PAGE EIGHT

The big cities-vast parades of women and
children march the streets crying for a re-
duction in the price of food-mass- Something's
a few hours before the leaders in the foreign
relief work were exhibiting from $4,000 to
$4,000 dogs in Madison Square Garden, and
the cry of the women and children is: "Give
us Bread we are hungry!'
In some sections of our "at-peace- the
world" country there is as much suffering
among the poor right now as there is in Bel
GUM.
Some provisions-the plain necessaries-
selling in London today cheaper than they
are selling in our big cities-a meal can be
bought in London at one of the hotels or
restaurants for less than half the price that
the same meal can be bought at the same class
restaurant in New York City,
No wonder there is FESTIVE feeling in this
country-no wonder Impotence is about to
burst her bounds while our ''Rameses' in the
White House peacefully sleeps.
Our American ports are as securely
blockaded to American ships that wish to ply
their trade on the high seas as are those of
Germany or Austria, and "Rameses prefers
to prolong his nap rather than assert our
rights as a nation.
''Watchful waiting' for an covert" act has
become such a policy of cowardice that the

found him the most fearless advO-
cate of equal rights" by the way
Of exposing the system which threat
ems our God given and undeniable
rights transmitted to us by our il
lustrious fathers, and / firmly believe
his name as being among the first,
if not the foremost, and certainly
the most fearless, able and qualified
exponent of equal rights living, and
his name will doubtless be handed
down to posterity as those Of Wash
ington, Jefferson, and others who
served their country we'll.
| have watched the trend of the
movement as dominating America
by the allied force of Church and
State movements for upwards of
forty years, until it has grown to
such proportions that as many years
ago it was seen only by faith, it is
now coming, now more clearly seen
as the object which the movement
has and l clearly see now what the
outcome will be when the thing is
cOnsummated.
The great Church Federation I'M
der the leadership of clericals lobby
ing in Congress are doing the work
which the papacy are satisfied that
they should do (Until the time,
when the time comes, the papacy will
then assume the power itself, and
then it will be too late for the
church to see it's mistake.)

THE GREATEST VICTORY OF 1916

Dear. Sir: 1 read with much in
terest your editorial in this weeks
issue of the Jeffersonian on what
happened in the year 1916. Accord
ing to my opinion the greatest event
of the year was your acquittal at Au-
gusta, Ga.
The twelve honest jurors that
made the verdict in your case here
after should be called the Apostles
of Liberty, the verdict speaks ~
thunder tones that the Church and
State are separate institutions, PAT
RIOTS can still sound the alarm of
approaching danger and free speech,

press shall not perish from the
earth.
Wishing you and each employee Of
the Jeff's a merry Christmas and
happy and prosperous New Year,

"The 4tfl 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 a foreign power, I have carefully
prepared the above-named pamphlet.
The men who take that oath are traitors
ito 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-Gate rifles against
their fellow citizens.
This question of Popery is the most impor-
tant question now facing the people of
America.

yourselves. Priced ten cents.

ports, and they dare not leave because their
own government will not give them the pro-
lection our Flag is entitled to on the high seas,
nor give them the right to arm and protect
themselves from the German raiders.
American vessels that were loaded and
ready to sail, when Germany's ultimatum went
into effect, have actually unloaded their car
goes because their American owners lost all
patience IN trying to get some kind of as
surance or protection from the government to
which they had to depend on to protect THEN
property.
And while the American ports are
blockaded, our American freight yards, ware
houses, and cold storage plants are congested,
bursting, and packed with freight of all kinds,
provisions that the hungry, poor are begging
for and which the Food Trust will not let
them have at less than the exorbitant prices
now preballing.
It is condition that has never prevailed
in this country before-the Food Trust starry
ing us, and foreign power with which we
are supposed to be at peace blockading us.
How long would a Roosevelt tolerate such
conditions?
Congress has just appropriated 100000 to
investigate the food conditions, but what does
that amount to-what good will come from
it, pudging by the Investigations that have
been made In the past.
How long will it take the investigators to
learn the troube-what will they do but

TOM WATsON's CASE eETTLED.

Following the freeina of Tom
Watson by the jury, the Birmingham
Age-Herald printed one of the finest
cartoons on a free press we have
ever seen. This picture emphasized
the fact that the verdict in Watson's
case means that our free American
people are not in favor of the gov
eminent, postoffice or any other
power SO constituting laws as to pre-
vent newspapers and magazines from
giving their views frankly to the
public. If the Roman Catholic, or
any other church or political body,
has anything in it's constitution or
history that can not stand the light
of modern investigation and expo
sure by fearless editors, then they
had better change their constitution,
acknowledge the errors of their
fathers and adjust themselves for
better service.-Tuskege News.

guilty ones, and how long will it take TO or1ng
the guilty parties to justice after the prose
cution is begun?
In the meantime, what is to become of those
who are unable to pay the prices demanded
for what they must have to live on-how
much longer can those who are now crying
for bread live on empty stomachs?
1t looks very much like we might be slum-
bering too near the crater of volcano, and
unless President Wilson gets up enough cour-
age to do something, one way or the other,
there is no telling when the volcano will break
into eruption.

last, while she still was looking fol
it, she died. Then her daughter, Miss
Ruth Marble, who was then a young
girl and very energetic, though thai
seemed hard to believe now, began the
search. And Miss Ruth spent all OF
her youth and most Of her energy in
searching, and here she is now, forty
years old and looking fifty, with her
fortune as safely hidden as ever and
herself as poor as anybody could BE-

For Theodore Rodford-widely and
I am panied to add, somewhat un
favorably known as that Teddy Rod
ford"-the old oil house down on War
ble's wharf had a wonderful attrac
tion. He had peeped through the
chinks in the boards time and again
and what he had seen inside had made
him wildly eager to explore it thor
oughly, for strewn about the floor were
old harpoons and piles of delightful
ropes and big and little blocks and
oars. He was almost certain that he
could make out among the shadows
under the stairway leading to the sail
loft that was over the storehouse q

a bit of old sail.

Notwithstanding his excitement Ted
dy went at his work very judi
ciously. His plan was TO swing the
boat up by the tackles, hauling al
ternately at the bow and stern and
making each line fast to its Delaying
pin before he went at the other, until
she was free of the checks and high
enough above the floor for the trap
door to open, when, keeping a couple
of turns of the ropes around the be-
laying pins so that the boat would
not get away from him, to lower her
first at the bow and then at the stern
until he had her safe in the dock be-
low. This was a good plan, but it en-
countered serious difficulties in- exc
cutting it. The bow came up all right,
but for the life of him he could not
bulge the stern. This was discour-
aging, but Teddy vas a lad of expe-
dents and had not lived all his life
on the seashore without learning some
thing about rigging Phere were plenty
of blocks and ropes lying around, and
1t did not take him long to rig a snatch
block to q bolt and to the end of the
line he had been hauling on. With
this double purchase, by putting out all
his strength, he was able to raise the
boats stern.
1t was the queerest thing in the
world he thought, that the stern of
that boat should be so heavy. 1t

The House on
the Wharf
How a MischievOus Lad Made
an Important Discovery
By ROLLIN HUME

A bar had formed off Marbles
wharf, so that a whaler could not lie
at it or anywhere near it. But this
was not a matter of any special con-
sequence, for more than thirty years
had passed since a whaler and that
wharf had had anything to do with
each other.
It was a wharf in ruins, and almost
as badly dilapidated was the oil house
hat stood on the end of it, with great
doors that opened out over the water.
But these doors were never opened
now, MOI was the little sliding door
that shut down fairly into the water
and when 1t was raised opened a chan
mel into which a boat could be foated.
Both of these doors we're fastened on
the inside, and the door that opened on
the wharf was fastened with a paddock
as big as a small cabbage and as rusty
as If it had been towed astern of the
Harmony Home during a whole cruise.
The Harmony Home was the whaler
that used to discharge her cargo into
the oil house. She had been owned and

and for a long while she and her com
mander had the reputation Of being the
luckiest ship and the luckiest captain

This was all e well as long as
good luck attended the Harmony
Homes crossings, but when the news
came down from the northern seas That
the Harmony Home had been nipped
in the ice and had gone to the bottom
with every soul on board Of her the
captains financial methods did not
make quite SO satisfactory a showing,
for the captains widow had not the
least notion in the world where the
fortune in hard dollars that now was
hers was to be found. She looked In

the unlikely places she could think of
and she thought of a good many

seemed as though it were made of
solid iron. At last he got the boat
clear of the checks and got the line
made fast just in time to meet the
Jerk on it that came as the boat, now
hanging free by the falls from the
ridgepole of the roof, swung across
, nearly the whole width of the loft with
such a lunge that the ridgepole bent
and creaked and the whole framework
of the old oil house swayed as though
it were coming down.
Teddy was glad to take a good rest
at this stage of the proceedings, while
the boat swung backward and forward
like a great pendulum flashing through
the rays of sunlight.
BY the time that the boat had stop
ped swinging and hung steadily by the
falls just clear of the floor ne was pref
ty well rested and ready to go to work
again. To open the trapdoor be must

strength, stopping to rest and to puff
like a porpoise after each round, but

floor, and victory was almost within
his grasp.
1t was just as he had reached this al
most triumphant point in his labors and
had turned to make the rope fast to thu
Delaying pin while he opened the trap
coor-at this critical moment Miss
Ruth Marbles specialized face showed
at the top of the stairs, and Miss Ruth
Marbles sharp voice exclaimed:
"Why Teddy Rockford! What bad
ness are you doing here?'
Teddy jumped as if he had been shot.
The rope slipped from his hands and
whizzed through the blocks, and that
tremendously heavy stern of the boat
flashed downward through the sun
light. With a bang and a crash of
splintering wood it struck a beam with
such force that the old oil house sway.
ed and trembled and seemed in a fair
way to fall to pieces there and then.
With this banging and crashing was
also a most curious jingling sound, and
very astonishing was its cause. As the
stern of the boat struck the beam the
stern sheets were broken all to pieces,
and out of the stern locker poured a
stream of gold and silver coins which
jingled as they fell and which blazed
and glittered as the sunbeams touched
them while they went rolling every
which way over the floor.
In the silence which followed this
outburst of noise Miss Ruth Marble
and Teddy Rodford just stood and
stared at each other across more sill
yer and gold and five dollar pieces and
ten dollar pieces and even twenty dol
lar pieces than either of them ever had
seen anywhere and certainly more than
they ever were likely to see again
loose on the floor of a sail loft.
And so the lost fortune that Captain
Tranquil Marble had hidden in this
queer place before he sailed away in
the Harmony Home to his death in the
northern seas was found at last.
