WHAT SOME OF THE JEFFERSONIAN READERS THINK
Dear Sir: I have just finished
reading in your paper the Frank
case. I wish you ctuld put ten thous
and copies in Atlanta, Ga. It is a
shame that we poor weak-minded
men can be ruled by such rot and
unfair deals as the Atlanta Journal
is trying to give us. Trusting your
/paper will reach every man and wo
man in Atlanta. Yours truly,
Georgia. A. S. JACKSON.
Dear Sir: I have just read your
article* in The Jeffersonian of the
13th inst. on the Frank case, and
permit me to thank you from the
depths of my heart for same. I never
read an article so appropriate and
so much needed at this time, not in
the Frank case only, for we have
thousands of cases in every State.
It is a common saying, (and it is
true,) give one enough money and
they can murder you without a cause
and come clear. lam sure your arti
cle will do much good all over the
States. It will be read and appre
ciated by the best people all over the
country. 1 have often thought of
thanking you for the good you are
doing in the many articles you have
written in the past, yet I write poor
ly and felt my weakness to express
my true feeling.
I hope you may not stop at this,
but will continue to write on this
line, for if there is one thing that
calls for rebuke it is the power of
money and its influence over the
courts of our country. I feel that
every honorable man in our county
will thank you for this article.
The newsboys sold The Jefferso
nian readily here for 25c.
Yours respectfully,
Georgia. M. W. DAVIS.
Dear Sir: Your editorial in The
Jeffersonian of March 19th, regard
ing the Frank case, “When and
where shall rich criminals be tried.”
I, like many others, am glad to know
that there is one editor in this fair
land that dares to board the lion in
his den; to-wit, the Journal’s editor
and espouse the cause of justice of
equal rights to all, anad special privi
leges to none. If Leon M. Frank has
not had a fair trial it is strange that
after a careful examination of the
testimony and proceedings of the
trial in the Superior Court that the
highest tribunal of the State fails to
see it, and we believe that even that
all that many can do the guilty man
will get justice, for we can see far
above the din of this great legal bat
tle the towering form of the Invinci
ble Dorsey, and we feel sure that the
State’s case in in good hands. On
acocunt of the stand taken by the
Journal in the Frank case a num
ber of us here have discontinued our
paper and i am sending you a club
of ten subscribers.
Wishing success to The Jefferso
nian, I am very sincerely yours,
Georgia. W. T. HOGAN.
Dear Sir: You are right, as usual.
I have wanted to see some BIG MAN
jump James R. If there is any hide
left on him, guess it is rather bruised.
He has let down a gap through
which the preachers and a whole lot
of others as well are flocking like
sheep. Can you. not see where such
is inevitably loading? Why not ad
vocate Judge Lynch at once. Is it
not unlawful to turn a guilty man
loose by mob law the same as to
hang a guilty man by the same law?
In other words, “Why is the law?”
if our leading men favor law by the
moulding of public opinion to fit each
criminal case. “ADMIRER,”
Dear Sir: I have read with much
interest what you say in The Jeffer
sonian in regard to editorial in
Atlanta Journal. “Frank Should
have a new trial.” You not only
expressed my sentiments, but you ex
pressed the belief of ninety per cent
of the people (Gentiles) of Atlanta.
Your editorial is being read with
great interest throughout the city,
THE JEFFERSONIAN
OF “THE FRANK CASE”
and receiving wide congratulations.
It is a dirty shame that our papers
can be bought, and so much money
used to clear the murderer of the
most horrible crime ever committed
in Georgia.
I only wish there were more Wat
son’s to show us the corruptness
practiced in our courts, and not so
many Rosser’s, Arnold’s and Burns’.
Assuring you that your editorial
was highly appreciated by a majori
ty of the people of Atlanta, and wish
ing that you may live long to keep
up the good work you are doing.
I am as ever with you,
Georgia. W. P. HILL.
Dear Sir: I made this list of sub
scriptions up in compliment to your
article on the Frank murder case,
in The Jeffersonian of March 19th.
We, as all other fair minded people,
agree with you that Frank had a
fair and impartial trial. We do not
believe the statement made by
Frank’s counsel in New York about
the race prejudice in the South. It
should be looked on as false and a
grasping scheme. It took me but a
few r hours to complete this list, as
the people subscribed so readily af
ter hearing your article read.
Yours truly,
Georgia. M. N. BOWDEN.
My Dear Mr. Watson: Allow me
to express my sincere and hearty ap
proval on the article in The Jefferso
nian laying bare the monstrous ef
fort of certain Atlanta papers to give
orders to our judges of Superior and
Supreme courts, and trying cases in
the papers, and brow-beating the
public mind, or rather attempting to
do so.
Let the great commonwealth of
Georgia render thanks to our God, as
did the Hebrew children of old —fol-
low the pillow of cloud by day and
pillow of fire by night. Tom Wat
son is a light house of strength, ever
ready with tongue and pen to give
courage to the wavering lines of a
fierce battle in behalf of the great
masses—for he loves them, and the
great principles for which we have
long struggled.
With kindest regards,
Georgia. THEODORE RICE.
Dear Sir: I went into Miller’s
Book Store on Marietta street in At
lanta Thursday morning to buy The
Jeffersonian of March 19th. While
there a news boy came in and asked
the man behind the counter to sell
him some Jeffersonians. The sales
man refused, saying that he could
sell them himself. The news boy
insisted and stated that ho could sell
“about fifty in a minute” if he could
get them. The salesman still de
clined to sell the papers and the boy
started out of the store. As he was
leaving I said to him. “Son why are
people so anxious to buy The Jeffer
sonian.” His reply was, “the Jews
are buying them and cutting them
up.” It occurred to me that the
incident might prove of interest to
you personally. Yours very truly,
Georgia. READER.
My Dear Mr. Watson: I thank you
a thousand times over for the mas
terly editorial in The Jeffersonian of
March 19th, on editorial in the Jour
nal calling for a new trial in the
Frank case. You have done the ju
diciary of this State and all good peo
ple a lasting service. Nothing you
have written in recent years is being
So widely read. The good people of
both races are blessing and praying
for your bravery. Your name was
heard almost everywhere, in street
cars, hotels, street corners and pub
lic places.
I am asking you to carefully read
editorial here marked en flesed.
Please set this party who is entire y
out of place just where he can he
placed by Honorable Tom Watson.
Take the salient points and stand
them out. This party has been more
than abusive and has been criticising
and finding fault for six months, but
especially of late. The best, people
of both races will be very grate
ful to you if you can and will set
the ball rolling. I send this at the
request of a score and more of per
sons. Yours truly,
Georgia. R. D. S.
CLARK HOWELL REFUSED TO
PUBLISH IT.
Dear Sir: Have just asked The
Constitution to reproduce your arti
cle on the Frank case. Clark How
ell refused. Yours truly,
Ga. AMERICAN-AMERICAN.
Dear Sir: I can’t help but com
ment on your editorial in The Jef
fersonian, issue of 19 th inst., on the
Frank case. It does seem to me you
hit somebody. I hardly know how
to tell what I think, but if murder
trials are to be tried in the press of
our State, and in the pulpits of our
churches, why in the name of com
mon reason don’t we have the courts
abolished. Ido not see any need of
going to so much expense if the de
cree of our State’s highest tribunal
is to be set aside. If our religious
system has now got to take up cases
that have been tried and tested and
clamor for new trials, then I say cut
the court out, and let’s have one sys
tem for the rich and poor alike. Go
on Thos. E., I glory in your grit.
Respectfully yours,
GORDON RAINWATER.
Georgia.
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find
check for $5.50 for a club of 11 sub
scribers to the Weekly Jeffersonian,
as per the enclosed list.
I want to congratulate Mr. Watson
upon the recent article on the Leo
Frank case. I had decided that I
would have my paper discontinued
when my subscribtion expired, but I
feel that I owe it to you to send
this list, which I secured in just a
few minutes. I now think that I
will be a life-long subscriber to your
paper, and assure you that I am,
Faithfully your friend,
Georgia. D. P. C.
Dear SiT: I want to compliment
you on your logical exposition of the
Frank case in this week’s Jefferso
nian.
Though couched in different
phraseology, it voices exactly what I
have been contending, especially in
regard to the Journal’s editorial,
those ministers who have touched on
the Frank case from their pulpits
and Wm. J. Burns.
Every household in Georgia sliould
have a copy of this week’s Jefferso
nian.
What would Robert Toombs, the
great Southern lawyer, if he were
living, think of the methods that
have been employed in the Frank
case?
Hundreds and hundreds of Atlan
tans are hunting for t 1 is week’s Jef
fersonian. Yours very truly

ATLANTA ATTORNEY.
My Dear Mr. Watson: I have
been a subscriber of the Jeffs and
one of your ardent admirers for a
number of years, but I have never
read an article written by you that
w r as more in accord with my views
than that in yesterday’s Jeffersonian,
bearing on the Leo Frank case. I
am satisfied that it is purely a ques
tion of “filthy lucre” that is carrying
the banner of that infamous crimi
nal, and I speak the sentiments of
90 per cent of the citizenry of my
county in so stating. As a law-abid
ing citizen, and as an official com
missioned and sworn to uphold tho
law and dignity of my own fair State,
I say AMEN to all you have said, and
I am real anxious to hear you com
ment on the “pastors’ views” of tho
Frank case. With' best wishes for
your success, I am,
Your admiring friend,
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
