THAT $5,ooo,ooo "coNsPIRAcY."

(The New York Evening Post.)
Now this, we venture to say, is a
sort of political paranoia. When a
private person imagines that the world
has conspired against him, that men
are dogging his footsteps, lurking in
corners, and scheming to undo him,
the alienists have no trouble in dag
nosing his case. When an official suf-
fers from what we may call delusions
of persecution, he becomes politically
unbalanced, unable to pass judgment
on the motives and aspirations of men
in the mass, to trace causes and ef-
fects through the vast complex of our
organism, to distinguish new forces
from old.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
VARIETIES OF THE LIAR.
(The Providence Journal.)


According to a list prepared by the
Albany Argus some months ago, the
President has called Mr.. Herbert w.
Bowen a "disingeneous" liar, Mr..
William E. Chandler, a deliberate
and unqualified liar, Mr.. Alton B.
Parker an "atrocious" liar, Mr.. G. o.
Shields an inventive" liar, Mr.. Bella
my Storer a peculiarly perfdious"
liar, Mr.. John F. Wallace an utter"
liar and Mr.. Henry M. Whitney "de-
liberate" liar. If this catalogue be
correct, if the President really did
apply such epithets to the persons
in question, Mr.. Hartman may not feel
any excessive dissatisfaction at be-
ing charged with deliberate and will
fur' untruth. The President and he
simply disagree as to the facts in the
case. One retains one impression of
the reputed episode, the other a con-
trary impression.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
Mr.. BRYAN STRENUOUS, TOO.

(The Springfield Republican,
1t should not be overlooked that Mr.
Bryan was as strenuous in his pro-
gram of Tuesday night as the WELD
er of the big stick could have been.
To attend a banquet, partake of it's
earlier courses, hurry away, and de-
liver a lecture, hurry back again and
make the speech of the evening-this
would appeal even to the strenuous
President as "going some"

ORIENT BOUND COTTON.
(The Florida Times-UnionO }

(The Florida Times Union.)
1t is charged that freight rates on
cotton to the Pacific coast and to
Asiatic ports were unfair, and that
the cotton was burdened with all it
could bear. If there was discrimina-
ton against a southern product it is
well to test the law and we are glad
to see the question raised at all events.
The southern states combined should
have tested the constitutionality of
the attorney generals ruling against
state immigration by an appeal to the
supreme court-no right should be
held at the pleasure of the president"
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
SILENCE ON THE TARIFF.

(The Louisville Courier-Journal)
The President is silent as to his rail
road policy, according to a Washing
ton dispatch. The President has de-
veloped magnificent ability for re-
naming silent upon a given subject
by exercising upon the tariff ques.
tion for the last year or two.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
ONE POINT IN COMMON.

(The New York Evening Post.)
The subsidy bill which failed at the
late session of Congress had, accord
ing to the President, nothing what
ever in common with certain previous
measures of the same name" Moth
ing, that. is, except the fact that it
would have applied public money to
the support of private business.

THE TROUBLE WITH BRYAN.
(The Bristol, Va, Courier.)

(The Bristol, Va, Courier.)
1t seems that about the only differ
ence between Col. Bryan and Col.
Roosevelt on the question of govern
ment ownership of railroads is that
the Nebraskan beat the President to
1t-so far as they have gone. That
is the chief trouble with Bryan-he
keeps too far ahead of the plodding
procession.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
Public Opinion Throughout the Union
SOCIALISM AND THE SOUTH.
(The Savannah News J

It is a fact worthy of note that the
propaganda of socialism finds little
encouragement in the Southern States
and most encouragement in New Eng
land and the Northwest, where Repub-
licanism is strongest. In the list of
States abandoned" for the present
by the leaders of the socialist move
ment were the names Of practically all
of the Southern States, the exceptions
being Kentucky and Texas.

LIMIT NOW OFF.
(The Chattanooga Times. }

(The Chattanooga Times.)
About the brightest thing yet said
of Democracy was by Tammany
man who called on Roosevelt last
week and went away declaring: Hes
all right. He's about as good a Dem
ocrat as there isl" Since which the
limit is off, and the disorganization
whose symbol and sign is the sad and
solemn ass can stand any and ev-
erything.

A THOUGHT FROM KENTUCKY.

(The Louisville Oourier-Journal)
Says the Baltimore Sun:
Mill melius nihil homine libero dig
MUS guam agriculture.
Without venturing to contradict the
statement, it may be said that a ma
jority Of those who are able to express
themselves so beautifully would go to
jail rather than pluck the worms
from the acre of tobacco.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
A FINE POINT OF LAW.
(The Florida Times-Union)

IIn0 FIUTIud IIMGS-U UuIUuJ
Secretary Bonaparte admits that
State may pay the passage OF immi-
grants with it's own funds, "but not
with the funds contributed" Now if
the contributors give the money to the
State for this purpose, does not that
money become the property of the
State as much as if it had been ap-
propriated by the legislature from the
treasury? A different view must hold
that the money contributed to the cam
paign fund remained the property of
the insurance associations.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
PUBLICITY THE REMEDY.
(The New York Times.)

Obviously Mr.. Roosevelt would not
have considered the obtaining of the
Hartman contribution nor would it
willingly have been made had it been
certain that the names of all subscrib-
ers, with the amount of their sub
scriptions, would be made public and
that vouchers would have to be sub
mitted for every expenditure from
these funds.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
THE WICKED PARTNER.
(The New York World.)

Edward H. Hartman represents
what is worst in American finance and
in American politics. He typifies both
financial corruption and political cor
ruption. He is a public menace, a
public enemy. His power must be de-
stroyed

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES.
(The New York Globe.)

81 am Democrat, although tempo
rarily out of reasons therefor" said
Private John Allen at one Of the re-
current periods of Democratic gloom.
In somewhat the same spirit Col
Watterson, home again, says he sees
a chance of Democratic success next
year, provided there is cholera in the
Philippines, yellow fever in Cuba,
wheat should sell for 40 cents and
corn for 80 cents, and the Republican
party should split wide open.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
ONLY AN ACADEMIC QUESTION.

(The Cleveland Leader.)
There are Southern editors who find
it interesting to ask one another
whether Northern Democrats would
bolt Southern man if he were nom
mated for president. 1t will be only
an academic question for some time to
come.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-05-02
TEDDY AHEAD ONE TIME!

(The Washington Herald.)
The only surprising thing about Mr..
Roosevelt's suggestion that the gov
ernment ought to pay election ex-
penses is that Mr. Bryan didn't think
Of it first.

On one OF the interleayes of hec BIZ
BILE she drew UP a scheme. She fixed
the time at which to rise: the hours
for study: those for needlework; end
those for prayer. The body must be
attended 10 as well as the mind,
she reflected; and she set herself
a number of strenuous physical eN-
ercises-she had always been in the
habit Of practicing ,hese-so that when
the hour OF her delivery arrived size
would not fail. as on the preceding
night, from want of strength,
She was occupied with this when
Mrs. Tlsley brought in her dinner. 1t
was a very simple meal. But there
was plenty to eat. and ii was appar-
ent that there was no intention to
starve her into submission. She ate it
very leisurely. and when the plates
We're removed. Olive told the woman
of her further wishes in regard to
the provision OF some needlework.
After the meal, true to her plan
of getting exercise, she first walked
from corner to corner Of the small
room a given number of times, and
then standing on a chair close to
the open window, she pratticed some
deep-breathing exercises The fine
moorland air refreshed her greatly,
and then she applied herself to her BIZ
BILE again and now selected the Book
of Job to be committed 10 memory.
With her tea, the woman brought
the needlework and a supply of needles
and cotton, and said that the other
books she had asked for would be
provided as soon as possible.
Until the waning light of the even
ing made reading impossible, Olive
took her recreation, and began Rob

cinated her, and the story of the cast
away's elf-resourcefulneS and the de-
vices with which he fought against
his awful solitude appealed to her so

plight that she put the book away
