The OBJ. j. Must
Refuse Students


Owing to the fact that every seat is
taken we must refuse students as we
did last year. We have plenty Of room
but are short of desks. We just had
twenty tables finished by the Oelwein
Planning Mill but as sixty-one students
entered this last month, bringing our
total enrolment to one hundred and
sixty, they are all in use.
We expect to order more tables and
then arrange to make our gymnasium
over into school room SO we will have
plenty Of room by January 9Th, the
opening of our Mid-winter term.

She Had Many Suitors.

Napoleon Ill, when he was living In
London; the Duke d'Aumale, Lord
Beaconsfield and many other cOnspic-
uous figures of the nineteenth century
are on record as having been among
the suitors for the hand of Miss Bur
dett-Coutts, who afterward became
baroness, and it is doubtful whether
any woman eve received so large a
number Of matrimonial offers as the
baroness. In fact, they became a posi-
tive nuisance, and in 1S47 she vas
compelled to bring legal proceedings
against a lawyer of the name Of Rich
ard Dunn, who, according to the
terms Of the indictment, had for eight
years prosecuted her with most unwel,
come attentions with a view to matri-
mony. Dunn was sent TO prison for
eighteen months, although there Is no
doubt that he was, while sane in other
matters, perfectly crazy on the subject
Of Miss Burdett-C outts, as she was
then, and particularly on the subject of
her fortune.-Chicago Tribune.

the poorest white man in the country.
 When the government received the commissioners report there was an instant acquiesence. The story of the noble red man who wanted the privi- leces of British citizenship, and who would accept no other reward spread like wildfire. The newspapers ot the whole country told the story; women cried when they read it; people wrote letters Go Skookum Jim, and more than one parcel containing presents express i've of the admiration and good will of the patriots who admired the Indians request, went North in the Yukon mail. A bill was hastily introduced into Parliament and unanimously passed giving Jim all privileges of citizenship, and copy was sent to him along with a certificate telling the world that Can ada had one Indian equal to his white brethren.
 Jim got his certificate: Five minutes afterward he was on his way to the nearest saloon. Twenty minutes after he was mellow; ten minutes after that he was offering to fight seven men at once with his hands tied behind his back; fifteen minutes later he was weeping bitterly because the small log cabin stock of whiskey had been eX- hausted and he couldn't get any more till the following day. That night about window smashing time, the town of Caribou Crossing resounded to wild cries of alarm, choruses of yelps and hoots. Jim had been generous and be- fore the supply of wet goods had been exhausted he had purchased dozen bottles and carried them to the Indian encampment. His brothers, one and all partook and the noise of the town that night was more terrible than an army with banners.
 Jim was arrested, fined, let go, and on his way from the police court to his cabin he did it all over again. He was fined again. This time the people of the neighborhood were beginning to understand his anxiety to be made a British citizen,
 Jim is still living at Caribou Cross ing. He is the envy and the darling of his tribe and all other Indians. For what other red skin in all America could walk into a saloon like a real gentleman and buy and drink his whiskey without any fear of the police, But Jim is not made to stand the heady beverage he loves, and the result ore of the these days will be dead Indian. But should Jim live, and should he behave himself he will be present at the laska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle in 1909,

AN OLD GREENBACKER
WRITES.

Mr.. Watson:
p I left the Democratic fold in 1876
to join the old Greenbackers, under
the leadership of Peter Cooper. I
have never seen the day that l wished
to retrace my steps politically and
place myself back in the Democratic
ranks. l have never yet read either
q Democratic or Republican platform
that it did not seem to me that every
utterance it made in advocacy of the
rights of the laboring people as
against the policy of plutocracy was
made in a half hearted, half COM
promising spirit.
I believe there can be no such thing
as financial independence Of the
masses, nothing better than perpetual
serfdcm to money lending class until
the old Populist theory Of govern
ment loans to the people on staple
products is an accomplished fact to.
enable producers to hold their crops
until they are in actual demand for
consumption.

to all the little banks to advance no
more money on cotton. They prefer
that the $170,OOO,0O0 of the people IS
money, turned over to them by Ted

idle in their vaults, rather than it
should be used to help the farmers
hold their cotton for living price.

their own benevolent (?) purposes.

Dear Sir: In the Joint debate now
going on in the second congressional
district between Congressman Griggs
and Hon. S. A. Roddenbury, the lat
ter has charged against the congress
mans record his vote for the South
ern Railway mail subsidy. The con-
gresham says he voted for the $147,-
600 mail subsidy in order that the
farmers might get their mail from the
North and East twelve hours sooner,
but owing to some irregularity the
schedule was discontinued. The writer
remembers that you had something to
say on this subject some time in the
past, but does not remember your po-
sition. Is there anything to it, more
than political babble? Doesn't the gov
ernment pay all the railroads for car
rying the mail7 What has been the
attitude of the Democratic party as
to bounties and subsidies in recent
yearsH As you are up. to-date on all
issues, it will be Of interest to your
readers to make an exhaustive expla-
nation Of the whole subject in your

Hon. Thos. E. Watson.
Dear Sir: [ feel that I must
thank you for the great pleasure I
have derived from reading your
Napoleon" which I have just COM
pleted.
1t is the most graphic, impressive,
interesting and instructive Of the five
lives of that great man that I have
read.
While Napoleon was not a good
man in all respects, according to our
standards, you clearly show that his
works benefited and uplifted man
kind. 1t makes the blood boil to read
how he was bounded to his death by
the Allies, especially England. The
tragedy which overlook him and his
nation was only surpassed i'll pathos
by that which overlook the South
when it was devastated, decimated,
and forced to re-enter Union from
which it had withdrawn because it
proved detrimental to its happiness.

journal for few words to the Geor-
gia PopuGsts.
When | say Populist, mean every
one who believes in pure Jelfersonian
democracy, for every cne who believes
in democracy from principle is a
Populist, and every Pcpulist is a JEFF
fersonian.
Now, knowing that this great body
of independent thinkers and patriots
make up a very vast majority in this
country, I wish to urge the great i'm
portance of thorough understand
ing and a complete organization Of
this element.
To this end, [ would suggest an
early meeting to devise plans of or
ganization work. It seems to me that
the most economical, cohesive, har-
monious and lasting plan would be to
put one or more organizers in each
county, with our platform Of prin-
ciples briefly stated, so as to be in
harmony with our previous deciara>
tions; with either enrolment Or in
dex cards for enrolment and fling.
Let these organizers enroll every
believer in these principles, and every
name be turned in for record when
as much as ten cents accompanies
each name.
These organizers could also take
subscription for our reform papers on
commission. and thus a. complete
mailing list and a perfect organiza-
ton can be secured on self-sustain-
ing basis.
T would be pleased, Mr.. Watson, to
hear from you and other true reform
ers on this line. It seems to me the
time to act is now. We can not af-
ford to sit idly by and see millions
and tens cf millions Of the hard
earned taxes of the people poured
into Wall street banks, owned by ex-
change brokers. for the use of these
gamblers to depress us with. Neither
can we afford to sit still and let the
old party politician continue to rule
us with an iron hand till our iber-
ties are completely destroyed.
The great rank and file of the COM
mon people are desperately anxious
that some definite plan of action be
taken to free us from the old party
politician who is owned, body and
soul, by the trusts, and whose stand
ard Of democracy consists in stick
ing to his cid party. Let it stand for
"anything, everything or nothing" "
Let each one read Chairman Fer
ris' call, and let Georgia be represent
ed.
