THE eJEFFERSONrAN
TO THE READERS OF THE JET
FERSONTAN.

| heard the indictment trial by the
government against Hon. Thos. e.
Watson and | considered his defence
so far beyond the general expecta-
ton, that even the government not
Withstanding it's greatness, after con-
sideration, reminded me Of the say
ings Of the boys in the army when
things get too warm for them, had
to skedaddle.
/ have selected a text for Mr.. T.
E. w. for the next sermon to the
government which may not be long
off; I gave it to a blind preacher some
twenty years ago, the language of
God to Adam, ''Where art thou"
Gen. SO. Adam had ignored Gods
law, notwithstanding the unWritten
Constitution; / was in the stand
and located the text for him, it
seemed his spiritual vision was clear
as the noon day sun, and light sprung
up among the people
Mr.. Watson has for quite a while
been trying to bring light out of
darkness among the people Of Ameri-
ca, against the great beast Roman
Catholicism, which today presses the
question, What are we doing?
Our first President did not seem to
be under any dread Of assassination;
notwithstanding he had just passed
through the hardships of war for lib
erty of Americans, with untrammeled
speech and free press. If the
Pope says do this, or that, and
you do it, you are mere servants, and
Christ is entirely out of the question,
and no better man servants are
needed. Those who have read the
book OF Maria Monk and other
works are certainly convinced Of our
whereabouts in this decade. In
these days of Romanism the man who
does nothing but says little more
slumber, little mere sleep, and a
little more folding the hands in
sleep, deserves no place in the aisles
Of a Protestant church.

TIE PRIEST GOT THE MONEY.

Dear Sir On Sept. 29th, the En-
pire Theatre of this city gave a per-
Torrance for the financial benefit Of
one ]. F, Lockney, who presides over
a congregation Of Roman Catholic
dupes in this city, said performance
being attended by Lockney. Part of
the entertainment at this show was
furnished by one Cline Carew, whose
stunt consisted largely of an u!n-
limited and most suggestive display
of lingerie, said display being
brought about by q series of very
high kicks. Although his seat was
directly in. front and only a short
distance away from the stage where
this indecent exhibition took place,
LOckney made no effort to leave it.
Far from exhibiting any disgust or
dislike at the vulgar spectacle his
fat iowls, and in fact his whole gross
carcass Quivered with delight, while
it was going on.
I wonder what the private life can
be of a self appointed representa-
tive Of Almighty God who publicly,
and in front Of hundreds of his
parishiOners acQuiesces and profits
financially in such a degradation of
WOmanhood.
Yours truly,
WIN. KENNEDY.

My Dear Friend: I most heartily
congratulate you on your victory.
"Exulting millions will rejoice in it,
and their long, loud, transporting
shouts, like the mingling of many
winds, will roll on, undying, to free
dom's farthest mountains" I greet
you as the writer, statesman, pat
riot and scholar | am prouder Of
your victory than | am Of the great
est one ever achieved on the field Of
battle. Your trial terminated, as I
predicted it would about year ago
in letter I wrote you, and pub,
lished in the Weekly Jeffersonian.
Your intrepid courage, your master
ly fight for Free Speech and Free
Press, your persistent exposure Of
shams and hypocWsies entitle you
to the everlasting gratitude of the
American, people. Mr. Watson, I
have been taking both Jeffs since the
first issue, have sent a few subsCri~
bers and am sorry | have not a club
now, but | will renew soon, and will
make heroic effort to set a club.
Hoping you may live, at least so
years yet to battle with Ignorance
and Superstition, and with kindest
regards to yourself and family, l re-
ain Sincerely your friend,

READ THIS, FROM BOSTON. WILL
ANY PRIEST ANSWER?

Dear Sir: l read in the Morning
Herald you we're accused of some
thing regarding the Roman Catholic
confessional. 1t isn't at all surpris-
ing that their only object is to injure
and bother you, they have injured
many. If they annoy you further,
ask the public why Jesuits and monks
and other Roman Catholic orders OF
priests Do NOT DARE INVITE IN
SPECTION OF ANY BUILDING
THEY ARE IN. These men study
and use medicine and electricity.
Are these things part of a priests
business?
Have these things anything to do
with religion? An inspection of their
buildings will prove these things to
be true. 1t is outrageous to allow
Jesuits and monks to do the things
they are doing.

My Dear Friend l am sure proud
Of your successful fight with the Ro-

The Parcel Post.

THE parcel post need not harm any

new service as well as the large CITY
mail order houses can. In fact, he will
beat them to his customers. If he is
slothful, the trade viii get by him any
way. If customer calls for an article.
which he hasn't in stock, an immediate
letter to his wholesaler will have tx e
article at his customers door as soon
as even the retail order concern could
get it to him. -
These observations are interesting in
view of the widespread opposition that
existed among wholesalers against the
establishment of the new post. Oppo-
sition now, of course, is futile, for the
system is in operation. It's up to the
small merchant to make the best of it,
and in doing SO, the use of energy and
alert intelligence work results that will
astonish him. Hamburg lark. Eagle.

Probably No Court Until April.

A large number of litigants, witnesses
and others were in Colfax the first fou1
days of this week. to attend the civil
term of the court which was supposed
to begin in Grant parish last Monday.
Judge Blackman, however, was de-
tanned in Rapides on account of the
suit of Mrs. Lillian Long against DR..
J. V. Bonnette for $25, 900 damages.
A jury having been impanneled, the
Judge said he was forced to stay SO
long as the trial progressed, SO on
Thursday he told Sheriff Perkins to
declare the court off for this week, and
that he would come to Colfax and fix
all cases for trial in April.
This is another case of Grant parish
being tied to the tail of the Rapides
kite, and it shows that Rapides should
have judge for her business alone.
and Grant should have the same. At
least we should be linked up with an
other parish with which we would
stand an equal show.

The more pleasing and pleas
ant our government can make
farm life the better it is for the
government. Our cities are over
crowded with worthless loafers
that might be honorable and
respectable farmers. The rural
life is one of the things that has
been provided to make farm life
more desirable and attractive,
and as we all have to live off the
farmers nothing should be left
undone that could be done to
make the farm inviting.

From every view point the
farming class of this parish is in
better shape now than at any
period since the civil war. More
people own their own homes and
little farms; more are free from
the yoke of bondage inflicted by
burdensome debts; more are be-
coming Independent each year by
making a comfortable living for
their families; more are waking
up to the necessity of giving
their children better educational
advantages, and withaI, pros
perity and contentnent seem to
prevail throughout the country.
Let progress still be our watch
word.

In Memory Of Ira Hathaway.

On Dec. 81, 1912, Ira Hathaway, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Hathaway, was
killed by log falling on him at Pollock,
La. He was unloading logs at the pond
and log caught him, throwing him in
to the pond and killing him instantly.
He was about Is years of age, and
while we do not know whether he ever
professed any faith in religion, Eve do
know that he was kind hearted and
even tempered in Opposition and won
the hearts of many friends. Ira was
planning to come home to spend Christ
mas with his father and mother, but
the hand of God came between them,
and instead of greeting his loved ones
ne was brought home cold and lifeless.
Oh, how sad it was to leave his dear
old father and mother so lonely, 'deso-
late and mourning at such time! His
greatest delight was to engage in sing
ing, singing songs dear and precious to
them, and it was indeed a sad scene
when they brought the casket home
with his poor crushed and lifeIess body.
The thought came how can they endure
such sorrow? But the Lord was there
with his great comforting and healing
power, and after their great grief had
subsidized they could look up to their
dear Heavenly Father and have the hope
of meeting Ira on the sunny banks of
the golden shore. Surely if God is for
US, who can be against US? Ira leaves
his father and mother, FIVE brothers
and five sisters, and a host of other
relatives and many friends to mourn
his loss. He was laid to rest in Bethel
cemetery beside his brother who had
gone before. Never will his memory
fade, and sweetest thoughts will ever
linger around the spot where he is laid.
A FRIEND.
