Our Washington letter this week has some
thing to say about labor conditions and wages IN
France EEwhere government ownership prevails.
By inference the low scale of wages is result OF
government is plausably put, but not well founded
in truth. The wage scale is low i'll many count
ries where government ownership does not obtain
Dear reader if you want to find 1--we town,
where every body is busy (even the few thugs
eft in it) come to Fitzgerald: The improvement
in every respect is something remarkable Every
body who amounts to anything is busy and the
drones and dead beats look lonesome, and no
doubt feel like they ought to be some where else,
and we agree with them.
Hang this motto III every school III the land
in every home, in every young man S room, mother
engrave it Oh every childs heart.
Men of character are the conscience OF the
society to which they belong. They and not the
police guarantee the execution of the laws. Their
influence is the buIwark of good government.
good character is precious thing, above rubies,
gold, crowns, or kingdom and the work OF making
it is the noblest labor on earth.-Norman Press
The Enterprise hopes that tax-receiver Earle
Gibbs; is requiring the tax payers to return thelr
property at a fair valuation. We realize that he
will find some difficulty, but he should be equal to
the emergency. 1t will be peculiarly unfortunate,
if the first tax return of Ben Hill comfy is listed
at about one half or less than one half real value
1t is his sworn duty to refuse tOaccep returns that
contain under valuation and we believe that Earle
will do his duty.
'tMan's inhumanity to man makes countless
millions mourn y ETrOuble makes the whole
world akin - The citizens of our town are respond
ing to the call for funds to redeem Mrs. Stones
home more literally than our most sangulne
exnectatiOn as some do not even wait to be called
On but send us word that they ''want to help"
Different ones have given us ten dollars and SAID
to t'come back' if we needed more. This is the
business of the community People in general are
humane when they see case of inhumanity such
as this.
The next legislature will probably pass some
legislation fixing penalty on telegraph companies
for failure to deliver messages promptly. Repre-
sentative Wallace ID. Sheffield Decatur county
announces his purpose to introduce such meas
ure Now we are going to watch Wally and his
measure and wish them success. Ii kilograms are
not for prompt delivery what are they for?-Daw-

We are betting our money Oh Wallace and

We have been expecting some law maker to
get behind the telegraph companies and it certain
is is merited If there is a miserable make Shift of
a common carrier in this country that needs to be
aroused from its sleeping it is the telegraph mono
poly; They will take your message and your
money! and worry. Tomorrow you send tracer
and find that the message is not delivered; And
swers have been known to come back but it is
generally on the following day. The messenger
bows could hardly find the mayor ola town if he
was ten feet from his office. Newspaper specials
NAV be started soon after breakfast but they will
arrive after the hour of going to to lpress. They
raise the rates and raise salaries and the patrons
pay the freight but the service improves meyer
We have known all the while that the time
would come when they would pay dearly for poor
service and high rates and now say letter come.
