tions.
Thing Hs Has Abused Power.
Mr.. Redfield's plea for mercy yester-
day, In which he said he had been mis-
represented by the press ard the Chi
cago state and federal officials. las
only served to increase the conviction
in many quarters that he has abused
his power as chief Of great govern
mental department in an effort to re-
strain criticism OF that department.
The indignation which has been arous-
ed in Chicago Is being reflected gem
orally elsewhere.
It was pointed out today by persons
familiar with Mr.. RetIfeld's official
career that his conduct in Chicago is
consistent with his previous activities
in other lines. Ever since he entered
congress In the democratic landslide OF
1910, he has assumed a know 1t alr'
attitude towards every question he has
discussed in any way, according to his
critics
Previous Conduct Cited.
They say that when he became sec
retary Of commerce at the opening OF
the Wilson administration he appeared
to believe that It was his duty to tell
all business men in the country how
to conduct their business. In telling
them Mr.. Redfield, as a review Of his
speeches Will indicate often took 1t
upon himself to chide them as to their
methods and to say in a rather fippant
manner that the business men as a
rule had better be out of business than
in It. '
He was finally .dispossessed of his
character az "schoolmaster Of busi-
ness" when the Wilson administration
began to cater to the business inter-
ests Of the country.
The outbreak of the secretary IN
Chicago last week is attributed by
number of his acquaintances to his
long pent up desire to chide some one
for something. That he selected the
worst occasion imaginable for chiding
is now admitted. even by his friends.
Now an Administration Problem.
Secretary Redield's conduct has been
such that 1t IL believed President VIII
son will have to take more than pass
ing notice of the complaints made
against 1t. Thesaction of Judge Ian
dis in ordering all witnesses before the
federal grand jury not to appear before
the Redfleld clearance court really has
precipitated q crisis in the career OF
the secretary Of commerce.
Judge Landis Is believed to have
created q precedent when he acted to
prevent cabinet officer from meddling
to such an extent in vital public
rqu1sGtnn- that he might seriously en-
danger the public's interest.
The--sseaspsevaiIa here thar little
more viii be h6afd Of the Redfeld in
,vestigation In Chicago and that the
secretary OF commerce shortly will slip
out of that city In the hope that his
jesting there at one Of the most tragic
times in it's history will soon be for
gotten by the grief stricken populace.

Editor Lee County journal:
Dear Sir:
As / wrote you in my last let
Ter that there was series Of meet
ines being carried on at the Chris
tian church here by the different
preachers in the city and ! did moi
miss sermon during the week
and IS have just returned from
che Second Baptist church today
where heard a fine sermon, !
feel just like writing you few
lines. / have certainly enjoyed
these meetings and to see that the
preachers Of different denomina-
tions do the preaching. The Chris
tian preachers turned the preaching
over to the Methodist, Baptist,
Presbyterian and Epispocal and
they all preached fine sermons.
I enjoyed them so much and while
setting in the church ! imagined !
could hear my old friend Julien
Price singing base and it carried
my thoughts back to Leesburg and
10 that old yeree I learned long
ago thas ran like this:
This world is a wonderful
great big place
And in it our children must
roam
10 learn what their fathers
have long since learned
Their is no place like home sweet
home.'e
Well az this win be my last letter
10 you before the election comes off
for bonds, | wanted to make one
more appeal to my friends and the
voters Of Lee to all turn out to the
election on the ~ inst. and cast
their votes for bonds. / hope there
viii not be a single vote recorded
against bonds. 1t is the salvation
Of Lee county in my judgement.
have for the past two years been
urginga bond election but great
many OF our citizens opposed itand
said the Commissioners would not
invest the money for the
purposes in which it was in
tended for, and buy other things
that We could do without. Now !
know each and every one Of our
Commissioners and they are per-
feet gentlemen and besides large
tax payers themselves and good
business men, and / am confident
they will do their full duty, Now
let's every help to hold up their
hands and make Lee county the
banner one Of South Ga, We have
got the best agricultural county in
Ga. and all we need is good roads,
bridges, churches and school houses
and you viii see strangers coming
here to buy homes and invest their
money, My friend Col. Billiard
wrote a timely article on bonds and
in the last paragraph Of his letter
hit the kew note when he said:
This is a day Of progress. There
is no such thing as standing still
for either individual or commun-
ity. Inactivity means stagnation,
decay and death. Activity means
progress and life. " A trHer senti-
ment was never uttered. | also
read your editorial. 1t was strong,
forceful and to the point.
While on this subject | want to
state that the laws Of Virginia are
different from ours. Here you can
vote for bonds hy districts if the
whole county does not want bonds.
One or more districts can vote for
bonds and have all the churches,
schools and good roads they want.
/ have just learned from the Cham
Der Of Commerce here that 8 dis
tricts in one county voted for bonds
about 4 years ago to the amount Of
$3.50. 600, and they have the best
roads in the state and after the
balance OF the county saw how their
roads had enhanced the value OF
THAR lands the whole conntv voted
