Americus times-recorder., 1920-03-30

BY w. J. BRYAN.

THE situation is so chaotic at pres
ent that no one can speak def
nitely as to the relative Importance
of issues. Whether the treaty will be
an issue or not will depend upon the
action of the senate. While | am
anxiously hoping that the treaty will
soon be ratified, and the League of
Nations established so that we can
turn our attention to the domestic
questions and do our duty to the
world, no one can speak with any as
surance at this time.
Whether prohibition will be an i'm
portant issue, no one can at this
writing determine. The action OF
the New Jersey legislature, in at
tempting to nullify the enforcement
act of congress, makes that for the
time being very important issue, but
that will probably be settled by the

BROTHER BLOWERS GETS
IT OUT OF HIS SYSTEM
Ocala. Fla. Sept. p. 1920.

0cala, Fla. Sept. p, 1920.
Editor Star: / have noticed that
ID your numerous articles opposing
the proposed constitutional amend
ment yon are very liberal with your
space, and frequently referring to the
campaign that is being put on IN
favor of the amendment, you ask the
question Who ii paying for it q" IN
tinating that il costs money to carry
on the campaign and that it takes coin
to get their stuff printed. I notice
that You run several columns every
week opposing the amendment. Did
1T ever occur to you that your read
ers may wonder who is paying for
the propaganda the Star. the Times
Union and Tampa Tribune are putting
out?
In your issue Of Monday the Goth
inst, you publish an opinion from the
attorney general given out that the
people may be enlightened as to the
real meaning Of the wording Of the
proposed amendment You comment
Ion it by saying that It supports the
Star in it's stand against the amend
ment, then you take up nearly coli
umn in abuse and mud singing. /
| am sure your readers wonder who is
paying for such valuable space.
In the same issue you print an
opinion given by Judge Gaines of
Leesburg, stating that Judge Gaines
sustains the Star ii his opinion. If
your readers will compare the two
lopinions they will see that they differ
very materially You further at
tempt to give strength to Judge
Gaines opinion by stating that he
has been appointed assistant attorney
/ general to Mr.. Buford. I heard Mr..
Buford give an opinion on the same
lquestion before convention compos-

We see no more reason why you
should charge mercenary motives to

weeks ago, and waded around among

Your opinion of Mr.. Swearingenis

We are liberal of our space with
the amendment because we have to

fool the Star Publishing Company
into the idea that we are earning our
salary, and the amendment seems to
be the best thing to be liberal with
just now. Tt does not cost news
paper any more to fill its columns with
opposition to bad law than to fill it
with extracts from the cookbook, and

interests the people most. However

COMO MINES SHUT DOWN

Scarcity of mners and the exces-
sive cost OF mine supplies will cause a
cessation of operations at the Como
Consolidated mine in this county until
spring. Gurney Gorden, manager of
the property. declares it is unwise to
continue operations, depicting the re-
sources OF the mine, under existing
conditions. The company has been
producing $4,000 month in silver
gold bullion at its mill. and conducting
an extenvive plan OF development. As
winter approached the miners grad
ually drew their time and drifted a
way to other camps,where conditions
were more to their liking. Bulkheads
will be constructed on the lower lev
els to keep the water back as much
as possible and when the mill is clean
up work will stop. A small force
probably will be retained The mine
is about II mics distant from theCom-
stock and has very promising future.
