Where Do the Other Common People Come In?
Those who remember some Of the campaign prom
ises made by the present occupant of the
chair, when he soliciting the votes of the people,
may also remember that he dwelt very largely on
the benefit ADMINISTRATION conducted by him
would be to the common people.
He is quoted lately, saying that the common
people of the state have only three friends Sears
Robuck Jesus Christ and Sidney j. Cats" The
blasphemy is not ours.
The Gainesville News digs up something that will
indicate to just what extent the is solicit
tious for the common people of the state 1t gives
list of the family appointments made by the gov
together with the salaries fees drawn from
the common people of the state for the benefit of
the Cats family. The list is as follows:
Daughter-Private secretary: salary $4,000 year.
Secretary to the state board of institutions and
board of pardons; salary $1,000 year.
Son-Adjutant general of the state; salary $4,000
year.
Son-Naval stores inspector of West Florida; fees
about $4,000 year.
Son-Harbor master at Key West; fees in excess

The governors salary is $1,000 with a contingent

high prices of labor and building material. these
cities growing steadily. When they
are unleashed from the bonds of high prices of ma

doubled speed the like Of which will be astound

"In the shoe stocks which I will

Musz declared, "and desire to administer
our own affairs as far as possible and
have our own judges, teachers and cler-

attended the recent meeting at Rends-
burg were agreed tnat whether we
remained attached to Prussia or became
distinctively Ganoverians or Schleswig-

remain a part of the German nation.
Hamburg and Lubbock may become
incorporated in our movement, and l
believe that all the German nationa j.

Mecklenburgers, the Westpnalians, the
Pomerians demand home rule
as we of Schleswig- Holstein sre doing,
and that Germany will gradually de-
velop into federated republic like the

BERLIN, March 8.--Following the re.

peror William, for engaging in an as.
sault upon Captain Roughevin, n French
officer with the Inter-Alled mission
in this city, at the Hotel Adlon Satur.
day night, it was announced tonight
that the heads of the Inter-Allied com.
missions had decided to refer the in
cident to the Supreme Council in Lon
don. They deemed this advisable
rather than to permit it to remain the
subject of negotiations between France
and Germany.
General Nollet, chief of the French
military mission in Berlin, and the
French charge d'affaires, had conver-
saton with the Foreign Minister The
minister is said to have expressed re-
gret over the incident vand promised
that the culprits would be>punished.
Gustav Noske, Minister OF Defense
ordered the arrest Of Baron Won Platen
who was in Prince Joachims party at
the time Of the assault
The assault occurred in the dining
room, the prince and his friends
hurling candles, crockery and other
missiles at Captain Roughevin and his
party, who had refused to stand while
the orchestra was playing "Deutsch
land uber Allies" Captain Roughevin
was beaten and his clothes were torn.
Waiter Refuses Him Service.
When the prince entered the Adlon
for luncheon the following day, Sun
day, he was told by the head waiter
that he could not be served, and that
if he insisted upon taking a seat at a
table the walters would strike.
Joachim thereupon left the building. It
is believed the attitude OF the walters
is due to decision of their union,
which is opposing the reactionaries
1t is not known here whether the
French have taken any action as a
consequence Of the incident, but it is
expected that it will lead to unpleas-
antness for the German government
Press Regrets Incident
The newspapers of all shades of
opinion express regret over the Incl
dent. The Conservative organs point
out that the prince was respons Bile,
by giving the signal for the attack,
which is termed by the "Welt-am-
Montag" the "Hohenzollern victory at
the Adlon." The caption placed over
the account of the incident by Die
Freiheit' is, "Prince's knavish esca-
pade." 1t alleges that for weeks an
increasing effort has been manifested
in nationalist circles in Berlin to re-
vive the spirit OF 1914 and provoke
collisions with persons holding op-
posing views, especially representatives

"If we were to reject Article X or

passage SO construed, eve would have
learned no lesson from the war, but
gained only the regret that it had in
volved US in it's maelstrom of suffer-
ing"
Democratic Senators grimly refused
to comment when asked whether th, y
thought the President really meant Vt
would have been better for this coun
try not to have gone into the war al
all than to have Article X fail The
furthest any Democratic Senators
questioned on this would go was a
statement that he did not believe the
President meant to say he would have
preferred for Germany to have won
the war.
II have nothing to say about that"
said Mr.. Hitchcock when asked about
this point.

Senator King. who was vigorously pro
Ally and anti-Cerman before this coun-
try entered the war.
Political Angle niscerned
The Presidents letter was taken gen
orally here particularly in connection
with his letter to the jackson Day
dinner on January 8, to mean that Mr..
Wilson desires to take ne treaty fight
into the campaign. unless III course,
he can force ratification without any
thing but the mildest reservations in
the meantime. His letter was taken to
mean that he had given up any thought
he might have had in January of win
ming his f"ht in the Senate.
This revived, of course the thought
that many have had since January,
when it was learned that the President
probably would be in physical shape to
make a campaign for reelection. if he
desired to do so, that the President
himself would seek a third term 1t
also caused much interest in the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Palmer, who declared in a
speech at Harrisburg on Saturday night
that the peace treaty would be the
issue.
To-day's letter, therefore, was taken
by many to be addressed more to the
American people in general and the
Democratic party in particular, as a
campaign document, than as a plea for
votes in the Senate.
