Dear Sir: | am constant reader
of your paper and magazine. So
you see [ am a strong believer in the
principles that you advocate. [ wish
to suggest to you to write few ed
itorials ON the common school sys-
TEN of Georgia If something is not
done in short time to improve them
the present generation Of Chi dran
will grow up in ignorance and illit-
eracy, and that will do us more harm
than corporations or anything else.
The legislature will soon be in s s,
sion, and it seems to me that ev-
erything that could be done to in
huence them to improve the sys. EN-
should be done. Hoping that you
will see the wisdom Of writing on
tbs and other gu st ors that wi
come before the legislature, [ re-
main,
AS ever,

TO the Populists of tie United States:
Dear Sirs and Brothers: The
indications are that tie real reform
forces Of the United States can and
will be brought together for united
efforts in the campaign Of 1908. To
the end that a rallying point for re-
formers should be secured, with as
little delay as possible, in a large
number of communities throughout
our country, will issue very soon an
peal to populists generally, to con
tribute as much as $1,000 all together
to be paid by them into the hands Of
Treasurer J. M. Mallett Of the Ma
tional Federation Of Peoples Party
Clubs; the money to be used to pay
the necessary expenses incident to the
appointing, commissioning and in
structing Of a County Committee on
Club organization in and for quite
1000 counties, in each of which I
have succeeded in locating, Identify
ing, and to some extent interesting
some tried and true reformers will
ing and ready to take in hand the
work of securing three to five or
more such clubs in their respective
counties. In all that I have done TO
date and shall try to do in this mat
ter, | have acted and will continue to
act under the authority and. direc-
ton of the late st. Louis Conference,
and as [ am promised the earnest and
active cooperation In my work Of
some Of the best and leading work
ers of our party, [ have full conf
dence in being able to accomplish tie
results suggested. To do so, however,
will cost a preliminary expenditure
of quite $100, and as I have no party
funds in my hands, I now call on
you to contribute what you shall feel
willing and able to give Send me
25 cents, SO cents or ST, with as lit
tie delay as possible, and I promise
you that every cent I shall receive
shall be used by me in the prelimi-
nary work necessary, on the lines sug-
gested. Printing must be done, post
age stamps must be purchased, ard
some clerical help will be necessary
and will have to be paid for, but
believe $100 is all that will be needed
by me to start the work under cond;-
