act OF his. Administration
lhat there W0S a secret bargain with the
Negro League we know from Wilson'S own
admission, for 1t was this secret compact
which he gave as his reason for appointing
such negroes as Lincoln johnson and Robert
: Terrell to high positions, where thew had
jurisdiction over white men and white women.
The bulk Of the business in the office Of
Recorder Of Deeds is transacted with white
folks, and many white women earn their
living IN clerkships there; yet President Will
son put negro at the head of the office.
A municipal Judge in the capital of the
Union necessarily presides in many cases
brought against white people; yet President
Ws1son gaze the place of City Judge to q
Republican negro
Why?
The reason which he pleaded was that there
had been secret bargain binding the Demo-
Gratis to do as much for the negro office-seek-
ers as the Republicans had done
Here you see the faithful performance
promised, IN taeo secret bargains
How was it with the public promise, made
as to Rural Credits, and relied on by the
agricultural classes?
The secret compacts were kept: the public
promise was broken-echY?
Because the Negroes and the National
Sbankers are organized, and en- politics, while
the farmers are not organized and not in
politics.
The newspaper organs which speak for
the organized bankers, railroaders, manufac-
turers, shipping interests, &C., have preached
it to the farmers that, even if they do or
game, they mustn't do into politics to get
what they want.
Needing legislative relief. they must not
adopt the only policy by which they can ever
hope to get it.
Hungry, they must not go near the table
where the other Interests are feasting
Thirsty, they must not approach the spring
where the other Interests are drinking
= What, then, must the farmer do?
He must double his guano, diversity his
crops drive his COWS to the dipping pool,
make speeches about "hog and hominy," and
increase the tribute which the Privileged
marauders wiring from his fields.
The farmers especially those Of the South,
have been listening to this rot for thirty
years, and they are listening to it, yet. God

Roman Catholic Paper Grossly
L4zbeIs Judge LaEE1bdin and
Other GeorgIaEss iEa CoxERec-
don with the Watson Case.
TO accuse Judge Of allowing violence in
the Federal Court room during the trial
of man indicted for violation of law, IS q
libel, If the facts do not support the ac-
cusation.
To accuse the Judge and jury of not de-
Gliding such case on ''the law and the evil
dence," IS q libel, both on the Judge and the
jury.
Read the following editorial extract. taken
from The Indiana Catholic, bowling about
the Watson case:
There has been much difficulty in securing a
jury. There have been demonstrations OF violence
in the court room. There have been threats made
and a show of weapons on more than one occasion.
People who surprised that this is not
decided the law and the facts, and for this
reason are inclined to regard Watson perse-
cuted man, should familarize themselves with the
Associated Press reports of this prosecution in
it's various stages.
Those who were at my trial will remember
how often Judge Lambdin admonished the
citizens present. that they were there ''by the
grace Of the c0uat," and that he would
promptly send to Jail any person who created
the least disturbance; therefore, they will be
amazed at the statement published III The
Indiana Catholic
Of course, it does not amaze me- in the
least, because I am but too familiar with the
unlimited capacity of Roman Catholic priests,
editors, and lecturers for telling lies.
'This case was not decided on the law and
the facts?"
Well, ego15, WE'LL! That was too bad.
IF Judge Lambdin made any mistakes in
the law, they were certainly not in my favor;
and if the jury got the facts wrong, Phil
North should have reported those ten con-
trary men to the Court, and had the evidence
re-read
The Roman priests have made it mighty
plain eoho is behind the ''impersonal prose
cutlOn."
The most significant feature of the editorial
in The Indiana Catholic is that 1t iIetc,4ccdres
the Fronh case aoith the persecution Of
Watson.
The Roman priests and the Big-rich Jews
have conspired together to wreak their VEN
geance upon the same man.

"BEATING BACK" TODAY
AT THE GARDEN THEATER

Omaha devotees Of the moving picture
or photoplay have an opportunity today
TO see one of the strongest films ever
produced. Through the publication Of
the story Beating Back" by Al. Jen-
nings. in the Saturday Evening Post, the
public is pretty well acquainted with the
theme.
In Beating Back" Al. jennings. the
author and central character in the
story, also plays the leading role in the
picture. Al. Jennings. you will remember.

force of circumstances. was led into a
life of crime, which included some Of
the most daring hold-ups in history, After
serving terms in federal prison he was
finally freed and went back to start life
over again. He rose. after a struggle as
lawyer, until he finally was a candi-
date for governor. This, too, in actual
life. It's n great story. and is being

that the impossible has come TO pass.

WOMEN ARE BEST
PICTURE PATRONS
And Producers Must Not Make
Which offend Them, Says
E. D. Horkheimer.
PLAYS MUST BE WHOLESOME

Filmland's best asset Is the interest OF
women and children. Anything that Of
fends them i'm moving pictures is against
the best interest of the screen. Realizing
this as an incontrovertible fact. PRODUCERS
will have nothing to do with suggestive
photop!ays.
such are the conclusions of e. d. Hork-
heimer. secretary and treasurer of the
company which makes Balboa feature

The so-called nasty picture is short

never has been known to create depend

to the written story as well as to the

to analyze the books and plays that have
gone on indefinitely. Their heart interest
is the element that has appealed to the
multitude. In every man. woman or child
there is better nature that can only
be touched by clean story.
stories Distorted.
II realize that there are certain things
represented in productions at times from
the very best movies on the part OF the
producer which advertisers distort In or
der to make a sensual appeal Then, too,
some stories which have been written
with a good motive in view are twisted
out OF all semblance to the original for
the purpose of pandering to the baser
part of men and women. But they are
becoming fewer and fewer.
Dirty dollars are not lasting and the
companies which are going ahead are
those who are putting on photoplays with
a constructive viewpoint. Wholesomeness
must be the keynote"
The observations of Mr.. Horkheimer
meet with the appfoval OF the majority
of Omaha photoplay devotees.
! II may be excusable to picture vice at
times to point the contrast and to show
how good triumphs.
