PEACE AGENCY

The American navy must be regarded
as an agency for the promotion oil
peac" at large us well as for our own
protection. No other country is as
well fitted j'st now as our own for
helping to maintain the world S order.
We ought to have learned something
from the expensive mistake of the
past. If VIC bad possessed two or
three III Jrc blttlcShips ten years ago
Admiral Cervera would not have
risked SPANS navy in American
waters, European naval experts had
informed the Spanish Government that
we ranked below rather than above
Spain in actual nava! strength If our
navy had been at the proner stage of
development we should have been
able to persuade Spain to withdrew
from Cuba and we shoule have avoid
ed the possibilities that fell to us
with the acquisition of the Philippi-
MES. We have assumed q position in
the world that ii is our plain duty to
antain. 1t takes several years to
build battleshipS, and the president,
better than auy Que else, is in posi-
tion to judge of the ndmber of vessles
that should be ordered this year. His
special message of April IA was. as
powful and convincing a statement as
any President has ever made to con
gress. There was nothing in it of a
sort to irritate the House or to offend
Congressional sensibilities. 1t stated
the reason why we must main tain our
naval position, and why, in order not
to lost our relative rank, we ought
now to provide for four battleships.
The answer of the House of Represen
atives was to pass naval bill provid-
ing for two battleshipS. 1t is not vet

newed expressions of friendship ON
the part of Presdent-elect Taft, in his
speech at the recent dinner of the
North Carolina Society in New York
Mr.. Taft goes further than mere
kindly generality and evinces a deter
mination to place his administration,
insofar as Is practicable, in thorough
accord with the feelings and views OF
the people of the South in respect to
the questions which closely concern
them.
His views upon the race question
are characterized by a fairness and
conservatism which are indicative OF
q purpose neither to oppose nor tram
pie upon Southern ideas. He gives
evidence of a determination to assist
in removing whatever may remain of
the fear of so-called negro domino
ton, which has been the basis of
justification of a politically solid
South.
MIR. Taft of course, would be glad
to see shattered the political solidity
of the South in the interests of the
party of which he is the leader and
OF whose principles he is the expo
nent-

The following prepared by the Jas
per News will prove of interest to
Journal readers:
In 1921 by order of Cen Jackson,
Florida was divided into two counties.
West of the Suwannee river was Es-
Gambia county and all east of the Su
wannee was st. Johns county.
In the first council, held under Gov
W. p. Duval in 1922, two more coun
ties were added. jackson county was
created with Suwannee river as its
eastern boundary. and the Choctaw
hatchee river for its western boundary
Duyal county was created, with the
Suwannee river for it's western boun
dairy, and a line drawn from the mouth
of the Suwannee to Cow Ford ON the
St. Johns river, thence down said
river to the ocean, formed its southern
boundary. Cow Ford is the jackson
vile Of today.
The councils of 1924 made more
counties. Gadsden was created with g
territory reaching from the Apalachi
cola river on the west to the Suwan
nee river on the east. This was sub
divided TO form Leon county. Wash
formed from Jackson and Escaufbia.
Monroe county was created to include
all territory south of Charlotte harbor
Mosquito county included al territory
south of the head of the south branch
of the Matanzas river. Alachua and
Nassau counties were created from
the territory of Duyal.

tiousness is unquestioned, and in his
efforts to help make the South, as he
says, a wOrkig part of the political
nation, he will have the loyal support
of it's people, of whatever party or
alignment.
The pursuit of the purpose express
ed in the conclusion of his address
can but command general approval
and cooperation. Mr.. Taft said:
''The recent election has made i,
probable that / shall become more OF
less responsible for the policy of the
next presidential administration, and
improve this opportunity to say that
nothing would give me greater pride,
because nothing could give me more
claim to the gratitude of my fellow
citizens, if / could SO direct that pol
icy in respect to the Southern states

of the desire of the administration
to aid them in working out satisfac-
torily the serious problems before
them, and of bringing them and their

that the theories of the socialists
cannot be put into practice with any
hope for a resultant stable govern

truism where each mans labor will
