[ AM OPPOSED TO ANY MORE
FEDERAL LAWS INTERFERE
ING WITH OUR STATE
AFFAIRS.

Dear Sir: I enjoy your editorials
very much, especially on politics. I
agree with you on your stand against
Slaton and w. j. Harris, and more
especially the way you handled
Burns. He is the biggest fakir,
dirty scoundrel and most willfuI,
lawless man unhung. Concerning
the new tax law, suppose you let the
law stand as it is and amend by
passing national law, forcing all
notes, bonds, stocks, ETC., to be re-
corded in the county in which each
holder lives in order to make them
legal as collateral or collectab BILE, and
that they must be recorded when
transferred to make their titles good,
just as real-estate transfers are
made now. In this way the tax as
SCISSORS could keep a record of all Of
them and eliminate the tax lodging
that is done at the present time, and
benefit the little property holders.
II Rufe Hutchens, or any other as
pirant to the Senate, will put such
plank in a platform agreeing to in
trodUce such a bill and fight for it,
[ will vote, and use what little in
fuence I have for him. But if not,
| will work for some one that is will
ing to attempt to help tighten our
burden. Will you ask some Of the
Congress and Senate aspirants will
they support such a bill or some
thing similar. We want men in Con-
gress and the Senate that will vote
according to their own conscience,
not according to the dictates of the
men higher I'D. Such men as Nat Har-
ris for Governor, and Rufe Hutchens
for Senate. [ never read any of your
Catholic exposures, excepting that I
get mad enough to wish that | was
standing army with the authority of
Wiping out all officers that are re-
sponsible for these conditions I
have sworn never to enlist in the
army again unless in q race war, but
/ hereby make an exception and
state that I would enlist doubIy
quick as a soldier to fight the pop
ish clans.
I was disguised with the methods
Of Catholicism while in Manila, but
I never dreamed of one-tenth Of the
outrageous custom until I began
reading the Jeff. l can hardly wait
to get to town Wednesday morning
to get the Jeff. Keep up the good
work, and may God spare you

the dirty monks and priests and their
dirty customs. Your admirer,

OLD SOUTH CAROLINA, TOO.

Dear Mr.. Watson: The stand that
you have taken in the Frank case has
made you friends here by the score.
Just stand your ground and pour the
red-hot truth to them just as you
have been doing, and rest assured
that the honest thinking people of
the country are with you and will
be your defender. Send the Jeff to
the list of names enclosed for which
you will find P. o. money order for
same. Respectfully,

YES! THE INQUIsITION HAS
AGAIN BEEN SET UP, AND
DEMANDS ITS VICTIMS.


Dear Sir: The Roman wolves are
after the Hon. Thos. e. Watson,
Are we living in the days of the
lnquisition? Has the Roman Hierar-
chy taken full possession of our
courts? Is there one Law for the
Professionals and another Law for Ro-
man Catholics? 1t looks very much
that way.
Mr.. Watson dug up and published
some of the vile questions that the
catholic priests put to women and
girls in the confessional. These
questions asked by the priests are
too obscene for a Protestant to send
through the mails The Roman
Catholics have been sending the
same stuff through the mails for
more than fifty years.
Suppose that one Of we fool Prot
estants should take notion to call
on some nice lady in our community
and put these vile questions to her?
What would be the consequences?
In few hours we would expect the
husband, brother or father in hot
pursuit with double-ba barrel shot
gun loaded with buck shot, and if
over taken would be shot down at
once, and the Laws Of Georgia would
not punish the slayer
Mr.. Watson exposed these rotten
questions to warn husbands and
fathers Of the dangers that their
wives and daughters would come in
contact with in the vile dens of the
Roman priest.
These prosecutors of Mr.. Watson
NOT hat ",
published something that is not true.
The trouble is the Roman Hierarchy
does not want the world to know of
their dastardly deeds, they want the
people kept IN ignorance. The Pope
OF Rome has his Waterman, Tumul-
ty, on the tower at Washington,
standing between our President and
the Protestants Of America. Tumul-
ty receives the PRESIDENT mail, he
can consign to the flames just such
things as he does not want the Presi-
dent to see. He can keep the Pope
at Rome posted concerning the pro-
gress that his agents are making to
capture America for the Pope.
The Roman Hierarchy now have
all our daily papers muzzled. Ninety
per cent of all the officers of the big
cities are Roman Catholics. These
officers, like Tumulty, are sworn to
obey above all others, their Holy
Papa.
These prosecutors of Mr.. Watson
should be scorned by every Protest
ant in America, and every Protest
ant that has one spark of patriotism
about him should teach these Roman
wolves that this is the land of the
free and the home of the brave We
should let them know that they are
nearing a Volcano That this is our
fight as we'll as Mr. Watson's, and
that we will stand by his side to the
last ditch. That with our own blood
we will defend the blood bought lib
critics Of our forefathers.
Alexander Alderman, the tool of
these Roman wolves should meet
with the same reception wherever he
goes that w. J. Burns received at
Marietta, Ga.
Respectfully,
Ga. @. L. BUTLER.

Seeing San Juan Count,

A recent trip down the Red Apple
line convinced US that our southern
neighbors are commencing to realize
the measure Of their opportunities in
agricultural and horticultural lines,
and that if Durango is going to keep
apace with the prosperous country
surroundings, it will have to make
rapid strides.
Only a few years ago, the Posta,
Sunnyside and Elco sections were un-
claimed. Sage brush was about all
that greeted the eye for miles. Now
the fertile country is in high state
of cultivation, and this year has i'm
mense crops of grain, hay, fruit and
vegetables, and the land owners are
evidently beginning to give adequate
attention to the livestock industry.
So much has been said Of the fruit
in San Juan county, New Mexico,
this year that 1t quite overshadows
the other products. As a matter Of
fact the county is rapidly forging
ahead in the value of its farm pro-
duce. In former days we were ac-
cumtomed to dread fruit failure
down there as real calamity, but
the section is fast reaching the point
where a shortage In one crop or low
prices in another will no longer mean
financial embarrassment to the far
mer for diversified farming will prove
guaranty against financial adver-
sity.
In no section Of this part of the
west has nature scattered her bouu-
ties with more prodigal hand than In
the territory within the bounds Of
San Juan county, but the people have
seen some very hard times, but It
appears that they have prohted by
their past mistakes and failures and
from now on will build the country in
the most substantial way.
Not many years ago, when the Sec
ton produced good fruit crop, many
Of the residents sat down for q sea-
son or more and waited for . crop Of
buyers for the land, who would pay q
price for II based on the "fat" years
production, and they would move to .

places on this old globe. In the NV
order Of things, farming ia no longer
game of chance with one crop and
the weather. This years agricultural
and horticultural productions viii
eclipse all previous county records,
, and the farm owners are planning to
use their profits to improve their
lands and buildings, to put in great
/ cr acreage next year and to increace
their live stocks. They will BE- IL
excellent shape financially to carry Oh
next years work, which will repre-
sent well balanced and more inten-
sive agriculture. 1t requires NO gift
OF propesy to say what the future
has in store for them.
Slowly they are learning the lesson
of basing their agricultural operat-
lens on live stock. But it seems not
en' ugh attention is given to the dairy
industry. The country grows the
corn for silos, a large area Of alfalfa
and grain that makes phenomenal
yield. But the fact our Durango
creamery which is willing to pay the
top notch prices for cream IL handi-
capped by lack of it, won'd irdieats
the dairy possibilities are no. appre-
cisted there, nor are they in La flats
county as they 81 ould be.
Possibly the crop that proves the
greatest surprise is corn. Only a few
yt.rs ago 1t was not considered Of
s1.,ci-"i Importance to he included
in the ses,:on's crop repcrto':e. From
n few smo,! patches the eorn holt
has extended TO include many hun
dred acres, and this year the acreage
is 80 per cent greater than ever be-
fore. From the state line to Farm
ington there are = succession of corn
feds that are fine. In the Flora Viz
ia section we saw corn that compared
very favorably with the crop grown
in Iowa last year. Some Of the con-
scrvative agriculturists assured us
that it would average hundred BUSH
els to the acre, and the grower would
doubtless receive 2 cents a pound for
his entire production. 1t is better
than gold mine, isn't it?
