these Knights paraded the streets, in uniform,
in military formation, and carrying rifles.
Why are the Romanists drilling and buying
the latest improved small arms?
Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago, answers
the question He proclaims the fact that the
Pappycrats are preparing themselves for pos
sble war. Against whom? He answers that
question, also. IF any effort is made in this
country to treat the Roman church as it has
been treated in Europe, these armed and
drilled Catholic societies will forcibly resist
it. That is what Quigley says.
Now, what agency acted against the Pappy
Gratis in Europe? The Government. It was
the government of France that divorced itself
from the Romanists, wrenched the public
treasury from their grip, and broke up immor-
al converts and monasteries. It was the
government in Spain and Portugal that did
similar things to the Roman church.
Therefore Quigley's statement means that
had the Catholics of those countries been
armed and organized as they are in the Uni
ted States. they aoouzd haze made aooa' on the
government.
His threat as to what they mean to do, if
the European example should be followed in
this country is nothing more nor less than
threat OF rebellion against the government.
Don't you think it about time for the Protest
ants to organize?
All those who protest against Roman en-
croachment should join the League, whether
they are church members or not.

T HE end Of the year is approaching. It has
been a year of hard work for me- My
friends from all parts of the Union write en-
couraging letters, and congratulate me on the
good influence exerted by the paper and mag
aZine.
These letters cheer me up; and are always
welcomed. After all, though, the friend who
co-0perates is the friend who helps. Each of
cur publications ought to have 100000 sub
scribers. The greater the circulation, the
greater the influence. HoaO na01ay of me-

1t aO0uld mean at least 10000 neaO subscribers,
and $4,000 in the treasury of the Jeffersonian

this?
How happy I would be if 10000 of them
did it! THos. E. WATSON.

WE have received hundreds of names for

a short while publish the plan of it. A New

wonders in the building of railroads, &C., and
his connections are strong. He will come to

days, and we will agree upon a line of action.

of the regular Republicans The Insurgents
are strong In the West but the Southern del
egations from states that mever go Repot6h-
c0ra will offset the Insurgent although
these latter will come from states that always
60 Republican.
In like manner, the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party will not be chosen from states
that are Democratic. The Southern delegates
will be overwhelmed by votes from States
that never go Democratic. Queer situation,
isn't it?
We old Pops had it right: We allowed each
State representation based on the Populist
vote cast in the preceding national election.
That was fair; it was Democratic; it squared
with the representative principle
Ii both OF the leading parties should adopt
the rule which the Pops put in practise, the
South would Immediately regain her predom
nance in the national Democratic party. We
would no longer have to submit to Tammany
and Wall Street domination.
And if the Republican party should also
adopt the rule of proportionate representa-
ton, it would escape from the odious necessity
of buying up negro delegates from the South.
A friend writes to inquire about Hon. Joe
Folk, of Missouri. He wishes to know why
Folk would not be a better man for the Pres
ldency than Oscar Underwood.
I haven't a word to say against Mr.. Folk.
He is good man. He is not generally con-
sidered SO strong a man as Underwood and
his defeat in his own State, en- the Senator
ship, rather initiates against him. Besides
his state is not reliably Democratic asset.

MIR. S. j. Smith Takes ID Hard.

T HE sweeping victory of ex-Gov. Joe
Brown has quite upset the Treasurer Of
Butts County, Georgia. He's as mad as an old
and very wet hen. He says that [ must stop
his paper, right away.
What is it all about? He says, "You have
said that the railroads and corporations have
been pulling this country for all the traffic
would bare and you have took up Joe Brown
and elected him for governor, man who has
allwaise been on the side of railroads and
corporations, and his record as Railroad Com
ishner shows it, and I don't ceare to read any
more of your inconsistency"
Nv! Isn't he hot? Seems to me I have
received letters like that before Not SO long
ago. [ leased Tip Harrison quite a lot, for
holding three offices at the same time, and an
old army friend of his, named billiard,
wrote me such letter as S. j. Smith has
done; yet when he heard my speech at Ca
milla, he was one of the first to manfullv give
me his hand Maybe time will also restore
Mr. Smiths good humor.
No; I can't stop Brother Smiths paper and
magazine-at least, not until his time is out.
If, indeed, he should become so reckless as to-
refuse to take them from the Post Office, and
the Postmaster should notify us. according to
law, it will be our duty, within five weeks
thereafter, to cut off the name of our indig-
nant Brother
First Of all, want Brother Smith to ex-
plain to a laughing majority why he kept ST.
lent during the campaign? Why didn't he
drop The Jefs, as soon as he saw me take a
stand for Little Joe! Why did he bottle up
his wrath until after he got left? I declare,
it's funny. Brother Smith never took any ex-
ception to my espousal of the Joe Brown
cause until after he had wiped up the earth
with the other two candidates. Then, Broth
er Smith get so mad that he loses all faith in
T. E. w. Well, why did he not lose faith
and quit. when [ supported Joe Brown be-
fore? Why is my conduct this time so much
worse than it was in 1908?
IF Brother Smith could have shown me that
Joe Brown belongs to the railroads, it was his
duty to have done so, before the election. He
certainly has not learned any thing Of the sort,
since the 18th. He has not had time. But, even
now, [ am willing to be shown that Joe Brown
is under corporation influence IF Brother
Smith can "show me" pledge myself to pub
hsh the facts, and to do all in my power to
defeat any nefarious schemes that the rail-
roads and Little Joe have concocted.
H0a0 can Governor Brown do anything for
the railroads? He does not fix rates The
Commission does that. True, if he and Full

Joe might make secret deal with the rail-

ing on a scheme like that. we will begin to-
yell promptly.
As Commissioner, Joe Broom zoaoered pns-
Semger rates, and ordered a reduction of
freight rates. This angered the corporations
to such an extent that they enjoined the State
from putting the lower freight rates into OPP

DETECTIVE is SUED.
Mrs. e. Nj. Duncan Says Husband Ran
Away With Woman.

Because he left his happy home in To-
peka and eioped with another woman,
Hattie Duncan has filed suit for divorce
against Z. NJ. Duncan, q Santa Fe de-
tective, and incidentally placed a garnish-
ment on the departed companions wages.
Trouble started when Duncan transfer
red his love to Marie Douner, a Topeka
woman, it is charged.
Duncan and his wife were married II
years ago. They have one son. About a
year ago, the petition says Duncan met
Marie Douner. There was something in
the Douner woman's manner and smile
that hypnotized the detective and he be-
gan to send the new friend silk dresses,
bonbons and theater tickets. AS Mrs.
Duncan stayed at home and did the
work. she naturally complained. 1t didn' !
improve matters a bit. Last month Dun
can. it is claimed. left his home in To-
peka, taking his new love with him.
Mrs. Duncan says her rival was ar
rayed in new dresses. new shoes and the
latest millinery. As for the neglected
wife and son they had not a dollar with
which to pay the current months gas
bill. She says Duncan is somewhere in
Iowa and is a detective for the Santa Fe.
She wants his wages tied up and an alb
solute decree of divorce. Judge Dana
this afternoon issued an order. restrain
ing the railway company from paying
Duncan his wages.

Manager Treleaven's Reason for
Gas Shortage.
Says Thursday Would Have Been
''Pie'' Last Winter.
PRICE MAY GO UP.
But Manager Says 1t Won't
Raise Over Tive Cents.
Pressure Is Back to Normal
Again Today.

The troubles of Manager Treleaven
CT the gas company have begun. All
summer the big manager has sat in
his office chair in peace and quietnesS
but last night when the first short
age of gas was felt in the city, and
when the first rather heavy bills of
the month began to pour in on their
yellow faces, the horizon darkened and
a stern descended in that little office
on Kansas avenue.
The manager gave out one assurance
today that will be good news to the
consumers in the city.
Yesterday was the first cold day of
the season and it caught US unawares,
Mr.. Treleaven said. I'VE did not have
things running smoothly and we were
consumers.
but in the middle of the winter
when we are prepared for cold wealth
er, a day like yesterday will be pie
yes, sir, it will be pie"-and the man
agcr pounded his fist on the desk
bang! Dust like that!)
Then he continued: I'VE have nor
NAL pressure again today. ! hope that
we will always have normal pressure
under conditions similar to yesterday.
Of the future the manager said:
81 can give no assurance of good
pressure all this winter. This is i'm
possible I cannot say that we will
have better conditions this winter
than last winter. On the other hand
I have no reason to think that we will
have worse times than we did last
year. I always recommend that con-
sumers have coal in their easements
for emergencies. I continue this re-
commentator"
Price May Be Rasfed.
Then the reporter questioned Man
ager Tre1eaven on the probable raise
in the price of gas this winter. This
is a tender question to Mr.. Treleaven
especially after he has been quoted
incorrectly so many times. Here is
what he said:
''If the price of gas is raised in To-
peka I would be very much surprised
if it would be more than two cents
over the present rate of Is cents per
thousand cubic feet. This has been
the raise in cities near Topeka. I see
no reason why they should make a
larger raise here.
''But I am not saying we will have
q raise in the price of gas. No action
has been taken by our company. I
can't tell what will happen in the fu
ture but 1 know absolutely nothing
new at this time
Then the manager turned around in
his chair and tried to explain to a
woman kicker that it wasn't the fault
