Democracy and
Prosperity.

Champ Clark has a way of putting
things that cannot be misconstrued
He makes his statements and the
statements are founded on cold facts
and they usually have weight.
One of his recent utterances carries
about as much truth as can be said in
as few words. He was answering the
charge that Democracy would mean
panics and hard times throughout the
country, and this is what he said:
s'The Democrats constitute one-half
OF the American people. They are en-
gagged in every species of legitimate
business known among men, and pos
sible in this country. The effect of
law falls like the rain, the sunshine
and the dew of heaven, equally on the
just and on the unjust. Consequently
the Democrats cannot injure other
peoples business without injurine
their own. I have said before. and
say now, that no legitimate industry in
the United States has any cause what
ever to fear the action Of the Demo
Gratis, and the sooner these prophets
of evil are squelched, the better the
country will be off. The desire of the
Democrats is to arrange things, as far
as may be, that every American citi-
zen shall have an equal chance in the
race of life
The statement that a Democratic
president will mean panics is con-
stantly handed out by those that are
benefited by the protective tariff. 1t is
said to affect the ignorant voter and
unfortunate. it has had it's effect. and
has kept the Republicans in power.
IS 1t is folly to suppose that the thou
sands of Democrats will deliberately
plan to ruin themselves, when no good
will be accomplished. The leaders II
the Republican party know how untrue
their statements in regard to this mat.
ter are, but they also know that the
empty dinner pail cry does get vote:
among a certain class.
The legitimate industries, as Mr.
Clark wisely says, need have no feal
of a Democratic administration, and
business that is not legitimate doe!
not belong in America. Any business
or industry that has to be kept up b!
aid from the federal government doe
not deserve to exist.
Fortunately the voters are becoming
enlightened and are making a study o
governmental affairs. That they ar
becoming wise to the situation /
shown by the elections last year, whei
many Democrats and some insurgen
Republicans were elected in the place

The opponents of the income tax
amendment will be well remembered
by the voters of Florida, who will do
for them just what the house did for
the fired messenger. The following
paragraphs in regard to the matter
are from the Jacksonville Metropolis:
Rumors floating from Tallahassee
are to the effect that certain members
of the state senate are preparing to
kill ratification of the federal income
tax amendment, which is favored by
all Americans save the wealthy people
who VIII be affected. Those who vote
against the amendment vote in direct
opposition to the wishes of their con-
stituents, and they will do so with full
knowledge of the fact. The
Florida legislator who casts his vote
against the federal income tax amend
ment, or allows this opportunity for
ratification to die, is a traitor to the
spirit of Democracy.

1t is a fact, although not generally
known, that the American soldiers are
better cared for than the soldiers of
any other country in the world. True,
the United States is not such a mill
tary country as some of the European
powers, and our people do not go crazy
about man simply because he wears
uniform, but the soldier boys of
Uncle Sam are we'll cared for, have
more to eat, more to wear, and more
freedom and amusement than those

not the views of the editor. Mr.. Editor
is only one man. His opinion may be
correct, and may not be. The history
of Florida journalism is full of the
wrecks of many ventures. Time fails
to make some men less assertive and
predictive. When they fail to make
good in one county, they can go to an
other. People like a fighter? Perhaps
so, but a builder is worth more. At
any rate. let each knight of the pencil
select his policy and write it out or
fight it out. The world is wide. There
is room for all.-DeSoto County News.

Jacksonville did not get the Confed-

they could see the two towns.

Without any apparent cause, the
pistol toting habit is on the decline
and few men walk around the streets
today with their pockets full of fire
arms where the habit few years ago
was general. The men have begun to
realize what fools they were making

why the habit is disappearing.

Equal rights is what the Democrats
have always and are still contending
for. They cannot see any justice in
legislating against the poor for the
benefit of the rich.
After reading the statement of
Champ Clark and giving the matter
thorough thought and study, we can
not understand why any laboring man
can vote to perpetuate Republicanism.
The Atlanta Georgian ought to get
informed on some subjects before it
takes UP the fight in other states
against the convict lease system. It
said that it did not take a hand in the
matter until the press of Florida (for
reasons of its OWN failed to do so.
That was gross misstatement of
facts, for the press of Florida, or a
larger part of 1t, has been against the
convict lease system and has presented
arguments that had weight against the
evil, whereas the Georgian tried to
create sensation out of ii. The
movement was started long before the
Georgian took a hand in the matter.
and If the Georgian has had any effect
one way or another it has been for a
continuance of the lease system, for
the legislators have not reIished the
idea of the Georgian's unidentified
manner Of putting it's hand in when at
present-even with the lease system in
vogue-F1orida's convicts are many
times better cared for than those serv-
ing time in Georgia. If the Georgian
is interested enough in the welfare of
the convicts in Florida 1t would do
well to try to get the Georgia system
on higher plane before 1t takes up
the troubles of other states Florida
can handle it's problems without any
help from Georgia.

against the petitions and in favor of
the Hermiston district.
In its fight to secure more terri

egation representing Hermiston was
also present to fight the case.
1t was promised by the Hermis-
tonians that they will send teams into
the country for the purpose of bring

other forcible argument for their side

DO BIG HATS KEEP
MEN FROM CHURCH?

San Francisco.-Are the picture
hats which adorn women's heads on
Sunday responsible for the number of
male absentees from religious worship
at the various churches in Berkeley.
This is the question with which the
ministers of the various protestant
denominations are busy. The ques-
ton is viewed as a serious one and
no less than half dozen clergymen
have undertaken to solve the prob
lem.
The Rev. Charles B. Dalton, pastor
of Trinity NJ. f. church, has taken an
active part in the campaign to have
women remove their headgear while
attending services in his church and
recently in bulletin issued by the
church appealed to the women.
The women Cf the First Baptist
church have largely needed the re-
quest of their pastor, the Rev. Rich
ard NJ. Vaughn, when requested not
to wear hats in church.
There are exceptions to the rule,
of course" he said, but we hope to
have the custom generally observed
i'm a short time"
The Rev. DR.. Felix Y. Morrison, st
Joseph's Roman Catholic church, re-
fused to be drawn into the question

women may wear as many hats "a
they wish so long as they are not toe
