JONES DEFENDS JAN

Charlie Jones in Dixie defends his
home city against the accusation of
political greediness as follows:

up the fight against Jacksonville,
which some Jacksonville politician,
who befouls his own nest, usually
starts and which is to create preiu-
dice against Jacksonville in every

da man, secretary of state who is
a west Florida citizen. The commits
sioner of agriculture, treasurer,
comptroller, state chemist attorney
general, acknowledgement and all the
members of the railroad commission
and its attorney are men who do not
live in Jacksonville. The great pa
trOnage pie when it was cut by the
government furnished no slice to a
Jacksonville man. Every appoint
ment given out by the governor (and
there were many of them have been
handed out to men who did not live
in Jacksonville. When Uncle Sam
was ready to do stunts at the pie
counter he gave Senators Fletcher
and Bryan the knife and the result
was as follows: Collector of inter-
nal revenue went to Mariana, col
lector of customs to Apalachicola,
United States attorney to Tampa and
the United States marshal is to go to
Lakeland. Thus, when people think
it is perfectly plain that when it
comes to state or federal pie, the
rest of the state has Jacksonville
beat a mile. OF course the talk about
Jacksonville getting everything is
only to deceive the ignorant, as Jack
sonville hasn't had a look in in state
offices and Fletcher and Bryan have
both turned Jacksonville men down
just because they are Jacksonville
men. The talk about Jacksonville
however, usually comes from a Jack
sonville man who is usually prompt
ed by some political scheme"

SWIMMING ON SUNDAY

Governor Major of Missouri, says
Homer Croy in Golfers, says that
the happiest days of his life were
when he was boy on a farm and
ran away, swimming. Sunday after
noon.
| have been a boy on a farm and
have run away, swimming, Sunday

truth keeps me from saying that
these were the happiest days of my
boyhood.
One Sunday l invited two boys to

We boys wandered out to the
creek. We looked into the cool
depths of the water, but we couldn't
see any yellow jaundice. We felt
that it had been a backward season
for yellow jaundice, and that proba-
bly, all the spawn had been killed
For some reason or other l forgot
all about what pa had said, and in a

SENATOR KERN EXPRESSED
THE PROPER SENTIMENT

The following from Golfers
Weekly is interesting just at this
time:
Senator John w Kern of Indiana
incorporated in the Congressional
Record some extracts from a speech
made to the republican editorial as
sociation of Indiana by former Vice
President Fairbanks:
Il have no doubt that the dis
turbances in Mexico during the last
few years have been due in a great
er or less degree to an effort on the
part of ambitious, cunning men to
force Intervention and possibly an
nexation to the United States. The
exploiters of public utilities and of
the mineral and agricultural re-
sources of our neighbor have I'M
doubleday thought that they would
gain much if they could force inter-
yention by the United States There
are soldiers of fortune in Mexico who
would undoubtedly welcome such a
contingency.
''If our spectators in Mexico suf-
fer pecuniary loss as the result of
recurring revolutions, that is a mat
ter for future consideration, when
stable government and peace are full
ly established in that country 1t is
not warrant for shedding the blood
of Americans. To sacrifice the life
Of one soldier for all of the dollars
investors or spectators have ventur-
ed in Mexico would be the supremest
criminal folly"
Nearly all that need be said on the
80 O. wisdom in respect to the
Mexican situation is embodied in
these words of Mr. Fairbanks. The
Americans who have property in
Mexico acquired it because they
hoped for big gains. Just because
Mexico is a less stable country than
the United States, money invested
there can usually make larger spe-
culative profits. 1t was for these
profits that the Spectators in lands,
mines, and public utilities went in.
If they had been content with ordi-
nary profits they could have invest
ed their money at home under a sta
BILE government. They took a long
chance to make big profits. Now
that the chance has gone against
them they are not game. They want
the United States government to
help them out.
One Senator
Senator Albert B. Fall, of New
Mexico is the war eagle of Congress.
A newspaper in his home state, the
Albuquerque Journal" says of him:
Senator Fall doesn't want peace
in Mexico. He was against Diaz and
for Madero until Madero won he
was against Madero and for Orozco
until Madero was overthrow and
killed; he is against Huerta and for
Carranza now. Senator Fall is for
rebellion in Mexico. Why?"
The Nashville Democrat is
probably correct when it answers
this Interrogation by pointing out
that the senator's Mexican mines
would be worth ten times as much
under an American protectorate.
