THE JEFFERSoNIAN
NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP IN
IOUTSTANA

All lovers of individual liberty
should feel concerned when the
freedom esHthe press is ipterfered
with any 1fe in this county. Tne
New Orleans Dai1y1estates was sub
jected to humiliation Aast week
which is Surprising in a fand WYere
the federal constitution and the con-
stitution of all of the states guaran-
tee freedom of the press governor
l.. e. Hall, of Louisiana, has under
taken to suppress the circulation of
the Daily States in Jefferson parish,
where martial law has been declared
to check gambling. The report of
the action against the Daily States
in this parish is enough to cause one
to realize that this country may be
endangered by few of the auto
cratic practices in vogue in Europe
being echoed in acts of some Ameri-
can officials. The action of the gov
ernor of Louisiana is repugnant to
all newspapers as it is evidence OF
such a danger.
Censorship in peaceful America is
something new The Daily States
was not allowed to be distributed IN
Jefferson parish last Friday until it
was censored by the captain of the
military camp. If the governor OF
Louisiana establishes thrs precedent
no newspaper may be assured that
it will be at liberty to circulate
where it pleases if it happens to dis
please a politician clothed with brieI
authority. Whether or not the Daily
States happened to be the champion
Of rjObt WrOnU This TnCYapca
has nothing to do with the case
The law of libel is the only cheek on
the press in this country. In resort
ing to suppression and censorship the
governor of Louisiana exceeded his
authority that the courts in the IN
terest Of the public good should give
the Louisiana daily the redress it
seeks.-PensacOla News.

A WORD FROM KANSAS.

Dear Sir: L wish to congratulate
you on your success which has just
closed another chapter with the
Catholics, and l hope that the 1916
conventions will not be opened by
Jim" Gibbons or any other Catno-
lic
l am sending you another clipping
(editoriaD from The Topeka Capt.
tai. 1t also gave the repory or the
jury that was looking after your
case. This also from the Capital,
and the only paper as yet, that l have
seen any notice of their report not
ing their firm stand.
The object Of the clipping is to
show the change that Mrs. Leases
report of the Frank case has made.
Previous to her visit to Georgia the
tone Of this paper was Of the vim
dictive spirit, but Mrs. Lease seems
to have brought about a feeling tnay
capital can protect a criminal but
there is patriotism enough IN these
United States to resent such acts.
Success to The Jefferson1an. May
you live to see it's principles pre-
dominate in every state Of this
Union.
The Hodges administration places
nearly every institution in the hands
of the Catholics and Geo. Capper is
doing all he can possibly do to right
matters, but he has both hands and
feet tied and can only use mrs mouth,
and that is telling wonderfully.
Success to you and the prime 1ples
you advocate.
Yours truly,
l.. M. EMERSON.

"GRANDNGOTHER'S STORIES"
ENJOYED.

Dear Sir: Please accept our very
sincere @hthanks for the copy Of
''Grandmother's Stories" you so kind
by donated to our school library last
week. 1t is charming little book
and all of our pupils are simply
carried away with it.
The fifty copies you are giving to
the schools of Georgia will do great
deal to give our boys and girls clearer
ideas of the true part played in the
history of our country by the patri-
otto men and women Of the South.
You have given much of your time
and MEANS Mr.. Watson, for the up
lift of mankind in general and of
Georgia and the South in particular,
but doubt if you ever did anything
at so small cost (comp aratively) to
yourself, the results of which will be
SO potent factor in determining the
future Of the young people who read
the book.
If you ever have the time to make
any more public addresses, we hope
you will remember that you have
warm place in the hearts of the peo-
pie OF this community and that the
heartiest Of welcomes will await you
should you have an opportunity to
come among us again. Thanking
you once more, and wishing you ev-
cry success in your patriotic efforts
Co maintain the freedom of the press,
liberty of conscience and the separa-
ton of Church and State, I am,
Your friend.

THE TRIALS OF A FARMER WHO
MOVED TO TOWN.

80 N Farm and Firesfde is the
story of farmer VINO sold
his property to live in the
city, because his city friends
wore good clothes, had
money jingling in their pockets,
went to the movies, belonged. to
clubs, and enjoyed yearly vaca-
ton He found, however, that the
city man pays dearly for these lux
uries.
eve came to know, he said, chat
it was just as hard fer the city man
to get up at seven O'Clock in the
morning as it was Tor the country
man TO get up at five NYny SO! Be
cause he must not relax; re rs ever
on duty. He must smile at this per-
son and that person, He dares not
notice anyOne'S peculiarities, or odd
sSties, or unreaSonableneSs. The re-
suit is he must find his relaxation In
the evening; therefore the family
rarely gets to bed before ten Or
eleven clock, and seven in the
morning finds him just as sleepy and
him on the farm.

came to know that our friends

more, one couldn't exactly see now
they were extravagant. IN the city

The trial of Tom Watson, of Geor-
gia, for publishing obscene matter
fluctuations OF stuff in Latin from
Peter Dens, canonized Catholic
writer resulted in a mistrial, eleven
jurors standing for acquittal and one
for conviction. The pope had one
juror, and the Government attorney
now says that there is not enough
evidence on which to retry the case.
Thus ends the attempt of the Fedora
ton Of Catholic Societies to put a
man in the penitentiary for printing
in LATIN the stuff that Catholic
priests are presumed to talk to Cath
Ollie women In the confessional box.
What sort of an institution is it that
asks the Government to prosecute
men for printing as obscene matter

listers to talk TO Catholic wives, sis
tiers and acknowledgements Times.

LOEB TO DEFEND
SYRACUSE STORY
Will Take the Stand Again to
Reafrm Tale Told as
Witness.
ODDS ON DISAGREEMENT
Betting on Result of Great Roosevelt
Barnes Libel Trial Run
ming High.
ODDS ON DISAGREEMENT
BY JAMES }. MONTAGUE.

Syracuse. May 16.-To set himself right
with the jury. as well as to try to take
deep dent out of Col. RooseVelt's de-"
tense in William Barnes libel suit against
him. William Loeb will revisit the bat
tie ground this week and explain how his
story on the witness stand happened to
be disputed by three Barnes witnesses.
Loeb is expected here Tuesday. He will
not be needed before them. as Barnes
case will not be all in before tomorrow
night at the earliest.
The recalling of Loeb is very impor-
tant to the Colonel OF the two issues
left in the case by Justice Andrews. the
most important is that of the alleged
bipartisan Senatorship deals.
Eighteen Months on.
Loeb testified that Barnes told him of
this combination. naming the time as the
spring OF 1911 and the place as the office
of J. S. Bache & Co.
Three witnesses. Vice President Woll
man. of the BaChe Company. and two of
the FIRMS customers. insist that Loeb is
eighteen months off in the date. This
completely upsets his testimony unless
he can amend it. And with his testimony
unset there will be slim chance of
verdict in the Colonels favor.
Mr.. Roosevelt left here Saturday with
I,oeb in mind and II is believed that the
two conferred in New York. At all
events Loeb. according to present plans
will come back and adjust his version
of the story TO the satisfaction oil the
Roosevelt side of the case at least.
Barnes will resume the stand on cross
examination tomorrow morning. Bowers,
for Roosevelt. hopes to have done with
him by night.
Odds on DISAGREEMENT.
Then the Colonel. assisted by Loeb and
few more witnesses with whom he
has talked while in New York will seek
to sur-rehut the Barnes evidence. At
least a day will pc consumed in sum-
ming up and perhaps half day will
be needed by the justice to charge the
jury.
Then the twelve mep-mostly farmers
and business men-will go into room
and decide the most important libel case
that has ever been fought in this coun-
try.
Speculation as to the outcome Of such
matters Is not permitted. But it is a
matter of plain news that there is much
betting on the result and that the men
who are betting OH a disagreement are
Offering long odds and finding no takers. ,

ROCKEFELLER SECRETS
Barred BY LETTERS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Rockefellers memorandum, Mr.. Lee, In
a letter dated June II. says:
Il am inclined to think that at the
moment the best thing We can do would
be to give the letter from Gov. AM
mons to President Wilson our attention.
and l hope that We can accomplish SOME
thing very soon
On June - Mr.. Rockefeller wrote to
Lee:
Il shall be. interested to see the letter
from Gov Ammons to the governors.
and also the Tarrytown article which
you are PREPARING.
Mr. Lee writes to Mr.. Rockefeller again
on July ,:
With reference to the letter for Gov.
Ammons | am not entirely satisfied with
the draft l prepared and l am making
certain amendments to it. j sent out
a draft for discussion. but will not get
it into shape in a day or so and then
send YOU a copy. The idea Island it Is
a difficult one to eNecute-to prepare a
very brief statement of the case which
will command public attention rather
than to make any very comprehensive
statement of the situation"
Series Of Leaflets Planned.
Mr.. Lee explained to Mr.. Rockefeller
tne pans ioT Stllins ihS
facts of the Colorado situation before
the public. and thus influencing opinion.
One of his plans was to send out a
series of leaflets to be issued by the
operators at Denver and giving their
side of the controversy. He told Mr..
Rockefeller that this was the method
he had used for the Pennsylvania Rail
road in the fight for the per cent ad-
vance in freight rates He quoted from
La Follette's attack in the Senate, in
which he charged that the bulletins had
formed the basis of thousands of news
items, editorials and addresses.
1T is the thought wrote Mr.. Lee to
Mr. Rockefeller. that by sending these
leaflets to a large number of leaders of
public opinion you will be able to get
certain ideas before the makers of that
public opinion which will be of value

Rockefeller had plan of financing

Especial Correspondent of The Herald
New York. May 16.-Herewith is a cor
rect imitation of a New York subway
guard calling any station between Bowl
ing Green and the upper end of the
line. 1t goes like this:
Timex Bla Bla Bla.''
So 1t is no wonder that Joseph John
son, of the Public Service Transit Bu-
reau is urging a school to train the
tongues Of subway and elevated guards
and overcome the mixed vernaculars and
brogues which make It impossible for
passengers to recognize the names OF
their stations.
Highbrowish gentlemen who write to
newspapers on every subject declare 1t
will be impossible to shake of native
dialects. They point to Carlyle's marked
burr. Burke had brogue. Samuel John
son gave certain words q twist that
puzzled Boswell and the late King Ed
ward spoke English with a German ac-
cent. so why. IT Is argued. expect SO
much of a subway guard?
The ripper crimes in Third avenue
have transformed that congested. thriv-
ing thoroughfare into a dull silent
street. Hundreds Of children were con-
stantly at play in the neighborhood
where Leonore Cohn. aged 5. and Charles
Murray. aged 4. were slashed to death.
Mothers keep their children literally
at their apron strings and the street
merchants talk In whispers. They are
superstitious on Third avenue. Scientists
declare that the ripper is not insane.
but IL merely constitutionally inferior
and may be extremely intelligent
The crimes indicate degeneracy Of the
worst type. almost cannibalistic In ma
ture and the ripper Is believed to have
been q psychopath all his life. Incident
ally the police have learned that In the
crowded tenement districts there are
thousands Of persons with sex perver-
sions, and one crime arouses them and
inspires similar deeds.

Although the air compartments of the

The advantage of the submarine, both
economically and for effective warfare.
was clearly shown when the lieutenant
explained that a dozen submarines caS
be hfIilt for the price of one battleship-

of the National Chamber of Commerce
Mr.. Rockefeller acknowledged that the
president of the Chamber OF Com
merce had discussed with him the
question of charging the scope OF
the publication for the benefit OF the
business men of the country, but the
suggestion never had been acted on
favorably.
In one of Lees letters to Mr.. Rookie
Teller is the following:
You have doubtless seen Congress-
man Kinders speech. At the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Bowers we are going to
arrange to have Mr.. Kindel distribute
some 10000 or 10000 copies of his
speech to a mailing list which we
will supply"

In the same letter Mr.. Lee says of
his publicity campaign:
Though we did not ask or expect
that our bulletins be reprinted. you
will observe from the enclosed clip

little later he writes:
II enclose an article from the Northmp-
ton Mass Herald. which you will see
uses as an editorial the first page OF
our bulletin"
On July 6. 1914. Mr.. Rockefeller wrote
that he had read in the papers an ar
ticle about the s., sol. 900 gift to the Rookie
Teller Institute. He added:
Thank you for sending me the COM
ments which it elected. They are gen.
orally excellent, particularly MIR. Bris-
