THINKS JEFFS IMPROVE ALL Y1E
TIME,
TIME

Dear Sir: I write a line to tell
you that the Jeffs improve all the
time. There are men here that
could not say enough hard things
against you IL months ago, but are
now great Watson men. I believe
that there is five times the Jeff Cir
culation here now than was IL
months ago, and yet they come.
When l get my Jeff 1 read it all
generally in four hours and want
more of the same sort. You are the
bravest man in America, undertaking
to build up the dead Democratic par
ty by yourself. Wishing you the
greatest success, I am,

THE JEFFERSONIAN

Gus condition she has ever seen, but
when you get out on the farms in
Georgia and find that ninety per cent
of the tillers of the soil either have
to pay fifteen to twenty per cent in
for cash, or pay the merchants fifty
per cent profit on their supplies ION
time" the currency law, and five
hundred million dollars to move
crops, and all this other bosh goes
to the winds. If the Wilson admins
tration has actually done us any
good through the Democratic leader,
Hog-it-All, we can't see where and
when. It's deyilish hard to make
us fellows out here in the "sticks"
believe that everything is chicken
but the bill, when we know that it
takes harder work and longer hours
to make ends meet now than ever
before.
We long to see the day when the
Dove of Peace" and Wood pile will
give way to brainy men then
we believe times will indeed
be prosperous. But, say, wasn't
that test that Charlie Barrett
made upon the "loans on farm
lands" singer? And yet here
comes along little J. R. S. with a
spell a foot long trying to make us
believe that Little Joe will deceive
the farmers. Even if he were to
(Which will not be the case,) how
could he play the hypocrite more
than Hog-it-All has done? That
speech of Dorsey's here exposed the
lobster in good-style-an Dorsey
took it from the records, upon which
the Hog~eye man is making his cam
paign, according to the papers. Just
keep your eye on the returns-the
farmers are going to be in the sad
die after the Naturalization I'M
ions or no labor unions.
You will please pardon us for this
feeble little effort at explaining our
selves, but we are not SO ignorant as
to allow Hoke Smith nor other
treacherous rascals to lead us about,
even though we can't write. I read
the Jeff and like it; wish it were
semi-weekly, Or daily, and honestly
believe that if you get much more
popular in the country districts that
these people are going to demand
that you publish a daily.
BY the way, had you heard about
it? That little fellow HardWicl1
down there butted in here on the day
Of the Dorsey speaking, and endeaV-
ored to pay his respect to you, say
ing that he had whipped you
down there in the Tenth. Bless your
soul he had to cut it out. We have
not forgotten how this little fellow
and Hoke's friends fixed you in At
lanta. 1t was howl down fol
Hardwick straight from the shoulder
he'll never see daylight in this sec
ton of Georgia, even though the
Catholics down in Augusta do neeC
a foot-kisser to represent them il
Congress. Up here the full-bloodeC
American citizens reign supreme
and we can't stand for everything
It's farewell to Hole and Hoke, Jr
(Hardwick.)
Here's wishing you everything
that is good
Your friend,

Mrs. John Wells, wife of the city
dog catcher. The court session was
held behind closed doors in Record
er Dilts' store, and the allegation is
that the young people in question
called Mrs. Wells some names and
made some threats that would not
look well in print. They, in turn
say that Mrs. Wells made allegations
which seriously disturbed their
peace of minds and caused them to
talk back. The Recorder apparent

Anti Gambling Crusade Takes a
Rest for Awhile.

The anti-gambling crusade ap-
pears to have taken sudden slump
since the fining of the fire company
in connection with the carnival.
Either Mayor Morse and the
detective agency have run out of
cases or else there's a lack of
evidence to assure them of con-
viction.
No court session will be held
either this Friday nor the following
Fridy, according to present accounts.
Some people think that there's a
new crusade on, with complete
new set of detectives and Unable
people, but the Mayor isn't saying
anything. He wears a satisfied
grin and calls attention to the
feature of his first message to
council, in which he stated that he
would prosecute the gamblers of
the city.
In that same message he called
attention to the amount of it that
existed, and now says that he has
done nothing but carry out what he
pledged himself to do.
Some of those who left the city
about the time of the first trials,
have returned. but none of them
have been molested by the police so
far.

COURT
Some More Gambling Fines---Four
Other Cases Tried.

The latest move in the anti
gambling crusade in Recorder Dilts'
court took place on Saturday after
noon when the charge of conduct
ing games of chance at the recent
carnival was considered and the
matter was adjusted" privately be-
tween court and counsel for the
fire company.
Recorder Dilts said that the
amount was not to be given, nor
were the records to be made public,
but it is believed that the COM
mittee in charge of the carnival
were fined about $50 for running a
"disorderly place" in the eyes of
the law. Of course perfect order
was maintained on the grounds, ex-
cepting the games of chance,
which are thus characterized under
the law.
Of course there is no real desire
to see the fire company punished,
because their efforts were directed
solely for the general good of the
city, but after the other gambling
trials complaints were made about
the games of chance at the recent
carnival, by those who were them
selves soaked" in the earlier trials
and this led to the prosecution of
the committee.
Plenty of people say that the
matter ought to be wound up, even
if necessary to hold a twenty-four
hour session of the Recorders court
and in. the meantime some of those
who may have sat in" at game
where money was at stake, on some
occasion, are kept in state of
suspense by the uncertainty of the
proceedings.
In the meantime, those who are
not affected one way or the other
by the proceedings, are growing
jusl bit weary of the whole thing
and hope that it may soon end.
FINED FOR TALKING
Recorder Dilts' court is a busy
place these days. and the latest to
be fined were Hervey Shepherd,
Jacob Helms, Jr., Miss Grace Wilson
and Miss Irene Hoppe, who each
contributed $3.50 toward the city
treasury on a charge preferred by

Police Push Crusade on Gamblers
Following Holding Of Curly
Phillips in $1,000 Bond.

From now on the Atlanta "bookies
win have n tough time OF II, no mat
ter how the long shots at Juarez and
Charleston may be running.
The police following the hearing OF
F. J. C"Curly"O Phillips case in the
Recorders Court Tuesday, are plan
ming 10 take a hand in the game OF
every book they can find operating in
the city.
The report at headquarters is that
number OF bookmakers have left
the city, fearing exposure in the
pending crusade.
Phillips was bound over in the ratio
Of 81 900 on a charge of gambling on
horse races. When arrested re-
yolver was discogered in the custo-
mary pocket, from which arose an
additional charge Of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Judge Broyles' decision is regarded
as the first step toward putting a
heavy penalty on Phillips, and In
breaking UP all the gambling places
that can be found.
A disgruntied bettor turned up"
legged bookmaker had WEIGHED" on a
20 TO / wager that had gone against
him.
Phillips has been running book
on Charleston and Juarez races for
months" said William S. Griffin. the
complainant. His booking agency
was in a saloon at No. 81 Marietta
street"
Policemen In that vicinity said they
had seen Phillips frequently about
the saloon, and that so far as they
could see, he had no regular form of
employment
on hearing this, the Recorder add
ed the charge of vagrancy to his own
docket, binding Phillips over to the
State courts on the gambling charge.
Tom Goodwin appeared as counsel
for Phillips, the prosecution being at
tended to by Chief Lanford and
James l. Mayson, City Attorney.
Charlie Jones. proprietor of the Rex
saloon, was at the hearing with an
attorney
There was some fool gossip about
my having been conencted as a tip
ster on the Charleston races while
was there on my vacation" said
Jones. "and | merely wanted TO be
ready to squelch at once any unjust
and undeserved scandal the police
might try to pile on me-" Jones was
not mentioned at the hearing, how
ever.

Georgia Congressman are having
their troubles this year. In nearly
all districts either real race is In
progress or there is threatened oppo-
sltion of the most serious kind for the
present Representatives.
Being an Administration Congress
man-that Is, being member OF the
majority party in the House, when
tine President is OF the same faith
has its dra wbacks. II is by no man
ner of means all beer and skittles-
not even near beer and near-skittles,
as might be the case with Georgia
Congressman, of course. With such
veterans as Bartlett, Adamson and
Edwards, not to mention such young
er members as Tribble, Park and
Walker, facing trouble, one well may
inquire why this thusness in a Demo-
cratic year, when things so long have
been so peaceful?
The fly in the ointment is not far to
seek-it is mostly summed up in the
pestiferous little word "patronaRei"
Old Uncle Allen" d. Gambler, re-
membered most pleasantly by many
Georgians as a perfectly proper Gov
ernor of this Commonwealth, once
upon a time stated a parable when he
said that "he who appoints one man
to office makes one migrate and a
score of enemies."
Wherefore, let a postoffice become
vacant In Congressman Soandso' S
district, and he undertake to fill it
presto, where grew one enemy before,
now grows dozen or more!
Scratch around and see If you can
locate the cause of the opposition to
Congressman Blank this year. Dol
lars to doughnuts, and you find 1t
based upon antagonsms arising from
blasted ambitions in the matter OF
some Federal appointment.
It may be that the trouble was I'M
avoidable-no doubt the Congressman
did his level best to do what was
right. 1t does not matter in the least.
There was the pie spread for the
feasting. and while twenty men want
ed it, only one could have 1t!
When ones party is in the minor
ity and all one has TO do in Congress
is to view with alarm, and not bother
ones noodle about offices one knows
he can not have, anyway-why, then,
holding on to ones Congressional job
is not so difficult. once let ones par
ty grab off that White House prize.
however-ah, it's sad tale, ship
mates!
Local Bell Phone Ivy No. is, now To-
Gated in the Brown Randolph Bull J.
ing, in Marietta street, has been right
there for more than 80 years. 1t was
the one and only phone in the State
Capitol when that building was To-
Gated on the same plot of groun !;
and, though many changes have taken
place in the meantime, phone 16 still
does business at the old stand
Since this phone was originally in
stituted in the old Capitol-which was
the scene OF many political tragedies
and comedies of the late seventies
and early eighties, when Reconstruc-
ton was very much thing still TO
be reckoned wlth-everything else
has been moved from the locality that
might suggest the ancient order Of
things, and Georgia's statesmen have
been housed snugly in one of The
handsomest capitOls in the nation.
Phone No. Is doubtless would re-
fuse to work in any other vicinity,
after all these years of service.
