Rev. James Anderson, Pres. Geo. A.
Mcfarland of the state normal school,
and President Robertson. A large au-
dience manifested lively interest in the
occasion.
In the afternoon Rev. James Ander-
son and DR.. Robertson held simple
but impressive service in the parlors
of Wesley hall in formal recognition
of the purpose 70 which it would
henceforth be given.
Wesley normal is affiliated with the
state normal school somewhat as Wes-

university. 1t is under control of the
same board OF trustees and whatever
instruction shall be given will be UNI

Canvass for Funds.
A canvass for more funds will con-
tinue. AS soon as money is available
the building will be enlarged to ac-
commodate about forty girls and a
class room provided. Mr.. and Mrs. r.
L. Haylett have pledged $1,000 toward
the endowment for the support OF in
struction. Az soon as endowment is
adequate a teacher will be employed to
conduct classes In Bible history, Eng
lish, Bible and other appropriate SUBJ
Jects. The state normal school will
grant credits up 70 the measure OF six
term units for work done In Wesley
normal. How soon all this can be
realized viii depend upon the measure

are promoting the enterprise.

A GOOD INCREASE.
Dickinson Has Made Gain Of 500 Dur.
ing the Year.

Dickinson, N. D., Nov. S.-The can
vass OF the city for the Keiter Direc-
tory Co. was completed this week and
the result of the tabulation Of the
names of those residing in Dickinson
will be Of interest to all as the direc-
tory company found 5,e5s persons who
claim this city as their home.
A little over a year ago, when the
Elks lodge caused an enumeration 10
be taken, the canvass revealed 5,O3S
persons. AS each OF these canvasses
were made carefully it is a conserva-
tive estimate that the city has grown
over 500 in population during the past
fifteen months.

tinues, and there is no reason why it
should not, TIE 10000 mark for 1912

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-02-18

Our genial friend, Clark Howell, hath long
memory. He will not let Hoke Smith alone
concerning those campaign pledges. Still, some
of the promises were kept, and during the first
few months of his term, Hoke worked like
wheel-horse of reform. We believe in being
just With that first legislature of 1907, Gov
ernor Smith did much as any man could
have done The Jeffersonian fairly summed
up the work of that, the regular session, and
declared that much had been accomplished.
mo man could have done better" is what
we said, and we stand to it.
But the trouble with Ho<e was he got tired
too quick His breath gave out, or something
SO far as we could see, he made no further
progress as a reformer after the legislature adj
iourned. He refused to call an extra session,
rested quietly on the gubernatorial oars, and
began to cast cats eyes at Steve Clay's sena-
torial canary.
TO smooth the course for his senatorial race,
Hoke publicly relieved from censure the legis-
lature which had killed the reform bills; went
over to the early, snap primary tricksters; for
mulated new rules which would have put the

country counties under the feet of city
ward-heelers and mussed things UP on the
liquor question until nobody knew what he
did mean. Besides he made all the Confed-
crate soldiers mad on the pension matter.
Consequently, it became patriotic duty to
soak Hoke It was a good lesson to him, and
to Others Hereafter, no candidate for office
will risk his scalp by breaking his pledges and
going back on those who elected him.
Clark nags at Hoke about that 100000 per
wear that he promised to save us on freight
rates. 1t appears that no freight rate has been
reduced and that all freight rates have been
advanced. This is sad.
And Clark says that passenger rates are
where Zoe Terrell left them This, also, IS de-
pressing
Besides, we did not get that anti-lobby bill.
This is saddest Of all. The Jeffersonian did
hope that every lobbyist would be required to
take out license, dress in sky-blue clothes,
and wear a cow-bell But we didn't get what
we expected 1t is often so.
Then, again, Hoke has allowed them to
change the school-books on us; and his Rail
road Commission Chairman is out in card
telling us that unconstitutional railway mergers
are right good things, after all.
So we hardly know where we at, or what
we are coming to. Still, since that South Geor-
gia woman voluntarily kissed Joe Brown, we
have hopes that all is not lost.

The Lincoln Article.

From the Washington, D. c., Herald we clip
the following:
Mr. Tom Watson now blossoms forth
with sneering and belittling estimate of Abra-
ham Lincoln Why does Mr. Watson not
change his doleful tune occasionally, and give
us something cheerful-Mr Watsons estimate
of Mr.. Watson, for instance?'
The reference is to the editorial on President
Lincoln which appeared in the January num-
Der of our Jeffersonian Magazine.
Evidently the bright paragrapher of the
Herald skinned" the article, instead of read
ing it,-else he would not have said that it
sneered at Mr. Lincoln and belittled him. Yer
lily, Mr. Watson neither sneered at the martyr
President nor belittled him. 1t was not in the
EDITORS heart to do either the one thing or the
other.
What he meant to do was to analyze the sub
ject, and to apply those rules Of measurement
which, in the end, must decide the relative
worth and greatness of the worlds heroic men.
1t seemed to be about time for some one to make
the effort to stay the extravaganza Of eulogy
which is Transforming the human Lincoln into
a demigod,- hawless and infable That the
editorial should be classed as a sneering at
tempt at belittlement, simply proves that adu-
lation has already reached the point where it
does not allow freedom of speech in speaking
OF Mr. Lincoln. IF the artist paints the wart,
down with the artist although nature and not
the artist, was responsible for the wart We
protest earnestly, that Mr. Watson did not
sheer at Mr.. Lincoln nor belittle him. On the
contrary the editor has never written or spoken
of the martyr President save in terms of the
highest respect,
We could not honestly join in the verdict
which declares that Mr.. Lincoln was the great
est man that ever lived. We can not consci-
entiously class him as the greatest man Amer
lea has produced. We are far from believing
that Mr.. Lincoln was the only man of the
East, North and West who could have wealth
cred the storm Of the Civil War. With the al
most unlimited resources of the Union States
to draw from, with Europe constantly feeding
the lines OF battle that came down against the
South, with the incompetent and hopelessly di-
vlded Davis Government as the foe to conquer,
with the Southern States themselves furnish
ing to the Union Army hundreds of thousands

sunk in sordid ignorance, we give English edu-
cations to a few thousand Chinese and Japa-

DR.. Golfer very neatly disposes of the starv-
ing woman referred to by us, saying that at
ter ALL she didn't starve. Dear and honored

Oh my Christian brother-is there comfort
to you in charity which comes SO late as that?
This particular outcast was finally saved
but what of those hundreds who were not
saved those mothers who sold the babes they
could not feed? those suicides who could lind
release from suffering in no other way? those
pitful figures in the breadline waiting hours IN
the wind or rain or snow for morsel OF bread!
those nurnberless boys and girls, women and
men, driven by poverty into vice and crime!
those little ones who are cOoped up IN sweat
shops and factories in slavery that sacr1hces
the seed corn to Mammon? those white girls
who are Systematically bought and sold, for
immoral purposes, and held eternally captive
in the foul dungeons of prostitution?
Is there any spot in heathendom as bad as
Pittsburg? Is there any blight OF pagan1sm
worse than the Black Peril which hangs over
our white women? Is there any portion OF the
unknown and the message Of Christ more I'M

The Wesleyan Christian Adb0cafe and
Foreign Missions.

Our esteemed neighbour, above named raps
the old man smartly because of his attitude on
Foreign Missions. Glad of it. Let's all wake
up, and look around us, and jaw one another
awhile, and thus learn something. Stagnation
is the thing which kills. You have no idea
how much better sermons would be preached,
if the congregation would form the habit of
denying what they know is not the fact, and of
demanding evidence for questionable state
ments.
Many preachers are shallow and dull be-
cause nobody rouses them by hitting back.
And many congregations are stagnant because
they don't dare challenge anything the beloved
pastor says.
The Jeffersonian believes that the cause of
Truth, of Right has nothing to fear from
full discussion. Most shields have two sides;
most questions admit of honest differences Of
opinion
Isn't that so, Brother Golfer? Now them
about this matter of Foreign Missions.
Mr. Watson has never said that the preach
ing of the Gospel to the heathep is wrong. On
the contrary, he has contended that the Good
Book commands that very thing. Christ tells
us to carry his message to all the world.
The point that Mr. Watson makes is, that
it is not our duty to make the heather star
boarder, at our expense, while we are deliver
ing the message. Jesus did not say that we
must feed clothe and educate the heather, Go
we, AND PREACH" That's the command.
Nothing said about running expensive COM
rnissaries, boarding schools, furnishing food
and clothing to yellow children and brown chill
dren, while giving them free education.
Yes, Brother Cofer Mr.. Watson has read
those books telling of the glorious work of
Crawford and Allen and JudsOn. He has no
disposition whatever to belttle these heroes OF
Christian civilization He admires them great
ly But he puts this question: If the same
vast sums of money that have been spent among
the yellow and brown people-clothing them,
feeding them, and EDUCATING THEM IN
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE-had been
spent among the unCOnverted, the ignorant
and the destitute of Our own land, would not
the results have been far greater, and equally
pleasing to God?
1t must cost at least ten times as much to
convert and educate in English, Chinese boy
or girl as it costs to convert and educate a
white boy or girl of our own country. Are
not the souls of our American boys and girls
as precious to Christ as the souls of these pig
tail folks of the Orient?
According to the newspaper reports, there
are 5000 children in the City of New York,
who 90 to school hungry. In almost every
American city, there is similar condition In
the mountainous regions of the Southern
States, there must be tens of thousands OF
boys and girls growing up in utter illiteracy

FAMILY DROWNED
IN RESERVOIR

Denver, July 3.-(Special.) George
Fuller, aged 40, prosperous farmer of
the wellington district, Laramie coun-
ty his wife, Minnie Fuller; their two
daughters, Ellen, aged Ii, and Gladys,
aged II, and their ten-year-old son
John were drowned in Reservoir No. 8,
near Wellington, while on a fishing
trip this afternoon. Gladys was stand
ing on the edge of the bank where the
water was ten feet deep, when the
bank caved in, precipitating her into
the lake. She cried for help, and Ellen,
who was near by, jumped in to save
her sister. Neither could swim, and
they sank twice before John could
reach them. John could not swim a
stroke, but bravely plunged into the
water to save his sisters. The girls
grabbed his arms, and this made him
helpless. He pleaded with them to re-
lease his arms, but they only held the
stronger. John called loudly for help,
and attracted the attention of his
mother and father who were several
hundred yards away. Mrs. Fuller
reached the drowning children first
and leaped into the water, believing it
to be shallow. The three children
grabbed her in their hopeless efforts to
save their own lives. and all four be-
gan sinking. By this time Mr.. Fuller
reached the spot and jumped in. He
was a powerful NAM and fine swim
mer, but could do nothing with his wife
and the three children clinging to his
arms and legs. All five finally sank to
the bottom. The tragedy was wit
messed by Everett Fuller, the six-year-
old son, and a brother of Johnny, who
harnessed up a team of horses and
drove for help. The bodies have been
recovered.
