New York City, and acknowledged
by the New York press-the outlook
is very encouraging for future victo
ries.
Arthur Brisbane, one Of the most
brilliant writer's Of the country, said
in an interview for the New York
World in 1906: "Hearst is going
to succeed because sincerity and in
telligence combined do not fail in
the long run. And those who support
him now in the beginning Of his po-
litical career will be pioneers in a
movement for genuine conservative
popular government, free from the
dangerous experiments Of irresponsi-
BILE theorists and free from the vicious
scheming Of selfish monopolists.
Hearst stands for Americanism in
government. And Americanism is not
yet failure, despite the efforts of
anarchy at the top and at the bot
tom Of society to make it fail"
GA word to the wise" should be
sufficient to cause the Populists and
all earnest members Of true Jeffer-
sonian Democracy, throughout the
land, to pause and reflect before TAX
ing decided and final action for the
next campaign in 1908.

ADVICE, WHICH YOU MAY
CONSIDER.

Everybody that is not getting Wat
sons Jefersonian Magazine, Of At
lanta, Ca, is missing the very cream
Of current journalism. tEBest in the
South" is too small and provincial
category; whatever Tom Watson
writes goes right up into the best
anywhere class. 1t is true he has
views. Almost anybody is subject to
this limitation at times. But he can It
help it-and he does express them 50
well. The liveliness Of a Watson
paragraph is certainly not excelled,
if, indeed, it is equalled by anybody
else's we happen to know of-not
even by Golfers.
And these few remarks, by the
way, are not intended as an ad. for
Watson's, but merely as a good tuln
to our readers. If they will read
few numbers of the Watson s Jeffer-
sonian, Of France, or his Life Of
Thomas Jefferson, or almost anything
else he has written, and then not
heartily agree with US and be much
obliged for the tip, we will cheerful
ly refund this entire paragraph. If
a man has time to read only so much
he ought to take his home paper,

rest go.-Louisiana School Review.
