WANTS VETS TO HAVE INCREASE
IN PENSION.

My Dear Sir: Being a subscriber
OF your paper and friend, I beg
leave to ask you to advocate the in
crease in the old soldiers pensions in
our State. | know you are true
friend to the old boys and willing to
do for them what no other man would
have the nerve to do, and when you
make your address before the Ceor-
gia Legislature and Senate I hope
you will mention this. There are but
few left and | do think the pitiful
sum of $500 per month fer them to
live on in their advanced age is a
shame on the proud State of Georgia.
l want you to have the honor of this,
as i think it is a great move.
With best wishes, your friend,
G. A. JACKSON.

LETTER? WE GUESS NOT.

Editor, Atlanta Journal,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: I have read your edi-
torial in Saturdays Journal in ref
erence to Mr. Watson supporting the
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency, and he is doing this in spite
OF the fact that your predictions
were he would bolt and repudiate the
nominee.
You claim in said editorial that
Mr.. Watsons support is damaging
to q candidate who has the mis-
fortune to get it.
Come along and let's get down to
brass tacks" few moments-Mr
Watson's men in Georgia have been
right successful for the last few
years, haven't they? While the
Journals have been losing; this be-
ing true, possibly your or the Jour
nails support is hurtful to candidates
receiving same.
Just wait minute and let me ask
you one question If it is a fact that
Mr.. Watson's opposition to a candi-
date benefits said candidate, what in
the HI did you "cut up so for
when he was giving your man Wilson
his support by opposing him. ooh!
Consistency, thou art JEWELL
Mr.. Watson has landed defeating
blows on your poor old head until
it is mighty sore l guess, and you
almost show symptoms of political
insanity. Perhaps the cause for
these symptoms could be traced back
to said blows. Some OF my fellow
townsmen, who like yourself, belong
to the Hoke Smith minority faction
in Georgia express disgust at your
absurdities. If you can explain them
let us have it,
Awaiting same, am very respect
fully,
w. H. WESTMORELAND.
p. ST. would not have you think
for moment that / am undertaking
to defend Mr. Watson against vile
and slanderous attacks, for | know
well as you, that he is absolutely
able to defend himself against SUCH

just to let you know

Send Wilson Some Money!

Woodrow Wilson more pleased than by any
thing ese just after the nomination, by the fact
that he received number of checks running in
amount from $40 to $500 for his campaign fund.
THE PRESIDENCY Is USUALLY MORT
GAGGED FOR A CAMPAIGN FUND.-
Wilson knows this
Getting money from the plain people is like a
drink Of pure water to anan who is offered madden
ing poison instead.
If Wilson is left without campaign fund save
what the interests raise for him. whose fault is it?
1t is the fault of the average plain progressive who
fails to contribute.
Think of the triumph for the people if the new
president could make a statement of his campaign
expenses in these words:
"THE ORDINARY VOTERS - LABORING
MEN, BUSINESS MEN, AND PROFESSIONAL
MEN PAID FOR MY CAMPAIGN--WHICH Is
THEIR CAMPAIGN"
Are the socialists the only honest party in the
nationf The socialists all pay into the fund
Aren't the rest of as public-spirited as they7
Are we willing to have the rich and powerful pay
our candidates expenses? And are we fools enough
to believe that they will do SO If HE rs REALLY

Worthy of Her Place

Discussing the help question, eastern papers are
disgustedly telling of candidate for cookshp, who,
ut an employment agency, demanded photograph
of the kitchen of applicant for 'hep" that 10
patton and condition of the sink tubs range and cup
boards might be known.
But, really, was there anything unreasonable
about the demand7 Wasn't the demand really in
dicative that the girl capable, experienced and
proud to do good work9
The woman looking for house to rent bases her
selection very largely the condition and location
of the sink, range, tubs and cupboards. The engin
eer does not take charge of locomotive without
knowing whether its boiler is is not ready to
burst. The carpenter and the mason don't go to
work building without knowing the condition
of their tools without knowing something about
provisions for their personal safety. The minister
of the gospel doesn't take church without pre-
,viously looking his quarters No professional
man enters upon job wholly ignorant of it's oppor-
tunties or convenences for successful work.
Let us get it out of heads that ''any old thing
will do for the help, and will have to admit
that there's hard in the cook who doesn't
want to break her back and her disposition low
sinks, ancient tubs and ogood ranges. The kitchen
laborer is worthy of her place and tools, well
her hire. She knows this, as is proved by the in
creasing complaint on the scarcity of competent
house help. The competents are simply demanding
right conditions, all other sorts of labor and
you can bet your last cent that the kitchen compe-
tent is in position to get them

Mrs. Stacy

The body of Mrs. Amy p. s. Stacy is being given
back to Mother Earth today, but ''the good men do
lives after them", and SO with woman. Tacoma will
never fully know what Mrs. Stacy's life has meant
and cannot be measured with yardstick gathered
into peck measure.
Born of "a long line Of New England scholars and
ministers, she was gifted with strong mind and
blessed with a vigorous morality.
And she impressed both mental and spiritual up
life on her surroundings.
When the era of club life for woman dawned IN
This country in the last century she was Immediately
Active. Her activity was infused into Tacoma and
The state Of Washington when she became a resident
here and out of it all grew the women's federation
An this state and thousands of clubs where women
gain culture and recreation.
She gave much of her time and energy, and she
rot much out of life.

WINNIPEG, Man., July IT,
Twenty-Five thousand men and
$25, 900, 000-there are the men
and the money that are pushing
in the wolds of Canada the great
est feat in railroad building the
world has ever seen.
A thousand miles of line
that's the stint of the Canadian
Northern's construction gangs for
the current year. 1t will be a
record.
At the same time, farther north
still, in the dreary muskegs OF
the sub-Arctic region, other men
and other millions are at work on
another road.
That's why the Canadian
Northern is in such a hurry. II
wants to put trains into Vancou-
yer before the other road = the
National Transcontinental - gets
into Prince Rupert. It's a race
between the Canadian Northern
and the Canadian government.
Giants in organization and in
vision are behind this great feat
in construction - Sir William
Mackenzie, who financed it, and
greater still. Sir Donald Mann,
who drives the construction work
forward on score of lines;
through mountain at Montreal
across the high divide north OF
lake Superior, hither and yon
over the prairies, and through the
Rockies for hundreds of miles
through solitudes that never
heard the voice of civilized man
till the Canadian Northern en-
gineers came seeking a grade.
Both these men were poor boys
and both have been knighted fol-
their notable achievements in
railroad building.
A few days ago construction
crews began driving a. bore
through Mount Royal into Mon
treal, working night and day al
both ends. New branches are
building in Ontario. linking OF
tawa, Toronto and Quebec. A gar
in western Ontario is being
closed. In Manitoba and Sas.
katchewan the graders and track
layers are swarming.
In Alberta gridiron OF
branches is spreading toward the
Great Peace river region
From Edmonton lines are
stretching westward into British
Columbia and southwest toward
the Pacific and the western ter
minus at Vancouver.
Next years stint ds 96S miles.
BY 1914 freight trains will be
running through to the coast
over the new line. Passenger
trains will be put on during the
year following.
Meanwhile, at. least two new
cities are being built along the
line. One of these is Mount
Royal, q suburb of Montreal,
called into being by the bore
through the mountain. The
other Is Port Mann, a suburb of
Vancouver. where the Pacific
terminus of the road will be and
where great shops, factories and
government buildings are already
rising.
Thirty years ago Canada had
no transcontinental road. In two
OF tlree years more 1t will have
three, one of them owned by the
government, and all of them I'M
der the thumb of the Canadian
railway commission. And two of
them are a week nearer Japan
than the transcontinental 20
Frisco, and one, the National, 400
miles nearer to Japan than either
of It's privately owned rivals.
Our Lady of the Shows is about
ready to give the States fine
run for their money In the mat
ter of ranscontinental traffic.
