DR.. A. E. Reese, Candidate for
State School Superintendent.

THE almost universal dissatisfaction with
l. the Public School situation in Georgia
has created the demand for an opponent to
M. L. Britain.
The candidacy of DR.. Alex. E. Reese is
announced, and his platform will be pub
lished next week.
Graduating from Mercer University with
the First Honor, in 1874, DR.. Reese devoted
himself for years to school-teaching, having
been Principal of some of the best Academies
in Georgia.
More recently, he hos been engaged in
travelling for the Masonic Annuity which he
built up from small beginnings
Or. Reese lives at 50 Capitol Avenue, At
lanta, and will manage his campaign from
there.
We need change in our Public Schools,
and we will never get it under Britain h. -

THE .JEFFERSONIAN

John Hays Hammond, for Wilson. for the
Papa, and for those blood thirsty conspirators
who have engineered this colossal crime
against weak neighbour
And venture to make one prophecy: this
war with Mexico won't be another military
promenade, like that of 1847-8.
just as the maniacal Kaiser found new
France, and not another Sedan, so our man
lacal mllitarists will find new Mexico, and
not another Buena Vista.
Enthusiasm for especially where the
enemy is weak-is always easy to arouse; and
the melancholy record of nations show that
wars often have no excuse, save the
tom Of home f0lhs from home conditions.
Socialism was growing too strong for
Popes and Kaisers; hence the Armageddon
in Europe: Socialism and Anti-Romanism
were growing too strong in this country for
Catholics and Capitalists: hence the war
against Mexico.
Let those who have drawn the sword take
heed, lest they perish by the sword.
Armies are not always the best aids to po-
litical ambition and President Wilson may
fail, as James K. Polk did, to reach second
term by that INSCRIPTIONS and bloody route.
Those negro troops provoked the fight at
Paral, and they provoked the fight at Car
rial. When the American scout, Lem III.
Splllsburg, implored them not to advance on
Carrizal, after General Gomez had qcarned
them to heep out of the toaom, the negroes
ignored Spillsbury, shot down Gomez, and
then got cleaned out. They got exactly what
was coming to Them and we ought not to be
dragged into long, bloody war on account
of those black brutes.
So eager is President Wilson for war on
a weak neighbor that he viozates the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, by calling State
militia into the field not to quell instruction
or to enforce law, but to act necessary part
in the invasion of an independent country.
In other words the President has violated
his oath of office and is legally subject to i'm
parchment.
Congress cannot validate the Presidents
violation of the Constitution; the People
could do so, by an Amendment to the supreme
law, but it cannot be legally done, in any
other way.
And those jubilant governors are preparing
to send State troops out of their States, and
not to repel invasion, or suppress Instruction,
are themselves violating the highest laws of
the land
Even during the stress of our Civil War,
the Governor of Georgia-Joseph E. Brown
refused to honor President Davis' call for the
State mMlitia;' and Governor Brown was act
ing in accordance with the law

and when one laid down to sleep, the other
turned in, too. This concert of action was
not only habit, but a necessity.
Why? Because there was q EqataIre. which
issued from the vitals of the one to the vitals
of the other.
Separate, they were always together.
Zao0, they were as one.
In body apart, they were united in mind
and heart and purpose.
They ate at the same table, off the same
food: they slept in the same bed, and rose at
the same time. In going to the lavatory and
other places, both had to travel, when either
did.
Each took a wife and had children,-but
that's enough about themo
In looking over the wildly enthusiastic pro-
ceedlngs of the recent old-party Conventions,
L couldn't help but recognize their striking
resemblance to the Siamese Twins, Chang and
Eng.
In Chicago, there was Chang, accom-
panied by Force-bill Lodge, Insurance
swindle Depew, Dough-bag Penrose, Nor
mon-elder Smoot, Murphey- partner William
Barnes, and that unauthorized product Of
bought votes, Old Joe Cannon.
A completer collection Of political fossils
and crooks never convened, nor, having con-
vened, did with more thoroughness the work
of an inseparable Twin, securely ligatured.
A collection as complete, but not more so,
was that which accompanied Eng to st.
Louis.
Was the Barnes partner Murphey there?
He was! Did Boss Sullivan come? He did.
Was Gumshoe Bill Stone present? You bet
Where was Tom Taggart, the man of the
French Licks gambling hell? Tom was right
there.
Did Son-in-law McAdoo arrive? Yayr.
Did Josephine Daniels show up? Yayr.
Did other Cabinet junk get in? Yayr.
But was Bryan on hand? O Lord of
course he was. Did he make speech? O
Heavens, of course he did
Was the Princeton Professor unanimously
re- nominated, amid the most frantic ecstacy?
Yayr!!
Was it ditto, as to Little Tom Marshall?
Yayr!!!
Thus it came to pass that Eng kept step
with Chang, because of the hgature which
won't allow them to separate.
The ligature reaches into the vitals of each
into the sources of Campaign dough, Cor
poration secrets, Money Trust policies, Rail
road privileges, Manufacturing Trusts, and
Big Business generally.
Served by the Twins, the Railroads cleared
one thousand million dollars, during the last
year.
Served by the Twins, the Steel Trust alone,
cleared as large sum.
Served by the Twins, the rich who deposit
in the National banks, have fourteen billion
dollars therein credit on the books, I sup
pose, since there is not that much money in the
world
Served by the Twins, what have the COM
mon people got?
What have the workers and producers got?
They create the wealth, all Of 1t, but what

Which One of These Public Men
Told the Truth?

WHEN it became known that the Wilson
administration had gone into the
Insurance Business, IN order that Cotton Spec
uzators could escape the high rates of the
p7a00te corporations, I naturally became
curious to learn how much insurance the Gov
eminent placed on those $50 bales
Especially was my interest aroused when,I
saw, by the Northern papers, that two ships
had sunk, and that the Government had paid
the gamblers for the cotton which was lost.
After considerable pegging away at Son
1n-law McAdoOs department, l got the fol-
lowing letter, which, as you may readily sup
pose, made me quite bilious:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Washington, ID. G.
March 16, 1915.
Mr.. Thomas E. Watson,
Editor, Jeffersonian Publishing Company,
Thomson, Ga.
Sir: I have your letter of March 18th and in
reply will say that have insured cotton at
many different prices, and it is quite impossible
to give you any average or make any estimate Of
what our average price per pound has been.
We insured the "Carib' and the Evelyn hulIs
and cargoes for total of $659,1O3 On the
Evelyn" the amount per bale was $40, and ON the
"Carib the amount averages about 1921 per
bale. The hull Of the Evelyn" was insured for
100000 and the hull of the "Carib' for 1922
By direction of the Secretary,
......- Respectfully,
A. j. PETERS.
Assistant Secretary.
Brother Peters makes it perfectly clear that
the Government more than doubled the valu-
alton of the cotton, after the producer had
been forced to sell it for $780,
Nevertheless, Senator Hoke Smith writes
to gentleman at Triton, Georgia. under
date of May 80, 1916, saying that the Triton
gentleman is "utterZy noistahen", in supposing
that the Government paid the spectators $40.

DRIFT TOWARD WILSON.

WASHINGTON-Like many in
dependent newspapers in the east,
the Washington Post acknowledges
the overwhelming drift of public
sentiment to Prest Wilson. 1t says
today editorially:
When Ohio gives signs of going
to Wilson by a heavy plurality. it is
not surprising that the republicans
are worried.
When New York waivers in its
support Of its own son and every es-
innate comedies that Wilson is gain
ing, there is good reason for the re-
publican leaders to redouble their
18th hour activities.
When Illinois, Wisconsin. Indi-
ana, Connecticut, West Virginia. New
Jersey, and Montana are giving more
comfort TO the democrats than TO
the republicans, and when Arizona.
Colorado. Missouri, Nebraska and
Nevada are practically fixed in the
Wilson column, the trepidation Of
Mr.. Hughes managers can be well
understood. The history of previous
elections does not disclose any case
in which the last week of a cam
paign upset all that has gone be-
fore, or even materially altered the
trend Of public opinion.
The palpable drift toward Mr.
Wilson is the Outstanding feature Of
the late campaign"

SAYS HUGHES AT BEST
Is BUT "H0PE IN A FOG"

NEW YORK. Nov. Samuel
Hopkins Adams. the we'll known
author. has declared himself for
Pres't Wilson, after waiting in vain
for Mr.. Hughes 10 answer the ques-
tions which Mr.. Adams and IS other
famous authors put to the republican
candidate early in the campaign. He
does this on the ground that there
is nothing positive in the Hughes
campaign and that the republican
candidate. at the best represents "a
hope in a fog. He says:
The democratic campaign is
built upon Pres't Wilson. The re-
publican campaign is built upon
Pres't Wilson. Mr.. Hughes hardly
figures in either. There is no basis
upon which 10 figure him. Pres't
Wilson represents achievement. One
may agree or disagree with Pres't
Wilson. Everyone knows where ne
stands. One can hardly agree or dis
agree with Mr.. Hughes Nobody
knows where he stands. He afford.
no basis for support or opposition
except as he processes TO disagree
with the Wilson policies and urges
the voter 10 agree with him in his
disagreement. In this case two mega
tives do not make a positive. There
is nothing positive in the Hughes
campaign. 1t is destructive, not con-
structive
Therefore as an independent
voter shall vote for Prest Wilson
because I wish TO vote
Positively. not negatively:
Constructively. not destructivelv.
In the light. not in the dark;
For a confidence. not for a hope.

A PROFESSION.

(TrentOn, y. j. Gazette
In his address recently before the
National Farm schoC,, near Phil
adelphia, former Pres't Taft took
occasion to urge the necessity Of
more of our population turning to
the cultivation of the soil.
He brought out one phase of the
case which is too often overlooked,
by even those who have a desire for
farming. namely, that il is not a
tusiness which may be conducted in
any nit or miss fashion. but, on the
contrary, one that requires much
study. much accurate knowledge Of
a scientific nature, and as much de-
votion OF time and attention as is
required in any other calling when
success is TO be won. In other
words, farming is a profession and
deserves 70 be listed among the
skilled professions.
The words come at this time with
an appropriate fitness in view of the
fact that through the east where
industries are humming. there has
been such a rush of laborers to
shops and factories that the dearth
of farm help has become serious.
In many quarters they are not to
be had at any price. II is evident
that our agriculture is not well or
ganized. yet it is a thing upon
which the prosperity OF the coun-
Try depends fundamentally.
Any admOnitions which tend to
lie
tional prosperity and cOntentment.

OHIO SAFELY DEMOCRATIC

NEW YORK-Ohio is safely dem

ceived by the Woodrow Wilson Ma
tiOnal Electrical club. Predictions as
TO Wilson's majority run from Is
600 TO 100000. Ohio has the larg-
est state membership in this organ
ization and is daily increasing its
representation.
The Wilson Electrical club though
organized but two months ago. has
a membership OF 1000 divided

An effective argument with vot-
ers in the electrical industry has
been the support given Pres't Will
son by Thomas A. Edison. The in
ventOr's picturesque phrase that
Wilson foresight is safer than
Hughes hindsight," has influenced
many. judging from the thousands

was plainly evident to overcome. 1t
was plainly evident that from the
highest 10 the lowest everyone was
actuated by a sincere and earnest
desire TO make things 60" There
was no suggestion of distrust and
suspicion. Employer and employe
alike were actuated by one aim-to
make the business of which they
are all a component part as great a
success as possible. And the re-
ward for success is quite as avail
able to the lowest man in the scale
as 10 the head of the firm. This is
the philosophy of capital
izing human interest and endeavor.
And it is a lesson the value of which

ployer in the United States. II will

and contentment as well as in fl

DISEASE Is A DISGRACE.


The discovery OF the Houston
foundation that laziness is a dis
ease and not disgrace" is Ger
tainly something new under the
sun. Just at this time the whole
world is awakening to the fact that
disease is the most disgraceful thing
III life. 1t is the one thing that man
is entirely responsible for and in
whose i'll effects all humanity shares.
If the human family would live
decent, wholesome lives as the
maker planned them 10 do. and take
the care Of the body that common
sense dictates, there would be no
disease. 1t was intended that all
should die Of old age-nOt Of mala-
ria and typhoid and whOOpiRg cough
and scarlet fever and autO-acci-
dents and tuberculosis.
Disease, whatever the name By
which il is known, is evidence that
the laws Of right living have been
violated, and surely the violation OF
these laws is one Of the most dis
graceful things that man can be
guilty of.
To see that the people Of Houston
do obey these laws Of health Is the
main purpose Of the Houston
foundation. And when it shall sue
coed in that the expenditure Of the
peoples money in its support will be
justified.

IF Sound Business
is to Prosper We
Need Pres't Wilson .

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-w. o.
Thompson, secretary of one of the
biggest industrial corporations in
New \ Ork, is out for Pres't Wilson
in a statement made public today.
Mr.. Thompson is arbitrator be-
tween the employees and Hart,
Schaffner x Marx. clothing manu-
facturers, and was one of three arbi-
traitors, with Justice Louis ID.
Brandeis and Hamilton Holt. under
the protocol governing relations be-
tween manufacturers and employees
in the garment trades of New York
city. Mr.. Thompson said:
III sound business is to prosper,
not only in this country but in the
field of world business, and if we
are to do our part ins the general
healing of the wounds of the great
war. then Wilson's policies must be
continued.
"Pres't Wilson's handling Of our
affairs has entitled him to the graft
tude of the country.
He has had the unusual broad
mindedness to see and appreciate the
problems and conditions of all sec
tons of the country. He has been
alive TO the interests of legitimate
business as he has been 10 the legit-
innate aspirations OF labor. He has
been aware Of the rightful claims
of the farmer as ne has been of the
rightful claims of the railways. In no
field has he taken d dogmatic and
oppressive stand, but everywhere he
has sought constructive, forward
things.
We know that under the most
trying conditions the world has ever
seen, this country is now more genu-
inely prosperous, clearer minded. and
more officially alive than ever be-
fore within the memory of man.
This country. by reason of the pecu-
liar quality of Wilson's administra-
ton is preparing itself 10 render the
greatest service 10 mankind as a
whole that a neutral nation has ever
been able to render in a great world
struggle.
"Pres't Wilson has never changed
a policy except on occasions where
conditions justified his action. He
has been big enough 10 change as
conditions necessitated change. From
this standpoint alone, he has been
Of inca lculable service to every in
terest of the country-including
business. which has been especially
benefited because of this policy"
