AN IOWA READER WRITES TO
us.

Dear Sir: I have not been a
reader of the Jeffersonian but about
one year, but [ like the bold way
you have in exposing graft and wrong
doing. l have spent ten years in
Georgia and l like the people and
I am sure there is no State where one
gets better treatment. l have been
reading the Leo Frank case in most
of the Western papers, and I can
see the Jews and their friends are
going to use it in politics if Wilson
will do to please the Jews and Cath
olics he will have no trouble of cleo
ton, and from what I have seen and
read Of the Frank case, will be set
tied about next Presidential election.
If I were tried for murder and was
innocent l would rather be tried in
Georgia by those people than be tried
here by foreign jury, mostly Cath
olics. Yours for right,
Iowa. J. r. McGREW.

THIS MAN GOT A NEW ANGLE
ON THE FRANK CASE.

Dear Sir: I want to thank you
for your review of the Frank case, in
your last magazine.
One of our pastors here came
round and brought me Golfers, and
said: II once thought Frank was
guilty, but I can't meet Golfers. .
Two of my married daughters, on a
visit to US, and wife were sitting
with me- I said, "Well l have just
received the Watson Magazine, and
it contains mile posts, mill posts,
mail posts" These stand out in an
old field, where much straw grows
and serves to show the direction of
the winds. AS began to read, I
asked them to let me, by wave Of
the hand, without disturbing the
reading, indicate, when I thought
the point strikingly strong, because
it had the surface appearance of an
incident, or coincidence. The arti-
Gle swept my wife into a woman's

gretfully we know that it is much
less than this upon the average for
the country child. The figures show
that the pupils of the elementary
State schools at least could be fur
nished with basal books for the pri-
mary grades for approximately $780,
900 annually, and negroes, as we'll
as whites, could pay the bill with
out any trouble with simple dog
tax But for our financial condition
and the long delay now with school
funds, it would be difficult to escape
the inevitable logic of this matter
now
The writer expresses the hope that
the Editor of The Jeffersonian will
accept no compromise in this matter
of free textbooks, but will stand
straight up and straight out for free
textbooks of the highest character
purchased anywhere in the open
market at the lowest prices COM
mensurate with the best kind of
books-and only the best should be
put into the hands of our children.
Very respectfully,
ED. F. GRACE.

THIS FRIEND HAS LEARNED LOTS
FROM THE JEFF.

Dear Sir: I have been reading
your paper and magazine for a num-
Der of years, and have learned more
from The Jeffersonian than any other
paper that has ever come to my
home. You have been trying for
many years to warn the people of
the danger that we have plunged
into, but they would not heed. But
don't believe yet that your labor
has been in vain, believe you will
gain the victory. I believe the hand
that led Moses is leading you today.
I hope that all the Christian people
all over the laud will wake up to a
sense of duty and join you hand in
hand, for in unity there is strength
bid you God speed to press forward
to the mark of the high calling.
Your friend,
Ga. G. G. LUNSFORD.

ANOTHER GEORGIA PREACHERS
ENCOURAGEMENT.

Dear Sir: | have read your jeff,
as I could get it, but through the
kindness of some good friend, | am
getting it regularly now.
I am indeed very proud Of the
Jeff, and can hardly wait for the
next issue. I think II is one Of the
greatest papers Of this time, for you
do not fear to speak the truth, let
the chips fall where they may, and |
like this much. Mr.. Watson, I do
not agree with you in some instances,
but I can look beyond those dislkes,
and see the real value of Tom Wat
son, to our great Church, and to our
great Nation.
May God Almighty in His Omnipo-
tent Power, enable you to ever fight
the great fight you have undertaken
against that rotten, and abominable,
Romanism, which is doing all in it's
power to creep into these U, S.
If American people would stop and
think for one moment what Cath oil
cism has done in every place where
it has ever been in power, am sure
that every pen and press in the Uni
ted States of America would join
you in this fight to rid this treacher-
Gus demon from among our midst.
We are facing not only hard times
now, but let this sinking stuff get
in power, and you and / will be
trodden out of existence.
I want to say this I will fight it
if they put my head on Nero's block,
for | am sure | had rather die in
this fight, than otherwise
There is another admirable fea-
ture in The Jeffersonian, and that is
the stand it has and is taking in the
Leo Frank case.
Frank knows himself, that beyond
a shadow of doubt he has had every
advantage in his fight 1t is "a sad
affair, but if he killed Mary Phagan,
and the Court says so, then he is no
better to pay the just penalty than I
am. If this had been me, or some
other poor man, we would long ago
have been forgotten, but so long as
Frank is able, by numerous contri-
buttons, to make a fight, he has done
so.
There has not been a single thing,
as I see it, that could have been done,
that has not been attempted, and
with strenuous efforts.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
said the verdict was O. k, and the
y. S. Supreme Bench has also said it,
and yet he still continues.
[ do not blamo Frank for this, for
you or I would do the same, under
the same circumstances.
/ wish again before closing to
say Mr.. Watson, fight on; these U,

through the columns of your paper,
if there is law in Georgia, forcing

IL unions, desire free textbooks
in the free elementary public
schools. The formal action of yari-
Gus unions throughout the State is
evidence Of this fact and is also evil
dence of the fact that they want free
textbooks and no subterfuge.
The labOring people represented
by the unions are opposed to any
measure that will continue in any
form the plan of providing textbooks
to be bought by patrons Of the
schools. No measure short of abso-
ltely free textbooks that may be pre-
scented to the Legislature will re-
ceive the support of the labor unions.
If even so much as cent must be
paid for a textbook by a patron Of
the schools, it cannot be said that
the books are free. It is earnestly
to be hoped that the friends of free
textbooks, in and out of the Legisla-
ture, will not give their support to
any measure that in any degree
falls short Of absolutely free text
books.
For a long time the people of this
State that want free textbooks in the
free elementary public schools have
regarded the Editor of The Jefferso-
nian as their chief champion. The
writer knows it to be a fact that
these people are hoping and conf
IDENTIFY expecting that the Editor of
The Jeffersonian will reject all text
book measures that do not include
absolutely free books.
1t will be an easy matter for the
Legislature to pass a law providing
for free textbooks upon some
gradual plan. For instance, there is
no good reason why the books now
in use should be displaced until the
end of the period for which they
were admitted. But the Legislature
should pass a law at the next session
providing that as new books are
needed, beginning, say, with the
opening of the schools in the fall of
this year, they shall be paid for by
the State These books ought to be
the property of the State, or of the
counties, or towns, or cities, and
boards Of education shoufd be re-
quired to handle them and take
proper care of them. Surely there
is some member of the Legislature
who will be able to work out the de-
tails Of a plan for free textbooks that
will be acceptable and that will re-
duce the final cost to a comparatively
small sum.
In this connection, the following
from State superintendent M. l..
Brittain's fOrty-secOnd annual re-
port of the Department of Education,
pages IA and Is, is Of interest:
There is much more sense and
reason in furnishing free textbooks
to our children than in forcing them
to use those only of Georgia manu-
facture. The argument is more
logical. Certainly this is true where
there is compulsory education, and
almost as certainly in the case Of
compulsory taxation for this pur-
pose. Several of our local systems
have been furnishing free textbooks
for their pupils for years, and some
Of the States likewise that would not
dream Of home manufacture. Nor
would the expense be excessive.
Supt. Richie writes me that the cost
Of furnishing free textbooks in the
City of Fitzgerald last year was less
than IA rents Dpr C3Dita And re-

John VI. Zane, counsel for the Kan
sas City club, argued that in distian-
Chising the Kansas City club the rules
Of the league were not complied with.
"The action which put out the Kan
sas Citv club" said Mr.. Zane, "was
the action of an executive committee
and not tho action of the league itself.
"The evidence will show that Mr..
Madison. pres dent Of the Kansas City
club. had a talk with Mr.. Gilmore prior
to the opening Of the 1914 season, i'm
which Mr.. Madison expressed doubt
about having sufficient funds for the
season and was assured by Mr.. Gil
more that the league had several big
moneyed men who would aid in tidIng
over the Kansas City club.
AT the beginning of the 1914 season
the Kansas City club paid a large sum
Of money to the league. The money
was never returned, nor was an ac-
counting made.

Bali from Aer0plane to
Open NeW Ebbets Field

Brooklyn team might shift its quarters
TO Columbus. Ga. as the playing grounds
are not yet fit for fast work, nor
is there a great probability that they
will be for two weeks. Wilbert Robin
son vcntured the opinion that perhaps
the major league clubs that arc on the
schedule might object 10 playing on a
field in so crude condition. Mr.. kbbets,
however. declared with emphasis that
there would be no change whatever
lie expressed his regret that inclement
weather conditions prevented rushing
the work along, jut said that next year
with the field in perfect condition, Eb-
bets Field, in Daytona. would be the
most ideal and modern training camp
as Ebbets Field in Brooklyn Is the mos,
ideal of major league parks.
II may be said that the contractors
are rushing the work on the park with
all speed, and nothing is being left un-
done. The p ayers complai ed that the
.nfeld was hard as stone. and that 20
slide was to invite accident. Ebbets
at once ordered tons and tons Of mari

sand nicely and affords pringy, but

field will be ready in another week.

Daytona. Fla. March 3 A hush Of
expectancy has fallen over the city OF
Daytona. No one knows just what TO
expect. but all hope for the best. Next
Thursday afternoon Ebbets Field, on
the Peninsula. will be dedicated. IL
will be Charles II. Ebbets Day and
every last detail of pomp and ceremony
will be observed. There Will be the
customary flag-raiSing, IN which the
players Will march TO the centre held

the "Star-S Spangled Banner Oid Glory
will be flung TO the breeze. There may
even be a few speeches. StetsOn Onl-
versity will furnish opposition Tor the
Superbas on this occasion.
Chas. II. Ebbetts contends that things
done by halves are never done right,
and intends that this dedication shall
be long remembered. Weather condi-
tions permitting, he will make a flight
in Miss Ruth Laws aeroplane, and
while soaring over the ground , some
thousand or more feet in the air, will
drop the ball into the diamond.
Never before in the history of base
ball has the first ball been dropped out
of an aeroplane, and il remained for

tinct ovations at the start OF the sea-
son.
Mr.. Ebbets announced that George
Cutshaw had signed contract TO play
with the Superbas during the seasons
of 1916 and 1917 this afternoon. No
trouble was experienced In lining the
