Everybody Working and-Happy-

Ocala Banner: Better the high
than the low cost of living. The low
cost of living means bread lines and
soup houses in the city, an army of
hoboes throughout the country, vege-
tables perishing in the fields and
fruits rotting on the trees. The high
cost of living means an abundance of
money, smoking chimneys, the whirr
of machinery. happiness in the har-
vest fields and a profit commensurate
with ones labor and risks. We do
moi want the pauper prices of the ef-
fcte Oriental nations.

Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Bank in New York
on Wednesday in an address before a
school of finance for business eXecu-
tives in New York, is reported as
characterizing the United States as
"a nation of economic illiterates." :"
Maybe; maybe; but somehow within
the short period of so years this ma
tion of Economic illiterates" has be-
come the wealthiest nation on the
globe. If we could attain to this
rank without knowledge of the
"science of business" what in thun-
der's the use of worrying?

Money Anyway
Starke Telegraph: The boring for
mineral oil that is now going on in
several places in Florida begins to be
rewarded, as a 1000-foot well in Wa
kulla county has yielded this much
treasured substance, as we'll as gas.
As skilled experts as those who tried
for oil in Wakulla have pronounced
certain localities in the East Coasts as
promising and are boring for oil there.
At a depth of a thousand feet, or
more, the geological formation is
probably the same all over the state
and Florida is likely to soon include
oil and gas among her mineral re-
sources. The state will soon be over
run by oil prospectors, and whether
they find what they seek or not. the
money they will spend in their prob
ings will reach us all and be much ap-
preciated.

AN EMBARGO
ON FOOD.

Some newspapers as well as some
law makers have been suggesting that
the one way to put stop to the in
creasing cost Of food in this country
is to place an embargo on foodstuffs
stop shipping it out of the country.
1t certainly sounds like simple So
luton of the problem. But is it?
If we barely raised enough to sup
ply the needs of our own people we
might be justified on the ground that
self-preservation is not only the first
law of individuals, but of nations.
But there is no such condition. We
raise much more food than we con-
sumo, and the surplus is naturally
sold in the highest market. Just now
this highest market is furnished by
the nations at war, and we have been
selling them.
1t isn't so very long ago that in
diplomatic correspondence this gov
ernment maintained it's right to sell
munitions of war to beligerents, or to
any nation that had the price. If it
was our right to sell munitions, it
must be our duty to sell foodstuffs.
To refuse to do so would be an unnau-
tral act-if not immoral.
1t IS annoying, but to the extent
that the foreign demand for our food
stuff affects the price, there seems to
be no other alternative but accept the
annoyance.
We tried this embargo plan once.
1t was in 1907 that congress forbade
exports until France and Great Brit
ain settled their war.
The next year American exports
dropped from $1OSOOO,OOO to s22,-
100000, and revenue fell from S16.-
100000 to a few thousands. Thons-
ands of sailors were thrown out of
work and ship earnings of 12.5OO,-
900 were wiped out Thousands of
business houses failed and millions in
wages were lost through uncmplov-
ment.
Grass is said to have grown in the
streets of New York and discontent !
spread so rapidly in New England :
that several of the states passed null ,
llflcation laws and threatened open :
secession. In the south cotton grow
ers received aid from the states.
After little more than q wear Of
this congress repealed the embargo
act. But it took many years to out
grew the evil effects of that year or =
more of embargo.
If the American people will do all T
N their power toward breaking up .
.ood corners and will prosecute to the 6,
INIT those responsible for them, with G
lere and there a boycott where it :,
an be made to work, we will be doing ..
ur full part toward remedying injus- y
Ice. High prices and prosperity 90 ~

OLE had been drinking. /"

These tour words reveal the cause OF
one OF the most hideous crimes ever per-
petrated in Maryland-the cruel murder
OF an innocent little baby girl by drunk
en- father. Last Friday night Douglas
Shipley, aged q years, farm hand, went
10 This home near Unity, Montgomery
county. Md, in an intoxicated condition.
The crying of his baby child, little girl
one year old, annoyed him, and he re-
peatedly struck it with his fist. His dis
tracted wife entreated him to desist, but
he threatened TO kill her if she interfered,
and continued his inhuman treatment OF
the baby. Finally he seized the child by
the throat and choked il until its tongue
protruded. The unhappy mother man
aged to escape from the house and in her
bare feet fled to the home OF a neighbor,
who telephoned for ar officer. When
the officer went TO Shipley'S house the
poor little baby was dead, having sue
cumbed to the beating and choking by
its father. The man was arrested and
lodged in jail in Rockville.
How can any man in Maryland who
has heart within him, or spark OF hui
mainly, vote to license men TO sell liquor
that impels its victims 10 such dreadful
deeds2

A FORTHCOMING ONSLAUGHT.
John ]. Comwell in Hampshire Review.


From what we regard as reliable Re-
publican authority, the information comes
that in a very few days. perhaps before
this article reaches the readers Of the
Review, the Hatfield machine. through
its organs in Wheeling, Fairmont, Park
ersburg, Huntington and elsewhere, is to
take the offensive and make terrible
onslaught on the Democratic candidate
for Governor. The same villainous
methods of attempting to blacken and
destroy private regulations, which the
machine pursued in its fight against Abe
Lilly, is to be repeated with redoubled
fury.
Already Judge Robinson, somewhat to
our surprise, has been referring to Corn
we'll as the candidate of"Clarence Watson,
the man with the check book and the
fountain pen." This is TO be enlarged on,
exploited, emphasized and head-lined.
Cornwell is to be held up as the "can-
didate OF the Interests" and we are to
hear about the Riggs Bank. his attorney
ship for corporations and so on.
Our information is-and il is from such
reliable sources that we do not doubt it
that the man behind this mud-gun OF AZ
centimetre calibre is Chas. w. Swisher,
whom we here and now charge with
having sought TO make deal 10 stop
prosecution ii a certain corporation will
contribute 100000 10 the Republican
machine campaign fund. One ofthe men
to be named as connected with Cornwell's
campaign is associated with Swisher and
aided him in getting Lilly to abandon the
contest against Judge Robinson-this for
the purpose of covering their own tracks.
The Democratic candidate for Governor
welcomes this assault from the Hatfield
machine and its horde OF appointeeS and
satellites. He has no skeletons in his
political closet he is afraid TO have ex-
hibited. The people know how he
obtained the gubernatorial nomination,
that he owes it TO no one man or group
OF men, but to the Embossed Democratic
voters, and principally TO the Democratic
farmers.
Ii the machine wants to make Clarence
Watson, instead OF IFS own record, the
issue in this State, they are doomed TO
disappointment. They can not get away
from the record, because we are not
going 10 permit them TO do it. We
imagine if the issue was made between
Hatfield and Watson there would be but
one finish. The one has imposed I'M
considerable tax burdens on the people
TO maintain gigantic political machine,
and whose name goes abroad only when
he beats up commercial traveller on
train or knocks down fellow delegate
at Republican national convention. The
other is the head OF great industries,
developing the State, his name syn
onym OF personal and business integrity.
Do the people of West Virginia prefer
a political bruiser to business man? If
they do, the writer does not want to be
their Governor. Come on with your
mud, We political freebooters. Your hand
was played out in the primary. There
are thousands of Republicans all over
West Virginia who condemn that kind OF
politics. You will be wiser when you
have reaped the results of your attack. &

1T is a noticeable fact that the political
machine that is trying so hard TO elect the
Republican State ticket in West Virginia
is concerning itself very little about the
candidate for the United States Senate,

ton is that the machine must elect the
Governor at all hazards, so that it m aY
be perpetuated and kept in good running

The Republican State machine is get
ting ready, so it is reported, to turn its
mud guns on John Cornwell and The
Democratic State ticket. Somehow we
doubt the efficacy of the performance.
The same crowd tried il on General Lilly

a last resort 10 steal the nomination from
him-and they will have even a worse
time trying 10 work il on John Cornwell.
Surely the people of this State must call a
halt on such dirty politics.
