1t is not new. There is no new need
to discuss it. We shall not alter our
attitude toward it because some
amongst us are nervous and excited.
We shall easily and sensibly agree
upon a policy of defense. The ques-
tion has not changed its aspects be-
cause the times are not normal. Our
policy will not be for an occasion. II
will be conceived as a permanent and
settled thing, which we will pursue
at all seasons, without haste and after
fashion perfectly consistent with
the peace of the world, the abiding
friendship of states, and the unham-
pered freedom of all with whom we
deal. Let there be no misconcep-
tion. The country has been misin-

resting upon us. We shall learn and

To peace in Europe the president
referred briefly. I'VE are the champ

"And we should be very jealous OF
this distinction which we have sought
to earn. Just now we should be par

our dearest present hope that this

an opportunity such as has seldom
been vouchasafed any nation, the op-
portunity to counsel and obtain peace
in the world and reconciliation and a
healing settlement of many a matter
that has cooled and interrupted the
friendship of nations. This Is the
time above all others when we should
wish and resolve to keep our strength
by self-possession, our influence by
preserving our ancient principles of

WARD

Mr.. H. Dove Allison writes us that
since going from this section TO Ma
rama he has succeeded in accumulat-
ing properties that he considers TO be
worth from seventy-five to one hun
dred thousand dollars. Besides hav-
ing bearing orange and grapefruit
groves he had very large nursery.
all of which were threatened to be
destroyed by the citrus canker. What
this canker is doing for him Il will
do for others. Mr.. Allison thinks
that the industry of the entire state
is threatened, as it is likely TO spread
very rapidly.
Mr.. Allison is given the credit OF
having first called the attention OF the
state and federal government TO the
danger from the ravages of this peril
to Florida's great industry.
Mr.. Allison offers TO give person
ally the sum of FIVE thousand dollars
for something that will destroy the
canker. The remedy. however, must
produce a positive cure.

IT IS A GREAT MESSAGE AND ENTIRELY LSON|AN

not ready upon brief notice to put a
nation in the field, a nation of men
trained to arms? Of course we are
not ready to do that: and we shall
never be in time of peace so long as
we retain our present political prin-
ciples and institutions. And what is
it that is it suggested we should be
prepared to do? To defend ourselves
against attack? We have always
found means to do that, and shall
find them whenever it is necessary
without calling our people away from
their necessary tasks to render COM
pulsory military service in times of
peace.
From the first we have had clear
and settled policy with regard to mil
itary establishments. We never have
had, and while we retain our present
principles and ideals we never shall
have, a large standing army If
asked, are you ready to defend your
selves? We reply, most assuredly,
to the utmost; and yet we shall not
turn America into a military camp.
We will not ask our young men to
spend the best years of their lives
making soldiers of themselves. There

upon a citizenry trained and ac-
customed to arms. 1t will be right
enough, right American policy, based
upon our accustomed principles and
practices, to provide a system by
which every citizen who will vol
unteer for the training may be made
familiar with the use of modern arms,
the rudiments of drill and maneuver,
and the maintenance and sanitation
of camps. We should encourage
such training and make it means Of
discipline which our young men will
learn to value. 1t is right that We
should provide it not only, but that
we should make it as attractive as
men to undergo it at such times as
they can command little freedom
and can seek the physical develop
ment they need, for mere health's
sake, if for nothing more. Every
means by which such things can
be stimulated is legitimate and such a
method smacks of true American
ideas.
"It is right, too, that the national
guard of the states should be de-
veloped and strengthened by every
means which is not inconsistent with
out obligations to our own people or
with the established policy of our
government. And this, also, not be-
cause the time or occasion specially
calls for such measures, but because
it should be our constant policy to
make these provisions for our nation
al peace and safety.
"More than this carries with it a
reversal of the whole hosiery and
character of our policy. More than
this, proposed at this time, permit
me to say would mean merely that we
had lost our self-possession, that we
had been thrown off our balance by
a war with which we have nothing to
do, whose causes cannot touch US,
whose very existence affords us op-
portunities of friendship and disin-
terested service which should make
us ashamed of any thought of hostil-
ity or fearful preparation for trouble.
This is assuredly the opportunity for
which a people and a government
like ours were raised up, the opportu-
ity not only to speak but actually to
embody and eXemplify the counsels of
peace and amity and the lasting con-
cord which is based on justice and
fair and generous dealing.
"a powerful navy we have always
regarded as our proper and natural
means of defense; and it has always
been of defense that we have thought,
never of aggression or of conquest.
But who shall tell us now what sort
of navy to build? We shall take leave
to be strong upon the seas, in the
future as in the past! and there will
be no thought of offense or of provo
cation in that. Our ships are our
natural bulwarks When will the ex-
perts tell us just what kind we should
construct-and when will they be
right for ten years together, if the
relative efficiency of craft of different
kinds and uses continues to change

will know how to declare itself and
make itself effective should occasion
arise. And especially when half the
world is on fire we shall be careful
to make our moral insurance against
the spread of the conflagration very
definite and certain and adequate in

will do. We must depend in every

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Captains and river folk tarried Sun

In the olden days-the new days of
Florida and Oklawaha river travel
In the days of the fifties and sixties,
when the wild birds of many colors
few over the land-the glorious col
ored picture land of the Oklawaha
river basin-in the early days of the
Florida orange, the great Florida
mountain, Sunday Bluff, had no name.
It was in this fashion the name
was attached to Sunday Bluff: In
In those days there was no railway
in this section, except the trans-Flor-
ida +. c. & P.-Florida Central and
Peninsular-and that railway did not
touch the Oklawaha river proper. SO,
In order to transport freight on the
river Captain Rice and Captain Gray
and others poled barges laden with
freight stuff from Jacksonville to up
per river points and stations. Sunday
Bluff marks the halfway station, and
when the barges arrived in the Okla
waha the schedule was so fixed that
the arrival days at Sunday Bluff
would be on Sunday, and so the river
captains named the shell mountain

country home of the McClures, pa
rents of Grover Cleveland Mcclure,

Old Jupiter is the work-god down
here in the basin of the Oklawaha.
Old Jupiter works diligently on rainy
days, of which days Florida is gener-
Gus in winter, though they be (ojus)
heap much sprinkled with sunshine.
On these days Jupe boldly and with
herculean strength takes in one hand
the whole Oklawaha river basin; in
the other hand he sprinkles forth
with the copious and very wet drops
of water all over the basin and all the
trees and beautiful birds that fly over
land. And when Old Sol swims over
the wilderness the following morning
brand new day has bloomed. Every
green leaf fairly shines as ii Old

clear blue bowl-a sky of the sky

and it lies grey in the sun. The pal

all over the trees, Offsets the picture
of the fastness. When the sun goes
down then settles the gathering

of boats, with window and signal
lights, churn pass, followed by the

THE STORY OF TWO GIANTS


There was once beautiful coun-
try. All kinds of beautiful, useful and
wonderful things, could be found
there. Many kinds of luscious fruits
and nuts, great fields of grain, and
over the plains roamed hundreds OF
herds of fine cattle and sheep. The
rivers and lakes were full of fine fish
lin fact, there were quantities of
things to eat and of materials to
make clothes and the comforts of life.
When a stranger first entered the
country he thought what a beautiful
and wonderful country it was and
how happy the people must be.
Wherever he went he saw brightness
and, it seemed, happiness.
He saw beautiful homes, beautiful
ladies dressed in elegant clothing and
riding in splendid carriages.
All he met seemed to be very busy
and happy.
He said to himself, 81 should like to
make this country my home. 1t seems
to be so much easier and pleasanter
to live here than in any country l
have been in" So he made it his
home
Strange to say he had not lived
there long until change seemed to
come over things.
He began to notice shadows in
some of the faces he saw; lines of
trouble that he had not noticed be-
fore.
He began to wonder how this could
be and the more he wondered the
more he wanted to find the cause of
the shadow that seemed to darken
the faces about him.
The desire possessed him so strong
1y that he spent his entire time in
seeking the reason.
He travelled about the country
studying the people and the condi-
lions under which they lived.
After long time he discovered the
reason. "

that he made the people believe he
was their friend when, in fact, he was
their most terrible enemy.
He got them in his power and made
them do as he wished them to.
Once in his power they could only
make money, money and more
money.
He told them they must make it
regardless of how, when or why. If
honor stood in the way, then kill hon
or; if sorrow followed, if untold agon-
.es followed, never mind, only make
money, money and more money.

heads were grey with the years they
had lived and served their country.
1t became so hard to live, at last,
that people gathered in groups to
find a means of relief from their mis-
cry. Now there lived, in that coun-
try, another giant. He was far more
powerful than the giant who was
an enemy to the people.
Never in all the world could be
found such a powerful giant. Never
was there such bigness, such
strength, such love and honesty as
was found in this big giant
Alas, alas, for many years, so long
that people had forgotten about him,
this giant had been asleep.
If the people had only remembered
about him they need never have suf-
fered so long. He would have come
to their rescue and delivered them
from their enemy.

into this country and had spent so
many years trying to find the reason
