Reader! Why not take Jesus at his word,
and content ourselves with preaching the Cos

effect. Northern newspapers went wild over
the speech and the learned Doctor got free adj
vertising worth many thousands to Tuskeegee

that Booker returned to Alabama greatly re-

One thing that Booker said in his speech, and
which was enthusiastically praised by the
Northern papers, was this:
'You cannot keep any man i'll the ditch,
without staying in the ditch with him.
The learned Doctor was of course abiding

The New York World threw a fit of admira-
ton over this profound remark about the ditch
According to that logic, we Caucasians can
not allow the lower races 70 remain as God
made them, without descending to the level
of those inferior races. If there is any ditch
in the case, God made it, not the Caucasans.

Editorial Notes.
BY J. D. Watson.


The report of Commissioner of Corporations
Smith, on the growth Of the American Tobacco
Company, gives fair example of what the
Trusts are able to do under Our present laws
in the way of crushing the little fellow and &C
cumulating millions by the process.
In 1890 the American Tobacco Company had
a capital Of $25ooo,ooo, while today it has lex
Guiding inter company holdings) net capital
izat1on of 1910, 346821.
This shows an increase of over $2oI, 900 900
in nineteen years.
Who believes that any business could in
crease SO in such length of time by doing a
legitimate business?
The methods of the Tobacco Trust are the
same as other Trusts use in making their i'm
mense fortunes, and who is to blame !?
The people indirectly and our laws di-
rectly
But after all the people are responsible for
the laws.
The representatives whom the people elect
to make their laws would soon enact laws by
which the Trusts could be controlled if the
people would wake up.
If the people will arouse themselves, the
Courts would soon begin to hesitate before a
law was declared unconstitutional
Watch your 4aw-making representative and
when he begins to represent the trust instead
OF you, crack his head at the next election
and elect another man to take the lob
Let the people try this simple remedy for
awhile and see what wonderful change there
will be-
So the Hon. Philander C. Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania is to be Mr. Tafts Secretary of State
and Righthand Bower anyhow.
Although Knox, as Senator, made himself in
eligible to hold the office by voting for an in
crease in the salary of the same, yet we must
shave him.
AS Attorney General, Mr. Knox didn't bust
many Trusts by prosecutions, and, undoubted-
ly, the Trusts will think Mr. Taft has made
very wise selection for his chief cabinet officer
And how is Knox to be made eligible after
making himself ineligible?
Trust our able Senators to solve the prob
lem
They simply put the salary back to where it
was before Knox voted for the increase SO that
Knox would not be "embarrassed' by being
barred by the Constitution.
When the salary of Secretary of State was
increased, the salary of the President and every
other Cabinet officer was increased in like pro-
portion
When the salary Of Secretary of State was

The PavSOn Was Wrong.

Il
The Gwinnett News-H Herald has the follow
ing item:
Rev Charles II. Branch preached an I'm
usually strong missionary sermon at the Meth
odist church Sunday morning after which {!
collection was taken and $Ioo.05 contributed.
He handled without gloves the recent state
ment of Tom Watson that 90 per cent of the
money contributed to missions never reached
the foreign field The records of the Methodist
church show that only per cent is required
to meet every expense and the minister stated
that doubtless the Baptist and Presbyterian
churches could show equally as good hnancer-
ing"
Parson Branch misrepresents the old man.
It, was the New York World which made the
statement that 90 per cent of the mission funds
failed to reach the heather. The Jeffersonian
specifically declined to endorse the assertion.
1t seems to us that ministers of the Gospel
should be careful to speak nothing but the
truth, when they take advantage of the pulpit
to denOunCe fellow citizen by name
They should not permit their devOuring zeal
for the heather to lead them to the extent of
slandering their brethren 1t was not in good
taste for Parson Branch to personate Mr. Wat
son at all but, if he found it impossible to re-
sist the temptation, he should have religiously
adhered to the truth
Ii what he said is correctly reported III the
above clipping, the good Parson wandered very
far from the truth.
The fact of the business is, that the old mans
position this missionary matter is so Bib
liCal, and so full of horse sense, that the men
who attack it won't gain much by it, unless
they msrepresent him.
Christ told his disciples to go and preach the
gospel to all the world Let the glad tidings
of salvation pierce the remotest regions of the
inhabited globe. Mr.. Watson contends that
the word preach, MEANS preach. He con-
tends that the word preach does not mean feed,
Clothe and educate. He contends that the de-
livery of the message of Jesus does not include
the maintenance of a cOmmiSsary and the fur
nishing of board tuition, books, fuel and medi-
cine to the yellow, brown and black children of
the Orient
He contends that the establishment and
expensive support of free Kindergartens,
schools and colleges, to give an English edu-
cation to Hindus Chinese and Japanese, is al,
together mistaken policy, so long as we leave
our own children to grow up without the ad-
vantages which we are giving to the heather.
The little white boys and girls of Our own
race constitute our national household. And
the good Book tells us that he who provideth
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-02-25

Mr.. Taft's, the Secretary Of Wars the other
Secretaries, the Vice Presidents, and Speaker
Joe Cannons all remain the same as since the
increase.
But the Secretary of States the most impof-
tant in the Cabinet, was reduced, and only on
Knoxs account.
If the salary of the most important Cabinet
officer was reduced why not the salaries of the
lesser important?
Doesn't it look like Mr. Taft, and the Sen
ate, were paying some campaign pledge, and
the pledge was the most important Cabinet
portfolio?
Who will dare accuse the present Senate of
being hostile to the, Trusts, and who can prove
to any fair-minded man that the Trusts are
hostile to Mr.. Philander c. Knox's appoint
ment to the position of Secretary of State?
During Ieffersons, or Jacksons time the
Senate would not have dared violate the letter
and meaning of the Constitution by any such
action
What is the difference in making law to
let man hold office and whtewashing one
Trust?
The Senate has passed the>Pension bill car
rving an appropriation of $16o,ooo,ooo and the
Army bill appropriatng $Io2, 100000.
This Congress should be known as the Con
gress that squandered the taxpayers money"
oHly lew ySdlS ago congress l1ldI spent
one billion dollars of the taxpayers money
caused alarm throughout the country, and at
the next election the majority of the members
OF the succeeding Congress were members of
the opposite party to the party that was in
control during the Billion Dollar Congress-
Enough of the members of this Congress
(the first under President Harrisons admins
tratlon) were defeated to give the Democrats
in the next House majority and dethrone
Hon. Thos B. Reed as Speaker.
But things didn't change.
The Democratic House allowed more of the
peoples money spent than had tom" Reeds
Billion Dollar Congress-"
Then followed the next presidential election
with Mr.. Clevelands victory over Mr. Harri-
son.
Everything then Democratic, the Presi-
dent and Congress, and the country was
SAVED.
Yes, we all know what Mr.. Cleveland and
his Democratic Congress did for us.
We have been told often enough, not to
know, how ]. P. Morgan got the whip hand
of that administration
The first Congress after the Billion Dollar
Congress" spent more money than the preced-
ing Congress.
The present Congress will spend almost
Two billion dollars Of our money.
The Billion Dollar Congress" was Repub-
lican Congress, and the following Congress that
raised the limit on the billion was Democrat
ic Congress.
That is the way it goes either old party and
the same old game is played on the taxpayer.
