London, Feb. 7.-EIome Secre-

Mrs. May Billinghurst, a sufra-

Holloway prison.
Mrs. Billinghurst charges she

says the physician tried to force
food through her nOstrils, but a
nasal obstruction prevented.
Then one of her teeth was delib-

descendant of the King George who exerted
his utmost power, with bribery and with
arms, to crush liberty in this country, as we'll
as in England itself
Myths was bold enough to publish the I'M
welcome truth that King George Of England
had married the daughter of Admiral Sey-
mour, and was the father of some children
by her, before he became King of England
There isn't the slightest doubt that Mylius
published the truth.
The fact that the lady herself is still living
and could never be induced to deny the alleged
marriage, ought to be sufficient evidence to
any unbiased mind.
But even if Myths DID publish libel
on a King, what right did that give to this
Republic to expel him from our shores?
At the same time that Myths is denied
admission, the floods gates are open to every
Roman Catholic cut-throat, brigand and
white-slave driver from Southern Europe.
That the Alien and Sedition Laws have
come back, is not the most important fact /;
the important fact is yet to be ascertained
Have the American people lost the Ameri-
can spirit, to politically destroy those poll
ticians who fathered the old Alien and Sedi-
ton Laws?

The Under-d0g Goes 10 Jail.

THE Supreme Court of the United States
has affirmed the sentence under which
the secretary Of the Sugar Trust will have to
serve a term in the penitentiary.
He was convicted of being a party to the
false weighing of raw sugar, by means of
which the Sugar Trust swinded the Govern
ment for several years, ana out of huge
sum Of money.
Did this secretary, Charles Heibe, profit by
these steals?
1t is not alleged that he did.
He was an employee, on a salary
He was ordered to take part in the falsify-
ing Of the weights, and he obeyed orders.
Otherwise, he would have lost his Job.
Who profted by the systematic fraud, prac-
tised upon the Government?
The Big Men of the Sugar Trust reaped
the profit.
The Havemeyers, John Parsons, Oliver
Thomas, ETC., etc.
When the Grand Jury was ABOUT to indct
these Big Men, President Taft, through his
Attorney General Wickersham, sent word to
District Attorney Wise, of New York, that
vent the indictments.
The Grand Jury, however, did it's duty,
and indicted the big thieves.
They were never so much as arrested.
They were courteously invited to come
round and give bond, and they did So
Their case was allowed to drag on, until
the public was interested in other matters.
Then District Attorney Wise quashed the
indictments, thus putting an end to the
prosecution of the Big Thieves.

BY Their Works We Shall Know
Them.

THE Washington 3D. CO. Times is one
of the publications owned by Mr.. Frank
A. Munsey, of Mmosey'S Magazine.
This paper has always been safe and sane.
It was never classed as crank
It was never known as as calamity bowler.
It never preached the gospel of unrest and
dissatisfaction.
Had the American world been left to the
Times, it would still have been sleeping the
sleep of the dOrmOuse
But while the Times and hundreds Of other
such papers slept in contentment at existing
conditions, there were the men and the women
of ideals who defed public opinion, political,
popularity and social ostracism, in the effort
to bring about better governmental con-
ditions.
The followers of old Peter Cooper, the old
GreenbacEers, the old Populists, can read with
complacency the wondering editorial from
the Washington Times, which will be found
in another column Of this paper.
Did the Times do anything to bring about
the reforms which it glorifes?
No.
Did those public men who are now moving
in the limelight endure the stress of battle
for those reforms?
No.
Such men as Woodrow Wilson, W. J.
Bryan, Robert LaFollette, Theodore Roose-
welt and the other big men who monopolized
public attention and salaried office, are
simply reaping where the earlier workers
sowed are wearing the laurels Of the vic
tories which earlier soldiers won.
Read the Times editorial, and put on your
thlnking-cap.
You will find that editorial under the head
line, "Reckoning by the Mile Stones"

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
Still Pacifying the FilipinOs.

TO do it justice, the Democratic party did
not wish to ratify the Treaty of Paris,
which bound us to pay twenty million dollars
for Islands which the blood of our sailors had
already purchased, and which has burdened
us with the enormous expenditure of nearly
thousand million dollars-to say nothing of
the precious lives lost in those jungles.
Owing to the personal persuasions and in
fuence of w. j. Bryan a sufficient number
of Democratic Senators were prevailed upon
to support the Treaty.
Ever since that time we have been pacify-
ing the Filipinos.
We do it with up-to-date rifles
Sometimes we surround bands of native
Islanders in the bowl formed by an extinct
volcano.
We PROSTATE ourselves on the upper edges
of this bowl, and with great safety and salts
faction to ourselves, we open fire upon the
natives below.
We pacify the men, we pacify the women,
we pacify the children.
When we cease firing, all the natives are
pacifed.
They are all dead,
BY the papers of last week, we are in
formed that we are still pacifying these in
dependence loving Islanders.
We are told that we paciied fifty Of them.
They will never trouble us any more
They will never again sound the battle-cry
of independence
They are all dead
In the meantime, let us continue the enorm-
ously expensive policy of Imperialism: let
us swell our Army and our Navy: let us
wiring money from the starvelings here at
home to pacify the starvelings in their native
Islands.
Let us do this in the name of our fore
fathers, who declared that "all government
rests upon the consent Of the governed"
The United States army is in the Philip
pines for two purposes only: first, to enable
the American Trusts to exploit the natural
resources Of the Islands.
Second, to enable the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy to enslave and exploit the natives
of the Islands.
