counties were receiving interest upon

SsThe Atfa Degree Oath of the
knights OF Columbus

TO meet the bluff and the falsehoods of
those Americans who have foresworn
loyal principles, and have become oath-bound
subjects of foreign power, have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
to our government, and spies in our camp.
They are armed and drilled, as military
men, and kept in readiness to use their steel
swords, and their up-to-date rifles against
their fellow citizens.
Get my pamphlet, and study the facts for
yourselves. Priced ten cents.
This question of Popery is the most imports

THOMSON, GA, JANUARY T, 1915.
Some New Year Suggestions.

K EEP it before you, that the difference in
principle between such a Government as
yours and that of Russia for instance, is,
that in Russia. the people are not permitted
to do anything for themselves, whereas you
are supposed to make your own laws, choose
your own rulers, and thus do everything for
Yourself
The motto of the absolute Gar, Kaiser, or
King is, "Everything for the people, but
nothing By the people"
If that motto were lived up to, the govern
nlent would be benevolent despotism.
The people would be in the condition of
little children ruled by wise parent.
But the trouble with that sort of govern
ment is, that while the ruler wants the peo-
pie to act like good, obedient children, he
most in generally" acts like mighty hard
step-father.
IN your form of government, the people do
everything for themselves, and, having no
bosses who are born to rule, the people have
to elect the bosses.
Likewise, the people must make the laws
which they themselves obey.
The statesmen who thought out this plan
of government and the soldiers who fought
for it, believed that the people would never
choose such evil rulers that the land would
mourn.
The sages who dreamed of our form of
government never believed you would make
such I'M Just laws for yourselves that you
would rain yourself by y0ur 0lcn legislative
acts.
Right there is where the wise men made
their mistake. Right there is where your
system of government has failed.
You haOe ruined yourselves by your own
legislative acts.
1t is true that you did not 90 in person to
the legislature and to Congress; but you went
there, in the eye Of the law, when you elected
the representative echo ser0cd as your sub
stitute.
Did you pledge that man to any definite
course of action before you agreed to vote for
him?
Did you take the trouble to instruct A5nag

THE eJEFFER SONIAN

would be the chief victim of this proAigate
extravaganza you agreed that the Govern
ment should not get one dollar of taxation
out of the Railroads, not one dollar out OF
the Telegraphs and telephones. not one dollar
out of the Express Companies, and not one
dollar out of the national banks
Under the decisions of the courts, the cor
porations chargee up their taxes to operating
expenses, and they levy rates high enough
on the public to compel the people to not
only pay the corporation taxes, but to pay
reasonable profits on stocks and bonds, no
matter how much fictitious capitalization
there may be.
The long and the short of it is, that the
prodigious expenses of our national Govern
ment are zevied on q0zat the common people
haze TO 6uy.
Therefore,, the three millions q dag, comes
in the shape of higher prices paid By the
common people for those things that they
must buy in order to work, to labor, to farm,
to keep house, and to clothe themselves
Ten dollars apiece for every man, qcon20aA
and child, in this Union Of separate, soye-
reign, self governing States! !!
No tyraat ever laid such cruel burdens of
t0aati0n on eng people, AS YOU HIVE
PLACED ON YOURSELVES.
No despot ever more unjustly legislated in
favor Of the Rich against the Poor, than yow
hare done!
No absolute Gar, Kaiser. or King ever
framed a more diabolical Money Law than
you have put upon your own country, upon
yourselves, and upon your posterity
You have done 1t, by voting for candidates
whose only claim on you was, that they were
Democrats or Republicans
The privileged few who wanted to rule and
rob, under the legal protection Of Acts Of
Congress, or Acts of the legislature have
used both these great political parties as
teamster uses two teams
When one had pulled the load of Special
Privilege as far as it could, the other team
was hitched in.
The offices fodder the team; and the politi-
clans compete for the fodder.
But the freight which the teams alternately
pull is Glass Legislation.
What you have done, you can undo. The
evil is not beyond remedy. 1t IS mevor too
late to mend.
Greet the New Year with determination
to turn over new leaf to this effect:
Attend to your public business, just as
closely as you do your private business
Remember that the men you put in office
are your agents, and that they can ruin YOU.
if you don't watch them, and change them.
when they go wrong.

you put HIM IN the legislature or IN Con-
gress?
Did you condemn him for breach of trust
when he voted against your interests?
How many times have you supported some
candidate, not because you considered him
honest and capable, but because some man
that you hated was against him?
How often have you opposed a candidate
whom you knew to be honest and competent,
but whom you personally disliked?
You'd have a'poor opinion of your neigh
bor If he lost a crop by refusing to hire
splendid plow-hand whom he did not like,
personally
You'd have mighty hard opinion of your
nelghbor, it he lost sick member of his
family by refusing to call in a splendid doc
tor with whom he was at outs.
But in politics are goa not continually
cutting off y0Ur nose to spite y0ur face?
Honor bright don't you frequently work
harder to defeat a candidate, because hated
nelghbor supports him, than because you
think him unfit?
When you defeat this candidate, and elect
that one, don't you crow over some neighbour
who was on the other side. more than you
crooo 00er the Defeated candidate?
Yes, you do and in this way elections too
often partake of the bad features Of law
case where the trial is too much like battle
U6CWSeu Ine DIG guns OF the par.
What is the consequence of your losing
sight Of principle, in elections?
What are the results of your being swayed
by prejudice, personal feeling, or by indifz
ference?
The fatal fruits Of your failure to elect the
right sort of men to do your public work is,
that YOup representatives haze made lars that
hare ruined y0u.
Why are SO many merchants closing up?
Why are SO many strong, willing hands
unable to find work? Why are 50 many peo-
pie crushed by debt? Why are there SO many
bread-ines, soup-kitchens beggars, thieves
suicides?
Almost entirely, the terrible situation is
due to the bad laws made by the men you put
in office.
Is it any comfort to your troubled mind. as
you think over your debts and your gloomy
prospects, that you have always voted the
Democratic ticket?
Is it any satisfaction to you, as the sheriff
sells your stuff, that you have been life
long Republican?
AS you close your store, or abandon your
farm, is it a solace to reflect that you have
always voted for the man who was the best
hand-shaker, the glibbest tallzer, the man who
could remember your name, who sent you
ticket of invitation to the gallery of Con-
SICSS, anu VINO favored you WIN copies or
virtuous speeches which were made to cloak
rotten votes?
Yes, you have been good Democrat, or
good Republican; but you have not been a
good self-ruler. self-governor, Legislator
You have not made good laws, nor chosen
good rulers: hence, you have failed to prove
what our forefathers believed you would be,
