o, QUIT! HUSH UP!

Dear Mr.. WATSON do think you
are the meanest man l ever knew.
believe you are the meanest man in
the world If you don't let up on
your efforts to make us think, some
of us will become desperate, hysteri-
cal, mad. Don't you know we don't
want to think? 1t hurts. We South
ern folks are not used to thinking.
We have been accustomed to let other
people do our thinking so long that
our thinking faculties are atrophied,
and gone out of business. We South
erners are conservative. How cruel
you are to keep bothering us! Please
give us a rest. To think requires ex-
ertion, requires the exercise of our
faculties that have been dormant for
years Requires work. Please quit
Fostering us. We are tired of your
everlasting provocations. What do
we care about tariff schedules, free
lumber, free hides? What do we
course THEY understand their bust
ness. We elected THEM to attend
to THAT business Don't bother US
with it. We are conservatives, "safe
and sane" We have no use for logic
cant use it in our business. AS
for books and editorials on ''politics
and economics" they only serve to
annoy us, or make us angry. We
SOutherners are a proud and naughty
people, anyway. Of course, we are
always right. Can you improve per-
fiction? Then why continue your
everlasting agitations? Logic wearies
us. Give us rhetoric. Give us long
Worded platitudes about Southern
greatness, and we will applaud you to
the skies
Why go on" so much about For
eign Missions? Don't the preachers
know all about that? Haven't they
studied that all out? What have we
to do with THAT, except to furnish
the "spOnduliX" You are crazy, old
man-working yourself to death, try
ing to make us think, and we are not
going to do it. So hush up! That's
all.
Your friend,
L. G. ALLEN.
Hoschton, Ca, Sept 8, 1909.
Ed. Comment: This reminds us of
a letter received some months ago.
A friend related how he had tried to
get a storekeeper to subscribe to The
JefrersOnian, which he had been
reading. mo" said the storekeeper,
Il don't want to take that paper"
"Why?' inquired our friend. at
works YOU" answered the store
keeper. The Six wanted to be left
alone, not worked"

DIR. PAUL WAKEFIELD'S LETTER

What We Missionaries Concealed
has been forwarded to me with re-
quests for explanation.
There are three statements credit
ed me in the article copied from
the Charlottesville, Ind, paper. They
are these: That more women mis-
sionaries are degraded by the Chi
nese men than there are Chinese
converted" That the murder of
Elsie Siegle ''has uncovered the sys-
tenn OF personal religious instruction
which is almost universal in Chinese
missions. That the missionaries
had known these things and "kept
them covered up"
Now I have not seen the Craw-
louisville paper, but these points
credited to me are exactly the re-
verse of what [ said. What I did say
was this: That in China in our work
we never have such troubles. The
women missionaries go and come
freely, conforming to the customs of
the land. [ have never known or
heard of such a trouble as this in
New York. Further than this, in
China the women work only among
women and men among men. I
have never known Of individual re-
ligious instruction" being given by
one of the opposite sex.
Again I called attention to the
fact that the Mission Societies HAVE
FOR YEARS PROTESTED, and do
now protest, against this type of
Fashionable Summing" "Some
American girls go crazy over Orien-
tai men," In the name of "Mis-
sions' they take liberties they would
never take with their own people,
There is not Mission Society that
sanctions such a work. Any one who
will take the trouble to look I'D the
methods of the Mission Societies will
lind their work is sane, properly
managed, adapted to the race among
whom the work is done, and is effec-

are not missionaries, but have seen
the work and believe in it,
Finally, let us look at this affair
in New York. The young lady be-
comes infatuated with a young man.
She writes him kitten love notes,
goes to his private rooms in a Chop
Suey joint Every often these are
gilded brothels) and rejects him for
another lover. At best the girl in
vited trouble-and it is unfair to
judge the Chinaman any more Sc
verely than you would an American
citizen.
/ am at loss to understand the
spirit of reporter who would so
misquote me. But / am quite as sur
prised that such paper as The JEFF
fersonian should copy or credit such
report. On it's face it is false No
mission could exist six months un-
der the conditions you seem willing
to credit. How you could conceive
American women going into such
work is more than / can understand.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

nality and to bring about unifica-
ton of thoughts and opinions, and
that not of the highest order, it seems
to me, is what the community is try
ing to accomplish with the individual
in these days of uniform text books,
uniform methods of instruction, In
ternational Sunday School Lessons,
missionary societies, cradle rolls,
woman's clubs, etc., etc., etc. Are
not our unifying educational forces
like shoe-peg machines cutting into
pegs of the same shape stalwart
original oaks and insignificant bushes
of the gooseberry variety? Are we
not running timber suited for the
ship of state by running it through
mills that turn out a finished product
every one alike in form regardless
of substance?
But I'm getting morbid. "The hit
dog yelps," SO they say. I've been
hit-hit hard. The editor of our
county paper tells me that his read
ers don't like my stuff and turns
down my gratis contribution, giving
his space to preacher who pub
fishes God Rules The Storm" three
columns, to prove that the cyclone
which demolished things at Cuth-
bert was in direct answer to
prayer.
In explanation let me say I am at
Pond, eight miles east of
The fish won't bite, so I
come into my tent to read and write.
A rats nest of old papers attracted
my attention, and in reading them
over I caught the idea that has found
expression in this letter.
Hoping no harm is done your pa
thence and that my signature will
cause you pleasant recollections of
an old friend who rejoices in your
success in life,
Sincerely,
OLD FRIEND.

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
OF Quaker Oats. A big dish Of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for man who needs
vigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive fa
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy tt is at the
head Of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in kEee size family packages, with
