i Watson are in agreement on
very few subjects. Especial
ly do we disapproye his campaign to
stir up religious bitterness
Will you let me, in few words,
defend the Constitution against pos
slble misinterpretation. Mr.. Watson
is battling for that religious free
dom which cannot possibly, exist with
Church and State united, and is
battling against their union. This
is a governmental and not a reli-
gious question, and involves the life
Or death of the principle on which
the republic was founded. The
principle, separation of Church and
State, is written into the Federal
and into forty-eight State Constitu-
lions. The doctrines of Papacy are
antagonZstic to a separation bf
Church and State. Their union, ad-
vocated by Papacy, is fatal to liberty.
This is Mr.. Watsons contention,
and he does not concern himself
about anybodys religious beliefs
He demands freedom for religion
and opposes political tyranny Under
whatever guise it may present it
self.
The supporters Of Papal dogmas,
such as the claim, made by Gregory
XVI, in 1882, that:
'The Unrestricted freedom Of
thinking, and Of openly making
known ones thoughts to others is
not inherent in the rights of citi-
zens," hare their cause strengthened
and their pretensions indirectly, but
none the less effectively supported,
when they suppress discussion by
raising the cry of religious persecu-
ton. Mr.. Watson joins issue with
Papal declarations of infallibilfty,
viceregency, universal Papal domin-
ion, and union Of Church and State,
submission to which would over
throw our constitutional system of
government, with it's guarantees Of
freedom Of speech, OF the press, and
Of religion. His position is that
taken by most all American Roman
ist laymen during the administra-
ton Of President Pierce.
Your noble father, 9 brave Con-
feder2te soldier, patriotic Ameri-
can citizen, was required to take an
oath that he would defend and sup
port the Constitution Of the United
States against all enemies foreign
and domestic. Mr.. Watson is living
up to the oath your father took He
claims a resident Of Rome, Italy, set
ting up pretense that his will and
not the Constitution, is the supreme
law Of the land, becomes thereby an
enemy Of the Constitution,
You are in agreement with Mr..
Watson on this subject I am quite
sure. If not then you are in agree
ment with foreign enemy.
This is the issue Watson raises,
and the false cry of religious perse-
cution, cry, the raising of which
is encouraged by Papal shreWdness,
cannot much longer obscure the is
sue.
Yours very truly

It is true that Bryan's confidential
private secretary is a Roman Catho-
lie.
He and Wilson are betraying us to
Popery, and their secretaries help it
on.
Bryans son is being educated by
the Jesuits (Catholics) at the

The University of Virginia was not
good enough for Mr.. Bryan.
The Washington and Lee Univer-
sity was not good enough for Mr..
Bryan.
The Protestant college in Wash
ington City was not good enough for
Mr.. Bryan.
Nothing but a popish school was
good enough for Mr.. Bryan.
And nothing but a popish secretary

testimony Of those who know me will
Justify the foregoing statement.
May [ count on your support?
l will be grateful for >any sugges-
ton or information you may give me
at any time.
Assuring you that I stand ready
to render you any service in my
power and hoping to hear from you
at an early date, I am,
Sincerely yours,
JOHN M. SLATON.
LAGRANGE, Ca, May Is, 1914.
Hon. John NJ. Slaton,
Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Sir: Yours of the 14th
inst. received, calling my attention
to your candidacy for the United
States Senate, to succeed the la
mented A. o. Bacon.
[ appreciate your regard for the
ministry, and am sure you have
many personal friends among them,
and can assure you that, personally,
L have always been your friend; but,
as to giving you my support and in
f1uence in your aspirations to the
position as Senator, l cannot lead
you to a false hope.
In the first place, when Senator
Bacon died you were urged by thous-
ands Of your friends to appoint the
Hon. Thos. e. Watson to fill the va
cancy. Georgia has no son that
would have filled the place with
more dignity, or would have been
better qualified to have administered
the affairs of Government so ably as
Mr.. Watson. He demonstrated his
ability as statesman, and his I'M
swerving loyalty to truth and right,
when he was representing the Tenth
District in Congress. The people
are, today, reaping the fruits of his
labor, and many of them, like your
self, are very unappreciative of his
work. He was beaten in his cam
paign for the second term in Con-
gress, by the most pnlpably dishon-
est methods to which any political
party could resort, and you are per-
fectly conversant with the facts in
the case; and to have given him the
appointment, which he so justly de-
served, would have been only a par
tial vindication for the great wrongs
to which he has been forced to sub
nit.
In the second place there was a
tremendous cry, from the people all
over the State of Georgia, that you
contest the seat now occupied by the
Hon. Hoke Smith. Your friends
wrote you letters and called upon
you, and demanded that you enter
the race for Senator Smiths place.
You ignored their demands, virtually
slapped them in the face, and went
after the office which you thought
you could wiR without much effort
In this decision you made a tre-
mendous mistake, you could have
easily won the place to which the
people were calling you, but you ig~
nored their demands to serve your
own personal interet.
In the third place you tried to de-
feat the county unit plan, which
would have robbed the country coun-
ties of their voice in the selection Of
public officers, and given the cities
power to dominate the State; and,
if it had not been for Rufe Hutchens
and few other loyal citizens, our
political machinery would have been
turned over to set of political
tricksters and traitors.
No, Mr.. Slaton, l cannot support

U. OF 0. SERVES PEOPLE.
in Portland Alone More Than 500
Persons Apply for Extension
Teaching In Advanced
Branches.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Or,
Oct. 13.-An inkling of the day when
more of the labors of the State Uni
versity may be out in the state than
on the campus is given in the aston
ishing demand from Portland this
year for Extension classes.
Last year relatively modest band
of Portlanders received instruction
once a week from members of the
University faculty in certain bran
ches of English, in mathematics, and
in German. The work was all ad-
vanced, as the University does not
set out to give elementary instruc-
tion in Extension classes, leaving
that field for the local schools.
This fall more than 500 Portland
ers have already applied for this ex-
tension instruction, and although the
resources of the University will be
taxed severely the demand is to be
met if at all possible. These 500
were only the first comers: before
many weeks, the University may be
confronted by the problem Of hand
ling as large a number Of Extension
students in Portland as in residence
now upon the campus at Eugene
The Portland applicants are largely
professional persons whose aim is to
increase their efficiency. They are
not literary shoppers, hard work be-
ing required in these classes.
Similar Extension classes were
conducted last year in Medford, and
one or two other towns, and should
the call in future years from the
numerous smaller cities of the state
be as great is proportion as that
from Portland, an important addition
to the teaching force will be necess-
ary, together with a partial read
justment of the educational scheme.
Faculty members meet the study
groups personally.

BUREAU Of MARKETS
NEW BRANCH At 0.k.C.
Farmers Organizations Will Also Be
Considered in Connection
With Work.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Or, Oct. 12.-The problem of
farmers organizations and the mar
keting of agricultural products was
among the questions considered by
the board of regents at its meeting
Saturday. Upon recommendation of
the president, the board instructed
President Kerr to establish within
the school of commerc, and under the
direction of the department of ag-
ricultural economics, a bureau of or
ganization and markets.
The establishment of this bureau
marks somewhat new departure in
the activities of the college. The
need for such an organization has
long been felt throughout the state,
and the organized farmers of every
county have been insisting that the
college pay more attention to the
business needs of agriculture.
The possibility of satisfying this
long felt want through q contract
recently negotiated through Presi-
dent Kerr between the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, and the Office of
markets of the United States depa-.t-
ment of agriculture. According to
this contract, the bureau of organi-
zation and markets of the agricultur-
al college becomes the copartner of
the federal Office of markets in the
work of solving the marketing prob
lens of the state of Oregon.
This means that whatever funds
the federal Office has to spend in Ore
gon will be spent through the newly
established bureau of markets of the
agricultural college. 1t also means
that the farmers and farmers organ
izations of the state will be able to
obtain the results, not only of the
united forces of the agricultural col
lege covering every section of the
state, but also those obtained by the
large field force of the Uuited States
Office Of markets operating in every
state in the Union.

GERMANS CAPTURE
IMPORTANT CITY.
Antwerp, Last Big City of Belgium
Falls Into the Hands of the In
vading Germans After
Siege Lasting Ten Days.

Antwerp, the last large city, to
date, to fall before the German at
tack, is the principal seaport of Bel
GUM, and capital of the province of
Antwerp. This city is situated on
the Sheldt River, about fifty miles
from the sea. That the city has
strong Notifications was born out
by the fact that the Teutons were
held back as long as they were.
The city of Antwerp is the con-
verging center of many OF the i'm
portant railroad lines that connect it
with the commercial cities of Bel
GUM, Holland, France and Germany,
but which at the present time, ac-
cOrding to reports, are completely
demoralized, so far as commerce is
concerned.
There are extensive manufacturers
of machinery, cotton and woolen tex
tiles, silks, chemicals, leather, pot
terry, furniture, and canned and cured
meats and fish. The city has import
ant commercial relations with the
leading cities of Europe, and is a
point of departure for immigrants
for the United States. Among its
public buildings is a fine Gothic ca
thedral with spire 400 feet high
1t contains the famous paintings OF
Reubens, entitled, Descent from the
Cross Elevation of the Cross"
and Assumption" However these
paintings, which are so dear to the
hearts of the Antwerp people, were
removed from the city, to place of
safety, before Antwerp fell into the
hands of the Germans. The city also
has many hospitals, educational in
stitutions, public buildings, and sup
port a we'll organized public school
system. Gas and electric lights, nu-
merous libraries, several fine parks
and boulevards, and an extensive
system of street railways are among
the many modern improvements,
Antwerp was a place Of Importance
as early as the 18th century, and had
nearly regained the commercial
trade, which it lost by the wars be-
tween Spain and the Netherlands.
Before the present war broke out,
Antwerp had population of 2S5, 900
people, but since the opening of the
war, there has been a steady exodus
from that city. Six hundred thous-
and Belgians are seeking refuge in
England, to say nothing of those
that have fed to other countries.

OLD OREGON CREW SOUGHT
FOR PANAMA CANAL TRIP

When the battleship Oregon leads
the Atlantic fleet through the Pan
ANA Canal soon after the canal ded-
ication next year it will be manned
as fully as possible with the veterans
who were on it's crew when it made
its famous voyage around Cape Horn.
A special enlistment of three months
has been ordered to muster the old
men now in civil service life for the
crew. Lieutenant Smith, of the Uni
ted States Navy recruiting station
has charge of Oregon enlistments.
President Wilson is planning to be
on the Oregon at the time of the
procession through the canal.
The trip probably will be made in
June.

Lyceum Entertainment Successful.

A full house greeted Mrs. Eliza
beth de Barrie Gill upon her first ap-
pearance in this city at the High
School auditorium last night. Mrs.
Gill is a harpist of rare ability, and
that her work was appreciated, was
evidenced by the hearty applause af-
ter each selection. Her work in elo-
cution was of high order, and some
of the pieces were the best we ever
heard. Mrs. Gill has rich contralto
voice, which blended harmoniously
with the harp accompaniment.
The result of the first number of
the lyceum course indicated that the
entire course will be a big success
and profitable to the school, as well
as to all who will attend.

EFFECT OF GERMAN
H0W|TzERS TERRIFIC
French Artillery Paralyzed by Death
Dealing Guns of Teutons.

Berlin, Sept. 22.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press. What
The effect of the German field how
tiers fire can be when directed up
on troops in close formation, is de-
scribed in the letter of a German Of
ficer, which, published in the Col
ogne Gazette of September 20, reads
in part as follows:
"On August %, at o'clock in the
evening just as we were ab out to go
into quarters, fight developed sud
denly Before we knew what had
happened we were in the thick of it..
1t was quick victory. TIE French
were badly thrashed. That night we
slept in a ditch along the highway
with the starry sky for a blanket.
The cold was mean.
"On the following day matters pro-
ceded. The French were retiring on
the road to Sedan. Following them
We saw terrible scenes. This was

road running through a forest. Here
two French field artillery regiments
had been annihilated. The pieces
stood in the road in marching order;
the horses, six to each piece, lay dead
in the traces as If struck by light
ming. Near them were scattered the
dead officers and men.
There were 2S pieces Of artillery
and all their crews dead. The thing
happened in 10 minutes, and Cap
tain Wilhelmi is responsible for this
fine piece of work. He surprised the
French with his field howitzers at
range of 800 meters. The Captain
was shot in the chest, but could tell
us the story. One of the French Of
ficers, who happened to be a short
distance away from the artillery, and
who was wounded told us that the
experience was enough to rob anyone
Of his senses.
II will never forget the awful pic
ture. For two kilometers nothing
but pieces of artillery, corpses and
the cavaliers of horses"

The fall of Antwerp has demon

The fall Of Antwerp has demon
ssl ted that the "impregnable" city
is mot ret here. Antwerp, like Ma
muir and Liege, was thought to be
one of the most strongly fortified cit
les in the world, and probably at the
time the forts were designed, some
thirty years ago, by a General Brial-
amont, there were no guns that could
accomplish what the German Krupps
have done. The best this city could
do, after the Germans had settled
down to a systematic siege, was to
hold out ten days.
