That fight mast be fought to a finish. i e, The Times-Union has the follow- ing to say of a newspaper change in Dade City which is said so kindly that we warmly appreciate jt: The Dade City Banner has been sold to W. M. Hetherington, son of the popular editor of the l,z\kelamll Evening Telegram. The Banner will make its bow under new man- agement this week, and if young Hetherington follows in the foot- steps of his father and mother, both of whom are brilliant newspaper people, the Banner will be a shining light in pFlorida journalism. Success to the new manager. Hat s That jailer up in Bourbon coun- ty, Ky., Joseph A. Faris by name, who had the courage to shoot to death the leader of a mob attempt- ing to take a prisoner from him in order to lynch him, is the very best specimen of a hero we have heard of for a long time. It takes nerve to stand up that way and shoot in the cause of law and order, with all the crowd against you, and Faris ought to be medaled and decorated by his fellow citizens of the law and order kind. PP The Germans have tired of lis- tening to the stories of their cruel- ties perpetrated upon wounded and captive soldiers and helpless women and children and they have started in to tell some of their owr on the soldiers of the other side. Probably many of these stories on both sides are lies, but a whole lot of them are true, for they come too well authen- ticated to doubt. War kills pretty nearly everything that is good in many men and develops pretty near- | ly everything that is cvil, and to such men the invasion of an enemy’s territory simply means l!oot and brutish cruelty to every inoffensh'e' bhuman being in their path. Civili- zation falls away from them like u garment and they stand out a® sav- ages pursuing savage methods. There ag plenty of such men in ev- ery army, and while decent enough under restraint and discipline, When that is removed and they get in an enemy’s country where thelr native cruelty and Just can have full swing, they show themselves for the brutes they are. The very fact of war makes them inevitable, for there could be no war withouu the spirit of which they are the foul embodiment. There are plenty of them in the European armies and their atrocities will go on unchecked to the end. They are one of the big reasons why war is hell. i —0 The communication in vesterday's Telegram from Hon. John S. Ed- wards, member of the State tax commission, was such a document as every taxpayers in the State should read. It abundantly justifies the existence of the commission as a means to a good end and shows that it has done excellent work to pro- mote the cause of a just and effi- cient system of taxation in Florida. The actual facts of what has' been accomplished by the commission, as stated by Mr. Edwards, cannot be fairly derided nor underrated by those who can see no gocd in the work of that body; and the out- rageous inequalities in assescments in the various counties of the State are brought out so clearly and the injustice made so obvious that the need for a remedy is almost start- lingly apparent. To the extent of its powers the commission seems to be providing this remedy, and when we consider the magnitude and dif- ficulty of the work and that it is al strange, new field heretofore un- explored, it ought to be admitted hy fair-minded people that the com- wmission is well worth its cost to the taxpayers and that it has plished real good thus far. accom- ‘the past month on the causecs of the | European war to fill many volumes. lThis from the Saturday Evening Post is as good as any we have seen —perhaps the best: “There was a situation in Europe which could issue only ir war or disarmament, and efforts in the lat- ter direction were unavailing. Mili- tary competition among the great powers had been steadily increasing for ten vears until the tension had Wecome almost unbearable. Then came a supreme effort. Germany raised her extraordinary war con- tribution of a quarter of a billion dollars by drastic special ‘axes ou top of the heavy ordinary taxation. France lengthened the term of ac- tive military service from two to three ye Russia adented a scheme of hugely augmented mili- |tary expenditure. England lifted |her naval appropriations to an un- precedented figure. “A man can't stand on tirtoe in- | definitely. Military competition conld scarcely be pushed further. |Thorn must be a let-down or a fight. “The proximate cause—Austria’s irritation against Servia—was tri- vial enough. But the real cause was national jealousy. suspicion and ha- tred—carefully nursed and exploit- ed everywhere by the military class and the noisy few who find a profit in war. The grand stock in trade of these fomenters of war is that barbarous patriotism which is mere- 1y a modern extension of the tribal sentiment that made the Indian who lived on the south side of the creek consider it a pious duty to kill one {living on the north side vhenever he got a chance. Whatever the cost of this war, there will be another some day if Frenchmen are still taught to hate Germans, Germans to 'hate Russians, and so on.” sy One of the phases of the European war which touches our sense of the )rldiculmls is the solemn yawp from each country engaged in the mur- derous conflict that God is on its side. They say that in all wars, even the Turks insisting that Allah 1is always on their side, but as the |results have been invariably dis- 'appointing to one side or the other !il is evident that somebody is al- ways badly mistaken in - claiming the Almighty as an ally. The only way to be certain about it 1is to "wait until the war ends, for it inconceivable that an Omuipotent God should be on the side that lost.

At the form- er, the question of securing the location of one of the big base- ball league teams ivas discussed and the matter turned over to a committee tto go into the feasi- bility of the proposition. Sev- eral communications advertising propositions and ac- tion deferred until later. At the meeting of the whole Board a petition was read from Lineberger Bros. and others, who presented a statement of what they had done and the fine prospects for the coming season! in canning vegetables, fruits, ete., asking assistance in secur- ing a road to their factory. Pe- tition referred to Commmittee on Manicipal affairs. Communication read from parties in North Carolina desir- ing to establish a mattrass fac- tory, asking Board to guarantee subscription of $1,000, parties to add $4,000 to this amount, for the purpose of erecting suitable building and machinery. Sec- retary instructed to write parties to come down, purchase lot and crect building and Board would guarantee the $1,000. Question of suitable additional hitching places for farmers teams was discussed and matter referred to a special committee. Condition streets connecting with county roads discussed and suggestions made that possibly the work could be done and paid for by time warrants in view of finan- cial condition of city. City Manager stated that this mat- ter was being looked into by City Attorney. The Secretary had a personal interview a couple of weeks ago with the Manager of the South- ern Utilities Company, at Jack- sonville, who stated that his was interested and would look into the matter of installing a pre-cooling station here at once and make report 'as soon as possible. A communication has been re- ceived from the Coast Line Superintendent stating that mat- ter iof 'flooding of crossings at passenger station has been taken up and relief will probably soon |BETTER TO TAKE THAN DANGEROUS CALOMEL i Dodson's Liver Tone is a whole- some, reliable medicine that s I,fluaramovd to take the place of calomel.

A few of our people seem to have a bad case of “scareitis’ and act as though everything was going to the “bow-wows” It is true that one industry has been very badly affected but so many other avenues are opening ‘that, as our best posted men tell us, we shall all come out at the head of the game. In the meantime, while we cannot .(g- mnore the horrors connected with the awful struggle, let us turn our attention to the develop- ment of other and latent re- sources, of which our section has an ample supply.

HOLWORTHY, sec. last The Waitresses’ Union of Chicago ‘'has gone on record as being un- [qualifiedly against the ‘“tipping” system.
