GERMAN PEOPLE WILL BLESS
AMERICA.

81 hate the German government
with consuming hatred, because she
has made the people of my blood and
kindred the outcasts of the world, the
Ishmaelites of civilization. This trans
formation of a people into a race of
demons whose very name is anathema
among the generous minded people of
the world, is the result of system of
education designed to further the self
ish aims of an autocrat"
With voice vibrant Of passion and
strong in denunciation, Peter w. Goe-
bel, of Kansas City, former president
of the American Bankers association,
now Kansas chairman of the war saw
ings and thrift campaign, a native of
that same Germany, but as stalwart
an American as any who boasts gen
erations of American-born ancestry,
voiced the spirit of awakened Ameri-
canism in the course of the most vital
ly eloquent and elementally powerful
address that was heard from the plat
form during the entire two DAYS ses-
sion of the Kansas Bankers associa-
tion convention at Hutchinson, re-
Gently.
"As lad of ID years." said Mr..
Goebel, Il lived in German garrison
city. There l have seen little, insig-
nificant sergeants and sub-lieutenants
strike in the face strong men privates
in the ranks; I have seen them spit
in their faces; | have heard them call
these soldiers the most vile epithets
that ever fouled human lips, and these
men were forced by the iron discipline
OF Prussia to stand and endure those
insults. That is why l am enlisted in
this war with every energy possess
and with every dollar l own, to the
end that the world and my kindred
may be ever rid of the foulest TYRANNY
that ever disgraced and blackened the
page of history with the recital of the
outrages. | know that future genera
tions in Germany will bless the day
tnat America entered this war on the
side OF liberty and humanity. I know
this, the German people will celebrate
the anniversary of that day with the
same reverent thankfulness that we
Americans celebrate the Fourth of
July as the day upon which the ulti-
mate emancipation of Germany from
the most damnable tyranny of history
was declared"

the railroad administration is SYM
pathetic administration, that we are
not doing things in cold-blooded or
arbitrary way, and that the people of

with that fact. We want your re-
spect and your cooperation in the
work that we have to do down here,

ter in that spirit, and when we make
a decision, we may be wrong, and it
may become necessary for US to make
another decision. But I want you to
understand clearly the position of the
railroad administration in this matter.

The evening leader., 1918-07-12

hearing of our demand for a "war
need" western railroad route into this
state, said: "We need money today
for the most important things that
any government ever needed it." That
means, for winning the war.
Until this war is won there is moth
ing else that matters; and unless this
war is won everything else is labor
lost.
Tampa and the west coast believe
they can show Mr.. Winchell that this
is real war need; that through this
thing will be saved time, which is the
essence of all things in war; that
through this thing will be saved pro-
duce of az norishable sorts, now so in
tensely needed for feeding the nation,
its men and its allies; that through
this thing will be saved labor, the fun
damental upon which all industry is
based.
We believe we can show the region
al director these things to be facts,
evident and presumptive; but if we
cannot show this, then we demand
that the regional director turn aside
from this project which will thus have
been proved detr;ment to winning
the war, and devote his whole atten-
ton to making strong such lines as
his depart aent finds most needful for
the winning.
There is none of the "dog in the
manger" in South Florida or in West
Florida, or in the state entire. We
are unit in demanding the best for
the government, for the nation, for
the people as a whole; we are unit
in demanding that all sectional strife
which would serve to delay the pro-
gram, hinder its progress, or prevent
its final accomplishment, be buried;
we demand for all important, and even
for the non-essential things, so-called,
that BIG broad-minded men, men who
can lift their eyes and sweep the state
at a glance comprehensive, be placed
in positions of trust, honor and serv-
ice.
The west coast of Florida wants
this western route because it believes
it to be the logical solution of the
problem of delayed and too expensive
transportation, freight and passen-
gers; but West Florida wants, more
than anything else, a united front
against the common enemy of all
the states, that beast, which must be
destroyed, or else the nations of the
world will ihave no need for traffic
lines save only to fatten and extend
its gluttonous paunch.

WHO WANTS A COMMISSION
FORN OF GOVERNMENT?

Not the men who stand for nothing
in city-they do not care what kind
of government the city has.
Is it the men who control lie city
administration who are ANXIOUS to
have better form of city govern
ment? If it was they would have es-
tablished a commission form long
ago, as it is in their power to call an
election and there is no doubt that
the people at large will say in unmis-
taxable language at the polls that
they want a change in the city admin
istration.
So many citizens have expressed
their disappointment in the present
administration that we feel sure if an
election was called not less than
eighty per cent of the vote would be
against the present incumbents if
their names were before the people.
Among those who have expressed
themselves in writing is Mr.. Frank
w. Swift, who conducted the Inn here
last winter and who expects to return
the coming season. He remarked in
letter we received last week;
"Put over that commission
form of government by all means
1t will mean lot for the place.
Tarpon has future, but it is not
anything that is going to come
along without an effort. The way
things are at present, I am frank
to say, would discourage the most
optimistic"
The above is the general expression
of the citizens who stand for the best
interests of the city first and last and
do not believe in city government
being conducted along the lines OF
personal spite.
We are hoping the citizens of Tar,
pom Springs will not allow themselves
TO be sidetracked but will persist un
til our city has government fitting
its commercial Importance. Tarpor
Springs ought to be fully as large &
city as st. Petersburg. Why has il
advanced so slowly while our sister
city has leaped ahead? Not so many
years ago Tarpon Springs was larger
than st. Petersburg and she has al
the tourist attractions possessed by
our sister city besides being the cen
ter of the great sponge reefs and the
natural location for the sponge fish.
ing headquarters.
To our present business add the
tourist business, and st. Petersburg
would have to look to her laurels OF
the next census would give greater
population to Tarpon Springs thar
to st. Petersburg.
The business men of the city want
a commission form of government
VIII they get it?

quota the state campaign committee
in charge OF Fred l.. White. direc-
