FROM A LADY FRIEND WHO rs
INTERESTED.

Dear Mr.. Watson: AS my weekly
jeff has failed to come to me now
for two weeks, please send them on.
While | think their failure may be
due to your arch enemy, and that of
our American liberties, and of free
speech, and free press, the Roman
Catholic element, l can't do without
my paper. You have my sympathy
and that OF all reading, thinking
people, or should have You are
fighting noble fight, that of down
trodden humanity; you are educat-
ing people along lines of thought
new to many; until you began your
crusade against the Roman Catho-
lies. Very few of us Southern peo-
pie had any idea of the scope, in
huence, power, and the willingness
to use that power, possessed by
them, and that they were using that
power to the detriment or humanity
as they are. You have aroused a
great sentiment, and caused us to
think and read up. A few of us had
been reading up on it before. Do
you remember when The Secrets
OF the Convent and Confessional"
was published, and largely sold here
in the South, in 1870, think it was,
what an uproar it made against the
Roman Catholics? 1 know people
whose lives have been greatly
changed by reading that one book.
Go on with your good work. Strike
while the iron is hot" We are with
you in your noble work

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
/ HAVE NEVER FAILED TO PAY
MY PASTOR

My Dear Friend: / have been a
subscriber to your Jeffs for two
years and have sent you several sub
scribers, and do love to read your
literature. / think you are doing
a great work and tonight when 1
heard preacher speak of you as a
great statesman while he was talk
ing on foreign missions, said that
you had attacked the Nj. E. church
on foreign missions, and that there
was great man at Brookhaven,
Miss, whose name l cannot recall,
said that you had not paid one dol
lar for the support of your pastor in
seven years, as soon as preaching
was over l rushed to him and told
that you were not fighting foreign
missions, that you simply opposed
the way mission money was handled
and that | considered that you were
doing the greatest mission work of
any man in the South, and that you
were a Christian gentleman. Now
Mr.. Watson l am not worthy of your
valuable time, but | would like for
you to write me or publish in the
Jeffs a refutation to what this man
said about your not paying a pas
tors fee in seven years.
Yours for the right,
w. S. ANTHONY.
Kokomo, Miss.
Comment.
1t is a curious thing to me, that
so many preachers make reckless
statements against me.
Since my return to Thomson, in
1876, nave never failed to pay the
pastor of the Baptist church.
Every year, gave what I could.
During those 26 years, I suppose
that my contributions to the Baptist
church would total several thousand
dollars-not to mention donations
of thousands of dollars to other
churches, schools, charities, etc.

AN INVALID WHO ENJOYS THE
JEFF.

Editor JeffersOnian: If you have
space to spare | would like to say
just few words, I am not a sub
scriber at present to the Jefferso-
MAN, but have good reason for not
being. A near by friend of mine
takes the jeff and lets me read it
when l can get hold of it. l am
very fond of the paper l like Mr..
Watson's writings because he is so
bold and fearless in defending the
rights of the people, and l like the
Help One Another Club page, so
read all the letters and enjoy them
very much, because | can realize the
great good they are doing in sending
help to our dear old soldier friend.
l will not tell you my age at present
but will say that for the past ten
years | have suffered and lived the
life of shut in or invalid from the
effects of rheumatism. For ten long
years | have been confined to my
chair or bed, not able to walk a step.
A friend sent me a wheel chair some
years ago, l can sit on this chair and
ride or roll around when some one
will guide the chair | can write and
read and enjoy reading very much,
that is good literature. If this letter
finds it's way into print l may write
you again and give a short history
of myself and how I make a living,
and how l come so near losing my
only possession in this world. Lack
of money is the only reason 1 am
not a subscriber to the Jeffersonian,
but l read it all the same. 1 have
written this letter with my own
hands, although they are shaky.
May God bless the great good you
are doing.
Sincerely your friend,
P. n. GILBERT.

HOW ABOUT THIS, COMMISSION
Err LINDSEY?

Dear Sir; We were appraised of
the fact today that venerable.old
lady of probably seventy-five winters
who resides in Southwest Georgia,
whom we have known thirty years
applied recently for a widows pen
sion. When she mailed her applica-
ton she registered it as she said if it
were lost she could not afford to
trouble herself and her friends in
an effort to have it duplicated.
After waiting some weeks she
writes to know what disposition had
been made with her application. In
reply the Pension Commissioner
writes her that no such document
had been received at his office, and
when Informed that the good lady
held his receipt for the registered
package, he demanded to see it.
The receipt was then handed to
our State Senator to show to the
Pension Commissioner.
Since no hearing has come from
the Pension Commissioner those in
terested think perhaps that politics
demanded that the matter be kept
quiet till after the election

SOCIALISM PREFERABLY TO RO-
MANISM

Dear Friend Watson: You are
being appreciated by thousands who
once hated you, as a true patriot
and up-to-date statesman. Things
are rapidly coming your way; your
ideals are beginning to be looked at
from the American standpoint. Your
trial, in the Federal Court, that is
attracting the attention of many of
your fellow citizens will in my.
judgment never be pulled off, Rome
is too cunning to allow you to make
the speech in selfdefense and the
publicity that would naturally be
given to it. But should they be SO
reckless as to give you this chance
to show them up in court, / want a
bundle of the speech to SOW this sec
ton down with. AS for me and my
house, we will vote for Debs, for I
know Socialism cannot be as bad as
Roman Catholicism, and certainly
not so dangerous to true Christian
ty. With best wishes, for you and
the Jeffs, | remain sincerely your
friend.

THE DUTY OF PATRIOTIC
AMERICANS.

Dear Sir: | am an enthusiastic
adm1rer of yours, and especially Of
your courageous attacks upon the
Roman Catholic organization which
is now making such desperate and
insidious efforts to gain control of
this Government, and have been
reading your several articles regard
ing same.
In your last issue of your Maya
zine | note what you have to say re-
garding Woodrow Wilson's private
secretary, and if this be true, which
l cannot doubt, I think it is the pat
rlot1c duty of every true American
to begin at once to spread this fact
abroad and endeavor to defeat him
for the Presidential Office. But
what could be accomplished by that?
We are bound to have either Will
son, Taft or T. R., and according to
your statements, which seem to be
borne out by facts, all of them are
Special friends of the Roman Catho-
lies, and are turning over control to
them as fast as they can. I bid you
God-speed in your campaign of edu-
cation along this line, and if you
and those who may assist you are
successful in arousing our Protest
ant people to their Impending dan
ger before it is too late, your name
will go down in history as the great
est liberator since Moses led the
Children of Isreal out of Egypt.

LETTER FROM A BAPTIST MINIS
TER.

Dear Friend and Brother in
Christ: | have been keeping up
with your persecution in your ar
rest in charges of sending obscene
literature through the mails, and to
say that am not surprised will not
express it, yea, / have and do still
expect worse things for our Tom if
God in His providence doesn't still
preserve you. | have been student
of your literature for several years
and have been your former agent
for your publications and have al
ways voted for you when I had an
opportunity, and for several years I
longed for you to aspire to the Presi-
dency of our United States, but for
the last few years | have seen my
folly, as | have been fully convinced
that you have and are yet doing
your country more good service than
you could possibly do as President.
Since | learned of your arrest | have
been intending to write you an ex-
preston of my sympathy for you in
your trials and to express; my dis
approval of the way you and like
patriots are being treated, but could
not get words sufficient to express
my feelings. But since [ received
the last issue Of the Jeffersonian
and the Liberator and read the dec
larations Of principles and constitu-
tion of the proposed American hber-
ty league, as is published in the
Liberator, edited by j. A. Scarbora,
Magnolia, Ark have decided
about the best way | could express
myself is to send my name and that
of my boys and as many more as I
can secure as advanced members of
the American Liberty League.
AS a citizen of these United
States and as an ordained minister
of the Missionary Baptist church, I
feel it my duty to contribute as
much as possible to your comfort
and encouragement, as we'll as to
other like patriotic citizens and in
stitutions and to every rightful eff
fort to maintain our free institu-
tions. So | am at your command
to serve in any way that my limited
ability can be of any service.
Call on me if needed at any time. I
am still at your service as an agent
for your publications if you are
pleased to use me- The last order
| made Of you Or the Jeffersonian
PUBLISH Co., was made something
like one year or more ago, for some
cause never reached me, neither did
l receive any bill of lading nor any
reply to same. I was made to won

FROM AN EARNEST Lacquer.

Dear Sir: I see the Roman Cath
olics are after you, and that is more
proof of what they might do if they
are allowed to continue to organize.
The Protestants did not organize,
so as to be able to take care of
themselves in this, our own coun-
try. May the Protestants soon
wake up and take notice. I hope
your paper will increase in circula-
ton until every Protestant can see
just what we have got to face, and
we Protestants humbly submit So
you may put me down as an earn

1nE FLOOD OF IMMIGRATION.

During the month OF April, 1912.
over 100000 foreigners passed through
Ellis Island. The flood tide OF immi.
grafton which set in from southern
Europe a few years ago reached its
highest mark. In April. 1911. $3.50
people from southern Europe landed
in New York. This had been the
previous high figure. That record
figure was exceeded by over 2Occ by
April. 1912.
One problem presented by this nor,
nous increase in immigration is the
problem OF handling and inspecting
immigrants. Commissioner Williams
states that the governments facilities
for the care OF newcomers are entirely
inadequate. Many OF these imm.-
grants come from the unhealthy parts
of southern Europe. Some carry con
tagious diseases. Some are weak
minded. This is especially true in
the cases OF young children who are
sent to this county: in many cases il
Is believed because they receive better
care in American institutions. We
need the strong and healthy. the ia-
telligent and the industrious Of these
immigrants. We do not need and We
should not receive the immoral. the
weak and the lazy. There is room in
America for a population much greater
than We have at present, and the man
who IS willing 20 work with hi, hands
or his head. still finds this the land
OF opportunity. An increase I'm tho

A CHINESE REVOLUTION.

The new Republic OF China gives
women an equal vote in the ballot
with men. \ few decades ago woman
in China was a chattel. She was the
absolute slave Ct her husband and on
her husbands death became the slave
OF his family. Now all this has been
charged. The Chinese woman enters
upon an era Of political. legal and
social equality with men. The Chinese
woman has the right Ct ballot on the
same conditions that her husband or
her brother has. China Is the land OF
contradictions viewed from an occi-
dental standpoint. but none OF her
revolutions has been more remarkable
than the change IN her attitude to-
ward woman.

TIE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

Any citizen OF Wheeling who is
charitably inclined. and who wishes
TO know the amount OF good work
that is being done by a few people,
can spend a few hours to advantage
visiting the office of the Associated
Charities in the board OF trade build
ing. Hero the visitor will find a clerk
or two hard at work answering tele-
phones. noting down cases and making
records of work done. A casual in
spection OF some OF these records Is
more than interesting. All or nearly
all are pathetic. some are heart rend-
ing. They tell OF the needs OF widows
and orphan children. OF the accidents
which take away the bread winner,
the disease against which there is no
power to fight. OF the suffering for
food. medicine and clothing. They
tell OF families put out Of homes. their
goods taken. and left without a place
to lay their heads. They tell. more
over. OF the sick who have been
nursed. Of the physicians who have
Willingly given their time for charity
patients: OF good men and women who
are being constantly appealed to and
who come L the assistance OF the
needy. Every day brings its own
tragedy and tale OF sorrow.
In the files OF the Associated Chair
ties are more romances. more real
human life. more side lights on the
existence OF men, women and chill
dren struggling against adversely.
than are TO be found written in any
book or presented on any stage. Peo-
pie OF Wheeling who have not taken
an active interest in the work OF the
