PREFACE.

When it was found impossible to suppress my writings by attempts
to bribe me, men were hired to poison me. After the failure of
this plot to dispose of me, I was subjected to almost unbelievable
insults, persecution, humiliation and injustice in the courts.

A friendly federal judge was besought to stop me by an injunction.
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals set it aside.

Four futile attempts were made to influence the Post Office
authorities to deny me the use of the mails.

I was twice presented with the alternative of either agreeing to
stop the publication of the truth or being thrown into jail on
"framed" libel charges. I chose the jail rather than renounce the
right of the freedom of the press guaranteed me by the constitution
