SENATORIAL I:ARMOWY

We know OF no reason why GER
tain newspapers in Florida should be
persistently INDUCING in invidiOus
comment on our two senators in
Washington, apparently seeking to
create the impression that Senator
Bryan is not getting fair deal at
the hands of the press in this State
and that Senator Fletcher employs u
press agent to constantly keep his
boss in the limelight of favorable
publicity.
This is all very absurd and unjus.
and 1t ought to stop. There is no dill
ference in either the principles OF
the policies advocated by our two
senator's in Washington. They are
both good, clean men seeking 70
serve their constituents faithfully.
with no essential difference in ne
cd, and we have never heard or sus-
pected that they are not in entire
harmony in their senatorial duties
In fact. the evidence is just to th,.
contrary. Senator Bryan has moth
Ing on Senator Fletcher in becoming
modesty and the latter is as guiltless
Of press agent rs the former
Senator Fletcher is a considerably
older man than his colleague; Went
to the Senate several years before the
latter did, and with that advantage
In seniority and experience he Sc
cured i prominence in the Senate
and before the country which WAS his
by II hL under the circumstances and
which implies no Encouragement OF
our junior senator. In addition SEN
ator Fletcher is man of very SUI
perior ability and high character and
he had STRONGLY Impressed himself
upon both the Senate and the coun-
try before Mr.. Eryan's election. Sure.
ly that should be put down to his
credit by The people OF Florida and
they should and do take a Just pride

Senator Bryan has his opportun.

his colleague; he has fine, engag-
ing nality, youth, ambition and
talent; and with both senators work

there is no just reason why that har-

tous criticism in the rear seeking to
put them in an attitude Of quasi hos
tility to each other, which might re-
suit in two perfectly unnecessary and
illogical factions in Florida Democ-

How Has the Southern Farmer Benefited By
Recent National Legislation?

more for these articles than they did
last year. The bill was delayed so
long in the~Senate that the jobbers
were obliged to place their orders at
the old TRUST prices and advanced
prices at that. This delay played d.
rectly into the hands of the TRUST,
and it can not be denied. Did Sena-
tor Smith raise any question as to
this? Why did he not?
Last year the farmers of Georgia
paid for bagging (six yards for bale
of cotton) Sc cents. They paid for
ties for one bale of cotton % cents,
making rs cents per bale
This year they paid 80 cents per
bale for bagging and Is cents for ties,
making $1.15 per bale. Take Is
from $1.15 and you have ST cents per
bale lost to our farmers, without
counting the reduction that would
have resulted from placing these arti-
cles on the free list. This reduction
when added to the 1913 advanced
price would most like increase the
Georgia farmers loss this year to A
ROUND MILLION DOLLARS. But
say we make 100000 bales this
year-a loss of only 81 cents bale
on bagging and ties would be a loss
of $4,000. If Senator Smith is SO
all powerful in the Senate, why did
he not avoid this most hurtful pro-
cedure? 1t may be that the Fulton
National Bank, Of Atlanta, whose
officers and stockholders have landed
every appointment made by Senator
Smith in North Georgia. and in which
the Senator himself is a large stock
holder, could tell us something about
it.

What is the matter with the Sun
day-schools? Should they strive to
be more entertaining? Should the
"goody-goody" books in their libra
ries be thrown away to make room
for books of heroism and adventure?
Should moving pictures be used to
teach Bible stories? Are the parents
to blame for the children's failure to
graduate from the Sunday-school in
to the church? Somewhere, very evil
IDENTIFY, in the present system there is
a weak place. Is it true that when
children reach the age when they are
pretty much their own masters they
refuse to go to Sunday-school simply
because they were ordered and COM
PEELED to go when they were younger?
Does the fact that little boys and
girls are made to attend every Sun
day cause them to welcome the APP
proach of the time when they can,
without fear Of punishment, refuse
to- go? The churches have big

ANOTHER
CATION.

The National Protestant League
and the Women's National Protest
ant League, with headquarters in
Sioux City, Iowa, announce their or
ganiZation and incorporation under
the laws of the State Of Iowa. They
are non-sectarian and non partison.
The work has opened up in most
satisfactory manner and they are al
ready receiving inquiries from prac-
tically every State in the Union.
They are putting out organizers, and
expect to organize Local Councils in
every town in the United States.
The Women's National Protestant
League is, so far as we know, the
only patriotic organization now in
existence in the United States for
women exclusively, and it is arous-
ing just the interest that such an
organization would naturally be ex-
pected to arouse among the Protest
ant hOme-makers Of this Nation
The objects Of the organizations,
as set forth in the principles"
thereof are similar, and take for their
foundation the First Amendment to
the Constitution Of the United
States; they also state specifically
that they believe in Free Speech,
