you are advocating a righteous cause
and do not believe that you could
have done the mighty works that you
have done without the sanction of
God and the direction of the Holy
Spirit. / have been reading after you
for the last twenty years and I know
of the great prosecutions heaped upon
you by your political enemies and Of
the great difficulties you have over
come. 1t has been said that the
darkest hour of the night is just be-
fore the break of day. The morning
light is beginning to throw the golden
rays upon the Eastern horizon and
a brighter day is breaking forth.
You can now look back upon the op-
preston, turmoil and strife and say
that Truly the goodness of God has
been with me all the days of my life
Now, in conclusion, I want to say
that my prayer is that you may be
led by the Holy Spirit and protected
by the power of God, and that you

SAYS ROMANISTS MADE GREAT
BLUNDER IN TRYING TO
SILENCE. FREE SPEECH.

Dear Sir: Your friends in this
community are rejoicing over your
victory in the case against you in
the Federal Court brought by your
enemies. Any man with half sense
and one eye could see that it was
case of persecution and was brought
by the knights of Columbus at the
instigation of the Roman Catholic
hierarchy. ] had no fears of your con-
viction, because l do not believe that
there are twelve honest men in the
State of Georgia that could render a
verdict against you on the charges
brought. This case will add to you
thousands of friends, as it will open
the eyes of many that have been
blinded by party prejudice. The Old
Beast has made a great blunder in
trying to silence your pen and put
you in chains. The people are be-
ginning to realize that this is their
fight as well as yours; that their
liberties are at stake, and that if
Thomas E. Watson has to be put in
chains for exposing the deviltry of
the Roman Catholic priest with wom-
en- and girls in the confessional, then
the day of the InQuisition will be
set up in Georgia.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

never do them or any of their people
any good?
Mr. Editor, your stand upon the
foreign mission issue is simply un-
assailable It can't be assumed to
pie of Georgia and other States send
ing their hard-earned money to sup
port people who are in every way
as able, financially, to take care of
themselves as we are.
Then, too, whoever knew one who
was working for our boards to be
in harmony with the "board?" They
are always mad about something that
has not gone their way. Some other
fellow has secured the position they
should have had, Or some member
of Their family has been left out and
somebody of the other fellows fam
lily given the position.
These preachers who go about
preaching under the control of the
boards have hard time of it.
They are brow-beaten and intimi-
dated and not permitted to express
their own views. We mean the Git
tie fellows" who work under the or
ders Of the officials of the boards.
If they hold a meeting at some "be-
nighted town" and fail to send in as
much money as 1.-The board" expected,
they are censured.
The writer has had some expert
ence with some of these preachers
who work for the board" and he
is aware of the fact that the little
preacher is always more concerned
about the amount of money he col
lects out of the town during "the
meeting than he is about ''the souls
that are saved" But if they can
succeed in getting some wealthy man
to join their church during "the
meetings." they look upon it as
though they had made a great sue
cess, but the addition of some poor
fellow to the church is not counted
at all.
These are facts and the people are
finding them out, and this is one
reason why "the boards are in
debt SO heavily today.
The denominational schools and
colleges are all in debt. If our peo-
pie would put the money they send
to foreign lands to support "the
heathen," into our schools and col
leges here at home, we could educate
many of our worthy boys and girls,
who would be blessing to us, pro-
vided we could keep them here among
us instead of sending thenT off to
foreign lands, to do nothing. But it
will come. The eyes of the people
are being opened and no one has
done more to open them than the
editor of The Jeff.

LET OUR CHURCH PEOPLE READ
THIS, AND REFLECT ON 1T,


Society and the churches have had
many charges against them, but some
days ago, we think we heard one of
the most cruel, and if true, one of
the worst that we have heard in
many days.
A certain gentleman made the re-
mark that it takes as much of young
mans salary in a town or city to go
with the church people and society
as it did for the young man to go
with the lawless element; in fact, he
said either crowd would take all or
more than any young man could
make on any reasonable salary.
We have given these remarks some
thought, and we find that they are
evidently true. Let young man
go to town to live; he can't stay
to himself; he must have companion
ship. If he starts to go with the
church people, oyster suppers, church
fairs, and many of the other side
issues that are these days attached
to our churches, will keep him drain
ed of money. If he should elect the
sporting element of society the same
would occur.
What is the young man to do?
Unfortunately, there are those who
are out ito collect for the church."
many who never consider the fact
that young men have a hard time Of
making their way in life and receive
very small pay these days for their
services. These collectors" or COM
mittees, are numerous in all towns
and cities and If the yOnng man is
to have any kind of standing among
these religious(O people, he must
come across" every time a subscrip-
ton list is pushed in his face, Or be
looked upon as one unworthy of
being permitted to associate with
The religious(?) people. These col
1ectors for the many institutions of
the churches have no feelings. The
more they can secure the better they
think they are; in fact, their pastors
have way Of reWarding those most
successful in parting young man
from his money. They use many
ways, unknown to the unsophisti-
Gated Any plan that will get the
money seems to be right in their
sight. You may depend upon it that
they neglect nothing that will bring
pressure upon the unfortunate VIC
Elm whom they seek to part with
his money. They never consider the
embarrassment of the young man,
and often send those to him who are
in some way connected with his
employer.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we would not
say one word against anyone giving
toward supporting the churches, but
when one reads the list of the insti-
buttons that our modern churches
propose to support at home and
abroad, you will see at once the nom
sense in anyone trying to do it, and
you will also see the evil in our
churches sending out so many of
these collectors" to prey upon our
young men.
If the truth could be known it
would no doubt show that many a
defaulter first fell behind with the
money intrusted to him by trying to
keep on the "good side" of these
religious people, by giving money
that was not his to support some in
stitution of the church in some for
eign country. If this be true, and
we cannot doubt it, as we have known
just such cases to come before us,
where is the Christianity in causing
young men to default, by trying to
cunnort in stitutiOnS which would

INCOME TAX CONSTITUTIONAL.

The Supreme Court of the United
States, in a decision handed down last
week upheld the constitutionality of the
income tax.
Chief Justice White gave the courts
decision, and all objections to the con-
stitutionality of the new amendment to
the constitution and the law which puts
the amendment in force were upheld in
whole and in every part. The law came
before the court in the case of Frank B.
Brushaber, a stakeholder Of the Union
Pacific railroad, who sought to enjoin the
company from paying the tax on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
The plaintiff contended that the law was
unconstitutional because labor, agricul-
tural and horticultural organizations and
such were exempt. The Chief Justice
held this contention was answered by
past decisions under the corporation
tax law. He said the point was only
another illustration of an erroneous as
sumption that the tax was imposed under
new power conferred upon the govern
ment by the sixteenth amendment,
whereas it was a power recognized to
exist from the beginning of the govern
ment, and thus decisions defining the
taxing power previously rendered were
applicable to it.
Five suits were brought to test the
constitutionality of the law soon after
the law become effective and all of them

found their way to the Supreme Court
OF the United States. The decision
ends fifty year fight against some from
OF an income tax law. The tax was first
imposed during the Civil war and the
years Immediately following. During
Cleveland's administration an income
tax was imposed and it was fought bitter
ly in the courts and finally declared un-
constitutional by the highest court in the
land. 49,.
An agitation for an amendment to
the constitution then began but nothing
came of it until. President Taft recon-
mended the enactment of an excise tax
on corporations to be measured by their
income and an amendment to the con-
stitution to permit the levying of an in
come tax on all incomes. The amend
ment was submitted to the states by the
congress and was proclaimed a part of
the constitution on March 1, 1913.

z Id cents per mile and the sale of inter-
state mileage books abandoned entirely.
According to a statement issued by a
St. Paul railroad official the issuance of
such mileage book is now being con-
sidered and the suggestion probably will
be taken up by the Western Passenger
Association for investigation and report.
1t is stated that the leading jobbers of
the Twin Cities are making an organized
effort for the restoration of the two-cent
rate for their travelling statesmen, who
are among the best customers of the rail-
way companies.
The only thing which seems to stand
in the way of the two-cent mile book,
is the possibility of it's abuse in it's use for
interstate travel as one book could be
used on an interstate trip by paying
the fare to the state line and then for the
remainder of the trip the mileage could
be taken from book purchased in the
adjoining state.

PREDICTED CRASH
HITS FLOUR MILL
SLEEPY EYE CONCERN APPLIES
TO HENNEPIN.COURT FOR.
RECEIVER.
MILLS AT ALBERT LEA AND
SIOUX FALLS S. D. ARE
ALSO CLOSED.

The rumor of the closing of the Sleepy
Eye mill and the probable bankruptcy of
the company operating it were confirmed
last week when a receiver was ap-
pointed by the Hennepin county district
court. The E. A. Thayer Mortgage
company was named as receiver at the
instance of the creditors of the milling
company and has taken charge of all the
property of the milling company which
not only includes the mill and elevator
at Sleepy Eye, but also number of
other mills in Minnesota and South Da-
kota.
'They mills operated by the concern
under the name of the United Flour
Milling Company, at Albert Lea, MIMI,
and Sioux Falls, S. D. have also shut
down, awaiting adjustments to be made
by the receiver.
The reason for the failure of the
milling company was the fact that
enormous quantities of flour had been
sold to European markets just before
the rise in the price of wheat. When the
time came to fill these contracts it was
found that the company had suffered
great losses and stood to suffer more I'M
less the contracts were cancelled or other
arrangements made.
Although the permanent closing of the
mill at Sleepy Eye is not among the
probabilities, it is anticipated that the
mill will not be opened for at least
several months and may not open until
late in the summer.
Sleepy Eye business men who were in
New Ulm Monday state that there is a
very strong feeling against, A. C. Won
Hagen, president of the concern, and
formerly resident of Sleepy Eye. He
removed to Minneapolis several years
ago and is said to be we'll off financially
despite the failure of the mill. At the
time of the forced closing of the mill he
was on a business trip to Kansas City.
