TO VETERANS AND WIDOWS OF
EEWEEEP PANS

Dear Sir: A movement is on foot
to hold convention at Macon before
the Legislature meets and frame a
bill and ask that new pension law
be enacted, as the present law is
very unjust, especially to widows.
As the law now stands a soldier
who married prior to Jan. LIST, 1870,
his widow can get pension, while
one who married Jan. End, 1870, is
debarred. Florida pays her Veteran
pensioners $500 per month and
Georgia pays or promises to pay
$500 per month. This year three
payments were made.

What the POpe's Papers Say
About the Watson Case.

7 HE Michigan Catholic, published in De
troit, tells its helpless readers the follow
ing whopper:
AS to be expected the author of obscenitv
Tom Watson, wheedled out of court. He found
jury who found him not guilty of attacking the
Catholic church
There are only two lines in this Editorial
note and it contains two lies to each line,
which is not much more than the average
Of the average Catholic editor.
LAS was to be expected" is falsehood, else
the Romanist Secret Societies would not have
pressed the prosecution for five years.
1.-The author Of obscenity" is another false
hood, because the only serious element in the
case was the obscenity of st. Alfonsus Liguori,
the Roman Catholic degenerate whose de-
PRAYED ''Moral Theology" is a standard work
of the most immoral INSTRUMENTATION that
ever blighted nations.
tom Watson whecdled out of Court" is a
third falsehood because the official record
shows consistently stalwart fighting, and
not trace of "wheedling."
Not guilty of attacking the Catholic
church," is the fourth falsehood, because it
libels the jury which found the defendant not
guilty of any violation of law in publishing
Latin extracts from Catholic books.
The truthful 'Mchigan Catholic' also

Autos This Year

A little less than a month ago the w.
L. Huffman Automobile company secured
the agency for the Chalmers line of cars
and contracted for 1850 cars for the 1916
season.
When he left Omaha for the New York
show last week W. L. Huffman took with
him sub-agency contracts covering prac--
tically one-fourth of this allotment and
on the strength of this remarkable show
ing he was able to secure considerable
additional territory, taking in a portion
of northeastern Kansas.
Mr.. Huffman states that he Is abso-
lutely sure that he will sell 1000 cars
this season. or more If it were possible
for the factory to ship him any more than
that number of cars,
The Huffman organization has enough
cars on hand and in transit and billed for
shipment to guarantee delivery up to
March 10. but after that time deliveries
will be made in accordance with the date
that the order was taken.

Old Catchers No

is by doing away with the veteran
catcher employed to coach young pitch
crs
Mike. who now manages a team i'm the
New York state league. is a catcher who
won fame a decade ago, but he doesn't
fall for the popular gag that a capable
receiver can teach n pitcher anything.
"Tho best catcher In the world can't
show the worst pitcher in the business
anything at ALL" opined Mike recently
'HIe can point out mistakes, but so can
wise manager. No matter how expert
encod catcher he can't go out there on
the mound and show the pitcher how to
correct these mistakes.
IF YOU were running a street railway
you wouldn't employ an old conduc-
tor to teach a young fellow how to act
as motorman. You'd go and get an old
motorman for that job. 1t takes pitcher
to show a pitcher anything, and that's
why Clark Griffith has had such success
with young hurlers on his Washington
club
II believe the time has come when
magnates are awaking and when they do
they'll cut away from these old catchers
who are carried solely to coach young
