ties everybody needs the sound of the
Spirit, which Is the word of God.
Truth is to be interpreted in the
light of experiences. Not all Bible words
mean the same to all people. Nor dc
they mean the same to any one person
at different periods in his growth.
Character progresses from need to need,
and the message that was the word in
season for youth is not the message
for age, with its burdens and SORROWS.
Still more remarkable is the way Bible
passages unfold into larger meanings,
with fuller experience. The promise
which was once priced for Its surface
meaning becomes tenfold more precious
after 1t has been put to the deep test
of need. Nobody has ever outgrown
the Bible; nobody has ever really grown
up to the level of the Bible.

Trust the Bible. not as a fetish or
talisman, which you are to be saved
by daily repetitions of. but as cap
tain's order. to be heard and obeyed
at your peril.-John Ruskin.
Nothing is revealed in the Bible
which cannot be transmitted into life.
H. C. Weston. .....
The old fashion of committing Bible
verses to msnory is perhaps not so
common as it once was: although there
is undoubtedly a larger amount of
Bible study. There is much to be said
for the storing of the mind full of the
great and beautiful words of Holy
Writ in early youth. The entire char
acter of a persons speech and thought
is Influenced thereby. The Bible, that
famous well of English undefiled,"
has done more to preserve the dignity
and purity of The tongue than any 9TH
er agency. If a person reads only the
Bible he is bound to become refined in
thought and character In later life,
the truths stored away as a mere
memoronic exercise become weapons
and defenses IN the crises of the soul.
1t is not the truths in the Bible. but
the Bible truths in our minds, that
help US in emergencies.

er words, the present system gives representa-
ton to people who don't vote the Republican
ticket in the South, and to those who don't
vote the Democratic ticket in the North. Fhe
rule should be, that representation should be
confined to those who do vote these respective
tickets.
IF the Democratic party should adopt the
suggestion herein presented, the South would
at once regain her control over the Democrats
of the Union. At present she is expected to
furnish the vote which elects a Democratic
President and yet she is overwhelmingly out
numbered in the national convention which
selects the candidate and writes the platform.
In the national convention of 1908, the South
ern States were not only ignored, but out
rageously insulted. Yet they had to support
the candidate and indorse the platform. In
like manner, the negro delegations from the
South have time and again been the balance
of power in the Republican national conven-
TONS It seems to me that this situation
would become intolerable to the leaders who
vote the old party tickets, and that it would
be an easy matter for them to escape its thral-
dom. The Republican National Convention
ought to be controlled By those States a0Aich
give Republican moajorities. The Democratic
party should be controlled By those States
qohlch g5Ve Democratic mo0j0r5ties. At pres
ent both the old parties are controlled by
those States which never cast a ma ority for
the candidates and the platforms which they
dictate to the national conventions.

Will John Lee Investigate Duck
worth. Also?

Without moments delay, President John
Lee, of the Georgia Farmers Union, sum-
moned before his Executive Committee GER
tain country parson,-a poor man, In this
worlds goods,-on whose trail the great John
has been camping these many months.
This country parson would not bow down
and worship the great John, and hence the
persistent persecution
At length it came to John, in way that /
shall properly describe hereafter, that this
parson had agreed to do certain work for
Congressman Charles Edwards. When con-
fronted by the accusation, the parson prompt
ly admitted the facts and defended them.
His defense was promptly Overruled, and
he was officially censured. Of that matter, [
will have more to say hereafter.
My Immediate purpose is, to direct John
Lees keen eyes to the columns of the Union
Nea0s, our paper.
In this paper of ours, Duck has been pub
fishing editorials favorable to Congressman
Charles Edwards. One of these was in our
paper last week; one the week before; and
another, some time previous.
These editorials are grabbed up by Ed
wards and circulated as part of his Itera-
ture. He uses these editorials for the pur-
pose Of showing our Farmers Union breth-
rem that our paper is favorable to him, the
said Edwards.
Now, John Lee, do you believe that it is an
accident that these editorials are appearing in
our paper, just at this time, when Edwards
knows that it will take miracle to save him
from deserved punishment?
Is Duckworth writing those "pieces' for
his health?
BY the bye Duck is also a parson. Are
you going to treat his work for Edwards as
you did that of the other parson?

ATLANTA, GA, JUNE 8, 1910.
A Reform Needed By Both the Old
Parties

It is very great pity that the leaders of
the two old parties cannot come together
quietly and agree upon the elimination of the
negro from politics. The very first step
which should be taken in this direction should
be to change the basis of representation in
national conventions.
AS long as the Southern States continue to
be rotten boroughs, so far as the Republican
party is concerned, the power of the negro to
dictate terms will continue. What sense is
there in having the delegations from States
gohich never go Republican exercise the same
control in the national conventions as those
which always go Republican? The delegates
from Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and other Southern States, have
just as much power in the national conven-
tions as those that cast a ajority for the Re-
publican ticket in every election. This, of
course, is unnatural and inequitable. 1t can
not be defended.
In like manner the Democratic party is
burdened by this same n0nsensical system
which gives to PENNSYLVANIA, Illinois, Ohio
and other Republican States as full represen-
tation in the national conventions of the Dem
ocratic party as though these States were re-
liably Democratic.
Why shouldn't both the old parties get rid
of this ancient, absurd system? Why
shouldn't the editors take the matter up and
advocate the basis of representation in the
national conventions upon the cote cast at the
last national election? To the extent that
Georgia cast votes for the Republican ticket
In 1908, the Republicans of the State should
have representation in the national conven-
ton of the Republican party in 1912. To the
extent that Pennsylvania cast Democratic
votes in the Presidential election of 1908, that
State should have representation in the Dem
ocratic National Convention of 1912 In 9TH

How Congressman HardWIck
Treated a Lady

had written him months ago. AS great deal
of dictation has been given since that time,
my Secretary had more than score OF note
books to examine She has been In bad health,
and seeing, toward the close of last Monday,
that she was tired out, and had not been able
to find the letter, I suggested that she send
telegram to Mr.. Hardwick, stating that he
could save her tedious labor by furnishing
her copy of the letter.
Under the law, the letter is my property,
not Hardwiclz's; and therefore her request
for copy was perfectly reasonable.
She and Mr.. Hardwick are personally &C
quainted. She has sh0a01a him ever,y courtesy
at ma house. It was Miss Needham who re-
ceived him, the last time he called None Of
US knew that he was in town; and it was
growing so late that my wife was preparing
to retire for the night.
Miss Needham has nothing to do with the
controversy between Hardwick and I; and
she naturally supposed that personal appeal
to the Congressman, asking that he relieve
her of some tedious work by simply having
letter of mine copied, would be cheerfully
granted.
Here is copy of her telegram:
May 3Oth.
Hon. Thos. w. Hardwick, House Representatives,
Washington, D. G.
of December first, from Mr. Watson, to which you
refer in Sundays Constitution? This will save
fatiguing search through my notes.
MAUDE NEEDHAM, Sec'y.
What would have been your response to
request of that kind, made by lady of your
acquaintance? Wouldn't you have been
ashamed to refuse it?
Well, Hardq0ich q0a8mt lie did not evem
comdescend to ANSWER Mss Needh0na, at all.
To her personal request for personal favor,
which would spare her tedious work, she re-
ceived no personal reply from the naughty
Congressman.
His Secretary wired her as follows:
Washington, D. c.. May 31st.
Miss Maude Needham,
Thomson, Ga.
Mr. Hardwick directs me to say that he will be
glad to furnish copy of letter referred to upon
quest of Mr.. Watson.
E. T. sHURLEY, Sec'y.
Of such boorishness as this it is difficult to
speak in measured terms. A man who DELHI
erately snubs and ignores a lady-directing
his Secretary to rudely deny her modest re-
quest-deserves the contempt of every right
thinking citizen.
Hardwick knew very we'll that, after his
venomous attack on me, [ would never make
any "request" of him. The letter which
wanted was written him by my own hand
as [ now recollection the Sunday before o.
tober 10, 1909.
His lengthy autograph answer bears date
of October 10, 1909. His own letter shows
the nature of mine. In said letter, was put
ting him on notice that his desertion of his
post of duty, and his unprovoked attacks on
me, in his speeches in 1908, had caused
change in my feelings toward him.

mp PRICE ON TICKETS.
Plan - Corporation Commission Pro-
tectt Purchaser and Ticket Agent.

n. d. McCollom, joint ticket agent
here for he three railroad companies
that have lines in the city, has just
completed a very tiresome job stamp
ing the price on all interstate tick
cts which ne has in stock. There were
tickets in stock by the thousand and
each one had to bear in figures the
price at which it was to be sold. This
was done in compliance with an order
from the corporation commission. The
reason for the order was probably
found in this class of complaints which
came from parties making purchases
of tickets and demanding rebate OF
portion of same. When demand for
rebate was made the purchaser often
stated that he had paid price which
was in excess of the company's rates.
In many instances no doubt the pur-
chaser had made a mistake in the
price he had paid for the ticket, and
in some cases the agents may have
overcharged for tickets. While. Mr..
McCollum said the task of stamping
tickets was a large one that it was a
protection to him as well as to the
purchaser of the ticket. In buying in
tarctata tickets q nurchaSer can Gee !
stamped upon the ticket the price the
railway company demands for the
ticket and the careful man will not
pay more than the stamped price.

CAN'T MAKE RAIN BY NOISE.
The Weather Rureap Says Every Tria!

Washington Aug. 30.-Government

on the Pacific coast in the hope of
producing rain in view of further re-
quests for a bombardment of the heav-
ems with the big guns of the coast
artillery at Puget Sound and at the
mouth OF the Columbia river in the
hope of bringing rain on the forest
fires of the Rocky mountains. The war
department today asked the weather
bureau an opinion of the probable eff
ficiency of the experiment.

in reply explained that the only result
probably would be to create a field,
for years to come, for charlatans hav-
ing in a measure the sanction of the
government for their operations, TO
prey on the creduity Of the public and
to secure both private and public rev.
enue for their efforts to produce rain

congress the agricultural department
expended $4,000 in the effort to Gre
ate rain by bombarding the clouds

Returning from Muskogee tonight
Governor Haskell announced the ap-

high to succeed former District Judge
]. b. A. Robertson of Chandler as a
member Of the capital commission.
Robertson sent in his resignation yes
terday, but refused to give his rea-
sons for quitting his new job. 1t is
said he was "sore" because Tate
Brady of Tulsa was made chairman
instead of himself and Robertson was
not pleased because the capitol site
was selected by the governor before
naming the commission.
Haskell denies emphatically the re-
port that he is going to call for res
ignations of all three commissioners
and that he will not reappoint them
unless they agree to do his bidding.
He says Leo Bennett of Muskogee and
Tate Brady will remain on the COM
