THE eUY-A-BALE MOVEMENT
A Retrospect by a clear-Sighted
Florida Editor.

A number of papers that joined in
the buy-a-bale cry year ago now
admit it was foolish and was injur-
ious to the South. They have repent
ed, but as the Times Union year
ago said it was foolish and that it
would injure the South we do not go
forward with the penitents.
New converts are generally the
most Jealous though not so often the
most discreet, and some of these
new converts now say that the South
was injured by the buy-a-bale cry last
year, and is now being injured as
much by the insistence that the gov
ernment protect the southern people
in their right to sell their cotton ex-
cept as that right is restrained by the
law of nations They say the South
was whining a year ago buy y-a-bale'
an is now whiningly asking the help
OF the government.
The wayfaring man though very
much of fool ought to see consid-
cradle difference between begging
and asserting rights. Those who
were so active in the buy-a-baIe
movement last year, so far as we
know, were not farmers, but they
were putting the farmers of the
South in the attitude of beggars.
Those who insist that no foreign gov
ernment be permitted to override the
law of nations in interfering with
the sale of American products are
simply demanding their rights.
They demand them of the federal
government. They have nowhere
else to go If the South were an in
dependent nation it could take care
of itself, but when the constitution
was formed the states gave up to the
federal government their right of
seli-defense against foreign aggres-
sion. They can't exercise that right
under our system, and the federal
government when it assumed it by
assuming it obligated itself to defend
from the foreign agressor the rights
of all the states. 1t cannot onw shirk
this obligation without perfidy and
dishonor.
The southern paper that classes
the South as beggar when it is only
demanding its rights needs to get an
editor The outside paper that does
this is probably serving outside inter
ests-Certainly not the interests of
the South.-From Jacksonville (Fla.)
Times Union.

sinking the steamer Arabic the Ger

The imperial chancellor made the
following statement of Germany'3
position in the sinking of the Arabic:
"As long as the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking of the Arabic
have not been cleared up it is impos-
sible for me to make a definite state.
ment Thus far we have received
no report about it, Now we do not
know whether the sinking of the ship
was caused by a mine or by n torpc-
do from a German submarine nor do
we know whether in this latter case
the Arabic herself may not by her ac-
tions perhaps have justified the pro.
ceedinss Of the commander of the
submarine.
only after all these circumstances
have been cleared up will it be possi-
BILE to say whether the commander
of one of our submarines went he.
yond his instructions, in which case
the imperial government would not
hesitate to give such complete salts
faction to the United States as would
conform to the friendly relations ex-
isting between the two governments"
