OF course there is a considerable

do not look at the editorial page, but
It Is nevertheless true that that page
Is perused carefully and critically by
the best informed people and they
are looking there to find the individu-
slity of the paper and that touch OF
the personality behind it which gives
II its most vital human interest and
Its largest influence.
Without this page the newspaper is
q mere gossip retailing the current
news, and not much above TIE phono-

It is the editorial page which gives
character and influence to the modern

OF course the statesmen, swelling
with the consciousness of their own

as no man liveth to himself. so no
self without saying that he gets his
most valuable pointers from the press
and that they are crystall1zed for him,
TO save him the trouble, on the edi-
torial page of the great American
newspaper.
The point to it all is that the news
paper has UNNECESSARILY more inf1u-

modern life, chiefly because of its
facilities for collecting the days his

The Ocala Banner reproduces what
The Journal recently said in criticism
of the Banners proposition to super
sede the eagle on our coinage with
the turkey and adds:
Well, why should our cry forever be
for war. Why should we always court
deadly conflict. Why should we not
place the symbol of peace on a pin
nacle and pay our genufiections to
it. Read Ben Franklin's Grafton on
the noble virtues of the great Aneri-
can bird. 1t is not bad reading. The
turkey is a very proud bird, and one
is worth a score of eagles or more.
Unhappily we are confronted by
conditions, not theories, in this world,
and while We would welcome with
tears of Joy the Utopian state of af-
fairs which the Banner has in mind,
we cannot overlook Hobson, Roose-
welt. Emperor William, Lord Roberts
and other warriors who tell us TO pre-
pare for Armageddon not far away.
With the turkey as the symbol of our
feel at liberty to kick US, but having
had some experience of the eagle they
perhaps know too much about us to
try the experiment. In the far, far
future. when all the swords have been
turned into plowshares and armies
and navies have been abolished the
noble but non-combative gobbler may
be the true symbol of peace on earth
and good time to everybody except
the gobbler himself on Thanksgiving
occasions, but as. things are now We
shall still vote for the eagle.
