The Democratic candidate for gov
ernor has not only proved himself to
be skillful tax dodger, but an adroit
evader of answering questions pro-
pounded to him. These evasions
should be remembered by the people
in comparison with the honest and
open expressions of the Hon. w. E.
Glasscock, the Republican candidate
for governor, who stands squarely
on every question affecting their in
terests and on all policies that are
for the betterment of conditions in
the state.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Enclosed find $3.50, for
your Jeffersonian Magazine. Words are in
adequate for me to express my feeling of ap-
probation to you for your publications.
| have reached the 80th mile board in life;
have been worker in the reform cause from
its earliest incipiency, the thought Of which is
the pride of my life and now if there is one
word [ could say that would help to hold up
your hands while you make the grand fight
or in other words, cast one ounce of weight
iii the reform cause, it would afford me
pleasure that can come to no one who has not
labored all these years for the vindication of
the rights of the great common people,
May you live to see the people appreciate
your efforts, is my prayer,
With best wishes,

LETT ERS from THE PEOPLE
THE JEFFERsoN1AN.

never 'wobbled on the spindle,o and, Of
course, delighted with the perusal Of your pro-
auctions, which morally, socially and politi-
cally accord with my own convictions. Next
to Holy Writ [ prize all your productions
You are educating the people to a compre-
hension of the deplorable financial condition
imposed upon them by systematic gamblers
couraged by public officials and old-party
leaders who betray public trusts and are,
therefore, traitors to constituents and coun-
try.
Populism is stamping it's creed on the pub
lie conscience. The old party press and the
old party leaders attempt to ignore our name
and principles, but every basic, sound po-
litical measure they advocate in dead earnest
is flched from our Omaha platform either in
language, substance or spirit. At times the,
old Demo-Reps forget themselves, and adopt
the identical measures proclaimed In our
Second Declaration Of independence. "
Yes, indeed: "Populsm will come again. "
Let all patriots, irrespective of past party af-
fliations, strike now, in 1908 while the iron
is hot and the sparks flying all over the polit-
zeal shop.
Respectfully,
P. III. LAREY.

Dear Sir: Your editorial in this weeks
weekly, ''Wall Street Heroes,' is in exactly
the same line as have been talking to my
friends about this panic we have now.
It is strange to me that some people seem
to use good sense and judgment about all bus
mess except affairs Of general government.
consider it a very simple matter to control
the money power. But getting people to I'M
derstand it and then forcing their law MAX
ers to obey their will is hard thing. As
general thing [ believe the law makers give
us as good laws as we demand But how
many actual demands" do they getf You
demand the money of the Constitution and
SO do I. And so do few others. But what
about the other 100000 voters7 How
many of these vtoers know what they vote
for? IF they had to stand rigid examina-
ton on the matter do not believe more than
one out of five hundred would get his Sheep
skin" Political ignorance is the bane Of
the u S. Government. How easy it would be
for that 100000, 900" gold reserve to be ap-
piled on the public debt, thus stopping lot
Of expense In the way of interest, and at the
same time getting part of the money into gen.
eral circulation. Then the good work could be
extended by issuing "greenbacks and paying
public expenses with them instead of taxing
the people for funds. By doing this it would
enable the people to keep what money they
have now on hand, and at same time put more
money into circulation. And this would Tin
my notion) put Mr. Wall Streeter back into
his hole and beg for mercy. And there are the
tariff and many other things that could be
used as "patchesu on our leaky financial
fabric. But the money powers DEMAND 9th
erwise and get their demands granted And
the common people just go on and Fvote her
straight" and get what their ignorance de-
mands

PORTABLE SCHOOLS
AWAIT INSPECTION
Eight Buildings Ready, But
They Cannot Yet Be
Put to Use.

Although eight of the much discussed
portable schools have been completed.
and the crowded schools they were in
tended TO relieve are IN more need than
ever OF their use. the schools must lie
idle until the three District commission
ers recently appointed for sanitation
fire protection. and building safety ia
the schools, make inspections and report
on them to the Board OF Education.
The recent accident in one OF the
portable schools, in which a foreman
was dangerously injured by the col
lapse Of the ceiling, and his subsequent
statement in the hospital that the sup
ports were insufficient, caused the Board
Of Education 70 decide that the schools
would not be accepted until there was
some assurance from expert sources
that the schools were safe for the chill
dren. The Inspections have not been BE-
gun vet, and IL may be weeks before
they are completed
The schools are OF the one-r0om type.
with a capacity OF from forty to forty
eight pupils each.
