derful scenic and productive region, it

Sailing around WILDLY Island in a
boat, looking upon the many bold head
lands and the wealth of forest that
grows to the waters edge, the taveler
would hardly expect to find the beauti-
Jul homes everywhere met with in the
interior. The interior il q revelation
Well titled farms, the wealth Of the or
chard, smiling homes are seen on every
side. As an instance, the place OF e. II.
Van SAINT on Smiths Prairie, Az miles
from COupeville, can be mentioned. He
has 80 acres planted to apple trees that
last year produced over 5000 boxes of
apples for market, besides great guam
tity not sent out. His place is only one
in many. The small fruits do equally
well and are grown in abundance
Many wheat farms are encountered,
although small in extent compared to
the wheat farms of the PalOuse. But
WILDLY Island can take the pennant so
far as yield per acre is concerned.
Eighty and 80 bushels per acre is a
common thing, and one man last year
harvested 1O2 bushels to the acre on
small patch Of ground near town, some
thing, however, unusual and may be
looked upon as a phenomenon in any
country. And the roads in this garden
spot of the Pacific are the most perfect,
in all probability, of any to be found in
the state of Washington. Whether
skirting the shores Of the bays and inlets
it is at all times a pleasure to ride over
them, being smooth, hard and reasonably
free from dust. AS q consequence fine
drives are encountered on all sides, and
ranchers and townspeople alike enjoy
them at all seasons of the year.
WILDLY Island is a spot of Arcadian
quiet and beauty, not yet corrupted by
the land boomer, whose sinister and self
ish purpose is to create fictitious values
and then leave the country to float along
as best it may. Here peace and plenty
prevails; land for homes can be bought
for reasonable consideration, and long
life and happiness lies in store for those
willing to take it.

Editorial Notes.
BY J. D. WATSON.

The report that Thomas F. Ryan will
soon retire from active business to devote
himself to home life on his Virginia
estate comes as a surprise to many, but
to few it does not.
These few claim that Ryan has had po-
litical aspirations for several years, and
that his supposed retirement will only be
a step into politics.

upon their usual errands. London has
learned that if a plebeian is permitted to
do a little denouncing now and then, TN
disturbed, it promotes the action of his
liver, clears his brain of fever, and makes
better citizen of him, if not buster
one.
Chicago, apparently, will never learn.
Tier bull-necked and bu1l-brained Shaacks
and Hartnetts, years ago, drove group
of dreaming, sad-eyed German students
to madness with their clubs; and when
one of these poor fools filled piece of
gaspipe with gunpoWder, attached a fuse,
lit it and hurled the bomb into a squad
of policemen, killing and mangling sew
eral Of them, Chicago rose in her might
and slew the dreamers on the gallow
tree She had first bounded them from
their own little meeting places, hunting
them like wild beasts and denouncing
them IN her great newspapers (by way
Of making political capital for some very
cheap specimens later relegated to obscur
ity), and when her own lawlessness bore
its perfect fruit in the Haymarket massa-
ere, she broke their necks by way of vim
dicating her own virtue. Thus, she told
the world, she wiped out anarchy.
! Poor blind Chicago, not to know that
her worst anarchists were then, as they
are now, and bid fair always to be, the
men that have p1undered her treasury,
stolen her streets and public services, rob-
bed her school children by dod ging taxes,
brutalized her policemen by way Of sup
pressing popular revolt, muzzled her press
to shut off the complaints of the suppress
ed majority, stuffed her ballot boxes to
cheat the public will, and finally tricked
her people in her courts of justice-sorry
word for institutions SO perverted!
The measure of Our civilization is the
measure of the freedom we give each
other. m
Anarchy at the top of society makes
socialism at the bottom.

Were the GYeenbacks Burnt :?

Hon. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
My Dear Sir: There are a great many
gold and silver Democrats in this section
of country that claim there have never
been any greenbacks destroyed by fire or
any other way by the Government.
wish you to state in your paper the
amounts and dates as near as possible,
if not too much trouble. Very truly,

Reply:
The only way that any one can argue
the question with any hope of convincing
the average Democrat, is by using the
government reports.
1t ne will turn to page 22 of the u. S.
Statistical Abstract for 1886, he will see
that State-bank notes, Demand notes, one
and two year notes. Compound interest
notes, National bank notes, Legal tender

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

Gates are given in the official table as
parts OF the currency then in circulation.
Ii he will then turn to page 80 of the u.
;. Statistical Abstract for 1896, he will
find statement of the money in circula-
ton in 1906.
In this latter statement no State-banS
notes are mentioned. What had become
of them? Can the incredulous Democrat
answer?
On June 30, 1860, there were two hun
dred and seven million dollars of State
bank notes in circulation; on June 80,
1886, only one hundred and thirty-two
thousand remained.
What had become of the others?
In 1895, not one of the State-bank notes
remained. What had become of them?
Where are they now? Can any Demo
crat tell us?
Again in the statement for 1895, no De
mand notes are given. They were no Ion
ger in circulation. What had become of
them?
Neither were there any Compound in
terest notes or One and two year notes
left. What had become of them?
In the statement of 1886 it was shown
ClldL III IllC yCdl 1CO4 tHG vi GGIlDdCkS Ill
circulation amounted to $447 ,3oo,2o3.
In the table of 1895, the amount of the
Greenbacks in circulation is given at
$346,68I,o16
What had become of the others?
These two government reports will con-
vince any Democrat who is convincible.
The other sort can't be reached in this
world.
The State-bank notes were called in
and destroyed. The best way to destroy
paper is with fire; therefore the State
bank notes were burnt.
The Demand notes were called in and
burnt.
The One and Two year notes were
called in and burnt.
The Compound interest notes were
burnt. The Seven-thirty notes were burnt.
The Greenbacks were burnt-all but the
$346,68I,o16.
These would also have been burnt, had
it not been for the act of Congress (I878)
which put a stop to it.
In the Treasury building in Washing
ton, D. c., any doubling Democrat who
wishes to see, can see the furnace in which
retired currency is destroyed. It was
built for the purpose. And in that fur
mace the missing paper money of this
poor deluded people was burnt.

Some months ago one or two papers
were bold enough to suggest that Mr..
Ryan would be good man for the Demo
Gratis to nominate for President in 1908
because the South was entitled to furnish
the next Democratic nominee and Ryan
was Southern Democrat. At the same
time he would have the confidence of the
business interests Of the country-just the
combination the Democrats needed to
win.
This boom met with a worse freeze
than the Fairbanks boom, but it did not
worry Ryan, for Ryan hardly expected
the Presidency just at this time. His
sights were set on another Office SO these
few claim and it looks as if they know
what they are talking about
Mr. Ryan wants to go to the United
States Senate as one of Virginia's repre-
sentatives and his retirement from active
business means that he will make an eff
fort to gain that end. If the people of
Virginia have not awakened enough to
see Ryan's motive in time to defeat him,
they are to be pitied, for they do not need
such man to represent them in the Sen
ate.

litical aspirations the people can not be-
gin to move against him too soon, for
enough money can build up a political
machine that it takes the Strength of an
aroused people to overthrow.
The Senate is already strong enough
corporation body without the addition of
the Ryans, Belmonts and Morgans.
Now that the time for holding the
Spring courts all over the State is here,
our judges should get busy charging the
Vagrancy law to the Grand Juries, and
the Grand Juries should see that the ar
resting officers get busy.
This law, which was intended to help
the farmers, is almost a dead letter, and
simply because the officers do not perform
their duties.
Once you begin to enforce the vagrancy
law, farm labor will not be near SO hard
to get, and such crimes as petty larceny
will decrease wonderfully.
Every one knows that very few towns
iii Georgia have not a few loafers, and it
is by these loafers that many petty crimes
are committed Besides this, their exam
pie makes those who are naturally in
clined to work feel that it is easier to loaf
and live life of ease.
It may be true that some of these town
officers do not do their duty when they
permit loafers to hang around the towns,
but that is no bar to an indictment by

Sir Martin was second and Mr.. Knene's
Helmet was third
The race was run before 1000 spnc-
tators, the smallest attendance that
has gathered to witness the awarding
there of the historic prize in many
years. The new anti-betting laws and
the announcement of rigorous methods
to be adopted by the Coney Island
Jockey Club to prevent speculation
doubtless caused the reduction in mum

full Sheepshead course to see the run
ming of the race
The value Of the race was $25,10O to

Court Refuses to
Stop Sunday Ball.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 20.-The effort
which was made to have the courts
stop the Sunday ball game advertised
to be played at Bennett park between
the Cleveland and Detroit teams, died
in the circuit court when Judges
Brooke, Hosmer, Donovan and Roh-
merit gave a unanimous opinion denying
the writ of mandamus applied for by
Prosecuting Attorney Ierkes and
ment to compel Commissioner of Po-
lice smith to stop Sunday baseball in
Detroit The opinion follows:
The cases where the jurisdiction of
the court has been invoked to issue Il
writ of mandamus, under circum-
stances like the present, lead US to the
conclusion that the writ should not be
granted merely to supervise the action
of a police commissioner, or, under or
binary circumstances, to interfere
with his discretion in the manner of
enforcing the law. The weight of the
authorities is against the issuing of
the writ
The decision was announced after
listening to arguments made by ex-
Mayor Codd. who represented Com
missioner Smith. and Assistant Pros
ecutlnS Attorney EamanS, Who ap-
pearcd for the prosecutor
Codd argued that the judges We're
not compelled to grant the writ, which
is only granted as an extraordinary
measure where a great wrong is be-
ing done or where property interests
are at stake. and argued that the au-
thorities had an adequate remedy if
they wished to stop the game--the law
providing that the players can be fined
in police court; but Mr.. Eamans said
the police court fine for 90 players
would amount to only 500 and the
club would be very glad to pay that
amount every week for the privilege
of playing on Sunday. He pointed ont
that the law aims at stopping the
game, not at filming the players after
tho game has taken place.

ly defended the title of national tennis
champion on the Casino courts Satur-
day by defeating Beals c. Wright OF

tournament, in straight sets. The
scores We're ii, &c, Sc.
Never has a more brilliant exhibition
of tennis ever been seen on the Casino
courts than the game played by Larn-
ed today. His playing was Weil-nigh
perfect and not d single stroke of ms
was bungled. In the first two sets
Larned passed Wright so well that the
challenger did not dare come to the
net in the last set
On the other hand, Larned played
close to the net throughout the MATCH
running up on his own service rs well
as on the service Of his opponent
Wright tried ground balls and hobs, but
the champion returned nearly every
ball. Larned lost only two service
games in the entire match. while
Wright lost six.
