THE .JEFFERSONIAN

his people want, without being Clay, or
Webster, or a Calhoun. Any man of ordi-
nary ability can make a worthy Representa-
tive or Senator, If he qciU just try hard
enough.
But the very first requisite to success is
that the member stay at his post of duty, So
Der, vigilant and active; and that he study
the questions which Congress is considering.
When a man has passion for gaming, he
mfts himself for any legitimate business
When he goes on Sprees, he IS not capable Of
zaa0-naahimg.
The Republicans do not keep that type of
man in Congress.
They know better The men of Big Bust
ness rule the Republican party and rule Con-
gress; and the men of Big Business pick So
Der, brainy, resolute and energetic men to
look after the interest of Big Business.
Those crafty, long headed men would no
more keep tipsy Cannons, Dalzells, Paynes
and Shoots in Congress, than they would
entrust their banks, mines and railroads to
tpsy managers.
Man to man, the Northern delegations IN
Congress are stronger than those that repre-
sent the South.
Let us improve our Congressional material
There is plenty Of good timber-let us go
after it.
Let us send men of the people-men who
will stand up for our rights and fight our
battles.

DEAR S1R:-Our mutual friend, Mr.. j. j.
Brown, spent the day with me yesterday. In
consequence Of what he said am addressing
you this letter. It may not do any good, but
there is no harm in trial Frequently
gentleman lifts his hat to a lady, or gives up
to her his seat In a crowded car, without re-
ceiving the courteous acknowledgment which
he deserves, but | think no gentleman regrets
having done the gentlemanly thing in offer
ing the salutation or sllrrendering his seat.
Mr.. Brown informs me that you ordered
your paper stopped on account of my attack
on the moral character of Charles Edwards.
This fact had not become known to me be-
fore, as the Circulation Department is in the
basement Of my house, and the details rarely
come to my knowledge.
Do you shut out from your family circle
all newspapers which contain information
concerning the immoralities of human be-
ings? DO yOW keep the Old Testament Wnder
lock- and key? Have you ever seen anything
in THE JEFFERsoNIAN which compares to some
passages in the Bible? When obscene sub
jects are referred to in Holy Writ. the pur-
pose is a good one. When similar subjects
are referred to in THE ,JEFFERsoNIAN, the
purpose is good one If yOur Representa-
the IN Congress IS una00rthy of yOu, are you
not entitled to km0ac 1t? If he sends to you
as his own, a speech which he paid Claude
Bennett forty dollars to write for him, and
which was never spoken nor read in Congress-
has he not 0racticed deliberate fraud upon
yom? If he is capable of such deception in
one instance, could you continue to have con-
fidence in him? / made the charge, and he
did not deny it. You want to get at the truth
don't you? Write and ask Edwards whether
he paid Claude Bennett for that speech. Ask
Bennett the same question. Miss Clare FL
lington, Benefits niece, who has recently
come back from visit to Washington, told
our Business Manager, James Lanier, that
Bennett asked her to find out hoec learned
the truth about 1t. Needless to say, she will
not learn from me, until it becomes necessary

of Yours Truly indicate that Old Man Peepu
is making himself felt Certain little county
papers are simply finging fits. III so much
per- tit.
My Partner is on to the game; and he
knows what's what. When he sees certain
papers tank up on violent abuse of Watson,
he knows that financial understandings have
been reached.
When Deserters, Do-nothings, whiskey-
soaks, and inveterate gamblers want another
term in Congress, the way they shell out The
Nasty Stuff is exhiarating to those who get
it. AS my Partner and | are Just determined
to have NEW BROONS, the whole lxaboodle
have jumped on me-
Hoots Toots! Haven't [ heard it thun-
der before? Let 'em roar! With Old Mr..
Peepul standing at my back, and Aunt Sarah
Jane waving encouragement-w couldn't
stand the storm?
Let it rage! By the time it passes, the
atmosphere will be purer and the skies
clearer
Think about it:
When man takes the oath of office, he as
sumes a solemn responsibility. He enters into
contract with the people. He is paid to
discharge certain duties. He is supposed to
be addicted to no vices which unfit him for
the office. If he should be so unfortunate as
to fall into bad habits which prevent him
eiiirom the discharge of his sworn duty, he owes
it to his constituents to resign.
Are you not entitled to know it, if your
agent and representative has become drunk
ard or a gambler! You would never vote
such a man into a responsible position if you
were aware of the facts Would you retain
such a man in office, after learning the truth?
If the private life of a Congressman units
him for fhn nOCitiOn tho Duhic hoe riO ht tO
be informed
No man who befuddles his brain with
liquor, and who spends days and nights at
the card-table, can make you a satisfactory
Congressman No such man could secure
job as book keeper, cashier, salesman, conduc-
tor, or engineer. No such man would be put
in charge of printing establishment, farm,
store, or any other business.
Now, if your own boy has to keep out of
bad habits, in order to obtain work, isn't it
shame that any partisan friend of drunken
Congressman should try to keep him at the
vastly important job of making our laws?
You would find it difficult to name any
duty, relating to worldly affairs, that is more
sacred, more exalted, more eXactlng than that
of legislating for a country
Every law on the statute book affects you,
in some way or other. You cannot escape it's
influence. If the laws are good, you auto
matically get the benefit you do from pure
air and water. If those laws are bad, you
automatically suffer injury-as you do from
foul air and water.
To measure up to the standard of an eff
cient Congressman, the member should be dill
igent in attendance, studious of habit, ener-
getic in work. If he is an absentee, he is not
fit to hold the place. If he does not study
constantly, he will not understand the effect

that He would STAND READY TO

wouldn't you? OF course you would
Why did challenge Mr.. Edwards to 90
before a magistrate, and make oath to the
truth of his statements in the SnUamnab
Press? For one reason, because I should then
be at liberty to maize hn0cn m1y informant.

Your common sense must tell you that this
question can only be answered in the afirma-
tive.
Charles Edwards basely deceived his pas
tor, j. Howard Wells; basely imposed upon
Rev. w. M. Bitch; basely betrayed his own
wife. If he will betray the sacred relation of
a church member and Of husband, what tie
could bind him to right living or to duty?
On the Monday morning after he had been
seen in the immoral attitude already de-
scribed, and which need not be mentioned
again, he did not eUem sh0aO confusion nor re-
