A NATIONAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

IL the American government is fore
ed to Intervene between the contend
ing "a ctions and parties in Mexico, and
is forced to send troops on to Mexican
soil and to- the Mexican capital, a war
OF much greater proportions. Of longer
time and a greater cost in blood and
money than that of 184S, may well be
expected, as it is to be supposed that
all factions Of the belligerent MeXi-
cans will unite to repel the necessary
invasion from this country.-Miami
Herald.
Our people do not understand the
Mexican people. They look upon them
as cowardly, lazy and treacherous.
The ways of the Mexicans are not
our ways, but in bravery and sense Of
honor they are inferior to no other
people. They have grave grievances
against us. and misunderstood us as
much as we misunderstood them.
II the people of the two nations un-
derstood each other as fully as the
people Of Georgia and Florida under
stand each other, there would be very
little trouble between them.

TEDDY AND THE TARIFF

Harper's Weekly sums up both the
colonel and TIE protective policy in the
following brief article:
Here are a few lines from the Bos-
ton Heralds account of Mr.. Roose-
veIt's speech on Boston Common on
August nth:
Once during his speech the colonel
touched upon the tariff. declaring that
it's benefits should not all stop at the
front office. He asserted there should
be a proportionate showing in the pay
envelopes, crying out:
I'VE want the prosperity passed
down"
How are you going to do it?" shout
ed a man on the outskirts Of the crowd.
''I would have a tariff commission
investigate" came the answer. Where
the tariff meant enormous profits /
would have the commission see IL the
workingman's conditions were being
bettered; IL the workers were receiving
a just wage. II they found these
things were not being done and II
wages were not righted in six months.
that tariff would be taken off entire
ly. That Is feasible and just"
Isn't that interesting! and how
sweetly and frankly primitive the col
oneTs tariff ideas are! 1t Is all a ques-
ton OF who shall get the money. If
the right people get the money the
tariff is fine thing. Sound old re-
publican doctrine, to be sure! where
the tariff means enormous profits" the
workman should have his modest dues.
That's all. Nothing about us folks
that the enormous profits" come out
Of Nothing about us. The tariff
protected industries may have their
will with us Is only "the workers" get
a "just wage" That Is feasible and
just. but IL wages are not right, or
made right within six months, take
that tariff off entirely!
That the tariff-extorted money which
must go into the right pockets or there
~ t-15SA-tFonble, comes out of the pock-
cts of any of us, is a thought quite
outside the scope OF the coloners con-
siderations.
That is one great trouble about the
tariff It's advocates get the notion,
deep seated and self-acting, that it
produces the money that 1t distributes.
But 1t doesn't. 1t only diverts it: di-
verts it, as the colonel would, into fav-
ored channels.

4 REAL FRIEND
At THE RIGHT TINE

Charlie Jones in Dixie tells the fol-
lowing on his chief:
few days ago Claude LEngle re-
ceived a telegram from II. \. Ruker
of Arran. Fla, that his hoy had run
away from home to join the army. The
father asked Claude to find his son and
return him home. Clauda got busy i'm
mediately and detective Hooks caught
him at L. s. Army headquarters get
ting ready to Sign up"
Claude went to the police station to
talk TO the boy. He took him for
long automobile ride and 1 accom-
panied them. The boy insisted that
there was only one way to get him
back to Arran and that was to kill
him. Claude went to work on that
youth. He told him of the hardships
Of the army and that inasmuch as the
boys mother was dead his best friend
in the world was his father. He en-
phasized the horror of any break be-
tween father and son. The boy was
finally convinced and agreed to go
back home Claude put him at one of
the best hotels, gave him money to see
the moving pictures and ride around
town and bought him a ticket to Arran.
The boy was a good boy. I was con-
Vlnceu Oh THIS AFTER L nedru MIN talk.
He loved his father, but he was head
strong" and had determined to join the
army. 1t was Claude's kindness that
saved the boy, and which brought him
back to his father. l mention this Incl
dent because it shows that the best
way to reach the hearts of boys is thru
kindness. This sort of a thing is very
common in the life of Claude L'Engle.
He is doing something of this nature
every day those closely allied with
him well know. If boys were handled
right there would be better boys.
Claude doesn't see anything I write
until it is in print: therefore, l will
say that L wish everybody in the
country could have heard that lecture
Claude gave this youth. 1t was full of
kindness-it was a GENT made a
new boy of the Cracker" lad from
Wakulla county.

WILSON SATISFIED
WITH RESULT IN MAINE

Woodrow Wilson declares himself
satisfied with the outcome Of the
gubernatOrial election in Maine.
II think the results are very salts
factory indeed" he said, biased on the
results of both four years ago and two
years ago. Two years ago the repub-
licans were divided, but this time they
were united. That makes a great diff
ference. In 1904, as | member, a re-
publican governor was elected by 25,-
900. and Mr.. Taft's majority was about
$4,000.
Governor Wilson added that the es-
sential things to consider was that
while the republicans in Maine had
gotten together. the democrats had
more than held their own. reducing re-
publican pluralities extensively. He
thought also that the vote in Maine
showed "the same drift" as it did in
Vermont. namely, that the democrats
were not losing but gaining votes I'm
states ordinarily republican.

There has been trouble around Cum
ming, a little town in the North Geor-
gia mountains, near Gainesville, for
some days. One negro talked too
roughly to a white man and was Jail
ed. negro preacher, who should
have given his race good advice, in
stead delivered a diatribe against the
whites in general and white women in
Cumming in particular. He was
promptly picked up and horsewhipped.
and had to be put in the lookup to
save his life. number of hotheaded
negroes threatened to dynamite the
town, and the whites at once poured in
from all over the country. Militia came
and quieted affairs, but scarcely had
they marched out of the town when a
young negro raped and murdered a
white girl. The authorities saved his
life by rushing him to Atlanta in an
auto. but a mob OF 1000 men took one
of his friends out OF jail, shot him to
pieces and strung his body to n tele-
phone pole.

SURVIVORS OF 4 LOST NATION

Vilhjalmar Stefansson. the Norwe-
gian explorer. after spending more
than four years in Arctic exploration.
has returned to Seattle from Nome.
Alaska. He tells of his probable dis
Covery of descendants Of the Scandi-
navian colonists of Greenland. who
were last heard of in 1912. and who.
when trade with Greenland was resum-
ed in the seventeenth century, has dis
appeared.
Stefansson and his companion. DR. r.
NJ Anderson of Forest City. Iowa. made
a valuable geological and chronological
collection which is now on the steam
whaler Belvedere with Dr Anderson
and which will arrive in San Francisco
the first week in November on the way
to the American Museum OF Natural
History. New York.
Stefansson and Anderson went to
the Arctic in 1908 by way Of Winnipeg
Edmonton and down the Mackenzie
river to its mouth. They were bound
for Coronation Gulf. a region marked
on Canadian maps as uninhabitated
and which they had been warned to
avoid. Stefansson spent the first win
ter at the mouth OF Colville river
Alaska. the second At Cape Parry. the
third on Coronation Gulf and Victoria
land, the fourth al Cape Parry.
OF the so-called white ESkimos of
Coronation Gulf. Stefansson said:
They were taller than the Green
land Eskimos, hut not so tall as the
Alaska EskimoS. They spoke Eskimo.
though l thought detected some
Morse words and they lived N the
typical Eskimo way. l visited thirteen
groups of these people. who number
probably 1000. and saw 1000 of them.
Ten of these groups or tribes had new
er come into contact with whites and
had not even tradition of them. Two
tribes had traditions of the Sir John
Franklin expedition. An old man in
one tribe had seen Richardson in 1913
and an old man in another tribe had
seen Collinson in 1883"

Mr.. Stillman is an interesting writer
