are good for a large number of
visitors and settlers during the
coming season. The Jackson
sonville Office of the Board in
forms us that we may look for
a big business this coming sea-
son, both from winter tourists
and investors, and this state
ment is borne out by the Board
of Trade in the towns of Bar
tow, Orlando and St. Peters
burg, the Secretaries OF whom
your Secretary has had the
pleasure OF meeting during the
past month.
The Secretary regrets to re-
port large arrearage on the
part OF a few of the members
but hopes that this may be ma
terially reduced during the pres
ent month, because the Board
needs the money to keep up the
campaign at this time when we
need all the publicity we can get,
and we cannot get publicity
without spending money, and
we have only one source of in
come, which depends upon the
loyalty and cooperation of the
members.
\ few of Our people seem to
have a bad case of "scareitis'
and act as though everything
was going to the "bow-wows"
1t is true that one industry has
been very badly affected but SO
many other avenues are opening
that, as our best posted men
tell us, we shall all come out at
the head of the game. In the
meantime, while we cannot g.
more the horrors connected with
the awful struggle, let us turn
our attention to the develop
ment of other and latent re.
sources, of which our sectibr
has an ample supply. This i:
not the time to lie down OF
tighten up. but a time for great
err effort and an intelligent open
ing up.

That jailer up in Bourbon coun-
ty, Ky, Joseph A. Faris by name,
who had the courage to shoot to
death the leader of a mob attempt
ing to take prisoner from him in
order to lynch him, is the very best
specimen of a hero we have heard
Of for long time. 1t takes nerve
to stand up that way and shoot in
the cause of law and order, with
all the crowd against you, and Faris
ought to be medaled and decorated
by his fellow citizens of the law
and order kind.

The Mattresses Union of Chicago
has gone on record as being un-
qualifiedly against the tipping"
system. The leaders of the union
have declared that when a girl de-
ponds upon her tips for her living,
it is pretty hard to draw the line of
propriety, and the waitress cannot
afford sometimes to resent familiar
ity with her patrons.

One of the phases of the European
war which touches our sense of the
ridiculous is the solemn yawp from
each country engaged in the muir
derous conflict that God is on its
side. They say that in all wars,
even the Turks insisting that Allah
is always on their side, but as the
results have been invariabl, dis
appointing to one side or the other
it is evident that somebody Is al
ways badly mistaken in claiming
the Almighty as an ally. The only
way to be certain about It is to
wait until the war ends, for it is
inconceivable that an OmnipOtent
God should be on the side that lost
