Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN Is Congress Blind and IS OUR PRESENT ATTITUDE THE LOGICAL RESULT OF OUR “FOREIGN MISSION” f POLICY? Dear Sir: lam enclosing a check for ten dollars. $5.00 a contribution from a 19 year old boy, my son, and $5.00 a contribution from myself, to aid Thos. E. Watson in his fight to uphold the Constitution on the Espi onage and Conscription. Fifty cents for 5 booklets called, I believe, “Independence.” It con tains the Constitution and the Dec laraticW of Independence. From en closed clipping you will see that “our 4 democracy rulers” evidently open our mail, this no doubt our Editor, T. E. W. has experienced, “God bless him.” I am enough of the 1776 brand of an American to be glad of the cause and the victory those gal lant men won, and don’t want to go back under King George. Os course, it appears that we are now under a Kaiser or Emperor just as much as the Germans.

Did we not always worry more about converting the heathens and others 3,000 or 4,000 miles away more than tohse at our very door? Did we not worry more about their health, their food supplies, their general living conditions, (i am re ferring to Japs and other distant protegees of ours) more than we did about the starving (both physical and spiritual) that were at our very door hungering and thirsting for that which we gave at distance, but re fused at home. So you see we are worrying more about getting de mocracy, free press and free speech ■ our European, Asiatic and dist ant protegees, than we are about having them at home; in otherwords we have our eyes fastened so much on the new Jerusalem, of democracy abroad that we can’t see the Hell of autocracy-Kaiserism. What the devil is building in our very midst? Sending money I pre sume is a jail offense. This may be Lese Majesty to send money to fight to uphold the Constitution and Dec laration of Independence, as our forefathers gave it to us. With an earnest prayer to God, that he may bless T. E.W. with health, wisdom and courage. Yours truly, Pa. W. G. o GEORGIA.

Dear Sir: Bear in mind your most worthy efforts for the cause of liber ty, and the continuance of a free government, is being felt in old Ar kansas. Time only will reveal the great work you are doing. So strong is your reason and logic that no man who looks the issue square in the face can successfully refute it. We love our country, we love its princi ples for which our forefathers faught, and by them we are willing to stand ,shouldering whatever our part may chance to be; but we are unwilling to resort to one thing wrong to win the great war. I verily believe our past success in war has mainly been due to a right beginning; and I believe too, if we will only re main true to the great cause of liberty, fight our enemy to maintain our rights which we love and cher rish and for which more than one Century ago, thousands of old pat riots bled their lives away, we shall surely win now. So let all come to gether as one common people and reason upon the situation like men. Yes, lets have more mass meetings, more and more of them, yes, lots of them, until every hill, valley, nook and corner shall have been heard from, or made wise upon a matter so vital unto us all. Tonight, Aug. 7th, we are to meet for this very purpose in Columbia County. A large crowd is expected. Pro and con the Conscript Act will be dis cussed. A petition to Congress will be prepared acking Congress for the passage of H. R. 5181, introduced June 25, 1917, by Hon. William E. Mason, of Illinois, and repeal or amend the Conscript Act. Also we are expecting to raise a fund to con test the Act if not amended. The work accomplished will be reported next week. You may publish if you see lit. Remember we are with you in this great work, and may every effort put forth by you in behalf of the salvation of our muc’h beloved country be crowned with lasting suc cess. Oh! may God help us to as sert our rights in his own appointed way and surely we will win, but if by chance we should fail here, we have the divine assurance we will win in that last day, when the angel of the I ord shall place one foot upon the land and upon the sea, declaring time shall be no more. Yours for the right. ORION C. 11. o WANT A MACON MEETING.

Gas would form on my stomach and swell me so I couldn’t button my clothes, my head ached like it would pop open and I would get so dizzy and blind I would nearly drop. I would have awful smothering spells and almost choke to death. -4 • “I sure am a different man nuvV, since I took Tanlac I can just eat anything I want and never have a bit of trouble with it, I have gained ~ fifteen pounds in weight and my strength has come back until I can do as big a day’s work as I ever could.
