MAKING LAW A JOKE
(Palatka NeWS.)


Putnam county has not been besmirched by
acts of bands and thugs and criminals who
semble in numbers to assault and intimidate cti-
zens and officers of the law who interfere with
their unlawful pursuits, but the time may come
when the general disregard for law and order
will be so widespread that this county, like others
of Florida will suffer the stain.
The kidnapping and brutal whipping of dep
uty sheriff at Hastings early Tuesday morning
should cause all law abiding citizens serious
thought If county authorities are not competent
to cope with such lawessness and brutality, it is
high time that the state itself take up the work
of ferreting out these bands of ruians and seeing
that just punishment is melted out to them
Flagler county was taken out and beaten. On
down the east coast in Volusa one al
most killed following the murder OF another man
in his house In Miami there have been
several cases of similar nature well in
other sections of the state Ii this is permitted
to continue and the guilty so unpublished, it will
not be long before every man may feel that he is
unsafe from the brutal outbreaks of personal re-
sentiment the part of some ruffian who
assemble few of his fellows and drag him off
in the night and, by superior numbers, administer
indgnties that would be justification for Staying
his attackers.

EXPOSING THE PROTOCOLS

The famous Jewish protocols, of which so
much has been said recently in Fords Dearborn
Independent, bad forgery, or rather pla-
galsm old French satire. according to cor
respondent writing in the New York Sunday
Times from Constantinople.
He claims to have met man, whose name is
withheld. who had found, while rumaging in the
second hand bookstores, an old volume, with the
title page tern off, containing an imaginary con-
versaon between Montesquieu and Machiavelli,
supposed to have taken place in a desolate part
Of the internal regions, in which shades of these
eminent publicsts discussed sarcastically on the
rulership and policies of Napoleon ILL.,
Monesquieu, taking of course, the part of the
advocate CT liberal laws and humane government,
is met by Machiavelli who, drawing en- his system
Of politics, as set forth in The Prince" describes
in terms of appreciation the truly Machiavellan
policy Of the Little" Napoleon.
The protocols, it is alleged are merely para
phrases Of this conversation with such alterations
only necessary to change the lenses from
the present 10 the future and the style from one of
description to of advice
The following quotations are sufficient to show
the mode Of construction:
Machiavelli.-"Like the god Vishnu my
press will have hundred arms, and these
will give their hands to all the different
shades of opinion throughout the country"
Protocols p. a.
These newspapers, like the Indian god
Nishnu, wa be possessed of hundreds of
hands each of which will be feeling the pulse
of varying public opinion"
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. | understand the fig
ure OF the god Vishnu you have hundred
arms like the Indian idol, and each of your
fingers touches SPRING
Protocols, p. 65:-
Our government will resemble the Hindu
god Vishnu. Each of our hundred hands will
hold one spring of the social machinery Of
state"

posed 10 be set up by the elders Of Sion was

WINTER TOURIST RATES TO FLORIDA
pensacola Journal.)

pensacola Journal)
Railroad officials having announced that winter
tourist rates to Florida will be on sale in all
territories this season from October LIST until
April 3Oth with final return limit May 31st, tile
Florida Development board suggests that October
1st be observed Post Card day
Personal messages to acquaintances in other
states advising them that reduced rates are
available and suggesting that the recipients and
their friends take advantage OF the opportunity
to come to Florida at once and avoid the cold
weather Of early fall in northern states should
prove very effective in stimulating early tourist
travel and heightened tourist season.
Each community is advertised by this method
to the extent the people participate in sending
out the messages. Last year a number of cham
bers of commerce and other agencies offered
cash prizes for the greatest number OF pose cards
mailed ON Post Card day. The Sarasota chamber
of commerce improved upon the post card plan
by sending 400 day-etter kilograms, which they
later appraised as having been very much worth
while.

Washington.-Aut to readjust
the entire foreign loan situation SO
that the nations outstanding credits
may be put in more definite form
is Ito be requested of Congress In the
near future by the administration.
The administrators plan. which
was discussed at length at cabinet
meeting. contemplates conversion OF
the loans owed by European nations
into interest-bearing certificates which
could be absorbed by American BUSH
ness and commercial interests.
congress will be asked by Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon to give to his
department sufficient authority to
make these conversions In some cases
fHe department already has that
authority under the Liberay Loan act.
bht there are other instances, particu-
Idrfy relating to overdue interest,
where. additional legislative action is
necessary. e
i II, is understood that the Presidents
pblicy with regard to unpaid interest
cbntemplates distribution of the over
due payments over a long period, OF
Years. An increase in the interest
rate would be used to absorb these
amounts.
The administration plan Is to have
the foreign governments substitute for
the promissory notes aggregating more
than $1,000 100000 now held by this
Hation. long-term bonds bearing an
interest rate yet to be determined
upon. While there is little prospect of
such bonds being used to take up Lib
erty bonds for seme time. it is believed
that this might be possible after con-
sdifions becomej sfapiIized Ia Europe. It
dlso is considered possible that some
Of the bonds hight be placed success
fully on the Iharket after period OF
years.
I Two defini9e principles have been
adopted in considering funding opera
tions The first Is that NO part Of
either principal or interest shall be
forgiven" The other Is that while
interest achcumulated up to the: time
the funding operation Is completed
hay be spread out in one way or an
other. interest accumuiating after the
funding operation-or from some fixed
date soon thereafter-shall be payable
At regular intervals.
That no payments Of principal or in
terest which would 60 to lessen the
domestic taxes, at least for year or
two, viii be made on the foreign obli-
cations. was apparently accepted when
