Roosevelt Gets Big Stick from Washington

The citizens of Republic last week
forwarded to President Roosevelt a
handsome club.
The club was made from the knot
formed on the limb OF a fir tree and
was carved and finished by Elmer E.
Clark, foreman of the Oversight mine.
The following letter was forwarded
to the president signed by all the lead
ing citizens of Republic
Theodore Roosevelt, White House,
Washington, d. c.:
Dear Sir-Having appreciated
the manner in which you have used
the club, and as the one you now have
must be well worn, the citizens of Re
public, Wash, send new one which
we hope you will use in the future
with the same efficiency as you have
in the past. Republic News-Miner

great cities within their limits would
better not adopt it. This matter was
discussed at the national grange meet
ing at Denver last week, and it is
quite likely to come up at the Hart
ford session.

To Nr. Bryan.

Being an older and somewhat ugier man
than you, Mr.. Bryan, I am going to take
the liberty of giving you "a piece of my
mind"
Mr.. Bryan, you are getting farther apart
from the plain common people every day of
your life. You are frittering away your time
on too many banquets and slush-gush social
functions.
You are paying too much attention to city
club-men who are glad to entertain you and
to bask in the sunlight of your fame and
popularity.
You are creating for yourself an imaginary
world, which is not the real world and you
are peopling this imaginary world with mag
mary folks, instead of real men.
You are deluding yourself with the belief
that tn Democratic Party still exists-an or
ganized, cohesive, workable, and homogeneous
body-when as a matter of fact the life has
gone out Of it. The motions that it still makes
are merely the galvanic action of ofice-seekers,
who can still use the machinery of the party for
personal ambition.
In your Atlanta-banquet speech, you say
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-31

milk, he established the Weekly Jeffersonan
year ago; later, the Jeffersonian Magazine
which will soon complete it's first year.
1t has been awfully hard work The New
York rascals stole the mailing list, as we'll as
the magazine, and there are thousands of the
old subscribers who have no idea where Mr..
Watson is or what he is doing.
Every day or so, another one of his old
subs. learns that the Jeffersonians are in exist
ence, and these old subs. invariably join the
band
So, we believe the worst is over. The success
OF both Jeffersonians is assured Without any
mushroom growth, they are steadily advancing
all over the Union
And nobody need ever doubt that the two
Jeffersonians mean to live up to the creed
which for nearly twenty years Mr.. Watson
has steadfastly upheld. To educate the people,
to guide the people, to expose wrong-doing
IN high places, to sustain those high-minded
leaders who are battling for the rights of the
common people, to oppose Special Privilege
in all of its many forms, to fight corporate
greed and tyranny to the death-these are
some OF the things which the Jeffersonians
will never grow weary of doing.
Now-change the subject a little-lets talk
about you awhile. Don't you feel like helping
us along? Of course, you do. But you don't
know how, you say. Well, here are some
things you can do.
% You can renew that subscription of
yours. You've been putting it off. Quit put
ting it off, Send it along. Send the smooth.
even one dollar. Send it yourself. We can't
pay agents commissions on renewals. You
can't renew on a club offer made by some other
paper. THOSE CLUB OFFERS DON'T
APPLY TO RENEWALS.
Having already paid Commissions once on
the subscription it isn't fair to make us pay it
again. We cannot always give the Jeffersonian
for what the blank paper costs.
(2) You can nudge your neighbor and get
him to subscribe
Cd You can send good list Of names for
sample copy distribution.
(4) You can blow the trumpet for the Jeffer-
sonians, and thus cause the wayfaring man to
become interested.
(5) You can mount your hind legs, on any
one of the $4,000 Rural Routes and tell the
people who live on it that it's an Internal shame
that the originator of the R. F. D. Service
hasn't got one subscriber for each Rural Route
in the United States.
After saying this you will feel better So
will we.
To NY. Bryan.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-31

that the Democratic Party is more harmoni-
Gus and united than you have ever known it to
be-
Well, that isn't saying very much.
The Republicans have elected every single
President since the War.
Anybody~who knows the facts knows per-
fectly we'll that the Republicans elected Gro
yer Cleveland both times.
In all other campaigns the Republicans were
united and victorious. In Cleveland's first
race, it was the Blaine-C -Conkling feud which
enabled Mr.. Cleveland to run Blaine so close
that Tammany felt safe in stealing what little
was needed to carry the state.
In Cleve1ands second election, the Harrison
policies, which had disgruntled the Wall street
monarchs, insured the Democratic victory
Harrison was an honest and stubborn man
who would not be dictated to-consequently,
he went forward paying off the Public Debt
and trying to give the Country decent ad-
ministration
Cleveland's managers made deal with such
Republicans as J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carne-
gle, H. Fl. Rogers and Jacob Schiff; and the
result was that Cleveland went into office the
second time with a Republican mortgage on
him.
The mortgage was duly marked Satisfied
in full' AFTER Cleveland had given Morgan
that scandalous bargain in Bonds; had forced
blocked the way to Tariff Reform by allow
ing the Sugar Trust, the Oil Trust, and the
Steel Trust. to fix the Tariff Schedules to suit
themselves; and had allowed Jake Schif to
gobble the Union Pacific Railroad
In other words, Cleveland's second admins
tration was Republican affair, so far as the
Special Privilege Interests were concerned.
Therefore, the conclusion of the whole mat
ter is that the Democratic Party has never had
a President, since Buchanan.
And they have lost out because they have
not had the wisdom and the independence to
unfurl the standard of genuine democracy.
They have tried to beat the Republicans
at their own game They have tried to outbid
the Republicans for Corporation support
Instead of planting themselves squarely on
a platform which embodies the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson, and then fighting con-
sistently for those principles long enough to
win the confidence of the people, the Democrat
ic leaders have juggled with words and phrases
to deceive their followers; and they have put
forth platforms that were either capable of two
constructions Or they have frankly gone over
to Wall Street-as the Parker crowd did
And your colossal blunder Mr.. Bryan, was
that when Parker went over to Wall Street,
you followed him.
Like the spot on Lady Macbeth's little hand,
that is the stain on your record which all the
waters of all the seas cannot wash out
You, Mr.. Bryan, are growing conservative,
at the very moment when the masses are grow
ing more radical. You are making yourself
solid with city bankers, railroad men, capital
lists and corporation chiefs generally-but you
are losing touch with the country people
Surrounded by 500 of the "most principallist
men of the town." you eat, drink, and are mer-

The Anniversary.


months ago, Mr.. Watson put forth in these
columns precisely the same declaration of
principles and purposes that he proclaimed
when he issued the first number of The Peo-
ple's Party Paper in 1890.
These principles are nothing in the world
but Jeffersonian democracy, adjusting itself
to modern conditions. They are our creed-to
live by, to work for, and to die by. Other
leaders may shift their sails to suit the wind,
but the Jeffersonian will hold the rudder true
and drive right ahead, no matter how stormy
the seas.
Mr. Watson has never apologized to any
body for being alive and having convictions
of his own He is not ashamed of having been
Populst He is proud of it. He is Pop
ust now heart and hand. Populism stands
for a government of the whole people, for the
benefit of ALL Equal and exact justice, is the
cornerstone of Populism as it is of true dem
ocracy.
Mr.. Watson went out of the Democratic Par
ty because he is Jefersonian Democrat. He
went outside to get some democracy.
When Bryan and the Spanish War swallow
ed the Peoples Party, and it's machinery fell
into the hands of the unspeakable Marion But
Ter, Mr.. Watson saw that our Appomattox
had come.
He quit the field, where there was no long
CT any nope, anu WCIlL 10 WIllHIS IOpulISI
books. That is to say, he wrote history from
the standpoint of the people, illustrating from
history the working of that class-law system
which is sappng the foundations of the Ameri-
can Republic.
Then, when Wall Street took the Democrat
c Party away from Bryan in 1904, and dragged
Bryan along at the tail of the cart-a captive
in self-imposed chains-Mr Watson thought
somebody ought to make stand for Jefferso-
nian Democracy. For that reason, he took the
Populist nomination and did his best, under
tremendous difficulties
At the polls, the result seemed insignificant; /;
but shrewd observers saw that the campaign
had had its effect.
1t gave Bryan most uncomfortable warning
that he had better not 60 with Wall Street
any more.
1t put Tom Ryan and August Belmont on
notice that the next time they bought Nation
al Convention they had better be mighty sly
about it--else their money would be thrown
away.
1t put all the bosses on notice that hereafter
we intend to have real Democrat in the field
on a platform that isn't an echo of the Repub-
ican Professionalism
AS Mr. Watson had been drawn into the
field again by the happening of the unexpected,
he thought he might as we'll continue the
work, by editing national magazine.
For two years he worked at this, receiving
no compensation.
Then pair of rascals, using approved Wall
Street methods stole his magazine, and set
out to run il themselves.
They didn't run it long.
Wasting no time in crying over spilled!

Typhonoid. New Type OF Motor Boat

The Scientific -th"ri,,ra has illus
trationS of a new form of motor boat

consists of two 4-cylindcr N-type mo-
tors, of 60 horse power. each coupled
together and to the propeller shaft.
The propeller is. however. the main
departure from customary equip
ment. 1t is what is called Typhon-

connecting with Il tube the same di-
ameter Gil inches) running the whole
length of the boat, under the keel.
1t is claimed that the injurious effects
of displacement of water by ccntrifu-
gal force is obviated. and the limit to
the propulsivc power by rapid rota-
ton is thus achieved. The propeller
blades are six in number. distributed
the shaft and terminating in
the cylinder tube. their rear ends be-
ing shaped like the ordinary screw
propeller, while the front of the
blades being intended, it appears. to
and hold the resisting
power of the water upon the pro-
polling screw. The inventor has ex-
pressed his utmost confidence in the
boat making over 60 miles an hour.
A French naval engineer who has
thoroughly supervised the inventors
plans, declares that it far excels all
other propellers in efficiency and he
thinks it will more than attain his
claims for speed.

CANCER IS TRANS FERRED FROM THE
WALLS OF HOUSES. French doc
tor has discovered that the germ of
cancer may be concealed in the wood
work or paper of 4 house where the
disease has existed, and be commune
Gated, when released, to succeeding
tenants. DR.. I4ambripOr states that
at Jassy. in q small house of ten
rooms ten patients have died of
cancerous growth within the past
score of years. France is remark
able for the prevalence of this dis
ease, and has led to much study of
conditions by the medical fraternity,
and their conclusion is that it is not
contracted from personal contact but
by some malign germ that finds lodg-
ment in habitations. This is proven,
not by it's absence in association of
occupants, but the almost certain
breaking out of the affection by
tenants years after the evident con-
ditiOns for transmission have been
placed in some mysterious manner
in the habitatiOns of those who have
died from cancer.

This possibility of pitchblende has.

rock and plate were in conjunction.
This led to an investigation which
revealed the fact that in all the rock
from that district in Alaska, were
traces of radium. The scientist,
Henri BerthOlet, was thereupon in
duced to visit Fairbanks, and after
thorough examination he announces
that the deposits are of such extent
that they will obviate the necessity
in future of science calling on the
unwilling pitchblende deposits of the
Austrian government for that sub
stance.

How TO BRAND UNION VEGETABLES.
And now the farmers are planning
to use the union label; at least some
of them, at Newburg, N. Y, have
effected an organization for that OBJ
ject. They have applied for admis-
sion to the Central Labor Union of
that State, and the only obstacle they
have not reasonable hopes of sur
mounting is the difficulty of affixing
the label to vegetables. If this mat
ter can be overcome, there is no
doubt but that the project will be
carried out and walking delegates
will have kitchen inspection added to
their strenuous duties of the present
time. The meeting was held at
Searsville, and the Orange County
Union is the result of their deliber-
ations, the idea being to cut out mid
dlemen by selling direct to consum-
ers. They claim that the exactions
of commission men have become so
outrageous that they will declare
their entire freedom soon as some
plan of labelling onions, tomatoes,
potatoes, lettuce, cabbage and other
garden truck for Identification when
in competition with non-union pro-
ducts may be devised.
