observer" Writes of
Political Matters

|
Ben Hill County and there can be
no mistake about it. | have had
nothing to say heretofore, because
| have been awaiting develop
ments, and to mark the slime up"
of the two sides, viz: whiskey and
prohibition. Now that they are
pretty well formed, | want to say
a few words little out of the or
binary in politics, in regard to the
issue and the men engaged in it.
We are not afraid that Ben Hill
county will send a whiskey man to
the legislature, somehow we feel
that that has been taken care of.
But we are troubled about some
Of the men who are going to try to
send him there, who are now lined
up on the side ofevil. Since the days
when Israel sought king to rule
over them there have been men
ever ready and willing to ''sell
themselves to work iniquity in the
sight of the Lord" we have them
in Fitzgerald. Long before and
ever after the days of Benedict
Arnold there have been traitors,
not men, who have stood ready to
betray their country into the hands
of the enemy for few paltry dol
lars or for the qualification Of a
personal grudge, and in order to
cover up their own sins, we have
them in Fitzgerald.
Since the days of the old proph-
cts there have been traitors-not
fathers-who have stood willing
to ''sacrifce their sons for a gift,
and their daughters for price. "
We have them in Fitzgerald,
who are directly and indirectly
espousing the cause Of the harlot
and procuress. This is a good
place to pause and ask "Lord is it
r"
Since the days of the ''Scribes,
Pharisees, Hypocrites," there
have been men who loved "the up
permost seats in the Synagogues,
and to be called Of men Rabbi,
Rabbi" ever seeking to have "all
men speak well Of them, by ap
pearing to be on every side of
every issue. We have them in
Fitzgerald.
Since the day Of Judas Isoariot
there has been found not Gin the
great congregation" but in the lit
tie company of the devoted twelve,
some one who is willing to secretly
betray the cause ofhis Lord, which
cause he has publicly espoused.
These, too, we have in Fitzgerald.
This is another good place to ask
'L0rd is it II"
1t is enough to make the Son of
God shed tears Of disappointment
as these men, who profess to be his
friends and followers, like Judas,
betrayed his cause ''into the hands
Of sinners" and then Ego out and
hang themselves" That is, kill
the real soul and manhood they
have possessed, kill all their fut-
ure usefulness AMI influence for
good in the community. How
many Of our men are going t. hang
themselves in this campaign4
Seek TO dodge the question o.
we may, deep down in our hearts
we know that whiskey is the issue
in this campaign, in the language
of Solomon, "Surely in vain the
net is spread in the sight of any
bird" And this whiskey net is
concealed under the hedge of city
charter etc. But "whithcrsoeyel

The BEysn and Kern Club Of this
ci'y was treated toa splendid speech
at lie meeting on last Tuesday night
IRON Attorney ]. NJ. Woods, There
wasla goodly number present and
much enthusiasm was shown.
Mr. Woods spoke on the issues Of
the campaign with special reference TO
the tariff and the publicity Of cam
paig centribuiions.O On the question Of
tariff be laid down the proposition that
the constitution does not admit of a
protective tariff, that the congress has
only such powers as are delegated to II
by the states |. e. to lay and collect
taxes, duties, impos,s and excise, to
pay the debts and provide for the COM
mon defense and general welfare OF the
United States. The idea of laying taxes
Tor the purpose of protecting favorite
interests was never contemplated by
the trainers o. the constitution, and
Therefore Is unconstitutisnal snd
wrong. The speaker also pointed out
the danger to the general welfare OF
the nation from the results of protee-
ton that il tends to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer, and that
this tendency of indefinitely continued
by the principle of protection must
bring on revolution in the form OF so
ciaiism or something worse On the
subject Of publicity of oamp aign CON
tributien Mr.. Woods showed how
adroitly Mr. Bryan had set his trap
and how the impetuous Roosevelt had
walked int II and been caught,
bow Roosevelt retreated to the
sacred precincts OF the White
House with the excuse that Bryan
was getting personal. He showed how
teat by the use Of large contributes
the interests have been able to control
legislation and that the republican
party has permitted these interests TO
