O Old Frederick the Great licked all Europe when they had him cornered and his forces were reduced to a handful. The present kaiser, who never loses an opportunity to refer to that same Frederick as “my an- cestor,” may have an opportunity to repeat that celebrated performance before a great while the way things are looking now, but we doubt if he will do it. The personal equation counted for much more in the old days than now, and beaten soldiers no longer rally to victory around a dominating and magnetic personal- ity. War is still horrible and hell, but no longer productive of Frede- ricks and Napoleons. Our good friend Editor Russell of the Palatka News lays the Telegram as well as the Dade City Banner under obligations we are glad to acknowledge by the following taken from the last issue of his excellent paper: “The Dade City Banner comes to us this week with the name of W. M. Hetherington as editor and pro- prietor inserted at the top of the editorial column. And the paper; shows marked improvement from the start. The editorial greeting is modest and to the point. It makes no great promise, but asks that its record be watched. Mr. Hethering- ton comes naturally by his profes- sion. He is a son of the editor of the Lakeland Telegram by many re- garded as the foremost man of the Florida press. Hetherington, the younger, has thercfore had the prop- er training, and having inherited a goodly supply of brains, will pro- ceed to give Dade City a paper to be proud of. The Palatkn News extends the warm right hand of fellowship with earnest wishes for the prosperity of the new editor and his field of labor.” OO Brdudodedy Sdrgrdngy 2 22 P O EACR O Sfeed BNE 08 Sl BB CHES s GRS g D PP D Ly SRR L PO » ¥ fal2edied Grefrdreinir rgrdnirds E2at2nlinliln iy ng EX The thrilling news reaches up! that the Democrats swept Arkansas | yesterday and it is confidently be- lieved that they will take Texas next.

They should learn wisdom from the agricultural col- lege professor up at Gainesville who recently said to Rube Allyn: “The Almighty knew what he was doing when he made Florida land what it is. It is just exactly what is needed to grow tihings that If the lands of the mnorth were moved into this genial clime, growth would be so immense anad insect life so numerous it would be nfit for human habitation. Each piece of earth has its own good | things provided.” 7 SN Mr. Lambright, of the Tampa Tri- bune, just returned from a two weeks' stay in New York city, where he heard many pcople talk on many subjects, including the Eu- ropean war and its effect on the tourist world, adds his omL)lon to that of most other intelligent trav- elers who keep their ears open for useful information relating to the home market and says that the out- look for Florida tourists this win- ter is perfectly all right. He puts it this way: “Unanimous was the opinion ex- pressed to the writer on one sub- ject—that the shutting off of trans- Atlantic touring would mean a doubling or trebling of the annual exodus southward. Experis of the transportation service agree that the tourist section of the South— which means Florida—will see the coming winter its greatest crowds.” i Vi e it o AN OLD SHRIEK IN A NEW FORM The European war is bringing ou. some new forms of periodical litera- ture in this country, bearing on European questions, and intended to form or change American public oplnmn concerning those questions. {The Germans have recently estab- lished a paper in New York to ar- 'rest, if possible, the rising tide of American sentiment against the “kaiser, so generally held responsi- ble for destroying the peace of Eu- rope; and now the Poles long under 'the dominion of Russia, have estab- lished a paper in New York city 'called Free Poland, and have sent 'the Telegram a copy of the first is- sue. We have been hearing of the woes and wrongs of poor Poland ever since childhood and the shriek of freedom when Kosiosko fell is stil echoing in our ears as a prime piece of Friday aftermoon oratory in the village school house.® We greet Free Poland as an old friend S QHERQUERCER SACHEHE S SO OHOHECH S QU HOREHORE QL SHOL IO BNOREH0 S SO EER AR Qe R R T LT B BB R B T s w T O O 0 o OB SRR MR RSN SO EHOH SRS O RO S Qe THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK ELAND, FLA., SEPT. 15, 1914. in a new guise and we wish the pro-] paganda all sorts of good luck, but | our hopes are weak. If Russia wins out in the present war, the soflI promises of the czar to his dear | Poles will never take the form of freedom for their country, for that would be to create a new nation of doubtful friendship between Ger-' many and Russia; and if the latter loses, ‘Free Poland is further away than ever. The loyalty of Poland to Russia now will probably result in kinder treatment to the nation conquered so long ago, but it will not result in separate nationality nor even in home rule in the Irish sense of the word. Rugsian czars are not built that way. He who can may take, and he who has may keep, is their theory of government. s Ve iy THE PLAIN PEOPLE LARGELY OWN OUR RAILROADS Much of the criticism and de- nunciation of railroads in this coun- try is sedulously fostered by poli- ticians of a certain kind who plc-. ture the roads as concrete expres-' sions of the money power seeking! always to oppress the peovle. These politicians themselves are artfully seeking td rise to place and power by encouraging this prejudice against one of the largest factors in our national wealth and strength, and they have so far succceded that in the minds of many of the unmin- formed and unthinking, railroads are regarded as easy marks and le- gitimate prey in all ways from damage suits to train robbery. But as a matter of fact, our rail- roads, so far from being the con- centrated wealth of the money pow- er, are owned by probably more peo- ple than any other single form of property. The stock is widely dis- tributed among literally hundreds of thousands ofmen and women, a large proportion of them of the mid- dle class who have invested their savings in this form in the hope of a fair profit upon the investment. We think of our Atlantic Coast Line, for instance, as the property of a small group of very wealthy people who have so much money that they are not entitled to any sympathy from those of us who are less fortunate; and yet this big system, serving the people of Flor- ida every day in the year, is owned by more than three thousand peo- ple and more than half of them are women. Here are the figures: Of a total of 3,119 stockholders registered on the books of the At- lantic Coast Line as of Jvne 30, 1914, only 10 were European, hold- ings totaling $115,000 of a total outstanding stock of $68,558,000. Number of women stockholders on June 30, 1914, were 1,264, as against 1,118 June 30, 1913. To- tal number of stockholders June 30, 1913, 2,649. il ot (Y DRUGGISTS WON'T GUARANTEE CALOMEL But they do guarantee Dodson’s Liver Tone with money-back offer.
