Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness.

DeaIness is caused by an infiamed condi-

you have rumbling sound or imperfect

Deafness is the result and unless the in

hearing will be destroyed forever: nine

There is no middle ground you must either
surrender to Bone, or fight.
[ thank "a Catholic Layman" for hav-
ing made this truth SO manifest
Let me extract morsel from his card:
Mr.. Watson must have notoriety at any cost,
and he is more than happy to draw some good
paper into controversy, that he may have
the opportunity of pleading excuse for his raw
ings against Rome in his periodical thus
boosting its waning patronage. Mr.. Watson may
be sane on other subjects but on the Catholic
Church he is wholly irresponsible. 1t only takes
the mention Of Romanism to drive him into
extremity of rage that is ptiabe. More people
are learning to place Mr.. Watson where he
belongs-in the realm of intolerant fanatics
and they pass his many eruptions of spleen,
prejudice and hatred as simply the exponents of
an cratic mind that is given to seeing things
that do not exist

eousness of his cause, can afford to quote his
adversary

The unfair fighter, who skulks in the
bushes, knowing that his position is indefensi-
bic, fears to quote his opponent and misrep-
resents him, in the hope of diverting atten-
ton from his own weakness.
With what justice can any Catholic who
knows me bring to my door the charge Of
being an ''intolerant fanatic?"
None can do it: none will attempt it: none
will say that | ever uttered word, Or did an
act to lend color to such an accusation

to provoke me into saying word against the

The Italian Pope's Law which AnnuIs American Law

on April 28th, Romanist signing him
self as above, published a card in The
Telegraph, which he was either ashamed or
afraid to decorate with his name.
Which was it, "Layman?"
You make quite free with my name and
you misrepresent the issue as thoroughly as
you misrepresent the citizen who raised it.
The controversy was being conducted
decorously between the two papers whose edi-
tors are we'll known, The Telegraph and The
.Jefersonian.
Why did you put your oar in? Who was
bothering you? Who are you anyway?
Were you dissatisfied because the editor of
The Telegraph was using the tone and the
language of gentleman?
Were you enraged because The Jeffersonian
so plainly and unanswerab1y stated the ina-
moral and criminal consequences of your
Papas Ne tenaere law?
This Layman who shoots from the bushes
In which he skulks, was evidently offended
because The Telegraph said that it did not
like the Ne tenoere law.

a useful lesson, to-wit: Nobody phases q

He says, in part:


Recently, at the request of The National Field,
[ sought an interview with the Hon. Andrew j.
Peters, Acting Secretary OF the United States
Treasury, regarding the published statement in
The National Field and Watson's Jefersonian,
that the Government had been insuring cotton for
the speculator at $1,000 a bale.
Mr.. Peters seemed to be worried a bit when I
told him that | represented The National Field,
the official organ Of the National Farmers Union,
and that ! sought On explanation Of the published
statement that the Government had been insurng,
for $1,000 a bale, the same cotton which had been
forced out of the farmers hands at $50 90 a bale.
Eyes" said Mr.. Peters, eve have insured cot
ton at $1,000 bale, but that. was necessary as
the shipper getting that for it in foreign coun-
tries"
then asked the Acting Secretary if he would
give statement, covering the operations Of
the Government through it's War Risk Bureau
since it began business and he readily consented,
and that statement in the form Of personal let
ter, is given herewith.
Mr.. Peters makes a creditable showing from his
viewpoint, for the War Risk Bureau but the fact
remains-the oyershadowing fact-that the Gov
eminent is intensely interested in the welfare
and prosperity Of the cotton speculator, and
scarcely casually interested in the welfare and
prosperity Of the cotton producer.
The Government positively abruptly, re-
fused to advance so per cent. OF the value Of
the cotton that the producer might be able to
hold it until the markets were normal again. but
it could afford to guarantee 70 the cotton sTec-
ulator the full value of the bale-$70 .00-the
price it was bringing in foreign countries.
In Woodrow Wilson'S new book, the New
Freedom" you will find these words: THE singu-
lar thing about the people Of the United States is
their almost infinite patience; their willingness to
stand quietly by and see things done which they
do not want DONE and still never lay the hand of
disorder upon any arrangement of government
If there ever has been a time when American
farmers-especially the Southern cotton farmers
were justified in "laying the hand of disorder
upon the present arrangement of government,
that time is Now"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-05-13
The Farmer Got $4,000 government Paid The Gambler $1,000

WILL the Southern farmer ever forget or
forgive the colossal crime perpetrated
upon him by this pledge breaking administra-
ton of Woodpile Wilson-the Penmsyzvanian,
who was put off on us as Virginian?
Blood being thicker than water, the Penn
sylvania ancestry of Wilson makes itself evil
dent, when he sides with the Northern Trusts,
banks, railroads, and cotton gamblers, whose
system of laws have reduced the South to the
position of an exploited province of the en-
plre of Glass Legislation.
Isn't it cheeky thing for Democratic
congressman to be going around among the
farmers merchants, and laboring men of the
South Dragging on this President who paid
the Northern gamblers $40 bale for the
same cotton which the gambler had just
bought from the grower at $50, dpd had paid
for acitb mea0 money loaned him at per cent
6Y the Government?
In all the history Of this class ruled coun-
try, there is no blacIer page than that
The Northern capitalists who owed Eng
land two hundred million dollars have
already more than paid it off, with the net
profits on last years cotton.
So enormous have been the gains made by
the Northern Trusts and spectators IN the
ships insured By the Government, that Europe
now owes them trade balance of one billion
dollars!

Promised a system of Rural Credits, the
farmers of the South gave to Wilson the
votes which were necessary to elect him.
Having got the votes and the office, this
cold-hearted Pennsylvania set his face like
flint against the distressed section acAosc SOL
5dity has been the one faithful prop Of De-

Hypocritically pretending that it would be
tend aid to the South, this Jesuitized Penn
sylvanlan gave the Silver Kings the aid they
demanded, gave the Alaskan marauders the
railroad they wanted. insured the ships of the
Republican Mercantile Association, created
hundreds of millions of new money for the
use of the Wall Street cotton gamblers, and
clapped an insurance policy Of seventy dol
lars a bale on the cotton which the refusal
Of Government help forced the wretched
farmer to sell.
And when the gambler lost the cotton at

CIeverness Of Beavers.

Some beaver dams, If built by human
beings, would be styled feats Of engf
neering. They are by no means locat.
ed haphazurd. Each site Is carefully
selected and each dam accomplishes II
purpose that seems as II reasoned out
In advance. Trees are felled with u
nicely that can be duplicated only by
skilled woodsmen. And the beaver
does not limit his tree cutting to sap
lings. In the Adirondacks the animals
have been known to cut down trees
twenty inches and more In diameter.
They prefer yellow birch and poplar,
though they will cat any tree that
seems necessary to their purpose. The
dams are built Of alder sticks, mud
and grass and are finally chinked with
moss, making solid wall that often
must be dynamited to be effectually de-
stroyed. The cutting teeth Of the beav-
er are very sharp, and there is great
power behind the little Jaws. Ordina-
ry beaver chips are about half the size
of the chips made by the average
woodchopper, and they much resemble
chips made with an ak, so smoothly are
they cut.
