The famous mosque of St. Sophia. fin Constantinople, is always fragrant with the odor of musk, and has been so ever since 1t was built in the ninth century. the curious thing being that nothing is done to keep it perfumed. The solution of the seeming mystery lies in the fact that when it was built, more than 1000 years ago, the stones and bricks were fixed with mortar mixed with musk.

MONTICELLO
MEETING.

Dear Sir and Friend: Of your
speech in Monticello, I can truly
say you came, you saw, you con-
quered. AS to the crowd, [ quote
from the Monticello News: 1T was
Immense. The court house room
galleries were crowded to overflow,
the doors were damned, and many
were crowded out, many were from
adjoining counties. You caught the
crowd from the start, and you held it
spell-bound to the finish. No audi
ence ever gave more attention, was
more orderly. or seemed more de-
termined to catch every word ut
tered; silence rejgned supreme, and
only broken by repeated bursts of
applause after applause, as the peo-
pie gladly received the true facts as
you unfolded them; showing them
the unjust burdens the poor people
are bearing, while the very, very,
rich. practically pay no taxes and go
scot free, and with special privileges
to plumber and rob the people, etc.
Those and more astounding facts,
you told them, were eye-openers, and
from the bottom of their hearts. they
responded from time to time, with
hearty rounds of applause. You
placed the responsibility for the ex-
listing state of affairs, with sledge-
hammer blows, upon the heads Of
those corrupt officials, who have
sold out the people and their unjust
laws on our statute books, where it
justly and properly belonged. Well,
Mr.. Watson, / was where l could
see the features of your audience;
the faces of those who understood
you from the start, in gone-by days,
were beaming with smiles, they were
filled with joy and gladness to over
flowing. Many that have never UNI
derstood you before, We're carried
away in raptures of admiration, as
you stated facts that they had never
heard of before. Why, Mr.. Watson,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

that both parties accept the truth of
Gen. Hancocks's statement about the
tariff: at is local question"
Wherever protection pays-wheth-
er North, South, East or West, there
we find protection favored
The South, with it's cherished ideas
of Free Trade, is being inoculated
with protective ideas and theories.
Our sugar, rice, lumber, coal,
minerals, manufacturing (infant in
dustries) must be protected.
These facts cannot be successfully
contradicted. 1t is not a swinging
from the Republican to the Democrat
ic party, nor vice versa, that the
country needs, nor the augmentation
of either, but it does need, and must
have, something radically different
from them.
What shall we have, and how shall
we get it? The political pendulum
may swing; the tide Of craftsmanship
may ebb and flow between these par
ties as local interests may demand,
out their interests nationally are iden-
teal.
The masses are ready for a change.
We need bold, able, and capable lead
ers, and men to lead can be brought
out into the lmelight. Some reas-
enable and sensible concession will
have to be made. These can be made
without sacrifice of principles or
manhood.

WANTS A NEW PARTY.

Editor JEFF: The agitation of the
subject Of forming a new party is
one OF much interest to me. My par
ty (Peoples) has been forced to close
it's portals and go out of business.
The Democratic and Republican par
ties like our principles so we'll that
one uses them for campaign purposes
ana the other is putting them into
practice.
This agitation calls to my recollec-
ton the fact the t in June, 1910, re-
ceived communication signed by
three western U. S. Senators, urging
me to become charter member of an
organization styled "The Democratic
Federation
This organization proposes through
the Democratic party TO do away
with machine rule" and to substitute
'People rule"
quote: This program is squarely
in line with the Democratic National
platform: Shall the people rule? We
emphasize again the declaration Of
our Democratic platform Of 1905"
These propositions to reform & ina
chine ruled" party by joining it, don't
strike me with much force.
An examination of the Democratic
and Republican platforms Of 1908
shows a distinction without a differ
ence.
So | concluded that if we were to
get from under machine rule we
must get out Of the machine"
All sensible men realize that both
parties are machine ruled" Real
iZing, as | thought, that the augmen-
tation of the Democratic party, under
it's platform declarations, was not the
mode for success, didn't charter in.
The sophistry that is used to make
us believe that one Of these dominant
parties is better or worse, nationally,
than the other; that existing condi-
tions are traceable, alone, to either,
or that reform can be had from either
must be utterly disregarded Guilt
BILE partisonship has existed long
enough to convince the most credu-
lous that there is no hope in sticking
to party prejudices, as they nave been
so Ions observed.
Upon tariff and trusts they are to-
gether whenever local Or personal in
terest dominates.
We don't find any Republican
trusts, Or Democratic trusts, but we
do find plenty of Rep-Demo trusts
and DemO-Rep trusts. We also find

New York, April Is. - The United

Williams had not worked during the
past nine years owing to an attack OF

much better lately that his wife and
six children had endeavored to per-
suade him to go to work. He would
not. and becoming disguised, the wife
went to Alderman Pollock to see If
something could not be done to COM
pei him to aid his family. Aldermen
Pollock sent Constable Roberts to the
house.
Williams, apprised of what his wife
had done, cut his throat as the officer
approached, fell into his arms and died
in a couple of minutes.

Manila, Philippine Islands, April Is.
Walter H. Rodney, of the
Second United States cavalry, sta

have taken an oath to shed the blood
of the hated Christian They know no
fear, believing that the performance
of what they consider religious duty.
If resulting in their own death, will
be rewarded with eternal bliss.
The fanatic was armed with bolo,

encountered Rodney, seemingly by
chance, and struck him down before
