THOs. E. WATSON, OF GEORGIA, TO STUDY
HISTORIC HAUNTS OF sTRATFORD.
Special Cable to The Washington Post
London, May 23.-An interesting American
who arrived here this week is Thomas E. Watson,
of Georgia. once candidate for the Presidency on
the Populst ticket. He has many friends this
side.
Mr.. Watson intends to devote most Of his vaca-
ton to study Of the historic haunts of Stratfogd-
on-AVon.

Smith Oh Georgia Us Backing
Up the Republican Dis
trics Attorney.
MOT only in Georgia are the motives actual
Ing the persecution of me we'll understood,
but they are thoroughly understood in other
states, as the following sample letter shows:
Choudrant, La, May 27, 1914.
Dear Old Friend: I see that the Republican
District Attorney is paying his political debts by
getting another bill against you for sending
obscene matter through the mails It's as plain
case that Alderman has been retained in office
by Hog-eye Smith to try and put you out Of
business as can be. I only common man
with common sense, and 1 had seen that, and
had told some friends the same l do hope you
will be able to beat the case, and know you will
it you are tried before Just Judge.
we old stand-byes are as usual, ready to help
you all we can in any way you need it. You
have many warm friends in this part of Louis-
ana, and always have and always will. ordered
10 of your subscription cards few days ago and
nave sold them all, and put for the
Jefs that had read after you before
Reassuring you that sympathize with you and
that you get help financially if need be,
close. Respectfully,
J. l.. ANDERSON.
There are not many crimes in the Penal
Code that the self-appointed Senator Smith
has not committed, or caused to be committed
Unfortunately, we have thousands of peo-
pie In Georgia who cannot bring themselves
to believe that man who talks SO fairly and
smiles SO sweetly can be such a criminal
He never knew enough of the law to do
anything more than bring damage suits
against railroads, and these cases he obtained
by rushing his agents to the scene Of the
wreck.
His briefs were generally prepared for him
by such thorough lawyers as Henry Peoples.
He knows nothing Of constitutional law
and craftsmanship; but he looks so big and
wise that the awed spectators in the galleries
are kept guessing as to whether he is half
brother to Daniel Webster.
He poses as the champion of Prohibition,
and pockets thousands Of dollars year on
the profits of beer saloon in Atlanta
Organized Labor kneels at his number
twelve feet and adores him as the giant
friend of American toilers; yet he went with
Gunby Jordan to Trieste, Austria, and
arranged plan, "to food the State with
cheap labor"
He drew up bill to broaden our Agricultu-
raj Department into an Immigration Bureau,
to dodge the Federal law against the impor-
tation of contract labor.
The mills in Columbus, Macon, Augusta,
Atlanta, and Gainesville, were going to dis
charge all their American breadwinners and
fill their places with cheap, ignorant Catho-
lies from Italy and Austria.
Goliath Smith took this trip to Europe
Immediately after his election as governor in
1906 Gunby Jordan went with him.
These two heaven-born patriots tried to
make the necessary contracts for cheap labor
in Bremen, Germany.
They failed at Bremen, and were advised
that Trieste was the place where they could
make their patriotic deal.

VINO saw her Son, alter the Resurrection.
The following IS a fair sample of the
Romanist twltterings on that subject:
THE MONTH OF MARY.
What an admirable institution is the month of
Mary! 1t is the month of spring and of flowers.
1t belongs then to beloved Mother whom
Holy Scripture calls the Flower of the Fields the
Lily-of-the-Valleys, the Rose of the Gardens Of
Jericho.
Children Of the best of mothers, let us hail
with Joy this blessed month which brings us each
year so much joy, happiness, and consolation. In
the words of Scripture: "This month shall be to
you the beginning of months; it shall be the first
in the months of the years." Elk 12:2.-Catholic
News, New York
What has become of all the Pope's scholars?
He used to pretend to have the best that could
be found.
Apparently, all the learned men have quit
the Papa, and have joined the ranks Of Truth,
Reason and Common Sense.
The month of May bears a strictly heather
name, just as our days of the week do.
The name of May was the old Roman third
month, and those who say the name was not
applied from Maia, the mother Of the mytho-
logical god Mercury, are driven to the neces-
sity of saying that the name was in use among
the Romans before they ever heard of Mer-
curry.
The word can be traced back to the remote
East from whence came so many of our
modern names, ideas, stories, inventions, &c.
The Bible text on which the Catholic Ne2cs
bases it's reference>to the month Of May, does
not mean Nag, at all, but means the MONTH Of
April.
The Jewish abb, was the new moon in the
Towering month, which in the hot chimes of
Palestine, Arabia and Mesopotamia was never
later than the first week in April
Some scholars even contend that the month
referred to in the Scrptural text, CORES
pended with our month of March.
There is no authority whatever for identi-
flying that "frst of months with our May.
But it is all right and appropriate, that
the paganistic worship of a Queen Of the
Heavens, Mother of God, should take place
in month that was named after pagan

grown morbid, nervous, unsociable.
He acted like a man who was con-
