OF this call was rather puZzllng until
it leaked out that just one man had
promoted the call and the worst fea-
ture Of this affair is that the man
who claims the responsibility for this
call is Stranger in the state, whose
conduct since he has got in the union,
and his affiliations and his work be-
fore are among that very class Of
speculative or slick duck class that
the union was organized to put out Of
business.
Now this bureau has taken the po-
sition from the beginning Of this dis
turbance among it's officials, that
nothing short Of a regularly called
delegated meeting Of the State Union
in full accord with the constitution
would ever settle this question salts
factorily.
But, we protest against following
the lead Of any such self-inaugu-
rated stray bellwether, who has pro-
sumed to make this call, and insist
and demand that this call be made
through the officials in regular order,
in accordance with the constitution.
If it is constitutional for one man
to get up conspiracy among q few
designing men to unhorse the whole
official head Of the Union. then it is
high time to cut that feature Of the
constitution out, or we will be sub
Iect to an eternal guerrilla warfare
in the Union. and when we meet in
Columbia again for the purpose Of re-
storing peace. good order and har-
mony within the Union some defeat
ed aspirant for position may 60 right
back home and repeat the same dis
turbance that we are now trying to
calm.
Brethre@, we need all our com
bined and united strength to fight
our enemies, and never fail to pin
your faith to leaders from among
your ranks, who are well known,
faithful, competent men for each and
every position Of trust.-Seueca Jour-
nal.

LABOR NECESSARY.

Do not think that the farmer is the
only person in this world who has to
work. In fact, the farmer with his
riding pillow, riding cultivator, riding
harrow, and other improved nipple
ments has about az easy time as the
man who sits behind the bank coun-
ter and wrestles with the proposition
how to avert a run on his bank, or
the merchant who lies awake nighta
and worries how he will meet his bills
when the banks refuse to pay his
checks.
Everybody has to work, either with
his hands or his head. We can never
accomplish anything unless we work
for it. "In the sweat Of thy face
shalt thou eat bread" is the judg-
ment pronounced by a never erring
God upon all mankind. We must la
Dor with labor that produces sweat
before we can partake of the fruits
Of our ambitions; and, generally, the
more we sweat the surer our chances
of success are. No great thing has
been done, SO great success has been
reached, no victory has been won
without hard labor, the labor that
produces sweat on the face. Even
the salvation of this world was not
accomplished till the Lowly Man had
sweat his ife's blood. There are no
fowery beds of ease for any man.
We all must fight to win the prize
we all must sail through bloody seas.
Mr.. Toll confronts us on every hand
and we must embrace him, make
friend Of him, love him before he will
permit US to pass on to success.
The man who shirks never rises,
never succeeds in the battle of life.
ALI the world hates the shirker, the
man who is looking for a soft snap.
His reputation will make it impos-
sible for him to win, if nothing else
hinders. The man who willingly
works hard enough to earn dollar
generally succeeds in getting the dol
lar. The man who is getting two dol
lars, but works only hard enough to
earn one, will soon be receiving only
the one dollar.
Labor confronts the young man on
every hand, in the country, in the
town and in the city. Do not lead
the boys and girls to think that the
city is filled with soft snaps and that
all they have to do to escape work is
to escape the farm. Show them that
labor meets them at every turn Of
the road, and that il they do decide
to go to the city, they must make up
their minds to work and work hard
to succeed, even there. When the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1907-12-05

young are taught that it is impossible
to escape hard work, a mighty step is
taken in the direction Of preventing
failure in their hves.-Farmers Ad-
vocate.

The ghost Of the tariff situation with
Germany has come back to haunt the
stand patters On July 1 of this year
the modus yivendi with Germany will
expire, and If no other scheme can be
Matched up to keep it off the new Ger
man tariff law will go into effect. That
law dlscrlminates so heavily against
American products in retaliation for
our high tariff law that experts believe
it will practically wipe out our export
trade to Germany This Is bad enough,
rat IL greater danger lies in the pos
}ilty that England and other Euro
ean countries may follow Germany's
example If we should yield to Ger
many and give her a concession in the
line of special low rates on her prod
ucts entering our ports, there Is no
doubt that other countries will demand
similar favors on threat of raising q
maximum tariff wall against US. The
administration is greatly puzzled as to
what to do, and no wonder.
While the strong tariff reduction
sentiment within this country has had
no effect in driving the stand patters
from their stubborn and unreasonable
position, it seems quite within the
range of the probable that foreigners
may accomplish that which our own
tariff reformers find so difficult. At all
events, the tariff barons" will find II
hard to resist the appeals Of Americans
who have beef and wheat to sell and
at the same time wage tariff war
against all Europe IL Americans are
wise, they will take steps to reduce the
high tariff and avoid tariff war that
might destroy for a time our foreign
markets.

CHAMP CLARK'S
VIEWS.
Pertinent Comments On
Subjects of Public
interest.
Courage and Tenaeitx.

Ia the history of parliamentary bodies
there was perhaps more ruthless ma
chine than the one which dominates the
house of representatives at Washing
ton. Under the code of rules now pre-
vaillng the rights of the individual
member are reduced to the minimum.
There is only one way for a member
to make the machinists respect him,
and that Is to avail himself to the ut
most of what little freedom of action
is left and fight them to the last ditch.
That is precisely what Hon. Frank
Clark of Florida did in the closing days
OF the last congress, and thereby made
az much reputation as any new mem
Der made in that congress. He had
introduced resolution to investigate
certain outrages at st. Elizabeth's lu-
matte asylum, had been appointed on
the committee and had prepared
speech on the subject-a first rate
speech at that. The report OF the COM
nlittee was delayed till the very last
days OF the session. There was no
chance to consider 1t in its proper Or
der. There hardly ever is any chance
to consider in its proper order anything
which the machinists do not want con
sidered, but there is q rule, old as the
government, that when the house is in
committee OF the whole on the state
of the Union TO consider general
appropriation bill member may speak
on any subject whatsoever SO under
this rule Clark asked for thirty min
utes. and the machinists refused to let
him have It. Being well acquainted
with them personally | went to them
and told them they would save time,
by giving him his thirty minutes, but
they objected and started In to consid-
er their appropriation bill, and that's
where they struck snag There is
can enforce, and that is that there shall
be no new legislation on an appropria-
ton bill. Now, it so happened that
this particular bill had many items of
new legislation in it, all approprlating
public money for new projects. Every
time one of these new items was reach
ed Clark would raise the point OF order
ensue. The machinists would beg and
plead with him to withdraw his point,
but he was memorable and stuck to
them like a leech. He kept up that
lick all one day and night and worried
them nearly into apoplexy. Inciden-
tally he saved several thousand dol
lars to the people. The managers were
In a panic, for If he held out and they
did not surrender the bill would not
get through for lack of time. So they
ran up the white flag and gave him
whole hour instead of the half hour
which he wanted in the first place. His
courage and tenacity won him great
victory 1t was one of the most re-
freshlng performances In nay twelve
years service in the house. 1t Is alb
solutely safe to say that hereafter
when Clark of Florida desires time in
which to discuss an important matter
no machinist will interpose an objec-
ton

SHELLS LOCATED UNDER AMERICUS
Not Loaded, However, or Likely to
Explode.

Away down in the ground, Ito feet
beneath the surface, the steel drill in
the city's new artesian well has cut in
to a mass of sea shells, such as one
would pick up today while strollinR
upon the beach. City Engineer c. w.
Murray has several bits of these shells
which came from such great depth and
proving conclusively that at some
prehistoric time the land upon which
Americas now stands was covered by
the sea. That there were more suckers
and Holsters here then than now is also
a self-eyident fact, as shell" games in
this enlightened age OF skates and
bridge whist catch only the most
yerdant rubes.

a Bloody Feud.

The fact that President Roosevelt
turned down both Senators Foraker
and Dick and appointed Hon, Theodore
E. Burton's protege as United States
Judge for the southern district of Ohio
proves two things, both very interest
ing-first, that Colonel Roosevelt pro-
poses to fight Foraker and other re-
dictionaries with every weapon at his
command; second, that Burton is going
after Dicks senatorial scalp. So, all IN
all, there is quite likely to be lively
times among Buckeye Republicans for
the next two years.

HOLD THREE MASS MEETINGS.
Great Rallies OF The Democrats At EIliotts
Drawbridge And Linkwood.

The Democrats held mass meetings.
Ellott's Island Friday night, The speak
ing began about eight o'clock, when Mr.
A. Hurley introduced Mr.. Hazelton A.
Joyce, after delivering short address
complimentary to the well selected candi
dates.
Mr.. Joyce held the undivided attention
of the audience for about an hour, and
fully discussed the local and State issues
Mr.. Joseph B. Meredith was then intro.
duced, and was greeted with much ap.
plause. Mr.. Meredith dwelt at some
length upon why voters should vote the
Democratic ticket, giving many reasons
for the faith that is in him.
Mr.. V. Calvin Trice was the next speak.
er introduced, and was greeted with many
hand -claps. After the noise had subsidized
Mr.. Trice went into the depth of the com.
ing election issues. He delivered a very
forcible speech and seemed to have the
people with him.
Mr.. Joseph w. Bradshaw was the last
speaker of the evening, and his interest
ing speech and comical jokes were great
ly enjoyed by the audience.
On Saturday afternoon the Democrats
went over to Drawbridge and held meet
ing there at two o'clock in the afternoon.
The speakers at this meetion were intro
duced by Mr.. Levin Lewis, who intro
duced as first speaker Mr.. John w Hast
ings, candidate for the Legislature.
Mr.. Hastings made very interesting
address, after which Mr.. John Fletcher
was introduced, who made a very inter
estirg and lucid speech Mr.. F. II. May
ers was the next speaker on the program,
and he interested the audience by telling
many jokes suitably abiding to the Re
publican party.
Mr.. Emerson C. Harrington made the
next address. The gist Of MIR Harring
tons speech may be expressed in the
words of Lord Nelson, the great English
naval hero, who, before the battle of
Trafalgar, sent this message to his sailors:
"Eng land expects every man to do his
duty" So does the party of Jererson and
Jackson expect every man to do his duty.
At this meeting the local candidates an
nounced themselves after making short
addresses. :
The Democrats then went to Linkwood,
where they held an enthusiastic meeting
Saturday night. The speakers at this
meeting were introduced by Mr.. Frank
Vincent. Messrs. John r Pattison, F.
II. Mayors and E. C. Harrington were the
speakers. "a
