A GEORGIAN REGRETS FRIDAY
NIGHTS ROWDYISM.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I returned
home yesterday after your attempt to
speak at uditorium-Armory ON Fri
day night
While leaving the hall that night
along with other sad-hearted friends
could not express my feelings better
than to say that old Georgia was dis
graced in the eyes Of all liberty-loving
people.
It's ridiculous to think that ma
tive born and patriotic son is not al
lowed the privilege of free speech in
the capitol city of his home 1t seems
to me that it's enough to have caused
you to die in despair of ever accom-
plishing your noble purpose.
Knowing that tomorrow, the 9Th
instant, to be your fifty-fourth ami
versary and knowing, too. that the
best part Of that time has been and
is being used for the cause of HUI
mainly, it grieves me to think that
you can't be heard and I am almost
ready to deny that I am a Georgian.
Hoping that you are yet to be spared
to go on with all the good work at
your hands, [ am, Sincerely yours,
S. w. JACKSON.

VOTE FOR JOS. Nj. BROWN.

My Dear Sir:-I have read your
Atlanta speech in the Constitution
and regret to hear of the way you
were howled at, and I just want to
say that, under the circumstances,
the way Governor Browns delegates
to the convention were treated, and
everything else considered, the peo-
pie here are dissatisfied with the
nomination of HOke Smith and my
friends join me in urging you to
either run for Governor or insist
upon some good man whom you may
select to run [ believe if Governor
Brown should run independently,
and with your assistance and little
work, he could win.
| presume that you will receive
thousands of letters on this line. but
my friends would like to have few
lines from you and at your con-
yenience | shall be glad to have
reply. Yours truly,
Dacula Ga. B. AMBROSE.
Hoke and Hardwick were respon-
sible There might have been a
great tragedy had I not suddenly
stopped, and foiled the conspirators.

GRANT WAS RIGHT"

My dear Sir:-I have just read
the last number of The Jeffersonian.
I have been thinking that | was pref

lieve that [ have been misled. [ have
always been a Watson man; the day
I stood up in my county Alliance and
said, II will vote for no man for any
office whatever who does not endorse
the Ocala PLATFORM; when we nomi-
mated you for Vice-President, with
William J. Bryan for President, I en-
dorsed the move, but I did not vote.

next time | voted was for Parker for
President, and got the worst beating
I ever did in my life. The 23rd of
August was the third time | voted for
Hoke Smith Since reading the last

spoke of Peter denying his Savior, he
wanted to poke his head into bag.

Gratis doing the fool thing at the
right time, I got mad, but Grant was
right There is no excuse for a man
doing the same fool thing the second
time. 1t does look as though we can
depend upon that gang for fool
things.
| am about ready to bolt, if good
man endorsing your principles was

tell you something else, you are the
most talked about man now in Geor-
gia. | heard men say they were glad
Hardwick beat you; today / heard
two of the same men say they were
sorry that Hardwick was elected. 1
do not know how it would have been
if Brown had been elected, but I do
believe that if Hoke and Hardwick
had been beaten that shameful Fri
day night would never have been
history. I am writing this to you not
for publication, but to tell you I am
a stronger Watson man than ever.

VIGOROUSLY committed, and for which
he so richly deserves to be punished,
then such election is not binding and
no self-respecting citizen should
think, even for moment, of voting
for Hoke Smith, whether he is OPP
posed in the final election, or not. |
do not intend to vote for him at any
time, or for any office, myself and
| do hope that some one may be put
out by convention of the outraged
citizens of Georgia, so that we may
have some one to vote for.
CD Mr.. Watson, we are proud of
you, and we want you to know that
we are.
Try to get out some good man like
Griffith, Hall or, better still, Terrell,
to run against Hoke. We want some
one to vote for.
Respectfully, A GEORGIAN.

Help this Old Veteran s Wjdoyv

Mrs. E. L. Freer, of Clifton, Tenn,
writes that she is trying to put new
roof on her house, which needs it
badly, and she is making an extra
effort to get the work done before the
storms of winter. She is a cripple,
and has not walked for twenty-one
years. To help her, she asks for
subscriptions to the following maya
zines: Watson's, The JeffersOnian;
Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's
Home Companion, Delineator, Every
body's, Success, and the Confederate
Veteran. She still has $50 to raise
before she can put the roof on her
house, and she will be grateful for
any subscriptions sent her. Mrs.
Freer is the widow of an old Con-
federate veteran. She has her home,
but no income, and her only way of
earning money is by selling a few
things on commission and getting
what subscriptions she can. Help her
out by sending her one or two sub
scriptions.

THE CONQUEST.

Nature gave to man his greatest
glories, such as water, light, heat
and Oxygen.
They have existed since the crea-
ton.
In time man learned to master the
water. Later he made steam do his
bidding. Finally the electric light
was produced, glimmering and bril-
liant, at the end of a slender wire.
One of his latest achievements is
the conquering of the air. No bird
can now fly higher
But the browning glory of all
mans conquests has been his utiliz-
ing the full benefit of Oxygen, long
acknowledged as the only perfect
eliminatOr of sickness the world
knows.
The secret of the victory lies in
the Oxygenator.

PREMIER TURNED DOWN

Asqulth Req ested Appointment OF
Sufficient Liberal Peers to Out
number Conservatives In House Of
Lords-Roys Refusal Startles Eng
land and Is Looked Upon by Press
as Forerunner Of Monarchlal Revo-
lution--Eleetions In December.
London, Nov. 1.-THE report that
King George has refused to promise
Premier Asquith to create sufficient
Liberal peers to outnumber the
Conservatives in the house of lords
has startled England as no political
announcement in years. It is said
the king made this refusal positive
and declared he would not recede
from it. even If the country went
overwhelmingly Liberal at the forth
coming general elections.
The king summoned the members
of the priyy council to meet him to
talk over the situation. The privy
councillors are selected from both
parties and are men who have won
fame in their respective business
and professions. The cabinet also
held prolonged session, after which
Prime Minister Asquith was received
by the king.
King George is known to have pro-
nounced Tory feelings. but the idea
that he would defy popular opinion,
as is expected to be expressed at the
polls in December, strikes the people
as incredible. Even the Conserva-
lives are startled by the possible
consequences Of Georges act. The
Morning News. in a passionate re-
view of the situation, says
In a survey of the theoretical pos
sibilities of the political situation
one is compelled to take into consid.
eration the practically inconceivable
proposition that the crown may ally
itself with the house of lords to pre-.
vent the legalizing of the peoples
judgment. Such a move would mean
a monarchial revolution, added to the
peers revolution. and in such an
event the gravest happenings that
the country has noted in centuries
are to be expected"
King George arrived at London
from Sandringham to be on the
firing line. Asquith has demanded
that if the people in the elections he
T..
ed an overwhelming majority for the
Liberals in the house Of commons,
King George should agree to create
sufficient Liberal peers to outvote the
Conservatives in the house of lords.
In this way Asquith expected to have
the house Of lords pass the "parlia-
ment bill" by which the veto power
is taken away from the hereditary
peers of the realm.

Issues Statement Showing Enor-

Company.
Washington. Nov. II. - Attorney
General Wlckorsham became indig-
nant when his attention was called
to dispatch from Pittsburg to the
effect that as a result of fines recent
ly imposed upon the Imperial Glass
company of that city and its officers
and directors by the United States
court at Pittsburg, every factory In
Fayette county would suspend opera
ticns, throwing between 700 and 800
men out of employment, unless the
men should decide to accept a reduc-
tion of 30 per cent. Mr.. Wickersham
issued statement reviewing the
case as it was presented in court.
This. statement makes it apparent
that the attorney general was very
much disappointed in the leniency of
the court in imposing fines instead
of Jail sentences on the officers of the
company.
"The evidence obtained by the de-
partment," says the statement,
Showed that the Imperial Window
glass company was organized in
April, 1909. It manufactured no
glass, but was purely selling
agency, buying the entire output OF
80 or more manufacturers of window
glass in some 10 different states, The
agreement between It and the manu-.
facturers from which 1t bought pro
vided that no glass should be sold
by the latter except to the Imperial
company. The stock of the Imperial
company was divided among the
manufacturers. It was not until the
company had brought into conbina-
tion with it, under such contracts,
manufacturers of 81 per cent of the
entire hand-blown windowglass man
ufacturers in the United States, that
it was determined to commence busl-
ness.
ut began business In January,
1910. BY Oct. 1, 1910, prices had
been advanced 70 per cent over what
they were in April, 1909. The evil
dence showed that in the first three
months of its operation the Imperial
company earned net profits equal to
its capital stock. The evidence
showed that during the 10 months of
business the company cleared about
s1,OO0,0O0, or about 400 per cent on
its capital stock.
"The court imposed fines of $500
on the individuals and $4,000 on the
corporation. The combination was
dissolved, the court was informed,
and this was one consideration which
led to the freeing of the Defendants
with fines only. '''
"If the rumored action should
prove to be substantiated by fact"
the attorney general concluded, sit
would indicate very mistaken
leniency on the part of the court In
imposing sentence which, 1t is hoped
would not be followed on any SINH
lar occasion"

Panama, Nov. 17.-President Taft
spent a very active day. His pro.
gram included an inspection of the
Culebra cut of ne canal, and ho and
his party went over the ground thor
oughly. Later in the day he heard
the complaints of the canal employees
who are paid by the hour, who are
dissatisfied with the remuneration
and demand higher pay. After listen
ing to their side Of the question, Mr.
Taft said he could not agree with
them that they were underpaid. He
added that, as a matter of fact, labor
on the canal was the best paid in
the world.
however, was the dinner given in
President Tafts honor by President
Pablo Arosemena. which was attend
ed by 200 prominent Panama Off
cials, officers of the canal zone and
citizens. Great interest was mani
tested in what Mr.. Taft would have
TO say about the reports that have

time to the effect that 1t was the
intention Of the United States to an
mex the republic of Panama. What
he did say put quietus on all such
rumors. After referring to the prog,
ress of the work on the canal, he
continued:
"The treaty between the two coun-
tries makes the United States the
guarantor of the integrity of the re-
public Of Panama, and therefore in
a sense the guardian Of the liberties
of her people secured by your con-
stitution. Our responsibility, there
fore, for your government, requires
us TO closely observe the course of
the conduct Of those selected as Off
sist that they be selected according
70 law. All this makes us specially
interested in what is done in your
government, but this relation neither
calls Tor nor permits annexation We
are here TO construct, maintain, OPP
crate and defend world canal,
which runs through the heart of your
country, and you have given us the
necessary sovereignty and iurisdic-
tion over that part of your country
occupied by the canal to enable us
TO do it effectively. We do not wish |
further responsibility in respect Of !
your government than is necessary |
TO carry out our purpose to construct |
and maintain the canal. We have no |
desire to add to the territory under
our jurisdiction except as the opera. |
tion Of the canal may require We |
have guaranteed the integrity of |
your republic and for us to annex |
your territory would be to violate the |
guaranty, and nothing would Justify |
that so long as Panama performs her |
part under the treaty.
81 wish to make my statement en- |
phatic, because irresponsible per- |
sons, without the slightest founda-
tion, have started rumors that my |
visit to the isthmus was to promote |
annexation when nothing could be |
further from the truth"
President Taft and party will start
on their return trip this afternoon.
