organizing at once, but don t say any
thing about the money TO pay The ex=
penses. want to say to the readers
of The Jeffersonian that Mr.. Watson
has been badly treated, not only by
his enemies, but his friends. He has
made this great fight single-handed,
but few Of us have given him any
substantial aid. He has spent the
best Of his life working to better the
condition Of the common people, for
which he has been ridiculed, perse-
cuted, ostracized, but he is the same
Tom Watson now he was twenty years
ago. All the difference we can see is
he is more determined than ever. He
can't be bought and can't be bull
dozed. Comrades, think of it!
Twenty years of persecution and still
unmoved, still true to the common
people. He is out more money on
this campaign than all of us put to-
gether, to say nothing of his time
It is a shame for us to let him pay
his expenses. If he will furnish the
gray matter we ought to furnish the
cash. We can't all be great men, but
we can do good work in great, a
righteous, cause if we will only find
the part we are capable Of doing and
go at it. I want to propose plan to
the readers Of The Jeffersonian. If
you are opposed to it, say so. IF you
are in favor Of it, say so. It is this
that each one of us send Mr. Watson
one dollar Qet those who can send
more) to pay him the money back he
is out on this campaign and to help
build publishing plant so he can do
more effectual educational work. If
we will give him the substantial aid
and the encouragement there will be
something doing Look what he has
already accomplished. One by one
he is forcing the twins to adopt our
principles, and if we will do our part
he will force them to adopt our money
plank or go out Of business. Then,
and not until then, will the farmers
get relief. We owe it to Mr. Watson,
we owe it to our country, we owe it
to our wives and children to do this
Then we can go to work in our own
State and raise a fund that will
BRIGHTEN the privileged class. We will
never miss what we put in the work,
it will be as bread cast upon tie
waters. It will encourage Mr. Wat
son, he will feel that we appreciate
what he has done for us. Now, boys,
there is nothing to it; we have got to
fight the devil with fire. Just a little
from each one will do the work. How
many of you are willing to send Mr.
Watson one dollar or more by the
first of January? [ will head the list
with two dollars, wish [ could send
more.
Now / want to ask every reader of
The Jeffersonian not to fail to work
for subscribers for both papers. IF
they come slow, don It get discouraged;

DR.. Bennett, of Waterloo.

DR.. Bennett, Of Waterloo.
who has recently purchased
several hundred acres of land
near Spoon Lake, northwest of
town, invited some of the busi-
ness men out yesterday to in
spect the big engine and plows.
HIS land lies along the Allen
Greek ditch and nearly all of it
is made soil and consequently
exceedingly fertile. The big
oil engine he is using is of the
Hart-P arr make and is of forty
horse power, and uses coal oil
for fuel. Yesterday they were
cross-plowing sod that was
broken last fall and in addition
to the twelve plows, had a disc
and a harrow hitched on, MAX
ing a long string of implements
which the engine pulled with
out any effort. This engine is
an Iowa product, having been
manufactured at Charles City.
They are intended to be used in
threshing, Smelling corn and
hauling crops to the market.
One man can haul enough oil
fuel out for this engine to last
for several weeks, which makes
it cheaper than to use steam.
Mr.. Bennett figures that the
fuel costs about Is cents per
acre and that if everything is
working all right, they ought
to pillow 2 acres per hour. The
doctor intends to build in the
near future and will then have
a fine farm.
At noon the invited guests
were entertained at dinner by
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett, and to
say that it was enjoyed would
be putting it very mildly.
Everywhere the farmers were
busy in the fields, some plant
ing and some cultivating corn.
The bottom land west and
northwest of Missouri Valley is
looking its best, and with the
improvements being made, anG
the bitches considered, there
will be no finer farming land il
the state.
Those in the party were ]. P

solid front. The conspicuous pre-
sence of Bale Waggener among the
allied forces indicates that party
lines do not necessarily cut figure.
The contest is one that challenges
the power of the common voters in
whose interest parties are presumed
to exist. Mr.. Bailey personally Is
not the issue. The machine relies
for its present effort to dominate
the State conventson upon his sup
posed extentive popularity and
makes capital out of his alleged mis-
treatment by the voters four years
ago. But the issues are deeper than
personalities. The party greatly
honored Mr.. Bailey once, and as
Governor he recognized his subser-
vience to the machine which nom
mated him. If his end was unfort-
unate the party can not blame it
self. Out of his defeat at that time
came important political reforms al
ready accomplished and a great
progressive movement with much
yet to accomplish in establishing
party will.
What part Leland will play in
this contest remains to be seen, but
by his public statements of the evo-
luton of tine Bailey candidacy he
has certainly placed facts of the sit
uatlon before the people which tn y
are entitled to know.-Ths Topeka

THE JAPS

If some of these yellow journal:
could wiell any influence whatever
they would have Japan and the
United States in bloody war with
one another, sure enough.
The PLAIN facts seem to be thai
there is no cause of war between the
two countries and further that
neither country wants the war and
further that there is nothing for
either to gain by the war.
Japag is not void of all reason
She knows that though she might,
in the start, infllst serious damage
10 the United States, in time she
would be over whelmed and swept
off the face of the earth as a nation.
With only half the population
and not commencement of war
resources as compared with the
United States, with an expensive
war just closed that cost her IS
per cent of all her property valua-
tion and navy very much inferior
to our own, Japan is going to make
hay awhile before she stirs up war
with the United States. We admit
that Japan was very much elated
over her ability to whip the Rus
slams to a stand still, but she real
ICES the different proposition that a
war with this country would be.
No, we will have no war with
Japan, now. However, 1t bshovers
this country to keep up her navy to
a standard at least second to En-
gland only, and 10 strengthen our
coast defences and outposts.
We are growing in importance as
maritime power all fine time.
Our territory has been extended and
our commerce amongst foreign ma
tions is increasing. Some day it
may be necessary for us to main
tain our dignity by show of power
on the sea or be bullied by petty
nation.
We have no reason to fear con-
flict with any nation on earth now
yet a strong navy and good cost de-
fence are strong assurance of peace
and are much cheapeo than war.
