At Brussels Gin Belgium), the Kings Of
the Iron and Steel trusts have held a Con-
gress. The leading spirit was Morgan's
lieutenant, Judge Gary. The Judge is the
man who has done 50 much to make a hell out
of Pittsburg, and who has come so near
doing it. The judge is the man who lied so
smoothly to the Congressional Committee
concerning the absorption, at nominal price,
of his most formidable competitor, the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company. For about
$30,000,000 (and acithout paying q cent IN
cosh!D the Morgan crowd gobbled up coal
and iron properties worth at least $5OO,OOO,-
900. And in order that they might bag the
game, the Morgan gang forced their banks to
close down on the Tennessee concern.
In spite of the indisputable evidence of
this fact, Judge Gary sWore to the Commit
tee that the Morgan raiders took over their
rival as a favor to the country!
This is the man who has gone to Brussels
and met the other iron and steel magnates.
He opened up with a speech in favor of the
Golden Rule He says that he loves to do
business by that principle He wants all of
the Iron and Steel Kings to unite, wipe out
unfriendly competition, and to rob the whole
world, with monopoly prices-it being under
stood that there shall be a Golden Rule divis-
ion of the spoil among the robbers.
When the Trusts of each nation will have
banded themselves together by international
agreement, qchat government aoW match, IN

h0ns?
And when mankind, throughout the earth,
shall have been caught in the unreenting
tentacles of memorable Monopoly, what will
the end be?
The Socialists never abuse the Trusts, nor
does the Roman Catholic Church do so.
Why? For opposite reasons:
The Socialists delude themselves with the
belief that the Trusts are leading to the pub
lie ownership of all means of production
otherwise called communism, or collectivism.
The Catholics believe, without any illusion,
that the Trusts are evolving One-Man Power
which, in the end, always allies itself to
the church that holds to the dogma of Alb
solutism, Infallibility, Obedience to Author
ity, and Divine Right.

Thomasville, June "a, 1911.
Hon. T. E. Watson,
Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir L have been reading your articles
concerning Mormons, and l agree with you par
TALLY. am no Mormon myself, but 1 know
several of these followers of Joseph Smith, per-
sonally, and as you say, nine times out of ten
find them very ignorant and almost ten times out
of ten l find them to be ''Popusts," or follow
ers of one, Thos. E. Watson. Rather singular
isn't it?
Isn't Utah composed chiefly of Mormons, and
does it not rank educationally, far ahead of
Georgia?
Do you not get most of your political backing
from the ignorant class? You most assuredly
do, and it's dollars dough-nuts that nne-tenths
of the Mormons in Georgia today also fol-
lowers of Thomas E. Watson. Every Mormon L
know is Populist- ignorant creatures.
You may give this such publicity you see
fit. Very truly yours,
SAMUEL ALEXANDER.
1.) How many Mormons does Mr.. Alex
ander know? He says that those with whom
he is acquainted are Populsts. Will he kind
ly furnish the names and the P. O. addresses?
o. Mr.. Alexander alleges that my follow
ers are composed of the ignorant He must
know quite a number of these poor igno-
ramuses. VIII he be so good as to name them!
When a man makes the broad statement which
Mr.. Alexander does, he should be ready with
his evidence to support it. Let us have list
of those poor, ignorant followers Of mine,
Bro. Alexander.
(3.) The official returns on education in
Utah may show less illiteracy than In Geor-
gia but the Mormons haven't got the Negro
on their hands. Mr. Alexander must remem-
Der that nearly half the population of Geor-
gia is black; and it is this colored race main-.
ly, which causes our State to have such dis
creditable educational status
az IgnOrent men, unless highly 1ntelll-
gent naturally, would never understand Pop
ulism, nor ever become devoted to it's princi-
piles. With us, the educational movement
preceded political organization. Our men
thoroughly understood the great issues upon
which they went before the country. The
thereby regaining some of his lost pres
tige-are Populist measures.
Direct election OF Senators by the people,
Postal banks, Untaxed necessaries of life, the
Parcels Post, the Income tax-all are Popu-
list doctrines
LaFollette, Gore, Dolliver, Cummins,
Owens and the other Insurgent Republicans
pitched their tents on the old stamping
ground of Populism.
In sense, these men-the President and
the Senators-have gone to school to Us old
Pops. Mr.. Alexander should be more care
full in classifying Populists as ignoramuses.
He will tread on the toes of Mr.. Taft, if he
doesn't mind.
Those free-trade speeches that the Presi-
dent is making here of late, sound like the
echoes of Populist speeches of the Nineties
And Bryan's lecture on the Initiative, Ref
erendum and Recall reminds me of those we
Pops used to make, 10 years ago. So, Mr.
Bryan is a follower Of Populsm also-a very
beated follower, it is true.

proper condition for recuperaton, and
that condition is adequate rest. There
is danger when the fatigue of one DAYS
labor is not eliminated before the next
days work is begun. The effects may
then be cumulative, the tissues may be
in continued state of depression, and
the end may be disastrous.
Drs. Brown and Heis in an article on
"Properly Regulated Rest and Exer-
else in Pulmonary tuberculosis, " holds
that the action of the poisonous germs
of disease on the body is very similar to
that of over-exercise. The poisonous
irritation caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues of the body double
load to carry. They emphasize the i'm
portance of rest in the treatment of
tuberculosis, but also insists that pro-
perry regulated exercise is very neces-
sary. They state their conclusions
thus:
Exercise when properly regulated
and systematically graded is an impor-
tant factor in the treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis. Through it the
patient is in many cases returned to
home and family with lessened chances
of future relapse. At the same time
part of his earning capacity is restored
and he is consequently financially less
dependent upon others, relieving him
of ,1ouph worry aypapca apd l,arJcL;,,
DR.. Pratt, who was founder of the
first Church tuberculosis Class in the
United States in the Emmanuel Church
in Boston claims that in the treatment
of tuberculosis absolute rest, often in
bed, must be extended over period of
months, before the consumptive should
take any exercise. He says, "Pro-
longed rest in bed out of doors Yields
better results than any other method
of treating pulmonary tuberculosis.
Patients will have better appetite and
take more food without discomfort and
gain weight and strength faster than
patients with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications are
much less frequent. When used in the
incipient stage recovery is more rapid
and surer.
Mr.. Ross, who is himself a cured con-
sumptive, and writer of considerable
prominence, holds that unless resting
becomes a business to the tuberculosis
patient, he might as well give up his
fight for health. "The period of nfec-
ton with tuberculosis, he says lis not
vacation. 1t is twenty-four- hour
a-day job. True it is period of idle
ness, but one of intelligent, direct idle
ness The days work should consist of
rest; rest should be the only business on
hand The light exercise, or hour of
reading should be considered as a re-
ward of a good days work, like the
evening of slippered east to the tired
business man at the end of the day.
This recreation, however, should be
considered only as an Incidental result
of the patients work, not the main
