HE FAILS TO FIND THEM

Speaking of hard times, which it
has become fixed habit with some
people to talk about as pet theory
of theirs which they are always
seeking an opportunity to expound,
elucidate and elaborate, what's the
matter with the following which we
found in the Jacksonville Metropolis
of Saturday:
IF there are hard times under the
Wilson administration, have failed
to find them" said Edward D. Eas-
ton, a prominent business man of
New York, in an interview here to-
day. II have never found business
so good. have voted the Republican
ticket all my life, but my hats OF
to Wilson He is without doubt the
greatest president we have ever had.
Business men should stop bowling
and get to work.
las far as my own contact with
the commercial world is concerned,
we are now at the height of pros
perity, and we are going higher.
Prospects everywhere are roster than
they have been for vars
LAS a practical illustration of
prosperity the Columbia Graphic
phone Company is about to resume
common dividends which were sus-
pended under the Roosevelt admin
istration, and what is more, | have
just let contracts for the erection of
a $250,000 addition to our plant at
Bridgeport, Conn. We are paying
higher wages than ever before in
the history Of Bridgeport. which fs
essentially factory city. and are
giving the men shorter hours for
more pay than they ever saw before
On a recent trip to the Pacific coast,
I found evidence. not Of returning
prosperity, but prosperity that had
arrived in huge chunks with lots
more to come"

IL that new editor of the Pensa-
cola News. H. H. Brickell. who
comes from Alabama, is of the blood
and breed of Robert c. Brickell,
former chief justice Of that State,
who died some years ago, he ought
to have brains, plenty of them and
Of fine quality. We once heard a
distin guished northern man, who
was always careful of his words and
chary of his praise. say that Judge
Briekell was the William NJ. Evarts
Of the South. And Mr.. Evarts was
credited with the finest legal mind
at the American bar. What a rare
old man that same Judge Brickell
was, with his solemn parchment
face, his rusty suit of black. his
quaint smile, dry, keen, kindly
humor and deep vision into things
beyond the ken of common minds.
He could pack more thought into
fewer, simpler words than any man
of his day in Alabama, and one
didn't need to be lawyer to under
stand the limpid clearness of his de-
cisions. What fascinating types
were those old lawyers and jurists
of day that is dead. How simple,
unassuming and kindly, but what
masters in the rapier play Of trained
intellects when their blood was up
and the Joy OF big legal combat
possessed them!

Those papers and politicians whose
denunciation of the administration
foreign policy amounts almost to q
mania will learn with deep chagrin
that the United States government Is
bucking up to England and has in
formed her in positive terms that it
could not "either admit the right Of
the allies or their claims for justi-
fication in placing an embargo on all
commercial intercourse between
Germany and neutral countries.
The aforesaid papers and politicians.
to maintain their consistent hostil-
ity to President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan. no matter what they do
or say. should at once sound the
alarm and protest against putting
this country in a dangerous attitude
toward the troubles in Europe that
might involve US in war But as il
is perfectly certain that we could
lick poor, friendless Mexico in short
order. they are quite willing for US
to get warlike in that direction and
bully that unhappy land on the
slightest provocation. The tragedy
of war in Europe and the comedy Of
party politics in America give the
Spectators plenty of entertainment
these days.

Governor TrammeIl's message to
the legislature is very long docu-
ment, but it is well worth reading,
for it is packed with useful sug-
gestlons and recommendations to
the legislature made by man who
has given long and careful study to
the various subjects embodied in the
message and who has brought to
their consideration the best of his
brain and conscience. No man knows
Florida and her needs better than
Park Trammell, and the legislature
will derive valuable aid from his
message.
