TOM WATSON NAILED TO THE
CROSS

Probably the most severe excoria-
ton of Thomas E. Watson ever de-
clared in a public meeting in Georgia
was that by Hon. M. l.. Britain, at
day morning.
Quite recently meeting was held
in Gwinnett county to protest"
against the selective draft law, and
for some time there has been a more
or less considerable agitation in that
section against the policies of the ma
tional democratic administration in
connection with the war.
Mr.. Britain was invited to speak on
Education and Citizenship" and in
the course of his remarks said:

the soft light of whose brown ewes
there shines his mothers gentle spir-

Royal to join the mraines to serve
his country in this time of peril. But
in this sadness there is a pride in
his response to his country's call and
| would not change places with those

led into treason by following that

with ours. were mere novels OF
Wretchedness.

We can say with Macaulay that the
more we study the annals Of the past,
the more we rejoice that We live in a
merciful age. in an age in which
cruelty is abhorred. and in which pain
even when deserved. is inflicted re-
luctantly. and from a sense of duty
only, and the class which has gained
most by this moral and intellectual
change is the class which is the poor
est, the most dependent and the most
defenseless.
No one can read the annals of his
tory fairly and unprejudicedly with
out concluding that the world is grow
ing better from all points of view and
throughout all the ramifications Of
life
If the world we're not growing bet
ter it would be sad commentary and
reflection upon the softening. mellow
ing ard humanizing influences of our
Christian religion.

THE T.-U's. PATRIOTIC FERvoR

The T-U. always has its little wet
blanket hanging out on the line
ready for use.
For example little items like the
following appear in its columns daily.
we went into the war to make
democracy safe and to maintain the
right Of all and sundry to self-govern-
ment: we must rush now to save our
trends, who seem entirely willing to
be saved. We have sent our money.

lion of us have gone, the rest must

somewhat strenuous, out that matters

And some people wonder why Jack
sonville failed to get one of the can.

rial utterances of the T.-U. for any
considerable length of time the sol

GREENRACKS VS.. BONDS

There is now talk Of another liberty
bond issue in September. We hope
not We did all in our power for the
success of the former issue, and will
do our part in case anothe" is launch
ed by the authorities, bui what we
need is something that VIII make ev-
eryone do his part, selectiyedratt
plan. if you please.
In Florida. where money is worth
10 per cent. every man who purchases
a liberty bond does so purely as an
act of patriotism, hence the willing
ones are the burden bearers.
Again. there is no necessity for
great country like the United States,
the richest in the world. and always
will be. or borrowing money and pay
ing interest to anybody. If the mon
ev is needed for defense purposes
and it is-the government can tax US
to the limit OF half our earthly pos
sessions. and we shall not complain
provided hat the government at the
same time makes others pay their
proportionate part. No exceptions
must be made where the individuals
belong to the same class.
This article would become too long
to enter into a discussion as to how
this may be accomplished. but it can
be and must be done. Should not a
question of such vital character be
fully discussed in the press of the
country now. before the government
has decided upon a plan, when one is
likely to be considered unpatriotic to
oppose it?-Arcadia News.
In the humble judgment of this pa
per. there is no need whatever for the
United States government to issue
any bonds at all to carry on the war.
If congress had the courage to author
ize and direct the issuing Of several
billion dollars in greenbacks and TO
make them a legal tender for all debts
both public and private. the financial
problem. if there is any such problem,
would be solved It would be the sim
plest possible act of finaciering and
would save both the government and
the people many millions of dollars.
It would obyiate the necessity for
levying any more direct taxes upon
the people and at the same time it
would save the government and the
people millions of dollars that, other
wise. would be paid for interest on
bonds
What is a greenback anyhow but a
non-interest bearing bond? 1t is the
governments promise to pay, and a
bond is nothing more. save that it
bears interest,
1t is passing strange that congress
cannot see what an immense advan-
tage for the country greenbacks have
over bonds. If the members cannot
see this, they have no business being
in congress. If they can and do see
it and refuse to put it into effect, what
are we to think? That there are bale
full influences at work?
Why tax the people to death when
there is absolutely no reason for it?
An issue Of greenbacks means that
every man owning as much as dol
lar bill becomes q bondhoIder. and is
personally interested in maintaining
the credit of the government and the
stability of its currency.-Punta Gorda

HOW Has CATS ESCAPED?

Governor Ferguson Of the great
state CT Texas is under impeachment.
and surely he has brought less unfa-
vorable criticism upon Texas than
our governor has inflicted upon the
state of Florida.
How has Cats escaped?
Have mis- oHenses been less griev-
Gus?
While it is to be deplored and is
Unfair and unfortunate TO the people
of the state that Florida should be
made the butt and ridicule of the ns

not alIude to the undignified letters
Governor Cats addressed to the At
lanta Constitution, the Baltimore Man
ufacturers' Record, and to the attOr-
nev general of the United States. but
shall refer to the graver affairs in
which the laws of the state have been
over-ridden and set at defiance by the
present chief executive.
According to the published state
men of Ex-Governor Gilchrist, Govern
or Cats has removed from office Of
fcials elected by the sovereign voters
of the state simply and solely to
make places for his favorites and
henchmen, and for no other reason in
the world.

of the constitutional grounds of re-

he was absent from the state for
about a month, without notice and
without leave and was then still al
sent

Ex-Governor Gilchrist says these

How long are they to continue?

Mrs. Roy Wiggett.

Mrs. Roy Wiggett, who lived at

about eight o'clock in the morning
and she lived until four o'clock in

Mrs. Wiggett leaves three small
children, who need a mothers care.
This case is particularly sad and
the sympathy of all goes to the
husband and motherless children.
