TALLAHASSEE NOW, AND THEN
albert Williamson in Jackson Vile
F1oridian.)

We don't like to go to Tallahassee
any more. Just as soon as we pos
sibly can, we beat it and get away.
We miss old Doctor Crawford, for
so many years Secretary of State. He
would at all times tell you the truth
land that's what we call man."
What's the use of any man lying
to any human being save his own
wife, Any gentleman will do that.
All gentlemen lie to their wives.
Their wives love to catch them in
lies.
Now, as q matter of fact, the edi-
tor of this paper went to Tallahassee
last Sunday to see his own wife. In
cidentally. we dropped into the
House Of Representatives. We
, didn't know ten per cent of the
members of that most august as
semblage. We didn't mind that SO
much. But the part of the whole
thing that just stung us to the quick
was the fact that those members we
didn't know, looked and acted as
though they didn't care to know us.
Modesty is virtue, becoming in
man and beloved in woman. Every
modest man will shrink from motor
liety. Some mean villain introduced
a resolution giving poor little me"
/ the freedom of the House during
4 ''its stay in Tallahassee"
| After that, we just simply had to
beat it. We never did like too much
| freedom.
! But we started out. to tell why we
didn't like to go to Tallahassee. The
old timers are conspicuous for their
absence. God bless old Doctor Craw-
/ fOrd--Governor Bloxham another
fof Natures Noblemen-George P.
Raney, General Pat Houston, Colonel
/ Robert w. Williams!-All of these
are dead and gone. We miss their
|congenial companionship, and visit
to that dear old spot is fraught with
just as many woes as weals.
| There are many changes that
modern sciences have brought about.
Some thirty-odd years ago, when we
first went there, we had to wade in
red clay mud, shOe-top-deep, with a
negro boy holding lantern to guide
us to our boarding houses. Now,
they have beautifully paved streets :.
A few years ago, they all told us
that the whole town was doomed to
the demnition bow-w0ws because 1t

dominant feature.
Have you been there recently?
Have you seen that college and it,
surroundings? It's worth triI
there to see it. 1t is truly beau

Terriers in st. Louis, and each from
one of Jones' f1rst-string pitchers.
Today's game with St. Louis will
close the visiting of the Whales for
some time and they will be home to-
morrow to stand against the east.
Backed by the enthusiasm Of North
Side crowds, whose loyalty to the
Whales closely approaches the fervoF
with which South Siders support the
Sox, the Whales should continue their
fast clip and set themselves far out
in front before they are again travel
ing.
This bIistering weather is exactly
suited to the arms Of Hendrix, Brown

whom Tinker places his greatest re-
lance, and it is also beneficial to the
muscles of ROllie Zeider, one Of the

Mufling the Hymn of Hate"

The German campaign to muffle the
Hymn of Hate" is interesting; it may
even be significant. But it is not to be
expected that this attitude of considera-
ton for Germany's enemies and thought
for the future can root out remembrance
of the mood which produced Lissauer's
chant, the "Gott strafe England" phrase
and the numerous other indications of a
ration's approval of the general policy of
frightfulness. 1t comes too late.
There is certain ingenious directness
and sincerity in the sentiments of the
hate song quite in keeping with the atti-
tude of Germany's military caste. 1t
came forth spontaneously, famboysntly.
This later depreciation of anything tend
ing to encourage bitterness and hate row
end in the future has all the appearance
of labored effort to rectify a mistake in
tactics AS such, it may signify reali-
cation that second thoughts are best, hut
it will not carry conviction to thousands
on thousands who saw the spirit which in
spired the Hymn of Hate" in the viola
ton of Belgium, the burning Of Louvain,
the bombardment Of the cathedral at
Rheims, the use of gas in trench warfare,
the killing Of non-combatants in Zeppelin
raids and the murder of neutral citizens
by submarines.
The Germany which worked out and
put into effect the policy of frightfulness
may regret the Hymn of Hate" but will
find it hard to live down.

America for Americans.
itor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | do admire your spunk and manli-
ness. Germany isn't going to win this war.
The first year is only the first round, in a
przefght. The world wouldn't be worth liv-
ing in with the German arms victorious, and
what have they accomplished in the first
round? Sail up and down the Bay of New
York, and see the British ships, and think
this is only one great port in the world.
Admit the thoroughness and the ability Of
their forces on land the result for the first
year isn't at all remarkable And consider
the number Of "freemen" who will have to be
killed before they will submit to the mad
power of delirious state
We should be tolerant to a certain extent
with German-Americans They have relatives
and friends on the other side, but the tail
isn't going to wag the dog, and the true
Americans will turn and rend them in case
of real trouble with Germany.
America for Americans" is fair slogan
in these times. For the freedom of the .ndi-
vidual and his right OF speech; for the right
TO put in power the man You want in power;
for the right of the people to declare war as
represented by this government, England and
France, there are millions Of freemen yet
who are rocking on, but would fight before
they would concede an iota of their rights
The German autocracy is doomed and this
is an English-speaking country. A. L. n.

The Restrictionist's Day.

For years the restrictCnist has been
seeking to change the immigration policy
of the United States. He has long desired
to secure an arbitrary reduction of the
volume of immigration. Without having
won in the legislative halls at last he has
his day. The figures for the fiscal year
show that the actual increase in alien
population in that period, thanks to the
war. was only 5000. This was the actual
immigration. While 434 ,244 were admitted,
the number of aliens who departed was
3S4,17l. In no previous year since the
new immigration" set in has the inward
flow been at such a low level. And it is
not difficult to demonstrate that only once
in the year 1S62-within period of at
least seventy years, has the actual immi-
grafton been so small.
Moreover, it is interesting to observe
that those immigrants who are considered
desirable" by the restrictionists, the ma
tives of the countries fronting upon the
Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, gained
in number upon the "unde7.rables." There
WERE roughly speaking, $4,000 more ode
sirable" than undesirable" immigrants
admitted last year. OF those who returned
to Europe the large proportion could be
included in the undesirable" group. 1t
was the undesirable" man who went home
to fight. The most drastic restrictive
legislation could not Great, such a situa-
ton as that in which we now find our
selves. 1t is, indeed, the Iestrichonist's
day.
While there are many who have ex-
pressed oThand the opinion that immigra-
ton will set in again as soon as the war
closes, there are indications that the con-
trary will be true and that the flow will
be only moderate for four or five years
at least. Everything points TO cOntinu-
alton of the war for another year at the
very least. 1t is destroying large num-
bers of men Of the very class that fur
nshes the bulk of the emigrants. Many of
those who survive are likey-to be unable
to pass the physical requil ements of our
laws regulating admission. So far as pos
sible those countries now or which will be
engaged in the great conflict will endeavor
to keep at home those best equipped to aid
in reconstruction.
We can well afford to let proposed legis-
laton changing our policy lie upon the
table for a while, for we now have an
opportunity to study the economic and
social effects of restriction without COM
hitting ourselves either way. At the end
Of five years we shall be in a better posi-
ton than we are now, or ever have been,
to decide what is best for the country.
Then we shall have experience to serve as
guide.

Antichrist Is Come.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Without a doubt, according to Colonel
Roosevelt's ideas, Jesus of Nazareth was the
supreme "mollycoddle" and the war in
Europe to-day the supreme reaction from
his mollycoddle doctrines. Thus we see this
gar is lifting up before the world the reign
of Antichrist within the Christian nations.
In the early days Of the war the terror
stricken peasant peoples in its pathway sent
I'D the cry, "Antichrist has come!" And they
we're profoundly right.
If Colonel Roosevelt and his followers would
like to know what Jesus Christ has revealed
regarding the early Christians and their fell
low servants who remained loyal to his doc
trines. let them turn to the sixth chapter Of
the Book Of Revelation and read the open
ing of the fifth seal.
Perhaps others might be interested to see
The opening Of these seals. If so, let them
begin the reading at the first verse Of this
chapter.
The first seal opened discloses the symbol
of that Christian nation whose champion
goes forth "conqucring and to conquer" with
out sword but simply the bow of promise
IN his hands.
("America was born a Christian nation
Woodrow wilson,
The second seal opened discloses symbol
so graphic in its presentation that it needs
no aid to locate its nationality in. the great
world tragedy now staged.
The third seal symbolizes the judgment of
the nations now upon US and the fourth seal
discloses the graphic picture Of the war in
Europe with which the judgment has begun.
Come and see"
