FROM A GEORGIA BOY, IN LOUI-
SIANA

Dear Sir. / am an old Jackson
county (Ga.) boy; having lived there
in the SOS, when you were making
such fight for Old Man Peepul.
Since leaving Georgia / have been
taking your Magazine and Jefferso-
MAN, and always look forward to
their coming, because | believe you
to be the greatest man of our time.
There is no doubt that you are the
champion of the poor mans cause.
And the greatest menace at present
to both poor and rich is ROmanism,
but the thing that strikes the great
est blow at the poor man just now, is
the scheme to land ship loads Of i'm
migrants from Southern Italy.
No one will ever appreciate the
great menace these people are to the
Americans unless he could be here in
New Orleans and hear the story Of
poor Americans who are forced to
leave the city walking because they
can get no work. They say foreign
ers do most of the work here and do
it for less money than an American
can live on.
l would be glad if you would ask
all of your subscribers through the
jeff to write their Senator and Con-
gresham to form a bill that would
remedy this immigration evil at once.
Yours truly,
E. A. HOLCOMB.
New Orleans, La.

THE EFFERSONTAN

He was master Of the situation from
the beginning, and had his followers
in complete control, always alone, in
the midst of men, he dreamed in
solitude and delivered himself up to
his melancholy in all it's acuteness.
At the dawn of his manhood he had
some hope Of equality and freedom,
but later he saw his compartiots in
chains, kissing the hand that OPP
pressed them. They were no longer a
free people, and followers of hero
animated by his virtues which they
feared to emulate. What was he to
do as a genius and leader OF men?
There was only one thing for the
great Napoleon to do, and that was
to take the bit in his own mouth and
make France the greatest Empire of
the world. Had Grouchy come up as
ordered by Napoleon from Quartre
Bras before the arrival of Bulow
with the Prussian advance guard,
the map and history of Europe would
have been different from what it is
today.

GEORGIA MAN WANTS TO
ERECT A MONUMENT TO
MARY PHAGAN.

Dear Sir: 1t is my purpose to
erect a monument to the memory of
the little working girl, Mary Phagan,
who gave her life for her virtue I
can hardly hope to succeed unless
the press of the country and the
good women become interested.
Would the Jeffs get behind the move
ment? My plan as present formu-
lated is that each one interested
constitute him or herself a commit
tee of one to solicit subscriptions;
that every church or other religious
institution, all fraternal orders, in
deed every home where God is hon
ored and virtue is cherished should
it seems, want a mite in this mo-
mortal to virtue. Let all contribu-
tions be placed in the hands of the
ordinary of each county, or other
responsible person, who will deposit
same with North Georgia Banking
Co., Cohutta, Ga. A committee is
being selected to act as trustees Of
the fund J. c. PARROT.

An INTERESTING LETTER. FROM
A NORTH CAROLINA FRIEND.

My Dear Mr., Watson: | am more
than pleased with the result of your
trial, for using obscene language
against the domination of Roman
Catholicism in the South. I am
heartily in sympathy with you and
your important work. This question
is what impeached Sulzer, one of the
best governors known in the State of
New York, and what will GUST every
honest Office holder in the u. S. un-
less he has sufficient manhood to
hold to integrity. / am more than
pleased with your course, You are
not only establishing a new era for
the South, but you are planting i'm
proved seed for the world. Your
Battle Of Waterloo is the truth, I
have information from first hand,
and know it is true, the aristocratic
writer's wrote for the benefit of their
aristocratic readers, and the whole
push remained mum, until you and
others, came ont with the truth, you
have stated facts just about like they
are. What brought back Napoleon
Bonaparte from Alba in 1915? It
was the plumbers of the roya1ists,
the outrageS Of the returned emil
grents, and the uninteresting appear
ance of Louis XIV, included with the
abuse Of the Royal press, and the
irritability of the measures adopted
by the Royal press of the existing
government. France could hardly
endure to be made ridiculous after
having been humbled, accustomed to
have at her head and as her represen-
tative man before whom all Europe
trembled as a vast genius, and of
Greek beauty, she could i'll brook to
have him replaced by a equity non
nifty. It was the brightest trait in
e character of Napoleon that he
snifested the sweetest considera-
IN for his parents, brothers and
tiers. Such lofty traits could not
ave emanated from any one of less
Aoble sentiment. To my mind Napo-
@leon Bonaparte was the greatest gen.
eral and warrior of modern times.

IDAHO PIE COUNTER
Democrats Who are Likely to Land
Good Places.

Dame Democracy, in charge of the
federal pie counter in Idaho, who has
been courted by ardent wooers in both
factions of the party so bitterly OPP
posed to each other, may be able to
bring her suitors together on harmon
ious ground without blOOdshed, for it
has leaked out that she Is making
strenuous efforts to dispense the fed
eral patronage and with the consent
of the Hawley-Perky wing, 1t is said,
has offered to no less parsonage
than John F. Nugent, former chair
man of the state central committee
and leader of the Nugent-Pence fac
ton, the United States district attor-
neyship if his clan will meet the OPP
posing faction on common ground and
agree on the applicants for other fed
eral positions. While not candidate
for the appointment of district attor-
ney, Mr.. Nugent and his followers are
seriously considering the offer.
1t is said in Democratic political
circles that the more important slate
on federal patronage may look some
thing like this:
District attorney-JOhn f. Nugent
United States marshal-Ben r. Gray.
Boise pOstmaster-Peter M. Davis.
Receiver Blackfoot land office
Judge C. E. Modem.

How the Einel Tower Moves.

That the Eiffel Tower moves daily
in a vertical and horizontal sense has
long been beyond doubt Apart from
the scientific laws of expansion and
contraction. which inevitably affected
1t, one could see it during gale sway
ing from side to side. But it's vertical
movements were a mere matter of
conjecture until NJ Guillaume under
took to investigate them. He shows
that the great iron structure may vary
an inch in height every day. The ele-
walton or depression is not equally dis
tributed, as only one of it's sides may
be affected by the rise or fall OF the
temperature, and thus the tower may
be compared to person shifting his
weight alternately from one foot to
the other.
