Editor Palatka News:

In your paper published Novem.

ter. The interview published in the
Ilmes-Union, to which you refer, was
given at the request of the Editor OF
Cnat paper. The Times Union in a
recent editorial, which | assume Won
must have read, said that the Presi-
dents Mexican policy, or rather the
lack of it, has proven to be a flat
failure. May | ask why you do not
attack the Times Union? Do | un-
derstand that the Times Union is so
obscure as to make it a nonentitv &?
Does its opinion amount to nothing &?
| hope you will kindly permit me
to suggest that the abuse of political
opponents will not aid your cause
nor the Administration, which vour
paper obviously intends to support,
right or wrong. The Progressives
IN Florida have the greatest admira-
ton for President Wilson. He car

which IS trying to run in a different
direction. But even great men make
mistakes and upon consideration, |
thlhk you will agree that abuse and
intolerance in editorial expression bv
administration organs will not serve
to abate legitimate criticism nor con-
vince fair-minded men of the infalli-
blllty of the administration.

Speaking of nonentities, has it
ever occurred to you that there NAV

IS, and you might as we'll admit it,
that the Administration at Washing

Should Cooperate With Local Organi.

Pensacola Journal; All Florida should
work together. That is proposition
SO true as TO be trite. What helps one
section of the state helps another sec
ton, TO greater or less extent. But ii is
moi natural nor desirable for any section
to work harder for another than for
its own.
Each Florida town, as il develops it..
self, aids in The development OF its sec.
ton and thus builds up the state, and
any section that would seek to depre-
cafe or dcCry another section of the
state, is pulling against instead of for
state development.
But, while every commercial aSSocia-
ton in the state should be and is inter
eSted in state development, it it is wo k

Association, ii has plenty of work cui

Col. Clarence E. Wood editor Of
the Eustis Lake Region is doing
some rejoicing this week and the
press and people of all Florida are
due to share in his happiness. The
bond election in Lake county last
Tuesday at which a bond issue oi
100000 was at stake for the pur-
pose of building good roads through
out the county, was carried by a
majority of over 200. This means
that Lake county, home of the Eus-
tbs Lake Region, has in one long,
running jump, leaped to the fore
front of progressive counties in
Florida, and that the ambition and
desire and springing ability was in
jected by Col. Wood. One-half mil
lion dollars! That's a lot of money,
and it will build a system of hard
roads in Lake county that will make
1t the wonder and pride of the en-
tire south.

the procession by voting by an over

way he expressed it in his characteris-

The pistol toter is dyeing our coun-
try red with the blood of his fellow
man" said the recorder. The time has
come when law abiding citizens and the
courts must call a halt on this deadly
practice of carrying a concealed pistol.
Our whole country is being shocked by
wholesale slayings and other revolving
crimes
The record of crime right here in
our own Southland is enough to bring
the blush of shame to the faces of all
peace-loving citizens and to arouse
them to popular protest for the en-
forcement of law"
The recorder showed by statistics
that the United States leads over all
other nations of the world in the mat
ter of blooGshed and crime
Value of Life SIumps.
The valuation on human life in this
country has slumped to an alarming de-
gree" he said.
Human life appears to have come to
