AS TO the Validity of the Fifteenth
Amendment
AEHaGn GTE1Gnt

The plain, positive conditions upon which
the Constitution of the United States can be
amended are
Q That two-thirds of the members of
Congress shall vote in favor thereof, and
(2) That three fourths of the States shall
ratify the amendment
The Constitution does not say ''two-thirds
of those present." as it does in some other
cases 1t distinctly requires the concert of
two-thirds of all the Representatives, and two
thirds of all the Senators.
Now the official record kept by that Con-
gress Tin 1862 discloses the fact that the Fiji
teenth Amendment was short, by four votes,
OF tWo-thlrds IN the House, and short, by
hive votes, of two-thirds in the Senate
Therefore, as it was not legally proposed.
it could not be legally ratified
Again, the official record kept by some of
the States discloses the fact that it was not
ratified, as the law of those States require.
1t can be demonstrated that three fourths of
the States did not ratifv at all. State-Sen-
ator Beard, of Florida, has made masterly
presentation of the facts, to which am re-

Democracy i'm England

In 1887, the Aristocrats were in full control
in England. So harsh was its rule that the
people became profoundly dissatisfied What
was known as the Chartist movement sprang
up. It was so-called because what we Am
orleans would call "platform" was then, in
England called Charter. lin this connec-
ton, remember "The Great Charter" wrung
from King John, at Runymede.)
This PLATFORM or charter of the reformers
Of 1887, consisted of six "planks":
CD Manhood suffrage. At that time prop
erty qualifications debarred hundreds of
thousands Of good and true men from voting.
~ Annual parliaments. At that time,
parliaments were convened arbitrarily at the
pleasure of the ministry.
(3) Vote by ballot At that time men had
to vote By voice; and that gave landlords and
employers the whiphand over tenants and
laborers.
AZ Abolition of property qualifications for
the election of members of Parliament
(5) Payment of members-so that poor
men could afford to become candidates.
CO. Division of the country into equal cleo
toral districts. The evil was that great cities
recently sprung up had no representation,
while "dead towns" continued to send mem
bers to Parliament
These demands of the Chartists were re-
garded as revolutionary. They created the
widest excitement. England narrowly es-
capped civil war. In fact the agitation proved
abortive, for the tinoe
But see what has happened
With the exception of the payment of salar-
les to members of Parliament, eoe7y one of the
Ch0rtist demands IS noao the zaqo Of England.
Not on y that, but by a vote taken last week,
the House Of Lords has abdicated it's position
of supremacy, and the House Of Commons
will hencpfOrth ru1n Great RritaiD Tba
democracy is in absolute control; and the
King and the Lords are mere fgure-heads.
So in the United States, Populism sprang
up, and voiced the demands of the people.
1t was ridculed and prosecuted. It's leaders
were bounded down, and made to suffer mex
pressbe torments, Yet today, the principles
of Populism rule the vastly deep of American
politics. You see them in the control of
railroad rates, in the r. F. D. system, in the
Postal banks, in the Reciprocity Treaty, in
the Parcels post.

Some Explanations AS to Terms
Used i'm Regard TO Stock
Subscriptions

1t seems that there is lack of information
among the people as to the terms used in
advertising stocks and bonds, in corporations.
Therefore, we give some simple definitions
which may be serviceable
% When a stock certificate, say of $40
sells for that amount, it is reported as selling
at par.
In other words, face vozue, and par value
mean the same thing.
(2) When a stock certificate, say of $40.
sells for less than that amount, it is reported
as being at discount. If the $40 certificate
sells for S., the discount is, of course, so per
cent.
(3) When a stock certificate, say of $40,
sells for more than that amount, it is reported
as being at q premium. 1t is sells for S15,
this premium is, of course, so per cent
In our Jeffersonian Publishing Company,
we have never sold any stock, save at par.
That is, the stock certificate represents the
actual amount of money paid in. You pay
$50 and you get stock to that amount. You
pay 81 400 and you got stock to that amount.
There are no determinations, for or against
any one.
We have at Thomson a magnificent plant,
capable of printing anything, from ballot
or visiting card, up to a book, illustrated in
colors
We are publishing state paper, The Pro-
gressive Democrat; a national weekly, The
Jefersonior, and a high-class monthly maya
zine, Wats0n's.
These are run in strict obedience to the law,
and each of them is exactly what it pretends
to be- All three are absolutely independent
of corporation influence; and are devoted to
the best interests of the country as | under
stand them. They suppress no truth and they
publish no falsehood. They are meant to be
educational and helpful. And they are
meant to be permanent.
[ am not only consecrating my own life to
them, but [ am training those who are
younger to continue the work when there shall
have come the zone clear call for me-
To increase the number of those who take
a personal interest in the work that we are
doing, we have offered stock for sale, and
would be glad and encouraged to have gov
join us.

be made, requiring that every editorial be
signed by the author.
Immensely more beneficial would be a law
requiring every newspaper and magazine to
publish the names of their owners
In many cases, the mere name of writer
would be Of no service to the public. But in
every case it is desirable to know who owns
a newspaper or magazine.
We know that the Macon Telegraph be-.
longs to the Pendleton family. Ge0rgla11s
are it's proprietors.
But who knows what is back of those At
lanta twins, The Journal and The Georgian?
Nobody. There are indications that the pro-
prietorship is in the Southern Railroad, the
L. & n. Railroad, Hoke Smith, and w. r.
Hearst.
In a public speech which has never been
retracted, Smith described Fred Seely, osten-
sible owner of The Georgian, as "a hypocrit-
ical sneak" have no fault to find with the
description, and, apparently Seely has none
to find. At least, he doesn't seem to have
found any, as yet His paper appears to be
an inmate of Smiths menagerie.
But The Journal is Smiths cold Reliable"
When Smith fops, The Journal fops. When
Smith is Performer" The Journal is Just as
virtuous. When Smith wants the people to
take hand in an election, The Journal is
right there with it's loud echo. When Smith
wants to keep an election away from the peo-
pie, 7he Journal is equally certain that the
people are too busy to vote.
|, of course, don't know what salaries are
paid The Journals editors; but whatever the
amount it is none too large Men who can
be counted on to change their minds at a mo-
ment's notice, any day in the year; and to
eat, with eager relish, the words they put in
print, before Smiths change Of position, need
to be supple, flexible, adj Unstable, nimble, spry,
hght-sleepers, qulck-forgetters, so keen of
communicable appetite as to change from
turkey to buzzard, without asking for clean
plate.
(No; John Henry! I'm not angry-just
amused.)
Now, here on my table is a handful of clip
pings from The atlanta Journal, of 1906
To be exact, the date of the Journal edi-
torlal to which [ refer is August 81, 1906.
The subject matter was, the right of the
people to rule themselves
The writer went on to describe how ring
of politicians, railroad lobbyists, ETC., had
banded themselves together, to rule the State.
"The people kicked. The railroads laughed.
kick and be damned said they; your officials
are our politicians.
ut was generally recognized among the
machine politicians that Clark Howell was to
succeed Joe Terrell. It had been fixed The
people-O, the people be damned It was
none of their business"
So wrote the editor of the Journal when
"the Ring" was for Clark Howell.
But in 1911 when "the Ring" was for Hoke
Smith, it was The Journal which said "the
people be damned
In both campaigns, my own position was
the same-that the people ought to elect; not
the politicians.
In 1906 The Journal said: "But the people
made it their business"
