ANOTHER OF THE OLD. GUARD
WHO WILL ACT AS AGENT.

Dear Sir and Friend: You will
recognize me as one of the Old
Guard. A Watson man first, last
and all the time. l have never let
an opportunity pass that I did not
speak in behalf of Watson. l was
born in 1893, went through the Civil
war, married in so, have raised and
educated nine children, all married
except the three youngest, two boys
and baby girl, fifteen years old, who
are still with us.
Boys working for themselves.
MY earthly possession now, is a
home in the town of Newton. I
rented land this year and made eight
bales Of cotton all by myself, except
chopping out cotton. So you must
know there is some life in the old
man yet. The low price of cotton,
the prospect of the boil weevil an
other year, has discouraged me, so
have decided not to plant this year.
[ am ready to act as agent for
The jeff as soon as you can furnish
me with the necessary instructions.
Yours truly,
w. D. THOMPSON.
Newton. Miss.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

so much meanness in the CONNER
clal interests of the country. Under
present partisan conditions business
is continually disturbed and this
hurts everybody, especially those
whose means are limited. If the
tariff is the only difference between
the Two old parties Mr.. Underwood
had might as well join the Prohibi-
ton party and his ideas would then
be more consistent ON tariff policies
However, [ am depressing from the
purpose Of this communication.
Is Mr.. Underwood a Catholic or is
he merely fishing for their support?
Respectfully,
AN ALABAMA PROHIBITIONIST.
Comment:
Oscar Underwood is not a Roman
Catholic. T. E. w.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-01-11
is UNDERWOOD A CATHOLIC?

Dear Sir: After reading your
thursts at Woodrow Wilson for play
ing to the Catholic galleries, as we'll
as your endorsement Of the Hon.
Oscar Underwood for the presidency,
[ am at loss to understand your
position towards the Catholics, but
perhaps, you did not know Mr.. I'm
derwood as we'll as you should have.
l enclose an editorial clipping from
one Of his home papers which GER
tainly tells no tale on Oscar for the
said paper is strong supporter Of
the Alabama congressman. 1t seems
that Mr.. Underwood must either be
a Catholic or else he is seeking to
impress these people with the fact
that he would be Influenced by them
in the event he was elected president.
in plain English he is hob-knobbing
with the Catholics for their support.
Now if you are consistent in your
opposition to Catholic influence you
will have to call Mr.. Underwood
down for leaving his post OF duty and
hieing himself away to New York to
speak to a Catholic club.
In this editorial you will observe
admit the truth and righteousness of
the contention of the Prohibition
Party on the tariff question Our de-
mand is that the tariff question
should be divorced from the curse Of
partisan politics and put under the
control of a non-partisan, nOn-sec-
tional permanent tariff commission
with powers to regulate, etc. Presi-
dent Taft almost admits our con-
tention since he goes far enough to
appoint a temporary commission to
investigate cost of production. etc.
Mr.. Underwood talks as though the
Democratic party was a non-partisan
organization and would not be con-
trolled by the Democratic party de-
mands when tariff measure is to be
enacted, but Mr.. Underwood is play
ing politics and can not deceive av-
erybody by such twaddle. He has
always been regarded as high tariff
Democrat and to be sure he has never
been converted to your free trade
doctrine. There is not voter in the
United States who does not. know
that a Democratic tariff is as detri-
mental to country as Republican
law would be. We tried a Demo
cratic tariff few years which, when
first enacted, was said TO be a righte-
Gus measure.
But Alas! Before it could be re-
pealed the Democratic party was
ashamed of it. We, Prohibitionists,
believe that there can be found good
men in all sections of the country
who would do justice to all parties

NO REASON WHY RAILROADS
SHOULD NOT PAY FEES;
EVERY REASON WHY
THEY SHOULD.

Mr.. Thomas E. Watson, Dear Sir:
Would it be unconstitutional to
make a law that would force the
railroads to pay the attorney fees
as we have to on note when the
case goes against us? If so, in
what way could we come at them
to make them dread a lawsuit.

FRIEND WHO NfISUNDER.
STOOD.


My Dear Sir: I note how nicely
you say, in your recent answers to
Underwood's critics, that the initia-
tive referendum, and recall displays
representative government
Now Mr.. Watson, / will have to
draw line on that, when it is known
that | consider you the profoundest
statesman among us today, it is use
less to say that I seldom have to
draw a line on what you say, but
/ am astounded at the above declara-
ton from you, for I'd swear we never
have had Cat least since / could re-
member) a representative govern
ment and never will have until we
do have the initiative and referen-
dunn, direct elections and the recall.
We have had delegated government,
God knows we have had enough of
that, without any true representative
feature. Now with the initiative,
referendum, direct elections and the
recall, make the delegates subser-
Went to the will Of the electorate,
then we will have real representa-
tive government the elected will
fear not to represent the will of the
electors) is not that common sense
and right? If the initiative and
referendum and recall are to destroy
representative government then I
would bitterly oppose it even as a
state issue.
But with the above in force to-
gether with direct elections, it would
seldom have to be brought into use
after a first few judicial demonstra-
lions of it.
| agree that they are remote as
national practice, but not as remote
as many of the issues were that wa
old Pops started twenty-odd years
ago. [ also agree that it is not neces-
sary or wise to make it a severity Sc
riOus issue in the approaching presi-
Dental campaign, but advocate it al
ways. [ agree too, that Underwood
is the best presidential possibility
available TO us Democrats today, even
if he does oppose those issues.
By all means give us the initiative
and referendum. Then we can vote in
few more important laws, such as
direct elections, and the recall. Then
our representatives would do the
balance. With that leverage we could
practically force our representatives
to give us direct national legislation
with state unit plan left intact.
Most respectfully yours,
J. GORDON SIMPSON.
Comment:
The Initiative, Referendum and re-
call constitute Direct Legislation, as
distinguished from the present sys-
tenn of legislation through represen-
tatiVes When the people themselves
make the laws, as is proposed by the
I. r. & r., it cannot properly be
said that the legislation SO adopted
is that of representatives. In fact,
Direct Legislation is offered as a
substitute for Representative Legisla-
dion.
There is really no difference be-
tween my friend Simpson and myself

Santa Barbara convention and Tex
posing Hawaii ana the fruitfly cam

Weinland with the intention of putting
Hawaii's side of the case before the
meeting of the fruit growers and the
Horticultural board.
Professor SEVERN read his address
before the convention on June u, aft
er which the State Board of Horti-
culture and certain prominent fruit
growers went into committee session
and called both SEVERN and Vein
land before it.
SEVERN was allowed to state his
case and make his charges against
the Territorial system of inspection.
When SEVERN had stated his case,
Weinland was allowed to speak in be-
half of Hawaii as opposed to SEVERN.
The insectary superintendent admit
ted the truth of Professor Seyerin's
statements, but he gave facts omitted
by the profes sor in his address which
entirely changed the complexion OF
the matter
AS a result, the committee went IN

the spread of the fruitfy was not i'm
minent enough to warrant immediate
exclusion of Hawaiian fruits.

islands and falls below freezing point
at the tops of the highest mountains.
The rainfall varies quite as much as
the temperature namely from about
ten inches to more than 800 inches a
year according to locality; hence some
of the lands require irrigation while
others do not. The islands are often
spoken of as the Paradise of the Pa
cific' because of their superior beauty
ana climate.
The soils are probably among the
most fertile to be found anywhere.
Generally speaking the soil is rather
heavy and needs to be plowed deep.
Irrigation.
The first section of the Kohala ditch,
built to take the water from the Gov
eminent land in the Kohala Mountains
and conduct it to homesteaders and
plantation consumers, was completed
on June /, 1906. 1t is more than thir-
teen miles in length and consists of
nine miles of tunnels, one-half mile of
fluming, and four miles of open ditch
ing.
On the island of Oahu there are 491
Grtesian wells, few of which have
become ory. This is the principal
source of water supply both for city
purposes and for the irrigation Of cane
fields. In view of the small area OF
heavy rainfall and large consumption
of water, it is important that the rela'
tion of supply to cons umption should
be determined as accurately as pos
SHE and that all waste of water
should be prevented. A map has been
prepared by the Territorial govern
ment showing the streams, springs
wells, pumping plants, and rain-gauge
stations.
The Kula pipe line, for which $780,
600 Yves appropriated recently to meet
the needs of large agricultural dis
trict on the island of Maui, is now In
use, and $4,000 additional has been
appropriated for the improvement and
extension of the system.
