A Maligner of Missions

Mr.. Tom Watson continues his
diatribe against missionary work, in
his Jefferonian Magazine. Not salts
fed with his quiXotic assault on mis-
sions, he attempts to attack the char
acter of the missionaries. When con-
sidering the animus of this man, it is
well to remember that our dear Uncle
Tom is q discredited and discarded
politician, and as such is naturally
"agin the government"
Uncle Tom has come about as near
hitting the truth on the mission ques-
ton as he did in naming his POpulist
paper the JeffersOnian. Uncle Tom is
about the only man we know who
takes Mr.. Tom Watson seriously. We
are strongly inclined to look upon
Mr.. WatsOn's missionary deliverances
as we have always looked upon the
man and his magaZine-a huge joke.
Mr.. Watson is himself the best argu-
ment for the necessity OF the mis-
sionary.-Western Recorder.
1t is so easy to belittle a man
whom you can't answer, and that is
what the convention papers are try
ing to do with Tom Watson and his
exposure Of Foreign Mission meth
DDS. The Recorder may think that
Mr.. Watson is the only man who
takes him seriously, but he hasn't
had his ear to the ground if he thinks
so. There are thousands on thou
sands who are satisfied that Mr.. Wat
son is telling the truth and the
strongest proof of it is the conduct
of the Baptist papers in maligning
him and then refusing to let him be
heard. Why don't they refute or
deny what Mr. Watson says Of their
conduct of F'UFeign Missions? Be-
cause they know that he is telling
the truth, and that there is not a
hint in Gods Book for such methods
as theirs. No doubt Mr.. Watson will
feel very small when he reads the
opinion of the editor of the Recorder
of himself. Mr.. Watson has forgot
ten more than the Recorder man will
ever know and besides he has what
the Recorder man does not carry in
stock, and that is open fairness to-
ward every question affecting the
veal or woe of mankind. Oh for a
thousand Watsons to battle against
the wrongs in Church and State

The Public Domain

1t is remarkable how many differ
emit journals, and of what diverse
kinds, are denouncing President
Taft's atrocious proposal to bond the
country for millions and millions of
dollars in order to help the Govern
ment give away, faster and faster,
our public domain, the one national
resource that should be far more
carefully conserved than any other,
for the simple reason that no part
of it once given away can ever be
recovered or replaced. We quoted
last week the New York Sun and the
Outlook, papers about as different
from each other and from the Coun-
try Gentleman as possible, as COM.
ing to the support of the Country
Gentleman view that all this sort of
thing should be stopped; and now
we have paper of very different
kind from either of the first three,
The Jeffersonian, published by Mr..
Thos. e. Watson, Of Georgia, and
generally recognized, we believe, as
the organ of the Southern "Popu-
lists" This paper says:
President Taft is doing his ut
most to disarm the suspicion and dis
satisfaction of the West. What does
he do out there, to catch the crowd?
Why, he proposes national bond is
sue of O,00O,000, to carry on the
irrigation of the dry lands of the
West. Now, isn't that a fine example
of the absence of the principles of
justice from the policies of the Fed
eral Government? The millions of
merchants, farmers and artisans
throughout the land are to be taxed,
in order that a few thousand West
ern farmers shall have water on
their crops whenever it is needed!
The average agriculturist of the
country has to depend upon the
clouds for rain. Sometimes he gets
too much, and his crops are drowned
out Sometimes it is just the other
way-they are destroyed by the
drouth. These men must take the
good and the bad crop-years as God
pleases, and do the best that they
can. But Mr.. Taft declares that a
bonded Indebtedness shall be piled
on all the people, and that the money
must be applied to irrigating a few
thousand farms, i'm order that these
favored few shall have water on the
land whenever they want it! For
your supply of farm water, you must
depend upon the weather; for his,
the aridland farmer will apply to
your pockets. There's justice for
you! Already those irrigated farms
get the proceeds of the public land
sales. That money belongs to all;
few get it. Already those irri-
gated arms are a serious menace to
the planter who must depend upon
the clouds for rain. Immensely big
ger yields are taken from the land
which never suffers from too much,
or not enough, moisture. 1t seems.
most unjust, cruelty unfair, to tax
the ordinary farm for the benefit of
the benef1ciaries of irrigation. In
fact, the proposition is so monstrous-
ly inequitable and selfish that we are
amazed that it should be made. But
the West has got to be soothed, you
see.
