There should not be single
vote against the water works but
there will be a few, and two OF
the men working against the bonds
are on record as having worked
and voted against the new school
house a few years ago. They UNI
doubtedly voted against fixing the
Ridenbaugh canal. Yet who can
say that the school-house is not
what we want and big credit to
the town. Who can prophesy but
that the repairing Of the canal
will relieve for all time the danger
Of break like we had last sum
mer, when the crops were dam,
aged twice the amount of the bond
issue.

4 NV ti;stry Of Idaho.

Hon. John Haley, aifectlonately
addressed by all as Uncle John,
has launched from the press Of
Syrns. York OF Boise his interest
ing story Of Idaho. The author N
his foreword disclaims for his writ
ings superior literary merit and
only aims to tell plain, unyar-
nished" tale Of times and events
within his personal knowledge and
experience. Uncle John is too
modest. The simplicity and charm
OF his style is all his own and the
painstaking sincerity and the cyl
dent truth Of all he has recorded
give his work an educational and
historic worth from which mere
word polish would only detract.
The writer harks back to the
morning hours Of the history q
his subject, before the creation q
Idaho territory, and gives instruct
i've. authentic record from that
time to the present Much d
which he has written he drew from
the rich storehouse Of mis- strong
memory aud it would have been
lost to posterity if he bad not pre-.
served 1t in this enduring form
He helped to make much Of tht
history he records and bis affection
for his adopted state and its people
breaths throughout his narrative

Nine good and true citizens of
Meridian precinct took the civil
service examination at Boise last
Saturday, fer appointment to the
position OF enumeration of the GEN.
sus. There is but one to be ap-
pointed, so there is speculation as
to who will draw the prize. The
pay is $500 per day for about 30
days hard work. But then the
honor will be worth as much
more! The applicants we're: Mrs
S. w. Shook, Mrs. BTowm-L Levers,
Mrs W. A. Palmer, Mrs. McFad-
den, Rolla Howry, Homer Champ
lin, j H. McSparran, A. N. Sails
bury and d. L. Bailey. The ex-
animation papers will be forwarded
to Washington and carefully ex-
amined and one of these days the
telegraph wires will bring the
name of the lucky one.

DOING MORE GOOD AS HE is.

Tom Watson, the great Populist of
Georgia, is Populist no longer. He
has returned to the Democratic party
which he left in 1894. 1t is to be
doubted, however, whether Mr.. Wat
son will play any important part in
politics as a Democrats a Demo-
cratic office-holder. at least. New
men are in the saddle in Georgia and
they will not willingly see Watson
enjoy party hOnors. He might come
into prominence by taking up the
Prohibition cause and inflaming the
popular mind. We have seen men do
that successfully, although they
haven't always succeeded in getting
office thereby. But perhaps Mr.. Wat
son doesn't want any office. He is
an able man and as writer and speak
er is forceful and interesting, and
his literary efforts seem to be rea-
sonably successful. - Waco Tribune.
Watson can do his country more
good with his Two Jeffersopians than
he could do in office If everybody
could be induced to subscribe for and
read his writings it is hard to tell
how much good he could do.--Athens

ian, June Is, how Thomas E. Wat

was,-fghting for Jeffersonian prin-

one the principles for which he has

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-07-21

Twenty-Five States have already
acted in favor of revision of the
Federal Constitution, and two more
States added to the list will make the
demand effective. We do not know
whether North Carolina has as yet
voted on revision, but Georgia has
not done SO.
This is a very important matter,
and we hope the press of the coun-
try will agitate it until the required
number of States are secured to force
the important work. In such a con-
vention most of the abuses of the
Government could be corrected. In
TACT we don't know of a shorter cut
to general and fundamental reform
than this. We can overthrow the
despotism of the Federal judiciary,
check the Capitalization Of power,
repeal the clause which was distorted
for the purpose of building up the
trusts, change the system Of taxation,
and abolish those amendments franz
ed at the close of the war for the OPP
preston and degradation Of our
Southern people.
Let us have a twentieth century
Constitution, to meet the new sltua-
ton and the changed condition and
increased growth of the country. We
do not know what States have acted
on this question, and would like to
find out. We know that the vote of
only two States is necessary to have
a revision of our Federal Constitu-
ton made, and it seems to US an easy
matter to secure this number if the
nQOn1n ara nn1i0htnn4 9hOut thn i'm
portance of the measure. Something
must be done to protect the masses
against the oppressive power Of COM
bined wealth, and also to put some
check on the tyranny of the Federal
judiciary, with life tenure in office,
and which power is controlled by the
trusts and monied in1uence.-News-
