" ASKS FOR NAMES OF THE
FAITHFUL.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. &c, 1909.
The Jeffersonians, Thomson, Ca
note in recent issues of the Week
ly Jeffersonian that the populist spirit
in Arkansas is not wholly extinct, and
that even some are advocating a re-
vival. To all who favor this [ make
the request that they send their
names, and as far as they know them
the addresses Of others who favor
trying to do something" to Col. A.
w. Files, chairman Of the State Cen
trail Committee, and the 'Efaithful" in
this city will confer with him and see
if some action cannot be taken that
will lead at least to an educational
movement.
O. S. Jones, Of Prescott, Ark, sug-
gests the idea Of Populist Clubs with
ten cents monthly dues to provide lit
erature for educational purposes.
Make it a motion, Bro. Jones, and
will second it with an application for
membership. Very truly,
L. H. Moore.

ORGANIZE.

Pelham, Ga.
Dear Sir: I think one of the best
things to do is to make thorough
organization of the Peoples Party,
and have out a full State and county
ticket in 1910. There is no question
but that it would stimulate interest in
the selection Of officers, and would
bring out many voters who have not
taken any interest in elections since
1896, when we were duped so shame
fully by the Democratic party.
could name many who did not
even come to the polls on our last
election day and who were Watson
men to the core, even some right here
in town who said they had forgotten
that it was election day, and they
were all good Pops.
AS see it, reorganization is
necessary to bring out the proper in
terest, i would cause good men to

fall in line who have heretofore taken
no interest in the selection Of our law
makers. They say, cit is no use; it
is going Democratic anyway, so I'll
just stay away from the polls" I
fully agree with you that it is neces-
sary to have two white parties in the
South before the South will ever be
recognized politically.
Then let us wake up to our duty,
and organize NOW. We need not ex-
pect other factions to organize for
us. The army has got to be raised
by US, and each one has got to do his
part to carry the battle to victory.
Let recruiting officers be stationed in
every county and district in this, and
every other, State in the Union, and
let able speakers go upon the stump
and proclaim our gospel to every
creature, and in 1910 we will send a
few congressman and senators to
Washington, and we will elect a good
ly number of representatives to our
State legislatures, and we will elect
some judges, and perhaps some other
county officers. All this will gather
strength, and in 1912 or 1916 we will
have president and full house
Will write again when [ have more
time, but let us organize.

REEL FOOT LAKE AND BOSTON
TEA PARTY.
Belden, Miss.

Belden, Miss.
Dear Mr.. Watson:
| wish to thank you for the infor-
nation so kindly sent. I have just
been reading your editorial In regard
to Reel Foot Lake, and after reading
the piece carefully and your ruling on
it, [ think every newspaper in the
United States ought to raise a howl
and demand the pardon Of the six
men that are to be hung. I admit
that the act was unlawful. So was
the act of the young men that threw
the tea overheard at the Boston
Harbor. Sometimes it takes unlawful
acts to effect justice.
Please find one dollar to help pay
campaign expenses.
B. FL. Wade.

If you suffer pain from

Hon. Thos. E. Watson,
My dear Sir: | have just read your
papers on "The Day Of Rest" ard
ON "Legare, +" in the March magazine.
Either is worth more than the
price Of your magazine. They are
certainly extraordinary productions,
brimful of practical learning. Any
young person from IA to Fl years
could get enough learning out of the
two to make an intelligent and useful
man or woman. They are just simply
superb. [ am more than pleased with
you and your two Jeffersonians, and I
pray God to bless you in your noble
work toward the enlightening and
elevating Of the people AS soon as I
get some money, will send. mite
to help pay your expenses during
your campaign for the people. A day
never passes but what I think Of you
and your noble sacrifice for the people.
I yet believe that you will lead us
to victory Kindest regards to your

The Playing Of Petty Politics.

In spite of the elOquence of the eco
nomical Pattangall, the resolve appro-
priating $;5O,00o for enlargement of the
House by n vote of 81 to So. Two years
ago The Portland men were fighting
the best they knew how for the remov-
al Of the capital to this city. But things
have happened since. "rhe best laid
scheme OF mice and men gang aft
agley." and now the Portland men are
among the strongest supporters of the
plan to make the necessary additions
to the old capitol. With true prophetic
insight the Waterville Sentinel yester-
day morning said: "The resolve will
probably receive a passage" But the
Sentinel is very much dissatisfied, or
processes to be, while inwardly it
probably exults as evidence of Re
publican extravaganza and stores
more powder for waging the next cam
paign OF the issue of enOnOmy. THE
practical unanimity with which the re-
solve was approved by the committee
on public buildings and grounds" says
the Sentinel, indicates that the chief
business of the State House during ev-
cry other winter will continue to be
creating pew offices and for the rest of
the time the drawing of maximum sal
aries for the minimum amount of
work. When the Democrats come into
power. Of course all these things will

reduction of salaries and the abolition

The Republican Nominations.

In the various ward caucuses held by
the Republicans of Augusta Friday
afternoon and evening, the splendid
work begun at the general caucus
Thursday evening was continued. In
each of the eight wards of the city eX-
cept Ward Five, whose caucus will be
he'd today, a ticket has been named
which cannot fail to commend itself
to the people of Augusta. Strong and
popular men have been nominated for
aldermen and councilmen, men of the
highest standing in the community,
trained in business affairs, in most
cases experienced in municipal affairs,
men of public spirit and personal
worth.
With such a man as Treby Johnson
as the party's candidate for mayor, it
vas the fitting thing that the same
high standard should be maintained
upon the various ward tickets and it
is safe to say that the Republicans of
Augusta never presented better tick
ct at the annual city election than is
offered the voters of the city this year.
1t is q ticket which deserves success
by a rousing majority a week from
next Monday, not merely because ii
cannot fail to command the united sup
port of the Republicans of the city,
but because it appeals to the business
sense and the sound common sense of
the mass of citizens as a whole. This
is Republican city, as was demon
stratod at last September'S election
and it is inconceivable, with such a
ticket in the field as has now been
nominated, that the Republican voters
viii for fourth time turn the city
over to the Democrats just because
the Democratic candidate for mayor is
a good fellow who would like to break
all precedent by enjoying the honor OF
fourth term.

(SomerSet Reporter.)


A brilliant actress in New York City
has separated from her husband, a
theatrical manager, because she craV-
ed home and domestic life. Instead of
receiving the applause of ''the gay and
thoughtless throng," she wants to
darn socks" "How l envy every per-
son who darns socks,'' is her pitiful Ia
ment. How many girls in our staid
New England towns have envied the
brilliant actress as she has received
the applause of enthusiastic admirers;
but could they see her behind the
scenes and in her hours of retirement,
they would realize something of the
emptiness and hollowness of stage life,
with all its show and glitter, and be
content to turn for recreation to the
darning of socks.
