Hats OFF to Marion County,

st. Augustine Record: 1t has Ions
been recognized in many states tha
women should have a voice in the
making of laws. Some states moi
quite so far advanced have let dowr
the bars so far as to permit women
to vote on matters affecting them
most nearly, such as tax laws and
school affairs.
1t would seem that Florida women
are now to have voice in school mat
ters, for acting on the recommenda
ton of Superintendent of Public In
struction W. N. Sheats that there
should be one woman representative
on each county school board, the peo-
PIE of Marion county have just elect
ed Mrs. William Hooker, who is char
acterized rs zone of the best and
brightest women in Ocala," as school
trustee. Mrs. Hooker is the first wo
man ever elected to public office in
Marion county, and the choice of the
people of the county is especially hap
ny, for she has long been deeply in
terested in educational work and has
done much for the advancement of
the school system in her home county.
1t is up to other counties of the stale
now to follow the shining example set
by Marion, and permit the women,
who are most directly and vitality in
terested in the education of their
to have a share in the great
work.

1t will no doubt be interesting to
the people of Putnam county to know
that we have had with us for the past
two days Miss Harris, the State Agent
IN charge of Home Demonstration

been very dry, in nearly every part of
the state until quite recently, but that
Putnam county beats the record The
girls record books show that there has
been no rain except light sprinkles in
most of the county, since before

VIM. A. RUSSELL. Editor.
BY ALL MEANS,
LET US BE FAIR.

In spite of the national dsapprova
OF attacks on unarmed merchantmen
by German submarines; in spite O.
the general feeling that it is time fol
the United States to demand absolute
neutrality rights, there must be cor,
respondingly strong feeling that un-
less the United States writes another
ultimatum to Great Britain, demand
ing her recognition, also, of the ia
neutrality rights of the United States,
we have failed utterly in being the
neutral nation we claim to be.
Great Britain has shown insuffera-
BILE impertinence toward this country;
she has interfered with our commerce:
she has tempered with our mail; she
has even seized American ships and
American cargoes en- route to other
neutral countries; and has assumed,
with all the arrogance of the John
Bull of 1872, that she may rule the
sea as her own interests demand!
Her desire to "starve" Germany in
to surrender deserves no aid from the
United States. If Germany is en-
deavoring to cut off supplies from
England by submarine warfare, Eng
land is endeavoring to do the same
thing by sea blockade and a pratt
cal control of all shipping on its way
to her enemies.
The Metropolis believes in fair play.
Now that Germany has been given her
orders, let us give England hers. Let
a note be sent to Great Britain con-
veying the information that if her in
reference with American neutrality
rights does not cease, diplomatic re-
lations with her will be severed as
completely as with the imperial gov
ernment.
And in the meantime, let there be i
an embargo on war supplies of every
kind for the belligerent nations. Let
us send them food. Let US send them
Red Cross supplies, but let us stop
this unholy exchange of death and
destruction for the dollars of stricken
Europe.-Miami Metropolis.

THEY STILL
BLAME WILSON.

No President of these United State
for fifty years, has been forced to fac
such trying ordeals as those confront
ing President Wilson. From the yer,
day of his induction into the office,
muddy track and a prohibitive handi
cap has been his fate. The money OBJ
tanned from selling arms and ammu
nitions to that cut-throat and assassin
in Mexico, has been used to embar.
rass his administration.
Even a paper like "Colliers," sup
posedly fair and non-partisan, tries to
stab him to the heart. Just imagine
such a journal trying to impress its
readers with that utterly puerile and
inhuman contention that the Wilson
administration committed a grievous
mistake when it refused to recognize
HUERTA!
This was the hideous old traitor who
murdered Madero, the only decent
president the republic of Mexico has
known for half century.
But what care these people whose
only estimate of mankind is made in
dollars and cents?
This monied aristocracy abuse Will
son for not urging Congress to de-
clare war on Germany. And for what
cause? Because some worthless loaf
ing American may lose his life while
on board ship whose country is at
war
President Wilson has proven HIM
self a humane official. He realizes
that his people are not prepared for
war. He knows that discretion is the
preponderance of valor. He is pain
fully aware of the fact that even if
our soldiers had the requisite train
ing, they have nothing to fight with.
For the past two years, just as rap
idly as American factories could make |
rifle, there was a British soldier |
ready to use it.
The SOUTH, after the lapse of
nearly fifty years, still suffers from its
indiscretion from getting into a fight
with nothing to fight with. And our
old veterans bear abundant testimony
that it was NOT the most blatant of
otators demanding that war, who
shouldered their muskets and did the
real fighting.
We are somewhat like the old negro
cook who boaSted,-"jist gimme de
grievances and show me how, and I'll |
cook as fine a dinner as anybody"
We are not going to see real good '
scrap going on and stand idly by and c
watch it. We are just as fond of this I
