Mrs. Briggs Speech.

If brevity 10 the soul of wit, one of
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part Of Indiana, long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach in a township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent, and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this. and was
30 pleased that at the close of the SER
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity. and
said
II hoofed It,"
Then she sat down again.-Youth's

kenosha Man Will Inherit Fortune If
He Can snake Good"

He Can make Good"
Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 13.-Martinus P.
Whittier is poor toolmaker in one of
the Kenosha factories, but he has an
incentive to work and, if he is able
to make good he will be in possession
of a small fortune at the end of three
years. Whittier was named for Mar
tinus Peterson, an eccentric bachelor
of Omaha, and when the will of Peter
son was filed for probate last Satur-
day it included an inheritance of
$4,000 for the Kenosha namesake.
However, it was stipulated that be.
fore Whittier should inherit the money
he must show the executors that he is
able to command an income of $4,000
a year. Three years is given for Win
Their to reach this point. He is now
making in the neighborhood of $25 a
week, but he is something of an artist
and he believes that by making pic
lures by day and working as a tool
maker at night he can claim his for

Der, 1906. His uncle, William w.
Deitz, and Herman Voight of Cameron,
Barron county, son-in-law of John F.
Deitz, went bail for the young man.
Trial was set for Nov. 7. At that
time the Horel warrant also will come

Clarence seemed immensely pleased
when the judge admitted him to bail.
He did not say anything about his
parents or ask to see them. He left
for Cameron and will remain in Gus
tody of Voight. John DeitZ has &C
cepted Rubin & Beahle, Milwaukee at

While Myra Deitz has been lying on
a cot in the Ashland hospital, romance

TEDDY SCORES JACK-PoTTERS
COLONEL SAYS NO MAN SHOULD
ASSOCIATE WITH THEM.
Speaks to Catholics Knights at Peoria
Praisinq Work They Are
Doing.

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct 13.--Ex-President
Roosevelt came up from South into
Illinois, denounced corrupt legislators
and commended work which the Cath
Ollie church is doing. Leaving St.
Louis he travelled across the southern
end Of Illinois, speaking at several
places on the way. In Peoria he was
the guest Of the Knights of Columbus,
to whom he made speech at dinner.
1t was Colonel Roosevelt's first pub
lie utterance to Roman Catholic since
the vatican incident last spring. He
said he favored the broadcast measure
of religious liberation.
In a brief speech to the crowd at
the railroad station at Springfield,
Colonel Roosevelt made what was
construed as reference to the allaga-
tons of corruption in the Illinois leg
islature. Hardly had he begun to
speak when a man in the crowd called
out:
"Give it to the jack-potters, COL
onel"
The others in the crowd to whom
the expression had become a familiar
one since the confession of members
of the Illinois legislature that they
had shared in corruption fund which
was called the Jack pot" applauded.
Colonel Roosevelt took it up and at
tackled the men involved in the legisla-
tive scandal as vigorously as he did
in his speech last month at the Hamil-
ton club banquet in Chicago, from
which Senator Lorimer was excluded
Good, my friend, I am glad to hear
you say that" he said "No man
who is worth his salt will have any,
thing to do with any one of the crea-
lures who was tainted in that scandal.
The most important thing before us
as a people is to drive from public
life the corruptionist, the bribe-taker,
the bribe-giver The men whom you
speak of as jack-pottters are traitors
to the American people, traitors Of
the basest kind, and it is Infamous in
anyone to condone their iniquity or to
support them and stand behind them,

same token that they were insur-
gents, they are now the victors; for
they certainly met success in their
efforts, were victorious in their bat
ties. Every Objectionable officer was
removed, every incompetent replaced.
And men of the highest type were
elected to fill their places. So it has
ever been. Mismanagement always
comes to light. Misrule ever comes
to an untimely end Yet the men
convicted of error will ever strive to
disparage those who show their real
character to the world.
AS soon as the convention opened
two things were soon seen. A deter
mined effort was to be made to retain
President Lee in office. Equally de-
termined was the effort on the part
of others to replace him with another
man. And then there was a goodly
number Of delegates who came unin-
structed and uniformed as to the
real condition of affairs in the Union.
They wanted to be shown; they were
shown. For as soon as the BUSH
whacking by imported talent for the
purpose of boosting the old admins
tratiOn was over, and the convention
was duly organized, the convention
began to investigate.
Now, many things transpired at
this convention that should never
have appeared in the public press.
The editor of this department has
always held that most of the trans
actions of the Union should be kept
secret, and is still of the same opin-
ion. Yet since some of the Union
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-09-15

brethren have seen fit to give out GER
tain mis-statements concerning the
proceedings of this convention, we
undertake here to tell the truth about
the things that have already been
published. In doing this we have no
apology to make. We desire to di-
vulge no secrets of the Union. But
if lie has been started. it. were as
we'll to nail it with the truth as soon
as possible.
The charge against President Lee
was brought by Tatnall county dele
gates, on the ground that he annulled
the charter of the Enterprise Local
unjustly and without cause. This in
vestigatiOn occupied a half day of
the convention and was very thor
ough so far as this particular charge
was concerned. After the investiga-
ton motion to restore the charter
of the local in question was support
ed by the counsel and friends of Lee,
being passed unanimously. The feel
ing for Lee was one of pity as was
evidenced by the words which were
appended to the motion to restore
the charter; without questioning
President Lees honesty"
Another half day of trial and in
vestigation followed This time it
was the good old county of Coffee
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-09-15

that was the complainant. Charge:
Another case of chloroforming by
President Lee. EX-brother Allen and
J. Walter Hendrix, of Coffee, were
the star witnesses for the prosecu-
ton; while a certain bright and shin
ing light of Wayne county shed light
to the acts of Lee, and incidentally
added a few rays to his own efful-
gence. Inasmuch as Lee saw fit to
hide behind the executive committee
in this matter, they, too, received
back-hander from the convention
when Coffee County Union was
brought to life after it's veritable Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep since the blustery
days Of January.
The Lee followers could have had a
dog-fall out of the Coffee county mat
ter if they had been contented to do
SO, but instead they chose to take a
good drubbing. They had the nerve
to offer a resolution to exhonerate
Lee. This was voted down by the
convention by close vote. After re-
fusing to exhonerate Lee. the con-
vention by practically unanimous
vote, restored the charter to Coffee
county; without prejudice to the mo-
tives of President Lee, Whatever that
may mean.
While the trial was not enlivened
by the testimony of President Lee,
there was more or less diversion in
the way Of oratory by the counsel of
both sides, as we'll as the appearance
of L. H. o. Martin, of Ebert county,
as associate counsel for Lee; and
though the convention did not have

these columns, as many Union men
take no Union paper besides The
Cultivator, and rely exclusively on
this paper for the news of the Unions
doings. And then the reports in the
daily papers were so inaccurate and
misleading that it were well that
certain impressions were corrected,
that were spread broadcast through
the newspapers. Why the Press Com
mittee of the convention would cause
to be published such false reports of
the proceedings of the convention
would be difficult to understand un-
less one happened to know the per-
sonnet of this committee. Then it
would be clearly understood as a last
effort to bolster up in the eyes of the
public a discredited and defeated ad-
ministration. and as an effort to dis
parage set of men who were Wig
orously but conscientiously laboring
to put out of office set of incom-
petents and to replace them with
men of worth and character.
These men who fought for the
right were styled insurgents. Well,
