wrong prong of the road.
In brief, the Guide took the part of the Rail
roads, against Governor Conner and the people.

no more than they had the right to do in re-
sorting to the Federal Courts

the world for you to have turn at shufling

cards, and how to deal the same. Take such
hand as you may get, and be thankful that
you aint dead"
To get their rights, the farmers must have
a change made in the laws. And this requires
a change in the lawmakers. And lawmakers
are made with ballots

Livingston and Peek

The papers report a spat between Col. w. L.
Peek and Lon Livingston at a Farmers Union
meeting in Newton county,.
I wonder that Livingston should have the
cheek to show his face at Farmers Union
meeting.
This disreputable old 1ibertine, whose no.
torious lack of morals makes his private life
public scandal ought to be ashamed to show
himself in any gathering of respectable men.
What has he done for the farmers during his
long congressional career?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
What has he been doing with himself for the
seventeen years that he has been in Congress?
Faithfully serving the Southern Railroad,
and lot of job hunting politicians in Atlanta,
He has had seventeen years of opportunity
to do something for the farmers, and the record
shows that he hasn't done blessed thing.
But he has helped to do some mighty good
things for the Southern Railroad
Also, for that Custom House bunch in At
lanta.
COL w. L. Peek is gentleman-clean in
his public and private life-and it is a pity
that our way of CHASING men should be so
imperfect that such a splendid type of the
good citizen as Col. Peek should have to toll
crate, as an equal this disreputable Congress-
man who, in the days of the Marble Lobby,
was contemptuously described by the Atlanta
Constitution as "THE THIRTY DOLLAR
MAN"

NOT Enough Pie to Let the Farmers
ka Habe Any.

From the signs or the IlrneS l. OH WdLSOH
seems to want to lead the Farmers Union into
politics, but just sure as it does then dls1nte-
grafton will set in The Alliance was good or
panization for the farmers and did great
amount of good, but as soon as it turned to pol
itics it went to pieces. 1t will be the same way
with the Union should it go the way OF the
Alliance Coffee County News.
There are so many editorial sages waggng
their wise heads after the manner of our Coffee
County philosopher that it may be in order tor
us 90 into the oracle business awhile.
"The Alliance was good organization" was
it?
We hope our Coffee County brother said so
while the Alliance was alive, and could enjoy
the compliment A good many of those edi-
torial brethren who are now telling us what
good thing the Alliance was, had a good deal
to do with causing the funeral. They pierced
it with ridicue when it was living; they tor
tured it with Misrepresentation they burnt
it with abuse; they gave it many treacher-
Gus stab in the back even when they were
afraid to face it.
Now that the Alliance is dead, they sing its
praises, and throw flowers on the grave.
Very human that is, after all. Perhaps, if we
told our wives oftener how pretty and good
they are, they would stay pretty almost as long
as they stay good But we get into the habit
of saving the flowers for the funeral and,
sometimes, alas we thus hasten the funeral.
Now if our editorial brethren who are plllng
up wreaths on the tomb of the Alliance had
taken as much pains to praise it and help it,
fifteen years ago, perhaps "our brother had
not died"
When Macune and Livingston organized
"Gideons Band" within the Alliance, and the
tail went to wagging the dog; when every
state and county officer of the Alliance broke
into a gallop after political position; when
hundreds of lecturers tried to court favor by
playing on the prejudices of country against
town and of poor against the rich-the edito--
rial sages who now mourn at the bier, should
then have affectionately warned the farmers
against these self-evident mistakes.
Instead of that, many of these editorial phil
osophers joined loudly in the senseless abuse,
ridicule and misapprehension which was heap
ed upon the Alliance and it's principles.
If the members of the Farmers Alliance
killed it by taking an active part in politics,
why is it that the Labor Unions are not dead?
They were here long before the Farmers AL
lance came; and they are here now-stronger
than ever.
These Union men go into politics-every
mothers son of them. Their great leader, Sam
uel Gompers, takes personal part in political
campaigns, making stump speeches, just like
Bryan or Taft or Fairbanks.
Mr.. Gompers will go into the Congressional
District of an Objectionable candidate for Con-
gress and will fight that candidate to finish.
Mr.. Gompers will not only encourage the union
men to be active but tell them it is their duty.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-29

they want
Federations of Labor, as such, do not go into
politics, but the men who belong to them do
IF the Baptist Church went into politics, we
should be of the first to object. The
Church has no business there. But if the
members of the Baptist Church do not take an
active part in politics, they fail to measure up
to the best standard of citizenship.
SO with the other Churches, Methodists
Presbyterians, Catholics, Episcopalians and
Christians should all do their utmost to main
tain good government by their votes
But the Methodist Church does not go into
politics when the Methodists walk to the
polls.
We must draw the distinction between the
man and his organization. The Baptist citizen
must vote, or he neglects his duty; but the
Baptist Church doesn't vote. So with the 9th
erS.
The Farmers Union, profting by the mis-
takes made by the Alliance, declares it's Off
GERS ineligible, if they become candidates for
any political office, and puts in two year
quarantine which makes it impossible for polit-
ical ambition to appropriate the Union.
Now let us come to the gist of the whole
matter:
Those classes that are now plundering the
farmer do not want him to bother them while
they are eating the pie.
That is all there is to it.
The Privileged Few do not want their reign
disturbed by an industrial revolt. The ty-
rant wants no insurrection The robber wants
no sheriff interfering with his business.
The master wants nobody to come around
talking freedom to his slave.
lust as our imperial Government, crazy to
initiate Great Britain, made it crime to read
the Declaration of independence to the Filippi-
nos whom we hold in sub jection-so, the ben
efciaries of Special Privilege, in this country,
would like to keep the agricultural masses
from ever getting their rights.
'Ton the Union; build warehouses; establish
weekly papers; pay your dues regularly; make
more cotton corn and wheat for us, if posi-
BILE; learn to be economical paw the preacher
and the tax-collector; work harder, if you can;
roust out your boys little earlier in the morn

grow under her feet, don't watch us too close
when we are shufling the cards; don't look
this way when we put our prices up to cores
pond with IS cents cotton-do all this, and
more besides, and when your years products
have all been sold and your debts paid, you will
probably have enough spare cash to buy and

FATHER AND SON QUARREL
Young Rockefeller and Father Have
Split Over Money Matters.

NORFOLK, Va, May 29.-John D..
Rockefeller walker into the convention
of the Baptists of North America last
week and his presence was not men
toned in any of the local newspapers.
He occupied a seat in the corner,
said the Rev Vernon L'Anson OfGrace
Baptist church in this city today.
He paid strict attention to what was
going on, applauded the speakers and
went out. He spent about two hours
in the convention hall. He is going to
give the foreign mission society con-
siderable sum of money. 1 do not know
how much. That will come out later
Mr. L'Anson also stated that young
John Rockefeller and his father have
had split.
Il was in young Rockefeller's office
in New York short time ago, and l
was told that the son had refused to
have anything to do with handling
some of his fathers tainted money. l
don't know the details.
Il saw young Rockefeller write a
check for 100000 to be distributed
among the poor. He gives away hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to pri-
vate charities that is never mentioned
in the newspapers. He is an ideal
young man and does more for the
poor than any other man in America

THE GIRL IN RED.

Twenty years ago Pierre ROQuet
and his family, consisting Of Nine. Ro-
quet and two sons, reached Colorado
direct from France. AS America was
to be their future home, this family
of pioneers decided it would be wise
to follow the profession Of stock rails
ing on a higher plane than was ever
known in the west. Strange to say. in
this story of foreign adventure into
new lands. the family was compare
lively rich in this worlds goods, and
not of the poor immigrant class so well
known in western history. The sons
were well educated and brought up as
becomes parents of intelligence in the
old world.
Shortly after their arrival a baby
girl appeared on the scene, and joy was
supreme, for now the big brothers had
a little wee pet sister. Marie ROQuet
grew to womanhood in the free open
air of Colorado and under her brothers
tutelage became the foremost horse
woman in the entire west.
Pierre Roquet decided then to visit
the scenes of his early career, and little
Marie begged to see her parents old
homestead in France. At this time M.
Roquet conceived the idea of a convent
education for the beautiful daughter.
But after her free life in her wild
western home, she not only rebelled.
but for ten years was an unknown
quantity in the family history, all the
while keeping her mother and broth
ers informed as to her welfare.
One night after a performance at the
Circus Care, Amsterdam, of THE
Girl in Red" a gray haired old French
man pushed his way through the
throngs to the dressing tent and While
the applause of the multitude resound-
ed in his ears he embraced the most
famous circus rider of the day, ex-
claiming, My little Marie!" Now
known throughout the world as Mann
selle Rouge" this same little Colorado
girl has become celebrated as the
champion premiere equestrienne of the
circus world. After years negotiation
it has finally been contracted for ap-
pearance twice daily the coming sea-
son with the great Sells-FlOto Shows

ances will most readily recognize 1.-The

BRYAN TELLS PRINTERS0F
THE VALUE OF IDEALS

LINCOLN, Neb., May 29.-William j..
Bryan delivered the address at the Lin
coin printers memorial exercises yes
terday. Mr.. Bryan spoke extempora-
neously, dwelling on the value of ideals
and the beauty of fraternity. Referring
to the Typographical union whose
members he praised as class OF
tradesmen of the highest intelligence
he said that in his early life he was OPP
posed to fraterneties, but between the
ages of 200 and 800 his views changed
radically and he saw in the fraternal
spirit the broadest kind Of brotherly
love- Memorial services were praise
worthy, he said, in that, in way, they
removed the pangs of earthly parting
and brought to the participants rea-
lizatiOn of the hereafter.
