These Lectures ?
Dear Sir: The other day had occasion to be
lectured to by MISS PARISH, STATE SUPER
VISOR OF SCHOOLS, on Tom Watson She
sought to convince me that my faith and belief in
you are errors, calculated to unravel any
effort may make toward developing a speciman
of perfect manhood. She was super-extreme i'm
her denunciation.
Besides calling you names, SHE BRANDED
YOU AS A LIAR, and vile defamer of all things
decent. But the more you are rediculed the
firmer become established you, as the rock of
my salvation, temporarily speaking
She made some remarks which wish to bring
to your attention.
1. She said that your writing to Mr. Britain
Directing to a certain picture which appears in
the first reader, which is used in our public
schools, and his paying attention to you is the
acts-some of them.
2. She stated to privately, also during one
of her lectures, that Queen Elizabeth put more
people to death for their religious belief than did
the Bloody Mary" Is that true?
3. She stated that the Catholics are not dam
gerous to the State, any more than Baptists,
Methodists, anyother religious denomination.
Now she made that statement to in the
presence of several others.
a. She said that CATHOLIC SCHOOLS HAVE
RIGHT TO USE STATE MONEY.
Now you may think that the above is an exag-
geratofnao what Miss Parish really said but it
is not. In her lecture she put special emphasis
on her sympathy for Catholics. was astonished
Please pardon my keeping you so long.
A FRIEND.
(Comment.)
If ever [ wrote Britain a letter on any sub
lect, the fact has escaped my recollection, as
it might easily have DONE
1t the letter was civil and in its terms and
legitimate IN It's purpose, it would nave been
gentlemanly for Britain to have answered it.
IT he can produce any letter written to him
by me, he is invited to do so.
If he will state, or have his lady-elec-
tioneerer to state, what objection was made to
the picture, he will find the public ready to
read what he says.
If he, Or his lady campaigner, will forward
me the book containing the alleged picture,
| will have a cut made and publish it to an
amused audience.
(2) AS to my being liar, that has often
been alleged but never proved
On the contrary, proved that Britain lied
robustly, in his recent letter to DR.. Turner,
and proved it by Hons. c. R. McCrory and
Grover c. Edmondson
Britain did not even attempt to exonerate
himself, as he could have done by statement
from his Senator HUE, and other members or.
the legislature had his statement to DR..
Turner been true.
Britain wrote DR.. Turner that the origin
of my assailing him was false letter written
to me by Mr.. Powell of Bailey, in which let
ter Mr.. Powell accused Mr.. Britain of lobby
ing against free school-books, in the interest
of the Northern School Book Trust.
Miss Parish and Mr.. Britain should get
together and agree to tell the same tale.
(3) Queen Elizabeth never put any peo-
pie to death on account of their religion.
Those priests that she shortened by a head,
were conspirators against her life and VIC
