UNCLE JOE CANNON

NO matter Wnat may be the opinion
of Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter if
he may be looked upon by some as
a car, and by others as a big warm.
hearted man, with many of the in.
stincts that make humanity very bear.
able, all will admit that he is a man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore
on any subject, will have weight. OBJ
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent of a Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
for Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly we'll the personal,
of the man. The correspondent SAYS
he launched out into personal bi.
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broad pro.
family and sentimental poetry such as
n rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian ia.
rim, and then said: "People saw 7
break the Ten Commandments, all of
them. But l don't, at least not often.
l did freak one of them up in Canada
two or three years ago. AS | rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
your great West and saw the finest
wheatields in the world, | thought of
Virginia and a lot of our States. and
l smashed the Tenth Commandment
every hour of the journey. Yes. sir,

wing from a man of the fame of Mr..

have some weight with the Americans

vantages that are offered to them in

Critics and MANAGERS Clash.

Between the whole press of Copen-
hagen and all the theatrical managers
a curious contest has started because
the managers want to compel the
critics to write only favorable notices.
The contest began when the board of
theatrical managers forbade the ad-
mission of one critic representing a
special theatrical paper.

Modifies Golden Reward Injunction

Deadwood-1n a somewhat modified
form, Judge Rice in the circuit court,
made permanent the injunction secur-
ed by the Golden Reward Mining COM
pany against the Terry Peak Miners
union, restraining the union men from
in any way interfering with the non
union workmen. The court held that
as the acts complained of ceased i'm
mediately upon granting the temper
airy injunction, the union appeared to
have been responsible for their COM
mission. This injunction forbids OBJ
jectionable language addressed to nom
union men by the members Of the
union. In the petition OF the mining
company it was averred that the wom-
en- and children were the worst Offend
ers in this respect, following the nom
union men about town and applying

SOUTHERN MAN ENDORSES So
CIALIST EDITORIALS.

Dear Sir:-It was my privilege to
read your February issue of The
Jeffersonian Magazine. I must say
that your editorials on Socialism are
the best I ever read.
I am glad to know that there is
one man in the South that does not
sniggle over, and court favors, from
such degenerates, that put a negro
on an equality with themselves, and
better than their fathers Any
Southern man that knows anything,
will readily agree that what you say
of the negro is true.
| shall be a constant reader of
your publication in future. If it is
convenient, will you send me copy
of your reply to Booker Washing
toms article on the subject that the
negro had progressed more in forty
years than the white man in two
hundred. Wishing you much sue
cess, I am, Yours very truly,

AN ENERGETIC LETTER FROM
AN S3-YEAR YOUNG MAN.

Dear Sir:-I think now is the time
to call a meeting Of committee to get
to work. Have Paul Dixon come out
as a candidate for President; let him
make his own platform; let the
President of the Farmers Union be
second on the ticket. Hearst will
make a stir with his new party. Let
us get ahead of him. Do as you
think BEST Let Dixon be an indie
pendent candidate. We will try and
have the West and South unite on
him. Nine out of ten here is down
on the East. I have talked with one
hundred men, only found two that
favored the East. I got $50 names
to petition and question every man.
The Monetary League is dong busf-
ness here, getting names on petition.

FROM A PRIMITIVE BAPTIST
PREACHER.

Dear Bro. Watson:-This is my
'Jeffersonian day." The day that 1
receive The Jeffersonian is spent in
reading it. 1t gets better with each
issue.
| am especially pleased with your
editorial headed MEN and Brethren,
we Must Organize Against the
Heathenttes. Like you, I think
that in the Jeffersonian Clubs would
be a good place to discuss these
things. l am not a member of any
Jetfersonian Club,-because I have
had no chance to join one.
l expect soon to start out to fill
some appointments, preaching alone
on the mission question.
l will mention, incidentally, that
you are almost on Primitive Bap-
fist platform in your mission views.
A great many of our people-Primi-
tive Baptists-who, though they
were not agreed with you in politics,
have been reading your Foreign Mis-
sion articles with great interest, and,
of course, they see your other arti-
cles, and find that your theories of
government are right
You spoke of 1.-THE Primitive

tin, Pa. Do you get ''The Pilgrims
Banner" of Graymont, Ca, and
''The Baptist Light" of Savannah?
They, and especially the Banner,
which is some seventeen years old,
will give you a correct idea of the
belief Of the Primitive Baptists of
the South. The Banner is consider
ed the best paper that we have in
the South. Of course, I don't mean
by this to say anything against the
primitive Baptist of Martin, Tenn.
If you think that I could do any
good, in such tour as I mentioned
above, preaching on the mission sub
ject, I would be glad to hear from
you.
Yours in earnest,

Then what matters it if my neigh

me so, because when you want me
to subscribe you say your paper has
influence, has future public opinion
in the formative state. If that is
true as you say, and we admit it,
then your intention is for public
opinion to take the jug along. Why
argue prohibition to every subscriber
and then ask them in to have a drink
and see for themselves how mean it
is? Take a cut-rate quantity, get
extra drunk, form that habit and
thereby learn without taking my

there is in it. 1t is up to your boy

Dear Sir:-I have just read your
exposition upon Foreign Missions as
now practiced upon the laity of the

now walked up to it's reality, must
say that the masses should feel them
selves under lasting gratitude to you
for uncovering the uncalled for
speculation and grinding the face of
the common laboring people of
America to build up institutions,
clothe and feed the Africans, besides
educating them to a better qualifica-
ton to trample our institutions and
the prileges of our sons and daugh-
ters into the dust.
