Has anybody heard the Suffragists de
manding an equal right to work the roads?
Or to serve in the Militia? Or to help build
bridges and sky-scrapers?
We have heard of women on the police

better employed, if they had robust husbands

Gnawing at the heart of the average wom

Additional Letters From the People
IF WE HAD A FEW MORE LIKE
“UNCLE JIM” PARISH, WE’D
LIKE IT.
Dear Sir: 1 am able at last to
send you another club. lam glad to
tell Hon. T. E. Watson of an old
friend of long standing. It is E. W.
Callaway, Ashland, Ala., R. F. D. No.
1. He was 91 years old last October.
(If i am not mistaken in what the
dear old man told me a few weeks
ago.)
He s aid he had been reading your
papeis ail the time since you started
the People’s Party Paper in Atlanta,
Ga., years ago.
When I first went to see him since
I have been back here at Ashland,
Ala., from Sylvester, Ga., he was
reading the Jeff, and told me that he
wouid keep taking it as long as he is
permitted to stay here.
If he gets so blind he cannot see
how to read, he aims to keep taking
it because lie thinks you are the best
friend the common people has in this
nation.
He told me that the people would
not have learned the truth about the
Leo Frank case if it had not been for
you. And he is so glad, like thou
sands of other people that you are
not tor sale at any price.
He also told me that he was elector
from his district, when the Populists
ran you for President the last time.
The dear good old friend E. W.
Ca.laway is in line with thousands of
Other good people that congratulates
you in your fight with the Roman
Catholic beast at Augusta, Ga., last
November. That poor Baptist preacher
who could not qualify as a juror on
a count of bias against Hon. Tom
Watson, I think needs the prayers of
al! good praying people.
May the good Lord have mercy on
his poor soul.
If he is biased on account of Hon.
T. E. Watson exposing Foreign Mis
sions 1 would be glad if he would
get the book Foreign Missions ex
posed and read it (if he can with an
unbiased mind) and I think it would
do him lots of good.
Say Brother Preacher, suppose you
take old Jim Parrish’s advice and
buy i he book, it wii! only cost you
30 certs postpaid. Do get. it for your
own sake. Also please read the
weekly Jeff, and learn how our Tom
Watson is winding up and whiping
out brother William 11. Smith of the
Mission Board.
ask Tom Watson for the
ekly Jeff, of January 13th, and
read it carefully and I think it will
tell you something that you did not
know when you could not qualify to
sit on the Tom Watson case.
Hurrah for the fight Hon. T. E.

THE JEFFERSONIAN
Watson and the rest of the Jeff,
crew is making. ‘ •
If any of my friends is like Ray
mond Stubbs of Ashland, Ala., Route
3, was, I want you to do like he did
He was so prejudiced, he did not
want to read anything that Tom Wat
son wrote. I prevailed on him to
read the Jeff, one year and he sub
scribed for it for one year. When he
had read the Jeff one year, he then
renewed for it and subscribed for the
Watson Magazine.
Then when they both expired he
renewed again for both, and he told
me last Friday he expects to keep
taking them as long as Tom Watson
keeps making the fight he is now
making. Can not all true patriots
do like Raymond Stubbs did?
Yours very truly,
J. H. PARRISH,
in the fight.
“FATHER” KAUL SAYS HE IS
“BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.”
We happened to see a sly news
paragraph in the Lancaster Examiner
—a paper that has been Reformer,
Bull Mooser, etc. —that told of a
new parochial school building that
had just been completed, adjacent
to the St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic
Church, the Sacred Heart Academy,
and the Lord only knows what all
there is thereabouts.
A line was added, that the Very
Reverend Father Kaul said “we are
building for the future.” He spoke
the truth that time. That’s just it!
Rome is building for the future. If
the editor of the Examiner had been
a patriotic citizen, he would have
made that remark the text for a
ringing editorial. But he lacks the
backbone.
That popish parochial school
stands for ignorance, superstition
and idolatry. It stands for a foreign
ecclesiastical system, the head of
which claims to control the religion
and politics of its adherents, outside
and above their rights and duties
under the civil government that gives
them protection. That parochial
school is a direct and emphatic an
tagonist to the object and purpose
of every free public school, in the
city, State and nation, if it deserves
the name.
The Very Reverend “Father” Kaul
(who is also a very successful busi
ness man and an accumulator of
great wealth ) knows what he means
when he says ho is building for the
future, when he builds a parochial
school, in which the plastic minds
of the young are bent to popery, and
hell-bent to alt things really Amer
ican, ever after.—Ezra J. Weaver in
“The Antic-Clerical Whip” (Lancas
ter, Pa.),
happy at home; or female freaks and frights
who had rather follow a banner through
the streets, and shrilly shriek, “Votes for
Women!” than to stay indoors, and pedal the
sewing machine or fondle the cat.
The ballot is not a right: it is a privilege:
that’s a distinction seldom drawn, but it is
true, nevertheless.
Why don't we allow the ballot to a young
man whose age is 20 years, 11 months, and
29 days ?
Why do we allow the ballot to the same
man when he is three days older?
What difference can one day, or one month
make in the man?
Then, again, there are numbers of youths
who are maturer at 18 years than others are
at 21: yet they can't vote.
Why not? Because an arbirtary line had
to be drawn, somewhere, and it was drawn at
21 years.
It is not the right of every man to vote and
hold office: it is a political privilege, to be
Dear Sir: I have thought for some
time that I would write you a few
words of congratulation for the way
you handled the Frank case. And I
say for one, if those other nations of
people does not want to come under
our rules of government, let them
stay in Germany, Italy, France, Rus
sia, or Peru for we can get along all
O. K. without them.
And there is ohe other item, to-wit:
the Missionary Baby Bounty system.
I never have, in all of my life, since
I can remember, been so close fisted
that I was not willing to help any
one that was in need, but I don’t see
very much charity in neglecting our
own children to make kings and
queens out of the so called heathen.
And my Bible tells me that charity
begins at home, and truly that is
where it ought to begin. But judg
ing the future by the past, it re
minds me of the old negro’s cotton
rows. He said that it didn’t make
any difference with him, as to
whether they are long, short or
crooked just so they set comming, so
when the bell rang, he could go
straight to the house.
And if I can see those missionaries
straight, all they are looking for is
the ducats to be coming and every
thing is all O. K.
I will first say that I have never
been a Tom Watson man and have
been reading his paper hardly a year,
but I am here to say that in my
humble judgment he is one of the
best friends the farming class of
people has ever had and his friend
ship don’t stop there, but I have not
words to express how far it goes, and
1 am looking for the time to come
when there will be more men, women
and children that will put forth their
best efforts to help our uncle T. E. W.
on his journey for the people and
state.
Mr. Watson, you can publish these
few lines if you wish. Would be
glad if every man who is reading
your Jeff, or magazine would write
a little, if no more than to say hur
rah for Tom Watson
Mr. Watson I will ask you to
change my Jeff, from Uvalda, Ga .
Route 2, to Vidalia, Ga., Route 2. as
I am nearer to vidalia, Route 2, than
to Uvalda, Route 2. I hope to be
able to send you in another large list
of subscribers this year.
Thanking you for all the good that
you have done, and hoping that your
life may be spared you many yeirs
to come, is the wish and prayer of
your friend.

There is no such thing as a United States
voter: the Federal Government cannot legally
enfranchise, or disfranchise.
The U. S. Government obtained—or claims
to have obtained—from the States the power
to decree that no citizen of a State should be
deprived of the ballot, because of his color,
or previous condition of servitude.
There are no Federal citizens, no Federal
electors, no Federal elections: all that is the
affair of the States.
You are not a citizen of the Union, and a
U. S. voter: you are a citizen of a State in
the Union, and you are a voter of the Stated.
It is well enough, for the Suffragist
to consider this, because they seem to I f

longs elsewhere. .4
The Federal Government cannot legally
give votes to women, unless it first seeks and
obtains the permission of three-fourths of the
