our notes which are now coming due,
that we will turn over cotton in
merchantable order at 10 cents per

Resolved, that if their magnani-

then we will urge on every one to
pay up their guano notes with cot

Resolved, that unless our fertili-

proposition we cannot and will not

afford to sell the cotton.

Dear Sir: The Knights of Column

l have been informed by reliable
authority that such papers as the
Menace, Peril and the Jeffersonian
are being delayed in their delivery
in this city. | am also informed that
the news dealers are also late in re-
ceiving such papers each week as
named above.
OF course, this does not mean very
much, but it means that the street
preacher affair in this city, has not
been forgotten by certain cVrOWd.
Another illustration, wish to give
you is that some of the "plutes"

SENATOR WEST EXPLAINS HIS
VOTE.
Editor Jeffersonian.

Editor Jeffersonian.
l see in the issue of The Jeffer-
sonian under date of the oath inst.
an article criticising the vote | cast
against the Overman amendment to
the currency bill providing a uniform
rate of six per cent per annum on
the emergency currency intended for
the farmers Of the South. In the
first place, I still adhere to the
principle Of the States exerc sing
some of her reserved rights under
the Constitution.
In the next place, if this rate had
been put in the bill, the banks of
the State Of Georgia would decline
to use the money rendered them un-
der this emergency currency bill,
for the reason that they have put
out their money at eight per cent
per annum, the legal rate when
named in the note. I will say for
the benefit of Mr.. o. M. Duke, who
took me to task about this matter,
that the legal rate of interest in
North Carolina is six per cent per
annum, and, no doubt, the banks of
that State would have awaited them
selves of the currency under the act
in question.
Respectfully,
Wash. D. c.. w. S. WEST.

TERRIBLY DANGEROUS SYSTEM
GROWING UP AMONG US.

Dear Sir: 1t looks to me that a
Nation as wise and enlightened as
the United States claims to be, would
take judicial notice that it is har-
boring a system strange and danger
Gus. That it ought not to suffer for
eigners to dictate laws to her, or to
Interfere with her domestic concerns,
or to tamely permit a foreigner to
dispose Of posts, emplOyments, Off
ces, of importance to other foreign
ers, to the detriment Of our dignity,
peace and happiness, and in violation
of the Nations rights.
My dear Bro. Watson: 1t seems
like system strange and dangerous
that suffers a great number of do
nestle officials to depend upon a for
ejgn prince for their positions, and
to be entirely devoted to him 1t
system that would ELEVATE it's own
adherents from Cod, country, and
duty, to further it's own existence,
does it not?
1t seems like a strange and dan
gerous system that would disconnect
man from family ties, from all do
nestle interests and place his hopes,
hopes Of refuge in a secret order
thousands of miles away, across the
deep blue sea.
It seems like a system strange
and dangerous that would desire a
militia spread over the face of the
earth to support and advance the in
terests of perpetual foreign mon
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-10-01

archy antagonistic to all the best in
terests Of any local people. Don't
you think so Bro. Watson?
1t seems like system strange and
dangerous that denies the citizenship
Of the State and Nation the right to
manage it's own affairs, and asserts
its unholy rights to regulate the
domestic realm Of sensible people,
already humiliEted beyond measure
by serpentin4 Vaccinations that
break up their homes, obliging new
ly married husbands to purchase per-
mission to lie with their wives the
first three nights after marriage.
Male Virgins, devoting themselves to
lives of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to an
idle life, thinking they are pursuing
the path to heaven. Bro. Watson it
seems like a system strange and
dangerous, that robs God Of souls,
men of money, and women Of their
children, and children of their right
to life, liberty and pursuit Of happi-
ness in this land OF the free and
home Of the brave.
Yours for an understanding,
Ark. f. ERNEST TUGGLE.

HOW THE ITALIAN POPE PER-
SECUTFS- AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Dear Sir: You will notice the
word confidential" on the other
sheet. Now l will tell you why [
put it there. A young man here in
Pittsburg had a very good job, $35
a week, but he was persistent
worker for the Menace" His boss
is a great chum of one of the big
Catholics. A priest goes to this big
Roman Catholic one days and tells
him to go to this business man and
tell him he has in his employ a young
man who is taking subscriptions for
the Menace, and doing all he can
against our holy religion, and now
if he wants the Catholic trade, he
will have to get rid of this young
man, so the young man is told that
the Catholic trade is worth more to
the house than his services, SO he is
walking the streets today looking for
work.
You see [ am in about the same
position as this young man. l have
a position in a place where many
Catholics trade, and if they should
dig me out Of the position | might
have to go a long ways before get
ting another. SO you will know
what I mean by "confidentiaP' on
the other sheet

ton, after organizing by
regular election of a chair
man and secretary, the meeting re-
solved itself into a discussion as to
how and where these people could
get the means (money) to pay their
fertilizer notes for this season.
After discussion a move was made
and unanimously carried that COM
mittee be appointed by the chair to
draft a set of resolutions for some
regular action by the body. The said
committee reported as follows:
Whereas, our people are face to
face with the most critical, and the
most terrible problem which has eX-
listed in the past 40 or so years, or
since the great Civil War of the Six
ties.
Whereas, on account of the most
terrible conflict of arms which has
enveloped most all Europe, the man
ufacturer of cotton and the markets
for cotton have been closed down,
and
Whereas, conditions have caught
the cotton producer with the most
costly crop of cotton on hand which
has ever been produced in the South;
and
Whereas, the great masses of our
people were induced to believe in,
and have faith in what was termed
"a Great Democratic Administra-
ton at Washington, D. c." and in
the promises of the Great Spokes-
man for said Administration from
Georgia. that our Great Demo-
cratic Goliath from Georgia had
measure of law, which when put
through our great Democratic Con-
gress," and that said law would pro-
vide emergency currency to enable
tho cotton farmers to finance his
great and valuable cotton CROP" and
Whereas, We the cotton producers
for the world are now told, and
given to understand that this"
great Democratic measure or law,
was, and is intended to be given en-
tirely over to the most gigantic mon
ely trust that has ever existed in any
civilized government on earth. Ten
thousand million dollars of our mon
ey turned over to spectators, and
Whereas, this same Democratic
Administration through it's Congress
and Senate has voted millions of
dollars to tide over the great silver
miners trust. 1t has voted away
millions of dollars of our gold out
of our u. S. Treasury to finance
American grandees out Of the war
zone Of Europe. It has continued to
finance the most gigantic Whiskey
trust known in the history of ma
tons. Il has re-established and per-
petuated the greatest, most concen-
trated money monopoly on the earth
today. But it has utterly failed and
refused to give or appropriate one
dollar to the people who clothe and
feed the world.
Whereas, we, the people, are left
to the mercy of great money trust,
with no market for our great staple
cotton, the only means by which,
and through which we can possibly
pay our debts and feed and clothe
our families, and
Whereas, we are thrown out upon
our own resurces.
Therefore be it resolved, by a uni
ted vote of this convention, that we
will appear to our great and mag
unanimous fertilizer nufaCturers,
who have helped us to produce the
greatest money crop on earth for
years past. We desire to be fair
and to pay our gnanO notes, and will
do so, by your aid. 1T is therefore
declared by unanimous vote of this

GRAVEL BAR OUT OF REACH.
Machinery Necessary to Procure
Gravel From Marion Side.

The county commissioners ana
Roadmaster Finn are at loss to
know how to economically get gravel
from the bar purchased across the
Willamette river from Eola about a
year ago. Judge Teal, at the time ne
gotiations for the purchase was con-
summated, was not very favorably
impressed with the outlook for getting
this road material from the Marion
county side, but nevertheless ten acres
were bought for 81 900. which figure is
reasonable provided the gravel were
accessible. Mr.. Finn has just made
an investigation of existing condi
tions there, and says the only feasible
scheme for securing the gravel for
Polk roads is to employ two donkey
engines. two "clam shells" and
scow. This would entail a consider
able outlay. While Mr.. Finn cannot
see his way clear to procure the
gravel at this time, he expresses the
opinion that the investment is good
one for the future. In the meantime
he suggests that the tract be planted
to soy beans.

PROMOTING THE CHAUTAUQUA
Mass Meeting of Citizens Held at
Armory Sunday Night.

Ernest j. Sias, chautauqua lee
turer of some prominence, he having
delivered over 1000 addresses on the
chautauqua platform, appeared before
600 people at the Armory Sunday
night in behalf of the entertainment
which opens in Dallas on Saturday.
1t was a union meeting of the Dallas
churches. These institutions, having
great faith in the good work that is
being accomplished through this me-
dium, considered it meet to assist in
its promotion. Mr.. Sias not only con-
vincingly presented the economic, soc
ial and educational side of the chau-
tauqua, but showed its financial bene-
fits to community. His remarks
were illustrated with forceful word
pictures, and entertaining stories, all
tending to prove that Dallas is making
no mistake in its endeavor to make
the chautauqua a permanent institu-
ton here.
During the meeting Mrs. Warren of
McMinnville, and Mr.. Frank Synder,
daughter and son of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. V. R. Snyder of this city, enter
tanned with solos, as did also a male
quartet composed of Messrs Snyder,
Miles, Miller and Sibley. The speak
er of the evening was introduced by
Prof. Metzger.

MAKES TWO APPOINTMENTS.
State Forester Elliott Names Dallas
Man for Inspector.

On Saturday last State Forester
Elliott appointed two inspectors, w.
V. Fuller of Dallas, and Geo. w.
Peavey, of Corvallis. This is a new
office in the state forestry department,
the duties of the inspector being to
supervise the work of the supervising
wardens, wardens and patrolmen, and
by getting in touch with the work to
make where necessary, such recon-
mendations to the forestry board as
they deem advisable.
Mr.. Fuller has been in the service
during the past month, but the official
appointment was not made until Sat
urdav. The salary of the inspector
will be $3.50 month and, according
to Mr.. Elliott, this will come out of
the appropriations for the department.
The two men will be on duty until
October |. Mr.. Fuller, who is an ex-
pert timbeman, will have the terri
tory north of Lane county and west
of the Cascades, and Mr.. Peavey, who
is dean of the school of forestry at o.
A. c., will have Lane county and the
territory south of that and west of
the Cascades.
