When the Democrats in convention at Tam

From that day to this hour the Populists,

It was this gang that forced the Primary

The above is copy of letter just received
by due course of mail. [ have no reason to
doubt it's genuineness. In Chicago, as in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and other large
cities, white women are often inveigled into
dens where they are held for the use of negro
men. This fact is notorious. 1t may be that
the traffic has, for one of it's channels, the sale
of white women to negro men who want

Concluded from Page @

the JEFFERsoNIAN seems to have reached the
vanishing point. The Rev. W. G. Lovett, D.
d., disposes of the remnants, under the edi-
toral headline of "NeVer said It,"
What is it that the Doctor never said?
Q) That because l live in big house and
employ a stenographer and an overseer, | am
disqualified for the discussion of Foreign
Missions
DR.. Lovett bitterly denies that he said it.
All right, Doctor, if you didn't mean it, I
won't joke you about it any more. Hereafter,
In discussing principle or policy, leave off
all reference to your opponents house, stenog-
rapher and overseer. They have nothing to
do with the case, and the reference may be
turned against you, to your discomfort and
annoyance.
~ That the mission schools are self-sup-
porting DR.. Lovett VOWS that he never said
it. Then aohat did he jump on me for? had
charged that the missionaries were giving
free education to black, brown and yellow
heathen,-With books thrown in and, often,
board and clothing. Brother Y. p Scoville
first attacked me on this, and then came DR..
Lovett. Parson Scoville claimed that the mis-
sion schools of our Methodists 'are self-sup-
porting or nearly So" DR.. Lovett quoted
Scoville as one of his authorities, and chal-
lenged the correctness of my statements, ask
ing whether those statements we're due to
"PerSistent ignorance or a0ilf@ maasrepresenta-
t0n"
In a0hat respect did Dr. Lovett hold may
statements to be false?
My understanding was that he denied the
truth of what [ said about the schools.
[ venture to say that Dr. Lovett's readers
understood him the same way.
But since DR.. Lovett contends that he "nev-
er said it," [ must conclude that there was an
honest misunderstanding on both sides.
If Dr. Lovett considers the sub ect of suffi-
cient Importance | wish he would state in
plain, short, easy words, what it was he was

Il guess I'll stay in the game till | die"
said Mr.. Cannon when asked If he had any
intention Of retiring from politics. ''My con-
stituency is very kind to me- and as long as
they continue to want me I'll be on the job.
[ can't bear the idea of giving up and loafng
around while the other fellows are at work
having fun. I'll stay in until [ die, and then
be buried at public expense"
Among those who called to pay their re-
spects was Richard Evelyn Byrd, to whom
Uncle Joe said:
"You are the speaker of the Virginia house
OF delegates. Are you a car? Ii you are not,
you are no good.
II have no idea when we will get through
with the tariff bill,' said the Speaker. "The
House passed the bill in three weeks, but the
vote on the bill, but with Deliver and Cum
minis shooting around there is no telling what
will happen"
For downright rascality and impudent
franlness, Speaker Cannon has the other Con-
gressmen beat mile.
He admits that he is a rascal, brags about
how he has prospered by the practice of ras-
cality and openly declares that he intends to
keep it up.
Aldrich, Depew, Platt, and other Congress-
men are trust tools, and the country knows it.
But Speaker Cannon is about the only one
who openly says that the people may be
damned, so far as he is concerned, and that he
will continue to dictate to the President and
to Congress.
And strange to say, SO many of our Demo
cratic Congressman who were elected by the
people to enact legislation opposite to what
Speaker Cannon wants vote with the Cannon
crowd.

to relegate our statesmen to the shades of pri-
vate life and brought to the front set of men
of mediocre ability who are strangers to the
first principles of craftsmanship and whose
highest conception of official duty is "how
much money is there in it?"
If there was ever time, ii there will ever
be time when the Democratic party of Flor
ida should be reorganized on safe and sane
principles, that time is now.
For the present conglomeration, miscalled
the Democratic party, like the Confederate
dollar bill, stands for nothing on Gods green
earth, nor in the waters below it, nor in the
Heavens above it.
Nobody knows where we are at, where we
are going to, nor what we are going to do
when we get there
It is high time that the Democrats of Flor
ida pull themselves together, get rid of this
conglomeration that has destroyed our party
organization, and almost our self-respect, and
once more stand for principles and policies
which will cement us together and command
the respect of all who oppose us.
We therefore, heartily second the motion
which has been made by the Lake City IqadeU
to call a convention of the Democrats of this
State to meet at some central point soon after
the adi ournment of the Legislature to formu-
late a platform and policy of political pro-
cedure.-Jasper (Fla.) NeaUs.
If the editor of the Lake City Iqodeu and
the editor of the Jasper NeaOs succeed in call
ing "a convention of Democrats of this State
to meet at some central point soon after the
adjournment of the Legislature to formulate
a platform and a policy of political pro-
cedure," which will be agreed to by the Dem
ocratic party of two other states, they deserve
a medal.
Furthermore, they are entitled to oh on
the National Democratic Executive Commit
tee for the balance of their lives
After they clear out the "conglomeration"
in Florida, we will listen to them when they
begin to tell us about the big "conglomera-
ton"
Then we may look for the Democratic party
to free itself from Tammany, it's Murphys it's
Pat McCarrens, its Tom Ryans, its Tom Tag
CARTS, it's Belmonts
When we get rid of this biq conglomeration
of big thieves and rascals, then the two Flor
ida editors will go down in history with
Thomas Jefferson.
And before they die the country will appre-
ciate their efforts enough for them never to
worry about the ''conglomeration' of Popu-
lists, Socialists, Independents and Repu6h-
cans in Florida
We are just as ashamed of the Populists
who have 'conglomerated" with you 'Esafe and
sane" Democrats in Florida as we are with
the "safe and sane" Democrats who helped
make Joe Cannon the Boss of our lower House
of Congress, and are helping the Aldrich

Rev. Eaton Goes to eoIdfieId.

A few years ago the Buffalo Christ
ian Advocate in introducing an auto
graphical article concerning one of
the Methodist preachers of that sec
tion said Rev. Marson Monroe Eaton
joined the Genesee Conference two
years ago and at once took rank as
one of the most brilliant preachers
and platform orators in western New
York" Those who have heard this
gentleman in Gilpin county will
readily agree with the judgement of
the eastern paper.
A few years ago Mr.. Eaton was
forced by failing health to seek
change of net only climate but oc-
cupation. Having had wide exper-
ience in newspaper work he exchang-
ed the pulpit for the tripod and has
since been connected with many i'm
portant papers. Regaining what he
had lost in health he decided to re-
turn to what he had chosen as his
life work and is months ago was ap-
pointed to the little mountain charge
of Bald Mountain and Russell Gulch.
Although these appointments were
small and unremunerative from a fin
anc!al standpoint he has served them
through times Of great financial de-
preston as cheerfully as If he were
occupying a pulpit more in keeping
with his training and recognized abil-
ity. During his residence in this
county it may be said that he has
been the champion Of every progres.
sive movement and has become
known as the greatest booster" in
the preacher line that the county has
ever possessed. AS contributor to
the columns of the Observer his
articles have been widely read. many
of them being reproduced by the
press of the state. It is with genuine
regre. that we announce that he will
soon leave to take up the duties Of
a new parish. We know that the peo.
pie CT Goldfield will find in him not
only an eloquent preacher but loyal
and sincere friend. The Observer
joins with his many friends in Gilpin
county in wishing him all success in
his new field. AS many business in
terests here compel his attention for
while. he will not move his family
to the new home until about October
18th.

SCHOOL OPENS

When a condition is recorded on a

iion on the Friday before school be-
gins in the fall. II he does not re-
move this deficiency, he cannot be
promoted. This privilege is special
courtesy granted to the pupil with
the purpose Of stimulating him to
make an extra effort to make up his
work and is not due him on account
of any statement that is printed on
the face of the card. The card re-
Quires that an average Of So per cent
must be made and makes no excep-
tion. Nothing but thorough and well
planned outside work for the entire
summer would justify a pupil in
skipping a grade unless he should be
manifestly too far advanced for his
grade. Skipping grade is to be de-
preciated always as a gain in class
honors that costs too dear for what
1t is worth. Central grades are now
arranged so the average pupil can
make from the start a grade every
year and this is by far the best ar
rangement for the pupil.

SHELTER CLAIMS TO BE TESTED.
Modern Plant Near Argo to Expert
ment With GiIpin Ores.

Columns have been written con-
corning the plant equipment of the
new Modern smelter recently start.
ed near Argo. It's promoters have
made claims for it that IL justified
by actual results will mean a revoM-
ton for good to the mining industry
in this county. 1t now seems that
these claims are not to go unchal-
lenged. Mining men have come to the
conclusion that one test run on low
grade ore is worth more for practical
demonstration than all the news space
that has been devoted to the
project. Therefore number of Gilpin
county shippers are about to ex-
tract a few carloads of low grade
mineral for the express purpose Of
giving the new treatment a thorough
trial. The German Gold & Uranium
company have a good sized streak Of
white iron running with ore Of a high
er grade which, while showing values
up to twelve dollars a ton cannot
d
profit. This ore comes within the
claims of the new company as to
profitable extraction. Slater Bros.
will make an extensive shipment from
the Nimrod, a low grade proposition
lying just east of the Pyrenees. Other
operators in the county will also send
consignments. Returns will be eager
ly awaited not only by those pecuni-
arily interested but all the mem
bers of the mining fraternity in the
county. If the new process proves
successful in the treating of Gilpin
county ores it will be hard to make
many owners of low-grade properties
believe that the millinium is not at
hand.

and was one of the old pioneers.
With her husband she came to this
country from Ireland in 1865. They
braved the dangers and hardships of

Methodist Conference at Pueblo.

The forty-seventh session of the
Colorado conference Of the Methodist
church has passed into history as
one Of the most enjoyable and profi-
table sessions of that body. Bishop
Joseph Berry of Buffalo, New York
presided and succeeded in impressing
both ministers and laymen as a man
of great executive ability. Rev. r. H.
Forester, formerly of Central City,
was the conference host and fulfilled
his ardous and exacting task in a
thoroughly satisfactory manner. In
fact in order and arrangement of the
things necessary fer the comfort and
entertainment Of SO large a COM
pany the conveniences provided have
not been surpassed at any conference
session in the history of the state.
AS the annual conference session is
not law making body no changes
are noted in policy or discipline.
Some important changes were made
in the appointments. Locally these
great disappointment, the retirement
of rr. Phifer as district superinten-
den. being a distinct loss to this
section. On the other hand. the reap
pointment Of Rev. Hancher to his pre-
sent field Of labor brings with it
grea. cause for congratulation. The
appointments for Bald Mountain and
Black Hawk have not been announc-
ed. the inference being that both OF
these charges will be supplied with
students from the University of Den
yer. Fort Morgan was chosen as the
meeting place for the next annual
session. Central City has entertained
the conference four times since its
inception. Many years have passed
since we were SO honored. Why not
make a special effort to again bring
1t this way in 1911?
