A RIVAL HOBSON
WANTS RECORD
FORMER NAVAL HERO TO INTRO
DUCE BILL TO PROVIDE FOR
WEEKLY OFFICIAL JOURNAL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-That
sprightly publication, the Congression-
al Record, at times the most saffron of
the "yellows," will have an official es-
teemed contemporary, if Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson's choice is that
of a majority Of the other members Of
Congress. Captain Hobson, having
abandoned naval pursuits, is now en-
gagged in the uplift of the Sixth Ala
bama District in particular and the
United States in general. Most of the
time he is obsessed by the Yellow Per-
il, but he finds moments to devote to
other things. Hence the bill he pro-
poses to introduce to have the Gov
eminent compete to Introduce to have
the Government compete with itself in
journalism.
The bill provides for an official
journal, to be published weekly by the
Government, and oftener if necessary,
which shall contain brief notices OF
Jue WOIh OL Jne various eAeCuIlNe uS-
partments and Independent bureaus of
the Government, of the Supreme Court
of the United States and of the pro-
ceedings of Congress so far as they
may be of general public interest. The
sum of $4,000 is appropriated for
equipment and $275,OOO for the expense
of issuing the publication.
Captain Hobson has had printed a
number of specimen copies, containing
just such matter as would be expected

PAY As YOU ENTER
FAILS TO PITTSBURG
STREET CAR SCHEDULES UPSET
EMPLOYEES ABUSED, PASSEN-
GERS ANGERED BY PLAN.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 3O.-Disruptcd
schedules, dlsgruntled conductors, who
are resigning almost hourly, delayed
cars blocking the thoroughfares of the
city while the conductors argue or
fight passengers because they have not
paid their fares, composed the result
of the attempt of the Pittsburg Rail-
way Company today to enforce the
pay as you enter plan of collecting
fares on its cars.
The company issued an order that,
beginning at E o'clock this morning
all fares must be paid to the conduct
or as the passenger enters ;he car
This rule had been duly advertised
but the Pittsburg Railway Company
had not equipped the roads with the
side-dOor cars. Tonight 20 conductors
have left the service of the company
a number of persons are locked up on
the charge of disorderly conduct and
patrons are angry over the failure OF
the company TO transport them tc
their homes in time for their dinners
Fifth avenue, the most populous
thoroughfare downtown, was blocked
for hours as the cars piled up one af.
ter the other because the conductor
refused to give his motorman the sig
nal to so ahead when a passenger re.
fused to pay or get off
The first man to resign was con,
ductor of the Charleroi line. that run,
along the Monongahela Valley for A
miles or more. Re had been notified

to collect the fares before the passeD-
gers entered the cars, and was told
that an inspector would report any In
fraction of the rule. At one stop at
Black Diamond, near MonongahelA
City, 112 passengers got on the car,
They flocked in over front ana rear
platforms and the conductor could not
collect all the fares according to rules.
He resigned when his car reached the
terminal of the line.
Many passengers seemed to take de-
light in entering the car. and when the
conductor attempted to collect fares
insisting that he should have collect
ed them on the platform. One man
fastened the door of his car and when
he had collected from everybody on
the platform permitted them to enter
the car, and fastening the door again.
would let another relay from the plat
form enter.
So unpopular is the new scheme that
number of men at lunch organized
the "One Dollar Club and pledged
themselves to tender only a dollar in
coin or bill to a conductor for fare,
thus hoping by the delay caused to
have the "pay-as-you-enter' plan
abolished.

PITTSBURG, Jan, Andrew Car
negie, in a letter to the Grand Army
Association and Union Veteran Le-
gion, acknowledging the receipt of res
olutions referring to his great gifts to

After Republican Votes, Too.

Not only is the Peerless One doing his ut
most to corral the negro vote, but he's after
the white Republicans, as we'll.
Speaking in Salem, Illinois, where he was
born and reared Mr.. Bryan put forth the
claims that he, rather than Taft, is the heir of
Roosevelt; 80 | think | have right to ex-
pect good many Republican votes this year"
If Mr.. Bryan can get the votes of the ne
gro Republicans who hate Roosevelt, and also
the votes of the White Republicans who love
Roosevelt, he~will accomplish a feat much
more difficult than that of securing the Pro-
hibition vote in the South at the same time
that he captures the whiskey vote of the Mid
die West.
To hold Southern Democracy hard and fast,
while winning the negro leaders with anti
Southern pledges, would have seemed incredi
bic year ago-but Bryan is doing it.
Now, let him bunch under his banner the
white Western Republicans who love Roose-
velt along with the blacks who hate him. and
the master trickster will have eXcelled himself.

SUPERSTITION Advancing.

There has been mighty stir in London town
over the proposition of the Catholics to have
street parade, in which "the Hest should
be carried
Do you know what the Host is? Well, it's
a little bit of -four bread, thin wafer, like
those our mothers used to put on the supper
table. Wafer irons are scarce now, we i'm
agine, but in the old days wafer-irons and
waffle-irons belonged to the outfit of every
complete kitchen.
Doesn't it strike you as somewhat ridiculous
that lot of clericals, dressed like old women,
should want to go straddling through the
streets, carrying at the head of the procession
a wafer of -four, about as large around as a
small saucer?
And if these absurd old grannies want to do
a thing of that kind, isn't it comical that thou
sands of other old grannies should get excited
about it, and appeal to King Edward and the
Home Secretary to stop it?
But the whole thing has deep meaning, as
trivial things often have.
The little piece of -four bread becomes the
body of Jesus Christ after the priest has NUT
tered few words over it.

Help! SambO, ---Help u
Didn't we tell you SO?

Didn't we tell you so?
Did we not say that the true reason why
the Democratic Legislature of Georgia refused
to pass the Hardwick disfranchisement bill
was that the Democratic ringsters wanted to
keep the negroes in reserve, in the event said
ringsters needed the negro vote to beat the
white reforrners?
We "shore" did.
And now your have the proof.
By the Disfranchisement act of 1907, as
agreed on by Hardwick, Watson and Smith,
the law was to 60 into effect Immediately after
the October election. The negroes were not
to vote IN the November election of 1908.
So matters stood until after June 4, 1908. On
that day something happened to Hoke-some-
thing that was in the nature of a disagreeabe
surprise.
Well, one of those who had not supported
Hoke the second time was the old man who
heads the Populist ticket. Not that he voted
for Little joe Brown, or advised any one else
to do it-for he didn't. But he had not sup
ported Hoke, the second time, and had in
dulged in certain criticisms Of Hoke in The
Jeffersonian.
Whereupon, Hokc determined to get re-
venge. Bryan having made his deal with the
negro leaders, and Bishop Turner and many
other negro preachers being hard at work for

Dishonesty In Georgia Politics.

Hoke Smiths organ, which covers Dixie like
the dew tries harder to be witty than to be
honest The net result is that the Journal
is neither witty nor honest. On the contrary
in it's struggle to be funny it is revealing
cynical disregard of those plain principles of
rectitude which every respectable citizen, feels
bound to uphold
If Hoke Smith would come out openly and
attack JOS M Brown and Mr.. Watson, his
conduct would excite no particular criticism.
Everybody knows how he feels toward those
two native Georgians, and nobody would
blame him much for blazing away at them with
ponderous anathemas and dismally humorous
anecdotes.
But when Hoke turks in the bushes, while
the small hirelings of his recognized organ as
sail his enemies with falsehoods and clumsy
rdicule his attitude is rather discreditable
What are Mr.. Watson's crimes, as per the
Journal?
Cd He denounced and helped defeat an
abominable plot Of the Hokite politicians to
rob the country people of their legal share
of power in nominating conventions. He is
glad that he did it.
y He insists that the white voters who went
into the White Primary of June 4, are, in hon
or bound to support the nominees. It JOS. M.
Brown was not legally nominated in that pri-
mary, nobody else was. The fact that none OF
the other nominees chosen at that primary are
being antagonized, exposes the inwardness of
the opposition to Brown. Why is it that no
one questions the binding force of the noml-
nation in favor Of Attroney~(1eneral Hart, and
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-09-17
Pkk9D NINE.

all the other state officers who were nominated
at the June primary
Why is it that Mr.. Speer acquiesces in the
nomination Of Treasurer Park, and loyalty sup
ports him?
Why is that Capt R. H. Milledge, candi-
date for Prison Commissioner, submitted like
a man to his defeat and makes no kick on the
primary?
Because they are honest. They went into
the primary knowing that they might get LETT
and when they did get left, they had no more
to say.
Now, if Little Joe" Brown had no right
to run against Hoke, the point ought to have
been made then. If the "unwritten law" gives
a Governor four years when the written law
gives him but two, Hoke ought not to have
allowed Little Joe to butt in.
When Brown allowed to enter the race,
and to stay in to the finish, he's entitled to the
ofice-so far as concerns every voter who
voluntarily went into the primary.
AS to the course of Hoke's organ, that is de-
spicabe, beyond words. To print article af
article in which sore-heads attack Brown, and
to Witty Watson day after day for advising
the white voters of this state to act like hon
est men, is the vilest journalism we have yet
had.
In due time Hoke will discover that he has
made one more huge mistake.

year, by the. offer of the Bryan support of
Hearst in 1912
We think it quite probable that Bryan made
such proposition. We think, likewise, that
Hearst declined to consider t--not for the
high and sacred reasons given by Hearst but
tor the reason that Hearst knew he could not
trust Bryan to keep his word.
In his monomania to be President, Bryan
would "trlck" anybody about anything and
Hearst who was badly bitten in his deal with
Murphy, had no appetite for another deal,
with a trickster who is more than match for
Murphy.
To the Hearst accusation Mr. Bryan con-
tents himself by replying that lit is absolutely
false" Mr.. Hearst thereupon entered into
these details, which carry conviction:
Hearst Reiterates Charge.
William Randolph Hearst, when shown Mr.
Bryan's denial of Mr.. Hearst's statement that
Bryan, four months ago, proposed to support
Mr.. Hearst four years hence in return for Mr.
Hearst's support in this campaign, made the
following statement:
l do not see why Mr. Bryan is always pro-
posing policies that he has to recant, saying
things that he has to retract, and doing things
that he has to deny.
"'When Mr.. Bryan came to New York some
four months ago | did not call on him, as [
had nothing to see him about. He did call on
ME, as apparently he had something to see me
about.
=" I kept his visit secret, but Mr.. Chanler,
in suit brought against me, stated in his aft
davit that he had seen Mr. Bryan at my house,
and SO the visit was inadvertently made public.
That visit was without result, as I purposely
avoided politics.
Shortly after, received an invitation from
a friend of mine to dinner. When I went to
the dinner found Mr.. Bryan there. After
the dinner Mr.. Bryan stepped aside with me
in the hall, and said exactly what I said he did
" I wish he had not said it. Twas surprised
and Inundated by the proposition. 1t showed
that Mr.. BRYAN had no appreciation or concep-
ton of the work I had done for him, or Of the
reason [ had worked so hard and made so
many sacrifices in the cause. It showed that
he considered me merely a trader, working for
some personal advantage or promotion in poll
tics. | left the house Inundated, as ! say, but
more than ever opposed to Mr. Bryan more
than ever convinced that was right in oppos-
ing him
