ADDITIONAL LOCALS, THE GRIM REAPER'S HARVEST. —There is an old saw that ‘‘a green Christmas makes a fat graveyard,’ and while Christ- mas of 1907 was not entirely green it was so near it as to be considered in that sphere ; and the weather since has heen of the very best kind to fatten up the graveyard. As evidence of this fact the reader has only to peruse the obituary columns of the WATCH- MAN every week and no other proof will be needed. Daringfthe month of Janvary, including this issue of the paper there bave heen pub- lished in the columns of the WATCHMAN just sixty-eight obituary notices and of this na mber; the biggest percentage of deaths was {rom consnmption and pnenmonia, the two worst diseases in this climate ; and especially with such changeable weather as we have had this winter. And this is the strongest argument possible why every: body should be more directly interested in taking more care of their health than they generally are. It is such sudden obanges from warm to cold and cold to warmer weather that brings a long train of pneu- monia patients and renders life perilous for those affected with tuberculosis, and it is only with the very wisest of precantions and the best of care of onessell that these two dread diseases can be avoided. The death list this week is appalling, as the following will show : Lucas.—A very sudden death in How- ard last week was that of William T. Lu- cas, a member of one of the hest known families in that section. Mr. Lucas was a baker by occupation and was in good health.

We had bet: ter be wiped off the map as a country than to give “one inch” to these oppressors of the masses. We bave plenty of money; they need not tinker at the currency; let them ahout face and act honest and truthful to their constituents. There is hardly an ex- ception (some I believe are willing to do the best but are led »stray by their prejudice: es) but all legislation must be in the interest of the eapitalist. If they puss a ‘bill it is drawn so it can be kicked over. All this is only a “sop” to the voter. I read your editorial on the ‘two cent rate” decision; well, it is what I looked for; I was not disap: pointed. Why did you not give the public a history of the ‘‘Baid Eagle Valley R. R. Co?’ Isa two cent rate confiseation of it? What has made its stock so valuable? For the conveniences it gives us people here in the country to travel we might be carried for less than two cents per mile. In another letter I will give you some his tory about the treatment we country people | | | aw always pleased to read the WATCHMAN when it comes on Saturdays. I will say, as I bave said before, that I many times differ with you and I think you are too much of a partisan, but you are honest and sincere. In your editorial, “Just Where We Stand,” Ithink you use some expressions that are pot in order. For instance, I quote your words: ‘‘The WATCHMAN is for the man who has always and under all circumstances been a Democrat.” Well, my dear Demo- cratic friend, I bave always been a Republi- can, and do not believe “Teddy” bad any hand or part in bringing on this stagnation of business and scarcity of currency. Let me say here, the "American people’ are no longer putting their trust in these men that are “good Seventh day Christians.’ They have had enough of mock charity and hon- esty. This is » mora! panic. People want to know who is who. How did ‘that man accumulate so fast? What right have ‘‘com- mon carriers’ to engage in the same business that their customers are in? What right have officers of Trust companies and other monied institutions to speculate with the funds of the bank or trust? When were people worse robbed than they were by those New York Life Insurance companies? All this has been going on for years and now the people have called a halt. Now my dear Editor, I enclose a clipping from the Ameri. can Agrioulturist of January 27th, 1908. WHAT THE TARIFF MAKES POSSIBLE, Every little while there comes to our attention evidences of tariff protected trusts tolling Buods cheaper abroad than at home.

How true is this? Parties are out bunting live issues. This is one indeed. I want to hear from you through your paper. I bave always been a “Henry Carey’ protectionist. One very live issue is less ‘‘government by injunction.” Restrain the power of these U. 8. Courts. Compel corporations to respect “State Authority.” The “States” must not surrender one iota more than the powers named in our written instrument, the U. 8, Constitution. Another live issue is, we want you to come back to first principles and do away with this mock justice prevalent now. Send these rich and powerful law- breakers where you send the poor lawbreak- er. This two kinds of justice must stop or worse will surely come. The temperance men and the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation should turn all their energies toward saving the living principles of our free land. *Ezual justice to all, privileges to none,” This feeling, so I live in ease, I do not care what becomes of my neighbor, must be re placed by an entire change to the humane side.
