"A Niger In THE W00OPILf"
Especially for the Daily News >l(
Nj By DR. CHARLES FREDERIC GOSS III
Ill Author mpion of David Ill
Author Redemption Of David Corson' =

a man of authority who solemnly de-
clares that this enormous sum OF
money is not only capable of becom-
ing, but is even more than likely to
become the most deadly peril to the
life of the government, of which 1t
was supposed to be the greatest bene-
factor.
Suppose" he says, that this enor-
nous fund is used to establish institu-
lions hostile to the state; to corrupt
legislators or to create a vicious pub
lie opinion?"
The supposition startles us, like a
sudden clap of thunder! We know
quite well the Unreasonable power of
ten or fifteen million dollars to ac-
complish goor or evil, and we know
as well, that men who administer a
fund are as liable to be mistaken in
their judgment and selfish in their mo-
tives as any of the rest of us poor
sinners, reflections which make us
tremble in our shoes.
How hard it is to do good! How
discouraging it must be to rich men
who try to use their inestimable
wealth for the benefit of their fellow
men, to find their efforts regarded
with suspicion and even hostility!
1t will probably be long time be,
fore Charity can be reduced to one
of the so-called exact sciences" 1t
will be long time before there will
be a wood-pile without a niger
hiding in it.
Eternal vigilance for every possible
kind of evil is the price of liberty not
only, but of existence.

ANENT THAT STORY
ABOUT MIR. LANSING

Two weeks ago there appeared in
the Daily News a story relating to
the arrest here by New York officers
of Chas W. Lansing. The basis for
the more, essential statements con
tanned in the story was obtained from
the New York sheriff who, with one.
of his deputies, came to Daytona,
caused Mr. Lansings arrest, and then
carried him away.
That Mr.. Lansing saw a copy of
the News which told of his trouble,
and that he disputes the correctness
of certain qualified allegations con-
tanned in the story is indicated by the
following courteous letter from him
and another from his attorney:
March 1st, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Fitzgerald:
AS an old newspaper man, ! can
understand your natural desire to
make your newspaper as newsy and
up-tO-datc as possible and that you
would not wish to overlook any good
bit of sensational news that might
come to your notice.
Also, as an old newspaper man, I
know that sometimes things are not
always what they appear, and that
information given is not always cor
rect. In such case | am sure that you
will agree with me that the only
proper course is to remedy so far as
possible any harm that may have been
done through the publication of mis-
statements.
I'm your issue of February 10Th.

"A niger in the wood pile"

"A niger in the wood pile
What that means, no doubt, is that
however well the wood pile comes up
to the standard of measurement
both in size and quality, it will prove
of little value to it's owner, if there
hides behind, or under, or within 1t
some thieving fellow who will carry it
off. by night.
OF the piteous fact that (almost al
ways) there is some element of evil
lurking in the best of situations, Or
CARNATIONS and institutions, this old
saying that there is niger in the
woodpie," will remain for centuries,
perhaps, the most vivid and effective
expression.
Chairman Walsh, of the government
committee to investigate industrial
and other problems, thinks that he
has found a niger" in the wood-pile
of the Rockefeller Foundation"
Ideally considered, this gift of mil
lions upon millions of dollars, to pre-
mote the public welfare "in any pos
sible way" is one of the most wonder
full phenomena in the history of the
human race. 1t is to be taken for
granted that its founder never
dreamed that any serious exception
could be taken to a deed of such pro-
dgious benefaction.
And yet, almost before the machin-
cry by which this fund is to be dis
pensed has gotten into working order
and while its enormous dividends are
being devoted to the salvation of a
million starving Belgians, there comes
The Daytona daily news. [volume] (Daytona, Fla.) 1903-1926, 1915-03-04

such an article if undisputed, would
be accepted by many as a statement
of facts and if so, would reflect dis
grace not simply upon myself but
upon my family.
81 am sure that you do not desire
to bring suffering and humiliation up
on my mother and sister, who have
both been winter residents and tax
payers Of Daytona for many years,
and that you will be glad of the
opportunity to right any wrong which
may have been done to them through
erroneous statements regarding my
self.
ANY one can easily get involved
in legal network. 1t is easy enough
to secure an indictment against some
one Il thousand miles awey, who has
no chance to appear in his own be-
half 1t is not an uncommon thing
to attempt to use the criminal courts
as recourse to recover business
losses.
You or any one else might be an
officer of a corporation that had the
misfortune to fail and go into the
hands of a receiver. 1t could easily
be possible that one of the losing
bond or stock holders or other
creditor might accuse you of respon-
sibility for such failure and loss
These things happen every day. You
might not be responsible, either legal
ly or morally, for such loss, and yet
the accusation would stand until de-
Tended and decided in the courts.
Now. my dear Mr.. Fitzgerald put
yourself in my shoes for a moment

The German Press Attitude.

The attitude of the German press the
latest American note Is certainly not calculated
TO allay the growing friction between the two
tically set up that Germany completely
within her rights, and fully Justified, in sinking
the Lusitania without opportunity to save pas
sengers and crew, and that there is reason
for disavowing the act, nor even for admitting
the justice of any claim for compensation to the
families Of the innocent victims.
Had Germany made this bald answer to our
first Lusltania note no one could have foreseen
the consequences. While the German diplomatic
correspondence on the subject, 1t is true, has so
far evaded the question of responsibility on the
pretense that the Lusitania was In reality armed,
and subject to call as an auxiliary cruiser for
the British navy, the kaisers spokesman were
careful TO convey the impression that they
wanted these questions Of fact submitted TO
further inquiry or arbitration.
II German submarines have an undefeasible
right to sink without warning merchant vessels
carrying oontraband, and regardless of the flag
they may be flying then, of course, there is
nothing whatever to submit to arbitration, and
all the interchange of notes must from the first
have been exchange Of mere scraps of
paper" We do not believe however that the
attitude of the German press will be the position
taken by the German government. What the
German newspapers are saying however. makes
it all the more important that we wait with
patience for the official response to our note.

One Year Of the War

Today completes one year Of the European
war, twelve months OF continuous conflict, with
ell presidents outdone all prophecies upset, and
no indication to when II will terminate. We
bad been told the modern military machinery
had made war so terrible in its potentially for
death and destruction that 1t could not continue
long, costly in it's operation that nations could
not afford to maintain hostilites for a great
length OF time, and that any war must soon be
over. Three months the time set by many
when the troops under Won Kluck began to pour
across the Belgian border. But mans ingen-
uity met offense with defense, and under the
shelter of trenches armies have withstood the
assault Of opposing armies. In the air and be-
meath the foes have grappled, and still the
earth trembles under the shock OF the conflict.
Twelve months have gone, and millions of men
end billions OF treasure have been wasted and
can say with certainty when It is to be
over.

Mako the street number uniform

the so-called decimal system that moves the
house numbers up hundred from one block 10

where Milton is a Back Number.

When John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost
OF the conflict between the loyal hosts of heaven
Under the command of Michael and the rebelli-
Gus angels. led by Lucifer, he penned mag
nificent bit of description. But he suffered
under the limitations OF his time. The Baconian
compound OF birthstone and saltpeter had yet on
its swaddllng clothes. TO speak. and Its poten-
TALLY for cussedness was beyond even the flight
of Millions majestic fancy. Therefore, the
offensive and defensive engines with which he
armed the embattled hosts OF heaven were
scarcely more deadly than the bombards and the
petards used in earthly warfare.
But what picture he might now outline
were he TO be given the opportunity of revising
his stately periods and introducing into their
pregnant phrases something OF the modern ma
chinery for the elimination OF life and the ex-
punging OF mans proudest works. Milton
gained Immortality as poet. but. in the light
OF what Is going on today as an artilerist he is
