TR0T OUT YOUR NEW PARTY

The Zolfo Truth, very ardent adj
vocate of one of the alleged factions
in Florida politics, and probably dis
gusted with what happened to its
particular faction in a recent sena-
torial election in this State, comes
right out in the open and declares
for two separate and distince par
ties in Florida, meaning apparently
division of the Democratic party.
We know of no vital issues in this
State now dividing the dominant
party and in the absence of such is
sues We can conceive of no reason for
such a rupture as is contemplated by
the Zolfo Truth; nor, indeed, can we
imagine how it would be practicable
to form two parties out of the pres
ent Democratic organization. Will
, the Truth please tell us what are the
tissues entirely at variance" which
it says have created two factions in
the party.
We saw no signs of them in the
recent campaign nor in the primary
which preceded it, and, going back
to the senatorial contest between
Fletcher and Stockton, the only"vital
issue" We could discover in it which
operated to divide the two gentle
men was of purely personal char
acter chiefly related to the matter OF
getting the most votes. Fletcher had
the endorsement of the president OF
the United tSates, the leader Of the
national Democracy, and he got by
a very large majority, the endorse
ment of the Democratic party OF
Florida. That seems to make him a
regular and not mere fractional
leader. But let the Truth organ
lie and equip its new party and put
1t in the field for action. We shall be
glad to look it over and even give it
welcome. for we agree with our con-
temporary that only one party in the
State is not good for political health
and Is conducive to stagnation and
even malaria at times. But condi-
tions here, for which the Democratic
party is not responsible seem to make
1t impracticable, for it has been tried
before and failed. At any rate the
party in power will offer no objec-
tion and put no obstacle in the way
The Truth says:
ut 10 a we'll known fact that the
Democratic party in Florida has been
divided into factions, each faction
fighting for issues entirely at vari-
ance. For that reason we advocate
the forming Of two distince and sep
arate parties, letting each one place
Its issues squarely before the people.
Politics, as now played in Florida is
little less than farce. A nomina-
ton at the primaries is equal to an
election. IF We are to have only one
party, why not do away entirely with
the general election and qualify
those who are nominated at the pri-
maries?"

Charles q. Barrett Tells Why Federal
Power Should Como to Help of
Farmers.

To the American People:
During the ten years that have
been representing the National Farm
ers' Union. In every question which I
have discussed. dealing with the inter-
ests Of the farmers, and therefore
contributory to the interests of all
the people. have always striven with
my utmost strength to tell the exact
truth.
During these arduous ten years I
have met with great encouragement
from the newspapers of the country
In my work, and desire now to express
my gratitude to them for the loyal
support have received from the
great majority. even though at times.
here and there, some timid editor has
been fearful that l would 60 too far.
At times. 1t has been my duty to call
the farmers attention to the fact that
his business interests were affected,
In large measure, by legislation at
washington; and In so doing, have
been compelled to criticise some of
the measures Of past administrations.
have not hesitated. when the truth
demanded 1t. to say that efforts were
Intentionally made to deceive the
farmers.
new occasion has arisen which
imperatively demands from me that
shall tell you the exact truth, in so
far as am able. One-third Of the
farmers OF the United States. living in
the cotton and tobacco belts, are face
to face today with bankruptcy through
no fault OF their own. They have rails
cd normal crops. and for several years
past these normal crops have been
easily taken care Of by the world, il
not Mt big prices. at least at prices
which have enabled the farmer to
live. The great cataclysm OF war,
which has involved the greater part
Of Europe. In one day entirely dis
located the business of the world, and
has placed these cotton and tobacco
farmers In n condition of the extrem-
its peril which has threatened them

shipping facilities across the waters.

the American farmers, whatever their
particular speciality may be have ever
called for charity from the govern
ment. When I use the word help"
here, 1 mean that government can
furnish the resources which will tide
these men over a critical situation,
and government will receive back it's
money with interest.
What Is to be said of a government
which, faced by a situation of this
kind. can do nothing to relieve It ex-
cept o food of talk, deceptive prom
ises, and an inadequate dribble of dol.
lars put out through the medium Of
middle men, who must have their
toll, and liberal toll at that, before
even that inadequate dribble can be
used.
l leave the matter with you. 1 can
only hope that the hardships through
which we are doomed to pass in the
near future will awaken our producers
to a closer investigation and greater
watchfulness than they have exercis-
ed in the past. and will not pin their
faith quite so strongly to the PROM
ises Of smooth politicians-for we do
not seem to have an over-production of
statesmen. G.. s. Barrett.

and the urgent need OF foodstufrs.
our farmers who are producers Of
foodstuffs can look forward to ad-
equate relief in the near future. Not
SO with the cotton and tobacco grow
ers. All Of the working capital and
the credit Of these two classes have
been invested in the seasons crops,
and they are confronted with the to-
tai absence Of a market; the inability
to sell at any price; and the inability
TO secure such measure Of relief from
credit agencies as will tide them over.
In all our history there has been
no like situation-therefore our great
financial authorities. our treasury de-
partment and our government (Which
seems unable to move unless it can
find a precedent) are at sea. There
is but one power in this country
which can relieve the situation ade-
quately, and If the congress had been
big enough and wise enough to grasp
the gravity Of this situation, and it's
meaning to the future welfare of our
people. 1t would have instantly utiliz.
ed the credit of the American govern
ment to the extent of at least three
hundred million dollars. and taken off
the market q sufficient amount of cot
ton to be held until conditions become
normal in Europe. This would have
steadied the situation so that the re.
mainder would have been sold in
American markets, IL not at a re-
price. at least at cost price.

CHAPTER vi.

If the Eagle Tail mine had been To-
down in Old Mexico-the method Of
jumping the claim would have been
delightfully."- simple.
The title had lapsed, and the land
had reverted to the governmental
1t needed in Arizona was new set Of
monuments, location notice at the
discovery shaft, pick and shovel
thrown into the hole, and a few legal
formalities.
But in Mexico it is different. Not
that the legal formalities are lacking
far from it-but the whole theory Of
mines and mining is different. In Mex
leo a mining title is, in way, lease,
a concession from the general gov
ernment giving the concessionnaire
the right to work certain piece of
ground and to hold it as long as he
pays a mining tax of three dollars an
acre pear year.
But no final papers or patents are
ever issued, the possession of the sur
face of the ground does not 60 with
the right to mine benath it, and In cer-
tain parts of Mexico no foreigner can
hold title to either mines or land.
A prohibited or frontier zone, eighty
kilometers in width, lies along the In
ternational boundary line, and in that
neutral zone no foreigner can de-
nounce a mining claim and no foreign
corporation can acquire title to one.
The Eagle Tail was just inside the
zone
But-there is always "but" when
you go to a good lawyer-while for
purposes of war and national safety
foreigners are not allowed to hold land
along the line, they are at perfect lib
erty to hold stock in Mexican corpora
tions owning property within the pro-
hibited zone; and-here is where the
graft comes in-they may even hold
title in their own name if they first
obtain express permission from the
chief executive of the republic.
Not having any drag with the chief

SURE TO GET MIXED, ANYWAY
HoteIkeeper's Reasoning Settled All
Argument About Clean Plate
for the Drummer.

The drummer from New York was
making his first trip through Maine
and had travelled up into the Aroos-
took region, whe-e the towns are
small and far aasrt and the chief prod
ucts potatoes Tnd Christmas trees.
Here he stepped over night in a
hamlet that possessed merely a very
primitive inn. Al dinner there was
no soup, but he way served with fish.
Then instead Of his plate being
changed the waitress came with a
platter of meat and placed generous
helping carefully on one side Of the
fish bones. The drummer did not balk
at that, for he was very hungry and
ready to pass over almost anything
for the sake of a good meal, and he
though it might be the regular Maine
style
Presently, however, the girl brought
in another platter full Of pieces of pie
and one of these she slid off on the
same plate Then the traveller thought
it time to call a halt, for he had not
yet become used to pie with fish
flavor.
The serving maid was bit uncer-
tain whether he could have the clean
plate he requested and called the
landlord in, to whom the guest eH-
planned his trouble. The host listened
attantively, but when the drummer
finished he withered that modest New
