To the Boys and Girls.

From all parts Of the country young
people write to me for information. Some
want dots for debate, some need
ideas for an essay, some inquire for the
missing word in newspaper contests. A
man or boy or girl who writes to an editor
for the missing word, in order that the
man or boy OF girl may get the piano, or
other prize, is almost past praying for.
Heavens If | knew the missing word
wouldn't [ sail in, ahead of everybody,
and get the piano?
But have a sincere sympathy for the
young people, and the old people, too,
who want to learn. None of us know any
too much. The moment any human crea
ture becomes complacently satisfied with
himself and with his environment and

bob up serene1y, smilingly, with an opin-
ion and few remarks.

And at time when even Illinois goes

Flow can any true-hearted Populist
support Bryan for President when his
position on the money question is SO I'm
sound? He believes in a currency sys-
tenn made up of gold, silver, and paper
redeernable in coin.
No Populist can support such candi-
date without repudiating his own prin-
ciplcs.
1t is the inherent right of every sover-
eign government to create money. It can
use paper as we'll as it can use silver and
gold. A paper dollar" made so by law
and the engraver, is just as truly a dollar
as the silver dollar, made so by law and
the engraver.
The metal was not a dollar until the
law was put behind it and the stamp Of
the government upon it. That which
changed the silver metal from commod-
ity to money, lifts the paper. in the same
way.

No Popnlist State or County Tickets.

The friends of Governor Smith, in GER
tain parts of the State, are saying that the
Pops want Joe Brown nominated so that
they can run man against him and beat
him.
This rumor is every bit as true as that
alleged Cobb county advice to the ne
groes to go to the polls on June 4th ito
tell white men how to vote"
The Pops are not going to put Out
state ticket or county tickets.
They are going to make an earnest eff
fort to carry Georgia, in the national cleo
ton, for native Georgian and they be.
lieve that they can do it.
If Hoke Smith wins in the June pri-
mary, he will be Governor
If Joe Brown wins, he will be Gov
ernor
The new rule which Hoke Smiths com
mittee has put upon the Democratic
party in Georgia will drive into the
Populist ranks every self-respecting, in
telligent country Democrat, and in 1910
we will elect the Governor. Of course,
Hoke and his crowd may count him out,
as they counted Hines out, in 1894.

Weakness of the Hearst League.
CD 1t belongs to one man, who con-
trolls it absolutely by virtue of the copy
right which he took out on the name and
plan.
(2) Those who belong to it must do
just as Hearst says, or get out.
CD The platform, candidates, etc., are
all dictated by William R. Hearst.
CD The members of the Hearst League
have no more freedom of speech or &C
ton than the men who are employed on
the Hearst newspapers.
60 The Hearst platform declares for
the National bank theory of finance, and
no Populist can Join the League without
stultifying himself on the Money ques-
ton.
(6) Hearst not only favors Protective
Tariff, but the Ship Subsidy, the most
indefensible of all examples of Special
Privilege.
Cd Hearst denounces both the old
parties as rotten, but fuses first with
one and then the other.
(8) Hearst changes about too much
and seems to have no fixed convictions
90 The Hearst manager, SO far as
politics is concerned is the notorious Max
lhmsen, as corrupt man and as much
Of political criminal as Charles F. Muir
ply or Pat McCarren.

Connection with it will reflect no credit

purpose, and is foredoomed to the utter
