OLD POPS, READ THIS.

Out in Texas, in the town of Abilene, is
.rue-hearted, industrious reformer, who is do
ing his level best to stimulate independent
though and action and to revive the interest
which tens of thousands Of good citizens once
felt in Jeffersonian democracy. He has been
doing this work at his own expense. Being
poor man, this is an imposition which we
ought not to allow. We owe it to ourselves to
help the man who is trying to help US.
The Jeffersonian strongly urges upon every
citizen who feels that in the campaign Of 1908
every legitimate effort should be made to
bring out full, independent vote, to send
Mr.. H. L. Bentley Abilene, Texas, contri-
button to help him on in circulating literature,
conducting a national correspondence, and or
g,anizing Jeffersonian clubs. If you can send
ST., send it-send it now. If you can spare
SIS, send that. Thousands of you can send
$40 and never miss it. Do it, and reap the
reward Of that good feeling which follows the
performance Of good deed. If you can send
no more than 25 cents, send that amount.
The Jeffersonian can vouch for Mr.. FL. L.
Bentley, and for the fact that that money will
be honestly applied to the purpose herein in
dictated.

THE COUNTRY EDITORS HARD HIT BY
REFORM.

Between the lines Of the following little
editorial from the Douglasville Sentinel may
be read a story Of sad disappointment and
consciousness of undeserved unjust treatment
which is pathetic, and makes ones heart
swell with sympathy for the good men who
believe themselves the victims of injustice
and ingratitude:
"The railroad commissioners of Georgia,
after cutting out the pass, passed resolution
requiring the railroads to advertise their
schedules, but so worded the resolution as to
knock out the country editors and give all the
pie to the dailies. Thus the ones who made
it possible for the commissioners to hold office
are rewarded-got stung. In this section the
Southern railway refuses to advertise the ar
rival and departure Of trains"
The lot of the editor of a country weekly
is often a hard one. Subscribers are mostly
in arrears, and when they pay their subscrip-
ton in cordwood or eggs it cancels their debt

ANARCHISTS GETTING BUSY.

The anarchists are getting busy again. Ev-
cry now and then these cowardly scoundrels
make a squirt in their diabolical deeds.
Only few days ago priest, while at SER
vice in Denver, was cruelty assassinated by
an anarchist. A little later the Shah of Per-
STA narrowly escaped death at the hands Of
an anarchist. Then the president of Buenos
Ayres was the object Of an attack from an an
archist.
Chicago at frequent periods furnishes a
field for activity of anarchists Indeed, an
archists, have made Chicgo notorious in that
line. The latest open expression of this dia-
bolical doctrine was in the shape of an attack
upon the chief of police Of that city, which
fortunately resulted in the death of the wretch
who made it.
Every time one of these attacks is made by
an anarchist upon an official Emma Goldman,
the notorious anarchist lecturer, breaks into
print, and expresses her views on the situa-
ton. The assassination of the late lamented
William Mckinley was widely attributed, in
directly, to the influence of this woman. It
would seem to be a wise precautionary step in
the work OF stamping out the loathsome doe
trine and practice in this country to devise
some way by which Emma Goldman can be de-
ported and kept out of America.
These several attempts at assassination, all
in a few days, suggest the Importance of tax
ing more rigid steps toward the suppression
Of as villainous a band as ever organized
against civilization.
A number of intelligent men in this country
have advocated the enactment Of a law which
will deport a man from America and keep him
forever away as soon as he proclaims himself
an anarchist, not waiting for him to make an
attempt upon some officials life but taking
precaution against him upon the announce
ment of his adherence to the horrible doctrine.
It does seem that in a case Of this kind,
the old adage, can ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure finds application
The anarchist stands for all that is vicious,

q well known New York character has had
built for him by a New York firm demi-
limousine body for mounting a 50-h. p.
chassis, that is apt to knock the eye OUT Of
his fellow sports. Brady's order was for a
body that would attract attention; never mind
the cost The result Is a handsomely designed
demi-liriousine body finished in natural wood
with distinctive lines and a cream colored
chassis. In building this body great care was
taken in the selection of the white wood for the
panels and the white ash for the mouldings
and window frames. In the vanishing the
grain OF the wood was filled with clear var
nish no pigments OF any kind being used. The
upper part of the body inside and the ribs
of roof are finished in white ash backed with
woven cane work of selected grade. The
roof Is covered outside with waterproof ma
terial and is mounted with a roof rail or lug
gage carrier with brass scrolls. Inside the
rail there are stats finished in natural color
to match the body, and straps are fitted to the
roof rail to hold luggage or tires in place.

is the only one they handle. 1t Is fa-
vorably known in the east and Is taxi

account of itself.
There are several of the roadsters in

below the axle, the cars are always
noticeable.
The American company is putting
out FIVE models this year, of two styles
of chasses which have $3.50 horse
power motors, with 81 by 5iA cylin-
ders cast In pairs.
A Bosch high tension magnetic is

style in the rear. The wheel base Is
124 inches, with wheels SO inches in
diameter, equipped with four-inch
tires.
A special roadster chassis has 4e-inch

BOYS STEALING RIDE
BURNED WITH STEAM

There are all sorts Of fads, fancies and ht-
tings which add to the comfort and luxurious
ness, trouble and expense of motor car use
would give as good and often better service
without them as far carrying the load and
speeding are concerned. IN this connection it
is interesting to note that some men pay more
for the body and interior fittings Of their cars
than others do for their entire machines. A
well known Chicago character has spent $500
In putting extras on a $1,000 steam touring car.
These additional money burners include six
lamps, for various purposes; clock, a barome-
TER a thermometer, gradometer, an odometer,
a speedometer a huge horn, an electric bell. a
steam whistle and kid eradicator" The
last named consists of a steam pipe running to
the rear step, and when an intruder attempts
to steal a ride the steam is turned on his
legs Warning OF the ride stealers presence
IS given the eccentric owner by the ringing OF
a small electric bell, put in action by the
stealer's weight on the step completing an elec-

NEW MODEL AUBURNS ON
WAY TO LOS ANGELES
Car VIII Be Entered In Al Contests
of Motor Cars That Occur
in Southern Cali
fornIa

The first shipment of 1909 Auburn
cars left the factory week ago ana
r.. l.. Forsythe, the Southern Califor-
mia agent, expects to receive them THIS
week. The first carload Is made up
entirely of two-cylinder cars. The new
four-cylinder model will follow in
few weeks.
From every standpoint the Auburn
has been one of the successful cars of
the year in the two-cylinder class. 1t
has demonstrated it's class in every
kind of contest, and Mr.. Forsythe says
ii will be prominent this year in hill
climbs, endurance runs and record
stunts.
The motor in the new two-cylinder
car is 5Ax5, and develops over twenty
four horsepower by actual test. 1t
is guaranteed to make a speed of fifty
miles an hour. The new car will be
very easy riding, having semi-elliptic
springs In front and full elliptic in the
rear.
The material Is the best, and nothing
will be slighted to make the Auburn
the leader in the two.cylinder class.
There will be little reduction in the
price Of the Auburn this year. The
benefit in the reduction of the cost of
material will be used to, improve the
car and make it even better.

SIGHT OF TITLE
SCARES WOLGAST
PREPARES TO FUNK OUT OF
ANOTHER MATCH
Declares He viii Box AtteIl Only
Upon Condition That They Make
Weight at 6 O'Clock and
Co 25 Rounds
ny JAY DAVIDSON

There is about one chance in ten
million that Abe Atteil and Ad VOL
CAST will fight next month at vernon.
Wolgast is half scared to death ana
does not want to fight Atten half as
much as he thought he did and mas
found a loophole of escape. He says
that he will fight Attell If the champion
will agree to a 25-round route anu
make the featherweight limit at
o'clock, instead of ringside. In other
words, Wolgast would be Wiling 70
fight Attell If he was allowed to carry
a shotgun and a tomahawk into the
ring with him.
WoIgast says that he would weaken
himself by making ringside weight ana
in the next breath admits that he now
weighs only four pounds above the
feather limit. He CONSIDERS II an u nee
wise move for him to try to take or
this four pounds in three weeks-ac-
cording to his statement.
The fans around Los Angeles prob
ably have seen the last of this young
man. He has fiunked out OF two
amtches III a fortnight and put the
Jeffrles club in an embarrassing light
not to mention the expense he has
caused it. all of which is total loss
He seems to have developed a saffron
streak that threatens to ruin MS
career.
Before he had a chance to get At
tell in a championship match, he was
widely quoted as being determined to
go after Attell and force him to fight
him. Now that Abe is willing to make
the match and names extremely rea-
sonable terms, Wolgast wants to SIT
up and dictate terms that he knows
will not be accepted. 1t is short
cut to avoiding meeting Attell.
The champion is entirely correct in
demanding ringside weight whenever
his title is involved. Abe is averse to
the long routes and cannot be criticised
for insisting upon twenty rounds, just
as Nelson refuses to fight unless his
opponent will agree to the long route.
Attell never will give in to the Mil
waukee would-be dictator unless he
should become convinced that Wolgast
is a dub in which event he will fight
him at catchweights. Wolgast is
wasting his time around Los Angeles
for the future, as local fans will not
pay to see any fiunker fight.
