prevaricate on any conceivable subject, would
be almost sacriligious.
Especially, in H. Y. McCord.
Henry is what you night call estopped from
disputing anything the Journal asserts.
The Chamber Of Commerce vouched for
Henry, and encouraged mankind to entrust
him with the Buy-a-Bale lucre.
The opulent philanthrops of the North ac-
cordingly piled up stacks Of ducats in front
Of Henry, without requiring bond, security,
vouchers or anything.
He was Hoke Smiths manager, and the
Chamber Of Commerce said he was all hunly
dory, and the Northern money, most of it
tainted-but all of it smelling good-came
pouring down on Henry.
No2c, Henry, qe7lat did you do qcith it?
Your silence is becoming oppressive. Your
obduracy is causing derogotory remarks.
Your sudden loss of speech bears a strong
resemblance to William Roczefellers throat
trouble.
In reply to letter from South Georgia,
requesting some of that 10 cent money, the
McCord Committee wrote, that 81 counties
around Atlanta had been selected, and that
the tenants and troopers of those 81 counties
would get the 10 cents for their cotton.
All right, GiUe as list Of the 81 counties!
Gire us q list Of the tenants and troopers to
9ch0" y0u pau ~ cents f0T the22' c0t6on!!!
This demand is fair one.
The public is interested, and the public has
q right to h9eoao qohat disposition acaS made
of THOSE TRUST FUNDS.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce owes a
duty to itself and to the people in this matter.
Already, the refusal to publish a statement
has created most nfavorable impression.
IF the Chamber of Commerce fails to in
sist upon a statement from McCord, the
Chamber itself will be seriously compromised.

THE JEFFERSONIAN

She not only gave Simpson all she had, but
promised to give him more, if her hands and
knees held out, and enabled her to make more.
Poor old woman Who's to eloquently ex-
cite people in her behalf. when her poor old
hands, and her poor old knees give out?
Such items as the foregoing are printed in
the missionary magazines to unhinge the
minds, and open the purses of other enthu-
siasts.
Therefore, you will not be surprised at the
following report in the Voice:
"The Conference Board Of Missions of the
Holston Conference (Tennessee) is conducting
series of district institutes for preachers and lay
men, holding two institutes a week, beginning
November Ii and closing December 10. For
the year just closed this Conference reports an
increase of So, 900 for foreign missions and lit
tie less for HOME and Conference MISSIONS''

Hove DO You Like This Brand
OF Democracy?

IN the Z. S. Treasurers Report for Dec. 1,
1914, it is stated that the Government has
loaned the national bankers recently the sum
Of $270,00000O.
The interest rate is per cent
During the same period, the Cotton growers
pleaded for loan to hold .cotton.
The Democratic Administration refused it.
e The Government will not even lend us the
$200000,000 due us for the illegal Cotton tax,
levied Just after the Civil War.
The Government won't pay us what it owes
us, and it won't put us equality with
national bankers in borrowing money from
tie Government.
How do you like that sort Of Democracy?

THE efforts which The Jeffersonian has
made to extract information out Of II. I.
McCord have not been crowned with success.
[ find Henry tough customer. Evidently,
when he takes the studs he is not easily
moved
He does not often balk, but when he does,
he is what you might call 'sot"
During the recent political campaign-
which resulted in Democratic success in the
Soho South, (and nowhere else,) Henry lifted
up his voice on many OCCASIONS.
The daily papers were fairly full Of II. 7.

Not unless we voted for that Titan of in
tellect, influence and Civic Virtue, HoEo
Smith.
But if we voted for Smith, nothing could
keep the Government from letting us have
plenty Of new money, on easy terms, low IN
terest, and long time.
Then, armed with these dueats, we could
hold on to our cotton, and say to the Specu-
lators, ''Its your more"
But, alas, Uncle McAdoo gave all the new
money to the Wall Street banks
John Shelton Williams the Comptroller,
published the statement flat he had $780,,
100000 for us.
Either John kept it, Or somebody else got
it: the farmer did not get any.
The farmer never does pet anything but the
barney the soft-soap, the promises, the taxes,
and the glad handshake Of the fellow that
wants another vote.
According to the latest Treasury statement,
the national bankers are using more than
thousand million dollars of their due bills,
as money!; and we are only too glad to be
allowed to exchange our due bills-which are
not money-for the bankers due bills, which
are money.
Queer finance, isn't it?
But, as [ was saying H. Y. McCord, Ralph
Smith and James Watch Shotgun became IN

1t was reported in The Journal, that James
himself had bought lot of cotton at 10 cents

EucEN1c LAW INVALID.

Milwaukee Circuit Judge Holds State

milwaukee. Wis. Jan. 21.-The Wis
consin eugenic law regulating the issu-
ance of marriage licenses today was
held unconstitutional by Circuit Judge
F. c. Eschweiler.
Among other things the court says
the law, which provides for a physi-
clans certificate Of health. including
the wasserman test, is violattve Of the
rights secured by the constitution. and
that It conflicts with religious liberty
because 1t tends to halt marriages..
The court disagreed with the recent
ruling Of Attorney General Walter c.
Owen, who held that the law did not
require the Wasserman test.
'If the Wasserman test and others
are not applied" the court says. 1.-The
doctor giving the applicant clean bill
of health would place himself liable
to the law against perjury owing to
his false statements, and his license
would be subject to revocation"

Especial Correspondence


Washington, Jan. 21-Shaping Of the
trust program by Congress has been
awaiting the reading by President Will
son of his special message on this sub
ject. With the presentation Of the
message to congress Tuesday. formu-
lation Of the proposed legislation will
proceed rapidly.
Just as in the case OF tariff and cur
rency, the trust measures will be forced
through both houses by democratic
caucus action. Republicans and pro-
gressive party men will be allowed to
protest to such features of tho bills as
they object to. but the democratic
caucus Of the house and Of the senate
will decide on the way in which legis-
lation is to be fashioned. And the
president will in turn decide what the
caucuses of the two bodies are to do.
Practically. therefore, the president
will dictate the legislation on trusts as
thoroughly as he shaped the tariff and
currency bills.
To Be Hurried.
Under these circumstances. the in
dications are that trust legislation will
be enacted with considerable speed. In
the house, bills will be put through
under rule. The minority members
will be allowed to discuss the measures
in limited fashion but they Will be
crowded through in perfunctory fash
ion once the caucus has acted.

British Statesman Leaves Fortune

London. Jan. 21.-Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal. High Commissioner
for Canada, died at 1855 o'clock this
morning.
Lord Strathcona died peacefully in
sleep He had been practically
unconscious since 1880 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon
Lord Strathcona's death was due to
prostration. the result of severe at
tack of catarrh. He had been ailing,
however, ever since the death of his
wife, on Nov. ~ last which proved a
great shock to him
Lord Strathconas life spanned near

full three-quarters. THE best way to
live to an old age" he explained when
found at work at his desk in London
on his ninety third birthday, on Aug.
6, last "is by not thinking about age
at all but just going on doing your
work"
From his eighteenth year, when as
Donald Alexander Smith, sturdy Scot,
he sailed for Canada, to his ninety
fourth year. which would have been
completed next August, he lived up to
his maxim of work. For the past six
years he had been periodically reported
as about to resign the post of High
Commissioner for Canada, but 1t was
death and not his resignation which
terminated his work.
His first years in Canada were those
of an adventurous youth in what was
then a real wilderness. The Hudson
Bay Company, which controlled prac-
tically all of British North America,

After thirty years in the eastern
wilds he took what he called slight

and then accepted the offer Of leading
