anu at this time has an application
for pardon pending. A new chapter
is written in the affairs as shown by
the following from the Tampa Tri-
bune.
Haunted with the face of MUIR
dered man for five long years and
unable to longer stand the strain of
such secret in his breast, Irwin Ste
wart walked into the sheriff's office
yesterday morning and, asking for
Sheriff White, told of his part in the
murder and burning of Joseph l..
Wread of Nichols on the night Of
April 8, 1913.
Mitchell Anderson, convicted of the
crime on purely circumstantial evil
dence and sentenced to serve life
time Imprisonment for the murder,
will be denied pardon which is now
before the board and which would
probably have been granted on his
plea that the conviction was on pure
ly circumstantial evidence, with the
confession made yesterday by Stew
art, who told the gruesome story Of
the shooting and burning of the old
man, before his very eyes.
Stewart said yesterday he had
found God and hoped his giving him
self up to the law would be an ex>
|! ample for other young men, who were
walking the left-hand road. He said
he wanted to do what was right and
that he was willing to take his pun
| isnment.
f Stewart, according to his confess
sion, had no actual part in the muir
e de; of Wread. He accompanied An
: derson to the victims house, and
| called him to the spot where he was
q shot with a shotgun by Anderson, and
after these long years he has come
to the front with his story, the stor~
which may keep Anderson in prison
for the remainder of his life.
Stewart was arrested at the time

The time is not far distant when
the Government will need all the help
1t can get from every intelligent and
patriotic leader of men, and from
none more than from Mr.. Roosevelt,
whose personal following is still the
greatest and most devoted in the
country.
We wonder sometimes whether the
President appreciates how many hum

feel sense of personal tragedy in
the shelving of one who must be re-
garded a. the most generally recog-
nized, II not actually the foremost,
patriot in the land, In this hour of

the country acquiesced in the Presi-

JOSEPH WAS WISE

The wisdom of Joseph in provid-

mended to the people of Georgia by
Andrew M. Soule, federal food adj
ministrator. DR.. Soule insists it be-
= hooves the people to continue the
limitations on consumption and store
UP for the demands of the future, an
unprecedented surplus.
There is no justification, and can
be none for selfish indulgence in food.
1t will be time enough when this war
is overland there is no reason to
believe that it will be over for sew
eral years to conl", to think about
changing our food habits. 1t is Am
erica's duty to feed Europe now, and
this duty will be even more important
as time goes on.
America can not eat prodigiously
as has been her habit, and retain Ell
Their her own self respect or the good
will of the Allies, and others in Eu-
rope who are dependent upon her
production.
The possibilities of short crops
are too imminent to admit of any
change in our food program We
must have such surplus stored up
as never before for as never before
: has the task of feeding the world
been Immediately upon us. We must
save, save, save of our wheat and of
our meat, which are taking an in
creasingly important part in the de-
