How a Hartman Lawyer Did
Good Thing, as Cabinet Officer,
for the Hartman Interests

At one time the contract SAID that
the Panama Railroad would not is
sue through bills of lading for any
other company doing business on the
Pacific north of Panama. That was
stopped when the American Govern
ment came in possession of the rail-
road as was the old custom by which
the transcOntinental railroads paid
the Panama railroad a million dol
lars a year to let the Southern Pa
cific and it's associate lines make all
the through rates for the business
sent by way of Panama. The intro
duction Of a bill to establish line
of Government steamers from the
Panama railroad to ports on the
Pacific coast brought an inquiry in
the course Of which the Senate COM
mittee learned that since the man
agement of the Panama railroad and
connecting steamship lines fell into
the hands of Mr.. Dickinson the di-
vision of proceeds had been changed
to 80 per cent. for the Government
and 20 per cent. for the Pacific Mail
Steamship Line. The Pacific Mail is
subsidiary of the Southern Pacific
Railroad.
When E. A. Drake was called be-
fore the committee to explain how
the change had been made, he said
that the Pacific Mail Company said
they were losing money on the bust
ness on the old basis, and would
quit unless given a larger share of
the receipts for the long haul. To
keep the company from quitting the
Government had given the Hartman
company 70 per cent. of the receipts
and RENTED a former charge of 80
cents a ton for dockage at Panama.
did you try to get some other in
terests to take up the business if the
Pacific Mail people abandoned it?"
Bristow asked.
YES said Drake. 81 discussed
it with several ship owners and ex-
perts, but no one took it up
Questioned further he named,
among others, G. N. Baker, of Balti-
more, former president of the At
lantic Transport Line, an expert in
marine matters and a capitalist.
This afternoon Mr.. Baker drifted in
to the committee meeting, and Bris-
tow called him to the stand as a wit
ness. Baker said he had been con-
suited about the matter, and had
talked it over with the Secretary of
War.
could you have made money on
half the present rate from New York
to San Francisco" BristoW asked.
q think So"
''Why did not you try it,"
Il made a proposition to the Sec
rotary Of War that if the Govern
ment would give me the same rates
for carrying the mails as other
steamship companies have I would
arrange to put fifteen modern ships
in the Pacific coast trade and estab-
lish regular service between Pana-
ma and the cities along the Pacific
coast"
Bristow-" What did the Secretary
of war say?"
Baker-''He said it was his prov
ince to build the canal, nor to estab-
fish new steamship lines"
Bristow-"DO I understand you
correctly? You simply proposed that
the Government make the same con-
tract with you for carrying the mails
that it makes with other steamship

Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Ellis

Having printed the gist of Mr..
Watson's opposition to Foreign Mis-
sions in following out it's policy of
giving both sides hearing, we guess
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-03-31

Mr. Ellis side OF the story.
This Mr.. Ellis seems to be very
much ranked because Mr.. Watson
refused to waste his time and am
munition in debating the subject of
Foreign Missions with him, alleging
that he was too obscure.
He may be ever so we'll known to
others, but we confess that this is
our first introduction to this Mr.. Ell
lis. But we may be in the same boat
as the old negro was whom we once
tried to persuade to vote for Mr..
Greeley. His reply was:
Mr.. Harris, eb'rybody in de whole
world done hear oh General Grant,
but who eber heard of Mr.. Greeley?"
Mr.. Ellis says that Mr.. Watson is
so little known in the North that
some of Mr.. Ellis's friends thought
him the man who wrote "The Ser
pent's Tongue"
Seems to us that this does not
speak we'll for Mr.. Ellis nor his
friends.
Mr. Watson was Vice-President on
the ticket with Mr.. Bryan in 1896
He was the nominee of the Populist
party in 1900, in 1904, and again in
1908. He was member of Congress
from Georgia and was the author of
our free rural delivery system. He
has written a history of Thomas JEFF
ferson history of Andrew Jackson,
a history of Napoleon and a history
of France, and his history of France
is so much better than any other his
tory of the kind that has ever been
written that it's excellence has been
acknowledged by the French Gov
eminent.
These things being the facts, it
seems to us for one to say that he
does not know this man is to adver-
tise his own ignorance.
This Mr.. Ellis makes the state
ment that Mr.. Watson was migrate
full, for he was himself educated at
a mission school, and should be the
last to say aught against missions.
That is the very gist, the very soul,
of Mr.. WatsOn's argument. His con-
tention is that this money we are
sending away from home to educate
the Strangers child should be
kept at home to educate our own de-
serving pOOr-Our kith and kin.
Mr.. Ellis charges that Mr.. Watson
is guilty of base Islander for say
ing that Elsie Siegel was a foreign
missionary, and Mr.. Ellis proves
from the records of the departments
at Washington that this unfortunate
young woman was never a mission
airy, so he proceeds to denounce and
demolish the Georgia editor as a
base calumniator.
But Mr.. Watson is too careful a
writer to be caught in any such man
ner. Mr.. Watson quoted Missionary
Bach in saying that there "were Ell
sic Siegel cases in the foreign field"
which is an entirely different propo-
sitiOn.
Mr. Watson may be wrong on a
great many propositions. Who of us
is not? But no one ever before &C
cused Mr.. Watson with not being
sincere. His public and his private
life are without a stain. By his I'M
aided efforts, stimulated only by a
laudable ambition, he has arisen to
the first rank as an author and pub
lie debater and his fame is secure,
yet Mr. Ellis comes down to Mr.
Watson's own State and before a cul-
tivated audience of his own people
denOunces him as a blatherskite,
wanting in intelligence and learning
even going so far as to say that he is
neither a gentleman, scholar nor
Christian
All of which shows the caliber of
the man, the general misf1t of his
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-03-31

In this day of specialists when
every man makes a speciality of some
subject, it is naturally evident to the
lay mind that a Cancer, Blood and
Dropsy Specialist is a man that has
made a speciality of these subjects.
If you are a sufferer of Cancer,
Dropsy or any diseases of the blood
you would not consult an oculist
would you? Then, if you are afflict-
ed with any of these dreaded dis
eases, why not consult man whose
remedy first cured himself, and was
then offered to the world? This
remedy is manufactured and sold by

before it can become the property of
 the winner.
 This is not the first cup the asso-
 citation has offered in this school year and the winner of the other against competitors from several schools was
 Miss Naomi Krebs also an Osborn pu-
 pil. That cup was won in a declam-
 atory contest.
 The management of the school
 thinks it is going to win something
 else soon, the first prize for a school
 exhibit at the territorial fair. The osborn school is the only one
 in the territory using department work
 in the upper grades, that is, the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. This is an ! innovation of this year and it was en- tered upon with some fear and trembl- ing for it has not always proved sue cessful. But it has been entirely so in the case of the Osborn school for three reasons: first, the admirable ar rangement of the building; second, that the teachers were chosen with reference to specialization and third the excellent raw material of the dis trict; that is, the character of the pu- pills.
 Principal Jantzen of the school has charge of mathematics, higher English and civics. Each of the ether teachers has been assigned to the studies in which she is most proficient. There are twenty-five pupils in each
 of the higher grades.

WEEKS OPPORTUNITIES
 BALKE'S BIC CURI0 STORE
What Visitors to the Fair May Find
 There.

There are things to be seen in Phoe- nix this week which will not appear on the fair grounds. For instance, | there is the mammoth stock at Balke's S Big Curio Store, greater than ever in volume and variety. It affords visit ors a better opportunity to buy Christmas presents than they will have again; that is, those who do not expect to return to Phoenix before the holidays.
 AS a result of MT. Balke's tour among the Indians there is a large and personally selected stock of Navajo blankets, which, notwithstanding the increasing difficulty of getting them, are still sold at a reasonable figure
 It is almost useless to speak of the stock of. drawnwork. There is no other like it anywhere. It consists of the output or the choice of the output of the convent of Guadala jara, which the Big Curio has controlled for several years. MT. Bake has lately returned from Guadalajara, where he made his annual selection.
 An extraordinary offer is made this week in ostrich feathers, the Arizona ostrich feathers, the finest and the best produced. In order to reduce the stock, a discount of twenty per cent. from the already low prices will be made.
 But mention of all the bargains and opportunities of the Big Curio store cannot be attempted. The stock must be seen.
