Dear Editor: When I noted the
result Of the Presidential primary,
held yesterday, I was immensely
gratiied to see that Georgia had
forged TO the front, and had spoken;
and the message which she brought
was, in substance, ''The South 1ur-
nishes the votes, then why not the
candidate?' and the sound of her
voice, mingled with those Of her Sis
ter States, Florida and Alabama,
must have been gruelling indeed, to
the Dear Old Democratic CD Party,
domiciled in the East, and who has
heretofore held the Solid South in
the hollow Of her hand. And verify
we have been fed on lemons. Glanc-
ing further into the details of the

Comment.

I do not oppose the iritiative,
referendum and recall. For more
than twenty years I have been adyo-
eating them. But, there would have
to be some limitations made and pre-
scribed, which would put a check
upon the majority, and safeguard the
constitutional rights Of the minority.
Take a State like Mississippi for
instance, where the negroes are in
the majority; don't you see how the
Roman Catholics or the Socialists
might combine with the negro, and
SO change the laws as to revolution
ize our marriage system, our land
laws, and our laws of Inheritance!
Would you be willing to have an
unrestricted national system Of the
I. r. and r. which would permit
Pennsylvania to dictate laws to your
own State? Don't you see how an
unrestricted system Of direct legisla-
ton, exercised by the Federal gov
eminent would put the small States
at the mercy of the large ones?
Reflect about this, and you will
see that | am right. T. e. w.

Dear Sir and Friend: During the
past few days I have been in several
disputes over the articles you have
printed in the weekly Jeffersonian
concerning Woodrow Wilson and
Booker T. Washington, and I want
you to answer personally the follow
ing questions, as some people have
disputed them, believing and accus-
ing them as being nothing but cam
paign lies. I would be glad you
would blow them up through the
columns Of your paper, and show
that they are true:
/. Is President Taft a Catholic?
2. Is Mrs. Taft a Catholic?
3: Is Woodrow Wilsonaa Cath
Ollie?
4. Is Woodrow Wilson of South
ern blood?
8. Tell about Wilson and Taft
and Washington.
6. Did Wilson ever invite Wash
ington to dine with him?
7. Did Taft?

THE SUPREME COURT
AND OUR TAX TITLES

The case of the Ontario Land COM
pany against Wilfong, decided re-
Gently by the United States supreme
court, has an important bearing on
property acquired by tax-title in this
state, that delinquents will do well to
heed
In 1908 the defendant obtained IT,
tie through tax-deed to two blocks
of real estate for $76.15. The prop
erty is now worth $4,000. The
plaintiff being the owner of what
ever equity existed in the premises
as against the grantee in the tax
deed, brought suit in equity in the
United States circuit court for the
district of Washington to set aside
the tax-deed and quiet title to the
North Yakima, held this deed to be
defective First because no certifi-
cate of delinquency issued by the
county treasurer was filed on the Of
flee of the clerk of the superior
court of the county in which the real
estate was located. Second, the
property was not accurately des-
Cribed. Third. because the owner
was designated as being unknown in
the notice for foreclosure of the lien,
While he was well know.
The defendant took an appeal to
the circuit court of appeals and the
judgment of the lower court was re-
versed. holding the tax-deed to be
good. This judgment was affirmed
by the U. S. supreme court.

CANDIDATES

ing a still hunt for congressional
candidates. Instead of waiting for

local leaders are selecting the men
they believe can make a strong race
and putting the pressure on to get
them out.
Lester P. Edge, E. O. Conner and
V. T. Austin are all expected to get
into the race for congressman from
the Third district along with Martin
Maloney of ColfaX. Considerable
significance is attached to the fact
that Edge a couple of days ago an
nounced that he would not be a can
didate for superior court judge.

ran, will probably announce himself

large Scott has been importunet

democratic possibility so far brought
out for congressman at large.
