Raps the United States for Severance
of Relations.
Managua. Nicaragua, Dec. "a
Ex-President Zelaya today issued a
manifesto declaring that his surren-
der Of the Presidency was caused by
a desire to save Nicaragua the hu-
initiation of outrages threatened by
a powerful nation, which was now
inaugurating decisive influence
over the destiny of Nicaragua. Be-
cause Of his resistance against the
imposition of tutelage, which was
the forerunner Of the conversion Of
the Latin nations Of this continent
into dependencies Of the United
States. he had incurred the hatred Of
that Government inexplicably sever
ed relations with Nicaragua, through
Secretary Knox's letter to the
charge d'affaires. He protested be-
fore the world against the meddiing
of the United States and the threat
to land marines.
The former president declares that
the Americans. Cannon and Groce,
were executed according to law.
This pretext for Intervention, he
asserts. is similar to that employed
when the United States first inter-
vened in Cuba, for there was no
proof that the Maine was blown up
by Spaniards; yet this was taken as
cause for action. Nor is there
any proof That Cannon 80 crocc
were put 20 death unlawfrAy.

trict trustee and a township assess
or. although the school districts are
at present the units of taxation. This
constructional inhibition is disre-
garded In the selection of many edu-
catiOnal boards. and since 1t has
been violated so frequently why
should 1t be continued? A slight
constitutional amendment would
readily relieve the situation. The
tenure Of trustees is now two years.
Since the board has to be appointed

appointive years for school boards

would be the appointment Of trus-
tees for term of three years In
such a manner that a majority of

tiplication Of new districts proceeds
every year in plain violation of Sec
tion s. article II. of the constitu-
ton.
County superintendents are re-
quired to secure reports from trus-
tees and teachers. but, possess no
means OF enforcing the law. Trus-
tees may begin or end the session at
will, without giving notice to coun-
ty school officers. or securing the re-
ports upon which appointments of
public funds must be based. Teach
ere may be employed without prop
er credentials and do not learn of
their ineligibility until they present
their pay warrants for the county
superintendent's approval. A certi-
ficate valid In one county may be
worthless In another. Two schools
of one county may run 80 weeks.
while those Of an adjoining county
can run only 10. The per capita ex-
penditure per white pupil may be

40 years successful experience is
compelled to qualify anew every
second year. while a deploma Sc
cured before the war is a passport
to any class room. These are q few
of the results OF existing laws, to
say nothing whatever of many
points not now embraced in the
statutes.

lists of today are nursing their wrath against
landowners. In their sight, we are crimi-
nails. They seem to believe that we are keep
ing something that is not ours, but theirs.
And Socialist agitators point to the buildings
in cities, and vehemently, ferociously yell out
Those houses are yours. Go and take
them"
| heard Socialist orator say that very
thing to large, applauding crowd, in Kan
sas City, Missouri. The men who cheered this
lncendiary, go-and-take speech, were white
men.
Can you imagine anything more terrible
than combination between this large ele-
ment Of the cities, and the negroes Of Kissis-
sipp5, Louisiana, Aza6anoa, and South Caro-
lima?
Combine the negro, the foreign immigrant,
and the desperate "Have Nots", of the cities,-
and we would see the bloodiest CONFUSION the
world ever knew. They would not wait for
legal, peaceable methods to accomplish this
purpose. They would resort to the bomb, the
torch, the armed Instruction in which Christ
ianity and civilization would be lost.

Ask Your Congressman

The accommodating Representative for
whom you have been voting, and who has
been gladdening your heart with garden seed,
and copies of speeches which read so much
better than the record of his votes,-is in
your midst again, isn't he?
That cordial smile and glad-hand are MAX
ing the rounds of the district once more, are
they not?
Let me make a suggestion. Ask your Con-
gresham few questions. Try to find out
what he did for you, in Washington.
~ Ask him if he is one of the gentle
men who voted themselves an increase in sal
ary,-an increase Of s., 500. per year If he
says "Yes", and defends his action, inquire
his reasons for slipping the Salary Grab
through Congress without record vote. If
the grab was right, why was he unwilling for
his name to 60 on record that way?
o. Ask him whether he is one of the
Democratic deserters who went over to the
Republicans, in the organization of the
House. If he says "Yes', vote against him,
no matter what else he says.
(3) Ask him if he voted with the Lumber
Trust and against free lumber
az Ask him what he has done to put an
end to the Treasury policy, which keeps SO
much of your money in the national banks,
that pay no interest for the use of it,
(5) Ask him what he has done to give to
white men and women, youths and madens,
the offices held by the negroes of Washington
City,-offices which pour more than five mil
lion dollars of your money into the pockets of
those pampered Washington negroes, every
year
Co., Ask whether he was asleep, or what,
when Senator Lodge, of Boston, slipped
clause into the Panama bill requiring the
Government to pay million dollars of your
money for two old 6rvdOc1ro1 I,oCCo1c ho1onor
ing to a Boston firm that was hard up for
cash.
Please ask yow smiling, hand-shal1ing M.
G. what aoas he doing, to allow disgraceful
thing like that to pass him.
There are some other questions which will
be suggested later. These are sufficient to get
you started, and to run your Congressman's
excuse-mil for awhile.)

as stated By me, and that / refused to publish
this reply. Mr.. Corey further says that my
charges "are as flmsy as they are false, and
that | wish my readers ito see one side only.
This is not true, and the readers of THE
JEFFERsoNIAN know it. They have seen me
give space to all sorts of opponents. Even
the man who accused me of robbing the
widow and the orphan, was allowed all the
room he wanted Socialists use the paper,
constantly, to state their side; and departed
from magazine usages to give space, In 7'he
JefersOnia1o monthly, to the best of the de-
fences of prevailing methods in mission work
We published ''the other side", in the mat
ter of the State Sanitarium; and we let va
rous correspondents knock the editor about
things which they don't like.
Our readers will recall several letters which
have been published in the weekly, defending
the foreign missionaries; and will remember
that in my answers to outside attacks I in
variably state what the other man said, before
making the reply. In this way, both sides
are held up to our readers, and they can com
pare the two.
What hurts Bro Corey is that the COM
parison is not to the advantage of big-salary
missionaries, qoh0 are personally interested IN
keeping up the present m-apostozic system.
But while [ am liberal enough to print ''the
other side", on the Mission matter, the de
nominatlonal papers are not. The Christian
Ipdem refused to publish the brief and point
ed letter of Miss Leonora Sheppard, setting
me right, although it had been allowing DR..
Burrows and DR.. Vaughn, and various others,
to use whatever amount of space they needed
to bolster up the system aOhich hires heatlen

You'd have high old time getting DR..
Lovett to print ''the other side" in The Yves
JO1ID1 Ib1a1cf C1oet

There's World Wide Missions and the
IV0man's Missionary AdOocote, and The Ad-
v0cate, Of Nashville and the dear little old
shrieker, Go Foraoard, of the same place =
try them, oh, do try them and ascertain
how ravenously hungry they are to print ''the
other side'.
DR.. Corey says that President A. Mclean
refuted me point by point, and intimates
that [ was afraid to let my readers see the
Mclean refutaton. Bosh and beeswax! Nc
Leans article was so dull, so prosy, so COM.
monplace so stereotyped, that [ did not con-
slider it worthy of publication. He did no
more that repeat the WORKOUT generalities
that everybody has heard. He did not dis
prove single fact stated by me.
But L won't ask you to take my word in
preference to that of DR.. Corey There's Just
one completely satisfactory way to prove who
is telling the TRUTH DR.. Corey or myself.
The issue is this
He says that Mclean confuted me ''point

River Falls Loses the Debate

At the NJ. E. church last Friday
evening the local high school met
New Richmond in what was proba-
bly, the first of a series of annual
joint debates. The subject for de-
bate was the tariff, subject that is
a very live one just now. Both
teams had been we'll prepared for
the struggle, and the debate was in
every way credit to both schools.
At its close the judges, Prof. Par
sons Of the West High, Minneapolis,
Prof. Heard, of the Central High,
Minneapolis, and Miss Graves, of
the Humboldt High, st. Paul, rend-
cred their verdict in favor of the
affirmative, the New Richmond side
Of the debate. The audience in at
tendance was not large, although
New Richmond came down with a
special train.

Base Ball
NJ. w. A. 4-U. o. F. 5

The most interesting game of
base ball played on local grounds
for many years was pulled off
Tuesday afternoon on the high
school campus when the U. O. F.
and the M. w. A. teams crossed
bats. The game lasted thirteen
hard fought innings. Neither side
scored until the first half of the 4th,
when, with two out, F. Symes drop
ped Jenson's third strike, and
throwing wild to WATSON on first,
allowed Hagg and Elertson to tally
two runs for the Foresters. In the
sixth inning Elertson's single scor-
ed Deneen, making it to in favor
of the Foresters, and thus it re-
manned until the last half of the
ninth, when Jensen booted Stewart S
grounder and then threw wild to
first, allowing the Woodmen battery
to score and Elertson contributed
the tie by throwing the sphere into
the crowd and letting Stewart home.
Neither side scored during the next
three innings and it began to look
like an all-night siege, although in
the 18th the Woodmen made a
promising start. Knowles and
WATSON each hit out screeching()
singles to center field but their
team mates couldn't advance them
and their heroic batting was fruit
less. In the last half of the 18th,
however, errors by Tingwall and
Spillcke allowed P. Symes to come
in from second and score the win
ming run.
The twirlers-Jenson, for the
Foresters, and p. Symes for the
Woodmen-were pitching in grand
form. Before the game the Wood
men were generally conceded to be
the stronger team when it was
known that such old-time stars as
w. P, Knowles, Link WATSON, D.
V. Dawson and F. Lindgren were
on the lineup and the Foresters are
to be congratulated upon making
such good showing against them.

CHARLES FRANKLIN WHITE

Charles Franklin White, aged 81
years, months and days, died
Of consumption Tuesday morning
at 2:30 O'Clock, at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Ophelia White, in this
city.
Frank was born in Hartland,
Wisconsin, January IS, 1877. When
twelve years of age he moved with
his parents to Minneapolis where
they resided for a year, after which
they came to River Falls. He soon
became very popular with boys of
this city and at the age of eighteen
organized, and for four years was
leader of an exceptionally proficient
home talent band. His musical
ability led him to adopt that profess
sion, and in 1899 he joined Dana's
Third Regiment Band at Marinette,
Wis, playing a clarinet in that or
ganization and later in Rossiter's
First Regiment Band of Minneapolis
until last summer, when he was
forced to return home on account of
illness. While in Minneapolis he
Joined the Minneapolis Musicians
Association.
Frank was always a favorite
among his associates and his many
friends unite in extending sympa-
thy to his mother and brothers.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Ophelia White of this city, and
six brothers Earnest W., of Port
land, Oregon; Harry D, of Dor
chester, Wis, Ted, of Minneapolis
and Jesse, Arthur and Clarence, of
this city.
The funeral was held at the home

ID. B. Spencer conducting the SER
vices.

lost but one game,

The team was way off form Sat-
urday. 1t was not so much what
New Richmond did, as what River
Falls didn't, that made the score.
Symes did not pitch his usual game
and the team couldn't support any
thing. After the team should have
been out in the first, New Richmond
got two runs. In the second, afte
the team should have been out, they
got five more. In the seventh, three
bad errors after the side should
have been out, gave them four more.
River Falls scored once in the sew
enth and three times in the eighth,
but sthe scores looked lonesome.
