THINKS JTFFERSONIAN DEMOC-
RACY IN EXILE.

Dear Sir: AS a reader of The
JeffersOnian, l feel constrained to ex-
press my deep and sincere apprecia-
ton for the principle for which it
stands, and for the manner in which
it deals with all important questions.
There is not another paper in the
United States that is more instruc-
tive and beneficial to the American
people, than The Jeffersonian.
1t advocates a principle our fore
fathers fought for and cherished
One that our great Republic is built
upon and from this principle she has
grown into mighty nation. Then
1t is therefore a matter of vital i'm
portance as American citizens to sus-
tain this principle that has placed us
hrst among all nations. But in the
past lew years, ring politicians and
corrupt politics have almost put the
old Jetfersonlan democracy in exile.
Moses, we are told, was a born
leader, and his success in leading his
people out Of bondage will substan-
t1ate this fact. While though he was
reared and educated in King Phara-
oh's own court and given the same
advantages that the king gave his
son, yet his heart beat for his own
people who were at that time in
bondage under the king, and being a
man OF human sympathy and realiz-
ing the condition his people were in
he rebelled against the king and led
his people to liberty.
Today we people of the South have
Moses in Watson, who has fought
our battles for a quarter of a CEN
fury, endeavoring to bring about a
reformation that will deal Justice to
all alike, spread sunshine and hap
plness where suffering and disap-
polntment once prevailed He has
fully realized our need that was
brought about by deceptive measures
practlced by our high officials. Then
let us as patriotic Americans be ad-
vocates Of the same doctrine that he
represents.
Let us all look upon the undisputed
spectacle of human suffering. and
having dared to look upon it, let US
clear our spirits of bitterness and
envy and continue to work for the
good cause that the Jeffersonian rep
resents. Equal justice to all and
special privileges to none.
Yours respectfully

ENORMOUS COST OF PUBLIC
i SCHOOLS UNDER M. T..
BRITAIN

Dear Sir: According to the Census
Report, just published, we find that
Georgia has made no advancement
at all in the last five years in re-
ducing illiteracy. We are still at the
foot of the ladder, compared with thu
other States of the Union.
In 1910 the illiteracy of white
children was rs, and in 1915 it is
exactly the same. In 1910 the total
amount spent on the common schools
according to the report of M. L. Brit
tain, State Superintendent, was $4,-
sos, 410.88. In the year 1913 the
amount expended was $4,584,333.76.
The total amount expended for edu-
cational work, including colleges, in
1910, was $5,418,2O1.13. In 1913
there was expended the total sum Of
$6, 7O9 ,618.52. The illiteracy of the
negroes remain the same, towit,
36.5, or an average for Georgia of
over 20 per cent of illiterates. This
is appalling. There must be some
cause for it. Is it because we have
too much System" and too little
practical sense in the matter of
tea ching?
If anyone will read Hon. Jere M.
Pounds message to the Legislature
in 1909, you will find in every line
and word a love for the children in
Georgia. Through the workings of
manipulated politics he was dis
placed, and another put in his place.
Did you know that of the six presnet
members of the State Board of Edu-
cation that two of them voted against
the uniform school-book bill, towit,
Hon. J. M. Slaton and Hon. w. c..
Steed? Did you know that the most
ardent enemies of the bill, when it
was on it's passage, even lobbyists
against it, were the first to apply for
a position on the Board of Eduoa-
ton? 1t is a fact easily provevn
The Book Trust is always on the job
Can any sane man explain why our
children are compelled by law to
buy an entirely new set of Readers?
We had the Charles E. Merrill's
first three, and they were taken off
the list by the State Board of Educa-
ton and others put on the list, and
the Lee readers, from the third up,
were taken off and the Charles E.
Merrills put on, thus compelling our
children to buy a new set.
Did you know that it was proven
a suitable Civil Government could be
produced for "a cents to take the
place of Petermans, which had been
condemned by the State Board of Ed
ucation, and that it would not have
cost the State one penny, but the
Senate refused to allow our children
to obtain a suitable Civil Govern
ment at "a cents, but voted to compel
them to pay "a cents for one not suit
able? This is a fact easily proven.
Did you know that Georgia is COM
p1etely in the hands of the School
Book Trust? If you don't know it,
come up to the next session of the
Legislature. c.. r. McCRORY.

A LETTER TO "COLLIER's."

Dear Sir: have read your article
on the Frank case, which appeared
in Golfers of December 18th and
26th, and have thought for some
time that I would write you in re-
gard to same.
In the beginning I want to say
that it is the general opinion in this
section that your publication secured
in Mr.. c.. P. Connolly a very biased
and one sided man to write this arti-
Gle. He has taken only one side and
has failed to go into the evidence as
an impartial writer should and would
have done who endeavored to give
the public a true conception of the
facts.
I am enclosing several editorials,
which have appeared in some of our
local papers, and l will ask that you
spend a few moments of your time in
reading these over, as they. express
our sentim ents in this matter. We
feel that Frank has had fair trial,
although he was partly convicted by
the evidence of negro, whom some
of your Northern people claim is
your equal and should have equal
rights. We grant you this and you
have our permission to live with

porters. 1t is J. J. McMichen, who

tell you he has enjoyed your writings
more and more-every year from the
beginning, and asks that God may
help you to continue in the most
wonderful work you are doing.
Glad to say that our people are
opening their eyes after so long.
Wishing that you may live to see
your victory won. 1 am,
Yours very truly,

them, marry them, and have children
by them; however, we trust that you
will keep this class of american
Citizen" as you call them, on your
side of the Mason and Dixon Line
We Southern people have noticed
with great interest what you have to
say in regard to this negro, and we
are surprised indeed to see you going
back on your cOlored brother
Now, it seems to me If your
National Weekly wants to give Geor-
gia and her people a square deal
before the country at large that you
would publish Mr.. Watson's article
and let the people be the judges. l
am afraid you would not consent to
this, as no doubt your paper is con-
trolled by Jewish money and this
article would be antagonistic to that
faction who are endeavoring to free
a criminal who has had a fair and
just trial.
In this connection, I wish to say
that the statement, that has been
circulated, in regard to Frank being
prosecuted (because he is a jew is
false, and is a disgrace on the fair
name Of Georgia. We have Jews in
our State that we think as much of
as we do our own people, and We
would demand the life of a Southern
Gentle just as quick if he had COM
mitted the crime that Leo Frank is
guilty of. This cry is for no other
purpose than to work on the sympa-
thies of the public and to draw the
rich Jews into the fight with their
money.
I wish to say in conclusion, that
have had the pleasure of breaking up
several of your little book deals
(Collier's included) And you may
rest assured as long as your dirty
paper continues to reflect upon the
fair name of our Southern woman
hood and continues to tell the world
how we mistreat and persecute a
Northern Jew, whom we all know is
guilty, I will use my influence against
you in the twenty Georgia towns
go into every month.
[ realize no doubt you are laugh
ing at this statement and / am aware
that [ cannot do your weekly as
much harm as | would like to do in
regard to circulation; however, re-
member I never miss an opportunity
to give Golfers a black eye on ac-
count of the editorial which appeared
5 or years ago, and which our peo-
pie in this section have never forgot
ten; many of them refuse to allow
your Representatives to enter their
homes. Nothing will touch a South
ern mans heart quicker than a re-
Election on the womanhood of our fair
Southland.
Trusting that you and your Weekly
will realize that we people of Geor-
gia are capable of running our own
affairs, governing our own people
and hanging our own criminals, and
that in future you will let our bust
ness alone, I am,
Yours very truly,
