THE FAIRFIELD PICNIC

Saturday at Fairfield, the candi-

to the voters, each insisting that he
was the man for the place About
500 people were present and the
strictest attention was given the
speakers. Mr.. NJ. l.. Payne was
chairman of the day and he, himself
an eloquent speaker, introduced the
candidates in a pleasing manner. The
dinner, which is the stan that has
been the main assistance of the
candidates during the past strenuous
weeks, was one of the best yet.
The crops around Fairfield are
cut short by the dry weather. The
cabbage crop is almost failure,
while beans and cukes will be about
so per cent. The prices are good
which makes the farmers regret
more that there is no more to ship.
Melon shipments will begin this
week. There is a large acreage but
short crops.

SEND HIM BACK TO THE SENATE

The Star was sorry to hear some
mistaken people sheer at Senator
Fletcher, on account of $4,000
being cut out of the Oklawaha i'm
provement appropriation in the
rivers and harbor bill by the Senate
committee, and argue that the action
of the committe was good reason to
vote against him.
| 1t is the very opposite. AS will be
seen by his telegram elsewhere. Sen
ator Fletcher is alive to the situa-
ton, will do all in his power (and his
power is CONSIDERABLY to restore the
appropriation to the full size of the
estimate made by the engineers.
There is not the least doubt that
| Mr.. Fletcher will do his best for the
! bill, whether he is elected OR not,
but in case he is not, he will not
have as much weight with the other
senators as he will if he is. They,
like other men, reckon more on flu
ture help than past service.
So let every man in this part of
the county who desires the Oklawaha
appropriation in full force, vote for
Senator Fletcher. If his influence
should be decreased. by defeat
enough to prevent his helping to re-
store it's full amount, it would be a
setback from which it would take all
the OklaWah section two years to
recover.
It is not fair to find fault with
Senator Fletcher for being here in
Florida looking after his campaign
instead of remaining in Washington.
He is only doing Whct any other man
in his position would do, and what
Mr.. Stockton will be doing six years
from now, if he is nominated tomor-
row.
Besides, it isn't likely that Senator
Fletcher could have prevented the
committee report if he had been in
Washington. 1t must be remember
ed that Senator Bryan is in Wash
ington, and has been there constant
ly, and while Nat. Bryan is the
least advertised senator of the entire
ninety-six, he is continually on the
job.
This argument for Senator Fetch
er's denomination also applies to that
of Congressman Sparkman, and the
Star hopes it will be duly considered
by all first district voters whom it
reaches in time.

WHAT WILSON is TRYING
TO DO IN MEXICO

TO DO IN MEXICO
The principal cause for trouble in
Mexico is the land law, which keeps
the common people ground down to
the earth; consequently, discomfort
ed and mutinous, and ready to fol-
low every sheol-raising leader who
comes along.
The lands of Mexico were taken
by the conquerors and held by them
to the people by the revolution, they
were again, in the course of few
years, taken from them by the money
lenders. Diaz in his early days part
1y righted this wrong, but in the
later ones he went over to the mon
eyed men as completely as any Span
ish viceroy stayed by the crown, and
the condition of the Mexicans was
worse than it had been since the
days of Montezuma.
It was the aim of Madero to set
this wrong right, but he was not the
strong man needed for the task
Hence his murder and the revolution
of Carranza and Villa.
The two latter will certainly win,
but the question is, will they have
the wisdom and the strength to do
away with the fundamental evil.
What President Wilson wants is
not confiscation and division. He
wants the people of Mexico to have
their own land to live on and an OPP
portunity to keep it.
Mr.. Wilson wants the government
OF Mexico to restore their fair pro-
portion of the land to the common
people, the peon class, and pass a
law exempting it from seizure for
debt.
Such law would not do in Am
erica, or any other civilized country.
Here We have no peasant class. The
farmer or mechanic is also a business
man. He generally borrows in order
to make improvements. The farmer
mortgages his farm to buy more
land, or do better work with what he
has. A law that would prevent his
doing SO would be greatly in his way
and in the way of all other business.
The Mexican peon borrows money
TO buy mescal and avoid work. Under
the present system, he will ever be
either a slave or an anarchist, on the
verge of starvation or a menace to
life and property.
A similar condition of affairs pre-
vailed in India and Egypt before the
British took charge, with the differ
ence that the peasantry of those
countries were so crushed by thou
sands of years of subsection that
they had not spirit for a revolution.
The English have passed laws ex-
empting the land of every peasant in
British India and Egypt, also his
farming tools, from seizure for debt.
This does not prevent the peasant
from borrowing money on his crops,
thereby giving him chance for i'm
provement, or standby against dis
aster-but his land and tools he can
not mortgage.
The wise ones of this country may
argue against the practicability of
this policy. But it has been in sue
cessful operation in Egypt for TWEEN
ty-five years; in India twice as long.
1t is no use for any government
to undertake the task of providing
for the people. 1t will always make
their last state worse than their first.
But every government can give its
people firm foothold to stand on
while they work out their own saliva
ton. and this is what Wilson wants
to do for Mexico.
