WHY NOT BE FAIR?

One thing we have never been able
to understand is how people expect
to arrive at logical conclusions when
they look at things from illogical and
prejudiced angles. Democratic pa
Rpers are condemning the Harding adj
ministration because it is going to be
unable to reduce taxes They do not
mention the fact that the enormous
government debts are hang-Overs of
the Wilson Enthusiastically
Park Chief
Urging fairness it would have been
exceedingly nice for the Chief to have
set the example and in the little item
it here cites it had an excellent oppor-
tunity to have done So
1t could have modified it's state
ment by explaining that the last two
years of the Wilson administration
one of the three branches of gov
eminent, viz: the judicial depart
merit, was the same then that it is
now; that one of the two remaining
branches. viz: the legislative branch,
was bitterly hostile to the remaining
branch. viz: the executive branch;
so it left that branch handicapped
and helpless, and the duty of the
executive department is to execute
and not to make the laws
And if it had desired to be still more
fair it could have said that the debts
created prior to the republicans as
Stunning control of the legislative de-
partment were created in the stress
and storm of war and accomplished
the great undertaking for which they
were created, viz: the successful ter

will pronounce it the most wonderful
accomplishment in the history of this
nation which all along its history has
been luminous in great deeds.

is no doubt that unjustifable brutal

the authorities in charge of the jails
should always be able to enforce dis

out the aid of the prisoners. But it
appears that in the county jail is not
the only place where these reprehen-
sible practices are tolerated-several

which, as Mr. Bryan says, have been
written into law, and may be regard
ed as unrepealable." were not Bryan
policies. but were only picked up by
him when they appeared to be popu-
lar
We thought better of the Post. We
looked upon it as a bigger paper.
All of the policies mentioned were
advocated from start to finish by Mr..
Bryan.
Prohibition was advocated by. him
when it was pronouncedly unpopular,
and it may be said to be still unpop-
ular in many sections. Vide some of
the recent elections in New York
state
Mr.. Bryan advocated woman stuff
rage when it was derided as joke
Mr.. Bryan was also father of the
movement to bring about world peace
by the formation of league or asso-
citation of nations, and to that end,
while secretary of state, succeeded
in securing the signatures of the dip
lomats of thirty nations.
Mr.. Bryan secured these signatures
on his own initiative, without any
blow of trumpet or beat of drum.
Mr.. Bryan stands before all nations
as a world leader, and will be so re-
garded by historians.
His name will live long after Mr.
Harding's will have been forgotten.

SENATOR BoRAH AND THE AD-
JusTED COMPENSATION BILL

It is very proper thing for the
Idaho senator to do, if he is opposed
to the policy of paying pensions to our
soldiers as a reward of merit to their
country in time of peril, to vote
against the adjusted compensation
biIl' now before congress. but it is
inexcusable for him to make the
charge which he does against his fell
low-members who favor this policy
of government.
Senator Borah makes this despic-
able charge:
81 haven't much respect for the man
who buys office, even though he pays
for it with his own money. But the
most Shiny creature which disgraces
American politics is the man who buys
office by paying for it with appropria-
Ions out of the public treasury and
charges his yenal political obligations
to the taxpayers"
All of which is political bunk of the
veriest kind.
1t is the policy of all enlightened
and civilized governments of the earth
to pay pensions to their soldiers
some in one shape and some in an
other
The payment Of pensions to soldiers
has been the policy of the United
States government since it's very
foundation.
So to call those who have voted
for these measures as the ''slimest
creatures that crawl the earth. is lit
tie less than abominable.
Pensions and land warrants were
paid to our revolutionary soldiers.
Pensions and land warrants were
paid to the soldiers of the war of
1924
Pensions and land warrants were
paid to the soldiers of the Mexican
war.
And the widows and orphans of
these wars were literally provided
for.
Pensions were paid to those who
participated in all of our Indian wars
although their services may have
been only for short period of time.
Liberal pensions were paid to those
who took part in the war between
the states and the aggregate amount
grew from little more than eight
millions in 1865 to more than thirty
annually in less than ten
years thereafter and later on grew
to immense proportions.
Florida pays her surviving Confed-
crate soldiers and the widows of those
who have crossed the great divide
$25 per month
The compensation bill now before
congress for adjustment is not out
of alignment with the policy our gov
has pursued all along it's
history so it is late in the day for
the Idaho senator to make the grave
charge he does against his fellow
and it cannot be catalogued
in letters too foul and forbidding.
Shame on you, Senator Borah.

THE VALUE OF A SETTLER

Of the many sound and thought
provoking statements made by Willis
B. Powell, secretary of the Lake
County Chamber of Commerce. in his
address at the annual banquet of tho
Bradentown board of trade, one g.
pecially should be preserved in the
memory of every public spirited per
son.
Mr.. Powell stated that every new
settler bringing his family to a com.
munity, whether he buy property or
rent his home, is worth $1,000 to the
community. This statement was back
ed up by figures from the census re-
ports, showing the expenditures Of
the average family and the increase
in valuation of property that comes
with increased population-Lakeland

OUR DEGENERATE SENATE

We print elsewhere an article from
the Tampa Times under the above
caption which it copies from the Sat
urday Evening Post with its apparent
approval.
The Saturday Evening Post must
certainly entertain poor apprecia-
ton of the present personnel of that
body when it advocates the election
of Mr.. Albert J. Beverage as an up
lifting force.
Perhaps we have no such leader
ship in the present senate as in the
days of Clay, Webster and Calhoun,
or in the later days of Hill, Lamar,
Blaine and Conkling. but as an aver
age body it is no doubt as strong to-
day as it was in the history OF those
times.
1t is composed of some notably
strong men especially form the south.
John Sharp Williams, for example,
would measure lances with any NUM-
Der of the strong men of the past
who gave the senate the name of the
greatest legislative assembly in the
world"
Their. too, there are few stronger
men in its history than Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas.
Then, again, Oscar Underwood was
regarded as big enough timber to be
pitted against Woodrow Wilson for
the presidential nomination at the
Baltimore convention In 1912 by a
number of influential states.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska, Sen
ator Pittman of Nevada, Senator
Pomerene of Ohio. Senator Carter
Glass of Virginia, are all strong and
able men, and Senator Pat Harrison
and Senator Tom Heflin. il they do

PASSING DEBTS ON TO POSTER
FTY

A great number of very good peo-
pie are opposed to the bonus and
similar bills because they hesitate
to create debt for posterity to as
sumo.
To compensate for the payment of
such debts what do we bequeath to
posterity?
We bequeath a proud and magnifi-
cent array of costly and ornamental
public buildings. cathedrals and
churches; public Libraries, parks and
Fairgrounds.
We bequeath improved harbors and
rivers and easy means of commune
cation on land, sea and air.
We bequeath to those who are to
assume these debts labor saving, in
ventions and machinery of an hundred
different kinds to lift from their
shoulders heavy burden their an
cestors struggled under for centuries.
We bequeath a splendid civiliza-
ton which was purchased at the sacri-
fee of toll and hardship, treasure,
blood and tears, so why should it be
crime to saddle upon posterity a
debt of a few billion dollars?
Compared to the things we bequeath
these debts have the appearance of a
mole hill beside mountain.
We ought to bequeath them some
thing on which to exercise their brain
and Drawn to compensate for the
Injuries they fall heir to.
