How can it be to the best interest Of the

He is taxed almost to death; he has to pay
double and triple prices for the things he is
compelled to buy; he is unable to get fair
prices for what he sells; he has a family to
feed, clothe and educate; he has to pay the
preacher, the doctor, the dentist and the law

work at home.
With all this load to carry, how on earth is
he to pay fancy salaries to foreign mission

NOTES ON NATIONAL POLITICS

CONGREss is in session again, and the
game has briskly begun. Both parties
are sparring for position, with an eye to
the campaign of 1912. Mr.. Taft is still on the
job of screening the Tariff, and is hiding be-
hind Tariff Board made up of such men as
Pussy-fo Howard, who deserted to the Re-
publicans in March, 1909. Consequently, the
prospect for legislation beneficial to the people
is not bright.
After nine years Of the laws delay the Chi
cago meat packers are at last facing Jury
It will probably be nine more years before
they are finally convicted. And if they should
fail to escape on some technicality and should
eventually be fined, they will make the public
pay the penalty. How? By putting up the
price of meat ALI this Roosevelt-Taft gable
about controlling the Trusts is the merest non.
sense How can you control combinations
that are monopolies. and which can find some
way of controlling the men who are chosen to
control them? It is impossible The way to
control the Trusts is to put an end to their
monopoly. The only way to do that is to low
er custom house duties to such an extent that
all foreign goods can enter our markets, and
compete with all American goods The Amer
lean farmer has to compete with all the world;
why shouldn't the American manufacturer be
made to do it?

n FRIEND sends leaf taken from the
~ minutes of the Bulloch County (Georgia)
Baptist Association. It contains por-
ton of 'Report on Literature" signed by
Jno F. Eden and P. G. Johnson. Mr.. Eden
is the pastor in charge of the Baptist church
in Statesboro. We have no information as to
Mr. johnson.
In this "Report on Literature" The Jefer-
so1aaaq, is mentioned in the same connection
with 'svsze and o6scene'' books and papers;
and Messrs Eden and johnson deplore the
fact that "The Jeferso71am is read much more
largely by our people than The Christian m
de9" The consequence is-according to Eden
and Johnson people are being poisoned
in their minds against their best interests and
the progress of the churches"
If The Jefersonioao has more readers among
the Baptists, than the official organ has, there
must be some good reason for it. Possibly
our paper is more interesting "literature"
than the Imdeu. We give both sides of every
question a hearing; the Indea doesn't. We
have more spice and variety than the Lndev.
We come in closer contact with the common
man Thousands of badly written, badly
spelled letters-from the illiterate and the
poor-which we straighten out and print,
would be thrown into the Indeo's waste-bas-
ket The humblest man living can get his
thought, or his useful fact before the public,
if he will just send it to The Jefers0ndan. It
is not that way with the Inde~, Or any other

Postmaster General Hitchcock officially rec
ommends the Parcels Post, not only for the
rural routes but in towns and cities having
delivery by carriers.
Why put such a limitation on it? If the
proposition be sound IN principle, why deny
the benefit to the small town which has no de-
livery by carrier? Why not give the inhab-
liant of the small town the privilege of re-
celving his express package at the post office,
as he does his mail?
To send out parcels along the r. F. D.
routes is simply to broaden the field for the
Express Companies. To confine the service to

Methodist missionaries are paid on about
the same scale. Baptist missionaries get more.
Married ones are paid $1,000 per year, with an

Listen to what Ella Wheeler Wilcox says on
this subject:
Zone who visits the Orient will be some
what surprised to find that the best houses
and most attractive grounds IN eoery city he
mag enter belong to the missionaries. There
are two explanations of this fact. One is that
the salary paid the missionary enables him to
live far more elegantly in the Orient than he
could live at home on the same income.

The people of Georgia should not be de-
prived Of the right to have a Convention. 1t
has never before been denied us. Unless we
have one the people will have no voice i'm the
selection of delegates to the NATIONAL
PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.
Unless such a sovereign Convention is held
the Executive Committee will appoint the del
egates. That would mean, A PACKED DEL
EGATION OF THE BOSS HENCHNIEN-a
delegation to be bargained off to the Boss
advantage.
THE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT SUBMIT TO

POTISM.
