TOOK ISSUE WITH TAFT
Congressman Sparkman Says Money
spent for River and Harbor I'm
prOyement il for n Very Good
Purpose

Washington. Dec. 6.-Representative
Stephen VI. Sparkman Of Florida, chair
man Of the rivers and harbors commit
tee Of the House. at the rivers and har-
bOrs congress. took issue with Presi-
dent Tafts statement that much of the
money spent n this country for the
improvement OF rivers and harbors. so
far "a navigation is concerned, was in
the nature Of pretense, and that the
money ought 70 be spent not under the
commerce laws, but under the welfare
clause Of the constitution. which gives
the government the power to carry
ou- such projects.
The president said ne would be in
favor Of spending 100000 on the
Mississippi for the protection of life
and property Of the people from st.
Louis to New Orleans.
II was Mr.. Sparkman's judgment, he
told the delegates. that money for riv-
ers and harbors had much better be
spent under the commerce laws in the
future as in the past, for the purpose
of improving navigation, and that he
would oppose the presidents plan 10
spend SJO.OOO.OOO on the Mississippi
under the welfare clause in the con-
stitutiOn.
Mr.. Sparkman received close atten-
ton and mis- address is considered one
of the best so far heard.

REMEDIES AND CURES

II you have a cold, a cough or a
headache, and go take some patent
medicine remedy, 1t won't cure you,
tho It may make you feel better for
a while. 1t may ease the part affect
ed, but IL will hurt the rest OF your
system and render 1t more liable to
suffer from the next attack. If you
go to a skilled physician, he will cure
you.
Railroads, telegraphs and express
companies will not give good service
as they should at reasonable rates
until they are compelled to do so by
law. Competition may remedy their
imposition on the public-until they
assimilate the competition-but it will
not cure them. 1t will take a just law,
vigilantly administered to do that.
Law will not be just and properly
administered until all the people take
a close interest in public affairs. OBJ
serve men and study measures, and
vote for what they believe is best.
Creating new courts and commissions.
and passing new laws, such as the in
itiative, referendum and recall, are
only palliatives and remedies, and will
stop working, or work wrong, after the
first few doses. Olly the steady treat
ment of close observation and devotion
to the public welfare will cure the
body polite of its diseases and keep it
sound and healthy.

COMRADE SCHNEIDER
DEFENDS 4. j. WAYLAND

wayland. the socialist journalist
who committed suicide a couple of
weeks ago, rallied increasingly at the
ca pitalist system. but under ii he had
buttered his own bread with reasona-
BILE thickness. He was worth over
$4,000, which he had made out of his
brethren who subscribed to the Appeal
to Reason.-Star of a recent date.
Editor Star: In the interest of or
binary fairness and common decency,
will you not kindly give as wide a
circulation to the following correction
Of the above clipped item, which some
how got into your columns and which
is a plain and malicious Islander of a
man. who like his great predecessor.
Wendell Phillips, whom in many ways
he resembles in his works and actions.
our children and even those of his
greatest present political opponents
and detractors will some day set i'm
perishable monuments to him.
\. ]. Wayland, IN for twenty or more
years standing, lighting for and de-
Tending the worlds greatest and, alas,
as yet most unpopular cause, deserves
all possible credit, that any reasonably
fair minded enemy would accord an
other. whom he vanquishes in a fair
fight.
How much more of credit would
man deserve if for twenty or more
years he had been braveiy hghting
battle in which his opponents have yet
to learn the a, b, C of a square deal, an
honest fight OF intellects, an honorable
victory, or retreat, and what it means
to hats off, 10 a brave, though con-
quered fighter.
Wayland acquired none OF your
dirty lucre in real estate deals before
he entered the last and greatest OF all
abolition movements, the freeing OF a
world full Of slaves in five colors. He
spent his own money freely for the
great cause and repeatedly came to
the rescue and saved his paper from
the attacks of the isnoble crowd, who
were ever on it's trait seeking to de-
stroy another "emancipator" and his
shop and tools. Beyond a very reason
able salary from the paper he has
never received a cent of profits.
There are fifty million men and wo-
men by whom Wayland will ever be
remembered as an honest friend of the
as yet under dog in the fight, in whose
memory he will ever kindly remain and
whose children will be taught to men,
orize among the few and truly deserv
ing really great men, the promotes Of
human life and happiness, as against
it's destroyers, the name of A. J. Way
Iland, the owen LOvejoy, William
Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips and
Abraham Lincoln of the twentieth
century, the century which is destined
to strike the gives and shackles from
the wrists of not four million but Of
/, 500, 900 900 slaves.
Peace to his ashes! Let him rest: his
work will be finished by others and
even his worst detractors will be the
benefciaries. though blind as yet, shall
see some day and regretfully shed
tear and drop a rose upon the monu-
ment of him We know as a. ]. Way

Judge Bullock IS presiding this week

decisions There is no better or fairer
Judge in Florida than Judge Bullock.

"sOME GOOD SENTIMENT

The article under the above head on
the fourth page deserves considera-
ton. 1t was written by a respected
coIored woman of this city, and very
fairly represents the sentiment Of the
better element OF colored people.
The contributor. however. is mistak
en- about there being so little kind
ness and encouragement for cOlored
people in the southern press. The
Star has never failed to speak well Of
all their undertakings for good that
has been brought to it's notice, and we
have seen many good words for them
in our local contemporary, Which like
the Star has refused to join in the
prejudiced attacks on Booker Wash
ington and other of their leading men !;
their Leaders. we mean, in good works,
not those that appeal to their preju-
dice. The Star has observed that a
large proportion OF it's southern ex-
changes are quite frequent in express
sions of good will to the negro; and
such expressions from a southern pa
per may be relied on as honest, for It
has no selfish ends to gain by 1t. Some
go to the opposite extreme. and it's
the Stars opinion that all have been
making crimes by negroes too promi-
nent. This, however. has been from the
Inevitable standpoint of a newsgather-
er more than from prejudice against
the negro race. The colored people
have their own sins on this line to an
swer for: they prayed in their churches
for the success OF Jack Johnson,
which all should have known was like
Haunting a red flag at a bull There
Is a whole lot OF wrong doing on both
sides, and as the Star has aforesaid, it
is to the credit OF the stronger race to
set a good example.

HAS US HEMNIED

In another column, Comrade Schnei-
der wallops us because the other day
we penned a not entirely respectful
allusion to Comrade Wayland. who as
sisted himself up the golden stair with
a pistol bullet a few weeks ago.
Comrade Schneider has us hemmed.
The Star treats his cult with more in
diligence than any other paper in this
section IL commends some of it's theor-
les, denounces persecution Of it's mem
bers and gives space to lots Of its va
carries. yet every time we take a
gentle whack at 1t or any of it's dis
ciples, he overwhelmns us with half a
column or so of argument which we
have great difficulty in answering for
the same reason that we would have
trouble in holding half a bushel of
Irish potatoes in our arms without any
bag or box.
Now we respectfully submit to Com
rade Schneider and the other COM
rades some things that we should not
have alluded to had it not been for
this somewhat unnecessary rush of
rescue to Wayland's memory. We have
read the Appeal to Reason, more or
less. for the last dozen years. We have
always found it full of bitter, unreas-
everything that Wayland did not
agree with. We have found in it
what we believed to be SANDER of men
we respected and rabid abuse of pol
icies we believed to be good. Accord
ing to 1t, our country is a pesthole of
ignorance and crime.
Wayland has published some truth
full things, some things that should
have been published and which very
few others would have published, but
they would have been none the less
truthful and much more influential if
they had been published in moderate
language.
How can the socialists consider
themselves prosecuted when they
steadily denounce all public men out
side of their party as rascals, and all
voters who do not vote for them Is
hirelings, dupes or slaves? Are the So
cialists the only people in the country
who have any sense or principle?
The Star has not Joined the many
papers who sneered at Wayland as a
coward because he committed suicide.
1t Is the Stars opinion that it takes
more nerve than the average man is
possessed OF to with his own hand
open the gateway to the valley of the
SnaOOW, out IL also InlnhS IndI d man
Is deficient in the nobler courage that
enables many to live in spite of mis-
fortune IL he chooses to die as long
as there is anything worth doing that
he can do.
Comrade Schneider may compare
Wayland with Wendell Phillips and
other bitter intolerants IL he sees fit;
but a man who puts him in the same
list with Abraham Lincoln has a sag
under his view point. Lincoln had so
much more to contend with, he did so
much more than Wayland, that there
can be no comparison between the two
men. But Lincoln's mind was broad
- with charity, he erred always on the
side of kindness; he stayed in the fore
front OF the battle for the nations
good until an assassins bullet took
him out; he is honored today with
their own great men by his enemies of
fifty years ago; and it is next to sac
rilege to name him in the same breath
with a man who seldom penned a par
agraph without vitriolic denunciation
OF some one he disagreed with.
