Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-24

CONSIDERED almost anarchlSt1c by
many had already been made popular
by Republican leaders, such as the
president and Senator LaFollette.
"We fnd," said he, "our demands
for the postal savings bank, the right
of labor to organize, the abolition of
child labor, and sweat shops, our de-
mand for public ownership of the rail
roads, telegraph and telephones, the
eight hour work day, direct vote for
United States senators, and the initia-
tive and referendum now being ad-
vocated by all political parties. These
measures are as popular with the pub
lie as they are with the Populists.
Then and Now.
"Three years ago we hesitated to
put some of these planks into the
Springfield platform. A noted re-
former Wisconsin was invited re-
Gently to inspect a platform prepared
by the George Fred Williams group
OF Massachusetts. The platform
seemed radical. Yes, it is, said our
Wisconsin friend, but already La
Toilette has put fourteen of your
seventeen planks into the statutes of
Wisconsin
THE great kings of predatory
wealth, the marauders of commerce,
are in court. Reform is now the fash
ion. The stand-patters are in confus-
ion."
MIR. Ferriss, though exulting over
the Roosevelt administration, saws
that neither Roosevelt nor Bryan goes
quite far enough to suit the Populists.
The money question and the Wall
street money combine remain undis-
turbed," he said. "Neither the
Rooseveltians nor the Bryanites ap-
proach close to this issue-do not give
battle to the greatest trust of ALL"
Popularizing the Platform.
Of the alleged popularizing of the
Popuist platform Of three years ago
by the present Republican admins
tratiOn, Mr.. FerTiss said this:
"The scenes have shifted. The
POpuist is now widely esteemed for
lhs loyalty and for his sound political
economy. He is again an honored
member Of the commonwealth. He
has become sanctifed politically. He
has Won position among men, and
his opportunity for work is now
large. 1t is the Populist's greatest
hour In our modest way we must
now press forward to the greater
achievement, left undone by Roose-
velt and Bryan-the overthrow of
Wall street.
Mr.. Ferriss said that the Populists,
while appreciating that President
Roosevelt had done much to popular
ize their platform of three years ago,
could not think of indorsing him as
their candidate next year.
"It might be, however," he said,
"that conditions would so shape them
selves that Roosevelt Republicans,
Bryan Democrats, and all reformers

Cotton Men in Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 18.-A party Of 125
delegates from Europe to the interna-
tional cotton conference, held last
week at Atlanta, Ga, arrived here to-
day from st. Louis. The delegation
visited the stockyards and inspected
some of the large commercial houses.
The party left tonight for Toronto,
Canada.
Two Large Engines Arrive.
Statesboro, Ga., Oct. 20.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-Two Of the largest engines
ever seen in this place arrived yester-
day over the Central Of Georgia Rail-
road. They are to be used on the
Savannah. Augusta and Northern
Railway, which is being built from
this place to Chattanooga, Tenn.
They are 56-ton engines and are of
mogul type, 18 by "a. The capacity
of the tank is $500 gallons, and the
tender will carry eight tons of coal.
Sixty carloads of rails having ar
rived recently from time to time, and
the announcement that these two
large engines had arrived caused con-
siderable enthusiasm, and it was a
common expression to hear one shout
out, cit begins to look like a rail-
road now."
Hundreds of people focked to the
station to see the monster moguls, and
today being Sunday, many idlers went
to view them.
Although sixty carloads of rails
have arrived and the right-of-way and
roadbed have been finished from here
to Garfield, which is thirty miles
from here, the promoters say that it
is impossible to give the exact day
the work of laying the rails will be-
gin.
This will be gala day for States
boro. Preparations are being made to
celebrate the occasion of driving the
first spike with appropriate ceremo-
MES.
The engines which arrived today
are numbered l and 2. No 1 has
the Marie Cecilia on the pilot house.
This being the first engine built for
the Savannah, Augusta and Northern,
it gets the name Marie Cecilia from
the little daughter Of w. FL. Lyon,
OF New York, the prime promoter of
the new road and also president of
the project. No. is not named.

When one finds he is out of SYM
pathy with his town, and can only
say good word for it coupled
with an apology, he ought to get
out. Many people fall into a sort
of unconscious habit. Such peo-
pie make of themselves a dead
weight, while, of course, they i'm
agine themselves particularly in
dependent. The individual has
all he can do to get along under
his own loads, and he wants help
and encouragement from those 60
ing his way, and who are identif-
ed with him in interest. So with
the town. 1t has it's interest to
care for, and it needs all the pluck,
all the energy, all the cooperation
and helpfulness it's citizens can
provide and bring to bear. Every
man is part of his town. The
town embraces the fortunes, and in
some measures at least takes on
the character of the man. So
loyalty to ones town is no more
than loyalty to ones self; and
this LOYALTY is in the line of all
well shaped human nature. There
fore it is right to say that the man
who does not stand up for his
town is in some way dwarfed.
There is something wrong about
him. His fellows will pass this
Judgment upon him, and the
chances are that while he may add
to the discomfort of others he will
not escape making himself un-
happy.

One of our lady readers protests
against the custom of cleaning
house at one certain time. If a
carpet becomes worn and dusty,
she asks, "why may it not be
renovated, be the season June or
january" eff paint is soiled,
and windows cloudy, what is the
unwritten law which leaves them
till particular time for clean
ing?" Why must every bundle
in the storeroom be unrolled, to
see which way the nap runs, as
one disguised masculine declared9
Wien an article is required from
some particular box, why not sort
it's contents then and there in
stead of waiting to add to the choas
of house cleaningi And why,
above all things, select for that
reign of terror the sweet spring
time, when nature is putting on
her robes of glory, and the sun
shine brings a baptism of life.

There are three great rocks
ahead of the practical young man
who has his feet upon the ladder
and is beginning to rise. First,
drunkenness, which of course is
fatal. There is no use wasting
any time on the young who drinks
liquor, no matter how exceptional
his talent. Second, speculation.
The business of a Spectator and
that of a manufacturer or man of
affairs are not only distinct, but
Incompatible. The manufacturer
should go forward steadily, meet
ing the market prices. When
there are goods to sell, sell them
when supplies are needed, pur-
chase them, without regard to the
market price in either case. /
have never known a speculative
manufacturer or business man
who scored a permanent success;
he is rich one day, bankrupt the
next. The third rock is akin to
speculation, endorsing. There
are emergencies, no doubt, in
which men should help their
friends, but there is a rule that
will keep one safe; no man should
place his name on the obligation
of another if he has not sufficient
means to meet it without detriment
to his business.

Senator Tilman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 a lee
ture and he is constantly in demand,
His season is not confined to the sum
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
as at any other time of the year. In
the last four years it is said that he
has laid aside over 100000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter of
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark, OF Missouri, ranks high as
popular fayorite and makes about
twice as much as a lecturer as his con
gressional salary.

A Money Making Farmer.

Mr., G. w, Baker, who owns -four
acres Of land IN the suburb norfr
OF Gaffney, says the Cherokee, Is. c.
News, last year rented two acres from
a neighbor and went to work, and
from these six acres, after supplying
his rather large family bountifully
from his farm, he sold from one and
two-thirds of an acre, $40 bushels of
sweet potatoes for $275. From two
acres of land in cotton he sold sos
worth, and from his snap-bean patch
he sold $85 worth of beans, making a
total of $4l5 In cash received for the
surplus products made on this small
farm. Besides the above, Mr.. Baker
made so bushels of corn and killed
500 pounds of pork, which he grew
at home and fattened with the pro.
ducts Of his farm, During last year
Mr.. Baker worked much away from
home. Among other things, he earned
enough by work to pay for a one-horse
wagon and mule, with which he made
his crop. We had often heard about
Mr.. Bakers crop, and a few days sqo
asked him about it, The above facts
were obtained from him, and no one
who knows him will doubt any state
ment he makes about his work or any
thing else.

Rothschilds Never Prosecute,

While the Bank of England makes
it a point never under any circum,
stances to relinquish the prosecution
of those who have defrauded it in the
slightest degree, being willing, if need
be, to spend thousands of pounds to
capture and prosecute people who
have robbed 1t of even a few shillings,
the Rothschilds make 1t a rule never
to appeal to the courts or to the police
in such matters. OF course, they are,
like every other banker, occasionally
the victims of dishonesty, but neither
the police nor the public ever hear
about the matter. This has always
been a principle of the heads of the
house, who take the ground that 1t is
better to bear the loss in silence than
to disturb popular confidence in the
safety of the concern by allowing it
to be seen that its treasures are not
adequately safeguarded.
