SPAIN. leader of the center party said:
Our confidence in submarine war

possible termination of the war. The
German nation will continue in future

about our giving up our plans to all

An old citizen, a Virginian, told
yesterday how he, when a boy, had
listened to the bands of the northern
and southern armies play at coming
of evening on opposite sides of the
Rappahanock over fifty years ago. A
band on the northern bank would
strike up "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," and one on the southern shore
would reply with "Dixie" or "The
Bonnie Blue Flag" and the soldiers
on each side would cheer. Then would
come pause and then from both
banks of the historic river would rise
the strains of 4Home, Sweet Home"
followed by a silence that showed
feeling too deep for utterance. 1t is
because the bands of then enemies
could join as friends in that we'll
loved tune, and because America was
Home, Sweet Home," to the men of
both armies, that their sons and
grandsons can stand side by side to-
day and show a solid front to a for
eign foe.

1t is now known that the American
fleet carrying troops across the At
lantic to France was attacked by
Prussian submarines on the way.
Secretary Daniels gave out the well
come news Monday that the attack
made eleven days before had been
beaten off. Now, is there any reason
why the American people should not
have been told of the battle the day
after it occurred. 1t is evident that the
Germans knew of the sailing of the
transports and made an attack on
them, which would have resulted in
some of the ships being sunk and
thousands of our soldiers being
drowned if our efficient seamen hadn't
beaten off the attack. The American
people meantime hadn't been told the
feet had sailed. No stronger proof
of the foolishness of the censorship
could be given.

At a meeting in New York a few
days ago, the theory was advanced
that negroes are leaving the South be-
cause they are lynched here. We hope
all the class of negroes that are
lynched in the South win go north,
but in doing SO we think they will
swap a witch for devil with horns,
hoof and tail. There were more ne
groes murdered in East st. Louis in
three days than have been lynched in
the South in as many years. And not
one of them had committed the crime
the South lynches a negro for.

Last Thursday Governor Cats an
nounced the appointment of Joe L.
Earman of Duval as chairman of the
state plant board. This is another
joke on the prohibitionists who made
Cats election possible. Mr.. Earman
is good citizen all right, but he is
"a rank anti-prohibitionist, and until
within the last few years has been
actively engaged in the liquor bust
ness. At present Mr. Earman is the
publisher of the Palm Beach Post, a
paper that was openly opposed to
Cats in the recent election.-Fort
Lauderdale Herald.
Cats probably expects his help in
the next election.

The Plant City Courier sounds real
sarcastic when it says: "Some of the

whisky salesman was named on this
body. Such mistakes are likely to be
made, however, as the governor has
been in the state only few years and
is not well acquainted with men and
measures"
