. Thomas. He said
he first met, by accident, Gen. Thorn
as in the Office Of the secretary of
War in 1865, while they were dis
cuSsing the Indian question. That
Gen. Thomas said that for 80 years
he had, as a soldier been engaged in
wars with the Indians, under the
orders of his Government, that in
every instance the fault was with
the whites and the Government. The
former in violation OF treaties en-
croached on the lands of the Indians
and the Government contractors
swiEdled them as to the quality of
supplies to be furnished These out
RACES led to wars. The public read
of barbarities, scalping, ETC., by the
red men, but took no note of en-
croachments Of whites and injustice
of Government agents and concluded
that the ''only good Indian was
dead Indian" Hawley said he had
never before given thought to the
Indian question but what Gen.
Thomas said led him to carefully
study it with the result that he
found Gen. Thomas had accurately
described the situation, land it had
greatly enhanced his opinion of that

castles, causing me to inquire why,
in one year, the accumulated labor
produced wealth OF seven years had
passed into the hands of non-pro-
ducers through no lack of labor or
judgment on my part and no natural
or providential cause.
Inquiry led me to a knowledge of
why, and for what purpose the
Democratic Party was organized.
After thirty years of ostracism,
through the efforts of Thomas JEFF
ferson and other patriotic states
men, Andrew Jackson was elected
President on an 2nti-National Bank
platform he removed the deposits
from that robber stronghold and
refused to re-charter the same.
Then Thomas Benton said, "You
have driven the tiger to the woods
but, look out, he will come back
with cubs" The cubs are now
called money sharks. l then learned
that the party had departed from
the faith of-our fathers, and not
knowing then that there was an
other of my sort in the United
States, became progressive Green
backer. Later, found there were
others, and we organized The Pro-
gressive National Party. You know
the history Of our efforts from that
time on.
When we had gained strength, in
1878, to break into the Republican
and Democratic parties ranks from
Maine to Texas, their party bosses
became frightened; they adopted our
platform and promised for the peo-
pie all the services for which we
were contending, if given a chance.

Mr.. Isidor Lehman, Secretary of
Congregation Achdrth Vesholom,
Fort Wayne, Ind.
MY Dear Mr.. Lehman: Please
read the following letter to the con-
gregation at the opening of it's
special meeting called for September
29th, 1912.
Gentlemen: On the 22nd of this
month, Mr.. Isidor Lehman, secretary
of your congregation, approached
pointed by the Board of Trustees of
the congregation for this purpose,
and asked me that l resign my posi-
ton as rabbi OF your congregation.
On the 26th of this month, Mr..
Leopold Freiburger, vice president
of your congregation, and Mr.. Her.,
man Freiburger, treasurer of your
congregation, spoke to me to the
same effect, representing their words
as being expressive of the sentiments
of the Trustees as well as Of the
majority of the members of your
congregation.
Their reasons for this demand
were the following:
On August 18th, 1912, delivered
an address before the Guardians of
Liberty" Of Elgin, Illinois, exposing
the efforts of the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy to gain control Of Ameri
can politics, and it's Vaccinations to
destroy American liberties and the
free institutions of this country
The Roman Catholic bishop and
clergy of Fort Wayne, Indiana, hav-
ing secured a copy Of 'The Elgin
Daily Courier" Of August 14th,
1912, which contained a report of
my address, had some communica-
tons with the heads and other mem
bers Of your congregation on this
point.
The Board of Trustees, fearing
that they and the rest OF the mem
bers Of your congregation might be
held responsible for my utterances
on this issue, and thus have their
business, as we'll as their social
interests with the Roman Catholics
Of this city jeopardized, found it i'm
perative that the person offensive to
the Roman Catholics. namely, your
rabbi-be removed from his posi-
ton.
Since then some other members of
your congregation have spoken to
me to the same effect, several of
them also advising me, similarly to
Mr.. Isidor Lehman, Mr.. Leopold
Freiburger, and Mr.. Herman Fret
burger, that I resign my position,
and thus relieve your congregation
of the rather unpleasant and en-
barrassing task Of officially discharg-
ing me for the reason stated above.
My term was at an end on the
last day of August, 1912. The con-
gregational meeting, which, accord
ing to usage and a promise made to
me by your president, should have

Miss Elsie Cleveland Eloped and

Identity Was Revealed.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Miss Ell
sic Cleveland, of Greenville. Pa, who
not only resembles Miss Esther Cleve-
land, daughter Of the late president in
name. but in personal appearance as
well, eloped and was married here
Tuesday, and until the identities were
Strengthened out today society had a
sensation in the belief that the white
house baby, had been the principal in
a runaway marriage.
Miss Cleveland bought an elaborate
trousseau. Hotel clerks thought they
recognized in her. the girl who was
born in the white house in 1898 and
the story spread. A telegram to the
family OF the bridegroom, H. Lee Win
free, Lynchburg, Va. brought the in
formation that the bride was not the
former presidents daughter.

HEAT DON'T AFFECT
LOVESICK PEOPLE
Searching Rays Of July Sun Appear to
Make the Heart Puisate With
Feeling.

Judging by the records in Clerk
Lakes office, the tropical rays of a
sweltering July sun that caused hui
mainly to fairly battle in copious
volumes of sweat for the first ten
days of the month, operate just con
trary to expectations on the matri-
monial market. Instead of stilling the
hearts of the lovesick, it evidently
kindles the matrimonial spark into a
blazing flame, with the usual romantic
results.
In the first ten days of June, the
traditional month when two hearts
usually decide to pulsate as one, there
were eighteen hearts that decided to
beat as one. For the first ten days
of July, there were just two dozen
hearts punctured by the tropical rays
of the sun and melted into an even
dozen.
The first ten days of June were of
that kind ideally suited to the cooling
and wooing of the lovesick. The first
ten days of July were just the oppo-
site. They were the hottest Of the
year so far and evidently, as glance
at the marriage register will show,
worked on Dan Cupid and caused a
remarkable activity on this nemesis
of young and old alike.
