"THE DAMNED FARMER. ;"

Up in Minnesota there is a Con-
gressman named McCleary. Nc
Cleary has been for some time
rather conspicuous figure in the high
tariff group in the House of Repre-
sentatives-like Lacey, of Iowa, a
stand-patter from Standpatters-
Vile" Like Lacey, he was a candi-
date to succeed himself; and, also
like Lacey, he went down to defeat.
But then he was not content to
live up to his theory and "let well
enough alone.' He felt impelled to
explain how it happened. His ex-
planation carried a charming candor.
The damned farmer did it," he
said.
The farmer did to McCleary just
what they did to Lacey and to seve-
raj others of that group, and what
they will doubtless do to- a still
larger number of "standpatters
two years hence, if these do not take
the "hunch" Of events and change
their ways.-Plankington Herald.

The American Federation of La
Dor, which recently caused consider
able discussion because Of its pro-
tests against the methods used by the
state of South Carolina in securing
foreign emigrants, has been given a
timely lesson by Secretary Straus, of
the department of Commerce and
Labor. Secretary Straus has decided
that South Carolina and the individ-
uals who contributed to pay the pas
sage of emigrants to that state to
work on the farms and to fill the
vacant places in the mills did not
violate the alien contract labor law,
and that the methods used to secure
the emigrants were both proper and
legal There has been considerable
uneasiness in the south regarding
this decision, for the need of more
laborers is so pressing that we must
go to foreign countries to secure
help, and now that all obstacles have

A RIGHT TO GROW CHEsTY.

Farmers settled this country.
Farmers fought the battles of the
revolution. Most Of the founders
Of this government were farmers.
the tillers Of the soil were strong
ly in evidence on the battlefelds
from go to '64. Strong hands, clear
heads, honest hearts-the best pro-
duct of the farm-are more needed
in public affairs today than ever
You may call him a rube or hay
seed, but the farmer is nevertheless
the biggest man in the country. He
could buy all the national banks, pay
the national debt, purchase both the
steel combine and Standard Oil trust
and put Wall street out of business,
out Of the products of his own hon
est toll. and still have a half billion
dollars left for pocket change. To
sum it up in, a sentence, the farmer,
by whatever nickname he may be
called, is the most important class
in the United States and has a right
to grow chesty at the showing he
makes.-Beaver (Pa.) Commoner

South and the Negro.


hour and half by a brief reference
to the negro question in general. say
ing it had existed from the early his
tory Of the country down to the
present time, and still continued to
be the most important and the most
dangerous question which confronts
the American people. Today, he
said, the condition Of the black race
with its ages of slavery, its igno-
rance and poverty, excited the deep
est sympathy of the great body of
the white people of the south.
"But," he continued, Sin spite
of the past, with its conflicts and
sacrifices, sorrows and destruction of
life and property, this problem is
still the greatest with which we have
to deal. It involves labor, education,
suffrage, social order, civil liberty,
government and the integrity Of
the. white race The end no man can
see. Southerners feel deeply and
profoundly on this race problem and
its ultimate solution. Closing their
eyes and looking down the ages,
different vistos arise; sometimes
the black race is deported, sometimes
the races live together, as now, in
perfect peace, one subordinate to the
other; sometimes they turn with un~
speakable aversion to a blended, cor
rupted and inferior race; sometimes
there is war between the races
which may God avert-bloody,
vengeful war, war which seeks and
can only end in the survival of the
fttest In the midst of such awful
possibilities human prophecies are
idle, but any man or party who
would create false hopes in these
people deserves no place in the conf
dence of the American people.
"Speaking in part of the people
Of Texas-and plainness Of speech
is best-it is not improper to sa.
that they have dealt fairly and gen
erously with the uegro in all esser
tials; in education, in charity, i
helpful sympathy and in the protet
tion of life. liberty and property
But I would not be candid with you
if I did not say that in other respects
their purposes are equally resolute
and unalterable. They are opposed
to political domination by the igno-
rant or vicious; they are opposed to
social equality with the negro; they
are opposed to every tendency which
will ultimately be destructive to the
purity and integrity of the white
race And above all these, however
vital they may be, there is that in
the testimony in this ease and which
to degree underlies this trouble,
which impels me to declare even in
this great chamber that they purpose
to protect even with their lives what
in their womankind is the immediate
jewel of their souls.''

GREETINGS From State Organ
izeY 7. L. Lee.

barnesv1lle, Ga., Dec. 70, 1906.
Editor Weekly Jeffersonian
Having noticed that you were
about to make some changes in your
great weekly and one of these a de-
partment for the Farmers Union, I
write you in advance congratulating
you for coming to our aid.
This is not needful though, for, af-
ter a careful review of your life's
work it has always been devoted to
the interest of the common people.
Yet in this great struggle for uplift-
ing the farmers socially, financially
and educationally, I desire to thank
you in advance for your influence.
After having travelled over this
state and after conversing with
thousands of our leading citizens, I
find that ,they believe that, whatever
you champion, you, in your heart,
believe it, for the best interests of
your constituents.
Now comes a great journal, edited
and controlled by one who lies so
close to the farmer, beginning in its
columns to help teach the farmer
lessons of success. Such [ believe
to be true of our order.
[ can state without any fear Of
contradiction that the Farmers
Union stands above every other or
ganization the farmers have had,
and the day has dawned when all
interests must be strengthened and
guided by our organization, and to
all readers Of the Jeffersonian [ ear
nestly request for you to acquaint
yourself with the principles Of our
great order.
| stand ready to give any infor-
nation | can and aid in everything
possible to put before our people
thorough knowledge so that not a
man in Georgia can say he has not
had chance to do his part in this
great reform movement.
Long live the Jeffersonian and
may its influence reach each home
in this beautiful Southland of ours,
and may it's editor be well repaid
by having once more taken up the
fight for the right. Remember, one
and all, when I can serve you COM
mand me.

Not a Race Question.

Senator Foraker at once took the
floor, remarking that it belittled the
present question to make it a vehicle
for discussing the race question. He
did not propose to discuss that ques-
tion or the merits Of the Brownsville
affair. He wanted his resolution
adopted, which would insure further
inquiry and his present purpose was
but to defend himself regarding the
criticism charged against him for
mentioning Capt. Mcdonald. Com
menting on Senator Culberson IS

Negro and the South.

assembled, when the holidays were
over, Senator Culberson, of Texas,
took the floor in defense of the
Presidents action in discharging
three companies Of the negro regi-
ment which participated in the
shooting up" Of Brownsville, and
incidentally in defense Of the people
of Texas. He said that on the day
before the trouble at Brownsville a
criminal assault had been made by
a negro soldier on a respectable white
woman of the community and no ar
rest had been made.
In defending President Roosevelt
for his dismissal Of the troops, Mr..
Culberson said that the fact that the
troops were negroes had had nothing
to do with their discharge. Confu-
sion as to the legal questions involv-
ed was, he said, responsible for the
statement that the president had no
authority to make the discharge.
The presidents constitutional au-
thority and the authority given him
by the >articles Of war clearly cover
ed the ease and made his action legal
he declared. He contended that dis
charges for criminal offenses are
covered in the articles of war. as
are also discharges made to effect
punishment.
Motive for Crime.
To establish the motive actuating
the negro soldiers in creating the al
legged disturbances, Mr.. Culberson
read resolutions recently adopted by
negro citizens of Boston which ad-
mitted that the soldiers "shot up
the town." and said they "were de-
termined to do for themselves what
the uniform of their country would
not do-protect them from insults
and punish at the same time the au-
thors of their misery"
Disclaiming any partisanship for
the president, Mr.. Culberson created
a wave Of merriment by saying:
"I have nothing to-do with the
president in this matter. F care
nothing about him. My personal
relations with him are about as cor
dial as those of the Senator from
Ohio (Mr. Foraker) !"
In all fairness, Mr.. Culberson
said, the country ought to know that
the report made to the president was
reliable. He read much Of the evi
dence in this report to sustain his
contention that the soldiers and not
civilians had been responsible for
the shooting, remarking that Sena-
tors might go to their luncheon If
they did not want to hear it.
Mr.. Culberson said that there was
a distinction between a "discharge
without honor" and dishonorable
discharge. In the former instance,
while dishonorable discharge could
only be made as the result of court
martial. He instanced several cases
to sustain his position.
