E A Plea for Lacey (GreenShnrn Watchmanl

We quite agree with the La Fayette Sun. that Theo Lacey should be pardoned. He didn't get the s10O,000 that was stolen from the state. He has been in prison about ten years, and is serving, at present. an unjust sentence. The .undisputed facts in this last case are these: Lacey was instructed by his superior to collect about s2,000 and deposit it in bank. This he did. This $2,000 is among the missing moneys. But Lacey did not get that money, and yet he Is in prison now on that charge. The fact is, Lacey was made the goat in. the big steal that shocked Ala bama from center to circumfer- ence some ten or twelve years ago. He has more than paid for his part in the disgraceful trans- action and should be pardoned.

Ambassador Harvey on many occasions disgusted Americans by his apparent subservienee to the Briton and everything that is British. Throughout his career 1t has appeared that he tried to sub ject all things American to state of inferiority to all things British.
 It was believed on this side of the Atlantic that Harvey, while irritating Americans, did not par ticularly ihgratiate himself with the average citizen of England. Flattery is easily detected and when detected makes no lasting friends.
 George has not blundered as Harvey blundered. He has con- fined his extravagant remarks to individuals who were really great and whose memory the Americans revere. Had Harvey waxed en- thusiastic only oyer Richard the Lion Hearted. or the Round Table of Arthur, or Shakespeare, he would have escaped much of the criticism his countrymen have ex- pressed. It may be depended upon that George will not go so far, and he will return, it is promised, to meet no very great censure. At the same time newspapers in London and Manchester have cyn- ically expressed a modicum of doubt that Washington, rather than statesmen of England, found ed the British empire.

David Lloyd George has come to the United States for many reasons, 1t is probable. He wanted to see this country and the peo- pie. He wanted to be received with wide-open arms. He wanted to know how his politics in Eng land had touched the American heart. Perhaps, as has been said, he wanted to lay the foundation for a come back" as soon as he native land.
 He has received 8 splendid well come He has been delighted. He knows that he Is approved by Americans as a whole. And, when he returns, he will be able to stand erect in knowledge that he is among the very few English men who could arouse this coun- try as 1t has been aroused.
 MT. George has played politics with Americans. It was politics, however,, in its best sense. He has endeavored to make our great men greater. His praise of Wash ington and Lincoln has tran scended the praise that Americans have given them throughout all the years.
 As to whether or not MT. George has been sincere to the letter of bis every word cannot be stated, of course. It is probable, how ever. that no other Englishman would agree with his statement. that George Washington founded the British empire. There are very few Americans. as matter of fact, who would agree. And there are very few Americans who would agree that Lincoln was greater than any other man who lived.

Jack Jones who is leaving this
week. 1t was a surprise party
in charge of committee COM
posed of Nema Barrett, Eliza
beth Moede and Oveda Ranes.
Music for dancing was furnish
ed by the Princess Orchestra
and several laughter-proyoking
games were played. Supper
was served some time after mid
night on o long table in the CEN
ter of the room. After repeat
ed calls for a speech Jack
obligingly got up and gave us
one ending with the famous
words-which proves that he
has wisdom beyond his years
"Let's eat" Unfortunately the
dignified effect of the speech
was lost by the fact that his
chair collapsed as he sat down.
1t has not been learned yet
whether this part of the enter
tainment was arranged or was
an accident. We all join in send
ing our best wishes with Jack
wherever he goes, and in hop

friends in his new home as he
