Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-10-30
The now famous Lincoln Steffens is writ


judge-Lindsey. Perhaps there is no more
striking character in public life today than
Judge Lindsey. He has done more good and
less harm in his capacity as Judge. perhaps,
than any man who has graced the bench since
the Declaration of Independence.
But what we want to call attention to, par
ticularily, is that this good Judge has the
strongest kind of opposition. The great writ
ter says:
IF you care to take the measure of Christian
civilization in the Un,ed Safes to-day, reflect
for a MON mt frankly upon the meaning OF this
fact: There is opposition to Judge Lindsey
That men like Folk and La Toilette, Everett
Colby and (even) Mark Pagan, should have 10
fight for the right 10 do right, is significant
enough of the power of evil among us; but Ben
Lindsey This man is so jlst and so gentle;
his purposes are 50 pure; his work is so bean'i-
full, so successful aud-you would thnK-so
harmless. that no one would expect to see any
mans hand raised against the Judge OF the Ju-
veue Court of Denver. Callous souls might
show Indifference, but why opposiion?"
"He deals out justice to bad men as we'll as
to bad boys, and when by accident one day he
discovered evidence of graft IN his Court judge
Lindsey forced the grafters to trial aud to con-
viction. Ben Lindsey does his duty, his whole
duty as a man. as citizen, and as a public
official, and that's what makes him menace to
Things AS They Are in Colorado and in the
United States"
The writer might have gone further and said
with equal truth aud force, that's what makes
him hated and opposed. We do not believe that
any man do his duty in public way
and avoid opposition, contradiction and spiteful
criticism.
The Enterprise is proud of the oppo-
stioa that confronts it.
OF coures, everybody (who is any good)
favors white primary for city officers just like
they favor white primary for county officers,
and for state officers, any other officers.
This is white mans country and those who
don't like it have pulled out.
In conversation with one of Fitzeerald's
most successful business men Saturday, he
preached the subject and stated that whlskey
bad been the cause of all the troubles he ever
had, and believed that nine tenths of the trouble
in the world came directly or Indirectly from the
use of whiskey. This same business man has
been willing to permit saloons in Fitzgerald be-
cause he candidly believed that prohibition
would not prohibit but we will show Ia another
issue this week that prohibition in Fitzgerald is
success, that about nine ten,hs of the drinking
and drunkenness has already been banished and
in so short time that it must within few
months prove complete success.
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. D. Macarthur, of White
Springs, Fla, brought their year old
daughter TO Dr. Ball last Saturday TO have her
examined for some head trouble. Several of
the best specialist of the state had pronounced
operation as the only relief but the mother
would not consent.
After a careful examination by means of
the X-Ray, DIR. Ball dis covered the presence of
a foreign body, which when removed proved to
be the head on a hat pin. 1t had been there
over two years and become so embedded in the
tissues of the nasal cavities, that a small por-
tion of one of the turbnated bones had to be
sawn away ere the pin head could be extracted.
The parents of the clld could not find
words to express the gratitude they felt for
they fully believe that DR.. Ball has saved their
childs life.
The Editor of the "Enterprise" would sug.
gest, that the public has evidence in the above
article to show that it is no longer necessary to
go to some large city to get the best medical at.
