The Leaders, in receipt Of the fol
lowing letter from guest at din
ner given to celebrate the 78rd birth
day Of Mr.. %. w. Drummonds, a
highly respected citizen Of the 9th
district.
Editor Leader-It has seldom been
the writer's good luck to enjoy a
dinner, more and to be more hos
pitably treated than when he was at
the home Of Mr.. J. w. Drummonds
on the 18th inst,
1t was Mr.. Drummonds' 73rd birth
day. About 100 Of his friends were
present. The most exacting person
would have been agreeably surprised
at the repast. Viands Of various
kinds were there to allure the taste
Of the most fastidious epicure. Two
large taes were kept replenished
till all the guests were satisfied.
After having eaten, our conclusion
was that the South yet has a suf-
flciency Of food products. 1t was
genuine, old-fashioned Southern hos
pitality.
MI. j. w. Drummonds and his
brother, ESQ. s. X. Drummonds, who
has been a justice of the peace in
linton county for perhaps 40 years,
lived in Randolph when that town
was in its zenith Of its glory. They
remember nearly all the old residents
of Randolph who were mentioned in
recent issue Of The Leader.
Soon we who are known as Gold
timers will call on Charon to carry
us over the Styx. These men we're
reared on the farm and have never
suffered for food nor raiment. Our
county might be in better condition
today if we had more citizens like

Attorney General Buford is probably correct in
venturing the opinion that no successful effort
can be made to forestall the expenditure of the
states good money which is the taxpayers good
money the extension of the old capitol at
Tallahassee. An injunction might halt proceed
ings for brief interval but it is quite unlikely
that the supreme court would fail to uphold the
legislatures order for This work, and truth to
tell why should it
There is widespread agitation for removal of
the capitol to more convenient and central
location, and there is more. than hint that the
extension was little better than political trick
to block the movement for removal Be that as
it may, advocates for the removal of the capitol
to a more desirable spot failed to move the legis-
lature last spring or to block the peoples repre-
sentatyes in their little scheme to spend the
public money to keep the capitol in remote cor
ner OF the state. The milk is spilled now and
tears or protests are equally futile.
What was not accomplished last spring through
pressure on the legislators will hardly be real
lied now by means Of an injunction And after
all, who is to blame? Legislators, who being
politicians primarily acted politicians or a
public which did not want what it wanted bad
enough to raise hob until it got it while the
getting was good. South and central Florida
sat meekly by, grumbing little, it is true but
without for one day using it's inalienable privi-
lege OF saying to its representatives "The capitol
will be moved and not one cent spent on the old
one or you will be sorry next election day"
Until the electorate takes it upon itself to
teach its representatives that they are sent to
legislatures and congress to represent and not
10 lurther their own pet schemes, the public
VIII continue to be thwarted in the case of the
removal of the capitol

PROBING THE ARMY

FOR some reason, to be guessed at rather than
explained, the news dispatches are reticent with
regard to the Investigation of the Watson charges
against army officials. Whether it is going on, or
has been stopped, or is just considered an unde
srable subject of publicity. we do not know.
The latest we had on the subject was an OUT
break by Watson, who created scene by threat
ening to slap an army officer who was frownine
at him in the course of the proceedings.
This is interesting, but how about the real facts
upon which Wason's charges were based9 Are
they true or false9 And. in determining that oues-
ton the court rule of sticking to the letter of the
pleadings should not be too strictly adhered TO.
The American people have right to know to what
extent injustice and inhumanty were practiced
against the boys who were drafted into the service
OF the nation to make the world safe for de-
mocracy."
1t is important that they should know it. If the
glamor which covers military service is mask
hiding reyersions to barbarty, it should be re-
moved. The issue is far bigger than the personnel

LONGING FOR PEACE

I'd gladly see the scrappng OF every gun and
pike, I'd see no war flags Mapping, no legions on
the hike; glad lays l would be grooming if swords
made hooks for pruning, or instruments for tun-
ing pianos and the like | see the big ships ~
ing in San Diego Bay, their flags and pennants
flying in bright and brave array; they seem in
handsome fettle, but OH what woes we'd settle
if all their tons of metal were used for moving
hay! Yon cruiser cost a million, that batteshp
cost four; and |, mild civilian am taxed until
I'm sore; my burden greater wakes: Pm tired of
paying taxes to buy more battleaxes and imple-
ments of gore. The man who works for wages
soon finds his name is Mud; the tax collector
RACES for money, in flood; and nearly every
shilling is spent for bygone killing or plans for
future spilling of useful human blood The war
ships take our cousins. our uncles and our sons
take them away by dozens, to shoot off silly
guns; and all these boys we're needing, for reap
ing and for seeding, and not for futile bleeding
where some punk ocean runs. Scrap AL the ships
and cruisers that loaf along the wave; no ma
lions will be losers when they have found their
grave; it is an idle notion to think that ships in
motion upon the brindled ocean will make the
world behave.

CANADA FOR RECIPROCITY
Gainesville Sum-

The wheel turns, in Canada as elsewhere Ten
years ago the liberal party went down to defeat
in memorable campaign of which the chief is
sue was trade reciprocity with the United States
The initiative had come from President Taft who
staked his political fortunes on that plan for
closer trade relations between the two countries
The plan was generally favored in the states
though western agricultural interests were du-
bious or hostile. The British took alarm and
made an imperial issue of it. Rudyard Kpling
cabled NeXcitedly to Canada on election day, 1T is
your own soul that you put in jeopardy this day."
The antagonistic propaganda won, and Canadian
refusal settled the matter
Now in the election held Just the other day
the liberal party comes back to power, largely
on this same issue of reciprocity. The Canadian
people evidently for it now, by a big major,
ity Time has softened their feelings toward the
United States and made them see more claarly{
the advantages of business cooperation between
the two countries which, though divided politicals
ly by man, have been made one economically> byy
nature. ~
There will probably be new proposals for reef
procity now, coming from Canada, since our
neighbors have come to see that two such conn
tries grow rich from exchanging goods with each
other. Our industrial and financial interests sup
port the proposal, and the agricultural bloc"
may be expected to line up against it.

of anybody concerned in it. Whether we shall
have war or peace in the future will depend upon
the sentiment of the people If they want war
they will have it But in making up their minds
to plunge into the next world horror they should
have before them complete knowledge of what it
means, SO they can weigh the certain losses,
sufcrngs, wrongs brutalities and njustces against
the always uncertain benefit" of victory and the
direfu possibilities of defeat.
Frankly, we believe if the public had true
picture Of war as it is, there would be no more
wars. Therefore, let the cover be lifted.
