A VOICE FROM THE FAR WEST.

A VOICE E6OM The FAR WEST.
Dear Sir: am an interested
reader Of The Jeffs, and I want to
tell you they are immense. Of all
the reading matter that comes to me,
there is nothing to compare with
them. OF course there are times
when disagree with you, as for in
stance, your comment on F. J. r.
wins article, 1.-THE Bible and the
Socialists in which you refer to the
Ten Commandments. The said COM
mandments are given us by Moses,
while Christ had but one command
ment, namely: Love One Another"
AS matter of fact, His audacity in
criticising Moses was no doubt a
strong factor in arOusing the bitter
ness of the orthodox Jew, which Gull
minated in His crucifxion.
1t was, however, the political sit
uation as regards the two dominat-
ing parties that l wished to comment
on. [ shall be as brief as possible.
In my judgement the steel corpora
ton, drought its affiliation with the
Morgan banking interests and the
railroads, is the dominating infiu-
ence in America politics, and on this
premise | base my arguments. Roose-
welt was President when the steel
corporation was formed. 6O0,OOO,-
600 of common stock, Gall water)
must be DISPOSED Of, and the tariff
must not be seriously discussed
while this stock manipulation and
unloading on the public was going
on. The Roosevelt administration is
now history, how he continually
cried wolf, drawing the peoples at
tentlOn away from the giant combine.
Steel common was to be pushed to
par, but the cry Of wolf had been
carried too far, the muckrakers be-
gan to stir up things in the maya
zines, and steel common had declin-
ed to about $500 share at the
time that President Roosevelt sane
toned the ASSERTIONS of the Ten
nesee Coal & Iron Co.
Now let us turn to Minnesota.
About this time the state locked
horns with the trust, and tonnage
tax bill was passed through both
branches of the legislature Govern
or Johnson vetoed the measure I
regret that I must shatter one of
yOui 1O0diS, MI. w dLSOu, DuL L Will
only mention that when Mr.. John
son became governor, he was a poor
man, and at the time of his. death he
was quite wealthy, and that much of
this wealth was in stocks, that even
his private secretary knew nothing
about; and some are so wicked as to
say that this stock was steel COM
mon. You remember when the Ten
nesee Coal & Iron Co. was absorbed,
and this tonnage tax defeated, steel
common advanced to about $780,
90 a share.
To be brief. Because of the peo-
pies prejudice aainst the 3rd term,
Roosevelt was to go on a hunting
trip. He was to announce and sup
port the successor that they selected
for him, and when his term expired,
Roosevelt was to be reelected. In
the meantime they were fixing the
Democratic slate. Governor John
son Of Minnesota was their man. A
boom was started for him during the
last Democratic National Conven-
ton, headquarters were opened in
Chicago where he was Haunted as

way was a Roman Catholic). He Sc

fully understood you at all times;
and have tried to defend you against
criticism and condemnation; but
have had to stand alone many times.
Your idea in regard to the school
book proposition, no sane man could
oppose. Although some say they OPP
pose you on general principles; and
furthermore, some people have not
enough intelligence to know what
they believe, until they are given
orders from headquarters.
In the next place, your attack on
the method by which our foreign
missions are propagted, is safe,
sane, and sound; and great many
are beginning to wake up to the true
state of affairs. l hear some say,
IF Watson knows a better way, why
don't he tell us about it?" I think
you have told them in words plain
enough for any one to understand.
You state all the time, to use the
Bible method; but it seems that you
have so many bIock-heads to con-
tend with that it is hard to make
them understand.
In your speech here, you told the
people to so back to the methods of
the disciples and the early church;
and that method was preaching the
gospel and teaching the people to
observe all things whatsoever Christ
had commanded them to do. If
you can find anywhere in the New
Testament where the disciples were
commanded to teach literature,
science or physics, Or where it was

failed to find it. Paul says when he
decided to go to the heather, that
he conferred with no man. neither did
he go up to Jerusalem; but he went
Of his own free will and accord.
How is it today? First go to the
Seminary, then go to the Board to
see if you will pass. In the days
Of the apostles the Holy Ghost
went forth preaching the gospel. It
matters not this day and time how
consecrated OR how full of the Holy
Ghost man is, he must pass exami-
nation at some Theological School
before he is recognized as a suitable
ambassador of the gospel Of Christ.
Now, in regard to what Christ
taught His disciples: if anyone will
read the 9Th, 9Th and 18th chapters
of Matthew, they will know exactly
what He taught than; and if He
taught them anything else that is
not fully covered by the lessons as
contained in these chapters, I have
failed to find it. 1t is true He spoke
many things beside those words, but
all Of His words and deeds find for
their basis, the words of the Master
as recorded in the above named
chapters. Were I able within my
self to go to the heather, | would
gladly go; but I cannot go to the
heather, I can do what I can, here
at home.
Brother Watson, long to see the
day when truth will triumph over
error; but it is naedful that the
scripture be fulfilled, and while it is
our duty to contend for right, I ex-
nect for wickedness to increase, and
for men to wax worse and worse,
until Jesus Christ comes the second
time, without sin unto salvation,
then will sin and wickedness be de-
stroyed, and we will have a ''new
Heaven and new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness"
May you live long to contend for
right and oppose error. Yours truly,

Cured of "Stage Fever
(Atlanta Georgian.)

Cured Of severe attack OF "foot-
light fever" by her recent atlanta ex-
perience, Miss Genevieve Goodwino
the pretty 17-year-old nurse who
turned reformer and caused a Fede-
raj investigation Of alleged white
slavery, says she hopes her reyela-
tions may serve as q danger signal
to young girls.
"Cling tightly to your mothers
apron strings; stay closely at home,
and shun the worldly glitter and
glamor, Is q message that l would
send through The Georgian to all
young girls, especially those who are
stage~struck," said Miss Goodwin.
Dream Of Stage Fame Gone.
The girl declared that this, her
first effort to become stage favorite,
is her last The dream of becoming
a vivacious and coquettish soubrette,
she said, once was more alluring to
her than the steady daily grind Of
working as a nurse in big city hos
pital, amid the natural gloom of
wholesale human ills, but when she
was awakened SO rudely she saw
things In a different light. One re-
hearsal satisfied her ambition, she
said, and she now is ready to return
to the simple life.
Miss Goodwin's home is in Pine
vile, KY, where she is well known
and popular. Her parents are Mr..
and Mrs. w. A. Goodwin. Her father
IS a well-to-do contractor and build
er. Miss Goodwin recently left her
home for Cincinnati to become a
professional nurse, and was in the
training school Of the city hospital
there at the time she was engaged by
theatrical agency to take the role
OF soubrette in the Metropolitan Mu-
steal Comedy Company, in Atlanta.
Miss Goodwin will not return to
Cincinnati, but expects to remain in
Atlanta, at least until the white slave
case against Miss Emma Pauline
Hudson, of the show company, Is
disposed of In the United States
Court. Although she has made no
definite plans, the girl hopes to OBJ
tain a position here as telephone op-
orator, or else in one Of the down
town department stores.
She is being cared for now In the
home OF CITY Detective w. A. Chew
ming, in Berne street. Chewning,
