names that are killed. never saw his

Do the people around there realize

- We notice the Cincinnati Enquirer
and other newspapers have deemed II
necessary TO publish editorials seeking
to correct false impression that a
good many people have in regard to
the word democracy" as used so much
In connection with this war. 1t has
been found that many persons with
but little or no education have the i'm
preston that all this talk about max
ing the world safe for democracy re-
fers to the political party in the Unit
cd States known as the Democratic
party. II seems almost silly to explain
that the word democracy was born
long time before the party that chose
chat name had come into existence,
and the party has no exclusive right
70 the word. 1t means practically the
same as the word republican" which
the other strong party in the country
adopted for name when it was form
cd. No. dear unsophisticated soul who
connects everything with narrow poll
teal partyism, the word democracy
beIongs to Republicans and Democrats
alike, IL they believe in a good govern
ment which elects its President. Cong
ressmen. Governors. etc. by vote of the
people. rather than being ruled by
a kaiser or emperor. This is not a
party war. 1t is greater than any par
ty. II you find poor shriveled soul
who fails to give his full sympathy and
support to democracy and republican
ism in this awful struggle between au-
tocracy and democracy because the
President happens to be member OF
party that chose that word democrat
nor its name. please try to tell him
where he Is mistaken. AS to the poll
tics, some Of the most important places
In the United States today are filled by
members of the Republican party. APP

COLORED WOMAN REFUSES
GOVERNMENT ALLOWANCE


Uncle Sam and his hired men do
not always have their own way. The
Treasury Department sent to an old
colored woman in Narcoossee check
for $25, payable to Florence Belle
Whitfield, of which SIS was for al
lotment from the military pay of her
son and $40 the government allow
ance. The usual series of questions
as to financial resources and depen-
dency accompanied the check.
Florence Whitfield has been tho
mother of thirteen children, which
she and her husband brought up and
gave the best education possible
earning the money to send them away
to school by the washtub route and
by daily wages of her husband. She
rather resented the inquisatorial tone
Of the queries. but replied plainly
to every one until asked whether she
was dependent on the soldier for
support. Her reply to this was that
she had six sons in the army and a
seventh one would reach military age
in December next; that she mad three
minor children of her own to sup
port and three grandchildren, but that
they would get along without the
government allowance and do the
best they could. She returned ire
$25 check and asked for one for $15
!. the amount Of her soldiers allot-
. ment. She also wanted them to un'
derstand that her name was not Flor
= ence Belle, but Florence Blue, hel
mother having named her after hel
