Dear Sir: Enclosed find news

occurred, I thought of you and your
work and looked forward to the next

IN Our Paper I take it for granted
that you are like the majority of our
Indiana Protestant voters, in not
knowing that our Hon. 1t. Gov. VIM.

Dear Sir and Friend: I have got
ten UP list of subscribers who are
with you in your fight for the peo-
pies rights Of free press and free
speech. We sympathize with you,
but that does not go far enough;
sympathy is all right as far as it
goes, but we believe the people
should rally around you and help
bear the burden of the fight We
believe that you have been singled
out for slaughter, because you have
the backbone to stand for the peo-
pies rights. We are also aware of
the fact that you have all the money
against you that is necessary to
crush you if the people do not come
to your rescue and hold up the hands
that are defending our liberties [
have been with you from your be-
ginning in public life, and have been
a persistent reader of your paper,
and Magazine I am still with you
if possible, stronger than ever, and
these men are with you just the
same. Therefore, we ask you if you
need the money do not hesitate to
draw draft On me for the amount
subscribed by us, and | hope that you
will feel no delicacy in doing SO, and
after your trial, if you should be
convicted (Which we pray you will
not) we stand ready to increase this
amount to pay your fine if fined.
The following amount is subject to
your order: VIM. Walden, $500; A.

ley, $500; DR.. O'Neal, $500, J. F.
Boone, $1.00; w. E. Lewis, $500,
In all $4,000, and if necessary l feel
certain / can get that much more Of
course l am very busy, and the peo-
pie generally are, but they are anx-
ious about your case, and will go in
droves if they can only know the day
Of trial, therefore, I ask you to wire
me at my expense the date of trial

A PRIEST WHO BUYS WATSON'S
MAGAZINE TO DESTROY TT.


Dear Sir: I almost failed to get
the February number of your Month
ly, because the newsdealer here had
lost his nerve and hid them. The
priest bought up all the January
numbers he had, SO in February he
told me he didn't want to make
Father" S. mad, SO he hid them,
and now I find that he has quit
handling them altogether. He told
me Sunday that the priest was
good customer of his and watched
him very closely, and when the Mag
azines came in he would just buy
the whole lot and destroy them. He
was afraid that he would finally get
mad and quit doing business with
him. l could subscribe, but I believe
if the Magazines were on display at
some newsstand more of them would
be sold, and therefore more good
done, so I have found a good man
who wants them and have made ar
rangements with him.
Yours most sincerely,
G. WHORTON.

AN APPRECIATION OF MIR. WAT
SONS "NAPOIEON.

Dear Sir: When man spreads
on royal banquet, I canot wipe my
lips On the napkin and pass out in
ungracious silence. With an immense
delight, ] have just devoured your
Napoleon" When a boy in old
Gordon county, Ga, began reading
the biographies of the mighty Cor
sian. In recent years Boumeun and
Prof. Crebbs have interested us, but
my supremest satisfaction in the
colossal idol of my youth comes from
the perusal Of your own great, elo-
quent, impartial and discriminating
biography. | do believe you have
rightly delineated and signed up the
1ncarnate democrat, the gigantic
emancipation of Europe, the liberal
lzing Titan Of the world. Reluctantly
| had been gravitating to the view
Of his aristocratic and ecclesiastical
ISLANDERS. You have checked the ten
dency wholly, and restored me to
my early admiration and allegiance.
The evil is frankly confessed, with
out condemnation; the predominant
good is luminously stated and glo-
riously vindicated. Statuesque and
sublime, you have set the imperial
genius on his throne, when the grow
ing democracy of this world will keep
and honor him.
Never have I SO fully understood
that it was the old internal tyranical
regime, that precipitated the wars,
and not the falsely charged ambi-
tiOns Of Napoleon. The savagery of
divine-right kings and priests ragged
against the splendor of his ideals
and the truth of his message. | see
1t now, and from my heart I thank
you. Bertram laid the Empewor's
sword On the tomb in the Tnvaqides,
and gifted Georgian, has put along
side of it, the noblest tribute of biog-
raphy. I fancy the spirit of the i'm
mortal deliVerer breathes benedic-
dictiOns on both.

I found in the library of the Uni
Versity. 1t has evidently done 9TH
ers good service as we'll as myself.
I am the Baptist pastor here, and it
was pleasant to hail the author as
my brother in UNCONVENTIONAL bonds.

miratiOn.

PEOPLE WILL APPRECIATE It. e,
W. WHEN THEY UNDER
STAND HIM BETTER,

My Dear Sir: [ want to con-
graduate you on your stand for lib
erty and the rights Of the American
people at home. No one can fail to
see, whether he has always stood by
you and with you in politics or not,
that you must be right sixty per cent
of the time, and that is about the
best most the honest men can claim
Man has reached a stage in his de-
yelopment where his feelings make
him think, the Jeffersonian brings
not only the poetry, the beauty, the
love, the romance, but it brings
truths purpose and designs which if
listened to and used will benefit him
most. Why should we not build for
pOsterity and the age to come?
When the people understand
Thomas E. Watson better, they will
appreciate lofty ideals, beautiful
sentiments, and higher ethics. We
have long since learned that we can
not spend the days in idleness listen
ing to the songs Of birds, reVeling in
the beauty of the flowers, the moon
beams, and the twilight, all of which
is enjoyable, but that each day there
must be something doing, q frmer
foundation built, or that upon which
We now stand will soon be slipping
away.
Progress tells us there is so much
for man to do in order to live, be
free and keep free5 your Magazine
teaches love which is the strongest
force and the best power that hui
manity recognizes.
Yours very truly,
Atlanta, Ga. w. M. JENKINS.

A Spanish woman, though she may
come in to wash your floors, puts it
on as she would put on a jewel. 1t
becomes an essential part of her
dress, as much piece of her person
as her curved. dark eyebrow, or the
soft tip Of her ear. She is all put
together with a perfection no out
slider can master; her embroidered
shawl. smooth over the arms and
close to the 1.-the, shapely back, never
slips; under her lace mantilia the
smooth, brown hair is dressed high,
the tall comb planted firm, and the
cunning folds and falls are never dis
placed. When a lady gets down
from her carriage to walk in the
park the coachman reins in his sleek
pair and crawls up and down in

as that of the girl in alpargatas whs

Some interesting Statistics.

Kentucky's roads, including the right
OF way, bridges and machinery, repre-
sent an investment of approximately
S50,O00,000," said Commissioner Of
Roads r. c. Terrell. For the main
tenance Of these the state and coun.
ties spend annually little more than
four per cent of the cost OF reproduc.
ton. The railroads of the country keep
on a payroll man for every mile OF
their trackage, and railroad corpor.
alton averages an annual expenditure
of nearly four per cent for its build
ings and like equipment, aside from
the maintenance of its rights of way"
Commissioner Terrell estimated the
length of roads at $1,000 miles. con.
tanning within their rights of way
100000 acres, averaging a value of $50

CHAOS OVER new TAX
INCOME TAX coNFUsEs WALL ST.
BANKERS AND LAWYERS.
Admit Their lgnoranee-Flnd Chief
Difficulty Is In Clause Providing
for Collection "at the Source"

New York, Nov. S.-That part OF
New York which is referred to vague
ly as Wall street was in a state of con-
fusion Friday. For once in its career
Wall street did not know which way
to turn. The new income tax law be
came effective that day and some OF
the highest priced lawyers. bankers
and corporation officials in the world
confessed that they were completely
at sea as to its meaning.
II is practically a foregone conclu-
sion that payment Of a large part OF
SS0,000,00O November interest pay.
ment5 due in New York will be de-
fcrred pending a solution Of the riddle.
Whatever the outcome. it is predict
ed that many suits will be instituted
against the government TO test the
law. Some Of the leading insurance
companies, led by the New York Life,
have questioned that feature of the
law which imposes a tax on corporate
holders of state or municipal bonds, OF
which they hold large amounts. while
exempting the individual.
The chief source of trouble is that
portion OF the law which provides for
the collection at the cource" of the
tax on income derived from interest
on bonds, mortgages and certain 9th
er Obligations. Banks and corpora
items are required to withhold this tax
in making payments of interest due to
holders of securities.
The ruling in question has given
rise to endless confusion. In cases In
which bonds are not registered the
names of their owners often are not
known to the banks or fiscal agents TO
whom coupons are presented for pay
ment The identity OF the owners
must be established to determine
whether the tax is to be deducted.
