MORE LIGHT ON THE ORIGIN OF
THE COTTON spy SYSTEM.

Dear Sir: Anent your recent
articles relative to the Government
spy system on cotton planters and
ginners, l beg to call your attention
to recent debate in Congress on II. r.
Bill No. 1898, and reported in Con-
gressional Record, Vol. AZ, No. 4,
pages SO to Ill. This is a bill
authorizing the Director of Census
to collect and publish certain Stats
tics on the tobacco crop and imposing
certain penalties.
This debate, I think, throws light
on the cotton bill, and shows that
your position, with which am in
entire accord, is correct. I call your
special attention to the running
debate beginning at the bottom of
page 102. aae
Mr. Hobson The gentlemen must
be entirely familiar with the fact
that the government does send it's
agents to get statistics about cotton.
Mr.. Mann. Certainly. The gov
eminent collects statictics from
thousand different sources and pub
fishes them-but so far as ] can
recall, there is no penalty against the
ginner who does not furnish the
information, is there?
Mr.. Hobson: OF course / cam
not answer that offhand. but know
this
Mr.. Mann: I will answer it and
say there is not any.

A CAMPAIGN AGAINST MORMON
ISM

Dear Sir: The greatest fraud of
modern times is Mormonism. The
way to counteract it's pernicious
work and influence, is to put it in
the spotlight. 1t withers where the
light is and ,fattens in the darkness
and where ignorance exists.
In former communication, I sug-
gested a lecturer be put in the field
to expose this gigantic and iron
proved fraud, and named Rev.
Robert Miller, Of Atlanta, as man
we'll qualified by information and a
man with brave spirit and as well
possessed Of enthusiasm against this
error, to take the field.
I am well persuaded that he could
be induced to do the work, if
proper living for himself and family
could be obtained while In the prose-
cution of the task. Let us hear from
others in regard to this matter. Who
is willing to contribute to an anti
Mormon fund to keep man in the
field?
It will cost few dollars when
error is to be combated, and there
is no better patriotic way Of spend
ing money than to protect the people
and drive off erroneous teaching
that will hurt them. Let US hear
from 'The Jeff" readers.

Mr.. Mann. There Ia. no penalty
anywhere unless It iS in the Census
Act and tho g0verHmeat has never
dared to try to eafoece that, at bot
tom OF age lea.
Mr.. Mann. New the gentleman
from Alabama Suggests that the gov
eminent collect statistics from the
cotton ginners. why the govern
ment collects statistics from people
all over the United States, but it does
not undertake to invoke any penalty
against people who refuse to furnish
these statistics. Quite different
proposition. In the case Of the cot
ton statistics, SO far as / can recol-
lect, there is NO penalty provided, or
II there Is any, it has never been
invoked. Nobody has any object in
refusing to give the statistics.
call your attention to Mr. Mann's
statement on page 102-evidently
said in sarcasm: "a few years ago
we were told in tones of great enthu-
siasm from that side Of the house,
that if we would only commence to
collect more accurate cotton Stats
tics it would result in boosting the
price Of cotton, because the farmer
was not able to know how much cot
ton there was in the country-but
that the manufacturer knew. We
entered upon that and l see in my
minds eye how the price Of cotton is
going up as a result"
81 question the accuracy fully Of
those beliefs on the part Of gentle
men. We will find that the courts
will not hold that Congress has the
power to walk into manufacturing
establishment and say to the manu-
facturers: Produce your books that
we may publish the information
relating to you !"
This whole debate is interesting as
throwing some light on the question
of cotton statistics, but I will not
weary you with further extracts.
I have culled these from the rec
ord as l saw a statement from you
that you did not get the Record l
trust you will arouse the farmers,
that they may see this matter in its
true light. Wishing you much sue
cess. Your friend,

FROM A FRIEND In ILLINOIS.

Dear Friend Mr.. Watson: I can
not express to you my delight at the
thought OF being friend to and
associated with a personality and
character like that of which I know
you to be the proud possessor. There
lies before me as write, a copy of
"Tom Watson's Magazine" Vol. /,
No. l., March 1905. of which I have
been a constant reader and am more
than ever determined to live and die
for the righteous principles which
have seen so faithfully and so persis-
tently adhered to by you since the
first number of this Magazine
appeared in New York.
Upon enquiry at the only news
stand in our town I learned that
none of your writings were handled
Or sold there. In fact, they had
never heard of them. But on exam
lining the list of periodicals handled
by the st. Louis News Company, we
found ''Watson's" among them
There are many Catholics in the
town and an effort may be made to
stop their sale as soon as the real
character of the Magazine becomes
known. However, we trust that a
few put into circulation in this way
will result in number Of new sub
scribers. The news dealer has prom
ised to order small lot Of the next
number.
Of all my reading matter, there is
none to be compared with the writ
ings of Mr.. Watson.
Keep up the fight Thomas; for we
are with you as is every common
sense man who once comes to know
you in the manner that we have viz:
through your writings.
I am in receipt of your appeal to
5000 readers for each to furnish one
new subscriber at the full price of

with send you the names of three,
