Mr.. William A. Greene,

DeCenlDtr e, 1000.
Mr. William A. Greene,
My dear Friend; Yours received. I am the
guilty party who wrote, "By What Right ?"
You may be sure that the editorial speaks my
conscientious convictions.
If you were reading the daily papers of New
York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore,
and other large cities, as my editorial work re-
quires me to do you would have your heart
touched, just as mine is, by these daily sto-
ries of ptiful want and the unrelieved poverty

OF Our great cities. Do you know that III
every one Of, the large cities Of this country
there are men, women and children who are
literally starving to death, freezing to death,
and committing suicide to escape starvation?
Do you know that mothers are giving away
their children because they can't feed them,
and there are instances where they take their
babes from their breasts because they are
no longer able to give them nourishment,-
surrendering these little ones to those who are
able to support the lives of the wretched babes?
Do you know that there are thousands Of
workmen in each one of our great cities who
cannot secure employment; who ragged,
hungry and homeless wanderers upon the face
Of the earth? Are you aware of the fact that
abject want is driving hundreds of women
and girls into lives of vice as an escape from
death by starvation? Are you aware of the
fact that tens Of thousands of boys and girls,
not only in the cities but in the towns and
in the mountain districts of Our country, are
growing up in the densest ignorance because
their parents have no money to send them to
school, and have no money with which to
ClOthe them even if there was a free school
within sight of the house where they live?
Do you know that there is, in these United
States, systematic traffic in girls and young
women, and that the victims of this hideous
business are peddled off to the various houses
OF ill-fame, just as negro slaves were formerly
sold? DO you know that in Our larger cities
white women are kidnapped, and held in the
dens of negro fends, for the qualification of
negro lust? Do you know that in every city
of this Christian land, unprotected, inexpe-
rlenced girl, or young woman, has no more
chance to escape the night providers than
pigeon would have in cage Of hawks, Or "a
man overboard' would have among man-eat-
ing sharks?
Do you know that Our sweat-shops, Our
mills, our Mines Our partment-stores, can
tell tales that might make angels weep and
devils laugh?
Do you know that the nightly bread-line in
New York City is such CHASTITY exhibition Of
human misery, hunger, nakedness, and despair,
that it melts the stonest hearts?
DO you know anything about the hopeless
ignorance and squalor of thousands of cabin
homes of Our country people, and do you know
anything of that moral debasement which
causes men to band together and beat young
white wife, to compel her to go back to the
arms of an old and drunken husband?
Do you know that human life has become the
cheapest thing on the American Continent;
that the butcheries of our railroads excite no
indignant attention; that the sacrifice of men,
women and children to the Moloch of Profit
in our industrial establishments inspires no
determined effort to stop it; that in the one
city, New York, there are three, or more, muir
dered human beings for every day in the
year! In fact, the railroads, the automobiles,
the assassins, the suicides, the criminal doc
tors, the baWdy -house keepers, the gambling
hellS the drinking saloons: the DANGEROUS en-

FORE we take Our millions Of dollars over to
China, and other foreign countries and es-
tablsh kindergartens, common schools and col
leges for the free education of the heather.
You ought to be aware Of the fact that if
Chinese missionaries, or Hindoo missionaries,
or Mohammedan missionaries should come to
New York, Chicago or Philadelphia and open
up. commissaries and schools, proposing to fur
nish with clothing, food, homes, medicine and
fuel the poor people who are prowlng around
the slu1ns of Our own cities, these wretched
creatures of Our own flesh and blood, driven
by their own desperate necessities, would go
through the form of embracing those foreign
religions in order to relieve their physical nee
essities.
AS said in the editorial, it would be glo-
rious charity and philanthropy to do such for
eign work as this if we did not have such
vast amount of poverty, ignorance, vice and
crime here at home which could be relieved
were we to broaden intelligently and systemat-

Ex-Gobe1noy Vaydaman Annoyed
When our friend Vardaman's term of gu
bernatorial office expired, he stepped up higher
and became the editor of tip-top weekly pa
per.
But he isn't altogether happy He COM
plains with some bitterness, that printers and
proof readers mang1e his editorials with typo
graphical errors.
Our heartfelt sympathies are with Varda-
man in this matter, for we know Just how he
feels!
Did we not ''fall down" in the effort to call
Israel Putnam by the affectionate nickname
Of "Old Put? To our horror and amazement
printers and proofreaders conspired against us,
and made us call him "Old Pot"
If we write something about Florida and al
lude to ''the inland route" doth it not come
back to us in cold print "island route?
If we make reference to friends of Wat
son." hath it not happened that printers and
proofreaders added another touch to the
copy and thus made us say friends of Wat
sons
AS to having the proper name, Gouver-
neur, spelled right,-in a reference to Gouver-}
neur Norris for instance,-we long since
abandoned hope. No matter how hard we tr-5
to preserve the French form, we fail. IT,
printers feel it to be a professional duty
change Gouverneur to Governor, every time.
and they do it lovingly and perseveringly.
During the Bryanite. campaign we received
several urgent letters from W. J. B, Finance
Committee, pleading for spondulix. We could
not ignore these polite and insietent calls for
cash; and upon receipt of each petition we pub
lished courteous replies. N one of these, we
took occasion to say to Major Moses Wetmore.
and his fellow Committeeman that, owing to
the low price of cotton and the unsettled con-
dition of the stock market, we were not able
to contribute anything to the Bryanite Cam
pagn fund.
The printers omitted the word not, and thus
it was made to appear that we were putting
ducats into the Bryan dough bag
But we rarely stake up newspaper that we
do not see similar errors.
Only the other day the Atlanta Constitution
reported Joe Barley, of Texas, as characterize

"wanton words" \

While Smith achieved much fame as ref
