THIS SMART LITTLE GIRL EN-
JOYED READING ABOUT MY
SOLDIER UNCLE WHO DIED
IN THE CIVIL WAR.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have just
finished reading one of your books,
(name Bethany and | liked it so
we'll until | just couldn't help writ
ing you about it. I think it one of
the grandest books published. l am
a girl fourteen years old, live about
mile and one-half from little
town called Jesup, located in Wayne
County, Ga. My father is foreman
Of a Southern Railroad coal chute.
We are little packed up here for we
only have four rooms in our house.
Although it seems as of old when
your Uncle Ralph was a young man
everything is happy as little humble
bees. | don't mean when Uncle
Ralph was in war, but when he was
going to see Miss Nellie Roberts.
Isn't it a pity they neyr lived to be
married? [ can just almost picture
them out just how they looked sit

know that flower garden was a love
ly scene too, for l dearly love flow
erS Mr.. Watson your good works
have been going on so nice until it
seems like you are still young, I had
most forgotten that you were get
ting old and gray. l just wish you
would put your picture in the Jeffer
sonian for all the people that try to
help you, to see.
My papa is a dear old Watson man
and I think all his children take af-
ter him in that line too. I know I
do. I dearly love to read your good
books and papers, especially about
those sorry old Roman Catholics. l
have read two of your books, the one
I have praised SO, and another named
Maria Monk. [ think they are real
fine, but to think how that poor nun
was treated. It almost makes me
cry, and l did let tears roll down my
cheeks while [ was reading it. I
have read several pitiful books, but
none got next to my heart as that
ono did

VICE-pRESIDENT MARSHALL NOT
GUILTY. INTERESTING LET
TER FROM WASHING
TON CITY

Dear Sir: On page four of the is
sue Of The Jefersonian of Jan. 8,
there appears a letter from GA Read
err in which he asks: 'How is it
that Mr. Bryan, Mr.. Burles0n and
Vice-President Marshall, all Masons,
are allowed to attend the Pan-Ameri-
can Mass?"
For the purpose of correcting
what seems to be q widespread err
ror, l wish to say to Mr.. "a Reader"
and everybody else, that the Honora-
BILE Thomas Riley Marshall, Vice
President Of the United States, did
not attend said Pan-American Mass,
statements in the newspapers to the
contrary otwithstanding The Vice
President, be it said to his eyerlast-
ing honor, has so far proven himself
to be courageous man and an hon
est official, with strong convictions
and high ideals and the moral sta
nina to stand up for those ideals.
On last Sunday, Jan. II, Mr.. Mar
shall delivered an address in one Of
the leading churches of this city, in
the course of which he said:
What this nation needs is more
men with backbone enough to stand
up for their ideals
81 wish men would read the Cos
pels. Don't bother about Jonah and
his first submarine experiment. Read
the Bible, and make no answer to
any man but yourself
Thomas Jefferson did a great
thing when be brought about the
separation of the Church and State,
and please God, they will remain
separate.
While Mr.. Marshall was giving ut
terance to these patriotic sentiments,
several Cabinet officers and other
high officials of the government and
members of the House and Senate
of the United States Congress, in
Guiding our beloved Oscar Under
wood, ex-candidate for President
and now candidate for the United
States Senate, were down at st. Pat
rick's Roman Catholic church, listen
ing to Speaker Champ Clark slop
over old Jim Gibbons in a speech in
which he felicitously referred to Glib
bons as "Our Cardinal" the occasion
being the Annual Cardinals Day
Reception and Mass" held in honor
of Cardinal Gibbons, a dignitary of
resentative of foreign potentate in
democratic America. (See Washing
ton Herald, Jan. -, 1914.)
AS to Rome "allowing' members
of fraternal orders, upon all of which
not within the Roman church she
has placed her ban, to attend her So
called religious functions, she not
only allows" but invites the weak
kneed and spineless of all secret So
cities and political parties to pros
trate themselves before her, and
points to every instance of the kind
as evidence of her fast rising ascen-
dancy over, or the rapid disintegra-
ton of, all such organizations.
In conclusion | would like to ask
Mr.. "A Reader" what evidence he
has that the two Cabinet officials he
mentions have any Masonic afIilia-
tons?

Republicans are playing the same
old game Of deception. Charging up
present business depression to the new
tariff law.
Can they ram this sort Of nonsense

There is no tariff. Practically moth

country, the revenue from tariff has
fallen away to almost nothing. Thai
leaves our government with that much
les, revenue, and It's effect is felt.
The government must have money
with which TO pay expenses, The tar
III, under ordinary conditions, supple,
a great deal Of 1t. But the loss Of rev
epue from tariff due to the ioreigt
war and due 70 nothing o.oe, made il
necessary for our government to levy
special taxes to make good the loss ano
this is what is called the war tax.
Republicans poiat out to the farmers
that the price Of eggs and potatoes is
low. Very true. But what has tbs
tariff got 70 DO with that?
We always shipped out more eggs
and more potatoes than We imported,
but the war has cut OIL the foreign de
mand, and when the demand slackens
the price alackens with it.
Demand makes the price.
But the targers Of Wisconsin cannot
be fooled by these G,h stories. They
base learned the failaey Of Republican
pretenSes.
The farmers are certain Of one thing
Ihelr taxes are outraReOusly nigh anC
growing higher. Their tax receipts
tell them that story And the Repub
lean state administration is responsl
BILE for these high taxes.
The federal government has nothing
10 do with state taxes and the Repub
licans have hard time trying to OK

Voters Of Wisconsin shodld under
stand that the long argument in behalf

being put into the hands of every cleo

socialistic sources. II might be as
sumeG on the part Of some citizens, be
cause the commonwealth fathers the
pamphlet, that this pro-socialistic stuff
has the sanction of the state Distinct
y it has not. The argument is in the
pamphlet simply because it is endorsed
by the socialist party.
The law under which the pamphlet
is issued limps sorely for the reason
that it contains no requirement that
discussion of constitutional amend.
ments must be made, if at all by agen-
encies whose identity accompanies it.
Here are four pages in this official doc.
umcnt of reckless socialistic assertion,
much of it fallacy Of the worst sort,
which goes cut to the people with no
Indication Of its authorship or its orr.
gin. This is wrong. The law should
he specific as TO authority, and the
pamphlet too.
OF course the socialists all are for
| the fads represented in the ten amend
ments proposed, They care nothing
for the constitution. They are notori.
Gus iconoclasts. They would wipe it
out entirely if they could They want
no restriction upon personal liberty.
Nothing is sacred to them.
Vote no on all the amendments.

On the election ballot in November
will be observed a long string of
amendments. Not one voter out OF a
thousand is familiar with the PROPOSE

an intelligent expression of the people.
The safe way is to vote no on every
one uf these. If changes are made in
