A MUCH APPRECIATED LETTER.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Your arti-
cles upon Foreign Missions are lead
ing people to understand who the
true missionary is and exposing the
hypocrisy of the assumed saints.
Of course epithets will be hurled
at their exposer, but it is only evil
oence that his shots have hit the
bulls eye
We have to expect the hypocrite to
spit his venom.
I wonder if any member of the
missionary coterie has ever read your
last great letter of acceptance, or
your wonderfully fascinating and
beautiful classic, "The Glory that
was Greece" The heart that is
bursting to convert the foreign
heather while leaving his home
heather to stumble into heaven as
they can, might gather an item or
two from such literature to assuage
his anxious soul.
Sincerely,
(MRS.) MARION TODD.

WANTS TO HEAR MORE OF So
CIALTSTS.

Editor JeffersOnian:-I notice in
Threlkel suggesting a union of re-
form forces, and he names bodies of
men, or party organizations, that
could likely be consolidated, the So
cialist party, the Independence party
men, and the Populists.

ciple standing in the way of the reali-
zation of such suggested union"
There are reasons" however, that
will prevent such a move from sue
ceeding at present.
While am not a member of either
organization I say without hesitation
l should be greatly pleased to see the
suggested union of the three parties
an accomplished fact. The Socialist
party men, | am convinced, for
know them, will pay at present little
or no attention to any overtures for
unity coming from either the Peo-
pies or the independence party. The
big men in the Socialist party will
scornfully and CONTEMPORARY reject
the suggestion that their party unite
with mere reformers. They, the So
cialist party leaders, will inform you
that they are not refOrmers, they are
revOlutionists. And they will point
with PRIDE to their big vote and
your little vote, and tell you that they
are progressive and growing while
you, the independence and Populist
parties, are reactionary and dying.
No, the Socialist party will not unite

THE DICK BILL.

exemption confined to members
of sect or organization whose creed
forbids members to engage in war.
-Editor.)
Dear Sir: Political and
Economic Handbook received. I am
pleased with it's fund of information.
1t Is we'll worth the price. But the
very information I wanted is not in
it, viz: The section or sections of
the Dick Military Bill, granting ex-
emptions from military service on
the ground of religious convictions.
A gentleman told me that it was
his understanding that all religion
lists from eighteen to forty-fve, both
clergy and laity, were not exempt
from military duty, unless they be-
longed to denomination whose
tenets forbade participation in civil
affairs, as the MennOnites, or as an
individual he had privately abstain
ed from voting and holding office,
and could make proof Of the same.
Here in Texas almost all Chris
tians vote, sit on juries, hold office,
and discharge all of the civil func-
tions Of government. Many of them
are opposed to capital punishment,
and bearing arms in time of war. Our
State guarantees to every citizen full
liberty of conscience. If he chooses
to remain at home, a Iaw-abiding
citizen, and refrains from all par
ticipation in civil or military mat
tiers, the State protects him. If he
chooses to vote and stop, or vote and
sit on juries and STOP or exercises
all civil functions and stop, the State
protects him. In short, the State
protects every man in the conscien-
tious discharge of what he conceives
to be his duty.
Not SO the Dick bill, if I am cor
rectly informed; hence my anxiety
to see the exception sections of that
bill, if there be any. 1t overthrows
all States rights, as you clearly
show and now if it overthrows the
rights of conscience as guaranteed
by the States, the people ought to be
fully advised in regard to this mat
ter.
You see the tremendous issues at
stake in event of war, foreign or do
nestle. All of this military prepara-
ton must some day find vent in war.
An armed peace" is only an invi-
tation to war, the moral preparation
for it.

Dear Sir:-Was there a law pre-
vious to the DECENTRALIZATION Act

Acts of 1866, these notes were

dollars per month for the first six

with you-not yet. Most of the rank
and file of the Socialist party really
believe themselves and their party to
be revolutionary. They have yet to
learn that a real revolution, such as
they profess to favor, can neither be
voted nor legislated into existence.
While the real Socialists of this
country look upon the rank and file
of the Socialists party as they do the
rank and file of all other parties, that
is to say, the working class element
Of them all, as honest and sincere as
their environment permits, neverthe-
less the claim of the Socialist party to
be revolutionary party is looked up
on as kind of joke.
To all Populists and other reform
ers sincerely desiring a new national
political organization so constructed
as to include in it's membership all
true reformers and who hope to see
the Socialist party included in it I
have this advice: Be patient. Wait
yet little longer. Another election
or so will take considerable of the
starch out of the Socialist party The
chef asset of that organization is it's
vote. Have you not heard their IA
vorite slogan, "Look at our vote"
Watch their vote hereafter; and you
will observe that as their vote de-
clines their slogan Of a big vote will
be used less frequently, and their
pompous, patronizing attitude assum-
ed towards mere reform organizations
will go as their vote goes. Then they
will listen to your suggestions for
Union Reform Party
If you can convince the Socialist
party that the only hope of increasing
their vote lies in their uniting with
the other reformers, then you are
most likely to get a hearing, and a
favorable one. The Socialist party is
merely reform party itself, though it
denies it; and the sooner it's real
character is understood by the work.
ing class the better it will be for all
parties concerned.
These letters from the people dis
cusslng the unity question, if not al
ways instructive, are at least interest
ing; and I should be glad to see more
of them. And among the letters pub
lished in The Jeffersonian I should be
glad to see one once in a while from

is A FRUIT TRUST FORMING?


Dear Sir:-I know you are a very
busy man, but / feel called upon to
ask a favor of you. I am enclosing
you a clipping from the Tampa Daily
Tribune of May IS, which includes
some of the work of our Florida
Legislature. AS you will find there
in a bill introduced by HUMPHREYS,
sent here by Mr.. Thomas Palmer
from California. I want you to give
your opinion of this bill. 1t seems
to me to be the laying of the founda-
ton of an orange and citrus fruit
trust.
To more fully explain, Mr. Thos
Palmer is one of the leading attor-
neys of Tampa, and has lately pur-
chased a fine grove near here valued
at $4,000 or $4,000, estimated,
and you will notice his name also
appears in the free-pass list in the
Com" report in the clipping.
He and number of the leading
growers from this State are in Cali
fornia, went there to study the plans
of the fruit growers exchange of
that State to see what could be done
that would be of benefit to the CT
trus fruit growers of this State.
Now, if those people that own
groves that are estimated to run
high up into the thousands of dol
lars, have right to complain of
their oppressed condition Chat is
their claim, which l am not doubt
ing), then how about the people
here in Florida that are engaged in
other callings who are not backed by
a substantial grove? know of a
lot of truckers that nave to depend
on what they have to plant from
year to year and have to pledge their
promise or land to get seed or fertil-
izer to start with, then have to take
chances on the markets just as the
fruit men do. Owing to the drought
of the past two years, lot of truck
ers lost about all they possessed.
Where will this bill help them if en-
acted into law?
Senator Taliaferro's and Congress-
man Frank Clark's names were in

are not in this list.
