strict regulation of the transpOrta-
try. 1t has put its creed into it's
deeds, and all really effective laws
regulating the railroads and the great
industrial corporations are the work
of Republican congresses and presi-
dents. For this policy of regulation
stumbling and piecemeal way, are I'M
dertaking to involve the government
in business which should be left with
in the sphere of private enterprise
and in direct competition with it's own
citizens, policy which is sure to re-
suit in waste, great expense to the
taxpayer, and in an inferior product.
The Republican party firmly be-
lieves that all who violate the laws in
regulation of business should be in
dividually punished, but prosecution
is very different from persecution, and
business success. no matter how hon
estly attained, is apparently regarded
by the Democratic party as in itself
crime. Such doctrines and beliefs
choke enterprise and stif1e prosperity.
The Republican party believes in en-
couraging American business, as it be-
lieves in and will seek to advance all
American interests.
We favor an effective system of
rural credits as opposed to the inef-
fective law proposed by the present

GERMANY ON THE DEFENSIVE.

The Kaiser, in recent visit to the east
ern front, is reported by an Associated
Press dispatch from Berlin as having told
his troops their slogan should be, He
shall not get through" God help you
in this work" the Kaiser further said.
This is quite a different tone from his
one-time arrogant toast to. "The Day
Quite different, too, from the predictions
when Verdun would fall-barren as such
victory would have been.
Different, too, from the assumption of
victory when his fleet limped back into
port, to be laid up permanently while their
crews were used in a last desperate attempt
TO stem the onrush against the trenches.
Germany, had Won Kluck reached Paris
on schedule time, would have won world
dominion almost before the war was begun.
But Germany was held, and Germany I'm
able to attain her objects, was defeated
then, and has been fighting on the defen-
sive ever since.
Brilliant as the campaigns against Rus
STA and Servia were, they accomplished
nothing. Brilliant as the campaign against
Roumania is, it will accomplish nothing.
Germany may beat Roumania, but Ger
man armies will be weakened lust that
much, and Germany will be no better off
than before.
The fight the Germans have been putting
up is wonderful, but nothing less than was
to have been expected from the most won
derful military organization in the world
True, the Allies have made the most spec
tacular advances of the war since things
settled down to trench fighting; and on
their last drive they have captured under
ground fortresses that were considered i'm
pregnable-against which even the heav-
lest guns were powerless, but the Germans
are very far from being defeated But they
are fighting now not for victory, but to keep
from being beaten. The tides of war have
changed. Not Paris is the objective, but
Berlin, and, God help you," says the
Kaiser.

FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION.

IF the corn rate case, which was heard
by the Florida Railway Commission at Ma
rianna on Monday and has been taken I'M
der advisement, is decided nfavor OF West
Florida, this region will receive great
stimulus in agricultural production.
It is not possible, in our limited space, to
discuss at length the statistics showing the
burden of discrimination under which the
Florida farmers and business men have la
bored. Roughly speaking, the freight
charges on corn in Florida are about double
the rates in Georgia, Alabama and Texas;
and are considerably higher than the rates
in other states. To give one concrete illus
tration, the rate on corn from Louisville,
Kentucky, to Pensacola, distance of $50
miles, is 10 cents hundred pounds; but
from Cottondale, West Florida, to Pensa-
cola, distance Of 127 miles it is eighteen
cents--almost a ten per cent handicap
against home enterprise
Freight charges on the forty-seven mil
lion pounds of corn and feed imported into
Pensacola alone from the north and west
meant $4,000 to the l.. & N, which IS,
therefore, opposed to putting West Florida
on a parity with the rest of the country,
for though the consumption of feedstuffs
would not be diminished the removal of
the .scrimination would encourage the
Farmers of West Florida to greater corn
production, which would mean shorter
hauls, and consequently, loss of freight
profits Railroads would indeed lose money
at first, but Florida will soon be exporting
corn, and then the railroad will begin to
reap the reward of long hauls.
Be this as it may, our people are the first
TO be considered.
Other freight determinations will occu-
ply public attention from now on, and oui
business men and farmers are fortunate il
their Chamber of Commerce secretary
who is an expert on freight rates It is toe
often the rule that the plaintiffs have I'M
skilled representatives to present their
cause, whereas, the railroads send thei
shrewdest lawyers and experts, which is
why they have had things their way fol
SO long. Mr.. Phillips, in the Mariana corr
case, had staggering lot of statistics t.
prove the peoples case. The case is reall,
very simple one and a decision is expected
within the next thirty days, with every in
dication of victory.

THE BACK YARD GARDEN.

Because OF the shortage in wheat, the
government is urging people to use great
er proportion of potato in their bread.
But the potato crop is short, too.
In fact, all crops are short this year.
The October report of the Department OF
Agriculture shows decline of /, 10000
600 bushels of grain, 100000 bushels of
potatoes, 100000 bushels of peaches,
AID 100000 bushels of apples.
The wheat crop is the smallest since 1904 !;
and our population is 100000 larger,
which would mean high prices even if Eu-
rope wasn't eagerly buying food stuffs over
here.
With short cotton crop, wheat crop
100000 bushels off, corn 337 100000 off,
and oats 81 100000 off, the high cost of
living is destined to reach new levels be-
fore the winter is over
The only relief in sight is the back ward
garden. Did you ever stop to think how
many acres of ground go uncultivated in a
city's back yards? A piece of ground TWEEN
ty-fve feet square will pretty nearly sup.
ply the vegetables of family. The Fall
is the time of the year to begin-peas and
cabbage and lettuce and radishes and many
other things can be set out right now
It's an easy way to lower the cost of liv-
ing-why not try it2

State Press Comment
Allegiance to Nominee

Since the supreme court and the
state democratic committee have de-
cided that Knott is the nominee we
don't see how a democrat can afford
to go outside the fold to hunt for a
candidate for governor, or, for any
other office, as to that matter. The
editor of the Record was reared a
democrat from the cradle and has
ever rallied to the coiors of. that
party. We have participated in var
ious contests for supremacy of one
democrat over another for offices
within the gift of the people, but
never have we turned from a nonrl-
nee. We regret the late unpleasant
ness, known as the Knott-Catts fight
but so far as we are concerned it's all
over now. Early in the fight the
Record promised allegiance to the
nominee. We stated that if Cats
won we would vote for him, although
he was not our choice in the primary.
This is our idea of democrat. We
are going to vote the straight ticket

the top to Dan Marshal for Constable

English Scientist Predicts That

Industrial plants operated entirely by
heat from the sun is a prospect OK the
not too distant future. according to con-
illusions set forth by A. s. f. Alderman,
OF England. In the annual report OF the
Smithsonian Institution. In an article
entitled THE Utilization OF Solar En-
ergy," Mr.. Alderman tells OF expert
ments which he has been conducting Tor
the past two years at Meadi. on the
River Nile, seven miles south Of Cairo.
Egypt. in generating steam from the rays
Of the sun. Y.
The plant at Meadi was .nomposed Of
five 26-foot boilers placed on edge ana
in the focus OF ave channel-shaped mir
ror refiectors of parabolfc cross section,
totaling an area of ls.269 square feet OF
mirror surface. The maximum quantity
OF steam produced was - pounds per 10y
square foot OF mirror surface exposed
to the sun, and the maximum thermal
cent. The maximum output for an hour
was 55.5 brake horsepower, a result about
ten times as large as anything previously
attained, and equal 10 6S brake horse-
power per acre OF land occupied by the
plant. These results. according to Mr..
Alderman, seem to indicate the great
value Of solar boiler operation, especially
whore sunshine is plentiful and coal "
scarce.
