PASS SOME RESOLUTIONS.

Dear Sir: AS the Jeffersonian was
our source of information, I deem it
proper to send you copy of resolu-
ton proposed by myself and adopted
by Camp No. IA.
AS secretary Of this camp, have
sent to each of the Senators from
Georgia, and our immediate repre-
sentative a copy.
If other camps get busy on this
matter there will be something do
ing in opposition. Have addressed
our national president upon the sub
ject and expect action all along the
line.
With best wishes,
Yours truly,
JAMES T. COLNEY.
Whereas, 1t appears there is a bill
pending in the present Congress, to
donate to the Catholic Church 30O,-
600 acres of the Public Domain lying
in the proposed State of New Mex
leo; and
Whereas, This bill, if enacted into
law, will do violence to the very fun
damental principles upon which our
republic rests, and will establish a
precedent baneful and far-reaching
in it's effect, Therefore, be it
Resolved, That as an Order we
condemn the attempt of any sectar-
ian organization to acquire the pub
lie domain or funds by Acts of Con-
gress, and call upon our immediate
representative and Senators to OPP
pose, with all their might, this I'M
American proposition.

TWO BIRDS OF THE SAME
FEATHER.

Dear Jeffs: Intending a commune
cation in reference to recent action of
Democratic State Committee and
Legislature, I find about all desired
to say about their outrageous pro-
ceilings in the Atlanta Journal edi-
torial of 4th inst. You see, the
change of only a few words, such as
from city to state, and from council
to Democrat notice Committee
and legislature, fills the whole bill.
Faithfully and fraternally yours,
G. F. PARKER.
politicians Versus the People,
The State Central Democrat-no-
tice-committee and the legislature,
assisted by the Atlanta Journal, have
tied the hands of the people.
ELECTED as representatives of the
people, they have set themselves up
as dictators.
''They have mulishly opposed their
selfish political prejudices to the pub
lies right of free expression through
the ballot
The Committee and the legisla-
ture was asked to submit the cleo
ton of a U. S. Senator to a popular
vote. Therefore, the sole issue be-
fore the committee and the legisla-
ture was this: Shall the people be
given their right to express them
selves on this matter at the polls?
Such is the limit to which their
political greed and bigotry has car
ried them. They consider, of course,
that they are the people, and that
wisdom will die with them. They
feel, no doubt, that IL is their prerog-
ative to boss the State affairs as
wards are bossed under the present
system of government. Naturally
they fear" any movement CT the peo-
pie that will take the government
out Of the grip Of politicians and put
an end to the traffic of patronage.
but the people of Georgia need
no such guardianship, nor will they
tolerate it.
Hundreds and thousand of citi-
zens desire a Jeffersonian form of
government. Every citizen, whether
he favors Or opposes such, is enti-
tied to vote upon it. And yet these
BOurbOns arise to declare that the
people shall not even exercise their
right of suffrage.
'"This is typical instance of the

A READERS OPINION OF ROMAN
CATHOLIC TACTICS AND OTHER
ISSUES.

Dear Sir Your work is indeed
work which ought to benefit man
kind. But unfortunately, you will
not live to see the fruit of your
labor, and when you have passed
over the river, and perhaps your
children, then the people will wake
up out of their lethargy, and erect
monuments to your noble work, and
while l differ from you very much on
your socialistic views, yet l love and
admire your work, and want to SO
tell you. If l could squeeze your
hand and say, Go on, God bless you,
l would love to do it. But at the
same time 1 feel like it doesn't pay.
You have exposed and published the
worst and most damaging evidences
against the governor, yet not man
there seemed to have backbone
enough to try and stop him being
sworn in. Alas! how it panied me
to see this diabolical politician take
the highest Office of the State. It
would not have been so with me. No
matter how bad I should have hated
you, or how contemplate man you
were, I would never have listened to
him being made governor until he
had indicated himself. If [ had
been a representative l would have
kept the house in confusion until
could have been heard, and Cover
nor Hoke would have had to prove
you q liar before | would ever con-
sent to him taking the oath of gov
ernor.
And the people of Georgia are to-
4 Il L To- IL
if Booker Washington had been made
governor, and it would have been less
disgrace, for we would not have ex-
pected anything better of this negro.
Now, in regard to your Catholicy,
will say the half has not been told,
and although you have been pelting
the Mormons some, and letting them
pelt their own obnoxious doctrine,
yet | think you have failed to grasp
the real true thing of Mormonism.
The true issue of Mormonism is
not known even to a large number
of their own members; that it is the
foster child Of Catholicy, is not even
dreamed Of, yet this is a fact.
Catholicy knew that many could be
taught and brought up into the prin-
ciples of Catholicy, if under another
name. She knew that to educate and
twist a large number of benighted
people into the pure and unadul-
Grated Catholicy would make it much
easier to control the masses when
the time comes for the Hierarchy to
put his finger on the threats of the
free-loving people, for if a man be-
lieves nearly a thing, it is not hard
to make him believe the whole, and

nal-its history and development and
its effect upon Egypt.
The special feature of the afternoon
was the rendition of Verdi's Opera
Aida upon the violin by Miss Ell
len MacKinnon, accompanied by Mrs.
Wltter on the piano. Preceding this
Mrs. Witter gave the story of the
opera and a short sketch of the life
Of the great Italian virtuouso, Verdi.
The opera Aida was written to
celebrate the formal opening of the
Suez Canal in 1871, and is distinct
ly Egyptian in character and the
scenes and setting are all oriental.
The selections played by Miss Mac
Kinnon and Mrs. Witter were great
ly enjoyed by the ladies who regard
ed it as a musical treat.
At the conclusion of the program
the ladies adjourned to the porch,
where dainty refreshments were sery-
ed. In addition to the members of
the club Mrs. May, Mrs. Post Mrs.
Reed, of Necedah, Mrs. Durga of Nee
nah, Miss Rogers of Racine, and
Miss MacKinnon were present as
guests.

From time to time we have read
in the Grand Rapids Reporter some
thing about work that has been un-
dertaken and accomplished by the wo
men towards improving and beauti-
tying the city, particularly along the
banks of the river. Last Sunday thru
the courtesy of J. Rollin Gray, we
had the pleasure of visiting Grand
Rapids and from our seat in an au-
tomcbile we had a glimpse of some

THE MORAL EFFECT OF

In one respect at least moving
pictures have performed work that
man has found difficult They have
converted the head hunters of the
PHILIPPINES into decent citizens. Our
officials in the islands were at loss
how to impress upon the sayages the
advantages of cleanliness until they
hit upon the moving pictures. Here
was an expedient that spoke all dial
ects and was entertaining at the
same time.
The novelty of the show appealed
to the natives curiosity and then to
his pride, and the result has been

there were filth and insanitary con-

the beneficial effects to the nation
of contact with the Americans Head

like Americans because they realize
they have in them good friends so
long as they behave themselves.
They would be Mortified, he says,

.RTURN|NG FROM
CANADA

SUPERIOR, Wis, May 15-Wiscon-
sin people who sold their farms in
this state some time ago to leave
for Western Canada are returning in
considerable force and are seeking
new locations in this state. 1t is re-
ported by these returning agricultur-
alists that there are thousands of 9th
ers who will return during the year
because of the fact that conditions
were not as represented to them at
the time they left the United States.
While the returning farmers do
not dispute the fact that some good
crops are being raised on the Wes-
tern Canadian lands, they report that
the long hauls to market cut the pro-
fits down to such an extent that they
are really making far less money per
acre than they made in this country.

DUCK HAS -FOUR
LEGS AND PAIRS
Of WINGS
Freak Hatched at ShiOcton Sew
eraI Days Ago Still Alive and
Indications Are 1t viii Grow
and Thrive.

A freak duck was hatched on the
farm of George Pierce near Shiocton
several days ago that takes the
prize for Irregularities regarding its
makeup. To begin with the duck has
two sets of legs, the extra pair be
ing attached to the body back of and
higher up on the body than the regu-
lar Waddlers. Set No. 2 appears to
be more fully developed than the 9th
ers, but they are perfectly useless and
do not seem to interfere with the
ducks walking. In addition to this
peculiar arrangement of legs, the duck
has an auxiliary pair of wings that
take the place of the STUDY tail. Whe-
ther or not the duck will be able to
fly twice as fast or waddle again as
fast as other ducklings in the brood
is question that remains to be seen
The freak duck was alive yesterday
afternoon, according to an Appleton
man who aw it, and there is every
indication that it will live unless some
thing untoward happens The expla.
nation given for the Matching of the
freak duck is that the egg from which
it pecked its way into life must have
been double-yolked and that there are
in reality two ducks in one. The
of this solution, however.
is open to debate. But notwithstand
ing the why for, the freak duck move
lives and has its being and quacks
just as noisesomely as it's feathered
brothers and sisters.
