Brother Meek still hangs on to the exploded
myth that Ellis is Somebody. He isn't. The
man is incapable of writing creditable let

part of sentence aohdcb PROBES that Christ
meant that the missionaries should not beg
for money!
Besides, he is such a bungler that he vir-
tually admitted that he was imported from

that the local ministers could not, themselves,
afford to do

he thinks Mr.. Watson els dealing with mat

That's funny use of the Latin words, ad
captanduna. IF he had written ad ca1otaaaduno
vuzqus, I could see some sense in it; for the
phrase means, "to please the common people"
/ guess he meant nothing in particular. Just
threw in two words of Latin, as so many af-
fected Americans use bits of French to appear
smart.

Not a Word From Taft or 1hetns
About That Automobile

Sorry to inform you that there's nothing to
report, concerning the proposition made to
Thetus Sims In this little old paper, and in
the Atlanta Constitution, offered to apollo

say that, while Secretary of War, he did not

expense to Washington.

Thetus w. Sims, of Tennessee is still add

tempest in his mental teapot, rose in his
wrath in Congress, denounced me as an "oft-
repudiated renegade, and offered some con-
vincing evidence of the fact that Taft, iaaeza-

shipped one, By eupress, to San Francisco.
Why should Secretary of War buy an

auto, when he was member of the Cabinet;
and it bought him another, when he became
President. o. Samuel has been mighty good
to Mr.. Taft. [ doubt if he can remember
when he had to work for a living. Been in
office, all the way,

the limit And the other Do-nothings who
have been circulating that old newspaper

enough, he'd become good one.

Er-Gov. Folks Timely Farming

Former Governor Folk, of Missouri, has
issued timely warning to the Democrats
along the same line that we have been ham
mering on for weeks.
Says the former Governor:
''The sentiment of the country now is for the
Democratic party, but it is not for the Democratic
party no matter how controlled.
|'The sentiment abroad in the land today is not
real, and not the false, Democratic principles. In
order to profit by that sentiment the Democratic
party must, by platform and by candidate, declare
sincerely for these principles
''In other words, the Democratic party must be
democratic 1t cannot be benefited by the grow
ing sentiment against privilege, if it permit itself
to be controlled by privilege. The party must
for itself but of what it purposes to do for them
AS Mr.. Folk says, the Democratic party
cannot be ruled by the Belmonts, the Ryans
and other special interests and hope to WIN
the confidence of the people.
Just because its name is different from the
party that is ruled by the Steel Trust, the SUI
gar Trust, the Oil Trust and other big Trusts
is no reason why the people will turn from
the Republican party when the Democratic
party is controlled by the same special inter
ests.
The people are tired of being ruled by spe-
cial privilege
They are tired of Aldrichism and Cannon
ism, but there are Aldrichs and Cannons In
the Democratic party, too, and until they are
kicked out of the party, the Democrats will
not gain by the dissatisfaction Of the people.
