try that Wilson's own books showed him to
be corporation man, Rich mans nan,
despiser of the great mass Of the people, NTH
q special dislike to JeHerS011i09s pri7cipZes
and to the Southern States2
His books prove this, and I had read them;
but the average voters could not be persuaded
that the election Of Wilson would not be
blessing to the country
He was given the most absolute control of
the Government. Not even Andrew jackson
ever exercised such complete mastery Of the
Democratic party, of Congress and Of the
Cabinet
President Wilson has laid down the law,
and Congress has done precisely what he
ordered. He has been school teacher, school
master, school board, chief-cool and bottle
washer
He gave the Morgan Rockefeller Money
Trust exactly the kind Of law it wanted-a
law which in the main is the Bank of Eng
land, and a repetition Of the old National
bank that Andrew jackson fought and killed.
He gave the Trusts Tariff bill which
furnishes them free raw material, and pro-
tects them from foreign competition on the
manufactured article
He put life into the dormant Republican
emergency currency law, operated the ma
chimes night and day, making hundreds of mil
lions Of new money, and loaned it to favored
Wall Street banks at 3 per cent interest, tax
ing as security the Wall Street stocks, bonds,
notes. &c.
He never opened his. mouth to protest
against the wild extravaganza Of Democratic
appropriations, the general increase in sala-
ries, and the amazing creation of new Offices
But he did lay down the law most posi-
lively, when Congress made a move in favor
Of Rural Credits for the farmers He said
fatty and finally that the Government should
not lend any aid to the farmers.
He stuck to that, and Congress obeyed his
mandate.
When the lavish expenditures of the Demo
Gratis in Congress had enptied the Treasury,
President Wilson did not draw upon the
national banks for the $87,O00,000 Of public
money which those banks were using at per
cent interest
For instance, he did not call upon Hoke
Smiths bank for the 100000 that had been
loaned to the Hog-eye man.
There were upwards of q million dollars
Of Government funds loaned at 2 per cent to
Atlanta banks, at the time Woodrow Wilson
walked into the House of Representatives and
told an astonished country that he must levy
new taxes on the people, because Of the war
in Europe.
There were machines going as fast as
fingers could run them, when Wall Street
wanted new money at per cent.
There was money enough to lend the pet
banks nearly $90O00,000 at per cent.
But while the Government could create
new money for Wall Street gamblers and
usurers, 1t could not make neo0 money to pay
ats O2r2 cppepseS.
WHY Nor?
Because Wall Street would not like it.
President Jefferson made new money for
the Government when he purchased Louisi-
ana.

The Pathetic Loyalty OF the
Solid South.


by memories, by force of habit, by prejudice,
and by newspapers.
we have no opposition papers in the South:
1t IS all one way. Therefore, our people
never know anything except what the daily
papers want them to know.
Before the Civil War we had few daily
papers, but those few were divided Some
were Wing and some were Democratic.
Consequently, the people could read both
sides
Better still, the people gathered in large
crowds to hear the instructive. educational
speeches Of such public men as Henry Clay,
Sergeant S. Prentiss, Jefferson Davis, Henry
\. Wise, Thomas Fl. Benton Felix Grundy,
George McDufie, Robert Toombs, Herschel
V. johnson, Alexander FL. Stephens and Ben
jamin Fl. HILL
Think how much the common people could
learn from these intellectual giants during
political campaign.
they were Wings, qchy they were Democrats,
and 2chy they were ''Know Nothings"
After the War, all was changed Economic
question no longer held the stage Cues
tons growing out of the War monopolized
attention. The era of Reconstruction lived
on passions vindictive Republicans in the
North, and resentful Democrats in the South
The sagest civilians, the most experienced
statesmen were knocked down and out by the
popularity of |Rebel Brigadiers"
Gen. John B. Gordon, with the scar on his
face, and with a soldierly bearing that re-
minded the old Confederate of Sharpsburg
and the Wilderness, walked right over
Toombs, Stephens and Hill
When we displaced a trained statesman like
Stephens, and put Gordon in the Z. S. Senate,
we had given the best proof that economic is
sues were forgotten.
A generation grew up that knew nothing
Of the Money Question, nothing of the Tariff,
and nothing OF Transportation issues.
The Greenbackers made strong squirt on
economies, but the two old parties played fox,
adopted the Greenback platform, and
preached the doctrine Of Get your reforms
inside the party"
When the Farmers Alliance made the al
most successful effort to educate the people
out Of hide-bound allegiance to the old par
ties, it used to be pitiful to see how ignorant
the going men were.
The greybeards could always understand
US, for they remembered the speeches made
before the War. But it was Greek to the
younger generation.
These had grown up under Reconstruction,
and they knew the Democratic party in that
connection, only. In those dark days. it was
the Democratic party which had fought our
battles, resisted Northern interference and
resolutely struggled for White supremacy
Like the Greenbaclers, the Populists we're
side-tracked and absorbed by the two old
parties. Platforms were made by Republi-
cans and Democrats that were Populist in
principle; and the papers and the speakers of
the old parties pleaded with Republicans in
the West, and Democrats in the South, to
Get your reforms inside the party"
And so it has gone on from year to year,
from decade to decade, with old promises re-

Secondary Certificates.

Nashville. May 2.-The following
has been given out by S. 81. Thomp-
son, superintendent of Public In
struction: Some question has arisen
as to what is known as secondary GER
tifcstes. The secondary school be-
comes automatically some form Of
high school, People who now hold
secondary certificates will be given for
the coming year some form of .hign
school certificate good for one year on
ly. That is, they will be placed on
the same basis as If they held high
school certificates. Those desiring to
teach branches above the elementary
grades and who have never taught,
and also who are not exempt by law,
will be expected to take any form of
the high school examination they
choose. This will place those now
holding secondary certificates on the
same basis as those holding high
school certificates.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an Early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, s3I Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results In
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor OF any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard Vt is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape OF
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate favor and
absence OF other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.

itentiary.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 29.-Pleading
guilty to the charge of manslaughter,
j. 4. Maxwell of Fall River county,
has been sentenced to a term Of eight
years in the Sioux Falls ~penitentiary.
As the defendant lie in failing health
it is believed this sentence is equiva-
lent to a life term.
He was arrested December 10 last
on the charge of having murdered
Michael Murphy, a Fall River county
h~omesteader. The difficulty between
the two men which resulted in the
death of Murphy appears from all re,
ports received by the authorities to
have been a drunken brawl. and ow.
ing to the circumstances surrounding
the tragedy the charge against Max
we'll was charged to ma~nslaughter
There was no doubt that Maxwell
killed Murphy. but as both were in
~toxicated ut the time the prosecution
believes it was justified in changing
the charge from murder to man
