"ON TO WASHINGTON OR BANKRUPTCY."
The Fltsgerald Enterprise In its Issue of Saturday sounds the warning
"Os to Washington, or Bankruptcy." The Enterprise does not think that
tbe cotton states bare the machinery and the money to pull business through
the present crisis. It says that letters and petitions that bare been sent
(• Washington by mall hare availed nothing, so now It farors aendlng a
petition in the way of "100,000 farmers In boots." The editor of the Enter
prise Wifms' up and saya:
"The present session of congres will adjourn without rem
edial legislation for the South but will reconvene In De
cember. It is bankruptcy for the Southern farmer and
merchant if we get no help from Congress. Let us send a
petition In boots to Washington, one so large In numbers
and composed of the farmers of the South, who sre battling
for the opportunity to pay their honest debts with the earn-
t Inga from their farms. A hundred thousand farmers march
Ing up Pennsylvania Avenue would cause the administra
tion to realise tbe seriousness of our condition end do for
the f srreers ONCE what they are alwnys doing far the
banks—furnish currency to protect their Interests."
There Is no getting around the fact that the present financial situation
la the cotton states is alarming, but we do not believe that conditions are
as bad as the editor of the Enterprise and thousands of people think they
are. As a number of newspapers have suggested about fifty per cent of the
cauae of the financial depression Is due to thought and not to facts. On
aeeeont of there being no sate for cotton, money is very tight In the cotton
sections, but while money is scarce here It Is plentiful In other sections
of the United 8tatM, and whore money is easy interest is low, so why Is .
not reasonable to suppose that money from the North and West will soon
Hag Its way info the cotton states seeking higher rates of Interest?
There Is do use for us to get so greatly excited over matters. The way
to overcome conditions Is to have an abundance of confidence In ourselves,
aad convince people with money that notwithstanding the temporary loss
of dvr cotton market, we atill have the resources to be prosperous and ttm
we are going to come ont on top.
There is one thing certain that unless we keep cool heads, and determ
ined minds, tbe outside world will not have enough faith In our ability to
advance flnanclal aid.

WAR TAX ON MEDICINE.
The newspapers ef the country are being urged by the manufacturers
of medical preparations to start a publicity campaign against the govern
ment placing a war tax upon medical preparations. The newspapers have
been slow In taking up this matter for the reason that it is apt to be charg
ed (hat the papers are opposing the tax because thev receive a revenu
from the medicine men for advertising. While it is true that this can be
charged, still it would be very unjust to the papers to say that the few dol
lars they receive from medicine advertising would influence .them In the
matter.
The man who favors a tax on proprietary medicines will say that the
consumer wlM not have to pay the tax, but this Is the old Idea that Is abso
lutely false, because the CONSUMER atwsys pays the tax. It might also
be argued that proprietary medicines should not be sold, and that to tax
IheA still tend to decrease the consumption of them, but this Is a wrong
idea. We will admit that many proprietary medicines should not be
tuined at all, but the way to remedy this is nut by taxation but by prohib
iting their sale. Many medicines on the market have rreat merit and
offer relief to the poor people, a* well as to many rich. We do not believe
that the Senate should Includo In its war tax bill proprietary medicines,
aad we do not believe that it will bo done after a careful investigation has
bees made.
PRESIDENT RENTON'S APPEAL
Yesterday's Journal-Herald carried an appeal from Mr. II. J. Renton,
President of the Board of Trade calling upon the people of Wavcross »o
ralljt to the support of the Institution of which he Is the hend. President
Beaton direct* tho attention of the cHlxens of Waycross to the fact that the
Board li DOW being run upon the most economical plans, and while it is
greatly handicapped it ia doing a much needed work, which If carried to
aa Ik* wilt result in more good probably than any work tne Board has
over done.
Aa Mr. Benton state* in his call there will be a meeting at the Board
rooms to&lght for the purpose of making a kind of reorganisation, and It
Is moat Important that every business, and professional man in the city
attend thla meeting. The meeting will no, be any long drawn out affair
but will be brief and to the point. No one need be afraid to attend upon
the ground that money will be asked for as this is not the purpose of the
matting. Tho Board of Trade NEEDS YOUR ENTHUSIASM MORE THAN
IT NEEDS YOUR MONEY, and It Is for this that the President and the
Secretary are working for.

WOMEN AND PEACE.
It Is all rivht for women's organisations In the United States to offer
resolutions aqainst war, but it is not clear what benefit will result. Peace
hSa bean preached from time out of mthd; women aa a class arc always
opposed to war. and submit to it only because they must. It may safely be
assumed that European women of all races and nationalities are at heart
In fnvor of peace, however fiery they may be in denunciation of their coun
try's enemies or however deep their patriotism.
Bnt what does this opposition to war matter when a crisis comes?
Their voices are drowned by marital music and the tramp cf soldiers' feet:
their protects go unheard and unheeded by those who rule. It would be
the same In this country under certain condlNBfi*.
fit Htne faftt ebme when women a* active participants It government
may have ad Influence In preventing war. but they will always have the
fighting spirit ef men to deal with. Apparently the women who are now
"resolving" to earnestly that war Is wioked and must not be allowed, forget
that men are primarily fighting creatures and that the disposition to win
their way by force if no other means is sufficient Is Inherent in their
natures.—Indianapolis star.
