Americas Ultimatum
To Germany is Final

What the final outcome of TIE American
German controversy will be probably the
Delphic Oracle would be embarrassed to
say.
Over two weeks have passed since the
United States presented what is conceded
IN diplomatic circles to have been an ulti-
matum After the first few days of grave
fears" the cables began their usual trickle
of favorable consideration" better feel
ing" prompt reply" Our ambassador
hurried to the kaiser himself, whose one
concern, said the censored cables, was to
preserve loving relations with the United
States.
Maybe so. At the same time, over two
weeks have elapsed and now comes the
usual request for little more delay.
Are the present negotiations to be repe-
tition of our past disappointmentsl
OF course if Germany thinks the United
States will stand for it, she will continue
her policy of delay, evasion, counter-propo-
sition, careful consideration and torpedo
ing. But right here is where Germany has
made a great mistake, for the country is
backing Wilson, and Wilson is backing his
motel
1t would be to Germany's interest, there
fore, to cease being Jack-the-Ripper
among nations; to renounce a mode of
murder not sanctioned by any international
law, and to learn the lesson of humanity
America is teaching!

The Mexican Situation
REQUIRES American Intervention

newspaper correspondents with pens
rnightier than the sword, to rise up IN his
wrath and smite something or other; but It
NAV lust as easily have been made by
Carranza force as suggested IN the ais
patches: or it may have been inspired by
Obregon or Diaz or Zapata. But that
question is of no importance whatever
The thing for us to remember is that the
attack was made by Mexicans.
When it comes to hating the gringo,
there is only one party in Mexico.
This statement is made by one who has
lived and loved and learned IN Mexico;
who understands the people Of Mexico;
who admires their social and artistic lie
but no definition of the national character
would be complete unless it recognized
how deep-rooted, all-embracing, is the anti
American obsession in Mexico.
With social, political, economic and
moral conditions so violently opposed, the
two peoples are antagonistic in every re-
spect; add the fact that we have already
given Mexico one drubbing, that our pro-
tectfve Monroe doctrine assumes Mexico
to be unable to protect herself--a bitter
dose to the Latin pride-and worst OF all,
remember how American enterprise is de-
veloping Mexican wealth-and you have
the key to the whole situation.
Villa is of no more importance to us
now than the match that set the house
ablaze Carranza is too weak to control
his own party even-and the territory
owning nominal fealty to his party is re-
stricted to a few cities and camps in a
country two-thirds the size of the United
States Obregon and Diaz and Zapata
may come and go-like Macbeth's endless
procession-with their demands and dig
nifty, their promises and piffle, their friend
ship and their foeship-but they are moth
ing to our government: our problem is
with the Mexican people.
Instead, therefore, of the American ex-
peditionary force being withdrawn, we
may look for its being strengthened.
Intervention is the only means of saw
ing Mexico, of protecting our own citi-
zens; but because of the violent antipathy
to the United States, Intervention will only
be established after bloodshed; and such
occurrences as the Texas raid, and the "re-
treat" of a Carranza force the other day
before an American Strategic" formation
suggest that armed hostilities may break
out at any time.

POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.

Not Founded in Fact
The reason the Tallahassee True
Democrat gives for opposing Knott,
namely that at the meeting of the
Florida Press association in Jackson
vile Knott walked around with a bot
tie of beer, which had been presented
to him by a friend, is not the truth,
for that meeting was held long be-
fore the Democrat founa a political
buyer for its space.
The editor of the Democrat Is not
a member Of the Florida Press asso-
citation, and, therefore, could not have
been there in any capacity, except
that of an interloper.
The Florida Press association did
not meet last year in Jacksonville
but in Miami.-Jasper News.

Good Roads Pay

Nothing pays better than good
roads. 1t costs something to secure
them, but they are the arteries which
connect city and country, along which
the currents of comfort perpetually
flow. Bad roads, full of chuck holes,
kill time, team and temper. Be sure
then that money thus intelligently
expended is wisely invested and sure
to realize the future results.-Liberty

The Cattle Kingdom :

One of the greatest possibilities for
the future of Florida seems to us to
be found in the cattle industry, and
the time to act in regard to this mat
ter is now. In 1910 the average value
of farm land in the United States was
$3.50 per acre. The value today is
estimated at $45.55. This is an in
crease of nearly so per cent IN five
years. The cattle raising bus aess is
already the most profitable of any,
even though nothing is used but the
native prairie grass. We advise you,
young men of the north, to investi-
gate these statements at once and
see if it is not wise to purchase tracts
of this land while it can be bought
at reasonable prices.-Arcadia News.

DespicabIe Tactics

The Tallahassee True Democrat,
which is supporting Fred NJ. Hudson
for governor, came out a few days
ago with a most despicable attack
on w. v. Knott, in which it is at
tempted to make it appear that Mr..
Knott is consumer of strong drink.
No such attack could possibly injure
Mr.. Knott among people who know
him, and the evident purpose of the
article is to hurt him with voters
who do not know him.-0rlando Re-

direction In speech, and this sentence like so many of his other sentences is perhaps susceptible of several different interpretations. In any event. neither he nor anyone else can point out wherein the federal trade commission has the power to modify the Sherman law; or wherein the Sherman law has been in any why changed by any legis- lation since he has been in office. He has not enforced it, but neither has he secured any modification of it. Cn- occasionally he should have followed either one course or the other. The only certainty about the Sherman law. especially in view of the conflicting decisions in the lower courts as re- gards the Harvester company and the Keystone Watch Case company. is that its interpretation is surrounded by absolute uncertainty. But if MT. Will sons words about it mean anything-a rather wild suppositiOn on my part. admit-they mean that this law stands against modern cooperative methods.
