THE STATE CAPITAL

Tallahassee, Fla, April The
county seat removal fight in Wash
ington county between Vernon, the
present capital, Chipley and Wausau,
in which Vernon won at the polls on
the twentieth of this month, has also
been thrashed out in the governors
office more than once during the past
few weeks First the people of Yer
non wanted the tax assessor removed
for alleged irregular payment of poll
taxes, and now this week there is a
Chipley delegation here trying to
have the registration officer of that
county removed for alleged irregular
registration. Much of the time of
the governor and his office force has
been consumed in this county seat
fight, which should have been settled
at home. Governor Cats says that
he does not intend to be bothered
with these long hearings in the fu-
ture and will require the evidence
briefed and the testimony written be-
forehand, simply allowing each side
a short oral argument.

Makes RoofeTs Work Easier.

The tin roofer formerly received his
metal in the shape of plates, and these
were soldered together as they were
used. This operation consumed a great
deal of time, as 1t was generally done
on the scene of the work under adverse
conditions, but recently there has been
introduced a machine which soldiers
these sheets together and delivers them
in a roll of any desired length, so that
the workman is saved much time In
assembling the sheets on the roof. The
sheets, with edges locked, are hooked
together and fed into the machine,
one seam being cold pressed while the
n before it is hot pressed. The ma
chine is worked by one man. The
capacity of the machine is four seams
per minute, or 20 boxes of tin plate per
day. The economy and speed of this
arrangement for the workman will be
evident to anyone.

THEM THE MAILS.

Col Roosevelt's denunciation of
some of the German newspapers of
this country is fully justiied-if not
by anything which they have thus far
printed, surely by the menace of what
they may print and disseminate. Amer
leans are proverbially poor linguists,
as compared with Europeans; and it
is possible in this country for one
foreign-language Newspaper circulating
through the mails, in one issue, to
communicate facts of irreparable dam
age to military plans, 1t needs no
censorship law to wipe put this men,
ace. The postal laws as they exist are
Hlficient. Yet, while the administra-
ton has been striving with might and
main to procure a rigid censorship of
the press in general-which, as has
repeatedly been shown, needs no such
supervision-it has neglected it's plain
powers in the face of the unmistakable
dangers presented by the v%ernaeular
press.

SANS LATEST ULTIMATUM.

Again a time limit is being set upon
legislation by congress. Samuel Com
pers has told the President that the
food bills must" be passed before July
first. The word is a strong one, but
the country has been accustomed to
hear it from Mr.. Gomper's lips. Last
fall it was the Adamson law which
must" be passed before seven o'clock
IN a given morning. Now it is bills
10 regulate food distribution which
must be passed before a date named.
Whether congress will be as compla-
cent now as it was last September, we
viii not undertake to say. But we hope
the day will come when congress will
utter a few "musts' of it's own, when
it will tell superseryiceable outsiders
that they must attend to their own
business.

Not the least of the sad elements in
volved in the attitude of some of the
pacifsts is the loss of personal in
fuence which they are undergoing by
reason of their unrestrained senti-
ments of pro-Germanism. Prominent
among those who are thus suffering
for their convictions is Miss Jane
Adams, whose good works have fol-
lowed her 10, these many years, but
whose activities cannot fail to be linn
tied in the future by the recollection
of the things which she is o saying.
In a recent public meeting held in a
church near Chicago, Miss Adams
took occasion to say that this nation
should have taken thought of the feel
ings of it's German-born citizens be-
fore entering the war-a remark which
called forth a sharp rebuke from a
former judge of the Illinois supreme
court who was in the audience, who
acknowledged his long friendship and
cooperation with Miss Adams in her
work and who said that he could moi
continue those relations while she
maintained and uttered the sentiments
she had just expressed. Her sim
cerity no one will doubt, and the price
she will pay for her lack Of judgment
all will recognize. 1t is a great pity
-as it is a great wonderland the
founder of Hull House, where real
A~merieanism has been so well taught
all these years. should not have taken
to herself the lessons of the institu-
ton. Some seek to explain it by re-
calling that Hull House of late has
shown decided tendencies toward so
cialism. 1t this be true, it emphasizes
the danger of academic socialism,
which, as events of every day are now
showing, cannot be translated into
terms of action which are compatible
with whole-hearted patriotism. Among
the tasks which war has brought upon
us. therefore, is hat of scrutinizing
all the centers where socialism is in
culcated, to the end that they may not
be turned into training camps for
traitors.
