FOR THIRTY YEARS A WATSON
MAN

Dear Sir: For thirty years or
more [ have been Watson man.
The reason / have never written
before is because I can't write my
self, so I've decided to have this
letter written to show my apprecia-
ton of your good works.
/ wish to thank you especially
for your articles on the Frank case
and on Romanism. At least two
thirds of the people of Ebert Coun-
ty are with you on that and all the
rest Of your writings. You are max
ing more friends and doing more
good than any man living today.
All of the Iaboring class and bust
ness men also are with you, | find
| have been a subscriber to The
Jeffersonian for two years or more,
and wouldn't be without it for any
thing. / wish every paper printed
had an editor with as much sense
as Tom Watson, and were not afraid
to publish the truth.
I have had your writings read to
me for years. They are an educa-
ton to anyone.
Please accept this as the thanks
of an old friend and admirer of your
public works.
Wishing you many years yet to
fight our battles, l am,
Yours very truly,
Ga. L. r. ROBINSON.

Burkitt was holding his position under the
Civil Service, and Kloepfer's intimaton Of
dement's for former conduct, as we'll as the
Third Assistant Postmaster Generals evasive
statement, look more like a myth to get rid Of
Burk1tt than statement Of truth concerning
the case.
But laying all of that aside when did this
country become a Monarchy wherein one citi-
zen may not criticize the act Of another when
the one criticized happens to hold high
office?
When did we adopt the slogan: "Tbs
King can do no wrong"
Woodrow Wilson is working. as President
OF the United States. for the people. at a
fixed salary, just as Burkitt was working for
the people, as assistant postmaster, at fixed
salary-they are both common ordinary
American citizens filing public offices at so
much per year, and if the time has come when
one may not criticize the other without losing
his job then it is time for us to do away with
our pretended Republic.
kfoepfer's name indicates that he should be
IN Europe, instead of holding office in the
United States he should be where the Me
and God" doctrine holds good.
W. are glad to state that as soon as the
hloepfer-BnrA;itt matter oros caUed to the at
tcntlon Of the President he actcd as a man
h0(ding such high office ecou2d be enpectcd to
do-he ordered Borhlt yeinstated.
The only mistake the President made and
perhaps he will remedy that later, was in not
summarily disimissing Kloepfer for his con-
duct.
AS the matter now stands. Burkitt has been
allowed to 60 back to work in the Winnetka
postoffice, but as a clerk, instead of his former
position Of assistant postmaster

Dear Sir: You are certainly MAX

OF Christianity, of freedom, Of civili-
zation-Romanism. Our country sorely
needs that our pulpits, our po1iti-
clans, our religious and secular
papers cry out against the JesuiticaI
popish efforts to crush out our
Christianity, our freedom both re-
ligious and political and all that
makes us better than the poor Mexi-
cans. The Romish effort in court to
hurt you and to crush your publiea-
lions is but what the Romish church
contemplates against every one
worth paying any attention to who
dareS to refuse to sneeZe every time
the pope and his servants take snuff.

! Mr.. Geo. Burkitt, Assistant Postmaster
This is to advise YOU that you are this
day removed from the service of the Gov
eminent and from your position as assist
ant postmaster of this office on account Of
your disloyalty to the President and the
very unsatisfactory service which YOU

A. NJ. KLOEPFER, Postmaster.
The most ridiculous, as we'll as disgusting
thing about the whole affair is Kloepfer's
charge of ''disloyalty to the President,' and
which indicated not only disloyalty to your
superior officers, but also the Administration
as well, thereby placing me in very en-
barrassing position"

dent, what if he was disloval to his superior

Japan uses an even lighter type or structure. The new Messna, rising slowly on its ruins, Is expected to be almost earthquake-proo with It's wide streets, low structures and generous use of steel in framing.
 The usual construction in Avezzano was like that in Messina. The worst canger was the narrow streets. where people got safely out of their homes were caught by falling walls. These heavy walls were filled in with rub ble. with the upper stories arched {; and the Spanish saying that an arch never sleeps is as true for Italy. Iron is lacking in buildings some of which reekoned centuries of use. There came time in medieval Rome itself when iron was so scarce that men rigged bosns' chairs and toiled with mallet and chisel to cut out of ancient build ings the iron that clamped them to- gether, giving the old walls their present postmarked appearance.
