Editor Jeffersonian:
L take the following clipping from
a press dispatch in a democratic pa
per Of this date:
"It was announced at headquarters
that Thomas Fl. Tibbles, who ran
with Thomas Watson as Vice Presi-
Dental candidate on the Populist tick
ct in 1904, has written to the commit
tee that he is urging all his friends
in the Populist party to support Bry-

REIMBURSEMENT issue has changed the
Acknowledgement law which was to
go into effect on adoption in October,
so as to make it not effective till
1909, admits Of no other reasonable
construction than that it is intend
ed to use the purchasable negro vote
to trim Mr.. Watson's majority.
Nothing is clearer than the fact that
ours is not only the true Jefferson
ian party, but that it is the white
mans party.
Therefore, we want to say to the
cold Guard" who have kept the
faith through many defeats, to cheer
up, because we already know of many
strong and true men who are flock
ing to our standard; men who have

the dust.
Therefore we appeal to every true
Populist to proceed at once to organ
ize our forces in every county and
every precinct in Georgia.

Letter From Judge Willian1s

He there confessed his past infamy
and double dealing and shed tears
while begging forgiveness and swear
ing upon his sacred honor c? that
he would be straight in the future.
This is the same Tom who in the
Hoffman House in July, 1904, admit
ted, i'll presence of Mr.. Watson, my
self and others, that he had gone into
a conspiracy by which Chairman Fer
riss was to be forced to resign and our
national organization sold out to GER
tain New York parties.
This is the same Tom who, while
pretending all the time to be a popu-
list, has for 20 years been a stool
pigeon and spy for William J. Bryan.
This is the same Tom who, in 1896
assisted in the seduction Of the Peo-
Plies party and the betrayal Of Thorn
as E. Watson.
This is the same Tom who went to
Sioux Falls in 1900 and posed as a
populist in the sickly and NANCY ag-
gregation assembled there under the
auspices of the democratic machine
which resulted in an abortion under
the hand Of Senator Jones Of Arkan-
sas.
This is the same Tom who pretend
ed to start Peoples party newspa-
per in Nebraska for national circula-
ton in 1895 and collected subscrip-
tions over the country for five years
in advance and then failed to send
the paper or to answer letters Of in
quiry.
This is the same Tom who ira
duced, abused and opposed Hon. Igna-
thus Donnelly in 1900.
This is the same Tom who assisted
in destroying the Peoples party Or
ganization in Nebraska.
This is the same Tom who, while
always pretending to belong to the
Peoples party, never voted its tick
ct in his life.
This is the same Tom whose nomi-
nation was obtained for Vice Presi-
dent at Springfield by fraud and de-
ceit and who did not support the tick
ct even when he was a part of it.
This is the same Tom whose record

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPLES
OF JEFFERSONIAN
DEMOCRACY.
Money.

The issuance of money is a func-
ton of government and should not be
delegated to corporations or individ-
uals. We demand that all money be
issued by the government direct to
the people and shall be full legal ten
der for all debts.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-09-17

The headquarters referred to, as
shown by the context, is the Bryan
headquarters. The dispatch is from
Chicago. This is the same Tom lib
bles who has been several times kick
ed out Of the People s Party. The
same Tom who at Denver in 1904
signed a written pledge known to his
tory as the "Denver Agreement" by
the terms of which he solemnly prom
ised never to vote anything but a
straight Peoples party ticket.
This is the same Tom who was, lat
er in the same year, at the ST. Louis
conference justly and properly lam
basted and exposed by Mr., Burkhart
of Indiana.

and monopolies and that they be sub
iect to such governmental regulation
and control as will adequately protect
the public.
Initiative and Referendum.
We recommend federal statute
that will recognize the principles Of
the Initiative and Referendum and
thereby restoring to the voters the
right to instruct their representatives
Labor.
We believe in the right Of laborers
to organize for their mutual protec-
ton and benefit, and condemn the re-
cent attempt to destroy the power Of
trades unions through the unjust use
of federal injunctions. We demand
the abolition of child labor, convict
labor and exclusion of foreign pauper
labor. We demand the enactment of
an employees liability act within con-
stitutional bounds and favor the open
ing of public work to laborers in times
of depression and enforced idleness.
We congratulate the farmers upon
their splendid organizations.
Courts.
We condemn all unwarranted as
sumption of authority by inferior fed
eral courts in annulling by injunc-
tions the laws of the states
and demand action by con
gress which will inhibit such usurpa-
ton and will restrict to the Supreme
Court of the United States the exer-
else Of such power in cases involving
State legislation. We are opposed to
gambling in futures.

Until Fall
T IS A GREAT PRODUCTION
Just Out of Chicago, and to Return
There in Fortnight, Iowa is Given
But Four Chances to Witness Will
lam Morris in Augustus Thomas
Glover Piece-A Drama Of Telepathy

With the production Of Augustus
Thomas masterpiece, "The Witching
Hour" at the Odeon tomorrow night,
the local theatrical season will be de-
clared closed until fall. At least that
is the last booking shown on the
sheets at present, and it Is not likely
that there will be anything else Of
fered. The theatrical season has been
q dismal failure this year, owing to
the fact of the eastern financial furry,
which sent many companies off the
road.
Marshalltown will have chance to-
morrow night to see one of the great
est dramatic successes Of recent years.
The company has been In Chicago for
long run, and has only been on the
road three weeks. But four stops,
Des Moines, MarshalltoWn, Cedar Rap
ids, and Dubuque. will be made In
Iowa. Next week the company ap-
pears in ST. Paul and Minneapolis for
a week, and then goes back to the
iarrick for another run.
Nearly every theater goer here has,
at some time or another, seen ala

strongest plays that have met with
popular favor in the last two decades.
A young newspaper man, Augustus
Thomas, produced these pleasing stage
stories Of southern and southwestern
life, and before he wrote either Of
them. eighteen years ago, he produced
a, portion OF the first act Of '"The
Witching Hour" 1t was based on
telepathy, from actual observations
made by the author during his connec-
ton with q then leading hypnotist, as
his press agent. The more Thomas
pored over his manuscript. and delved
into this new thought, the more he
felt, or rather feared. that the public
was not ready for such a piece-in 9TH
err words, that 1t was too far adj
vanced for the times. Accordingly he
gave it up at 80 years of age, to finish

CHILDREN ARE BARRED.
Juvenile Department of Library to Be
Closed After 6 O'clock.

The board Of library trustees, at its
regular monthly meeting Tuesday ev-
ening, passed a resolution instructing
the librarian to close the children's
department of the building at o'clock
each evening, beginning with May /.
The reason for this action was be-
cause parents have complained to the
board that their children are using the
library for a loafing place after sup
per.
Board members do not believe that
children should be allowed to form the
habit Of coming to the library each
evening after supper when they should
be at home. This ruling applies to
children under the age Of about IS
years. It does not prevent children
from coming to the library to get books
in the evening. but it is intended to
prevent them from remaining in the
building during the evening, and to
prevent this the children's department
will be closed after 6.

Says That "Ths Alligator" is Wrong
and in Fact Hopping Out Of Water.
Editor Times Repu blican: Your

council In re dam" litigation does moi
give the facts, althos your statemen,
correctly quotes from his letter.
]. Mr.. LaPlant has made no propo-
!, and no settlement has been contem-
plated Mr.. Van Laws statement in
that respect in wholly wrong. In fact
I Mr.. Van Laws letter contains the first
suggestion Of settlement on the part
of the city.
2. Mr.. LaPlant has never offered to
buy the mill, or thought Of doing SO.
y He did not know the mill was for sale
save as q wrecking proposition-which
seemed natural as the mill stands in
part on LaIPlant's land.
Mr.. LaPlant's attorney did not
]. ask to have the eight dam cases" as
signed. Mr.. Van Law was the attorney
who requested the assignment. While
We would have preferred trying the
cases at . regular term, yet the fact
Is that for three years Mr.. LaPlant has
been urging that these cases be tried,
and thus far, and for three years, Mr..
Van Law has successfully avoided a
trial. We have evidenced no Sudden
activity" then. as the record will dis
close. We did not know why Mr.. Van
Law was so suddenly getting busy, un-
less 1t was that his clients were urg-
ing action, or politics was the motive.
These things Mr.. Van Law claims
indicate plot" He states Mr.. LaPlant
is contemplating offering to sell the
dam at a highly inflated value" This is
untrue. LaPlant is not offering to sell
at any figure. He states Mr.. LaPlanu
IS contemplating trying "to buy the
min property in order to hold up the
Marshall Ice Company" This is I'M
true. Mr.. LaPlant is not offering, and
never has offered, to buy the mill. He
states 'LaPlant's attorneys had the
eight dam cases assigned" This is
untrue. He had the dam cases assigned
himself. Where is the plot that Mr..
Van Law claims che has discovered 2"
This bold, bad scheme" becomes a
Joke when the facts are presented.
With the ever present quarrel be-
tween the city council and Mr.. Van
Law over attorney fees, we have no
concern. We do object to being
charged as "plotters" and bold, bad
schemers" when all we are guilty of is
not oh3tctins when Mr.. Van Law asks
the court to assign these cases for
trial. Very truly yours.

Afternoon session with committees Of

of whether or not they are to strike,
or to remain In their present positions,
Is now up to the men.
AS In nutshell the offer Of the COM

iSs Is maximums. The blacksmiths
have sliding scale Ut present. with
43 cents as q maximum, regulated by

IN the car department there are many
different rates paid, twenty Oh SO in

It is said by the men that nothing

partments arrive from national head
! quarters. In order to receive support
from the strike fund Of their national
organizations, strike Of any organ

and It IL for this reason that the bus

The men in the different depart
ments held meetings Tuesday night to
discuss the situation.
Afraid Of Carmen.
Men In some Of the other depart
sments have expressed fear that the
carmen were not in sympathy with
the strike Of the machinists, and were
mot favorable toward going out. It is
also said by those who favor strike
that an effort will be made to spread
tho strike to all departments. They
hope to get the union switchmen in
volved by getting the carmen out, for

would not handle "scab" cars.
