Here's How Your congressman
Spend Your Money!

AWAY back yonder in 1884, we published
in the Peoples Party Paper some details of
Congressional expenditures which made
deep impression on the public mind of that
day. Recently the magazine writer, Arthur
I. Street, has been handling the same mate
rial in Success Magazine. Here's what our
friend Stockard, of Tennessee, says about it
in his paper:
''Well if this doesn't beat the devil! Here are
some of the things that have been found to have
been paid for at public expense by our Congress
men at Washington voting themselves an allow
of 1925 year extra for stationery: Play
ing cards, (incuding whist and bridge sets) poker
chips, pocketbooks and purses, shears and scis-
sors, hand bags, suit cases, souvenir bags, pass
cases. nail clips files and brushes, manicure sets,
safety with extra blades), matches, we'd
ding announcements, cards, postcard albums,
photograph envelopes, cuff cases, button box glove
stretcher cigar lighter, ash tray, opera bags, quiz
nine pills. liserine, peroxide of hydrogen pepsin,
witch hazel, cough drops, ammonia, smelling salts
anti-kammna, Jamaica ginger, vaseline olive oil,
court plaster, seidlitZ powders, bromo seltzer
Who would have thought that in addition TO the
$500 year fat salary pay them, would
be buying the above things for congressman
their wives and daughters? It's not the most
monumental perhaps, but it's the nervest piece
of graft that has been uncovered in quite while

III Lived i'm Texas Would "ShOre'
Paw the Earth for Davidson

ONE of the most stalwart fighters of ma
rauding corporations, is r. V Davidson, of
Texas. The manner in which he whipped the
Standard Oil Company, in spite of Joe Bal
ley, Dave Francis, and that fellow Pierce, was
superb. 1t gave encouragement to every de-
fender Of the peoples rights throughout the
Union.
I never would have believed that Joe Bailey
would 60 back on the people who had hon
ored him, and prostitute his mighty intellect
to the service of the Standard Oil robbers, if
he hadn't grudgingly admitted the facts him
self He, confessed to having received about
quarter of a million dollars, and he couldn't
show that he had rendered any legal services
for it. It was political influence which was
bought and sold not the legitimate services
of lawyer. At the session Of Congress which
has just adjourned, [ was filled with morti-
fcation to see Joe Bailey voting with old Al
drich, and helping the Rhode Island rascal
defeat amendments to the Railroad Bill
which we're meant to compel the corporations
to give the people square deal. The anti
Bailey speakers in Texas should, by all means,
arm themselves with copies of the Congress
sional Record, which will show how he voted
against the Cummins and La Toilette propo-
sitions.

Then, again and finally, there is William
Schley Howard, who is running against Fan

vestigated this Howard, and can safely and
earnestly urge you to support him. He has
already got Fannie Aliens man beat-in
spite of the Southern railroad, Billy Witham,
Bob Lowry and other Republicans of At

In the write-up of Livingston which ap-
peared in the Saturday Evemimg Post, he was
eulogized for never saying anything against
the Republicans!

Dear DIR. Lovett Must Quit Skipping

L DON'T mean to intimate, or to be under
stood as saying, that dear Doctor Lovett has
developed later vein of levity, and has been
indulging in physical freshness But what I
do mean to charge upon dear DR.. Lovett is,
that he skipped portions of the important
facts of the report of the Worlds Missionary
Conference, held at Edinburgh, Scotland
Dear DR.. Lovett mentions the number of or
CARNATIONS and the amount of money that
they cost annually. He is careful to tell us
that, out of the $24,OOOOOO expended on for
eign missions, $9,OOO,OOO are raked and
scraped together in the United States. He
told us about the 1920 missionaries, includ-
ing doctors, surgeons, and nurses, but he was
so utterly careless-or was it tbOughtfW in
dear DR.. Lovett-as to omit the statistics
which would reveal to his readers the start
ling number of hospitals, dispensaries, schools,
leper colonies, etc, that we are taxed to main
tain in foreign countries. Every reader of
TINS paper who is also reader of the AdUo-
cate, should address him postcard like this
DEAR DIR. LovETr:-Why did you suppress
the most important figures in that report that
was handed out in the Missionary Conference
in Edinburgh"
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-07-21
Hello, DucExxvOrth! How About That
Report Which You Suppressed?

Il,
Dear Mr. Watson:-By your permission I will
write you few lines concerning the Farmers
Union and it's surroundings.
In 1908 | delegate from this county to
the State Convention held in Macon. Mr.. j. A.
Dean, of Buchanan, Georgia, who then head
clerk of the Union Produce Store i'm Atlanta, and
L, boarded together. He had his annual report of
this business made OUT and told that the
business had gone to the wall. The committee
that was appointed to investigate this business
was going to recommend it to be condemned.
r. f. DUCKWORTH, KNOWING THIS, WOULD
NOT CALL FOR THE REPORT OF THE COM
MITTEE claiming that the Convention did not
have time to receive THE REPORT, THEREBY
SMOIHERlNG THE WHOLE THING. [ do not
remember the chairman's name but he not
at all pleased with this way of doing business.
After this, the produce store received one coop
of chickens, consisting of eighteen hens from J.
J. Mann, of Tallapoosa, Ca Route 3; never paid
him cent and even kept the coop. Mr.. Mann
member of Bereah Local This theft killed
the lodge and it is today thing of the past.
j. w. Bentley and others, of Bentleys Local,
P o. Tallapoosa, Ca shipped to this store about
the same time forty bushels of peas for which
they never received one cent. This steal drove
Bentley's lodge to the wall.
J. A. Dean told me, the oath of last January,
the same crowd captured his wages, to the amount
of $3.50.
j. j. Mann and J. W. Bentley are honest in
te1lgent farmers.
We are all your friends, and ready to assist
you at amy time if we can. Use this letter as you
proper. AS ever, your friend,
WILEY J. JAMES,
Comment
The above is the most important revelation
that [ have yet had, concerning that Union
Produce Exchange in Atlanta. 1t shows that
Duckworth, as President of the Farmers
Union, was knowingly responsible for the
continuance of that warehouse after the head
clerk had pronounced it failure, and after
committee of Union men had recommended
it's discontinuance His failure to call for
that report has very suspicious appearance.
He may not have had personal knowledge
of the stealages which afterward took place,
but his refusal to let the Convention hear that
report puts the burden of proof on him. To
say the least of it, his conduct in regard to
this matter clearly proves that he does not
deserve the confidence of his brethren. One
of two things is certainly true,-he is an ut
terly incapable business man, or he is crook.
The approaching Convention will, no doubt,
make a searching investigation into the con-
nection of the Union City bunch with the At
lanta Union Produce Company.
I thank Mr.. James heartily for his letter,
and for his expressions of friendship.
