A Blister From Tom WatsonI

1

Remember the law provides that aJ

congressman shall br paid a salary of I

5000 per year and in order that the

compensation shall be equal among I

members the government pays their

traveling expenses Otherwise the

representative who comes from the

Pacific coast to the capital payinghis way would realize very much

less on his salary than a representa ¬

tivc from Maryland or Virginia-

The cost of travel was greater inthe olden days than now and thefree pass had not become one of thedevils favorite inventions Conse

quently the lawmakers declared

that the taxpayers should furnishtwenty cents per mile to meet theexpenses of the representative in go-

ing from his home to the post ofduty

Inasmuch as every member of con-

gress

¬

occasional cranks excepted-

now rides on free passes the mileage-

has become a considerable addition-

to the salary-A member who lives west of the

Mississippi will find his pay inereaseda sixth or a fifth according to the I

distance from the Atiantic seaboard I

while the delegate who comes fromi

Hawaii will pocket considerably more

than 2000 for the alleged cost of get¬

ting to WashingtonSo far good Everybody knows

that congressmen do not pay theirway and every body knows that mile-

age no longer has any honest founda i

tion but weve got used to the grab I

J

and we let it go as inevitable witha weary sigh of hopeless disgust-

But th congress which recentlyadjourned broke all previous recordsand gave the country a new chapterin the record of brazen dishonor

Previous to the meeting of the reg¬

ular session there had been an extra I

session This held on till the regularsession began There was no interval I

between the two So far as time wasconcerned the one ran into the otherHence no member went home from

the extra session and came back tothe regular session

There was absolutely no recessat allnot a minute between the onesession and the other

Now bebold the evil influence of abad example-

The president got the idea thatwhile there was no actual recess I

there was a constructive recessI

The Mephistopheles who whispered-this baleful advice in the ear of MrRoosevelt was a better frienfl to the I

appointees who wee to benefit by it I

Gen Wood and Dr Crum for exIample than they were to the presi-

dent The members of congress werenot slow to reason the case to thiseffect-

If there has been such a recess asto give Gen Wood a promotion inthe army and to Dr Crum a fat of-

fice

¬I

in the revenue service then ithas been a recess for all purposes-

If

I

the president can fill officesupon a supposed recess we can fill

our pockets with mileage upon thesame supposition

The whole thing being imaginary-that theory which puts Wood higher-up on the payroll and which puts anegro in the custom house at Charles-ton

¬

win also imagine that we wenthome during the supposed recess andthat we have just returned from Ala¬

bama Georgia Wisconsin Califor-nia

¬

and the state of Washington Its-a poor rule that wont work bothways

i<

The law clothes the president withthe power to make recess appoint-ments

¬

which rids him of the neces ¬

sity of consulting the senate In thisinstance he created a recess in hismind when none existed in fact andthe result was good for Wood andCrum

The imaginary recess having beencreated by the president the mem¬

bers of the lower house took an im-

aginary¬

trip home during the imagi-nary

¬

recess and then proposed thatthey be paid their imaginary expen-ses

hard cash-

Therefore sixtyodd republicansfortyodd democrats and two unionlabor men voted to give themselves

190000 of the peoples money to payfor imaginary journeys made during-an imaginary recess-

It is doubtful if a more shamelessattempt to steal from the publictreasury has ever been attempted-

The senate killed the measure notbecause the senate itself is so pureand honestfor it isntbut because-it could safely rebuke the housewhich it despisesand pose as watch-dog of the treasury without loss toitself

1

The people are entitled to know thenames of the rascals who tried tosteal 190000 of their money

Tennessee will not be shocked toknow that Slippery Jim Richard-son

¬

voted for the grabShe may be shockea to know that

Brownlowdid the same thingBrownlow the son of the famous parson

South Carolina may be astonished-to learn that on the roll of dishonorare the names of Aiken and Legare

Virginia will see that she has beenmisrepresented by the vote of Maynard

Louisiana will find three of hervotes on the shameful list Pujo andBroussard and Davey

The democracy of Missouri mayfeel indignant at the vote of Huntand Missiissppi at that of Hill-

s the list of names is printed else ¬

where it is not necessary to particu¬

larize further but I note one thingwith particular interest

The Masaehusetts congressman-who was selected by the enemies ofV R Hearst to attack him on the

floor of the house gave the country achance < o learn whd was the cleanerbetter man

Hearst did not vote fr the stealSullivan of Massachusetts did

The people of Georgia may wish toknow where Congressman Bartlett-was when the vote was being takenHis name is not recorded against thesteal Nor is that of Brantley orthat of Adamson

Where were theyThese three gentlemen are paid

15000 per year to stay in theirplaces and safeguard the rights of thepeople who elected them

Where were these three Georgianswhen this piece of rascality was be ¬

ing put through the house If theywere necessarily absent why did theynot arrange pairs and thus givetheir votes to defeat the robbers I

j Did they dodge-

If so why-

Alabama will want to know whereBankhead and Wiley were Texaswill ask explanations of StephensTennessee of Sims Kentucky of Hop-

Every man who voted for the mile-age

grab or who dodged the voteshould be marked for political punish ¬

ment by the constituency which hebetrayed-

An Unusual Proposition-If we were persuaded to undertake-

the great task of building a railwayfrom the mainland of Florida to theisland oi Key West we would askstate aid in the sum of at least fortythousand acres of land to the milebut the man who stands ready to finance this colossal pice of engineering-does not ask aid state to the amount-of a single penny in money nor anacre in land

i TOM WATSONS DEFENSE OF THE

SOUTH

Some fellows have been making afool of Mr Albert Bushnell Hart pro-

fessor¬

of history in Harvard Univer¬

sity and stuffed hint with all sorts ofyarns which he prints in the NewYork Independent-

This teacher of history in Harvardbelie es there are some people in thesouth who do not know that the waris over who still vote for AndrewJackson for president and who re ¬

fuse to send their children to schoolbecause they are taught that theworld is round and a whole Iptofchestnuts such as these which wereold when Methuseah was a kid

The serious part of Mr AlbertBushnell Harts article is in believeing that the whole paople of thesouth are in sympathy with Tilmanfor killing Gonzales and he holds thiswhole section responsible for it

To this part of the article TomWatson in his May Magazine makesthe following reply

James Tillman of South Carolinashot down in the street a mortal

political foe who had beyond allquestion given him great provoca ¬

tion-I do not say that James Tillman

was justified in his actI merely saythat he had provocation great piovocation

He was acquitted but be was notsent to congress-

He left the court room a brokenchastened man and is now leading alife of sobriety industry and recti-tude

¬

Xou many years ago on a Sundaymorning a saloonkeeper and his sonin the city ot Boston Mass beatdo vu a drunken man who had broken-a window pane of said saloon beathim down in the streets and kickedhim to death after he was down

Apparently the mans sole offense-was that he had broken a pane otglass and refused to pay for It

The a oon was open in violation of

lawTheglass was broken by a man too

drunk to know what he was doingAnd the two men of Boston fell up ¬

on the helpless drunken wretch andkicked him to death in the streets

> Was Massachusetts and all thenorth condemned for that

What became of the homicides-One received a nominal punish¬

ment which was not a real punish ¬

ment and the other boasts that hewas never punished at all

Where was the boast made-In the house of representatives of

the United Statesfor Boston Massactually sent to congress a man whohad helped to kick another man todeath in the streets

His name John A Sullivan Ibeg pardonit is

Marion County Wakes a ProtestThe board of county commissioners-

for this county made a formal protestMonday in opposition to the actio-nf the legislature in directing that allof the funds for the hire of the con-

victs¬

shall be appropriated as pen ¬

sion money to destitutue and disabledConfederate soldiers and widows on

I

the grounds that such action wouldbeex an post facto law in that it would I

be an impairment of a contract en ¬

tered into with the various counties-of the state and upon the good faith-

of which the counties have alreadymade up their annual budgets-

The board also made formal plans j

for submitting to the voters of thecounty the issue of bonds in the sumof 50000 for remodelling the COUrt

house The board altogether had amost interesting meeting-

Two Ocala BillsMr Sistrunks bill authorizing and

empowering the city of Ocala tomake assessments upon real estateand personal property within its cor ¬

MONEYMAKING AN ART

It is wonderfully strange how many-

of the worlds profoundest philos-

ophers

¬

thinkers writers and states ¬

men struggle along from day to daypursued by the demon of povertyandfinally shuffle off lifes coil little lessthan fugitives and paupers

Ancient and modern history paral-

lel

¬

the same truthsEnglands sweetest poets cleverest

actors and distinguished prose wri¬

ters led a dogs life dodging tailorsinnkeepers and bailiffs

Who can read for instance thelives of Goldsmith and Burns with ¬

out dropping a tear of pity over theirfinancial woes

And the lives of those two beauti-ful

¬

characters were no exception tothe rule of those who so gloriouslyenriched the literature of the Britishisles

Dr Samuel Johnson the dean ofEnglish letters was compelled forthe greater part of his life to live in-

a garret-In the United States unfortunately

the same story is largely trueThe struggle of Edgar Allen Poe

with poverty in its wildest form is acase in point and by no means anexceptional one

Vie ed from the practical and bus-

iness

¬

end of life the story of our greatmen of letters is one of pathos

Jefferson it will be remembered-had to depend upon a lottery scheme-to save his home from foreclosureMunroe had a hard struggle in keep-

ing¬

the gaunt wolf from the door anddied miserably poor Clay WebsterColquitt Hoar and many otherswho left brilliant reputations forstatesmanship found it impossible toep up the business end of life

Measured in dollars and cents thesemen left a legacy of unpaid bills butmeasured in blessings which belong-to the higher realms ot lifethey left atreasure house of riches more endur ¬

ing than gold or silverWith here and there an exception-

the men who hold the most conspic-uous

¬

places in the worlds historylived and died poor

Those who climb to the hegiht ofliterary and political fame in this ageor any age in this country or anycountry do not gather fame and for¬

tune from the same vines
