Senator Duncan u. Fletcher is now
in Florida, having run down from
Washington during the Christmas va
cation, to shake hands with his
friends. He has selected Arthur T.
Williams of Jacksonville, to act as his
campaign manager and arrangements
will be made soon to have the sena-
tor meet all the people his duties will
permit. Don't worry, senator-you
are all right and the people know it.
We wish you merry Christmas
Gainesville Sun.
Mr. Williams is one of the most
staunch and able democrats in Flor
ida. For him to manage Senator Flet-
cher's campaign augurs success.

THE WRECKERS' EXCUSE"

A leading Canadian paper, the To-
ronto Mail and Empire, put the case
correctly, when it says:
Republican senators who have re-
jected the peace, treaty and league of
nations as presented for their ratifi-
cation by President Wilson realize the
gravity of the responsibility they are
undertaking. They are on the defen-
sive, and have been trying to justify
their attitude by blaming the allied
powers for taking too much for grant
ed with regard to President Wilson.
They say that he did not represent
the United States. Obviously he did
not represent the majority opinion in
Congress. AS a party man he is in
the minority. The point is that he
did not attend the Paris conference
as the leader of the democratic party
in the United States. He attended as
the representative of all the people of
the United States, of every American
citizen. Indeed, the president at
ti,res seemed TO feel he represented
more than the American nation, that
he represented humanity and civiliza~
ton itself. Senators made no formal
protest when it was announced that
the president intended violating an
unwritten part of the United States
constitution to the effect that no pres
ident should set foot on foreign soil
in his term of Office. Nobody arose to
warn Europe in advance that the ac-
credited representative of the United
States was merely the fnouthpiece of
faction.
What would have been thought by
the American people if Lloyd George
or Clemenceau, with a shrewder idea
of American politics than that pos
sessed by the president himself, per-
ceived that Mr.. Wilson was speaking
only for minority and had declined
to accept him as the representative of
the nation? There would have been a
terrible outburst of indignation on the
part of the United States. Every
American, regardless of politics, would
have felt that he had been personally
insulted. 1t would have been almost
"a casus belli. It would have been suf-
| ficient to make the United States cut
every tie connecting it with the AL
lies and form separate agreement
with Germany. In short, it would
have been an incredible outrage. So
long as Mr.. Wilson is president of the
United States he is the chief represen-
tative of the United States. A presi-
dent continues to be the representa-
tive of the United States even in the
interim after his own defeat for re.
election and the Inauguration of his
successor. One may believe either
that patriotism or partisanship has
animated the republican foes of the
treaty. He ought not to be expected
to listen to ridiculous excuses on then
part which seek to throw the respon.
sibility for hte present situation upor
the Allies.

NOTICE

Due to the general advance in price
of all commodities the members of the
Marion County Medical Society at
their regular monthly meeting held
Dec. IL, 1919, decided it was necessary
to make an advance in their fees, the
present fees having been in effect for
great many years. This action has
been contemplated for some time, and
was only adopted after thorough dis
cussion. Physicians fees have advanc-
ed all over the country and Marion
county doctors are among the last to
adopt a new fee bill. The new sched-
ule will become effective Jan. LIST,
1920, as follows:
Day visits in the city, So.
Night visits in the city, So.
A night visit shall be considered as
one made between p. m. and a. m.

Short Measure in Canned
Goods to Have Attention
!. of Federal Authorities

Federal food inspectors have been
instructed to watch for interstate ship
mentS OF canned foods which have
been slack-filled; that is. which con-
tain too much water and too little
solid food. Officials of the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture, who are charged with
the enforcement of the federal food
land drugs act, say that action under
the law will be taken against viola
tors.
: The practice Of slack-filling food
cans, in the opinion of the officials, is
,demOraliZing to the trade and unfair
ito the consumer. To put a full can in
competition with a slack-filled can
places the honest Gamer at a disad-
vantage. The consumer almost inva-
riably receives more for his money
when buying a full can than when
buying a slack-filled can even though
he pays higher price for the full can.
In some instances. however, when the
Gamer sells his slack-filled cans to the
trade at prices lower than the market
price for full can. the consumer is
CAdIScu as much AOr ule Sidch-Hlleu
can as for the full can. In such cases
both the Gamer and the dealer share
in unfair profits at the expense of the
consumer.
Putting excess liquid in cans adds
unnecessary expense In canning, stor-
ing and shipping, since the excess
liquid requires more cans and in
creases freight and storage charges all
along the hne-thrOugh the hands Of
the Gamer, broker, the wholesale and
the retail grocer. Since this addition
al and useless expense is borne inva-
iriably by the consumer, 1t adds its
part to the high cost of living.

to this office from people who have
not. received their ballots for the
straw vote that is to be taken on the
question of the Link River dam. The

called to this delinquency yesterday,
and he stated that ballots had been
mailed to every stOckholder of re-
cord We furnished him with names
of stockholders who have been on
the list for years and ii seems strange,
to say the least. that these people
should have failed to receive the bal
lots necessary to express their wish
op-this important matter. Some let
ters have been sent out without bal
lots being inclosed. and these people
will be unable to vote unless this
n,istake is corrected.

that has been made by the people to
