A LETTER AND A COMMENT.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-When you wrote
up Socialism you quoted from the
leaders. If Populism was written up
you would be quoted. In politics I
am your friend, and have been
through the trying years. In reli-
gion, | am John Wesley Methodist
Now, I come to ask you favor. In
the last issue of your weekly you
write on the subject of Holiness. I
ask you to be as fair to us as to the
Socialists. I, therefore, refer you to
Wesley's Plain Account of Christian
Perfection, and to his sermon on Sin
in Believers. I think you can get
these from any Methodist preacher.
| also refer you to the following liv-
ing leaders: Rev. G. w. Mathews, Sa-
vannah, Ca; Rev. E. M. Bounds,
Sandersville, Ca; Rev. G.. G. Cory,
Atlanta, Ga. Those out of the State
[ wish you to investigate are Rev. H.
G. Morrison, Louisville, KY, and Rev.
Joseph Smith, Meridian, Miss Any,
or all, of these will give you a state
ment of what they teach. Rev. Mr..
Chadwick will lead the meeting at
Indian Springs next summer. You
might take a day off and see what he
teaches. | think you will find that
none of them teach that they can't
sin. None claim to be saints in the
sense you refer, / don't think. I am
sure you are not the one who will

THE ATLANTA MERCHANTS AND
THE NEGRO PAPER.

Dear Sir:-Don't you think the At
lanta merchants ought to be made to
quit patronizing negro paper which
every week pours such poisonous
tommyrot in the minds of the black
race as the enclosed editorial? This
paper is full of advertisements given
by white men. They perhaps never
see the paper and are, therefore,
ignorant of what kind of thing they
are patronizing.
Such statements can do no good
whatever, that I see, except breed
strife and SOW the seeds of discord.
They show the stupendous ingrati-
tude and amazing gall of that negro
editor.
I call your attention to this matter
for what you think it is worth.
Through your columns you could
perhaps reach the merchants, and
stop much of this rot which this ne
gro is giving to his race each week.
I wish the negro race we'll. 1t is not
prejudice that caused me to take is
sue with the enclosed article, but it
is the welfare of the negro's own
race which l seek in asking that such
diatribes against the white man be
hushed
Yours truly,
READER
Comment: I agree with you. If
such men as George Muse would read
B. J. Davis editorial, they would
quit advertising with such a South
hating, social-equality negro.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

misquote a people; you have had
some of that to contend with your
self. Especially on Foreign Missions.
Now, as to this SHINING business,
beg to give you my Individual opln-
ion. I do not believe that any Chris
tian sins. 1t seems to me that you
had as we'll call thief an honest
man as to call man who voluntarily
breaks Gods law Christian. NO
act can be a sin, as I see it, unless It
is done willingly and knowing that 1T
is. sin. You lawyers wouldn't let
man hang who killed by accident.
You lay great stress on the intent.
I leave the Holiness part for the
leaders, if you will look into it. Be
lieving as do, have very little faith
in the Christianity of the average
professor of religion. Yes, the
churches discourage Holiness just as
they do almost everything that is any
account, except the collections. IL l
am not mistaken, they have d1scour-
aged you in your effort to relieve the
masses from oppression. This Is TOO
long. I feel sure that you Will state
our case fairly, and then shell us
for not living up to it as much as you
nlease. Read what Wesley says
Methodist is, and then you will nave
our ideal.
Very truly your old friend,
r. T. ABERNETHEY
Forsyth, Ga.
7 forgot to tell you that think the
man who would fill another with
shot, or invade his home, would
thereby add another star to his
crown. It would be no sin.
My friend, Alternately, must bear
in mind that my comments on Holt
ness were confined to the letter and
the statements therein made.
But would there be no sin, in
shooting the fleeing adulterer? |
think there would be. Not only
would such killing be manslaughter
under our law, but it would be a
violation of the Ten Commandments.

DOMESTIC HEATHEN IGNORED
FOR FOREIGN HEATHEN NEEDS.

Dear Sir:-Your answer to the
gentlemen who challenged you to a
debate with Mr.. Ellis in Atlanta, on
the subject of Foreign Missions, was
manly and courageous-you did eX-
actly right, and all must see that the
position taken in your reply is I'M
assailable. I hope you will never let
up ON the subject till reason and
Biblical methods take the place of
enthusiasm and folly.
Do the readers of The JeffersOnian
know that for years the Methodists
and Baptists have been sending "for-
eign missionaries to the Protestant
countries of Europe? The Methodists,
especially, are acting in this direction

ANENT EXPRESS 90. METHODS.

Dear Sir:-In the "Bookkeeper"
for January 10th I came across an
article that appeals to me, and
should do SO to every philanthropist
in the Union. It is an article in re-
gard to a college, or high school, in
the mountains of Tennessee at Cum
berland Gap. 1t is called the Lin
coin Memorial University" and while
it has a Understanding name, I sup
pose the work is all o. K, furnishing
the means whereby the boys and
girls of the mountains can obtain an
education.
My object in writing you is to call
attention to the school and to in
quire if the same is worthy of our
encouragement and support. Here is
an opportunity for the people to help
our own boys and girls to get an edu-
cation instead of sending their money
off to Africa and China. AS you are
pretty we'll up on all these things
kindly let us know something about
this school in the mountains, and if
worthy of our encouragement [, for
one, will do all [ can to help them
out.

Answer.
We have no information concern
ing the school mentioned. There is
no better location for such an institu-
ton, however. You might write to
Col. Jno B. Brownlow, of Knoxville,
Tenn If he does not know, he will
find out.
The Emma Perry School, Dublin,
Ca, r. 4, is a most worthy under
taking. 1t is struggling into exist
ence under many difficulties. The
plucky little woman deserves univer-
sal and hearty support. T. E. w.

HOW TO SIMPLIFY MONEY ISSUE.

Dear Sir:-I have been a sub
scriber of all your papers and maya
zines from The Peoples Party Paper
to the present time. / also have the
three volumes of your STORY of
France which [ wish every human
being in the world could read.
Now, without taking up too much
of your time and space, please answer
the following questions on the money
situation:
We all know that under our pres
ent national banking system, with
the whole volume of our currency in
the hands of the national banks, they
can force a panic on the United
States any day in the year they
please. They can loan when they
please, and refuse when they please.
Now, here is the questiOn,-when we
abolish the national banks, as you
think ought to be done, and as l
think ought to be done, and issue
the money direct to the people, with
out interest, I can see how part of
the money could get into circulation
by paying off all the Government en-
ployees-such as the standing army
and navy, postmasters, rural mail
carriers, congressman, and so on,
if all this didn't get money enough
into circulation, in what other way
could it be issued directly to the peo-
pie?
Very truly yours,
S. J. SMITH.
Jackson Ga.
Answer.
.~~ The Government could build rail-
roads and canals, or could lend
money on land, to farmers and
others, as it actually is doing in the
Philippines, and as the British Gov
eminent practically does in Ireland.
Suppose our Government had is
sued greenbacks, instead of bonds, to
pay the expenses of digging the Pana-
ma canal! T. E. w.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-10

Dear Sir:-Please state in The
JeffersOnian if the Government is
back of all the national paper cur
rency that is in circulation?
Do the national banks issue a GER
tain amount of currency on their own
account?
Please give us the law and the
real facts. SUBSCRIBER.

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-10
Answer.

Every dollar of the National bank
currency is secured by United States
bonds.
The total is $681,872,4 400. In
brief, the law allows the national
banks to deposit United States bonds
with the Federal Government, which
to circulate as money, to an amount
equal to the face value of the bonds.
The banks draw interest on the
bonds, all the time that they remain
on deposit.
The advantages to the banks are:
CD Interest twice on the same
money,
CD Exemption from taxation on
the bonds and very slight tax on
the money-one-half of one-per cent,
semi-annually paid
CD Power to eXpend and con-
tract the currency, thus controlling
prices.
(4) Virtual partnership with the
United States Government, and the
free use of the peoples money in
their private business.

for private gain.

BISHOP milan
WAS C0NSECRA7ED
Many Dignitaries and Distinguished
cIergymen of the Catholic Church
Participated.
INV Union Associated Press


Hartford, Conn, April 2S.-With i'm
posing ceremonies, participated in by
many dignitaries and distinguished
clergymen of the Catholic church, the
Rev. John J. Milan was today conse-
Grated bishop of Hartford. This dio-
cese has been without bishop since
the death of Bishop Tierney on Oc-
tober 5, 1908. For year and half
the diocese has been directed by
board of vicars-general.
The delay in the appointment of
bishop was caused by a change in
canonical law about two years ago,
when the appointment of bishops was
transferred from the propaganda to
the csnsistorial congregation. This
meant that instead of the pope nam
ing bishop the giving out of the mi
tres is now in the hands of the con-
sistory, which meets only at specified
times and has at its meetings mass
of business to transact. 1t has been
demonstrated Slice TIE ihduS Sui oeoii
of the new regime that the making of
an American bishop is tedious pro-
cess in the hands of the consistory.
Hartford has $4,000 Catholics and
more than half of the children in that
diocese attend Catholic schools.
, Bishop Milan was born in Boston il
1854. He was educated at the Jesui
College in that city. He made hi
studies for the priesthood in Troy
l. where he was ordained in 1878. H
d was curate of St. James church, |
> Boston, until 1898, when he was mad
n pastor at Amesbury to succeed Bisho
Brady, the auxiliary bishop of Bostol
