The isolation Of Germany shuts
this country off from the potash
used in making our commercial fer
tilizers, but experts say that enough
potash has sunk in the soil already
whore the fertilizers have been
used to last a year, and by that
time the war will be over. And by
that time, also, the inventive genius
of our people may have found some
substitute for potash. 1t is our
boast that the United States might
be fenced off from all the world and
we could get along about as we'll as
though all markets were open
to us to buy from. A little thing
like German potash is not going to
seriously disturb our economic in
dependence because we can't get it
while the war lasts

The Sanford Herald insists on a
curfew law for Sanford and says:
"If some Of the parents could see
their youngsters on the streets after
ten at night they would demand
this law and see that it was en-
forced -
They miqht and then again they
mightn't. Some parents have such
crude and primitive notions of the
ethical relation of parent aud child
such notions as prevailed during
the days of the caye-man on earth
that they are not disturbed by
the trining circumstances that their
kids are loafng about the streets
late at night and taking on full
supply of evil habits to bring them
10 disaster later on. Our criminal
class is largely recruited from boys
thus brought up, and when such
boys get in convict stripes or ether
wise go to the bad, an ideally per-
feet system of justice would bring
a heavier measure of penalty upon
the guilty parents than upon the
guilty boys.

Sturdy old Admiral Dewey takes
keen interest in the present Eu-
ropean situation and says that war
over there will do us good in the
United States because it will give
us keener appreciation of our own
country with its Incompatible bless
ing of peace with all mankind.
See America first" will be the slo-
gan of the tourists, says the admir-
al, now that they cant go to Eu-
rope, and as we can put it all over
that country in everything except
ruins and lords, they will really
get more for their money by the
new departure And when it comes
to seeing America first, the noun
tains and plains of the West are
well enough during the summer
months, but when the cold weather
arrives with its snow and :cc and
billiards., the very best part of
America to see and feel and hug and
caress is our own dear Florida.

worth trying elsewhere.

For the first time in our history
the government is seeking to use its
powers to catch up with the fellows
who are advancing the price CT food
stuffs in the purely selfish spirit of
the gambler and eXtortioner. Such
crimes heretofore in our history
have been perpetrated without the
slightest legal interference, but it
really seems that one of the chief
functions of law and courts is to
prevent and punish in just such
cases, 1t is to the great credit of
the Wilson administration that it
has promptly taken the initiative in
this matter and is seeking to es-
tablish a new precedent that will
save the country from the merciless
eXactions of these heartlcss gam
blers in the necessities of life. Rises
in prices justified by economic con-
dltions are not to be prevented, but
with the biggest crops in or his
tory and the country at peace with
all the world, there can be no sort
of justification or excuse for the
sudden and heavy rise in the prices
of things we have to eat and wear.
More and more is it becoming an
parent that one of the best rene
dies for many of our big troubles
is to put some of the criminal rich
in the penitentiary.

We note from an item in the
Times-Union that +. r. McCor-
mack, for many years editor of the
Live Oak Democrat and who . few
years ago established a successful
insurance agency in Live Oak as a
kind of side line to the Democrat.
has moved to jacksonville. II is
hard to think of the Democrat or
even of Live Oak apart from the
genial and kindly personality of
Mack, - and he is himself so at
tached to both the paper ana the
town that we doubt if he viii en-
tirely sever his relations with them.
Through years OF hard and effective
work he made the Democrat one of
the best weeklies in Florida and
under the competent MANAGEMENT
of R L. Swegar it will remain 50.
but the Democrat entirely without
Mack and Mack entirely with
out the Democrat, doesn't somehow
seem right and creates a sensation
of loneliness. In Jacksonville Mr..
Mccormack will continue his insur-
ance business. which was so pros
porous as to call for a wider field.
but he will never get his affections
weaned from the Democrat ana Live
oak and the smell of printers ink
will always be grateful incense toI
his nostrils.
