Italian POpery at Gadsden,
Alabama.

Dear Sir: I have been a reader
of your weekly Jeff for some weeks,
and [ like the way you handle the
Roman Catholic question, | endorse
the stand you take on the question,
and [ see they are trying to put you
to the wall, but they will not succeed
l am sure. There is an old adage
which says, you can't keep good
man down. Just keep on doing it.
This means whole lot to me, as /
belong to two patriotic orders.
We are trying to hold them down
here in Gadsden, but everybody but
the Catholics seem to be asleep, they
have succeeded in muzzling the press
at this place.
l notice rather long winded talk
by the editor of Comfort in the June
Issue on the war with Mexico. He
says truly that President Wilson
missed his opportunity of settling
the Mexican war without bloodshed,
and says further that we have gone
far enough, that we cannot back
down, in other words, we must finish
the job. He says further on that the
war is justfied-not by the arrest
Of few soldiers, nor Huertas re-
Lu0d1 " od1uC0 our uOU10 udS-DuC
justified by the many crimes COM
mitted against our citizens in Mexico
Now why in the thunder do people
want to go to Mexico for? Isn't
there room and to spare in this grand
country of ours, when low down for
eigners are coming in on every boat
that lands on our fair shores?
[ say let them stay in this coun-
try; when man sticks his head in a
lions mouth he must needs look out
or he will get crushed. The afore-
said editor says that the masses of
Mexico are not intelligent enough to
rule themselves, that it is semi-bar-
barious, and that self-government is
Impossible with such people. Now,
] have not made personal study Of
the civilization of Mexico, and am
not prepared to give an opinion of
the question, and if I can get any
light on it I would like to have it.
l will close for this time, hoping
this will escape the waste basket,
and wishing much success to the
Jeffs. Yours truly,
Ala. l.. w. GRANT.

HELD FOR FIXING FOOD PRICES.
Thirty-four Dealers Indicted by Fed.
eral Grand Jury.

Washington Thirty two indict
ments were returned here by federal
grand Jury after an investigation to
determine whether food prices had
been artificially increased on the pre-
text of having been caused by the Eu-
ropean war. Bench warrants were is-
sued for all the indicted men, who are
local commission merchants or prod
duce dealers. and bail was arranged
for their appearance in court. No ma
ticnally known concerns were in
dicted.
The indictments charge that they
have been fixing prices every day on
foodstuffs by ballots" or "sugges
tions," or verbal agreements. and that
the fixed prices have been circulated
by printed circulars. The indictments
are under the Sherman law and con
viction carries a fine of $4,000 or one
years Imprisonment, or both.

Austria Hard Pressed.

Following a severe, repulse at the
hands of the German-Austrian army
about ten days ago, the Russians ap-
pear to have had unbroken success at
arms. They have covered the Aus
trian provinces of Galicia and Buka-
wilma and captured the provincial
capitals of Lemberg and Czernowitz,
the latter 200 miles south Of the Rus
sian border.
They have overrun German East
Prussia as far west as Konigsberg,
and hold this city. The czar declares
he has five million men in the field
now. with four million more trained
reserves. The objective point is Ber-
lin and the advance line rs said to be
200 miles long.
Turkey is still neutral, though she
is daily expected to join forces with
Germany. The action Of Turkey is of
grave importance, for If she joins the
conflict, an attack by Greece, Italy,
Bulgaria, Roumania, Servia and Mon
tenegro on her is imminent The lat
ter two states are occupied at present
