The extravaganza of our national govern
ment:
The enormous increase of the cost of Our
military and naval establishments:
The disregard of law by our President and
our Congressman:
The perils of foreign immigration
The giving of fifty million dollars per year
to the railroads for carrying the mails:
The Parcels Post the inheritance tax, Postal
Savings banks, Free trade for all the neces-
sares of life, and for all articles controlled by
Trust:
Direct legislation and the right to Recall
any public servant who has gone back on his
constituents.
These are merely suggestions as to what
line of discussion the public meetings might
take
At such assemblies, the votes of the Con
gresham of that District, and the two Sena-
tors of the State, would be legitimate topic.
Suppose county after county should act,
passing strong resolutions, and instruct
ing their Representatives and Senators to thus
and so,-the effect would be prodigious.
There would be in meetings such as these
none of the bitterness, excitement and preju
dice which are nseparable from political cam
paigns. That fact Of itself would give ire
mendous weight to the resolutions adopted.
By the time every county of Congressional
district put its written instructions on it's mem
Der of Congress, he would be peoples man,
or he would have to get out.
By the time majority of counties of State
fired resolutions at their Senators, they would
begin to vote and work for what the UN-
PRIVILEGED want
The plan we suggest is simple, costs moth
ing, does not take any man into dreaded
third party" and does give the plain people
an easy mode of taking the reins of power
back into their own hands.
Before the Civil War, the common folks
ruled the country in this very way 1t can be
done again.

Hob Would This DO?

Hob Would This Do?
Everybody who is interested in our public
affairs realizes that there is a universal desire
to make the will of the people felt.
Everybody is sick and tired of caucus rule,
ring rule, wre-puller rule, corporation rule,
and crooked rule of all kinds. The people,
OF all political parties want more of the rope.
They hear both the old parties abusing each
other and uniting to squander the money and
to enact vicious legislation. The people want
more power. They feel that they have lost
out, in the shuttle. They never know what's
to be done, until after it's done, and then it is
too late to undo it.
But nobody seems to know what remedy to
apply. Nobody comes forward with a plan.
From the two old parties relief is to be
expected. Republican leaders are henchmen
of the Special-Privilege plutocrats, the Demo-
cratic leaders are nothing in the world but
Assistant Republicans. Here we have seen
them, in THIS Congress, working harmo-
nlously with the Republicans to squander a
thousand million dollars of your money, and
then trying to throw dust in your eyes by
making noisy fight over some little item like
an increase of $1,000 in the Speakers pay!
We can't expect relief from the Socialists
for they are headed for bloody revolution
and a reign of elemental chaos The Popu-
lists are disorganized and their name dis
credited
Then, what can be done? To this problem,
the Jeffersonian has devoted much earnest
thought 1t has recently occurred to him that
the simplest plan might be the best. We ma
tive born Americans spring from the old Teu-
tonic stocks who originated every law in a
meeting of the tribe.
The people assembled themselves together,
discussed their public affairs, and decided
what to do. Thus public opinion was formed,
and laws made and upheld. mathis simple
manner they had government of the people,
by the people, and for the people,-a form of
words which was in use some 500 years before
Mr.. Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg speech.
During Mr.. Jefferson's administration, as he
afterwards declared, he felt the ground trem-
bic under him, because of New England's agi-
tation in her town meetings.
1t was the popular movement in New Eng
land which compelled Mr.. Madison to put an
end to the War of 1872.
Why could we not inaugurate series of
county mass-meetings to discuss measures, not
men, nor parties?
AT those meetings. the people of all parties
might come together as citizens of common
country soictous for it's present and future
welfare. Leave out party names altogether
Make no allusion to past differences. Confne
the discussion to interchange of views, to pub
lie questions which affect alike men of all par
ties
Here are some of the pressing matters upon
which resolutions might be adopted:
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-03-11

archists, incendiaries perjurers, bushwhackers,
sewers Of sedition, traitors to trust, enemies OF
peace and good order, and SO forth and SO on.
But this unprecedented crime against orderly
government has been committed by members
of one or other Of the two old parties and very
little is being said about it. Yet who is It
that cannot realize the gravity Of the ottense :!
To keep itself in power, the Ring has law
lessly broken up the Senate, without whose
concurrence laws cannot be made
If the action of these thirteen Senators is
not TREASON, within the definition of the
statutes, it is JUST THAT, in its conse-
quenCes.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-03-11
DO OafhS Bind?

The President of the United States, as all
the world knows takes the oath of office in
public, with great ceremony and before null
titude of people. The chief Judge Of our high
est Court administers this oath, which binds
the President to faithfully uphold and obey the
Constitution, and execute the laws
Members of Congress, likewise, are solemnly
sworn on Holy Writ to be faithful to the Con-
stitution and the laws.
Do these oaths have any influence upon the
officials who take them? Are they remem-
bered an hour after they are taken?
We fear not. Oath-taking is 50 common
that it is generally regarded as mere form
Let us see: the Constitution of the United
States very plainly says that the salary and
emoluments of the President shall not be in
creased during his term in Office Salary of
course, means the direct compensation in
money. Since the time of Gen. Grant, the
salary has been $4,000 per year. During Mr.
Roosevelts term the salary has not been in
creased, but the emoluments have. In that
connection, the word ernolurnent means ad-
vantage profit, or gain attached to the office.
Now, when Mr. Roosevelt was first elected he
had to pay his own travelling expenses, as
the Emperor of Germany does. But Con-
gress passed, a law giving Mr.. Roosevelt
$4,000 year to cover his travelling expenses
That was gain an advantage, which he did
not have before the law was passed In every
sense Of the word it was an emolument
What right did Congress and the President
have to add this advantage to his office during
his term?
None whatever They violated plain pro-
vision of the Constitution which they had SOL
emily sworn to uphold
The emoluments of the Presidents office
have been increased largely in several other
respects, since Mr.. Roosevelt entered the
White House. In fact, he, personally, has
been, beyond all comparison the most expen-
slve tenant we have eyer had in the Executive
Mansion.
lake another instance: the President and
Congress have had hundreds of houses built
tor the dagoes who lost their homes bv the
earthquakes in Sicily and Calabria. One news
paper report put the number of these gift
houses at 1900. But suppose the number was
only 500 as originally intended,-the question
IS, BY what authority did Congress and the,
President take your money out of the treasury
and build these gift houses for the poor people
of Italy?
- There isn't line in the Constitution which
can be twisted into sanctioning any such mis-
use of public funds. Yet, all the Senators and
Representatives voted for the appropriation
Bailey OF Texas did not, but his was the on1v
name reported in the negative
Your Senator, and your Congressman VIC
lated his solemn oath when he voted awav
your money for those gift houses.

that blow!" he muttered, with say
age snarl, as he ran.
In the theater Bonholt Hume ha,
waited in his seat with growing
anxiety after the detectives depart
ure until his state of restless impa
thence became uncomfortable. Present
ly, feeling he could not bear the sus
pense any longer, he rose and made
his way to the door, full of uneasy
speculations as to what was happen
ing. Just outside the entrance he
saw the detective coming up, his face
dark with anger and chagrin.
yes, he's given me the slip. You
won't be sorry, suppose" he cried,
in a low voice, with suppressed fury
-"since you did your best to give
him the tip, Mr.. Bonholt Hume!"
Hume was momentarily taken aback
at the unexpected words; then, feign-
ing the utmost surprise, he cried:
Whatever do you mean, my dear
chap? Whom should / give any tip
to? Haven't l said from the first that
never believed this man playing
under the name of Craig was La
thom?"
Before the detective could answer,
diminutive man, with foxy eyes,
whose mouth was bruised and bleed
ing, came running up painting.
Looking for that bloke from the
theater, amt your" he cried, breath
lessly, to the detective-"chap in a

A CLEAN had come sud denly into
'onholt Humes face at the mention
Ralph Strangways. He had been
umiliated that afternoon in his eff

as a pretext for going second time
J the Grange, a chance of succeeding

He cried quickly to the detective:
