Judge Emory Speer.

The folly of the Hearst platform in its
indiscriminate hostility to injunctions,
and the soundness of the position taken
by us in the telegram to the New York
World, could not be illustrated to better
advantage than by reference to the re-
straining order issued by Judge Speer for
bidding certain railroad corporations from
increasing their freight rates.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, and the temporary injunc-
ton is nothing in the world but an order
that things shall remain as they are, until
both sides can be heard on the merits.
If the ridiculous demands" of Mr..
Hearst's ridiculous Independence Party"
were put in force, such judges as Emory
Speer would not have the right to stop
the corporations when they are about to
infict great wrong upon the people.
All honor to Judge Speer! The Jeffer-
sonian is only too glad to acknowledge his
splendid judicial courage and to contrast
it with the servility of such corporation
henchmen as Jones, of Alabama, and
Pritchard, of North Carolina
The papers, some time ago, mentioned
vacancies soon to be made in the Supreme
Court of the United States. It was said

African bishops, African Doctors of Di-
vinity, African chieftains of African
Leagues, betake themselves to Mr..
Bryans home, are given the glad hand
by the Peerless One, are refreshed by
fried chicken OH the Bryan lawn, are
hypnotized by the Bryan smile, are mag
netized by the Bryan eloquence, and come
away whooping for Bryan.
The Africans are against Taft because
of the four issues mentioned. They are
fighting Taft because Taft will not do
the things which the Africans want done,
BUT WHICH THE SOUTH DOES
NOT WANT DONE.
The Africans are supporting Bryan.
And the South is for Bryan.
Study it we'll gentlemen.
MR. BRYAN IS TURNING THE
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY
INTO THE Niger PARTY.
If the South votes for Bryan this time,
she will lose more than has been gained
in all of her long struggle for white SUI
premacy.

4 fricanizinq the Democratic Party.

In a vindictive spirit, the victorious
North wreaked her vengeance upon the
PROSTATE South, in the enactment Of the
Reconstruction Laws By legislative pow
er. some millions of ignorant Africans
lust liberated from slavery, were to be
made the masters of their former owners.
To see that the purpose of Thad Stevens
and others should not fail of accomplish
ment visiting brethren came down from
the North and took seats with us.
Thereupon, the South went through an
era of such shame and suffering, such
humiliation and intolerab1e outrage as no
great section of the Anglo-Saxon race
ever endured.
Night Riders took the road, and by the
time the Ku Klux Khan had shot few
hundred, and had whipped a few thou
sand, the negroes began to realize that
Congress could not change the laws Of
God Wherever the white man puts his
it will ever be.
Unable to batter down the walls Of the
18th, I4th and 18th Amendments, the
South has undermined them. With her
poll-tax laws, her registration acts her
Acknowledgement bills, she has null1hed
the Reconstruction Amendments. White
supremacy has been restored and made
secure.
And the beauty of it is, that the North
doesn't care.
The broader-ninde statesmen of other
sections feel that the Reconstruction pol
icy was a hideous mistake. They are
ashamed of it, and sorry for it. They
know that the indiscriminate gift of the
franchise to the blacks was a curse to
them, as we'll as to the whites. For one
thing, it deepened the channel of race
hatred, fed the fires of racial antagonism
The North is not willing to repeal the
odous amendments, but she will not in
terfere while Southern States nullify them
by local legislation.
This is the position of President Roose-
Welt; also of Mr.. Taft.
The various African Leagues of the
North furiously resent this attitude Of
Roosevelt and Taft They denounce the
administration Republicans for four

THfNGs ARE COMING YOUR
WAY.
Just be patient and firm and insistent,
yet awhile longer, and it will all come
right.
The leaven of your principles is at work
throughout the Union. In state laws and
in Presidential policies, your influence
can be seen. Your stand for the right, re-
CARELESS of popularity and the sweets Of
official position, is bearing fruit and you,
the despised of all parties, are become the
respected of all. That your are the only
true Jeffersonian Democrats, is being uni
versally recognized, That you alone
stand for the political supremacy of the
whites, is being felt. That yours.is the
only party which can bring about politi-
cal union between the West and South,
to overthrow the hateful domination of
Eastern and Northern capitalism, will be-
come clearer with every campaign.
In January of this year, the Hearst
party met in Indianapolis and adopted
platform which favored ship subsidies, ma
tonal banks, and governmental loans to
these banks. 1t opposed Tariff revision
and opposed the governmental ownership
of railroads.
The Jefersonian, and other Populist
papers, ridiculed the Hearst platform and
warned you of the Hearst movement.
During the last days of July, the Hearst
crowd assembled itself together again, in
Chicago, and threw away their Indianap
oils platform. Six months was as long as
the Hearst crowd could afford to wear
the same suit of clothes.
Their new platform is almost entirely
an appropriation Of Populist doctrines.
Why this startling conversion from
Wall Street-ism to Populism? The Hearst
crowd knew what Our principles were six
months ago, didn't they?
They knew their own minds six months
ago, didn't they?
What has happened during the last six
months to change the Hearstites so COM
pletely?
This has happened: 1t has been demon
strated to Mr.. Hearst that he can not
OPENLY carry the reforrners over to
Wall Street
1t being the purpose of Hearst to cap
ture the old-guard Populists, for his own
sinister purpose, he has now adopted a
Populist platform, instead of the Wall
Street platform Of six months ago., =

THIS Is MY S1st BIRTHDAY.

William Morris Stewart, one of the
leading men of the state of Nevada,
which he represented in the United
States Senate, was born in Lyons, N.
Y, August 9, 1927. He spent his youth
in Ohio and, when quite young, be-
came a teacher in that state. With
his savings he hoped to get a classical
education. He entered Yale, but when
the gold fever broke out, he discontin-
ued his studies and went to Nevada
county, California, where he prospected
for gold. He was not successful, how
ever, and soon deserted the mining
camp to devote himself to the practice
of law. After he had been admitted to
practice in 1852 he entered the field of
politics and was elected district attor-
of the Comstock lode litigation in 1850
by which time he was citizen Of Ne
vada. He helped to make the territory
a state and in 1864 he was elected
United States Senator for the first time
He was sent to the United States SEN
ate four times the last time in 1893
In the course of his career he has
gained and lost several fortunes After
he left the senate in 1905 he was Imam
cially embarrassed. but since then he
has made another fortune in mining
enterprises. While in Washington, d.
c., Senator Stewart was highly popular
and was known throughout the city as
"Old Santa Claus" owing to the fact
that he wore a long white beard, which
gives him a patriarchal appearance.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
HOW THE GIRLS PROPOSE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Upright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

The leap year question, "Shall the
girls propose?" is again up for discus
sion
Those who advocate the right of
feminine initiative say:
There is no good reason why man
should have the exclusive privilege of
taking the first step. 1t is simply a
MATTER OF CUSTOM. And the Gus
tom is relic of the days when women
did not amount to much and were
given little to say, being in effect the
slaves of men.
On the other hand, say the opponents
OF a change:
To make woman the prime mover in
marriage proposals is to destroy the
true conception of the family Man is
the HEAD OF THE FAMILY, say
these conservatives. He SUPPORTS
the family. Therefore it is his pecul-
lar province to make the first advance
in the founding of the family.
And the others retort:
1t is not always true that the man
IS the real head and support of the
family. And, if it were true, it does
not follow that woman is less interest
ed in the family and the home. The
woman takes home and family the
more seriously. To MAN marriage is
an EPISODE; to the WOMAN it is
EVERYTHING.
And there you are.
However, as a matter of fact
Women usually Do propose.
They may do it as Priscilla in 1.-THE
Courtship of Miles Standish" did it.
They may say, why don't you speak
for yourself, JohnT'
Or as Patti did
When the lover of the great prima
donna said to her. "All Paris says we
are engaged" she replied: "Well. why
not? 1 am sure | should be happy"
| In most cases, while the girl may not
actually propose in WORDS she pro-
poses in ACTIONS. And actions speak
louder than words.
Few young men will care to propose
who have not received some form of
real encouragement, some assurance
Of the acceptance of their suit. And
the bright girl knows very well how
to give the tacit assurance IN AID
VANCE of the formal engagement
Let no one worry about the lack of
woman's opportunity or her ability to
use her opportunity. Given the RIGHT
MAN, the girl will find the way.
The girl knows how TO propose. She
does it by making the man propose.
And she does it without surrenderina
her maiden modesty.

DOES YOUR EMBLEM
BELONG TO YOU?
Law Against Wearing Fraternal Emblems Unless the
Wearer is Entitled Thereto Is Being
Enforced Over State

There are a number of persons
wearing badges or emblems of secret
societies in this county who are not
members" said a well-known business
man today This is a Unable offense
and the matter is being investigated.
More than likely a number of the Of
tenders will be prosecuted. If they
continue to wear pins and emblems
without right they will be, that is a
sure thing"
The prosecuting attorney was asked
about the law and he turned to Burns
revised statutes and read, In substance,
that whoever not being a member of
a secret society fraternity or other
organization which has adopted an
emblem shall wear the pin or emblem
of any such society or organization
shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction shall be fined not ex-
ceeding $50, to which the court ex-
penses will be added.
The following from the Indianapolis
News will be read with interest in this
connection:
Are you a Mason? If not, do not
wear a Masonic emblem or watch
charm.
Jurors in the police court Monday
afternoon caused Charles Hammer, a
professional bondsman. to sit up and
take notice when they returned YER
diet of guilty against him as defend
ant on the charge of wearing an en-
blem of a secret order of which he
was not a member. The jurors recon-
mended the maximum punishment of
$50 and costs, and then to make the
punishment more severe, all OF them
filed claim for jury fees, which Ham
mer will have to pay If he settles for
the fine
For several months Hammer wore
ROYAL Arch Masonic emblem in the
lapel Of his coat and a Masonic en-
blen on his watch charm. He was
warned that he would get IN trouble.
