A VOTE FOR TIE GOOD MOTHERS

In a copyrighted editorial in the
Georgia News Briefs. the writer asks:
"Was your mother unfit to vote? If
she was, we are sorry for you!" con
Guiding with the statement: Women
ought to vote. and they will vote. The
man who opposes woman suffrage dis
graces himself, and he indirectly casts
reproach upon his own mother and
upon the other women that he has
known. If you have been unfortunate
enough to have a mother unfit to vote,
keep your mouth shut, and let others
more fortunate than yourself give
votes to the good mothers of this
country"

Appreciation of Mrs. John c. Ley,
Now in Her Eighty-fourth Year
And Still Active

Among the citizens OF Arcadia
whom all delight to honor is Mrs.
John c. Ley, whose husband died in
jacksonville about eight years ago.
/ She anu her venerable husband cele-
brated their golden wedding in Mica
nopy about ~ years before his death
Several hundred old friends visited
them on that occasion and il many
ways paid high tribute to their honor
and long period Of Christian service.
Her husband helped to organize the
! Florida annual conference of the
Methodist church in the long ago, and
afterwards organized the first Meth
odist churches in Ocala, Palatka,
Tampa and many other cities then
villages.
Mrs Ley labored side by side with
her husband through these years, and,
having spent much of her early life
! in New Haven, Conn, where she re-
ceived her education. never complain
ed of her lot in this, then. new field
of endeavor.
To her and her husband belongs
much credit for higher education in
the early days of our commonwealth.
Coming to Florida in 1915, a few
years were spent in the regular work
of the ministry and in about 1856 Mr..
Ley took charge of the East Florida
Seminary. then located at NicanOpy.
In this he was assisted by his wife,
who had charge of the department of
English, and boarded the girls and
young ladies who were in attendance.
1t is not easy to finance an institution
of learning of this kind now, and then
it was still more difficult. The coun-
try. being sparsely settled, the sup
port of the school fell on but few
! Only those who bore the burdens of
those days know how heavy they
were.
Mr.. Ley put into the seminary what
little salary he mad and MS Wlfe put
"hat she MADE III boarding the girls
Iof the school, and also little over
three thousand dollars that her faith
er mad given her Tor her personal use.

WASHINGTON SUGAR LOBBY is
STRICTLY BUSINESS PROPOSITION

to charge consumers what they please,
can well afford to spend few hun
dreds of thousands in the form of
$1,000 a month salaries to slick
tongued lobbyists, If by doing so they
can prevent their monopolies and prof
its from being interfered with.
To hear the wall now going up from
the $1,000 a month men, one would
imagine Congress had not given the
sugar people any opportunity what
ever to be heard. The fact Is a COM
mittee of twenty-one members Of the
House Of Representatives-th Ways
and Means Committee-sat in sesr
sion for weeks listening to the argu-
ments of those desiring protection. The
sugar people were permitted to say
any and everything they desired. The
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee sat somewhat as court. They
considered all the testimony, and then
brought in their verdict in the form
of the Underwood Bill. After having
had a fair deal in open court, the sugar
trust is now trying to win as usual
by the underhanded method of ap-
preaching members of Congress in
private, and working in the dark.
The peoplt are at disadvantage in
the face of this kind of warfare be-
cause they have no knowledge Of the
pressure and kind Of arguments
brought to bear on Congressman by
special privilege, nor lobbyists to pre-
sent the viewpoint of the consumers
or to disprove the false statements
which may be poured into the Con
gressmens' ears by the able and re
sourceful representatives of the sugar
trust.
