 Washington. Dee, ie-'Tf they can be reached for criminal libel, 1 snail try to have them reached" said Pres'. oent Roosevelt in speaking this after noon about those Americans who have been guilty of Infamous falsehood con- eerning the acquisition of the property and the construction of the Panama canal itseif."
 It was to the committee of 100 of the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterway Association. headed by Governor Deneen of Illinois. who were received by the President in the east room or the White House that he made this declaration. Governor Deneen had presented a copy of resolutions adopt ed by the association and made few remarks to which the President replied as follows:
 T have felt, as the Governor has well put 1t that no more important service could be rendered to this country than the building of the Panama canal be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific. and one thing I am proud of in connection with the building of that canal is that there has not been legitimate cause for the breath of scandal connected with any feature of the proceeding. We have cause to be ashamed of only one set of Americans in connection with the building of the canal, and that is of those Americans who have been guilty of infamous falsehood concern ing the acquisition of the property, and the construction of the canal itself. If they can be reached for criminal libel. I shall try to have them reached. If not at any rate all the facts we know or ever have known are at the dts- posal of each and every one of you here. and of any one In Congress or of all Congress if they wish to see theri.
 Next only in importance from the physical standpoint to building the Panama canal comes the question Of developing the use Of our own water ways. That must be done by the policy of irrigation at the headquar- ters up in the arid regions; and where you come from. gentlemen, 1t is to be done by making eur sea coast take . big loop In from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes; and we will see that that work is done just as honestly, just as efficiently as the Panama canal work has been done, and no work could have been done from beginning to end more honestly or more er- ficiently."

"The names of Caesar and Napoleon might as we'll have been used, for 1t could not be more impossible. All this except the dragging In of new names was threshed out before the United States Senate Committee by the late Senator Morgan. Out of respect for the dead, refrain from comment on that proceeding. but I feel war ranted in saying that it was pursued with unparalleled energy and skill. It was, however, completely exploded and refuted by the facts in the case, and ended in complete diseomhture There is not a word of truth in 1t, and I would not notice 1t at this time if 1t did not concern others.g
 The introduction Of these gentle men in the Panama affair is like the creation of a character in work of fiction. They did not exist in the sense of having any relation to the canal matter. Neither of them ever had the least pecuniary interest in tn @ business. It is a matter of public history that the President-eleet never had any ofiieial connection with the canal until months after 1t had been acquired by this Government. He was in the Philippines as Governor during all the years in question.

My guide received me kindly, and
at once set himself about showing
me the process through which these
criminals against the laws of God
and man were being put.
First he showed me the great
lake Of fire and birthstone. There
was great wide shoot coming down
from above, and through this shoot
was coming the cotton gambler, the
Watered stock gambler, and those
bank robbers, shooting them right
into the lake. / noticed that old
Nick had a number of strong imps
standing by and every time one of
those Watered stock gamblers came
down the shoot, these imps would
catch them and take them out and
run them through machine to.
squeeze the water out of them, and
when they came out of the machine
there was not much of them left.
They had been so inflated with
water that by the time the water
was squeezed out, they looked like
a wet saddle blanket. NV guide
told me that they had to squeeze
this water out Of them or they
would put out all Of his fire. Once
in a while there would be fat,
sleek fellow come down the shoot,
who was so sleek that he would
bound clear across the lake and
alight on the opposite side; but
then the Old Boss had few big
negroes on that side with pitch
forks to catch them and throw
them back into the lake of fire, and
then there would be a great smoke
come up.
While watching this process, /
happened to look up and saw a
rack, or kind Of lattice work, up
over the lake, and saw that there,
so | asked my guide who those
fellows were up there, and he told
me they were non-union farmers up
there; that he had them up there to
season out, for they were too green
to burn yet, just then / awoke
and after | thought over my dream
i decided to report my to Union
that the devil was doing his duty

EDUCATION.

This is the most important of all
things to be considered by the peo-
pie OF the South.
When we look over our own state
and see so many little boys and girls
half fed, half clothed, and debaTred
from the privileges of the public
school training We are con-
strained to say to those parents,
Father and Mother, do you love
your children? Ii so, show your
appreciation Of them byaworking a
little harder, being a little more
economical, and sending those boys
and girls to school.
The boy or girl that grows up
in this day and time without an
education, had better die in In
fancy. They will not be recog-
nized. Oil how | sympathize
poor boy or girl who is debarred
from the privileges of an education,
and that by their own parents
God gave our children their
minds undeveloped, and, like the
grain of corn put in the ground, it
will germinate and put forth its
green leaves, but, if left alone, with
out cultivation, it will be dwarfed
and not bring forth fruit-it does
not matter how good the grade ol
seed may be, the corn will fail

In my humble Judgment you can
not oppose this measure and after
wards consistently claim to be the
farmers s friend. The man who fol
lows the plow is always remem=
bered when you are hunting votes,
but by many he is soon forgotten
after the election is over.
Now, you self styled friends OF
the laboring class, show your colors

FROM LYNWOOD, MISS.

Dear ADVOCATE: I will write
you a few lines from Local 571.
We are moving along very well.
We do not attend our meetings as
regularly as we should. / hope
we will do better in the future than
we have in the past. Now, breth-
rem we should attend our meetings
regularly and attend to our busi-
ness Iii we do not, no one else
will do it for us. We should try to
have something interesting every
time we meet. Let us try and
see ii we can't any way. We
should study as to our own best
interests, and we should also study
diversification of crops, and not
Edepend altogether on cotton as our
chief product. We should raise
more corn, oats, and other feed
stlffs, and also potatoes, molasses,
peas, and plenty of meat and lard.
Then we would not have to go in
debt to buy all Of these things,
which we can raise at home at
very little expense.
| will say that your humble
scribe had the pleasure of attend
ing the county meeting which was
held at Star, Miss, on the 18th
and 18th of january. While there
met some very strong Union men,
and as clever people as / ever saw,
believe.
Brethren, we should take more
Interest in these county meetings
than we do. Every Local should
be represented at these meetings
! Let us be true blue Union men
and try to have delegate from
every Local in the County at oul
County meeting.
AS this is my first attempt tc
write to THE ADVOCATE, I will rins
loft for this time, for fear / get bur
densome. Ii / see this in print,
will try and write again.
With best wishes for THE AID

as a rule, make as good citizen.
Why2 Because he was not trained.
Who is to blame? His parents.
They should be the nearest things
on earth to the hearts Of their pa
rents. Let's have schools, if they
do cost more. Every dollar spent
that way will give back two hum
dred per cent. Where education
is lacking, wealth is always lack
ing also. 1t is the educated peopfS
that acquire the wealth throughout
the universe. We have an exam
pie Of this here in the South and
North. The Northern people have
spent their money educating their
children, and by so doing, they are
now able to keep the stream of
wealth flowing to the North. The
North is getting rich at the ex-
pense OF our ignorance.
Before we can cooperate and
work together harmoniously, we
will have to educate. Any other
effort will be f00lishness.
Send your boys and girls to
school. Raise less cotton, and you
will have less cotton to pick, and
more time for your children to 90
to school Increase your taxes 3

UNCLE AIS DREAM.

Dear ADVOCATE: AS / had a
very remarkable dream few nights
since, thought / would write it up
and see if you could interpret it. |
dreamed that my Local Union had
sent me as a committee of one to
investigate how the devil was treat
ing these defaulting bank officials
who have been now for SO long rob
bing our widows and orphans, and
all others who have trusted their
savings in their hands. And I was
also to investigate the treatment of
these future7cotton gamblers, who
have been robbing our toiling far
mers for the past forty years, and
also was to see what was being
done with these watered stock
gamblers.
Our Local seemed to fear that
Old Nick, would be little par
tial to his own, and that perhaps
khe was not meeting out the just
judgments Of Heaven against them.

FROM BUSH. MISS.

Dear Brother [aynie: AS I am
a member Of Stgbng River Local,
No. 958, Of SimHson County, and.
see so many let Brs from different
parts of the State from other Locals,
] thought | would write and tell the
brethren how we are getting along.
We were organized in April 1907,
by Bro. w. I'll. Evans, with 16 mem
bers, and now have about so male
members. Our Local is moving
along nicely, but there is great room
for Improvement yet. We need
more education on all lines of our
business. The poor old farmer has
always been working head long
all the time, studying to make more
cotton through the heat Of the
summer, and theEother fellow has
been doing his figATing for him, and
getting the fruits Of his labor far
below a living price.
But the farmer is opening his
eyes now and doing business for
himself.
We clod-hoppers have got to quit
depending. on cotton alone, and
raise corn, potatoes, molasses, peas,
and peanuts We must take more
interest IN our stock so we will have
plenty OF meat, milk and butter,
and have cotton for our surplus
crop.
II every farming man would dc
that and be true to the obligations
of our organization, success would
be ours. The success of this grand
old organization depends on the
loyalty of its members. There are
very few Of the members Of this
Local take The ADVOCATE. / do moi
see how a true Union man can dC
without it. We get it every Friday
and ! read it through that night
Last Saturday we had Bro. Walters
our County Lecturer, with us. HI
is true blue Union man. He CAV,
us a good lecture on cooperation
lin the morning; in the evening h,
! gave us another lecture on Union
ism and Its Work.
