No Suctcss Without Organization
Danger In Personal Leadership.
Editor Independent: In this week's
correspondence to The Independent Mr.
"V . . Ml . . .
ue jTance says, wun so many maga
zines stirring . the troubled watere, it
looks as though there would be some
surprising- things happen when they
begin to settle and clarify." And ob
servation teaches,- that as creators of
public sentiment and thought, there is
no force in modern systems of society
of more potent influence than the
public press, i. e., newspapers, period
icals, etc. But granting their most
wonderful accomplishment for arous
ing inspiration or an intense emotion
among the people, you will no doubt
concede, that intense public emotional
sentiment and thought, in reality is
often a condition precedent of danger
and hazard to the community; unless
the action which such sentiment and
thought inspire, is made to conform
to some system and method of control,
whereby is removed not just tempo
rarily the-cause o2 the public intense
emotion, and such removal promoted
and sustained in permanence, through
the aforesaid system and method of
control.
If the press with its forcefulness suc
ceeds in creating the necessary reform
sentiment, but neglects to properly
systematize, neglects or fails to estab
lish an effective permanent practica
bility in the public necessity service,
wherewith to control, the progress
of reform political reform which deals
with modern government financial
laws will remain without tangible or
j. i u '
. material resuii. :
To systematize the necessary action
which - sentiment and thought,
through the press has aroused there
must be an effective organization.
And the proposition herewith pre
sented, is , for determining a proper
plan whereby such effective organiza
tion may be successfully established.
If political action derives its power
from society's conditions and because
of those conditions organization fol
lows; organization built from and ob
taining its creative and sustaining en
ergy from the social rendezvous. Then
it seems plain that for successful re
sults there ..should be brought to the
aid of organization, those human pro
clivities, particularly helpful to a wise,
resourceful system and method of con
trol. Many factors in the character of
mankind, may be consideied as con
tributing Ih large measuio to organi
zation; we however believe that the
social, the" conscientious and the sel
fish ideas are the. principal elements in
human disposition of particular use,
when employed in effective organiza
tion. ,
Every person understands the value
in organization, of the social and con
scientious idea, but few have ade
quately considered the strength , and
importance of selfishness, in connec
tion with constructive organization
and association. Therefore the func
tion of selfishness as one of the im
portant determining factors in effective
organization is herewith" introduced as
being the natural or inherited element
in man which evidently can not be
taught to recognize its uncivilized con
duct or social folly in a day or even
in many years.
And because cf me predominating in
fluence of selfishness, practical success
ful organization, needs to provide for
it. Should provide a system that will
in a prudent or modified method, at
tract the selfish idea, secure the active
co-operation of selfish desire and en
tice the vigor of selfish aspiration.
Thus v through ap rovided system, sel
fishness in men, is made a useful contributor-
to the progress of organized
reform.
"A farmers' society recently organized
incorporated in its system and method
of operation a feature of selfishness for
controlling a regular attendance of
meetings by its members. The real
purpose; of , the society was .that of
promoting public reforms by inspiring
desire for acquirement of moral at
tributes; attributes decreed generally
by civilization as necessary to a com
mon happiness., And further, to pro
mote public reforms, by promoting the
attainment of plan and undefiled jus
tice; justice without which there can
be no proper condition of civil liberty.
But to enable its system and method
to successfully promote the acquire-

There is nothing to risk nothing to promise
nothing to pav, either now or later. Any Ktaeu
mat'c sufferer, who does not know any remedy
may have a lull dollar's worth lroe to try.
I willintlv make this liberal offer because I
know that Dr. Hhoop's llt-cumRtic Remedy
mav be relied upon ALWAYS to bring the ut
most relict that medicine cnn. Years before I
discovert! this remedy-, lftudltd the nature ot
Uheuniatii'm. For Rheumatism is really. .
Crystalized Poison!
Your blood is always full of poison the
poison yon eat and drink and breathe into your
svstem. It is the purpose ot the blood to absorb
and carry off this very poison. And the kidneys,
which are the blood filters, are expected to
cleanse tho blood and send it hack through the
system clenn, to pother more polbou which, they,
in turn will eliminate.
But sometimes the kiduoys fali. And some
times, from some other cause, the blood gets
so full of poison that thev nmnot absorb it all.
This is the start" of Rheumatism. The poison
accumulates and crvstalizcs. The crystals look
like little grains of snf?ar or of tine white sand.
The blood carries them and they increase in
sVzt. Then, when it can carry them no longer,
It depdslts them in a joint-on a bone uny
where. ,
The twinse in vour lee the dull ache in your
arm on a rainy day are the outward signs of he
unseen crystal!'. And the twisted limbs and un
speakable anguish ol thesutlererwhobHS allow
ed his symptoms to go unheeded and unintend
ed for yearsthese are the evidences ol what
Rheumntism, neglected, can do.
Khpnmnf.isin includes lumbago. EclntfCft.
neuralgia, gout tor all these are the results of
rhwinmtlf! noison in the blood.
Plainlv. the first thing to do Is to remove the
poison. Rut this is not enough. The formation
ofthe poisou must be stopped, so that nature
may have a chance to xiisolvo and eliminate
the crystals which have already formed, unless
this is done there can be no cure uo permanent
relief. , - ,

The secret Ifty in a- wonderful chemical I
found in Germany. When I found this chemi

cure that would be crncUcally certain. Hut
even then, before I mawie an announcement '
before I was willing to put my name pn it I
made moTe than 2,000 tests! And toy failures
were but '1 per cent. "
- This German chemical .is not tho only ingre
dient I use in Dr. f hoop's Rheumatic Cure bui
it made the remedy possible made possible au
achievement which, I doubt not. could have
been made in no other way. '
-The chemical was very expensive. The duly

That is why I can aSord to make this liberal

ment of those moral attributes and in
stall justice, it provided and adopted
a' process that duly and faithfully se
cured to each and every individual
member of the association, a regular,
pencuniarv benefit in cash; .This pe
cuniary of cash benefit feature, is the
association's practical concession to
human selfishness, and I presume it
unnecessary to explain here how fully
this attractive feature proved a winner.
Through association comes the: need
ed opportunity, for promotion of re
form, and thereby duly , realized; be
cause . peacefully! assembled men ; are
always tolerant, always calculating to
become interested and furthermore the
tendency of public influence in an as
sembly, it is well understood, generates
unprejudiced reasoning.
Pre-eminent In patriotism and pop
ulism, Thomas B; Watson is now lead
ing, grandly leading, in the task of
enlisting the nation's honesT, intelli
gent citizenship into an adequate polit
ical organization having for its object
the return to' the whole people of the
government, of that pow-?r in govern
ment, which ever contributes to a more
complete justice, eer confers a greater
liberty of thought and action and ever
bestows consequent happiness unto all
its membership. x
Does it occur tc the reader that a
Dossible ' danger to the reform cause
can and may accompany Mr. Watson's
individual leadership, clanger there
from because it may be found impos
sible' for him to concisely impress hi3
nersonality upon a sufficient number
of 80,000,000 men and women, impossi
ble to attract them sufficiently into nis
political dominion and thereby secure
control of government? txn any per
son measure the. untoward result to
reform, should the effort prove un
availing. . v
If it is reasonable to consider such
result of impossibilities; then would
it not be an act of wisdom for the
reform consecrated men of our coun
try to provide a more universal and
enduring establishment than that of a
chief reliance upon a -single personal
ity, should there not be an established
system and method' that will enable
reform to withstand like possible con
tingencies. Is there any person who
may safely acclaims that Mr. Watson,
by and through the agency of a reform
press and his personal speech alone,
can bring to his ft llowing the required
strength of voting citizenship neces
sary to the coveted success., .
I am fully aware that if any living
man can do such a work Mr. Watson
is that man. .But a . majority more
than one-half of 80,000,000 is a mar
velous number to be reached.. Per
sonally I very much' doubt the power
of any created man, or any man yet
to be created, to accomplish such a
work; unless that work 13 supple
mented by adequate social organiza
tion ; an association system and meth
od which wfll bring it its aid the ele
ments found in humanity social, con
scientious and selfish proclivities, mar
shaling all these creative forces into
one impregnable, compact desire for
reform.
What of the people's party outlook?
2U1 wish it God speed, but what are we
doing, every man believing in its mis
sion winces if he i3 required to say it
is discouraging, , though if one has
doubts as to present. conditions of prog
ress fWhy not ; honestly express theni.
The reform press appears to be opti
mistic, but whoever knew an editor,
reform or other form, to record always
and - under all circumstances the pre
cise state of aifairc, and more espe-,.
cially where the . adverse public ex-
pression would- positively be received
with the rumble of oprobrium bitter
and deep from the befogged throng
across the rubicon.
If the rank and Tile of the people's
party is in harness and of aggressive
presence in shop and store, mills,
churches, school houses or railroad
trains, arguing, disputing and harass
ing the opposition - ev3rywhere, we
could not then be mistaken as to the
progress of reform. Bujt listen where
you may! and never so alertly! noth
ing,, absolutely nothing is heard con
cerning the people's party. All that
comes to your ears politically from
philosopher, passenger or puppy-dog is
something like this: ""Well, I believe
Roosevelt is going to give Wall street
a black-eye," or "i tell you, President
Roosevelt is all right on reform," and
again, "Deneen Is a good man," or
','Deneen will make an excellent gov
ernor." Next comes, "Folk i3 just tho
right man for the time ani place," etc.,
etc. Why I have listened to professed
populists men never . questioned "or
suspicioned with infidelity to the prin
ciples of the people's party, openly ac
claim that had they lived in Missouri
they; too, would have voter for Folk.
Or had Wisconsin been their home
they' would have voted for LaFollette.
Call their attention to the uselessness
and futility of such action .by citing
the failure, and impotency of Michi
gan's Pingree, Toledo's Mayor Jones,
New York's Henry George, Ohio's Tom
Johnson, Nebraska'3 Bryan and a
great multitude of lesser note old party
reformers, yet rank and file populists
refuse to be interested even in mode
ration, fail to exhibit due allegiance
or due devotion to the populist faith.
To be sure they subscribe for populist
newspapers and will loyally and punc
tually send Tom Watson's Magazine a
dollar, just to see what it's like. But
take a persistent, fighting public in
terest in our and you properly sup
pose their party principles, why the
condition is a scaly, measly, weakish
