When asked about conditions as
he found them elsewhere, State Bull
lion Tax Collector Haley, who ar
rived here Wednesday TO look over
the camp. said last night that he was
surprised and pleased with the im-
provement TO be noted in every coun-
ty he has visited. including all but
two of those in the state.
"Godfield is livelier than in a year
and bullion production is rapidly in
creasing, said he. Business is re-
spending in all lines and idle men are
scarce there.
This applies also 10 Tonopah.
where foreign labor is being rapidly
displaced by skilled miners.
Lincoln county is also showing eff
fects of revival Phoebe, idle for
quarter of century, is now shipping
two cars of ore TO Salt Lake each
week. Old properties are being re-
opened and many miners are now at
work Phoebe is showing effects of
revival and saloons and restaurants
are now open night and day.
Storey county Is better now than
for ten years. More miners are en-
ployed at Virginia City than for the
past decade
Churchill is coming up. So is
Humboldt with Chaffee and Seven
Troughs. Elko is getting better.
Edgemont is working and two smelt-
ers are now being built in that coun-
ty.
"Washoe with Jumbo and Cling
house is going 10 pay bullion tax and
all lines of trade are better than for
nearly a year.
"Ormsby county is now being in
vaded by prospectors and mining in
yestors and a revival is in progress
Douglas and Lyon counties are also
picking up. The cry of hard times
is not being heard in any of these
counties and everyone believes that
the depression is past and another
era of prosperity is dawning. Lander

RESENT INACTION.
The news of the action of the eoun-
ty commissioners In turning down
the petitions for the establishment of
voting precincts for the mines was
learned of here last night with many
expressions of anger. It Is felt that
the board deserves a dose of tar and
feathers at the very least for perpe-
tration of the outrage represented in
this refusal to put voting precincts
where the miners can get to them and
cast their ballots. 1t is felt that a
direct step has been taken TO de-
prive the miners of the vote they are

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-08-13

On last Thursday night, Tom Watson en-
tered the enemy's country and delivered the
first Populist address he has made in Angus
ia for years. Standing room was at a prem
ium, and many could not gain entrance to the
Grand Opera House, wherein he spoke. It
was signal evidence Of the fact that all the
old fractional bitterness has passed away, and
that our leader has battered down, by sheer,
answering consistency, devotion to Jeffer-
sonian principles and constant championship
of the rights Of the South the old barriers Of
prejudice which at one time in the ungrateful
years seemed mountains high. He is recog-
nized as the representative of the purest party
ever known to Amrican politics, and as the
most forceful figure in modern craftsmanship
and these are the reasons which bring the
crowds out to hear the new-old gospel Of
Equal rights to all, special privileges to
none" Hon. James L. CARTRIDGE, in introduc-
ing the speaker gracefully said:
"We have met tonight to do honor
to a distinguished Georgian who is an author,
litterateur and statesman. A man who, by
his ardent zeal and persistent devotion to the
political principles Of Jefferson and Jackson,
has won name and fame as wide as this
continent and enduring as time itself. A man
whom the great common people love and de-
light to honor, not alone for the enemies he
has made, or for the service he has rendered,
but for the strong and manly fight he is now
making against baneful party slavery and
political discrimination against the South.
cit is with profound pleasure, ladies and
gentlemen that [ present to you Hon Thos
E. Watson, populist nominee for the presidency
of the United States, the highest office in the
gift Of the American People"

Watson's speech, because of the limited space,
but in view of the vicious efforts made in

THE JEFERSONIAN.

certain quarters to ascribe to him fondness
for Taft, it is well to quote in full this ring
ing language which covers his opinion of both
the Republican and so-called Democratic
party:
'How are you going to tell a democrat?
You tell a republican because he stands for
special privileges for corporations, for the
interests Of the few against the rights of the
many. Oh, how hate them from head to heel,
with mind and soul! If it were in my power
[ would. crush out the political life of Taft
and his party before the rising Of tomorrow's
sun. But what about the democrats? They
will not stick to a system. They are fiuctuat-
ing and will not follow any plan for any length
Of time. In 1896 Bryan and [ stood on the
same platform, think of it, At that time [
believed principles we're eternal but Bryan
has changed since then. If you attempt to
follow the democratic party around now you
will have the blind staggers or else come down
to a state of mental imbecility. Bryan made
the kind Of speeches then that [ did. You
voted then for the principles I stand for and
if you do not do it now you are no longersa
democrat. If Bryan was democrat then he
is not one now.
bryan is now catering to Wall street,
gone back to the unconstitutional money
system by which spectators force a
financial stringency at any time. This joke
about injunction and immigration in reference
to the labor question is absurd. Bryan has
not said word against European immigration,
though he has talked against Asiatic immigra-
ton in an effort to catch western votes.
GAS for me I stand on the national bank
question side by side with Jefferson, Jackson
and Calhoun. [ take the same stand on the
tariff question. Why condemn me because I
stand on the principles Of my fathers? I want
you to stand firm by your conviction and work

to bring back the old time prosperity of the
days before the war;
Returning to the "Peerless' fraud of
Nebraska, Mr.. Watson said
'Bryan is catering to the negro element. He
is so certain that he has the vote of Georgia
and the south in his hands that he is now
figuring plans whereby he can obtain the
negro vote Of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois The
negroes are yet agitating the Brownsville
question and they we sent delegations over to
Fairview Mr. Bryan's home. They've been
received with smiles and fed on fried chicken
Oh, think of it! The head Of the Afro-Ameri-
can league is dallying with Bryan. Make him
speak out and tell you how he stands on this
question. Watch and see what the Chronicle
will say about this matter. What will The
Herald say? The Charleston News and Courier
has already spoken. The Baltimore Sun has
spoken and you have right to know if fried
chicken is to be used to get the negro vote.
I alone stand for disfranchisement. Hardwick
and Gov. Smith claim some credit for it, but
it was [ who swung the populist support to
the measure which now guarantees you freedom
from negro domination in politics and I am
the lone exponent Of this doctrine in the
national campaign.
II long so much to see the time when we
shall have two parties in the south in which
white men can participate It means freedom
Of thought and expression, it means higher

ANOTHER BOND ELECTION
TO Be HELD APRIL 18TH
Proposition to Builda Six Room School
Budding to Be Submitted to
avote.

lhe need OF additional school
room for the schools of the city of
Bemidji, is again called to the tax
payers in legal notice in another
column of this paper, which calls
for a special election to be held in
the Central school building on
Thursday afternoon, April Is, COM
mencing at 4:30 o'clock.
Those who favored the proposition
of building a new high school build
ing have laid this proposition aside
and ask for an expression of the
people on the bonding of the dis
trict for $4,000 school to be located
on what is known as the Catholic
church property,
It is the intention of the board
to build a solid brick, six-room build
ing and for that purpose ask that
the district be bonded in the sum
of $4,000.
1t is certainly absolutely necessary
that additional school room be furn-
ished for the school children of the
city Of Bemidji by another year, and
six-room building will no more
than supply the immediate wants at
this time.
The district at present is paying
rent for two rooms in the downtown.
district. Nearly 200 pupils are obliged
to attend school but half a day
each day and it can readily be seen
that additional room must be pro-
vided.
Those who have opposed the
erection of a $4,000 high school
building have suggested this plan,
and tor the sake OF the children and
for what is deemed their absolute
right, this proposition should carry
and theI much-vexed school PROPOSE
ton settled, tor time at least.
The school board deems that it is
the wish of the majority of the
voters in the district that a central
high school building be erected
which will be a credit to the town.
The contention of the opposition to
this is that ward building should
be built on the old Catholic church
property and it is this proposition
which is submitted and the voters
should give it their hearty support.

council held last evening consid-
cradle business of Importance to the
city was transacted.

he was under governmental rules
he was unable to hold the position
of alderman and postmaster. The
resignation was accepted and the
appointment of his successor was
laid over until next meeting.
The bill of Doran Bros, for re-
pairing meters was referred to the

THOUSANDS OF ACRES
FOR NORTH STAR STATE
Beau|ieu Case Decided in Favor of
Minnesota. 100000 Timber
on Lands Effected.

Washington, April 3.-The SUI
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia has decided case in favor of
the secretary of the interior the
effect of which will be to turn
over to the State of Minnesota
several hundred thousand acres of
land, the timber alone on which
is said to be valued at considerably
in excess of 100000. The case
was brought by Gus A. Beauleau,
who, acting on behalf of the Chippe-
wa tribe of Indians, sought to re-
strain the secretary from turning
the lands over to the state. The
Indians claim the lands should be
sold and the proceeds divided among
them. Secretary Garfield decided
that the lands should be given to the
state under an act of congress giving
to it lands that were swamp in
character
The lands are located on. the
coded Chippewa Indian reservation
in Minnesota. On behalf of Secre-
tary Garfield a demurrer was filed
which set forth that the State of
Minnesota was an essential party in
the case, in fact a codefendent, and
that under the eleventh amendment
to the Constitution state cannot
be sued by one of its citizens, and
Beauleau's petition for an injunction
should be dismissed.
The court took this view of the
matter and dismissed the petition,
stating in addition that the legal
title of the land was at present in
the United States and only the
equitable title was in the Indians,
and that courts have uniformly re-
fused Ito interfere with allotments
where the title was thus divided.
