SENATOR FLETCHER

Hon. Duncan U. Fletcher, Florida's
senior United States senator, was in
Ocala all day Wednesday, and during
the day was the recipient of calls
from many of our prominent citizens,
and called on quite a number We
were included among those on whom
he called, and regret very much that
we missed the opportunity of seeing
him.
The senator and Mr.. z. C.. Cham
bliss were school boys together in
Georgia, and Mr.. Chambliss went
around with him and introduced him
to a number of his friends.
Mr.. Fletcher has been senator for
six years, having defeated the late
Governor Broward in a very holly con-
tested campaign.
1t is with considerable state pride
to say that he has taken quite prom
inent stand in the senate, and has
been appointed on many of the impor-
Itant committees. He was made pres
ident of the committee that made the
tour of Europe to study the rural
credit system which has become so
popular in that country, and which he
is making an effort to have become
part of our financial system.
The fact that Senator Fletcher was
one of the few who voted in favor of
the retention of Senator Lorimer
shows that he has the courage and in
dependence of his convictions, and
entertaining the feelings that we have
often expressed we honor him for it,
for we want a man to be honest with
himself, and in doing so not to be
swayed by popular clamor, and vote
according to the dictates of his own
conscience, even if he has to be in a
hopeless minority in doing so.
We, of course, are sorry that he is
In ant0gonism to the democratic plat
form, and that he differs from the
judgment of the speaker and leader
of the house of representatives and
other able and distinguished states
men and jurists on the Panama canal
tolls matter, but we do not for
moment question his integrity, and
we honor him in voting as his con-
science dictates, If he has no specific
instructions from his constituency to
the contrary.
Senator Fletcher is a most pleasing
speaker; he spoke last night from

Time was when it was considered
honorable to go to war-to offer
oneself as a target and spend his days
trying to murder other men, says the
Fountain Inn Tribune.
But, despite all contrary signs, the
germ idea of a broader civilization is
spreading. and many, many people of
today recognize war as the thing it is
"a crime-a crime of such stupend-
Gus size that there exists no court of
justice of sufficient jurisdiction to
punish it.
If it is crime to murder one man.
it is crime to slay thousand. If it
is crime TO slay in private life. 1t is
crime to slay as a profession. And,
a fact much nearer home, it is crime
to hang or electrocute a murderer.
OF course all of US are potential
murderers. We have tempers, tenn
pers make quarrels, and quarrels
make murderers.
That is so simple a fact that all Of
us can grasp it,
But what can explain the action of
thousands who go forth to battle for
no better reason than that some
two-legged man in high place orders
them to go?
l can think of but one explanation.

On the other hand, several disastrous
developments have been directly trac-
ed to the indiscretions Of chattering
women, who have revealed secrets
wormed from careless minister's gen.

glamorous spell Of their beauty. Obvi-
ously, the women selected for these
delicate diplomatic missions must pos
sess exceptional personal beauty and
accomplishments. They must be cos

Russia swarms with spies-political

suspects and the plots of anarchists

dancing halls, and even in high society
circles. They serve as maids, Wallets,
dOorkeepers, private secretaries, chauf-

nalist is really a spy. Going every

SAY {. c. BENEDICT
BETRAYED FIRM
Rubber Company Sues Him for
s1s5, ooo-Faces $4,000
SANDER Suit, Too.

NEW YORK, July S0.-Commodore
e. C. Benedict, who has taken yacht
ing parties of friends and relatives
to the mouth of the Amazon river on
his yacht, the Oneida, in the past few
years, is defendant in two suits
brought in the Supreme Court. In
one of them he is accused by the Gen
eral Rubber Company, of which he is
a director. of using his supposed
pleasure trips to the Amazon to work
against the interest of his own COM
pany and of inducing the rubber COM
pany's general manager to aid him In
a private rubber enterprise.
The second suit is brought by the
general manager in question, Arnold
y. Hutter, for $4,000 damages for
SANDER and libel because of state
ments by Commodore Benedict accus-
ing Hutter of stealing 100000 and
causing the failure of the private
enterprise in which Commodore Ben
edict and Colgate Hoyt, the banker,
were interested. Hutter has been a
guest on several of the Oneida's trips.
The suit of the General Rubber
Company for 1885, 900. was heard by
Justice Giegerich on a demurrer by
that the suit must be dismissed be-
cause the United States Rubber Com
pany owns all the General Rubber
Company's stock, and the latter is
not the proper party to bring the 1c-
ton.
Justice Giegerich decided against
Commodore Benedict's contention
and permitted him to withdraw his
demurrer and serve an answer If he
wished.
The General Rubber Company
charges that Commodore Benedict
Colgate Hoyt, the banker, who has
been his guest frequently, and Hut
ter purchased for themselves a GER
tain rubber growing and crude rub
Der buying business in Brazil and
the name of e. Levy, which after
ward was merged in the Moju Rub
Der Plantation and Development
Company.
1t is alleged that between Feb
ruary, 1912, and June 1913. Hutter
Incorporated $1S5,000 of the plain
tiff's funds and used it for the bene-
fit of the Moju company and Com
modore Benedict in paying off the
Moju company's obligations.
In Hutter's suit against Commo-
dore Benedict the plaintiff alleges
that on June 10, 1918, in the Office of
the United States Rubber Company
at Fifty-eighth street and Broadway,
the commodore, in the hearing of a
number of persons, said that Hut
ter had robbed the Moju Rubber
Plantations and Development Com
pany of 100000 and that he was de-
faulter to the General Rubber Com
pany of Brazil in over $1S6.000."
