The Eakimo Mind.

missionary had probably said to them,
DO not put out your fish nets on Sun
day. meaning thereby DO not work
on Sunday However that may be.
the prohibition came to our community

OF disappearances. most mysterious

engaged on a secret mission for the
British foreign office. Vienna was the
young diplomatist's objective and
with friend and valet in a post
chaise, Perleberg. a small posting
town in North Germany, had been
reached. Here Bathurst supped and
slept, awaiting the arrival OF fresh
horses. Waking, he asked If the horses
were ready and passed out Of the inn

saw him go out, but none ever set eyes
on him again Various theories were

O, When Is Badly Harris Going
TO Resign l?

WELL does fond memory bring back to
w mind, the day Of last year, when Badly
Harris suspended the y. S. Census, and came
down to little old Georgia to admonish us
crackers not to misconduct ourselves.
The newspaper clipping that [ reverently
cut out and hung on hook, has faded q good
deal, since the day it was scissored; but then,
you see, Badly has faded good deal, too.
Therefore, it's ''even Steven," between the
clip and the Census taker.
You will remember that the ubiquitous
person described as "a representative Of the
Constitution the law of the land, but
Clark Howell's daily paper-called On Har-
ris, at Harris urgent request, and reported
Mr.. Harris declared that he was very
highly gratlfied to see that the fractional feel
ing which has divided the Democrats of Geor-
gia . seems to be on the wane. and
that an era of good feeling has dawncd," &c.
Then Badly launched out into beautiful
tribute to Jack Slaton who had "dOne so
much more than any other Governor of
recent years, to bring Georgians of all schools
of thought closer together, and to eliminate
the bitter feelings which had divided our
people into two hostile camps for half dozen
years"
Schools of thought! Two hostile camps!
six years And to think that Badly doped
that fy-catcher stuff to the representative of
the Constitution" only half dozen months
ago!
How things can whirl around, turn about,
and mix the pickles.
Jack Slaton is yet in our midst, somewhat
disfgured but still in the ring, and Badly
Harris amt saying a word in his favor.
Didn't Jack bring Georgians of all schools
of thought closer together? Didn't Jack elm
mate fractional feeling, causing bitterness to
wane and the era of good feeling to dawn?
According to Badly, speaking half dozen
swords of battle into bushhool1s, and the
spears Of war into cotton planters. Jack had

Jamestown, Ala, June 10, 1914.
My Dear Sir: I have been noticing a good
deal in the press, and in your Magazine which
I take relative to the twenty-five million swindle
of which Bryan seems to be the author. I write
to ask you, what is this deal for?
Is it to soothe the wounded pride Of priest rid
den Colombia fer the loss of Panama, or for
territory in Colombia?
1t seems to me- we don't owe Colombia dollar
for the Canal Zone; and Colombia is too far from
the Zone for the Government to buy, or want to
buy her territory. Is it another illustration of
Bryan sycophancy? What is it?
| heard you several years ago in New Orleans
in Harvey Jordans Convention. You and Hobson
spoke. After you both had spoken I was asked,
chow do you compare them?' I replied, like
comparing mountain cat with Bengal tiger"
CHAs. RATTRAY.
Answering my friend, I state that we are
not buying anything from Colombia. In fact,
she has no land for sale, except to private
Adventures.
When Mr. Roosevelt was President, strip
of the United States Of Colombia tore itself
loose from Colombia, just as West Virginia
tore loose from the Old Dominion during the
Civil War.
The strip which ripped itself loose from the
parent State called itself "The Republic of
Panama.
II the letters are printed large, and strung
out on q sgnboard, the name will mighty near
cover the country.
After Panama set itself up with the aid Of
two OF three American battle-ships, we leased
the Right of Way for the Canal, and have
been digging it ever since. We pay Panama
$250,000 rental for the Canals right to stay
there.
Now, III, Ioo+rro D,roo,, ,,orco,, JXT;II;,no
Jenkins Bryan, has made treaty with
Colombia, in which he. Bryan, agrees that you
American tax payers shall pay the Catholics
Of Colombia $25 100000, because the Catho-
lies Of Panama tore loose from the Catholics
Of Colombia.
In other words, the Catholics of Panama
are our landlords, and we are their tenants,
paying them $25O,O00 rent; and this lecture
Bureau person, Bryan. has agreed that qce
tenants shall pay Colombia $25,OOOOOO,
because our landlord broke loose from Colon
ba
Thus, q0o aciU poy Colombia for all the land
Panama got, and also pay Panama rent for
the part ne use.
That's peculiar craftsmanship, isn't it?
Not only has Bryan agreed that our Pro-
testant taxpayers shall pay $25,OOO00O for
the land which the Catholics of Panama took
from the Catholics of Colombia; but he has
agreed that the Catholics Of Colombia shall
always have the free use of our Canal whose
right of way we lease from the Catholics of
Panama.
If that treaty is ratified, every vessel that
doesn't want to pay tolls as it goes through
the Canal, will simply use the Colombian flag.
AS to the New Orleans meeting I have
feeling recollection of it. Harvie Jordan and
his New York and New Orleans speculator-
friends, tried to freeze me out, and [ becom-
