Railway Officials and Representa-
tives of Residents Discuss Con-
ditions on Washington Lines.

The education Of the public and its CO.
operation with the railways was de-
clared by company officials to be a
solution to the overcrowding of the
street cars. at a public hearing in the
boardroom of. the District building to-
day before the public utilities commits
sion.
The hearing was to give the railway
officials and the public in general a
chance to present. through the commits
sion. their views regarding a proposed
schedule of the commission for street
railway cars during rush hours and
non-rush hours. 1t Is provided In the
proposed schedule that every standing
passenger. during the rush hours be
allowed seven square feet of space, and
that during the non-rush hours there be
a seat for every passenger
Mr.. Ham Gives Views.
W. F. Ham, vice president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, who addressed the commits
sion after Engineer Commissioner C.
W. Kutz. as chairman of the body, had
explained in detail the proposed
schedule" said the principal thing to
be done is the education of the public.
He said that by the cooperation of
the public better conditions would ex-
list on the cars. He declared the sub
ject has received considerable investi-
cation on the part of experts in vari-
Gus cities and that before any stand

One Reason Cited.
The speaker called attention to the
fact that during some delay on the lines
persons who have been waiting for
car get on the first one that comes.
although there are others closely fol-

others reach the point there are not
enough passengers to fill them.

always take the first cars and over
crowd them. The abolition of fire stops
was suggested also as aremedy to pre-
vent overcrowding. Mr.. Ham said the
fire stops cause delay. He suggested
that before any standard is fixed the
experts of the commission should CO.
operate with the railway experts to
determine II there ought to be more
cars. He said there are different types
of cars and that one type does not per-
init as much room for passengers as
another. u

MORE ROMAN CATHOLIC ABUSE
OF FRANK

GBy Gilbert O. Nations, Vice-Presi-
dent of the Free Press Defense
League, So Bliss Building, Washing
ton, d. CO.
The State of Virginia received on
the eve of the election veritable
deluge of political literature against
Woman Suffrage sent through the
mails under the frank of Roman
Catholic representative Charles P.
Cody, Of Baltimore, Maryland. 1t
is suspected that other States have
shared in this inundation
1t will be remembered that the
Congressional Record states early in
September that Roman Catholic Sen
atOr Ashurst, Of Arizona, was send
ing at least $4,000 copies of letter
into the State of Arizona for the pur-
pose of securing his reelection TO
the Senate. This letter was printed
at the Government Printing Office
on the official letterhead of Senator
Ashurst as chairman of the Indian
Committee, and was sent through
the mail under his franking privi-
lege.
Roman Catholic Representative
Ben Johnson, of Kentucky, a few
months ago sent vast quantities OF
his vitriolic TRADE against The Men
ace to all parts of the country under
his Thanking privilege. Roman Cath
Ollie Representative James A. CALI
van, Of Boston, Massachusetts, has
done the same in favor of various
Roman Catholic measures which he
has espoused in Congress.
1t seems as inevitable for Ro-
man Catholic in either branch of
Congress to abuse the franking privi-
lege by sending through the mails
at the public expense tons of papa1
slop as it is for him to introduce and
champion measures in the interest
of Roman Catholic politics Mani
testify, the only cure for this per-
nicious abuse Of official power is to
retire these papal henchmen to pri-
vate life.

A LETTER TO DIR. AINsWORTH

A LETTER TO DIR. AINSWORTH.
Waycross, Ca, Nov. %, 1916.
DR.. W. N. Ainsworth,
Attending the Annual Conference,
brownsville, Ga.
My Dear Sir: You have seen fit
to denOunce Hon. Thomas e. Watson
on the eve of his trial, case trumped
up against him by Catholic influence
This is not in keeping with the
Gospel you profess, and it is taking
an advantage Of Mr.. Watson, which
among honorable gentlemen is called
COWARDLY.
The Catholic church is indeed
menace to the liberties of the Pro-
testants in these United States and
no one is better acquainted with the
tyranny of the Catholic church in
Europe than yourself, and the aim
Of the Catholic church in this coun-
trY,to shackle the liberty of religious
thought and freedom of it's express
sion.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson is the
fearless patriot of American liberties
and his fearless pen has written the
Thesis for America and nailed it to
the door Of Catholic oppression and
greed as warning to this free
people that their liberties are
threatened.
You should apologize to Mr.. Wat
son for your unchristian and unpro-
voked attack upon him in this the
day of the trial Of your religious
liberty as we'll as ours.
Respectfully yours,

frequently heard Pastor Russell lee
ture and am we'll posted as to his
works and eventfuI life.
Your splendid stand for the
Right against the Wrong in your
masterful criticism of The Christian
Index for their uncharitable and un-
truthful statements about Pastor
Russell at his death is not only ap-
preciated by Russellites, but there
is an increasing number of fair
minded thinking men and women

appear to be uncharitable, but it is
unthinkable to take the stand that
through ignorance he did it," for
the reason that absolute proof on
the matter is obtainable, and they
are without excuse
AS a further token of my appre-
citation Of your inimitable publica-
tions, I am enclosing $500 to pay
for the Jeff's one year, also copy
of Bethany.
We believe there are great
many other "Russellites,' both those
who are familiar with the life and
works of Pastor Russell and those
who are Feeling after" something
more satisfying than the unchristian
and uncharitable stand taken by the
Index in regard to Pastor Russells
life and death, who would be glad
to show their appreciation Of your
stand for Right, by subscribing for

called to your defence of Pastor
Russell
Thanking you, and with assurance

MORE OF PASTOR RUSSELL'S
FRIENDS,

Dear Sir: Please allow me to ex-
press my appreciation, as we'll as
that of other members of the Inter-
national Bible Students Association
in this vicinity, Of the splendid criti-
c1sm appearing in the November Is.
1916, issue of The Jeffersonian, of
the article on the death Of Pastor
Russell published in "The Christian
Index" I have read comments on
the death of Pastor Russell in many
(possibly thirty religious journals,
representing Baptists, Presbyterians,
Methodists, Lutherans, Catholics,
Episcopalians, Christians, etc, ana
[ have yet to read the first one that
treats the subject with any semb1ance
of fairness and truthfulness, to saw
nothing of the spirit of the Master,
whose Ambassadors they profess to
be.
To read an article that is fair in
a secular journal, after having read
slanderous and malicious editorials
in religious papers (where veracity
and charity ought to be controlling
virtues,) creates a sense of relief
that must be felt to be appreciated.
The Scribes and Pharisees of
Jesus day crucifed the Just One on
false and slanderous charges. while
Plate, recognizing the fallacious
claims Of those religious leaders,"
cried, "Ecco homo, "-"Behold THE
MAN." The attitudes of the secular
press Gas represented by The Jeffer-
sonlan) and the religious field Of
journalism (Scribes) of today appear
to be somewhat analogous to the
attitudes of similar classes of our
Lords day.
Enclosed is postage in the sum Of
rs cents, for which please send me
the equivalent in copies of the No
vember 10th issue of The Jefferso-
MAN.
Yours in the interest Of Truth and
Fairness.

Tobacco Habit

The health improves wonderfully af-
ter the nicotine poison is out of the

manly vigor, strong memory and a
general gain in efficiency are among
that nervous feeling; no more need of
pipe, cigar, cigarette, snuff or chewing
tobacco to pacifY morbid desire.

FRIENDS OF PASTOR RUSSELL
GRATEFUL FOR TRIBUTE.

Dear Sir: We, citizens of this
city, desire to express to you our
thanks for your able defense of Pas
tor Russell, who has been personally
known to all of us for many years.
His pure, noble, unselfish life, clos
ing, as you remark, Sin a glorious
end" certainly leaves bright memo
ries and a faithful example for all
of us who knew him, to follow.
Pastor Russell was not divorced
from his wife, but the court gave his
wife bill Of separation on account
of inCompatibility The evidence
would not permit of q divorce de-
cree. The charges brought by his
wife were cruelty, not unfaithfulness.
The Index is certainly criminally liza
BILE for charging Pastor Russell with
unfaithfulness to his wife, besides
the editor is supposed to be a
Christian, and the paper by it's name,
an Index Of the teachings Of Christ,
and His apostles, and seems to have
lost sight Of the injunction to "speak
evil Of no man." (Titus 3:2) ''To
speak the truth in love-" (Eph.
abb The editor seems also to
have lost all sense of propriety
which men everywhere recognize as
the proper course expressed by the
old Latin motto: Say nothing but
good Of the dead"
Thanking you again for your kind
ness and the privilege of reading
your defense, and wishing you con-
tinued success in your fearless bat
tie against evil, we are,
Most cordially YOURS

Orofino Defeats Peck.

Peck came near defenating Orofino
Sunday afternoon on the local
diamond in the first game of the sea-
son. OF the two teams Peck showed
better teamwork, and evidently had
been doing some practicing, making
few errors compared to the Orofino
boys who at times couldn't stop or
catch batted ball. 1t was evident
the locals hadn't practiced, and up
to the last half of the ninth inning
1t looked very much like the visitors
would win. When Oroino came up
for the last half OF the last inning
the score stood to 9 in favor of
Peck. By fortunate combination
of circumstances, including safe hit
or two, Orofino scored three, winning
the game.
With the exception of little argu-
ment over a substitute hitter at The
critical moment to which Peck OBJ
jected, the game was free from any
thing but good natured bantering and
honest rivalry, and was a clean and
interesting exhibition. The teams
play at Peck Sunday afternoon, April
