The Watermelon.
Jays the Savannah News:

/
watermelon season IS at hand. It has
/ already begun in Florida, where two car
/ loads Of scrub stock have been sent TO
! market The melons were little and
runty and green. to be sure, but they
| were watermelons, and harbingers of the
crop now on Georgia vines. c0ndensing
and combining sweetness and sunshine.
BY the time we get 'kRee-deep In June
real watermelons will be moving to mar
ket freely from the Georgia farms, and
then life Will once more be worth living.
And when we've had melon enough,
theren be peaches and creamT'
OF course. one never gets watermelon
enough-the suggestion was merely the
byplay of poetical license-but If one did,
peaches and cream would not be a salts
factory substitute. In fact. nothing
would. a safety OF watermelon would
mean a safety of all things An appe-
tite that refused to bulge at the behest
of watermelon would be a budgeless ap-
petite.
Every watermelon prospect pleases. 1t
is the fruit OF the people. It is controlled
by no trust and affected by no tariff. It
grows out in the open, encouraged by the
Lords sunshine. and. nobly responsive
thereto. No part of 1t need go to waste
Its pulp Is an immediate delight, its
rind a preserve item unlimited in dainty
possibility. and It's seed may be utilized
to the production of more watermelons!
The watermelon possesses the happy
faculty Of making Itself at home every
where and at all hours. On its native
heath or a thousand miles away, It is
benedictIon and song impartiaIly. 1t
is served as the piece de resistance in the
SWEETEST cafes the land affords; it joys
the inmost heart Of the negro plowhand
beside his cabin door. Chilled artihciaiiy
or with the dew of the early morning. Il
IS the same-always delicious, ever re.
freshing.
America enjoys a monopoly Of water
melons. Nowhere else in the world Is the
real thing to be had. Rank and poor
limitations are cultivated here and there
about the earth. bat only In our own
Sunny South is the genuinely good article
grown.
The watermelon comes early IN the
summer and stays late. Blessed be the
watermelon.

Bernard Shaw Again.

II has remained for the satirical Ber-
nard Shaw 10 strike a new note in the
matter Of Col. Roosevelt's Gundhan
speech. In retaliation for the ex-Presi-
dents good advice to Great Britain. Mr.
Shaw suggests that America has proved
herself incapable of seIf-goyernment, and
that the country should be promptly re-
conquered by King George in the inter
ests OF civilization.
America broke loose from US at the
end OF the eighteenth century. Ever
since 1t has been proving its utter unfit
ness 70 govern itself. The revelations of
san Francisco were the last straw. Moth
ing that has ever happened in Egypt
can touch them. II it is our duty. as
M Roosevelt says. to govern Egypt for
its own good. without consulting its in
habitants, it is many times more iInpor-
tant that we should take America in
hand in the same way"
If there is any sting in Bernard shaw's
satire. one can scarcely say. after Mr..
Roosevelt's speech. that it is quite unde-
served But Mr. Shaw. being only a super
nelal observer Of things American. failed
to make his point stronger, as he might
have done, by calling attention to the
Lorimer case. with its alleged bribery
of State legislature: to the revelations
Of Judge Lindsey in regard TO Denver. to
the arrest OF Golden Rule" Kuhler in
Cleveland. to say nothing of the strike
situation in Philadelphia. the P!ttsburg
graft discoveries. or the scandal of the
sugar trust.
At least, Mr.. Shaw has done us this
service: He has pointed out that for Col.
Roosevelt, in his role Of regenerator and
Fighter of wrongs. there is plenty OF
work to be done in the country over
which he was so recently Chief Exeeu-
tive, without interfering with England's
rule in Egypt or bothering with the
South African protectorates
