accommodate the local freight to say
nothing of the large amount of through
freight that congested it. He then
spoke of the necessity Mt present OF
using the main track for switching pur'
poses and cited instances of how this
practice had delayed passenger trains
Mr.. Mcllen thought that more tracks
ought to be built ON "the farm, So
called, below the roundhouse for the
purpose of accommodating the through
freight. He said that man Of whom
he bought goods had been refused a car
at Bellows Falls because the officials
said they were not accepting freight
for Brattleboro. In closing, Mr.. Mel
len strongly urged the need of orga'
nized action on the part Of Brattleboro
shippers. Dcnnison Cowles of the firm
of Robbins 4 COwlcs seconded all that
Mr.. Mellen had said.
George w. Pierce then made mo.
ton that a committee consisting of
Messrs. Roberts, Cowles and Fox be
appointed to collect data and prepare
il for presentation TO the state rail
road commission. O. J. Pratt seconded
the motion. Mr.. Mellen said he firm
" believed in having the matter taken
up by the board of trade because what
ever it accomplished now would aid II
in securing things in the future.
NJ. Austin, jr,, thought it might be
well TO take the matter up with the
railroad company once more before ap
plying to the railroad commission, sug.
gcsting that if Il hearing were neces.
sary the fight be made on the need Of
more trackage rather than on the lack
of motive power and rolling stock.
Mr. Pierce said he felt some strong
action ought to be taken by the meet
ing but on Mr.. Austin's suggestion
would amend his motion by authorizing
the special committee to take the mat.
ter up with the railroad commission If
necessary.
After further remarks by II. P
Wellman, L. Z. Holden, C. A. Boyden
W. II. Vinton. D. Cowles and g. l.
Durham Mr. Pierce's motion was ear
ricd unanimously and adjournment was
taken.

OIL TRUSTS SPY PLAN.
Kellogg Reveals How Standard Keeps
 Tabs on Rivals.

New York, Oct 15.-While hunting for some solution of the unexplained loans aggregating many million dol. lars, made by two of the Standard OH, company's subsidiary concerns, Frank B. Kellogg, the governments counsel in its suit against the Standard, uI1]S expectedly uncovered department of9 which little had been known.
 This department Is known as thes statistical department and includes one of the most perfect systems of espions age in the world. Through 1t the Standard oil company has for years kept record of every can, barrel OF tank ear load which has been taken from the oil fields by competitors and has traced the oil to market, learning each charge incurred and the final sellS ing price.
 In perfecting this spy service, Mrs Kellogg learned, the railroads furnishS ed valuable aid to the Standard and, in fact, have made possible the successful outcome of rate wars for the Stand- ard oil Company of New Jersey and it's many subconcerns. Most of this developed yesterday during the taking of testimony In the governments suit before Examiner Ferriss in the Fed eral building,

TRAIN HITS AUTO, FOUR DEAD
Fifth Victim Dying as Result of Crash
 at Railroad Crossing.


 Pottstown, Pa., Oct. 15.-As the res suit of grade crossing automobile acs cident on the Philadelphia and Reads ing railway at Keim street here four persons were killed and one fatally ina jured. The automobile, which was run down on the crossing by Pottsvllle express, contained a party of five per- sons from Kimberton, Chester county, Pa. The dead are:
 Jacob Reese, fifty-five years old; Mrs. Jacob Reese, forty-eight years; Mrs. Anthony W. Emery, Jr., forty-two years, and Belva Emery, one year, child of Mrs. Emery.
 Anthony W. Emery, IT,, owner and driver of the automobile, was the only one of the party to escape death, and his thigh was broken and he received internal injuries in the accident. They were on their way home from a shop ping tour in this city when the acc1- dent occurred. The crossing where the automobile was struck is reached after a sharp curve. A hedge and clump or trees, together with couple of build- | ings, partly obscure the crossing until within a short distance of it's approach, and it is probable Emery did not know a train was due, for he drove the ma- chine directly on the tracks in front Of the express.

interest of his candidacy for the Senate.
Naturally, he now reminds himself that, dur
ing his long career as Representative in Con-
gress, he has been one Of the most toil-worn
friends that the people have ever had Stim-
ulatlng his creative faculty by reflections con-
cerning the things which he could and should
have done for his constituents he has appropri
ated to his own use the achievements of other
and more faithful Congressmen-achiev
with which John Sharp Williams had nothing
more TO do than he had with the original

Hob Long Shall We Submit?


are. The Yankee is naturally keener in bus
mess than the easy-going, unsuspicious man
of the South From the very first meeting OF
Congress down to the last the long-headed
New Englander has been on deck, running the
governmental machine for the filling of his
pocket. fI~I
With enormous national bounties and pre-
miums paid to the Yankee manufacturers,
bleak New England was made rich at the ex-
pense of the South and the West. The Tariff
confscates what the agricultural producer
makes To the extent of countless millions OF
dollars, this tribute has been collected from
the consumer and handed over to the Yankee
manufacturer They called the system Pro-
lection, which sounds better than Legalized
Robbery, but is not so accurate term.
Very soon the keen-eyed Yankee saw the
possibilities of the Railroad. Freight and Pas
senger rates are just so many taxes. Those
who have the power to levy these taxes have
tremendous advantage over those who must
pay them If these freight rates and passenger
rates are fixed upon the greedy, tyrannical
principle of call that the traffic will bear" then
you can see at once that those who have the
power to levy those taxes can conhscate with
out mercy the portable property Of those who
must pay.
The Yankees saw this before we did The
people of the South and West slept over their
rights. They put up the contributions of land,
cash. privileges, exemptions and powers which
created the railroads. and then allowed the
Yankees to make off with the property. Ever
since the cruel Civil War closed, the Yankees
have been confscating Southern and Western
property to the limit of "all that the traffic will
bear"
lust how many thousands of millions of dol
lars have been squeezed out of the Victims and
appropriated by the North can't be estimated
We gather some faint conception of the colos-
sal proportions of the robbery when we recall
that the railroads are carrying at least six thou
sand million dollars of watered stock. Some
authorities say $1,000, 100000!
At last the victims of this almost incredi-
bic rapacty are beginning to rebel The situ-
alton is more CALLING than flesh and blood can
bear.
The states of the South and West are inter
posing to protect their citizens from the ra-
pacity of the Northern corporations. Southern
and Western Legislatures are rousing them
selves to resist the con6scatory Yankees.
But what do we see? The Northern Cor
porations, working through venal lawyers,
Judges and Congressman, are arrogating to
themselves the right to nullify state laws.
Think of the impudence of these plundering
corporations Unfolding up sovereign states
Of the South and West! Think of the inso-
lence of these Yankees that come down here
to fight our laws!
Think of the into1erable humiliation to the
states of being halted with piece of paper,
when they seek to exercise the sovereign power
and duty of protecting the citizen from having

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-06-27

Democratic Party the credit for the present
Rural Free Delivery of Mail, because it was
put into successful operation by William L.
Wilson, the Democratic Postmaster General.
When he was making that speech John Sharp
was under the disagreeable necessity of pay
ing some attention to the faets. Glaring mis-
statements, made in the hearing of Congress
men familiar with the record, would have call
ed down upon his own head exposure and dis
credit
Therefore, when he made that speech in
Congress, John Sharp advanced no claims for
himself as father of the R. F. D. system Talk
ing in the hearing of colleagues who would
have bounced him had he prevaricated, he was
forced to admit that Mr. Watson of Georgia
had secured, Feb. II, ISo3 the first appropria-
ton that this Government ever made for the
free delivery of mails to people living outside
of towns, cities and villages.
Nor did he dare to say then, in that presence
that my amendment to the P. 0. Appropriation
bill was in any way defective He did not
dare to say that the language used in my
amendment left it optional with the Govern
ment to use the money or not as it saw fit.
Such an allegation, then and there made,
would have been answered and refuted by
production of the record, where my amendment
stands in the most positive, mandatory form of
Legislative will.
The words are, ''the sum of $4,000 SHALL
BE applied under the direction of the Post
master-general to experimental free delivery in
rural communities OTHER THAN TOWNS
AND VILLAGES"
How much stronger could I have written
1t? Inc so-called r. F. d. Of John Wanamak-
er was confined to incorporated towns, and the
purpose OF my amendment was to extend the
benefit to people who lived in the country
And my words were, "Shall be-" There was
nothing optional about it,
President Cleveland simply refused to obey
the law.
Then Congress repeated the appropriation
twice more, in the same language, and at
length the administration obeyed the law W.
1t would seem from letter published in an
other place in this weeks Jeffersonian that
John Sharp, talking for votes and to people
who cannot be supposed to know the facts,
has been fabricating the facts upon which he
is erecting his claim for credit
Watson's law was not written right; there
fore Watson's law amounted to nothing. The
world had to wait until John Sharp got hold
of the matter; then the law was written right.
and the people got Rural Free Delivery of
Mail
According to my correspondent, that is the
way in which John Sharp is stating the case to
audiences in the interior Of Mississippi. where
he thinks he is in no danger of Contradiction.
Such a statement is false, and no man knows
it better than the man who is alleged to be
making it. To get votes upon such plea is to
obtain goods under false pretenses
And make this predicton-Mr. Tohn
Sharp Williams will not dare to repeat
those statements on the floor of Congress
