Editor Jeffersonian:
Now that the Chicago ape Mu-
scum and the Baltimore monkey
show (where w. J. B. turned the
crank organ and the New Jersey
monkeys danced) is primarily over,
and the political pot has chance of
simmering down for while at least
and as you didn't answer my sec
ond batch of questions and didn't
publish my third, so that others
might answer them, / would like to
get in a few more edgewise if you
please.
First. want to express my utter
contempt for that procession of fool
hardness that paraded the streets
OF Washington few weeks ago,
for your Uncle Samuel and his
subordinate bone heads for their
petty prosecutions of you and the
editors of the Appeal to Reason.
Yes, the shoot Off will have back
action to it'no doubt, and I here pre-
dict that you will give them as bad
whipping as the Appeal did, and
will. If they had shot at smaller
game with lesser load maby the
rebound would not have kicked the
prefecture out of them. Your SUI
peranuated Uncle is becoming child
ish and whimsical in his old age and
broken constitution and needs re-
tutoring for lot of the worlds
history that he has forgotten. I
would like to say to Bro. Scarboro
that if the Socialist as a party has
ever taught infdelity or atheism I
can't find it, and he can't find it.
They are doing more today to pre-
vent commerrialism selling this ma
ton to mammon than any movement
that has come up in the last CEN
fury. Their chief religion is that
you shall consume what you pro-
duee or its equivalent, less enough
to run the affairs of State with lot
of useless Offices and expenses elimi-
mated and more useful Offices and
expenses added. could show him
In this country many places where
fifty dollars worth of dirt has
washed off down into the branches
and bellows when a few days work
would have prevented it. I can re-
r'i0d him of the devastating Missis-
siDpi floods that carry off thousands
OF dollars worth of soil never to re-
turn and destroy other thousands in
property, and create panic that his
Uncle Samuel has to feed several
weeks. This soil washes off down
into the branch in to the creek. into
the river, and into the bay, and in
addition to the expended soil he pays
his Uncle Sam to hire Greens and
Gaynors to dredge it out and Green
and Gavnor confiscate the dough"
ard take a summer vacation in
Canada. A Socialist administration
would not allow this. They would
give him lease on a limited GUAM
THY of land and make the coneerva-
ton of the soil compulsory. Where
is your posterity going to when this
old planet wears out? Well here
are those queries.
Question. What availeth it to us
If we rake the country with a fine
tooth comb and bring up B. R.
Tillman, w. G. Brantley, or A. O..
Bacon; arm them with a pitch fork,
carry them to Washington on flow
cry beds of ease. Where dazzled by
the splendor Of Washington, drunk
on his success, ambitious for means
and notoriety in the higher" So
ciety. You there witness his sur
render and joining the enemy to
stab back at you with the idential
pitch-fork with which you sent him
to defend you? Suggestion That
delegated representative govern
ment is a failure first last and all
