Paris, Aug. 24.-With the war
Office refusing to give out any in
formation about the great battle
which has been going on for three
days along one hundred miles of the
Belgian frontier and to the LuXem-
burg border there is a growing feel
ing of pessimism here. The uneasi-
ness has been increased by the ad-
mission of the war department that
the Germans have crossed the bor-
der and now occupy Luneville. The
mind of the people was further dis
turbed by reports that Nancy had
been captured, but this is denied at
the war office.

marked as now and never did peace
seem SO sweet to a nation. One of
the blessings of the. gigantic slaugh-
ter in Europe Is that when it has
ended the frightful cost bill will
make those countries sick for CEN
turtles to come at the very thought
of war. We are nearer to a perma-
ment world peace now than ever be-
fore, and the roar through the land
that we are menaced and unpre-
pared is the loud noise Of the dema-
gogue which is voice and nothing
more.

less forms Of intellectual exercise

the European war is going to last.
Nobody barred-educated and un-

The equal suffrage ladies in State
convention at Pensacola didn't waste
time in platitudes about votes for
women, but with an eye for business
which in itself is a strong argument
for the ballot, Immediately proceed
ed to pass the hat and raise money
to carry the campaign all over Flor
ida. For our part, we shall not OBJ
ject il in future campaigns we are
called on to listen to the arguments
from "the stump" of intellectual,

ballot for their sex. They will prob
ably draw better crowds than the
male orators, and they could hardly
make worse speeches.

The meeting of the Florida Edu-
cational Association which meets in
Lakeland the latter part of this
month promises to be record break
err in point of attendance and will
bring hundreds of people to our city.
These annual meetings are very
helpful to the teachers and stimu-
lates them to renewed efforts in
their great work of educating the
youth of Florida. Whatever helps
the teachers helps the pupils, and
without capable instructors, them
selves we'll educated and feeling real
enthusiasm in their work, our public
school system is in vain. We are
glad to see that many of the county
school boards have agreed to aid in
paying the expenses of the teachers
to the meeting of the Association in
Lakeland. 1t will be money we'll
spent, for every teacher so aided will
feel an increased sense of Obligation
to the taxpayers to render the best
possible service to their children.

Yesterday we heard a well-known
merchant in Lakeland say that bust
ness was better with him now than
it was this time last year, and while
he was talking another man came
up and remarked that he had just
seen a well-known Florida drummer
who was home again from a tour of
his territory and he said he got as
many orders and found business as
good as it was year ago. All of
which helps to prove that there may
be such thing as merely psychology
ical hard times, after all.

The next legislature, which meets
in April, will have plenty to do, and
one of the things it ought to do is to
put into law the recommendation
made by the Florida Federation of
Women Clubs at it's recent session
in Lakeland, providing for the com
pulsory registration of births and
deaths in the various communities
of the State, SO that Florida may be
able to keep a complete record of
vital statistics. We cant do any
thing in this world worth while
without adequate data to go on.

A gang of alarmists in this coun-
try led by Senator Lodge, is tryins
to throw a scare into the people
about our unpreparedness for war as
though we were environed by threat
ening foes and very serious danger
menaced us. What nonsense! There
was never time since this republic
was founded when we were in so lit
tie danger of war as right now. The
great nations of Europe are strain
ing themselves to exhaustion with
their own bloody turmoil, and the
whole world is so Mortified with the
hideous thing that it abhors the very
thought of war and was never less
inclined in that direction than it is
now. The reaction against this
cruel and senseless way of settling
International disputes was never so

"The officials of Sacramento Cal,
have done the rest Of the country a
service by locking up Cen Charles
4. Kelley and dispensing his hobo army
which recently left San Francisco os-
tensibly headed for Washington,
About twenty years ago this same
Gen" Kelley started from the West
with similar aggregation. A part of
the crowd reached Washington after a
multiplicity Of experiences, where, Of
course, it accomplished nothing. In
the interim the hobo army caused an
enormous lot Of annoyance and expense
TO the communities upon which il in
hicted itself. 1t spent many days in
Wondering through the Ohio Valley
and number Of cities have cause To
remember it, and to pray to be deliver.
ed from similar visitation.
The story that this hobo army con
cemplated Selling the Rock Island
arsenal and starting a rebellion against
the United States probably is mere
pipe dream. So far as Kelley is con.
cerned be is hardly seeking anything
more than little notoriety. Unless he
has changed very materially from the
Kelley Of twenty years ago he is a
mild.mannered, intelligent, diplomatic
individual not given TO rabid or radical
outbur5ts. There may be In his hobo
collection persons with little enough
reason and sense 10 indulge in talk
about rebellion, but il is reasonable TO
believe that Kelley tells the truth
when he says he would never counsel
or countenance anything Of the kind,
There Is not much danger in Kelley,
and his army is only formidable in
toraging In fact 1t does not seem
likely 70 recover from the dispersa, at
Sacramento. The officials Of that city
have electually cooled the ardor Of the
rank and file, The General will
have to get out ofdurance before he can
attempta reorganization lIe may not
attempt such a thing and il he does it
will be some what difficult TO secure re-
cruits."

THURSDAY, MARCH 2G, 1914

Speaking to convention OF land
men in Minnesota recently, organized
to induce farming development, James
!. Hill told the assembled delegates
there was altogether too much farm
ing done with the mouth and too little
with the fists. "Get busy" said Mr..
Hill, "and farm the land, thereby PROV
ing what it is capable of doing; then
people will come and buy it,"
Mr.. Hills advice is good, for seeing
is believing, and lands of demonstrated
value for productive purposes are not
hard to SELL But Minnesota has large
areas of undeveoped land and II
her experience is like that OF other
states the farmers are not getting any
too good results from the farms now
being operated-at least the majority
are not. The farmer who runs his
farm economically and inteIligentIy
usually gets fair returns, but the most
of the farmers are not making the most
of their opportunities. Many of them
are quitting the farms and moving TO
the cities to take up other vacations.
The land cannot be farmed, as Mr..
Hill advises, unless there are farmers
TO farm it, The men who made up the
land convention, he may be assured,
are not going to do much actual farm
ing. It is their business TO farm the
farmer rather than the land.
They are emphatically of the class
which does its farming with the
mouth" They are right, however,
in inviting immigration and in adverti-
sing their state. In this way they can
sell their land if they offer it at rea-
sonable prices and terms and they will
attract many farmers of small means,
but of great value to the State.
There is no scarcity Of land, but
there is scarcity OF farmers who are
able TO buy it. There is no lack of
persons who want land, but many of
these persons are without means to
purchase. There are some millions of
tenant farmers in this country and most
OF them would like to own farms. If
the Minnesota land men can devise
plan by which they can put their wild
lands on the market on long time and
small payments they should be able
10 sell them, without any demonstra-
tion work such as Mr., Hill has recon.
mended.
