What Did I Tell You About Having Uncle Saia in a Hole?
1 F you meandered through last week’s Jes
-1 fersonian, you saw where it was stated that
your Uncle T. E. W. was after Uncle Sam,
with a sharp stick, endeavoring to learn at
what price the Government was insuring that
cotton, which it forced you to sell at S3O per
bale.
Why do I say the Government forced you
to sell at S3O per bale?
I say it because the Government refused to
lend you the money to hold it, BUT LOAN
ED THE SPECULATORS THE MONEY
TO BUY IT.
That hastily made new money, which was
doped out to the National banks by the hun
dred millions, was used to buy your cotton.
The banks paid the Government 3 per cent
interest for it, and if the banks themselves
’did not use it to buy the 6-cent cotton, they
loaned it at 8 per cent to the men who did.
Consequently, the undeniable fact is, that
you couldn’t hold the cotton, for lack of
money, while the speculators could buy it,
with new paper money hurriedly created by
the Government.
Naturally I wanted to know at what price
the Government insured this same 6-cent cot
ton, after the speculators had got it.
Bless your eyes! Uncle Sam tried to side
step the question. But I persisted, and at
length the following letter comes:
How Many States of the Union Has the Foreign Pope
IN North Carolina, there is a splendid anti
* Catholic paper, called, The Yellow Jacket.
It is one of the American papers that the
Knights of Columbus, and other subjects of
the Italian pope, want to kill, by having it
thrown out of the mails.
In its current issue I find a statement of the
19 States of this Union, in which the foreign
Church of the Italian pope has a numerical
superiority the combined Protestant
churches.
The States that already take all of their
religion, and much of their politics, from
'Rome, are Arizona, California, Colorado,
Connecticut,-Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts,

The Leo Frank Case Still Raging io Northern Papers
DEAR SIR: Leo Frank’s effort to account for
his absence from his office from 12 noon
until 12:20 p. m., the very time that little Mary
Phagan was being outraged and murdered, by
stating that he might have unconsciously gone
to the toilet, is absurd in the extreme.
No man ever went into a toilet without a shock
caused by the great difference in the air as be
tween the toilet and the hallway, and I venture
the assertion that even though one were walking
in his sleep, the shock to his sense of smell would
arouse him immediately to consciousness. At the
hotel dinner table recently several drummers and
a country newspaper editor all expressed their
belief in Frank’s innocence, because the paid
hirelings of big magazines and prostituted news
papers as well, have acquitted him. One of the
drummers said that out of 549 letters to the Post-
Dispatch, of St. Louis —Mr. Pulitzer’s western edi
tion of the egotistical New York World, —534 of
the writers fce’jgypd Frank innocent.
Thomson, Ga,, Thursday, March 25, 1915
Treasury Department.
Washington, March 16, 1915.
Mr. Thomas E. Watson,
Editor, Jeffersonian Publishing Company,
Thomson, Georgia.
Sir: I have your letter of March 11th and in
reply will say that we have insured cotton at
many different prices, and it is quite impossible
to give you any averages or make any estimate
of what our average price per pound has been.
W’e insured the “Carib” and the “Evelyn”
hulls and cargoes for a total of $659,103. On
the “Evelyn” the amount per bale was S7O, and
on the “Carib” the amount averages about
$67.21 per bale. The hull of the “Evelyn” was
insured for SIOO,OOO, and the hull of the “Carib”
for $22,253.
By direction of the Secretary.
Respectfully,
A. J. PETERS,
Assistant Secretary.
■ r ..
Now, brethren, what do you think of that?
Brother Peters dodges me still on all the
insured cotton, excepting that which was on
board the two ships that, were lost at sea.
But the Government had insured at S7O a
bale the cotton on the Evelyn., and at an aver
age of about $67.21 the bales on board the
Carib.
To make an average of $67.21, it is neces
sary to assume that some of the Carib's cot
ton was also insured at S7O a bale.
In all your life, did you ever see anything
like this?
The distressed farmer was promised, in the
Already Captured?
Island, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, Wyoming
and the District of Columbia.
That’s one of the results of Protestant in
difference, over-confidence, mealy-mouthed
ness, and disinclination to “hurt feelings,'’ or
to stir up “religious strife.”
Did the winners of civil or-religious liberty
go about in velvet slippers, and with cotton
gloves on, and with an eternal fear of hurt
ing feelings?
Did the founders of Protestant churches,
schools, States and institutions grow pale at
the idea of “religious strife?”
Born of the tempest, children of the storm,
My reply was that probably 53 2 of the 534 were
from Israelites and that none of them had read
the evidence as shown by the record. 1 also
handed the editor my Watson’s for March, and
dared him to read it.
If the big Jew editors, bankers and others don’t
look out they will fan into flame the smouldering
embers of that old ground-in-the-bone prejudice
from which even the double eagle may be unable
to save them. 808 MUNROE.

these convicting facts are—
