Why, all our regular politicians in this country on both sides
Iof the fence are immaculate and all the political transactions are
strictly on the square, open and above board. SO much so, in
fact, that the leaders of both parties confer and work to-
gether-for the good OF the people. No political plans are ever
formulated in the private Office" OF star chamber in this country
by regular Republicans or Democrats either at Philipsburg or
Washington. It's true we have a few malcontens in Washing
ton, who call themselves Independents" and say they are fight
ing the bosses. They are liable to do anything, short of
kidnapping and crapshooting; but, then, they don't amount to
anything. OF course the Republicans and Democrats have helped
each other out, !" but that was for the good Of the people
simply to throw the Independents out 1t was impossible to do
this without combining, and pretty hard work to do it then
in fact it was necessary to have the assistance of voting machines
TO accomplish our purpose. The end, however, justified the
means. Those Independents are simply awful They have
accused the Republican and Democratic leaders of almost every
thing, graft, teachery, bossisn and worse. They actually say
that the regularly accredited Republican and Democratic leaders
are linked together by a chain of fellowship for mutual comfort
and support OF course, you mustn't put any stock in that
kind of ta1k.-Wanen Tidings.
Strange how such talk does get around Something similar
has been heard in Essex County from time to time and in
Hudson the gossip to that effect has been ceasdess. It is pos
itvely cruel to thus SANDER our self sacrificing statesmen who
have nothing but the good of the people at heart. Such in
gratitude is discouraging and destructive. il

intrinsic Evidence.

We hear much of the broadening and
ripening of Mr.. Bryan since his last cam
paign. But he himself has not presented
any evidence of a lessening tendency to
take up political vagaries. or that his
leadership is any safer than 1t was when
he first split the Democratic ~party.-St.

If the automobile speed fends can't be regulated in Asbury
Park they ought to be kept out of the town. The Parks ex-
istence is dependent upon its popularity with women and chill
dren, and from them there are many bitter complaints this year
of the terror caused by the recklessness of automobile owners
and their chaufeurs.

Texas is determined to stamp out the
dad man." and she uses her taxing power
to do it. A law has just gone into effect
in that State which forbids the carrying
of concealed weapons, but also goes much
farther. 1t imposes a tax, of so per cent.
ON the gross earnings of the whole bust
ness of any man who, engaged in any mer-
cantile pursuit, combines with it the sale
of revolvers. Who would have thought it?
Texas, Of all others the State of the
strenuous life, turns a square-about-face
and resolves that not only must shooting
stop, but the means of shooting must be
barred!-Troy Times.

Criminal Records OF Innocent Men.

The final success of Roland b.. Molineaux
in forcing the police and prison authorities
to deliver to him all the photographs and
Bertillon measurements Of himself in their
possession may be viewed from opposing
points of view. These records are of Grim
inal data, to be sure, of n man finally pro-
claimed innocent, yet they are also part of
the history of the State. This was the
view taken by all the courts to which Moli-
neaux appealed. The New York Legisla-
ture has now taken the other view, in a
special bill passed to meet the Molineaux
situation, and Governor Hughes in signing
the bill adopts 1t as his own. This view is
that the existence Of the criminal records
is a stigma upon a man declared to be in
nocent, and therefore a wrong perpetrated
upon him. The precedent thus established
will govern New York procedure in the fu-
ture, for the law is made to apply to all
cases like Molineaux's. The popular senti-
ment on the question would probably coin
eide with the opinion of the Legislature
and Governor, for. to use a very concrete
Illustration, the photograph of no innocent
man could justly be kept in a rogues' gal
lery.-Springfield Republican.

ANOTHER OPPOSES.

Editor Watsen's Weekly Jeffer-
sonian:
We, the members of Rebecca Local
Union, No. 538, of Turner county,
believe that the present scheme of
immigration bureaus aided by corpo-
rate powers, in the interest Of capital,
in the hands Of great transportation
companies for the sole purpose of
making profit for themselves, is dan
gerous to the agricultural interests
Of our country, and believing that
such schemes, If put into practice,
will make this Southland Of ours
dumping ground for the lowest and
most dangerous criminal classes of
the old countries; and,
Whereas, These newcomers know
nothing Of our patriotic history, and
care less for our system of religion
or free institutions, such as free
school, free ballot or our freedom to
serve God according to our conscien-
ces, and,
Whereas, We know that they
would increase the expense Of our
courts, destroy the present happy
constitution Of our society, and take
away and occupy the land which
rightly belongs to our own children;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we enter our SOL
emn protest against such, and ask
our brethren throughout the good old
State of Georgia and all our sister
Southern States, to pass resolutions
and use every effort to stop these
wholesale schemes to flood our coun-
try with these dangerous setbacks.

passed which they think will be OBJ
jectionable to the Farmers Union,
will also be suggesting that the stae
officials should spend their time at
some other place and in some other
way.
If the membership wants to know
who it is that is opposed to the Far
mers' Union watching the lawmakers
of our State, they can spot them by
keeping quiet and listening; for
these fellows are going to offer their
criticisms and when they do, you can
know that they, or their masters, are
afraid of having some pet scheme
exposed. And they may have, for
no doubt it will be necessary for the
committee to quietly notify the men,
bership about the actions Of some
persons connected with the legisla-
ture.
These criticising angels (O have
no criticism to offer when corpora
tions Of every class and clan send
their lobbyists to wine, dine, bribe
and buy; but when the Farmers
Union sends a committee to the State
capitol to mix and mingle with the
lawmakers, and tell them Of the
views Of the organization on certain
questions, then it becomes heinous
crime, and they, the critics, wash
their blood-stained linen and swear
that it has always been white.
We would put these saints (Y on
notice, however, that the Farmers
Union is not afraid of their criti-
cism, and that the membership will
refuse to accept their counsel, and
the committee will, to the best Of it's
ability, discharge its duty, and the
schemers will be met at every turn
in the road.-Union News.

We, the members of Local Union,
No. 2, of Mitchell county, do hereby
oppose all foreign immigration, be-

beg that you will do all in your
power to prevent the same.

finally revised by him he intrusted
to his sister, Mrs. Mary O'Hara
Price, who regarded it as the version
he meant for posterity and placed
it with his papers in my hands, and
[ published it verbatim as I received
it from her.
In one of Mrs. Prices letters to
me, which was copied by Mr.. D. E.
O'Sullivan and included in an inter
esting article by him, the scholarly
sister of the poet said: ~ want to
say to all that I furnished you with
the poem 'The Bivuoac of the Dead
as l found it, and if it is not as it
first came from Theodore's hand.
surely you are not amenable." 7
will be pardoned under the circum-
stances for adding these lines from
Mrs. Price, who has passed from
earth, and who made their publica-
ton a sacred request: "When YOU
publish your tribute to my brother
Theodore, say that it is accompanied
not only by the entire Endorsement
of his family, but by their warmest
gratitude and love, for you have
done more than all others to cause
his poems to be properly appreciat-
ed.'
Your correspondent has raised ga
tempest In a teapot" There is moth
ing at all astounding in the fact that
O'Hara revised his sublime lyric
Poe radically changed his immortal
Bells" and Gray altered and cor
rected his famous "Elegy" worlds
without end. But, unfortunately.
O'Hara allowed each amended YER
sion of his poem to be published, and
their conflicting texts naturally
caused bewilderment and misappre
henslon among persons ignorant of
that fact.
The responsibility for the changes
IN '"The Bivouac of the Dead" rests
solely with the author of it. AS far
as [ am concerned, if I had not con-
sidered O'Hara's last version of his
elegy the strongest, grandest, and the
most perfect of them all, would
not have published it, and I must
blushingly admit that folks like Ma
rion Crawford and the Southern His
torical Association, who indorse nv
work, meet with my timid but warm
approval. It was the last perfected
version Of the sublimest elegv ever
given to the world, "The Bivouac of
the Dead" that excited the admira
ton Of Lee and Grant and Gladstone,
and that will continue to be ad-
mired.

THE o'HARA POEM.
Mr.. Ranck Did Not Change or Mutt
late "The Rivouac of the Dead"

Three weeks ago, we published a
page from the cold Scrap Book"
In which Mrs. Dixon made certain
statements which did great injustice
to Mr.. George W. Ranck, whose SON
sends us letter containing refu-
tation of Mrs. Dixon s charges writ
ten by his father in 1900.
We take great pleasure in publish
ing the letter and also the newspa-
per article.
st. Louis, Mo. July Is, 1907.
Mr.. Thomas E. Watson, Editor
Watson's Weekly Jeffersonian,
Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Mr.. Watson: Ny atten-
tion has just been directed to an ar
ticle reprinted in your magazine un-
der date of June 27, entitled "Theo-
dore O'Hara's Immortal Poem" :"
written by Mrs. Susan Bullitt Dix
on of Louisville, KY.
This article attacks my father, the
late George W. Ranck, of Lexington,
KY, in most unwarranted manner
and charges that he deliberately mu-
tilated and changed Theodore
O'Hara IS poem, "The Bivouac of the
Dead" a statement that is unquai-
iedly false.
This controversy has long ago been
settled and I do not care to answer
Mrs. Dixon g article. This has al
ready been done by my father, who,
in August, 1900, through the columns
of the New York Times Saturday Re-
view, absolutely refuted this base.
less charge and proved to the world
that O'Hara was responsible alone
for whatever changes were made i'll
his matchless poem. The incontro-
vertible proofs of this were placed
in my fathers hands by the poets
sister, Mrs. Mary O'Hara Price.
AS George w. Ranck has passed
from earth and is not here to defend
himself, I want to ask in justice to
his memory and to right wrong that
I am sure was unintentional, that
you publish in your magazine the en-
closed article from the New York
Times which, I think, will convince
any fair-minded person that my faith
er was actuated by no other motive
than the preservation, as Theodore
O'Hara himself wished it, Of the
grandest martial poem in American
literature.
1 have always heard you spoken of
as an eminently fair man, Mr.. Wat.

son, and I am sure you will see the
justice Of my demand.
Very sincerely yours,

O'Hara's Poem Revised by Himself.
To The New York Times Saturday
Review:
/ rarely ever reply to fair criti-
cism of my work. An author who
cannot stand such an expression Of
opinion would better retire. But mis-
representation is not criticism. A
short time ago, am informed, some
one filed three or four columns Of
your paper with hysterical illusions
to that recently published little book
of mine, "The Bivouac Of the Dead
and It's Author and accused me of
amending and changing the greatest
martial elegy in existence-Theodore
O'Hara's 'fBivouac of the Dead"
There is no truth in the assertion. I
not only never changed that magnif-
cent production in any way whatever,
but in my book I tell as plain as day
who did make the changes. l state
that it was the only man who had
the right and the genius to do So
the poet O'Hara himself and [
prove my statement. What shall be
said of any one who knew that fact
and then deliberately and intention
ally ignored and misconstrued it7
[ also made it plain why O'Hara
made the changes. He did it to per-
feet his masterpiece, and he certain
ly succeeded. After trying to make
me responsible for something with
which [ had nothing to do, your cor
respondent furnishes a copy of the
great poem in ten stanzas, and wild
ly urges the literary world to accept
it as "the original, unmutilated ver-
sion" of the elegy. Now, right here
is where the real funny part of that
hysterical article comes in. The
crude original, which never satisfied
O'Hara, comprised twelve stanzas,
while the copy your correspondent
champions not only differs from it
otherwise, but has been shorn of two
stanzas. Behold the learned advo-
cate of an original that is not an
original at ala savage denouncer
of mutilation ignorantly indorsing a
mutilated version. But shall I char
itably admit that this was the result
of utter ignorance or shall I hysteri-
cally charge your correspondent with
the cutting out of those missing stan
zas-with "the deep and damnable
wrong and outrage of alteration and
mutilation"q Forbid it. Heaveni
No, O'Hara did all these horrible
things himself. According to his ac-
complished friend and then compan-
ion, the late Major w. T. Walthall,
O'Hara made his first general revis-
ion of his elegy in 1860, when, among
other improvements, he almost to-
tally changed the last stanza, which
until then commenced, "Yon faith
full heralds blazoned stone"
