Uncle Sam is Particular

Uncle Sam will not tolerate any
defacing of mail matter with novelty
stamps this Christmas, according to
an order received yesterday at the Nor
ris postoffice. On the face of g. let
ter or parcel-the side bearing the
nothing but the required
postage may be used. Any mail bear
ing novelty Christmas stamps on the
addressed side will be treated as un-
mailable. Morris people will have to
govern themselves accordingly when
they send out Christmas mails.
= The order provides, however, that
the special stamps may be used on
the rear of the letter or parcel.
The order is drawn to eliminate delay
in handling congested mails and to
prevent addresses being covered, or
partly covered.

Golfers Weekly makes the follow
ing very timely remark: "lt is a bad
omen that the German papers pub
lished in this country continue to
view the whole controversy from the
standpoint of Berlin. They are anx-
ious about Germany's interests in con-
Quoting the war; they are not anxious
about the rights of the United States.
Their editorials find satisfaction and
conviction in whatever emanates from
the Wilhelmsstrasse magnates, while
they intimate very broadly that our
government is prejudiced, hypocrlt-
icaI, unneutral, subservient to Eng
land, Indifferent to fact, and so on, ad
nauseam. Our freedom of the press
enables them to malign the admins
tration at Washington, but does not
erable them even to criticize fairly
the rulers at Berlin. 1t is perfectly
plain that in case of a break with
Germany many of these so-called
| American Germans will be unable
| either to curb their zeal for the old
country OF 10 SHAKE OlI IilCu haOAS Va
implicit and instructive obedience to
| it's orders. We have had many ex-
amples of this lately in the endless
chain of accidents" to war property
of the United States, in the bombs
found on vessels loading for England
and France, and in the foolish-frantit
activities of all these alleged peace
truth, and neutrality leagues. These
things may be only condolences, bu
there are altogether too many sucl
condolences. 1t is high time that ou
. citizens of Germanic origin and Ger
manic sympathies pull themselves to
gether and show that they care abou
the United States. The next fey
months are going to be very crit
. ical season for those whose heart
f own a foreign and an antagonistic al
legiance."

SUGGESTION is SCURRILOUS

A newspaper puts it, libel is the
only instance in which a person
charged with crime is considered
"guilty" until he proves himself in
nocent. While governor, l recon-
mended a more liberal libel law. The
Perry Herald was not "bribed" by
such, as appears. The newspapers
can sell their space for watermelons,
onions, etc., but not for railroad
mileage. The people want the infor-
nation as to schedules. The papers
have the space and want the mileage
tickets. The opponents of such claim
that all the editors making such an
exchange would be tadpoles In the
muddy sloughs of the railroads. In
other words, that all the editors would
be corrupted, and become "agin" the
people. | thought that even such &
suggestion was scurrilous.

The story comes from the border
that bands of Mexicaris are coming
over the Rio Grande with the inten-
ton of conquering and annexing to
Mexico that part of Texas that lies
between the Rio and the Neuces,
which, as our history sharps will re-
member, was the territory claimed by
Mexico prior to the breaking out of
the unpleasantness In 1916. A con-
siderable portion of the people in that
part of the state are Mexicans either
by birth or descent, and the ignorant
greasers may really suppose they can
conquer and hold the eight or nine
counties composing it, and which
have a much greater area than some
eastern states. All the general gov
ernment has to do in regard to this
mater is to give the state of Texas a
free hand. In fact, If the government
had only given our border states per-
mission to defend themselves two
years ago, the Mexican border would
now be the most quiet portion of the
world. A Mexican who wouldn't be-
have himself wouldn't dare to come ir
q thousand yards of the line from the
gulf to the Pacific Instead of that
the government has kept the hands OF
the people tied. 1t hasn't defended
them and wouldn't let them defend
themselves.

INTENTIONS OF BOARD
OF STATE INSTITUTIONS

Says the Gainesville Sun of the re-
city:
The appearance in this city We'd |
nesday of State Controller Will V.
Knott and State Bank Examiner 3. G. |
Whitfield may have made some people |
feel a little shaky, but there is no
need for this. Mr.. Knott was return
ing from visit to the camps at Ocala
and was met here by the bank ex-
aminer and some other parties from a
distant town, for a conference on
tween them. Mr.. Knott continued his
| journey to the state capital this
morning, leaving on the four O'Clock
northbound train over the A. c. l.,
and Mr.. Whitfield went south.
While here Mr.. Knott outlined at
some length the intentions of the
board of state institutions with ref
erence to the disposition of the state
lconvicts. He says that ultimately
there will be no work for them to do,
. other than that on the farms at the
camps. He recites two reasons foI
this. First, sentiment in the state is
rapidly crystalizing against the Gus
? tom of leasing them out for any pur-
pose. Secondly, the building of pub
lie roads will finally be completed anC
there will be no need for them along
!, that line, for the reason that th'
: county convicts will be able to keel
the roads up after they are construct
ed.
1t is the purpose of the state boar
therefore to make these camps self
sustaining just as quickly as posi-
. BILE. Mr.. Knott is of the opinion thi
;, can and will be done. On the farm
: they grow all the staple crops excep
= cotton, and notwithstanding the
= started in this year with PRACTICAL
everything new, he says they hav
produced some very fine crops. Nj
Knott grows enthusiastic when di:
= coursing on this subject and impress:
