TOO KIND TO THE HUNTER SORT
vF SOCIALISTS.

Dear Comrade:-I have read with
zest your article on Socialism" in
the October issue.
What you said there is just what
| have been wanting to read, and,
believe, is just what the people of
this old South would have you say
In you I see great lover and friend
of the South, and one who is true to
the principles of her people; al
ways ready to defend the South
and her people, ever willing to speak
out in defense of her and the
fair women and loyal, honest men
who make the laws and till the fields.
Would that we had more of your
kind, for the principles of several
hundred Tom Watsons scattered
over this fair land would soon make
the thieving politicians and the howl
ing, defeated, liberty deserting sons
of Socialism take up their grips and
=" skiddoo!"
But you were too mild, too ready
to talk kindly, and say soft things
about Socialism and Hunter.
Had your article been written by
Socialist, in reply to one you had
written, he would have cursed till
his face was blue, and the old South
erners who fought so bravely for
purity of politics and government
would have received a bowling
out" that would make the sons of
Liberty drop their heads in shame.
You say, "Mr Hunter" or "Col.
Dick Maple" and in speaking of them
talk of them as gentlemen, but is it
the same on the other side? No, no!
1t is tom Watson, the rundown, de-
feated, class-conscious, receiver-with-
out-giving politician"
But that is only the difference be-
tween a Watson and Hunter, or
Maple.
My parting: Give it to EN- strong,
and the voice of the South will
echo, 'Well done, good and faithful
Watson, hit em again"
May your kind increase.
Wishing you all the success you
deserve, I am,
Respectfully,
JACK DUNAWAY.
Dothan, Texas.
(All right, Jack, they shall get it
hot and strong. T. E. W.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

heard of anything of the sort until
the receipt of this letter. When the
Democrats assailed our land plank,
in the Nineties, contending that it
meant what DR.. Wesson now claims
we holly denied it,-every one of us.
In my own campaign for Congress,
| entered general denial and. amid
the cheers of the Pops, demonstrated
that we had done nothing more than
declare against the monopolizing of
land for speculative purposes.
Had we Pops admitted in the
Nineties, that we put any such con-
struction on our platform, as that
which DR.. Wesson now does. we
never would have amounted to a row
of pins. There never was a day
when | would have given my support
to any such platform.
AS to the Initiative and Referen-
dunn, my position has undergone no
change. | believe in direct legisla-
ton; but would not favor any sys-
tenn which would allow Ohio or Penn
sylvania to dictate to Delaware,
Georgia and Florida. The equality
of the States in the Senate must be
maintained. How silly it is to con-
tend that, under the Initiative and
referendum, 'the have-nots, being
in the majority, would TAKE the
property from the Haves.' How
would they do it? | wonder if DR..
Wesson fancies that we who believe
in the State, the church, the mono
gamous marriage system, and in
private property would sit idly by and
see the have-nots TAKE what we've
worked for, and honestly acquired.
DR.. Wesson says, in effect, that the
Populist platform in operation, would
result in Socialism If that is so,
why didn't the Socialists get on it?
If that is so, why did DR.. Wesson
leave it?
AS to the foreigners Herr
BeDel is the one accepted leader of
world Socialism. He has led them in
the German Parliament for about
thirty years. If he doesn't know
what Socialism means, nobody does.
Besides, will prove that the So
cialist magazines and papers in this
country are in full sympathy and &C
cord with the foreigners. Just
keep on reading the Jeffersonians,
Doctor.
No; I did not open my mouth in
defense of Haywood, Meyer and Pet
tibone. My experience and intuition
as lawyer told me that Harry Or
chard's statement was essentially
true. Not in the Jeffersonians will
such murderers be defended If en-
ployed professionally, I would have
defended them in the Courthouse
holding that their guilt must be le-
gally demonstrated before they could
be convicted.
Tom, you are Daisy"
Sorry can not fling a similar COM
pliment your way, Doctor.

POOLING THE OLD POPS.

My Dear Sir:-I have been touch
ing elbows with you since Ignatius
Donnelly formulated, and the con-
vention adopted, the Declaration of
Principles at ST. Louis, February %,
1901. / was delegate to Cincinnati
when the first political action was
taken upon those principles, May
10th, of the same year, and the Peo-
pies Party was organized upon the
same-all of which you know
In that declaration, the Omaha
Platform, it is declared, Land is the,
heritage. etc., and should not
be held for speculative purposes"
(Rents and profits only for actual
settlers, also is declared for public
lands.
The same platform set forward the
Initiative, etc,-all of which you
have defended gallantly these many
years.
But, 10, now you come to the part
ing of the ways! No longer do you
advocate the Populist land plank or
the Referendum. Why this change?
Have you changed views? Would
not the Referendum put the have
nots at the ballot box, and therein
give them the opportunity which you
condemn the Socialists for? The
have-nots, being largely in the ma
jority, when they once know their
strength under Socialism would
TAKE property from the HAYES.
Tom, l am no schoolboy or spring
chicken, nor am / mollycoddle. I
have bought every copy of your pub
locations from the first Peoples
Party paper you published, and have
attended nearly every Pop conven-
ton. But when you opened your
TRADE against the Socialist, I wrote
you that three-fourths of the staunch
Populists were Socialists, from neces-
sity and principle, and they are those
whose dollars make your subscrip-
ton list, and yet you are HI bent
to continue knocking them
And what would the operation of
the Omaha platform result in but So
cialism?
You take up list of foreigners
and repeat what they say and call it
Socialism. Don't you know that the
Socialist party (cult) is the only or
gained protest against organized
greed, that is rapidly sweeping this
country into abject slavery?
Tom, you did not open your mouth
in defense of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone. Neither did you write a
line in protection of the Russian
refugees, all of whom were saved by
Socialist protests.
Tom, you are a Daisy. You think
we old Pops haven't sense enough to
know our own business. Socialism
is a growing power, and the ruling
powers realize it. Mark Hanna, r.
r. and others have seen enough
Your challenge! That is child's
play. Debs and others have no time
70 listen to vOur huncOmhe Tom
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-12-02

mlI0 the IOru OF government you
set up and call Socialism 1t exists
only in your fertile brain. The So
cialists of the United States will set
up a government suitable to the peo-
pie governed when a majority con-
trolls the lawmaking departments.
Come on with your analysis and
caustic criticisms. We are in this
fight for our homes and our children
and their future against the combin-
ed powers or organized greed under
the Socialist flag. You will have to
land in the Republican camp. The
Democratic party is dead as the ID;
so is the Pop party.
Yours to the end,
(Dr.) |. A. WESSON.
Answer.
DR.. Wesson has become so bewil-
dered that he has forgotten what our
old Platforms said about Land"
The st. Louis (1892) Platform
reads,
The lands including all the natu-
raj sources of wealth, is the heritage
of all the people and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held
by railroads and other corporations
in excess of their actual needs, and
all land now owned by aliens, should
be reclaimed by the Government, and
held for actual settlers, only
That's o. K. I'm as much in ia
vor of that plank as I ever was A
man who has gone away from it, as
DR.. Wesson has, ought not to taunt
me because I have not left this pri-
vate ownership platform to wade in
the bog of Socialism.
In that st. Louis platform,
first Of Populist manifestoes, private
ownership is expressly recognized in
the clause which demands homes and
farms for actual settlers.
To be held how? By the private
ownership system then in vogue.
The st. Louis platform denounces
speculative monopoly; not private
ownership.
The land is the home and heritage
of all the people, and all the people
who are alive, are living in it-but
Society has the right to say how the
citizen shall hold his share. The sys-
tenn of land-ownership now in exist
ence had it's origin in the recognition
of the tenants right to enjoy the i'm
provements that he had made on his
allotment of wild, tribal land.
In the Populist Platform of 1904,
the land plank is
Land should not be
monopolized for speculative pur-
poses"
Not hint is dropped against pri-
vate ownership. On the contrary,
those things which ought to be pub
licly owned are enumerated. They
are as follows

Wise Denmark Doctors

Here is a copy of a poster drawn
up by number of Danish physicians
and put up in all railway stations
throughout the country:
To the Danish People:
Alcohol is a sttupefying poison.
Alcohol is the cause of many men
tai diseases and of most of the
crimes.
Every seventh man in Denmark
dies of drink.
In the struggle for temperance, alb
stinence is the safest weapon.
Abstinence never Injuries a man.
Sure is the hand and clear is the
thought of him who never drinks spir-
its.
If you wish to make your people
happy, increase their prosperity,

terests of your country, and make the
race sound in body and in mind. be-
come a total abstainer.

W. C. 7. U. DEPARTMENT
From Or. Wiley

DR.. Wiley, chemist, at the head of
the pure food department of the gov
eminent, is , little harder on the whis-
key question than anyone of whom
we have recently heard-not on the
traffic, but on the stuff itself. If he is
correct, the whiskey makers, who
know the. secrets of the trade, are
murderers wholesale. He admits that
there is some pure whiskey sold, but
the amount is Insignificant compared
to the millions of gallons that are poi
son. DR.. Wiley is reported as saying:
Although | never drank whiskey,
know for fact that very little real
whiskey is sold. Lots of men line up
in front of a bar and spend valuable
drinking time in arguing about the
different brands of poison that the
man in white puts upon the bar. 1t
is generally a waste of time, for
would say, unofficially, that about 9S
per cent. of the stuff is not whiskey.
That is why l am glad to have whip
ped the whiskey people out in Cincin-
natl. Lots of liquid that has no claim
to the name, whiskey, has been sold.
The majority of persons know little
or nothing about chemistry, and if
they did, have not at hand facilities
for analysis. AS for those who drink,
II may be said they care nothing
about the quality-the hotter the stuff
the better it pleases. The fact that it
kills does not bother them. This
leads us to say again: If the lives of
the people are worth saving, while
the board OF health is Furnishing poor
milkmeu who add water to their
milk, they would do well to look after
lordly saloon keepers who daily pour
down their customers threats stuff
9S per cent. of which is adulterated.
That would ruin the pet business, for
if confined strictly to pur liquo: so
per cent. of the sellers would be COM
PEELED to quit They would not be
able to buy pure whiskey.-New Or
leans Christian Advocate.

ocALA WON AND LOST
The Result of Yesterdays Double
Header Was TWO Pretty Games

ElCo0Ct w 90 W. 0dU1GS
The locals won the first game and
lost the second. After the disappoint-
ment of Thursday afternoon, on &C
count of the usual rain, the Ocala
boys arranged to play two games on
Friday afternoon.
The first game was called at 2:40,
with only a small crowd in attend
ance, but before the game was over a
large crowd made its appearance.
Brown was in the box for the locals
IN the first game, and seemed to have
the opposing batsmen at his mercy at
all times. The score shows that two
hits were made off his delivery, but
these were only scratch hits. How
ever, they were hits or errors, and
there was no one to whom the errors
should be given. Happy Man" Dill
ion also pitched well, but the locals
found him for seven safeties.
Neither team scored until the
fourth inning, when Waller made the
only run of the game After Donald
son was retired on a fly to left field,
Waller took first via the "big four"
route, and went to second on Harris
single. Waller and Harris then stole
third and second. Dillon made a balk
and the runners advanced a base
each, Waller tallying.
Both teams had chances to score
later, but no runs were forthcoming
Palatka had two on bases in the Sec
ond, sixth and eighth innings, with
only one out, but the necessary hits
could not be made. In the sixth in
ming Ocala had the bases full, with
none out, but the side was retired
without further runs
After an intermission of ten min
utes, the second game was begun. In
this game the absolute need of the
fielders playing deep against a heavy
hitting team was very apparent. Hits
driven over left field and center field
were good for two bases each. Had
not these fielders been playing close
in, these two hits by Smith would
have been easy outs. Two runs were
scored by Palatka on Smiths second
two-bagger. The same was true in
the Gainesville game in Ocala. The
balls went over Ocala's fielders be-
cause they played in too close.
No runs were counted until the
fourth inning, when Palatka scored
twice. Calhoun was safe at first on
BENEFITS error Collins famed. Dill
Ion hit over third base safely. Then
came Smith with his second two-bag-
ger, scoring Calhoun and Dillon.
Ocala tailed in the sixth inning.
Waller hit TO left field for two bases.
Harris sacrificed him to third, from
which base he scored on CalhoUn's
error in handling Benefits hit to
short.
Ocala won the first game, one to
nothing, and Palatka took the second
game, two 10 one. 1t is a pleasure to
say that the Palatka boys are not
kickers, at least not in Ocala, and that
they conduct themselves in a quiet,
gentlemanly manner, both on and off
the baseball field.

Civilization has found out the sa-
loon. After several centuries of ex-
perience with it, it has written its ep-
itaph. One of our great railroad
lines in America has recently made a
sweeping order that any employe of
the road who cashes his pay check in
a saloon will lose his job. Twenty
years ago one of the great railroads
in this country paid so little attten-
ton to the habits of its employees that
from the writer's own knowledge a
train crew of twelve men lay drunk
around a freight station SOLDERING up
from a days debauch, and the freight
train which thy were to man waited
more than half a day before it pulled
out. Such a situation at present
would be impossible on any railroad
in America. One of the finest things
about the agitation arising up all over
the world against the liquor business
is the hand which business has begun
TO take in it. After while no bust
ness worthy of the name will employ
a man who drinks at ali. Some of
our railroads have already refused to
employ men who use cigarettes, eth
er in the Offices or about the TRAINS.
