Earnest Protest Against Proposed Federal
Interference.

Editor Constitutions: Tie president of the
United States is touring the country eloquently
and periodically arousing the people to sense or
preparedness.
TIE president is appealing to all classes; he is
addressing himself to a common statehood he is
talking unity and urging the people to weld them
selves into an indestructb1e union OF patriotic
preparedness.
OF the people, without re- ard to political class;
without regar dto section; without regard to
section; without regard to states.
He is president. The United States is our
country. The pers that threaten are our .perils
We must stand together and face the issue, for
veal or for wee.
Whatever the enemy, must meet that enemy
Net in sections. Not in classes. Not in parties
But must meet the enemy altogether.
Georgia must be there with New York with
Pennsylvania, with California. And Georgia is
ever there. She the first in the Spanish
American war She will never be the second in
any war.
But while Georgia is standing in ready waiting
to strike in common defense, news comes that
the department of Justice is planning to strike
her manhood and dsn1antle her statehood by hay
ing the federal grand ju in Pennsylvania
some other state or states indct Thomas E. Wat
son and try him the third time for alleged vio-
lation of the postal laws, the theory that
Georgia juries will perjure themselves in order
that he may not be punished.
The press says that the assistant attorney
general has thus libeled our people, and thus pro-
poses to lend the influence of the Washington
office.
Did the assistant attorney general say this of
Georgia? He knew at the moment that he
uttering a base SANDER against great people.
Can there be any department of justice with
such man in control?
What influence is at work to direct the judicial
department at Washington in way that threat
the integrity Of the t9te?
If this be possible, it is an unhOly %influence.
It is a corrupt and haneful Influence. 1t is an
urdemocratic influence 1t is un-American
influence.
1t is an influence that says to Georgia and
other states: Prepare! Not against some Asiatic
foe' Not against either Of the contending forces
OF Europe-but prepare now, this day, against

the lnsldlous enemy that is sapping the life and
corrodng the integrity of the Washington gov
eminent.
Think Geergians! delegation of congress-
men, your representatives, having to go before
the judicial branch of democratic administra-
ton and beSeech, yes, beseecn, the attorney gen-
eral not to permit indictment Of one of your
citizens by a grand jury OF a state that may be
wholly 1nimlcal to civilization. And for the
reason said to have been expressed to your con-
sressmen by this insolent official that Georgia
jury was net honorable enough to return lust
verdict.
Thiuk OF Your congressman allowing this SLAM
Ger to he hurled without vigorous denunciation
OF the !oel and the lbeler, then and there to his
face.
Think of pleading, instead of vehemently pro-
testing--in the presence OF the department-and
before the congress of the states!
Can our senators be full of personal spleen
against the individual that they will allow their
state to be dismantled of it's rights rather than
protest against the outrage involved in the threat
to drag into another state, and probably before
a prejudiced jury, citizen of their state who
happens to be Thomas E. Watson?
For what? Professedly for publishing part
OF the evidence in the Frank case, which Attorney
General Gregory has already declared obscene.
Why not indict the publisher who is mailing
the evidence in detail in book form?
Was any publisher indicted for printing the
details of the Thaw trial? Was there ever more
obscene record published than this awful story,
which appeared in the Atlanta papers, the New
York papers, the Chicago papers, the San Fran
CISCO papers, the Boston papers and the Phila-
delphia papers?
The press service carried this story Of shame
and slime Did anyone think of indictng them?
Have we one standard of law for other pub
fishers and a different standard for Tom Wat
son?
Oh for Troup in the governors chair!
If | were governor of Georgia I would resist
with all the power that belongs to the office any
such move as is suggested-to invade the rights
and offend the dignity of my state.
Ii this dastardly work of the offcia! brigand is
attempted, "prostitute' should be branded over
the brow Of every man connected with the infa1ny
and prostitution" should be painted in black
black letters over the doors through which dis
mant1ed statehood may enter into the unfit pres
ence of Russanized chamber of Justice at
Washington.
But it has not been done Tom Watson is vet
III Georgia Georgians still live to protect the
blood-bought rights of the freeman.
The man who prevent this contemplated
outrage and who fails to do is both bastard
and fool.

Home.

Home
To the Editor of The New York World:
According to the Washington dispatches this
morning, it is reported that the United States
Government will attempt to have Tom E. Watson
of Georgia indicted somewhere other than his
home in reference to sending matter through the
mails on the Frank case.
You made a great fight on your own behalf
not to have to stand trial in any Jurisdiction
other than your home jurisdiction a few years
ago. Won't you lift your veice against a similar
Injustice as against Tom Watson? The fact that
you thought him all wrong on the Frank case
will make your protest all the stronger
