The very human fault of fol- lowing the lead of the bell cow is found as frequently in the ranks of newspaper editors as in other lines, and this of itself constitutes a valid | Georsia Lanler . charge against many newspapers. It is altogether probable that some of the editors who have been so prompt to assajl the senator have not read what he said. He gave luminous ex - emples of unjust and unauthorized attacks on public men whose names are held by the country today in honor approaching reverence. His pronunciamento was in keeping with Virginia Mcllwain ... the character of the man himself— for deliberation, moderation justice. Surely those of our news- paper brethren who desire to main-. tain a high stapdard in their work cannot object to the lines that were thus laid down.” g ‘The editor of the Tarpon Springs|Emily Wilson .......... ang | Clara Tomlinson . twenty. five thousand extra votes. seventy five thousand extra votes.

We deny the claim that liberty has no place in latter day civilization, and we differ with the compulsory plan because it is not the best means of reaching the de- sired result.” An objection to “bringing non. offenders under a law in order to reach the offenders™ seems to us pe- culiar logic. Wie are all brought under the law against murder and other crimes, offenders and non of - fenders alike. There must be no class legislation on such subjects. If a law making education compulsory = a good thing the man who s will. ing to educate his children without compulsion has nothing to complain of any more than the man who doesn’t commit crime has a ‘kick coming” a-ainst the criminal stat. utes, but all the same those statutes are necessary to control and punish the other fellow; and just so it is with a compulsory education law. The Tele-ram is not committed to such a law in Florida at this time; we merely insist that the principle is sound. ey, The Miami Herald says that the act of the administration in order - ing some of our battleships to Vera Cruz to help Carranza realize that he must improve living conditions in Mexico City is “just another bluft.” Well, what of it, if the bluff works?
