MANS DUTY TO MANKIND. !"
Melmore, O., Jan. 25, 1909.
F. S. Taylor,

Melmore, O., Jan. %, 1909.
AS we are entering upon the duties
Of another year, we can not forget
that in addition to personal and home
affairs, we have social and civic du-
ties. To qualify us for the discharge
of these duties, we must understand
the relations of each social, CONNER
cial and political factor to every 9TH
er factor. To secure "square deal "
between them, not only intelligence,
but eternal vigilance, is imperative.
This is the lesson of all human expe-
rience in all history,-the tendency
of the strong to Cypress and enslave
the weak is a fact beyond question.
Hence, now, as in the past, lust for
power leads to unholy methods and
combinations to secure it.
No more diabolical pretense was
ever set up for enslaving men and wo-
men than this: cit is necessary for
the salvation of souls and the glory of
God" All honor to the faithful
Observation-Disclosures and Wayland-
for exposing the unholy alliance be-
tween Rome and Washington. But
king-craft and priest-craft have ever
had common object,-the industrial
enslavement of mankind. The Frank
Inns and the Jeffersons thought to in
augurate new era-an era of free
dom. But, alas instead Of crowned
kings and titled aristocrats, an aristoc-
racy of wealth with "the divine rights

Your suggestion about a conference

EFFORTS OF Mr.. WATSON PART

Dear Sir: You will please discon-
tinue my subscription to the Maya
zine, as / have no longer any interest
in politics, and care but little who
is president, now that the country is
rid of the one who has in my opinion
forfeited the respect of every level

Besides, I regard the efforts of Mr..
Watson as responsible for the defeat
Of Mr.. Bryan, who was the only man

The Hon. O. w. Gillespie, Washing
ton, D. C..
Dear Sir: Pardon me for again
writing you touching the financial con-
dition of this nation. Roosevelt has
recommended a revision of the none
tary laws, and it seems to me to be a
most appropriate time. for you to
make record in defense of govern
ment money,-the money Of the con-
stitution, the money for the masses,
and not the classes. 1t is time for
our Representative to rise in their
might and condemn the robber bank
ing system, stop the issuing of bonds,
and all other methods Of robbing the
people under the guise of law. If
government bonds are good, govern
ment money is better.
| realize that you are aware Of the
fact that this nation can not stand
long under such a financial system as
it is under now. There may be some
thing more Infamous than the Aid
rich bill as passed by the last Con-
gress, but it is hard to think Of We
will eagerly wait for the next move on
the money question.
Respectfully yours,

DEMOCRATS FEEDING TAFT
WITH TAFFY. -

It is with much pleasure that [ am
permitted to drop you few lines on
this my birthday. This date, Jan.
10Th, brings me up to the 18th mile
post. / can do nothing that will give
me more pleasure thant OF ak to you
little while on paper, as [ have lost
all hopes of seeing your face In the
flesh, but [ hope to see you in better
world.
I see the Georgia people have been
feeding Mr.. Taft on taffy, in big
chunks at that, and the Democrats
took no back seats either. 1t seems
that our Southern people have lost all
self respect. Take the masses today,
and they are all things to all men.
Well, I stood in the middle Of the
road and saw Bryan's last brigade
go by all tattered and torn, and his
rear guard of negroes with Bishop
Turner in the lead. It was truly a
sight for an American to look upon.
Please let me know If the reform
forces are doing anything more than
talking. | am so anxious to see some
thing done. [ will send you some
subscribers soon. Everything is at a
standstill as far as the farmers are.
concerned. Those that can hold their
cotton are holding it and not buying
anything, and they say they can see
no encouragement as to higher price.
I think that is a good idea of yours
to employ Sully to bull the price.
You are at liberty to publish any
part of this you see fit.

WILLING TO START REORGANI-
zATION MOVEMENT WITH
LIBERAL SUBSCRIPTION.

You said before the last election
! that you would call a national confer
ence Of the Peoples Party after the
election, and asked the members of
the party to say what they thought of
it.
| have been looking for the call,
but have not seen it up to this time.
AS member enlisted for life for the
principles, [ think the conference
ought to be called, and by February
%, 1909. Later than that will be too
late for the farmers this year, and that
is where the most Of our votes come
from. st. Louis or Oklahoma, City
ought to be the place for it,
1t seems to me that we should be
able to organize every state in the
Union by next November by putting
an efficient organizer out in every
state, he to organize every county, and
every county to organize every town
ship. In order to do this in Missouri,
| will give ten dollars, and if 80 more
will give the same amount it will or
ganize Missouri I believe there can
be found 100 people who will give the
amount, for | know that there are
more than that number that are able
to do so.
1t seems to me that the present ten
dency of affairs is sufficient to move
every Populist to action, for under
the present conditions we can not get
the votes we cast counted. [ have
been in possession of the fact that I
received fifty votes more than were
counted to my credit in this city. |
do not suppose that | have seen half
of the number Of men who voted for
me for Secretary of State. In the
contest going on in st. Louis between
the candidates for Lieutenant Govern
or, between the two old parties, | see
that the same thing was perpetrated
on the Socialist candidate by counting
his vote for the other two candidates
Of the old parties. They have been
doing this all the time, is my opinion.
If this will not arouse us, | fail to see
what will. They even tried to keep
me from voting the Peoples Party
ticket at the primry election; refused
to give me ticket, telling me that
they didn't have it, that the contest
was between the two old parties.

means of reconsecrating our lives to

AN UNUSUAL PHENOMENON.
Dr.. Brooks Finds Interesting Subject
fo- Astronomical Study.

Geneva, n Y, May 24.-An unusual as
Economical phenomenon. which had the
appearance of a comet close to the earth,
was observed early today at the Smith
observatory here by DR.. William X.
Brooks, professor of astronomy at Ho-
bart College In reporting his observa-
tons he says:
THE object was visible in the eastern
sky from to o'clock this morning. 1t
had the appearance of a gigantic naked
eye comet with a large head and a tail
of enormous proportions. When first seen
the head was in the great square OF
Pegasus and its tail stretched upward
toward the North star, at one time reach
ing the Chair of Cassiopeia. The motion
was rapidly eastward. At 80 A. NJ. the
head enveloped the Algenib and by 3
o'clock it had reached the horizon. soon
after the tail was lost in the rapidly add
vancng dawn.
Prof Brooks. WAC in the past 3, years

Der than any other living astronomer.
thinks that the phenomenon may not
have heen n comet but merely an I'M
usual manifestation of the aurora bore
alis. No other auroreal effect was visi-
bile. however. 1t the object was Il comet,
