Of the 9O,OOO,OOO acres of fertile
land in the west Of Canada the gov
eminent has allotted 75,280,0O0 and
has only 14,1SO,OOO left. In 1906
the crop acreage of Manitoba, Sas-

on which to base an opinion as to
whether or not the transfer was
proper. The cases will now be tried

THE "PARsoN" coRNERED.

Owing to the fact that some hyper
sensitive persons have accused the
"Parson" of irreverence in trying to
apply common sense to the discussion
of religion, he a about concluded
to quit preaching. However, the fol
lowing letter seems to require some
reply:

ing service. 1 read from Revelation a
description of Heaven Pencils and
paper were distributed and each one
requested to ask some question. They

Twill we know one another in

Can n hell be worse than to
be shut out of heaven?

is an intermediate state?
4.-Does the thief from the cross
appreciate eaven as the man who has
been a Christian all his life?

need is there of a resurrection of the

Answer when the spirit moves you,

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-25

AS to Justice Brewers statement that the
railroads do not make fair return on the mon
ey they have invested what does he mean?
If he means that the people have been per-
suaded to buy common stock which is watered
to the limit and get no fair return on their
money, he is correct, but why did he not go one
step further and tell that the reason the people
who own common stock in the railroads
get no dividends is because almost all of the
Preferred Stock is owned by the Wall street
rascals who prefer to kill people and get big
dividends rather than spend part of their div
idends and make their railroads safe for the
traveller?
If Judge ever overstepped the bounds of
discretion, it seems that Justice Brewer has.
He is Justice of the highest court in our coun-
try, yet he virtually says in advance what he
will decide on any question coming before that
court between the people and the corporations.
The quicker the heads of such men as Tus-
tice Brewer are smashed by the "Big Stick
the better. Mr.. Roosevelt could easily ask the
Justice to resign and fill his place with some
man who could give a fair and impartial de-
cision, and until Our courts are presided over
by men who are not controlled by corpora
tons, we need not expect reform laws to be
enforced, unless President Roosevelt will fol-
low the example of Jefferson, Jackson and Lin
coin and ignore the Supreme Court.

Casual Comment.
ByL d. Watson.


ByL D. Watson
In an address at Milwaukee, Wis Justice
Brewer of the United States Supreme Court
said
There is much said about the railroads. It
IS popular practice to say that they are very
wicked; for instance, like life insurance compa-
nies. There has been great deal of wrong,
such as granting of special favors, bad stock
speculations and like But | say to you
that, taking the earnings and the money invest
ed in railroads as whole, there is not fair
return on the money invested The attempt
to squeeze those who built up the railroads,
and through them the country, is not right. The
men who invested their money are entitled to
a reasonable rate of interest.
Railways May Lose.
"'My friend Folk, of Missouri, has nv admi-
ration in many ways. But suppose, through
such laws as Missouri passed, the railroads
should actually lose money on carrying freight
and passengers. Will the State make the loss
good to them?
Justice Brewer held that the rights of the
railroads should be protected until the law
demonstrates that the roads can be made to net
a reasonable return on the money invested
Discussing land frauds, Justice Brewer de-
clared that much of what is reported as fraud
He cited that the Vanderbilt and other large
estates were handed down as a whole whereas
now scattering of estates is becoming the prac-
tice which was preferable"
The above from a Justice of the United
States Supreme Court only shows more plainly
how that body leans toward the big corpora
tions when it comes to deciding between the
people and the corporations. It proves more
conclusively that the Trusts control our high
est court and that the people have no chance so
long as the Trusts can reach the United States
Supreme Court on question of constitutional
ity or any technicality which their hire1ings
may raise as to any law which affects them
The above dispatch further states that Jus
tice Brewer delivered his address before the
annVal meeting of the agents Of the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance Company, of which
company he is trustee.
A. u. S. Supreme Court Justice trustee of
big life insurance company. What may we
expect next?
Justice Brewer also declares that "much of
what is reported as fraud in Western land deal
ings is not at all wrong"
If my memory serves me right, there have
been manv convictions for land fraud transac-
tions in the West and Justice Brewer knows
this to be true, as he knows there have been
millions of acres of land stolen from the gov
ernment in the West

OF the property itself when net earnings are
made impossible, why has not the property of
these poor, down-trodden Lumber Trust
thieves been conhscated when the vrtuous,
highminded Railroad robbers charge freight
rates which eliminate saw-nill profits?
1t is poor rule that won't work both ways,
We have come to pretty pass, surely, when
that which is sauce for the railroad goose is
not sauce for the Saw-mill gander.
Evidently, these poor, downtrodden Lumber
Trust thieves have been i'll advised Instead
of closing down for month, they should have
got out an injunction against somebody. The
rule, nowadays, is that when you do not know
what else to do, get out an Injunction. After
awhile, Injunctions will be so common and SO
necessary that we shall probably hit upon the
brilliant device Of getting one Federal Judge to
enjoin all the others, and then lock him up in a
dark room, feeding him through the key hole,
to prevent him from reversing himself and let
ting the other fellows loose
The Georgia-Florida Saw Mill Association
can prove, to the satisfaction of any honest
Judge, that the National Tariff System COM
pels them to pay too much for their plant, too
mucn for the iron and steel they use too much
for the supplies necessary to their employees.
They can prove that this same Tariff, which
has almost doubled the cost of living has fore
ed an advance in wages until the commonest
help now has to be paid $1.5o, S., and even
S. per day. AS to skilled laborers, they simply
look at what you've got, select what they want,
and walk off with it. From S. to $40 per
day is not an uncommon wage; and yet these
laborers net little more than when they got half
that scale. The Tarif-fed Trusts get the lions
share
Then why can't the lumber men enjoin Un-.
Gle Sans Tariff System upon the ground that
it is confscatory?
The railroads say that when profits are gone,
the property is confscated.
Is that so, Your Honor?
You have "handed down" a very silly de-
cision to that effect. Then, that being the law,
pray tell me why con6ne its operation to rail
roads?
If the law guarantees net profits to one class
of investments, why not to every other class?
Think it over, Your Honor.

"PLATT SPENDS SAD, LONELY BIRTH
DAY

Thomas Collier Platt, the senior United
States Senator from New York, sat on the
porch of the Oriental Hotel, at Manhattan
Beach most of yesterday and looked out upon
the sea- 1t was his seventy-fourth birthday an
niversary, but unlike when he was power he
spent it almost alone.
"He had a few callers, mostly newspaper
men to whom he spoke querulously During
the day he received about fifteen telegrams of
congratulation, which he fingered in his feeble
hands with the childishness of old age. Few
were from those who formerly danced attend
ance upon him when he was m king and break
ing men in the politics of the state"
The above from the New York World shows
the present power of the once notorious Boss,
Thomas c. Platt.
Not many years ago, Plat was absolutely
Boss of New York State and he carried the pat
ronage of that state in his vest pocket IF
any person wanted political job, either FEEDER
al or State, he had to go to Platt to get it.
In the Senate Platt was one of the powers that
was always feeding the corporations out of the
public crib, and he made himself rich by getting
special concessions for his express company,
the United States Express Co. During those
days Platt's birthday was a great event to
New York Republican politicians for every one
invited knew that he stood in the good graces
of the great boss But today it is different for
there are only fifteen people who remember
Platt we'll enough to even send him short
message of cheer and good will
What must be the feelings of Mr.. Platt as
he sits alone on his seventy-fourth birthday and
looks back over the days when he was boss
and controlled the Empire State of the Union
as well as having great Influence with the Re
publicans in the United States Senate? Does
he ever think how much more useful his life
would have been had he tried to serve the
People whom he was elected to represent in
stead of selling them out to the corporations
Does he ever realize that he would have had
friends to comfort him. if not political power,
had he been true to the people?
After all, what in the past can this helpless,
feeble, powerless friendless dethroned boss
: look back on with pleasure and pride? 1t is
true that "The mills of the gods grind slowly,
h11t Ahnrr crrirnd errcnndirrr Grn
