we have every reason to believe that
our judgment was then at fault, as
his very recent acts stamp him as be-
longing to the rule or ruin class,
which units him either for a news
paper man or a statesman. Watson
abandoned the Democratic party to
become a Populist that he might
effect some good for the masses. Fail
ing to make the Roadway expected,
he came back into the Democratic
fold to secure results. AS a ma
jority Of Democrats did not see fit

tom Watson has outgrown his
usefulness" To the special interests
he has. To those who use politics
for selfish ends, and by influencing
the ignorant voter to aid them to
exploit the natural resources of the
world, he is not useful But to OPP
pressed humanity, he is the greatest
character of the age. He is one of
the few great men of this century,
who is sacrificing great personal OPP

phase of mankind who toll and spin.
yet enjoy none of the luXuries they
create. The Savior was traduced by
the Pagans who were injured by His
teachings, in which He wished to
bring about equality and brotherly
love among mankind. And Tom Wat
son is no exception to the rule He,
like other brave and unselfish men
who were ahead of their time, must
suffer for standing for principle
rather than policy
What amuses us is that both of the
old parties are about to break their
necks to see which can adopt the
principles that have been preached
by Tom Watson for more than TWEEN
ty years. What we really need is a
dozen Tom Watsons in every state
Does not the editor of The Meteor
know that prejudice and not reason
rules our people? That party slavery
is what brought our country to it's
present bad plight? The apostles of
truth in every age have been per-
secuted. Martin Luther, one of the
worlds greatest men, if measured by
the good he did, had a hard road to
travel. Yet by bravely standing by
what he believed to be right, he took
the shackles of superstition from the
necks Of that part of the human race
that has reached the highest civiliza-
ton, and now rules the world. Tom
Watson is vilified by the Pagans of
commerce, just as the Pagans of a
false religion vilified the Savior of
man. These modern Pagans, by ap-
prOpriating to themselves those
things that God intended that all of
His children should enjoy, have &C
cumulated such vast wealth that they
are menace to the church and
state. They have corrupted society,
and killed the high ideals that beau
titled the social conditions of the
south. Tom Watson, with unerring
judgment, sees the trend so wildly
portrayed by present conditions and
with an unselfshness that is sublime
to contemplate, dedicates his life to
their cause.
The press of the state never fail to
copy everything said against Tom
Watson, but never quote anything in
his favor.-Tarpon Springs (Fla.)
