SOMEBODY MUST BEAR THE

Dear Sir: And so they've ar.

time and somebody must lead and
bear the brunt, and it looks like 1t
will be you. Have the fools read
history? / don't think SO; if they
have they are impossible: they just
won't learn. They are like the rail-
roads, they will not learn until they
see blood, and then forget in SO
short time.

the United States to buy several
hundred thousand copies of wat
sons Story of France" and distrib-

even then they would not learn.

the sands of superstition, fear and
intolerance, and when the winds
and rains of education, of independ-

THE JEFFERSONIAN

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have just
read in the daily press that the
Catholics have arrested you, am bet
ting ten to one that you beat them
to fragile, as Roosevelt said he
would do Taft some time ago. 1t is
interesting to note that you have got
the animals moving about already. 1
very much enjoy reading your attack
made upon the Hierarchy, and only
wish we had more such brave and
fearless editors that we're not afraid
to speak out against these petticoat-
wearers. Say by the way, since you
carried the Great State of Georgia
for Underwood and have been elected
to head that delegation at Baltimore,
you have caused the leading Texas
papers and publications to sit up and
take notice Your announced inten-
ton to lock horns with Bryan will be
watched with interest by the anti
Bryanites of Texas.

SOME MISSOURI FRIENDS WRITE
TO r, Il. w.

Dear Sir: We were deeply grieved
to learn of your arrest. We hope
and pray that you will have fair
trial, and that you will come out VIC
torious in the end. We believe that
your arrest and trial will be the
means of many an American learning
more about you, and about the cause
you are so bravely fighting. You are
certainly doing a grand and noble
work. May God bless and guide you
is our prayer.
We gave some of your papers with
the Liberator to preacher who was
Bryan man, after he had read the
JEFF few times he wasn't such
Bryan man as he thought he was.
This preacher lives in a Catholic
town, and is somewhat afraid of
them, but just the same he gave us
two good sermons against the teach
ings and workings of the Roman
Catholics the 3rd Sunday of last May.
My husbands father, A. G. Dirty,
has been reading your publications
ever since they first came out and
would not miss a single one of them
for farm in Texas. We all think
they can't be beat. I know you are
very busy man, so I'll not take up
any more of your valuable time.
Wishing you the best of good luck,
we are your friends until death.

THE JEFF'S ARE RIDING THE
WAVES
WAVES.

Dear Jeffs: | am happy to see the
good old Jeffersonian with her brow
TO the waves CALAMITY breasting the
storm
May it be said of that gallant craft.
'fShe has landed many thousands,
: And she'll land as many more,
/ O! glory to the Jeffersonian'
T. e. w like Joseph of old has for
many years been handicapped by the
bitter prejudice of his brethren who
have cruelty afflicted and prosecuted
him, but believe that God was with
him in all his Affections, and now he
is permitted to stand before Pharaoh
and declare the Interpretation of the
destiny Of our Pharaoh which is the
old land mark traceable by the foot
prints of Thos. Jefferson, made more
than 100 years ago. Would not the
Infamous sedition laws of John
Adams be handy now to gag our Tom
and silence the Jeffs? God grant that
this effort to extinguish this light to
the common people like the eclipse of
the sun, may soon pass away leaving
the Jeffs not only as bright as ever,
but anxiously observed by everybody
in sight. I believe that most of the
readers of the Magazine would be
pleased to see Bob Taylor's address
of welcome to Texas Tennesseean
published in Nov. 1907 in Taylor's
Trottwood Magazine and also Jack
Wills petition praying for the re-
moval of his political disabilities in
the same number of Taylor Trott-
wood, Nov. 1907. Send me extra
copies of the July jeff and will try
to sell and make remittance for
them. Watson is being much more
favorably discussed than formerly
and trust will soon be to the masses
what the Polar Star is to the mariner.
May He, who protected Martin Luz
Their, John Knox, Rodger Williams
and John Wesley, now cover as with
his wing the head of Tom Watson,
who is, as I believe, the peer in wis
dom, piety and patriotism of any of
the sages of ancient, or modern times.
Hoping, trusting and believing that
Tom Watson will be gloriously yindi-
Gated like Elijah on Mt. Carmel,
am respectfully,

A BRAVE OLD SOLDIER READY
TO HELP.

Dear Sir: l have been reading
the Jeffesonian, have been keeping
up with your exposure of the foul
doctrines of Catholicism, and know
well that you are right in your views.
AS to missions as now practised by
the churches, my eyes were opened
during the Boxer uprising in China,
l was liberal supporter of foreign
missions up to that time. | did not
like you until you returned to the
Democratic fold; had you always
fought under these colors you would
have long since been President of
the u. S., priveded you would have
kept the truth from the people until
you got in power; as it stands today
you can never be anything more than
a reformer. You will always receive
the curses and abuse of the powers
that be, as ali refOrmers of accepted
error have been subjected to. But
be comforted in one thing: most
good citizens of the u. S. that are
not too prejudiced to read your pub
locations are with you, but cOnceding
you this following you cannot hope
to compete for political power
against the money powers and the
great beast (Rev. IS, 4 to 80 If this
Scripture does not refer to the Ro-
man Catholic church / have no eyes
to see, no ears to hear, no power to
read the signs of the times. The
great American people should be
proud Of the blood that flows in
YOUR veins that you have so freely
offered in exposing the greatest evil
that confronts and threatens Ameri-
can freedom. You are liberal, I'M
der these influences to decrease cor
ruption, graft, fraud, blindness;
have never voted anything but
banner I will vote for you for any
thing that is within the power of
our government to bestoW. / want
to be the first volunteer when the
battle cry is given; I want to be the
last man standing by your side
should the battle be lost. | notice in
the Atlanta Journal that it has been
determined to drop the case made
against you by the Government. The
Roman Catholic church can no more
afford to rosecute Thomas E. Wat
son than they can afford to assassi-
nate the President of the u. S. I

am far from being rich, but will go
my part to defray all expenses in

while standing in the defence of

But beneath all this apparent idle
ness and pleasure loving. Munich Is
very busy place. 1t is the very heart
Of young artistic Germany. and the
great revolutions that have taken
place in newspaper and journalistic
art have come direct from here. the
home of the Jugend. the Simplicissi-

magazines have introduced impress
sionism to our English and American
papers, but even still Munchener

which an Englishman must use ten.
The Munich academy is the second
best in the world and has sent forth
such men as William Chase, Frank
Duveneck and Martin Scissor. II you

important man in the world. the an
swer is either the prince regent. and
Frame Won Stuck Of Frame Stuck
and the prince regent.
They love the kindly old prince, but
their awe of Stuck is marvellous. His
word is considered final in art, and
his appreciation Is shown not only
sentimentally. but substantially as
we'll, for he was presented with a
beautiful home by the government
and nice pension besides. He is a
tall, dark handsome man. His wife
is an American, and although very
fond of his wife. he does not like to
see too much American independence
cropping out in his children. His lit.
tie girl Is n true little German frau
lein, while his boy takes all his traits
from his mothers ancestors. and Is
said to be no favorite with his father.
Stuck is one of the teachers of the
academy, but the best life class here
is headed by an American from NIL
waukee, Carl MARI. The Zugel animal
class is one Of the famous art classes
of the world.
