LETTER FROM GEN. JACOB
COXEY,
Wrightsville, Ga.
COXEY.

Dear Thos. E. Watson Enclosed
find $1.25 for which please send me
Handbook of Politics and Economics,
Watson Life and Speeches, and Wat
sons Roman Sketches.
I had a hearing bfOre the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee on
October 23, 1913, showing them
something practical for the benefit of
all the people on banking and am
having it, together with the hearing
I had on January 9Th, 1895, before
subcommittee of Ways and Means
of which w. J. Bryan was chairman
on the non-interest bond plan for all
public improvements, also my full
argument on what has brought on
the present business depression and
how to change it and prevent it's re-
curing again put into pamphlet form.
When out will send you q copy. Am
glad to see you hitting them hard, as
such blows will finally prevail, / know
it is as hard for me to keep quiet, as
it is for you, when we know and see
q man like Bryan sitting in high
places being looked up to and re-
spected when he has betrayed the
trust and confidence Of the people.
He has melted his cross of gold for
basis of credit for the new Uanking
system and now feeding the c0nfid-
ng public the thOrns from his crown.
Wishing you success and that we may
both live to see it, | remain,
Yours truly,

THIS IOWAN THINKS SLIM JIM
GIBBONS CAN'T ANSWER.
NO: HE CAN'T.

Dear Brother Watson: Your Feb
Tuary Watson's Magazine contains
one Of the best articles ever handed
Slim Jim and his church.
How can he ever answer it? He
will not and he dare not try to ans
wer some of your questions. That
article will hold him for awhile.
You certainly have the history at
the ends Of your fingers and you can
tell it to 'em. | would like to see
you in the race for the Presidency.
There Shore" would be "some"
housekeeping when you would get
in the Pope's palace in Washington.
Things are rotten everywhere, espe-
cially in Boston where the Hierarchy
is in power.
You are the original starter of
these things, and I should Judge that
you had about 200 years experience,
after reading your various writings.
Yours for freedom,

WHAT AN OLD COLLEGE FRIEND
THINKS OF THAT REPLY TO
j. CARD. GIBBONS.

Dear Tom: I write to say that
nothing I ever read thrilled me as
your reply to Cardinal Gibbons did.
have been trying for week to find
time to tell you so. In my opinion,
for the general public, this is more
effective than your History of the
Hierarchy. May l suggest that if you
put this answer into pamphlet form
so that it could be sold at small price
it would find very wide circulation?
I hope you will do this as l would be
delighted to help distribute it.
AS ever your friend,
ALEX E. KEESE.

Note; By the shades Of the early
Seventies, at Old Mercer University,
this suggestion of First-honor

HELP! HELP! HERE'S ANOTHER
SOCIALIST MAKING LOVE TO
THOS. e.

Dear Sir: Please allow me just
one word in defense of Mr.. Wood
chopper, whose letter appeared in
your last weeks Jeff.
First, I assure you I am an old line
Populist and voted for Bryan and
Watson in 1896, being in another
State at that time, but since the death
of the Populist party have voted with
the Socialists as I saw no other place
to go.
Now Tom, I, like Mr.. Woodchop-
per, am strong admirer of yours,
have preached Tom Watson doctrine
in season and out, I am with you on
your fight on foreign missions and [
am with you teeth and toe nails, in
your fight on old Papa Sarto, but
am not with you in your fight on So
cialism. You say all We have to do
is to abolish special privilege, very
good. Now how are we going to
abolish special privilege? Surely not:
through the Democratic party. On
one page you tell how the present adj
ministratiOn has handed us over to
the bankers bound hand and foot,
and on the next that the Omaha plat
form is being enacted into law right
along. Now Tom, don't you think it
will take at least thousand years to
get that grand old platform written
into law at the rate we are going?
The trouble with the average work.
ing man is he seldom does anything
for himself, but when he does don his
think cap he is gone helI-bent as you
say, to the Socialist party. He shore
am, and the devil himself can't stop
him.
To hold Mr. Woodchopper up to
ridicule and make fun OF him does
not answer his questions, and this is
the first time l ever saw you whipped,
stumped, freed, run in the ground, or
what not.
No doubt dear Tom, you have no
ticed that the old parties grant us
little crumbs just in proportion to the
Socialist vote, the bigger the vote the
more the crumbs. So come over
where you can do some good and
don't sneak back into the Democratic
party where you came from.
Yours very truly,
JAMES STUMPGRUBBER
Tennessee.

Many Students Earn Own Way.

Statistics published In the fifty-sec-
ond annual report of the state board
Of agriculture. which just made its ap-
pearance show that in the entering
class OF NJ. A. G. this year only 81 per
cent. of the students were dependent
upon their parents for financial sup
port, 36 per cent. were self-supporting
and ten per cent. partially relied upon
their own efforts.
Statistics have never been gathered
from the other classes. but il is assert
ed that more upper-classmen than un-
der-classmen are dependent upon their
own resources.
Waiting table, stenography, laun-
dry agencies, newspaper work, jan
itor work, selling pennants, jewelry,
shoes and articles OF clothing, and
teaching were among the capacities In
which students were engaged during
their time in school.
The average age of entering was
20.4 years and of graduating 1916
years, showing a greater tendency ex-
hibited by the younger students to
remain in school for the full four
years.
Sixty-seyen per cent. OF the stu
dents entered with high school diplo-
mas, and OF those enrolling last year
80 per cent had Withdrawn at the end
OF the year.
Eight and ninetehths per cent. OF
these had been removed by the fac.
ulty because( of inability to keep up
in class work. One and seven.tenths
per cent. for disciplinary reasons.
and single instance was recorded
OF dismissal for dishonesty
The report shows that the enroll.
ment OF engineers is only 100 less
than at the university. More than
55 per cent. of the students in the
enrolling class last year took the
agricultural and forestry course. The
Methodist Episcopal church claimed
the greatest number OF students, with
a total OF 15l.

Representative Lenroot. Republican,
OF Wisconsin, said:
until now the suffrage cause in the
United States and in England were on
entirely different planes. The Demo
cratic caucus has put the suffragists
of the United States in the same class
with the suffragettes OF England. The
Democrats have denied the women and
men who believe In suffrage the oppor-
tunity to be heard. That Is right the

Representative Slayton OF Texas de-
clared there seemed to be disposl.
tion to fail to differentiate between
revolutionary movements and indi-
vidual crimes of anarchy and arson.
Chairman Burnett moved to end de.
bate on the provision and was charged
by Mr.. Manahan with using unfair
methods to rush his bill through the
house. Mr.. Burnett characterized the
accusation as lie. The house was

ity In Southern RepubIic-Huerta
Files Unofficial Protest.

Washington, Feb. 6.--The proclama
ton lifting the embargo on arms for
! Mexican rebels was made official Oh
| Tuesday by President Wilson.
The presidents proclamation is as
| follows:
Whereas, by proclamation OF
| the president issued on March IA
1912, under a joint resolution OF con
gress, approved by the president on
the same day, it was declared that
there existed in Mexico conditions OF
domestic violence which. were pro-
noted by the use of arms or munitions
OF war procured from the United
States; and
Whereas, BY the joint resolution
above mentioned it thereupon became
unlawful to export arms or munitions
OF war TO Mexico except under such
limitations and exceptions as the pres
ident should prescribe;
Nov, therefore, l, Woodrow Will
son. president of the United States OF
America, hereby declare and proclaim
that, as the conditions have changed,
and it is desirable to place the United
States with reference to the eXporta-
tion of arms or munitions of war to
Mexico, in the same position as other
powers, the said proclamation IS here
by revoked
I'm witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
WOODROW WILSON.
BY the President:
"W ]. BRYAN, Secretary of State"
President Wilson accompanied the
proclamation with the following state
ments:
The executive order under which
the expectation OF arms and ammuni-
tion into Mexico is forbidden, was a
departure from the accepted practices
of neurality-a deliberate departure
from those practices under well con-
sidered joint resolution of congress
determined upon in circumstances
which have now ceased to exist. 1t
was intended to discourage incipient
revolts against the regularly consti.
tuted authorities of Mexico.
Since that order was issued the
circumstances of the case have under
gone a radical change. There is now
no constitutional government in Mex
leo; and the existence OF this order
hinders and delays the very thing
the government of the United States
is now insisting upon, namely. that
Mexico shall be left free TO settle her
own affairs and as soon as possible
put them upon constitutional foot
ing by her own force and counsel.
The order is therefore rescinded."
Mexico City, Feb. 5.-Many of the
Americans resident here, on learning
Of President Wilson's decision to
raise the embargo on the expectation
OF arms from the United Stetes to
Mexico left the capital on Tuesday for
the coast on the night train.
