IN CHAMP CLARK PLACE.

His home state is center of trouble for
Speaker Clark III connection with any presi
Dental aspirations he may cherish They have
had good deal Of political bargaining in Mis-
souri, in recent years; some OF it is liable to
be to Mr. Clark s disadvantage next year.
At a state convention Of Missouri democrats
held three years ago the resolutions pledged sup
port to Folk for president and to Clark for the
Office of speaker Of the house Of representatives.
That arrangement is held by some of those who
were parties to it to hold if Folk wants his
states support IN next years presidential
politics.
Then. later ON, an additional deal was made
Folk Francis and Reed were candidates for the
senatorship Folk pulled out Reed was elected
Folk did this at time when his action was
helpful to Reed 1t is said that thereby an
obligation was incurred on Reeds part, to be for
Folk s nomination for president, next year. IN
fact it is assumed that Reed is committed to
Folk.
1t is held that to try for his state 5
delegation Speaker Clark would be obliged to
disregard the arrangement entered into three
years ago the talk is that Mr. Clark is not
disposed to do it, Then. too, if he went cam
pagning for Missouri s delegation he "
obliged to fight the Folll-Reed combine. The
fact is recognized that due to this condition Of
affairs Mr.. Clark, as a presidential aspirant,
is not in good form IN his own state.
That of course, is weakness, but all ac-
counts agree in saying that Mr.. Speaker is not
Of mind to disregard the home arrangements
that were entered into and to which he was a
party. Meanwhile there appear no signs of sen
timcnt to the effect that Governor Folk would
be a particular strong man for 1912. That he
has IA good record is not denied That he was
seriously discussed, at one time III connection
with the nomination is true. That happened

is IT GAMBLING
OR MERCHANDISE?

Is it gambling, or is it merchant
disc? The nickel-in-the-slot ma
chimes are attracting "a great deal
of attention just now. The license
officials are trying to collect toll
on these little machines that dec
crate most of the mahogany about
town, and they are trying to do it
under an opinion handed down by
one Cleveland II. Baker.
This toll is placed at $40 a quar-
ter, which local business men claim
is excessive in proportion to the
amount of revenue derived from The
machines. Another thing the bust
ness men contend is, that it is
against the law as on the statutes
of the state to license any gambling
game, and if the trade machines dc
net come under the head of gam
bling, but under that of merchan-
disc, is that they have paid one
license for this privilege and an
other cannot be eXtorted from them

standing.

THE INSURGENTS.

The movement known insurgency was III
high favor year ago now, especially wherein
it was in token of the fixed determination of
several republicans in congress to resist wrong
tendencies within their own party
These progressive men in official station do
not today stand as cordially in public esteem,
and mores the pity They were headed in the
right direction and millions of tirstrate citizens
were ready and willing to follow them. Those
of them who in the senate lined up IN
hostility to the reciprocity plan, and their policy
disappointed great many men. These senators
have talked and talked; they have not pleasant
ly impressed the public nor have they given rea-
sons for their course that have been accepted
as satisfactory. They have not made good
argument.
In marked degree the policy of these nsur-
gents has been distinguished by what may be
called the personal features of it. They OPP
posed Speaker Cannon insisting that he
not true representative of republicanism. They
fought Senator Aldrich, declaring that he was
abusing his leadership and disappearing the
republican party That suited the people; pub
lie opinion was responsive. Later the insur-
gents attacked reciprocity. That essential
ly a Taft policy. Gradually the public settled
down to the belief that this attack was not aim
ed at an economic theory, but that it per-
sonal and was directed against the president OF
the United States
Their course was the more surprising be.
cause when President Taft struck out along
new lines and became sponsor for a reciprocity
measure he did that which, of all things, ought
to have commended him to the favor of the
progressives.
With the net result that, in turn, msur-
gency, so far as the senate is concerned, has
resolved itself into condition where the per
sonal factor dominates Not long ago it meant
the possible leadership of Senator Cummins
That was, perhaps well enough. But there has
been change insurgency centers now IN the
candidacy of Senator La Toilette. And there
are millions of citizens, sincerely progressive
to whom that doesn t look good at all Nat
urally the result is that insurgency does MOI
enjoy the popular favor that existed year ago

A scapegoat baron pawned the eoronet he
had worn at the coronation of Queen Victoria
Having a slight acquaintance with Macready
he wrote to the actor, offering to sell the pawn
ticket, and suggested that the redeemed item
of headgear would be an interesting theatrical
property" Macready replied with character
istic sarcasm that if the thing had been owned
by nobleman of mark who had got into strait
ened circumstances he would have favorably
considered the application. But he did not think
his stock of properties would be improved by
the addition of a gilded coronet that had been
worn by numbskull and pawned by a
profigate.

rs 1T GAMBLING?

To man up tree it looks as if the decision
of the attorney general on slot machines a
graft pure and simple 1t has the appearance
of scheme to fleece little more money from
the business men. If the slot machines are gam
bling devices they can not be used and they can
not be licensed under the laws of this state.
If they are promoters of trade and to be clasSed
as merchandise the business houses have already
paid license for this privilege and another can
not be extorted from them. Taxes and licenses
are too high in this state, and it is about time
that the grating on the public cease.

HOW A PLAIN COUNTRYMAN DIS
SECTS A MISSIONARY SQUAWK.

Dear Sir: Col Stubs of Savannah,
came up last fifth Sunday and gave
us an enlightening on the mission
question. His discourse was extreme
ly interesting, and a lot of it was
good and sound logic, so far as our
meagre resources could tell.
In defending the medical treat
ment given the heather, he said it
was only scriptural, as Christ healed
the sick. He said you just simply
did not know the law; I suppose he
meant the Bible law Said one of
the troubles with you was your love
for the dollar. He advocates doing
away with the Chinese exclusion act
and letting them pour into this coun-
try unrestricted.
But he made two blunders, which
impressed us with their inconsistent
cies. First he said that before the
year was out that it was hoped
Korea would have million converts,
and that if she did, she would have
more than we would have here at
home-we think he meant the Meth
odist Church. What amused us most
was, that Mexico had 100000 souls
depending on the Methodist Church
to be saved, and that we needed 200
missionaries to go to that country.
1t was very pitiful picture he
pictured of those Mexicans, who by
the way have never heard of Christ,
although you can stand on American
soil and talk across the line to them
He did not finish his sermon be-
fore he was lauding Pres. Taft for
sending troops to protect American
interests in Mexico, and said if it
was necessary Georgia could muster
out 10000 in sixty days, herself.
This was a sumner; sending two
hundred missionaries to preach to
them, and ten thousand soldiesr to
give them what Sherman said war
was. Respectfully yours, G. A. T.

TO BRING SOUTHERNERS ''BACK
HOME"
HONIE.''

To the People of the South: I have
the names and addresses of many
who have gone west in past years
from your section and am sending
them such literature as will influence
them to come "back home" but
there are many others whose names I
do not have. I ask you, therefore to
sit down right now and send them to
me. 1t is greatly to your own in
terest that we have more people in
the South, and you can easily help
the cause by sending me the names
and addresses of every one who is in
the west and northwest and whom
you wish to see "back home" We
can settle this problem of idle land in
the South if we want to bad enough.
Let us get our absent friends either
to come "back home" or to send us
other good people. But by all means
let us at least invite them to come
"back home" and give them good,
solid reasons why they should.
Sincerely yours, w. D. ROBERTS.

SCARCELY A TOWN OR CITY
WHICH DOESN'T NEED RE-
FORM.

Dear Sir: 1t seems to me we are in
great need of reform in municipal
government. The people who pay the
tax are entitled to know, occasionally
at least, something about the dis
tribution of the funds. | know lit
tie town in the State of Georgia,
which was called ON a few years
since, to create bonded Indebtedness
of SIS, 900 TO be expended for sewer
age, the bonded Indebtedness was
effected, 80 year bond issued at
per cent; that means an indebtedness
of $4,000 instead of SIS, 900 Or in
other words, the people got SIS, 900
and the coupon clippers get $4,000.
Who gets the best of that enter
prise? There are not over one dozen
people who use the sewerage, and the
town has nothing like sufficient water
to flood the pipes. Just here I would
like to make two suggestions and
would like to hear from you on the
subject, through The JeffersOnian.
First, that all municipal corpora
tions should be compelled by law, to
make semi-annual statements in de-
tail of expenditures. Second, a bond
ed Indebtedness of say ten thousand
dollars or over, shall place the same
in the hands of a commission, under
bond for it's expenditure. Truly,

that he could, and taking charge of
the squad the young Georgian was
taken out and shot to death
I am proud of my uncle, that he
had the courage to refuse to obey the
order.
1t appears that the forager killed
was a close friend of the captain, a
circumstance that steeled his heart
to do the act.
Related by my uncle, who had
been so closely connected with it,
made this, to me, one of the saddest,
incidents of the war, and I shall
always remember it with a tear for
that young Georgian who met so I'M
timely fate.
In telling this story, have had
positive denial from one of Sher-
mans soldiers that such a retalia-
tory order was issued, but I am con-
fident that such an order was issued
My uncle was there and knew what
he told to be true. I wish, however,
that you would verify the fact if you
can.

gian's name. The Illinois boys had

the "long-haired Georgians," as they

death without the stimulous of ac-
tion-who stood with calmness to

SCARBORO'S MAGAZINE
PLAIN TRUTH

This very interesting Magazine has
been greatly enlarged and improved,
and is rapidly taking it's rightful
place as one of the foremost publica-
lions in the country
Its Editor and Publisher, Elder J.
A. ScarbOrO, is a son of Georgia, has
had many years experience, travelled
the whole country and studied con-
ditions in the concrete. He talks
right to the point, and the way he is
digging up and exposing ecclesias-
teal graft in Plain Truth is instruc-
tive and refreshing. Not content to
merely write about it. he has intro
duced the picture feature, and is
showing by actual Photographs how
mission boards collect mission funds
from poor churches and then use the
money to build fine churches and pay
their pastors in the towns and cities.
The May issue is hummer
He promises to give his readers
some facts from foreign mission
fields during the year that will open
peoples eyes to conditions there, as
he has dug up the evidence on the
other side of the question.
PLAIN TRUTH takes a pop at
other subjects all along the line. 1t
is published west of the Mississippi
river and it's horizon is wide and
clear 1t has the wind TANNERS in
that territory on the hop, and they
10 not know what to do with Scar
borO and his Magazine. We rather
guess they will have to let it run
and take the consequences.
You ought to have it to round out
your reading matter
We send Plain Truth and the
Weekly JEFF for 1925, with the
Monthly Magazine for 1925, or with
both Jeffs, for SITS.
If you have already subscribed for
WatsORs and want Scarboro's, too,
we will send it to you for so cents.
