After Agents Next.

t"The next plan we have under con-

relating to the work Of agents of
brewing and liquor houses in the state.
This law has never been enforced
heretofore because we have been I'M
able to get to it, but we expect to get
to it very shortly. The law is very
explicit, making it unlawful to solicit
liquor orders in the state.

Federal Regulations Help.

FEDERAL regulations have, in the
main, been responsible for new condi-
tions surrounding the shipment OF
liquor into North Dakota, although
new state regulations also have had a
big effect in bringing about the
change.
"As we understand it, the man who
has ever been convicted in the state of
blindpigging, will have a hard time to
secure any liquor. The railroads are
engaged in preparing an order cover
ing the situation, this order growing
out of the Webb law. When the rail-
roads refused to handle liquor to such
men, the blindpigging business will be
practically a thing of the past.
Removal Power Effective.
THE new state law which gives the
governor the power to remove police
officials failing to enforce the law has
had a good effect. In many counties
of the state We see a changed atti-
tude as concerns law enforcement, and
this condition, we believe, will be-
come even more satisfactory as the
full power Of the governor is more
thoroughly appreciated.
after July l the gambling evil al
so will be minimized by the new gam
bling law. This law, effective July 1,
gives the courts the power to close
buildings in which gambling may be
conducted, being patterned after the
blindpig injunction law. It will cover
all kinds of gambling, including the
slot machines, dice boxes, card play
ing, etc. It will be the death knell of
gambling.

will go on trial in the United States
district court tomorrow morning,
charged with using the mails for the
transmission of obscene matter.
Mr. Watson was indicted by a
Federal Grand Jury last spring. The
charges against him resulted from
the publication in Watson's Jefferso-
MAN of the issue of July, 1911, and
in Watson's Magazine Of the issues
of April and May, 1912, of articles
denouncing the Roman Catholic
Church. In one of these articles he
referred to the church beliefs as
''the most profigate of pagan reli-
gions.''
The Indictment.
The indictment, which was filed
November 10, 1912, contains three
counts, and declares these publica-
tions. one of which was in Latin, to
be of such "obscene, lewd, lascivious
and filthy character "as to be often
sive to the court if set forth in the
IhO1CCI4C11ts CAAAO III CAoG 1Cc1OOA ChC
Indictment does not contain the pas
sages to which objection is taken.
Preliminary Last April.
Mr.. Watson was given a prelimi-
nary hearing in Augusta on April
9TH, this year. At that time he ap-
peared in his own defense. He then
set up the claims that the articles
he had published in his magazines
could be no more Objectionable than
passages which he quoted from the
Bible. If he were guilty of the
charge, he claimed, it would be a
violation of the law to send a Bible
through the mails. AS the basis of
his attack upon the Roman Catholic
Church, Watson stated he used as
his authority book published by
Professor Chiniquy.
Watson is now under $500 bond.
To Be First Case Called.
The Watson case will be the first
called and the first business to claim
the attention of the Federal Court
when it convenes tomorrow. Hon.
S. G. McLendOn, Of Atlanta attOr-
ney for Watson, recently held a con-
ference with Hon. Alexander Aker-
man, United States district attorney,
at which time it was agreed that the
trial of Watson should be called
Monday, October Goth Judge Ru-
fus E. Foster, who will preside in
place of Judge Emory Speer, ratified
the agreement.
Mr.. Watson is expected to arrive
in Augusta today from his home in
Thomson. His lawyer. Mr. McLen-
don, arrived yesterday.
Judge Rufus e. Foster, Of the
Southern District of Louisiana, with
headquarters in New Orleans, will
arrive here this afternoon from At
lanta. He has engaged quarters at
the Albion Hotel. The United States
attorney and his assistant, the Uni
ted States marshal and his deputy
and other court officials will reach
here this afternoon.
The Augusta Herald rightful-
ly considers the case of import

It's issue of Sunday:
Of tremendous interest, not only
in this city and section but through
out the country, will be the trial of
Mr.. Thomas E. Watson, the Thorn
son, Ga, editor and publisher, on
tomorrow, in the United States
court for the Southern District of

Georgia. He is charged Win V1olat-
ing section gil of the penal code,
which prohibits sending obscene
matter through the mails. Judge
Rufus E. Foster, of the United
States District Court for the East
ern District of Louisiana, will be
the presiding judge, in the absence
of Judge Emory Speer, the Georgia
jurist who is now very prominently
in the public eye because of the in
vestigation of his record by the de-
partment of justice. During the in
vestigation. Judge Speer has decided
not to preside, so it is understood,
over any court.
Mr.. Watson will be represented
by Hon. S. G. McLendon, former
railroad commissioner of Georgia, a
one-time candidate for governor and
an attorney Of ability. Representing
the government will be District At
torney Alexander Alderman, with
the assistance Of Arthur H. Cod
dington, assistant district attorney.
Mr. Watson is now under a bond Of
$500, to appear before the court
whenever wanted, and it is, of
course, expected that he will be on
hapd Monday morning when his
case, the first on the docket. will be
sounded.
The call for a session Of the Uni
ted States court here at this time
states that it is for the purpose of
trying the case of Thomas E. Wat
son and for the consideration of any
other business that may come to the
attention of the court. Mr.. Watson,
having already been indicted, can be
tried without any further ado.
Jury Drawn ON Monday Last.
On last Monday traverse jury
was drawn and the twelve men who
are to pass on the Watson case will
doubtless be selected from the list
drawn from the jury box by Deputy
Clerk G. J. Skinner, in the presence
of Deputy Marshal E. G. Pierce, rep
resenting the marshal of the South
ern district of Georgia. Assistant
District Attorney Arthur Fl. Cod
dington, representing the district at
torney; Mr.. H. G. Maxwell, one of
the jury commissioners, and Major
c.. E. McGregor, of Warrenton, Ca,
represented Mr.. Watson.
The Indictment against Mr.. Wat
son was returned on November 10.
1912. He was indicted on three
counts, it being alleged that in the
April, May and July numbers of his
Jeffersonian Magazine he published,
in Latin, matter that was obscene,
which acts were and are alleged to
be contrary to the laws of these Uni
ted States and the peace and dignity
thereof. ID
Specifically stated, Mr.. Watson is
charged with printing in Latin ques-
tions which he alleges Roman Cath
Ollie priests ask women and girls in
the confessional box. At the time
the indictment was returned against
the Thomson editor and former
Popuiist candidate for president,
there was a great dealsof interest in
the affair throughout the .cpuntrTx

Just how the grand jury stood on
the question of indicting Watson
came out later and it was learned

Claims Prior Publication.
Mr.. Watson further undertook to
show that the very same matter set
up against him was circulated
through the mails, time and again,
in the past, and without protest by
other publishers, including Professor
Peck. of the University of Virginia.
Mr.. Watson claimed at the hear
ing that the entire matter then up
was attempted persecution by Cath
olics, against whom the editor for
months had been leveling his dead
Hest and most venomous darts.
Mr.. Watson developed the fact
that the postoffice inspector pro-
ceeding against him was Robert F.
Sharp, and that the specific work
objected to was in his book 'The
Roman Catholic Hierarchy, the
Deadliest Menace to Our Liberties
and Civiliation.''
This work is bitter attack on
Catholicism in general and upon the
priesthood in particular
Mr.. Watson's defense on trial to-
morrow will be practically the same
as that advanced originally.
On the first trial he said that he
was historian, who had written
number Of books now on the market,
that he had been a great student
and had studied eXhaustively the
methods of the Roman Catholic
Church, and had begun several
months before a serial in his month
ly magazine on the Roman Catho-
lie Hierarchy" and had printed
number of questions in Latin which
priests are said to ask women in the
confessional. He said that he used
Latin because he expected only
those who were deeply interested in
the questions to have the words
translated.
The defendant stated that Profess
sor Chiniquy, a former Catholic
priest, had written two books which
were published by Fleming II. Re
vile & Co., New York, Chicago and
Toronto, containing the same ques-
tions, and that one of those books
had gone into it's forty-third edition,
and yet Chiniquy had never been
prosecuted. The two books are
Fifty Years in the Church of
Rome and "The Priest, the Woman
and the Confessional"
Watson said that the same ques-
tions were also printed in a book
issued by the Jordan Publishing
Company, Philadelphia and New
York, in 1895, and that "Castillian
Days." by John Hay, former Secre-
tary of State, published by Hough-
ton, Miffin & Co., Riverside Press,
Cambridge, Mass, contained lam
guage far worse than any of these
books, said Watson, circulated in the
mails without protest.
Mr.. Watson claims that he always
got along we'll with the postal au-
thorities until certain eminent Cath
olics prevailed upon Postmaster GEN.
eral Hitchcock to attack him, and
that Hitchcock undertook the attack
through the proceedings then on
trial Mr.. Watson stressed the fact
that he copyrighted his book before
entering it in the mails and that
therefore it was all right. The Gov
eminent holds, however. that a copy
right does not give the unquestioned
right of the mails.
While the case was first being
heard in the Commissioners office,
there were many pro-Watson DEM
Onstrations, and finally the hearing
had to be. adjourned to a private
room. Out of this trial grew the in
dictment to be heard tomorrow.

sioner Goodwin to the Federal

Augusta, Oct. 18.--Thomas E.
Watson, editor of The Jeffersonian
publication, former nominee Of the
PopUlist party for President of the
United States, running mate of Will
liam J. Bryan on the same party
ticket in 1896, lawyer and author,
will be placed in trial here Monday
upon a Federal Indictment charging
him with sending obscene matter
through the mails.
The Governments case will be
handled by United States District
Attorney Alexander Alderman. of
Macon, assisted by Arthur H. Adding

Justice. Mr.. Watson will be defend
ed by Colonel Guyt McLendon of
Atlanta, former Railroad Commits

lifelong friend of the accused. Judge
Rufus e. Foster will preside, Judge
Speer being disqualified.

but this does not, in the eyes of the
Grand Jury, relieve the author
thereof in the least.
Questions Relate to Church.
The sentences objected to by the
Government relate to questions said
to be asked in the confessional by
Catholic priests of women and girls
coming to confession.
Several weeks before Mr.. Watson
was indicted he was arrested upon a
Federal warrant charging him with
the same Offcnse, and at the hearing
upon this warrant much of the
States case was developed.
This hearing, curiously enough,
was held before United States Com
missioner Walter H. Goodwin, in Au
gusta, which is near Mr.. Watson's
country home, and Goodwin later
committed suicide in Savannah by
shooting himself through the heart.
At. the first hearing it was estab-
lished that the matter complained of
