in new guise and We wish the pro-
paganda all sorts of good luck, but
our hopes are weak. If Russia wins
out in the present war, the soft
promises of the cZar to his dear
Poles will never take the form of
freedom for their country, for that
would be to create new nation of
doubtful Friendship between Ger
many and Russia; and if the latter
loses, Free Poland is further away
than ever. The loyalty of Poland
to Russia now will probably result
in kinder treatment to the nation
conquered so long ago, but it will
not result in separate nationality
nor even in home rule in the Irish
sense of the word. Russian cars
are not built that way. He who
can may take, and he who has may
keep, is their theory of government.

People who come here from the
North expecting to find in sub-trop-
ical Florida the deep, black soil of
the section they come from are
singularly unwise and unthinking
and would limit the great big world
with its infinite diversity of soil and
production, by the horizon of their
own locality. They should learn
wisdom from the agricultural col
lege professor up at Gainesville who
recently said to RUDE Allyn:
"The Almighty knew what he
was doing when he made Florida
land what it is. 1t is just exactly
what is needed to grow things that
are good to live on in this climate.
If the lands of the north were
moved into this genial cline,
growth would be SO immense and
insect life SO numerous it would be
unfit for human habitation. Each
piece of earth has it's own good
things provided.

Mr.. Lambright, of the Tampa Tri-
bune, just returned from two
weeks stay in New York city,
where he heard many people talk
on many subjects, including the Eu-
ropean war and it's effect ON the
tourist world, adds his opinion to
that of most other intelligent trav-
elers who keep their ears open for
useful information relating to the
home market and says that the out
look for Florida tourists this win
ter is perfectly ell right. He puts
it this way:
Unanimous was the opinion ex-
pressed to the writer on one sub
ject-that the shutting off of trans
Atlantic touring would mean a
doubling or trebling Of the annual
exodus southwark. Experts of the
transportation service agree that
the tourist section of the South

coming winter it's greatest crowds. u

THE PLAIN PEOPLE LARGELY
OWN OUR RAILROADS

Much of the criticism and de-
nunciation of railroads in this coun-
try is sedulously fostered by poll
ticians of a certain kind who pic
ture the roads as concrete express
sions of the money power seeking
always to Cypress the people. These
politicians themselves are artfully
seeking I'd rise to place and power
by encouraging this prejudice
against one of the largest factors in
our national wealth and strength,
and they have so far succeeded that
in the minds of many of the unin-
formed and unthinking, railroads
are regarded as easy marks and le-
Ultimate prey in all ways from
damage suits to train robbery.
But as a matter Of fact, our rail-
roads, so far from being the con-
centrated wealth of the money pow
er, are owned by probably more peo-
pie than any other single form of
property. The stock is widely dis
tributed among literally hundreds
of thousands Of men and women,
large proportion Of them Of the mid
die class who have invested their
savings in this form in the hope of
fair profit upon the investment.
We think of our Atlantic Coast
Line, for instance, as the property
of small group Of very wealthy
people who have so much money
that they are not entitled to any
sympathy from those of us who are
less fortunate; and yet this big
system, serving the people of Flor
ida every day in the year, is owned
by more than three thousand peo-
pie and more than half of them are
women. Here are the figures:
Of total of 3,119 stockholders
registered on the books of the At
lantic Coast Line as of June 80,
1914, only 10 were European, hold
ings totaling $4,000 Of a total
Outstanding stock of $6S,55S,000.
Number Of women stockholders on
June 80, 1914, were 1884, as
against 1,11S June 80, 1913. To-
tai number of stockholders June 80,
1918, 2,649.

Our good friend Editor Russell of

from the last issue of his excellent
paper:
"The Dade City Banner comes to
us this week with the name of w.
M. Hetherington as editor and pro-
prietor inserted at the top of the
editorial column. And the paper
shows marked improvement from
the start. The editorial greeting
is modest and to the point. 1t makes
no great promise, but asks that it's

Old Frederick the Great licked all
Europe when they had him cornered
and his forces were reduced to a
handful The present kaiser, who
never loses an opportunity to refer
to that same Frederick as my an
cestor," may have an opportunity to
repeat that celebrated performance
before a great while the way things
are looking now, but we doubt if he
will do it. The personal equation
counted for much more in the old
days than now, and beaten soldiers
no longer rally to victory around a
dominating and magnetic personal
ity. War is still horrible and hell,
but no longer productive of Frede-
ricks and Napoleons.

certainty in this State if he would
hurry up with that appointment of
somebody to succeed the late Judge

ends and there is a wide diversity
of opinion as to the right man for
