ly dazzled Wallis. He forgot his
intended interview. He forgot
everything but the girl, and that
hour spent on a park bench be-
came the old, old story of mans
infatuation at first sight. r
When they parted at the park
entrance, he cursed his blind stu
pidity. Name, address, every
thing, save a most vivid person
atty, were unknown quantities.
He started racing swiftly along
the street, but she had vanished
a dream, gone into the haze where
dreams abide. Wallis eyes filled
with unaccustomed, bitter tears.
She was alone, forlorn, poor, and
he had let her go. He was. alone,
forlorn, poor-for he had loved
her and lost her.

THE CASE OF TOM WATSON.

The Times-Union does not love
Tom Watson a little bit but above
all things it hates hypocrisy and
persecution and we think both are
involved in this prosecution of Tom
Watson.
Mr.. Watson has many bitter ene-
mics and he is entitled to as many
as any man we know, but they should
stand up and fight him. They should
not sneak around under the power
Of the government to stab him.
But we can say one thing for this
great dissemination Of discord, this
constant vomiter OF spIeen-he is
about as able TO take care OF him
self in such fight as he has on hand
as any one we know. He says the
language referred to as obscene is
an exact quotation from a book
copyrighted by the United States
and circulated through the mails.
We may take it for granted that this
is true. 1t is matter that can be
positively proved or else positively
dispr0yed. If it is a quotation from
a book he can show the book If he
can't show it his statement will be
known to be false. No man would
make statement that could be
shown beyond the shadow OF a doubt
to be false before the deception
could benefit him. SO we may take
it for granted in advance that Mr..
Watson is prepared to produce the
book from which this quotation is
taken, show the quotation and the
fact that the book is copyrighted.
If he can show this he will have
the authorities who loaned them
selves with the power Of the govern
met to his enemies in a pretty deep
hole. If the government has copy
righted an obscene book the officials
responsible will be in deeper trouble
than Tom Watson If the mails
have been carrying this book it is
disgracefu1 to leave others who have

been sending it unpublished while
seeking to punish one who sent
through the mails quotation
from it.
II this book is copyrighted and
has been going through the mails
Tom Watson had reason to think
any quotation from it mailable. We
do not love Tom Watson but we bit
terly hate an official who makes the
law respector of persons, who wrYY

I would prefer the anonymous to the

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

To the Editor Of The World:
What the Republicans thought was their sheet
anchor is proving boomerang at Chicago. Negro
suffrage, imposed on the people to keep the Re-
publican party in power is proving destructive to
its authors.

wickedness of reconstruction days is being

1'he negro delegates, and the few Southern
white delegates postmasters San sich''-
elected to the Chicago convention by negroes,
have absolutely controlled the situation at

With the negro delegates, and the Southern
oficeholding white delegates, Taft has had

THE .JEFFERSONIAN

majority-his hcnchmcn, Roscwater, Penrose
and Crane, have ruled things as they wanted
to-they have robbed and stolen in manner
that would put any political thief or CRATER
of former days to shame.
These negro delegates from the South, who
never cast an electoral vote, have been COM
plete masters of the situation.
They have dictated to the white RepubIi-
cans of the great State Of Pennsylvania to
the white Republicans Of Massachusetts, New
Jersey, California, ohio, Illinois, Ind5uua,
and the other States where primaries were
held, and the expressed will of the people was
IN favor of Roosevelt and overwhelmingly
against Taft
But as these Southern coons are merely
showing to their Northern brethren their APP
probation of what the Northern brethren
have done for then--as they are giving them
practical lesson in what negro suffrage will
dove have no kick whatever to make.
The Northern brethren are simply getting
healthy dose of the medicine that they
choked down the throats of Southern white
people for years, and would like to still make
them swallow.
The first sign of what may turn out to be
fight at Baltimore has made its appearance
When the Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Executive Committee first gave out the
information that Judge Parker might be Sc
lected as temporary chairman Of the conven-
ton, Mr.. Bryan got on a high horse and or
dered the committee not to select Parker.
Well, the committee has gone ahead and
selected Judge Parker in spite of Mr.. Bryan's
orders to the contrary, SO it is Mr.. Bryan's
move next
How Mr. Bryan can raise an objection to
Judge Parker is hard to understand.
He not only supported Judge Parker in
1904 by voting for him, but stumped for him
as we'll
In fact, if we remember correctly, Mr..
Bryan hailed this same Judge Parker as the
"Moses Of Democracy"
In the Presidential campaign of 1908,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-06-27

Judge Parker returned the favor by making
speeches for Bryan against Taft and Bryan
pretended to be grateful for the service rem
dered
Parker has not changed one bit in principle
since the Presidential campaign of 1904, and
If Mr.. Bryan considered him the "Moses Of
Democracy at that time, why should he OPP
pose the same "Moses of Democracy" for tenn
porary chairman of the Baltimore conven-
ton?
The Money Trust inquiry is bringing out
some interesting facts as to the relations be-
tween our Government at Washington and
the banking interests of Morgan & Co.
You will remember that during the Nor
gan-Perkins manufactured panic of 1907 the
then Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Corte1-
you, dumped $25,000,00O of the peoples
money into Wall street to save the situation.
You will remember that day or two after
Cortelyou dumped this $25,000,O0O Of your
money into Wall street the report went out
that J. p. Morgan had saved the situation by
loaning the banks $25,000,0o0 In cash.
Morgan did loan the different banks the
$25, 100000 that the papers stated that he did,
and it was the same money that Cortelyou
had taken out of the treasury.
Cortelyou did not charge Morgan one cent
interest on the $25,OO00O0, but Morgan
charged the banks big interest, thus clean
ing up several million dollars, by use of
money that belonged to the people, and which
he was not entitled to.
Morgan could well afford to have panic
happen every year. if he had Roosevelt for
President, and Cortelyou for Secretary of
the Treasury.
But this was not the first and only time
that the big bankers of Wall street have had
the funds Of the Treasury at their command
lin fact, the Treasury seems to be branch
house of these big banking interests.

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. ]. w. LentZ, OF Orders, a Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his life was saved.
William MlonIch, in Pendleton county,
tried to cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mfonich is 76 years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use OF the Jefferson
County Telephone.
