The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-08-20
The President and The Farmers.

Abortion Of the press is .crltlclslng Mr..
Roosevelt for his suggestion that some
thing be done to improve home-life On
the farm. In certain quarters, the farm
ers themselves are reported to resent the
insinuation that home-1ife on the farm
needs improvement. Mr. Hearsts papers
are particularly sarcastic and hot-col-
Jared on the subject, and they handle the
President very roughly indeed.
1t 50 happens that we have talked to
the President about this very matter, and
we know that his intentions are most
commendable No farmer who comes to
understand what the President is driving
at could take the slightest offense On
the contrary, he would be grateful for so
intelligent a sympathy as that which in
spires the Presidents efforts to do some
thing to make farm life more attractive
1t has been our lot to address hundreds
Of audiences of country people. We have
never failed to be impressed by the fact
that the faces Of most of these country
folk bear the evidences of the hard life
of the farm. How could it be otherwise?
The men, as rule, labor under the
most trying difficulties If they own or
rent small farms where they themselves
do the work, the drudgery lasts from
before sun-up> every morning, until after
shutdown in the evening Winter,
spring, summer, autumn-it is work,
work, WORK, with almost no season of
rest and recreation. They must expose
themselves to all kinds of weather, and
many ailments due to this exposure rack
the body with pain, or sap its vital
strength

THE JEFERsON1AN.

dictionaries began to gain ground after
that?
Now, there MUST have been some
reason for the Governors change of pro-
gramme-what was it
HE WAS TIRED OF BEING Gov
ERNOR, AND WANTED TO RUN
FOR THE SENATE.
For several months the Governor con-
templated making the race, and it was
with great difficulty that his friends dis
suaded him from his purpose.
That's the secret of his sudden sOmer
sault, and that's the true reason why the
reactionaries controlled the next regular
session of the legislature.
Just one more point: The moment Mr..
Watson noted those new rules which
Governor Hoke and Boykin Wright had
concocted he understood their true pur-
pose. To bury Populism, as we'll as Wat
son, was the object aimed at, and the
great fight was to be in 1910. AS bat
tie was inevitable, Mr. Watson chose the
time instead of letting the other fellows
choose it. Those new rules would have
established political despotism in Geor-
gia, with Hoke Smith and Boykin Wright
and Lawton Miller as the bosses.
The Jeffersonian never rendered better
service to the country than it did when it
helped to knock the life out of that ne
farious scheme.

buy clothing and food sufficient for COM
fort and health, nor to furnish their homes
with those convenences which are so
necessary to good-living. Such homes
are rarely frightened by magazines,
books, and high-class weekly and daily
papers. Such homes too often are dreary
proofs of the poverty and struggle of the
family.
But if the men are prematurely bent
and stiffened by this constand tread-mill
round on the small farm, who can exag-
gerate the cruel inroads it makes upon
the women?
A plump, rosy country girl marries her
sweetheart and they go to housekeeping.
They are poor, and must work their way.
In year or so children begin to come,
and the young wife must be nurse, as
we'll as housekeeper. It is too often the
case that the wife not only has to cook,
but she does the sewing, the milking and
the washing. In some cases she does all
this and then helps in the farm work, be-
Sides With the shock of the system which
child-bearing periodically gives with the
constant drain On the system which child
nurture involves with the never-ending
tasks about the house, at the lot and in
the field; with an occasional sick child to
nurse throughout many sleepless nights
is it any wonder that farm life breaks
down many woman at an age when she
ought to be in the full bloom of strength
and beauty?
Even in those cases where the farmer
owns his hundreds Of acres, and runs
many plows, the life is hard one. There
is the eternal labor question, keeping
the employer anxious throughout the
year He never knows when those upon
whose work he is dependent will walk
off, leaving his crop to go to ruin. His
wife never knows when the duchess who
reigns in the kitchen will send word that
she is indisposed, making it necessary for
his wife to do the cooking.
Every trust in the land hits the farmer
HE PRICES NOTHING THAT HE
BUYS, AND NOTHING THAT HE
SELLS. He pays the price set by the
other fellow when he buys, and he &C
cepts the price the other fellow fixes be-
fore he can sell.
He pays the larger proportion of the
taxes which support the most extrava-
giant government on earth, and he gets
nothing from the government but rank
injustice which keeps him poor.
In favor of the Tobacco Trust, the gov
eminent has made laws which give rise
to Night Riding, arson and MURDER
Night Riding being the armed protest of
the farmer-victims of vicious laws and a
criminal Truc+

posed to the extra session. his language
in public and private can not be recon
ciled with his purpose. Even in his Nc
Rae speech, November II, 1907, he held
out the prospect of an extra session. Read
the speech, and see for yourself.
But in this McRae speech the Govern
or astonished his supporters by declaring
that he had no adverse criticism to place
on the men in the legislature who had
killed his reforms.
These men constituted the majority of
the legislature, and when he expressly dis
claimed any intention of putting blame
upon them CONSERVATION seized his sup
pOrterS.
The Jeffersonian, then and there, took
Governor Hoke to task, as our readers
we'll know. Consult any file of the Jeffer-
nonian for November, 1oo7-not the mag
azine, but the weekly.
We warned the Governor that he had
made fatal mistake, just as we warned
him that he was making mistake in not
calling an extra session.
Had Gov. Smith listened to his loyal
supporter, Watson, and called the extra
session, in the fall or winter of 1907, the
been entirely different.
And after all, he has been driven by
events to take the Watson view of the
case-but he was too late about it. HIS
FATAL BLUNDER IN LOSING
PRECIOUS TIME IN 1907 GAVE THE
CORPORATIONS A BREATHING
SPELL WHICH THEY SORELY
NEEDED, AND THEY MADE THE
VERY BEST USE OF HOKE'S MIS-
TAKE. They are now so strong that
even the frightful exposures concerning
the Convict Lease System do not shatter
the corporation phalanx.
Think how keenly Inundated Seab
Wright must have been when the fellows
whom Governor Hoke relieved from criti-
cisnl, voted down a simple resolution to
request Congress to keep Tennessee and
Florida from deluging Georgia with fire
water. The resolution was laid on the
table, upon Seab's own motion! Poor
Chap! He saw that he was up against it.
Now, at what time did this reaction
set in? WHEN GOVERNOR HOKE
TOOK THE BACK TRACK He did
not march steadily on with his reform
speeches, as he had promised. He made
speeches in various places, but his sub
ject was Education"
And the worst of all was that public
announcement that he, our Chief Magis-
trate, DID NOT BLAME THE LEGIS-
LATURE FOR GOING BACK ON
THE PEOPLE.

dreds of miles from its mouth. At
the northern part of the mouth oc-
ours curious phenomenon, called
by the natives ''pororoca." During
the full and the dark Of the moon
the tide reaches its highest point
for a few minutes only. AS soon
as this tide begins to come in a
rumbling roar can be heard far
away, distance of five or six miles.
It is the pororoca approaching. This
roar increases with the coming of
the wave, which is from thirteen to
thirty feet in height and covers the
entire width of the channel. An
other wave follows Immediately,
then a third and sometimes a
fourth. After these waves have
passed, the impetuosity and force of
which nothing can resist, the tide

Some Familiar Lines That Are Con-
stantly MisQuoted.


Critics who assert that we get
more slovenly and careless every day
in speech, manners and customs
have proof of part of their assertion
at any rate in the manner in which
the writings of famous authors are
continually being misquoted and
distorted. In Coleridge's "Ancient
Mariner" are these words: ''Water,
water everywhere, nor any drop to
drink" Ninety-nine people in a
hundred say "snd not a drop to
drink" for the last line.
Again, how often we hear people
sing, "Rule, Britannia, Britannia
rules Gnstead of rule) the waves"
and quote Macbeth as saying,
"Screw your courage to the sticking
point" instead of sticking place. !"
Those two familiar lines of Samuel
Buffers, "He that complies against
his will is of his own opinion still"
are usually misquoted as, Convince
a man against his will, he's of the
same opinion STILL"
Shakespeare never wrote cts an
i'll wind that blows nobody good"
although this is the version general
ly given of the correct words from
"Henry w." which run, 'Tll blows
the wind that profits nobody" Ma
thaniel Lee is similarly treated in
regard to his phrase, "When Greeks
Joined Greeks then was the tug of
war;" which more often than not is
misquoted as, "When Greek meets
Greek then comes the tug of war"
money is the root of all evil" is
a travesty of the line from the first
Epistle of st. Paul to Timothy,
"The love of money is the root of
all evil" Another Scriptural pas
sage which is often incorrectly
quoted is the sentence from Prov
erbs, pride goeth before destruc-
ton and an naughty spirit before a
fall" The popular version is,
pride goes before fall"
That fine phrase from Wolfe's
poem, "The Burial of Sir John
Moore" which runs, "But we left
him alone with his glory" is very
badly treated by people who say,
"Alone in his glory" while the cor
rect words, as written by Longfel-
low, of the phrase SO often used,
Gall things come to him who waits"
are, Gall things come around to
him who will but wait. london

Durability of Glass.

1t does not seem odd to find inscrip-
tons written ages ago still visible on
the Tower of London or on the steeple
of some cathedral, but one would hard
ly look on a fragile pane Of glass in a
common window for characters 200
years old. A notable case in point Is
that of the old house in London where
in the notorious Jack Sheppard once
lived as carpenters apprentice. One
of the window panes still bears an in
scription cut in it by glaciers dia-
mond recording the name and address
of a man who preceded Jacks master
In that honse.
The inscription is, "John Woolley
Brand. Painter and Glazier. March IL.
1706."
That was nine years before the COM
ing to the house of the famous Jack
Sheppard and over 200 years ago.
