A Be1ated Alibi

DR.. Stephen Langdon, professor OF
Assiriology in Oxford University, and
who has been studying an ancient Sum-
erian tablet the past year in the Univer-
sity Museum of Philadelphia. says:
"It wasn't Adam and Eve who tell; it
was Noah. There was no apple, nor Gar
den Of Eden.
"What Noah did was to eat some of
the fruit of the cassia tree in the Garden
of Paradise. AS a punishment for his
appetite he was cursed with i'll health and
decreed an early death.
An early death in those days meant
that he wouldn't live to be fifty thousand
years old like his ancestors
1.-The tablet he says, lis at least one
thousand years older than Genesis, and
is the oldest record of the sort in exist
ence"
1t is rather late in the day to at
tempt an abb for Adam and Eve and lay
the blame of the sinfulness of the human
race on poor Noah, who, so far as it is
known. was a good citizen, an excellent.
shipbuilder and an accomplished sailor
Whatever may be said of Noah. he knew
enough to get in out of the wet and thus
showed his perspicuity far beyond his
contemporaries who scoffed at his ship
building operations and couldn't see that
it was going to be much of shower.

he can fill his tank with gasoline and
himself with alcohol and get away with
the combination. But it can't be done"

Hardwick Does Things

| Hardwick did great stroke when it
took on the Chautauqua Redpath System
last week. 1t required enterprise and
push to bring this about. but when it is
known that twentv-one irst-class enter
tainments were given for the nominal
SUM of So 90 the community had the best
of the bargain. The entertainments were
every one of them OF high class and
there was brought before the people of
that place a series of as fine entertain
ments as one could wish. Hardwick has
already made a substantial move for
repetition of these entertainments next
summer and we trust that the example
set by the granite town will be conta.
gious and reach over into Lamoile coun-
ty. The entertainments which are a
novelty in the Eastern states are instruc-
tive, elevating and amusing and are good
for any community.

In the writer's judgment, brick has
no legitimate place on Florida coun-
try roads 1t the present time; nor
will it have until the population of
the State is ten times what it is TO-
day. When the wonderful natural
resources of the State shall have
been developed; when its arabic lands
shall be under full cultivation; when
its capacity for production and enter
tainment shall have reached half their
possibilities, perhaps a few main
roads of brick may be justifable.

equate, and ruinous to the best inter-
ests of Florida.-Charles E. Foote,

the carcasses of past slain G nera-
tions.
The great Austrian population of
Trieste and the neighboring provinces
cannot by their enforced slavery now
atone for the wrongs Austria infiict-

credit. Having escaped so far from

she would be hard pressed to discover
an excuse for coming in at the

the death, the better to part the gar

no one would believe a single one of
her excuses, excepting the one that

That Italy should be armed and
ready for self-defense in her present
juxtaposition to the raging conflict is
only prudent. But that her wise
statesmen and the apostle of peace
in the Vatican should have difficulty
in restraining her brutal, reyengeful,
self-seeking, cowardly jingoists (ev-
cry nation has them), attests anew
the horror of wars contagion. Less

Reasons of Politicians.

Our two Representatives at Talla-
hassee, Hons Newton and Griffin
placed themselves squarely on rec
ord on the Davis bill, as they did on
the submission act as favorable to
both. Our Senator Donegan sup
ported the act to submit a prohibi-
tion amendment to the people, but
was one of the eleven to vote against
the Davis restrictive act.
Politicians, as we'll as statesmen
have queer reasons for some of their
acts and votes.
Senator Davis would not let the
people say whether there should be
prohibition or saloon regulation, but
he introduced and put through the
senate bill, the like of which, in its
drastic regulation has never before
been heard of.
On the other hand, Senator Done
gan voted for the bill to let the peo-
pie decide, but voted against the bill
to have the legislature decide. Sem
ator Davis evidently believes in 10
cal government" and would not per-
NIT the people of the State to say
INV lIlC CLGLG SHUulu pe EDNGEHGu.
Still, as representative of the peo-
pie he proceeded to govern with a
high hand.
Senator Donegan evidently believes
in the whole people deciding the is
sues of the State, bit wouldn't turn
his hand to help regulate the whis-
key traffic himself.
Senator johnson, said to be the son
of Methodist preacher, eating of
the bread of the body that is against
the saloon and stands for prohibition,
sends out a loud screed explaining
and defending his vote against sub
to the people.
Senator Zim, disciple of the labor
ing man, doesn't want the laboring
mans morals protected bv the legis-
lature, but does want every other
sort of protection.

Business Men For L. S. Senate.

Mill Supplies, monthly journal
"of quality" devoted to the interests
of jobbers and manufacturers of mill
steam, mine and machinery supplies
published in Chicago, has in its num-
Der for the current month an able ar
ticle under the above heading by e.

below:
we are credibly informed that the
Honorable Perry G. Wall, of Tampa,
Florida, has been prevailed upon by
his hosts of friends to enter the race
for the United States Senate. We
hope the report is true.
THE writer has often said that the
business men of this nation should
arouse themselves from the lethargic
attitude they have assumed through
out the political history of this coun-
try and help TO place solid b4siness
men in Congress.
A large part of the woes COM
planned OF by the people Of this coun-
try may be traced to the iniquitous
Legislation, or lack Of proper laws,
emarating from Washington. 1t is
high time for the acrobatic buffoons.
who have swarmed for decades about
the halls Of Congress, to retire and
give the people chance.
The people Of this nation should
run the government through represen-
tativeS, in stead of misrepresenta-
tiveS, as they have often learned
when it was too late to remedy the
mistake. They never will get a
square deal until the lawyers and spe-
cial inereStS grafters are cleaned out
of Congress. They have lied TO the
people who gave them political pres
lge and there are only 4 few hundred
OFT of thousands that lave graced
the halls of Congress with their pres
ence in the last fifty years, who can
point with pride to an unblemished po-
itical record, while they were pre-
tending to represent a tolerant con-
stituency.
This is business country and we
need business men at Washington to
represent the commercial interests Of
this great nation. We are the COM
mercially supreme nation of tie world
and it behooves the people of this
country TO place business men at the
head Of the affairs Of this nation so
that We may forge ahead and grasp
even grander opportunities than now
seem possible to this fortunate placed
land.

ness man who has not only been very

Editor j. H. Reese of the Orlando
Reporter-Star spent a day or two in
Tallahassee recently, on the principle,
as he puts it, "that it is good to get
away from ones own baliwick for a
time and get the point of view of
others" Mr.. Reese was not strong
admirer of the Davis bill; that trip
to Tallahassee has changed his
view, somewhat. He now says:
"The Davis package bill is
about the most discussed piece of
legislation that has. passed this
session, and the views concern
ing it are varying. But the IL
quor men themselves have the
most correct view of the proba-
bic effects of the measure. A
liquor man told me that the bill
would ruin his business. He
said he was paying $4,000 a
year rent and would have to
close up after October 1st. He
doesn't think the package bust
mess will be sufficient to pay ex-
penses. The profits of the drink
business, he says, are in the
sales across the bar; the pack
age business is not profitable"

THE DIVINITY OF KINGS.

AS nation, from our president
down, we are trying desperately to
remain neutral, and in this condition
of would-be neutrality, it is interest
ing to read the comments of neu'
trail princess, the 1nfanta Eulalia Of
Spain, on the kaiser and the German
court life. The opening chapter Of
her memoirs. "Cabbages and Kings,
appeared in the April number of The
Century:
l had known him years before
as Prince Wilhelm, simple, unaf-
fected, joyous. Then he became
crown prince, and l noted a
change. His manner became
more imperious, less spontaneous.
l felt that he was schooling him
self, holding himself in check,
aware of the burden of coming
responsibilities, fearing, yet long
ing for, the golden irksomeness
of the imperial crown. Since he
has assembled the throne | have
never met him without realizing
that he is dominated by the be- %
lief that he is an instrument in
the hands of the Almighty, di-
vinely APPOINTED to reign. As he
conferred orders and decorations
on the stream of men who hIm-
bly, approached his throne at the
Ordenfest | could see from their
reverence, and from the look of
awe on tt cir faces, that his man
ner, his regal pose, his glance,
had forced them to accept his
own belief in the majesty and
righteousness of kingship.

THE LUSITANIA HORROR.

II
A British coronor's jury has found
that the sinking by German sub
marine of the Cunarder, Lusitania,
last Friday with its more than twelve
hundred human lives, was an ap-
palling crime committed contrary to
international law and the conventions
of all civilized nations;" it also
charges that "the officers of said
submarine and the emperor and gov
ernment of Germany, under whose or
ders they acted, are guilty of whole
sale murder before the tribunal of
the civilized world
This does not over-state the case.
1t was the appalling crime of the
century, thus far. The great majori-
ty of lives lost were of non-combat-
ants, men, women and children.
Their slaughter was without efforts
at rescue, and was contrary to in
ternational LAWN times of peace.
But these are times of war, and
international law and the conventions
do not seem to play a very conspicu-
Gus part in this war, In fact inter-
national law seems to have been
more honored in the breach than in
the observance by all the belligerent
nations.
On the 7th of February Germany
gave notice to the civilized nations of
the world that on the 18th Of that
month it would draw war zone
around the British Isles, and that it
would, with submarines, attempt to
destroy British commerce.
Since that day German sub-ma-
rines have destroyed twenty-nine YES
sells engaged in carrying contraband
of war.
The Lvsitania was loaded with war
munitions and other contraband
freight. 1t is presumed that Ger
many had information concerning the
nature of its cargo.
But the great body of passengers
felt secure in spite of German warn
ings. They reasoned that this great
ship with its water-tight comp srt
ments was bomb-proof.
Some three weeks ago an English
gentleman who had passed the winter
in Putnam county, started for New
York, intending to sail about the mid
die of May for England. Asked if
he didn't think he was taking a big
risk, he replied: "No more than in
starting on a trip from here to Jack
sonville."
Nothing more was said. To engage
in an argument with man holding
such opinions is worse than useless.
Perhaps he has changed his mind
by this time.
Submarines and bomb-dropping
airships and some of the other de-
vises used in this European conflict
are new in modern warfare, but all
the nations have them-and they are
all using them Germany seems to
have had the better success.
That the United States will do more
than to denounce Germany for its
inhuman slaughter Of non-combatants,
is not likely. Germany served this
government due notice Of its purpose
to crush British trade in contraband
war materials. 1t served notice to
all nations whose people would take
pleasure trips under the British flag,
1t warned them against s1ch trips.
In spite Of this warning a great
many Americans have gone to their
death. They did not realize the full
meaning Of war.
