Why Steal Buckets
When Water is Free

The we'll on the property of
Mr.. D. M. Barentine, and at the
side Of The Advertiser office, has
for long time borne the repu-
cation of supplying the finest
water in town. This claim has
been undispusted and through
Mr.. Barentine's liberality many
people in the com munity have
been supplied with this excel
lent thirst quencher.
LII other respects this we'll
seemed just like other wells,
buckets and all appearing to be
'nIy normal-oniy the water it.
self is clearer, colder and sweet
er than the ordinary we'll af-
f0rds.
Now it seems that someone
has hit upon the idea that the
virtue of this we'll, that spread
it's fame far and wide, depended
upon the buckets used, or else
that the old buckets, after
olunging and soaking for SO
many years in its sweet water
have absorbed it's goodness to
such an extent that they would
ne able to impart that quality
wherever transplanted.
At any rate someone has
swiped Mr.. Barentine's old
buckets. Leaks, patches aid all
they are gone from here. In
he stiffness of the night the
'ope was cut AID the faithful old
buckets carried away.
1t is suggested that if another
we'll in the community suddenly
begins to produce water of 9
quality like that of the we'll i,
question, Mr.. Barentine be in
( rmed that he may examine

Presid -nt's Message Calls
For Adeqaate Defense

A doctrine of Pan-American.
ism-of full partnership between
the: :nations Of the Western Hem.
lsphere In world affairs-was
proclaimed by President Wilson
on Tuesday in his third annual
Y ldress to Congress, the theme
3f which was preparedness by
the United States to defend not
only it's own independence, but
the rights Of those with whom
1T has made cause. The mes.
sage was read by the president
to the Senate and house assem-
hled in joint session in the cham
Der of the house.
Every recommendation en-
bodied In the document had to
do with comprehensive plans
for strengthening the national
defenses. The programme in
cluded the army and navy plans

| From The Wall Street Journal.
A prominent and somewhat
over-advertised manufacturer of
automobiles is quoted as saying
he is willing to spend his entire
fortune to accomplish peace. 1t
is a perfectly safe offer, because
there is really nothing he can do
about it if his fortune were ten
times as large as it is.
Great Britain and her allies
are willing to do more. In or
der to accomplish peace they are
spending not millions, but bill
lions. They are offering up hu-
man life, with the entire APPROX
al of the soldier who makes the
personal sacrifice. They are do
ing that also by the million, and
the Detroit manufacturer, how
ever rich he may be, has not
enough money to buy a single
one of these lives.
1t must be plain to any rea-
soma BILE person that the concep-
tion of peace held by the Allies
is the true one. They will
achieve it when they have made
conditions such that there shall
be no more war. a mere truce,
giving Germany a chance to build
up again it's war machine and
devise some eXpedient for evad-
lag the overwhelming predomln-
a"ce of the British navy, which
alone has brought German world
am billions to naught, would not
be peace at all, but q premium
upon future murder.
1t is not here suggested that
the war can continue indefnite-
ly. For financial reasons alone
there is good ground for suppos-
ing that it is nearing it's close.
But a peace on the lines sugges-
ted by our maudlin and befog-
ged peace advocates here is un-
thinkable. Germany Is beaten
now. She was beaten when the
first rush on Paris failed. She
can only make the beating more
expensive to her adversaries,
and this she is doing. But peace
is an lmpossibility until she has
learned ouce and for all that she
is beaten, and, in the spiritual
and eternal fact, beaten for all
time,

A Centennial Celebration
For Florida Proposed

A very proper suggestion has
been made that Florida should
celebrate the centennial of her
Ainericanship. February %,
1919, Florida was ceded to the
United States by Spain. Flori-
da newspapers are urging that
arrangements should be started
at once for gigantic celebra-
tion Of the centennial in 1919.
An exposition is suggested in
some quarters as the best means
for attracting a crowd and pro-
viding an object-lesson, showing
the Florida of the past and the
present.
AN exceedingly interesting
exposition could be designed and
carried out, one that would por-
tray the romantic past of the
State and that would impress
the visitor with the wide varie-
ty of opportunities and attrac-
tiohs which the State today pre-
sents to seekers of homes, where
conditions are CT attractive va
riety and form, and where the
developments of the future are
certain to be extensive and
great. Care should be taken,
however, that an exposition
within reasonable means should
be undertaken. 1t would be a
great mistake to plan on scale
so ella borate that the project
could not easily be carried out.
Properly designed and wisely
executed, the plan should appeal
to all the people of Florida and
should receive the endorse m ent
of the public at large. The
