Mr.. Wilson's last note to Germany,
with the plain intimation that it is
the last, unless the Germans come to
terms, is all that his country or it's
allies could expect him to write. 1t is
a straight slap in the face to the bull
lies of Europe, who will rage i'm
potently as they realize the great
force there is behind it. It is not like
ly that Mr.. Wilson drew up his note
without knowing it suited our Allies.
He gives the Germans no chance to
squirm out of the position in which
they find themselves; at the same
time he gives the Germans an oppor-
tunity to obtain peace at once if they
want it badly enough to act fairly. 1t
is up to them.

of the Huns turned, next day, to con,

PLAYING TO THE DRESS CIRCLE

Weighing. the future welfare OF the
state against the small increase of tax
as the Star does, makes it hard for US
to undertake to "refute the argu-
ments," as the Star invites the Tri-
bune to. Any argument that will urge
the petty penny against the enlight-
ment of our children we do not know
how to answer. We pay taxes about
as heavy as any one else in the aver
age run of taxpayers, but if we
thought that our opposition would
take off the possible extra few cents
we expect to pay gladly, we would not
raise our voice so long as there is one
child uneducated in Florida or one
grown man who holds the dollar
above the child, or one paper that
esteemed it its duty to keep down the
educational, and therefore material,
moral and financial growth of this
state.-Tampa Tribune.
The foregoing is, misrepresentation
and playing to the dress circle. The
Tribune, well-to-do newspaper,
brands as mercenary the people who
oppose the amendment, not caring,
for of course it can't help knowing,
that it can raise thousand dollars
easier than tens of thousands of the
common people can raise five. Any
body living in another state would
suppose by reading the foregoing
from the Tribune that Florida is
backward, stingy to its schools and
that its children are STEPPED in ig-
norance. The truth is that the peo-
pie of Florida have already been more
generous in proportion to their means
to their schools than the people of the
average state. Also, their children
are better educated than the children
of any other southern state, and at
any other time the Tribune would take
great pride in saying so. Mr.. Stovall
knows the Star well enough, even if
his editorial writer doesn't, to know
it is not swayed by mercenary motives
in this matter, and the covert sneers
about petty penny against enlight-
enment,' or "a paper that wants to
keep down educational growth" are
evidently the product of a mind that
out of ignorance assumes to make
argument. The Star is not personally
concerned in the matter. 1t is not
rich, but in the mountain of other ex-
penses it carries it would not notice
the few additional dollars the tax
would impose on it. But this county
and state are full of people who will
notice it, because they are already
taxed to the limit of their capacity.
Florida school taxes are already gil
gantic, people are having to deny
! themselves the necessaries of life to
pay. them and to pay for books for
their children. To hear the Tribune
and the teacher-craft pirate one would
suppose that education was the only
duty the people owed their children
| that they do not owe them food nor
clothes nor good homes, nor healthy
amusement, nor anything but to load
them down with books and send them
to school. The school authorities of
| Florida are already receiving the
| lions share of the taxes, and if they
were handling their own money in
stead of the public's they would have
enough. Their carelessness, extrav-
agance and devotion to fads, rather
than devotion to the people, are their
incentives to demanding this addi-
tional taxation.
