The Navy league, which is in nature
, an adjunct for the building up Of the
4. navy through the armor trust, the am
Imunirion ring and the shipbufIding
trust. is raising the question Of patri-
Iotism Of those who insist on the gov

of war, including battleships. Just
where the Navy league has anv
grounds for questioning the patriot
ism Of any person for advocating the
I building of battleship by the govern

should the government pay fabulous
profits to the shipbuilding trust when
! it can build its own battIeships and

expended in the creation Of these in
stFuments Of warfare?
Congressman Tavenner has been
making a strong tight against the
Navy league getting a foothold for the
construction of the future battIeships.
holding that these can be built by the
government cheaper and better than if
the armor ring, ammunition ring and
the shlpbuilding trust get their tenta-
cles on the contracts. CONGRESSMAN
Tavenner states that ever since he has
been a member of congress he has re-
ceiyed literature from the big navy"
lobby, and finally he determined to
write a letter to the officers of the
Navy league, calling attention to the
fact that their pleas for a larger navy
are tainted and will continue to be
tainted until they advocate the govern
ment manufacture of all munitions of
war, Recently Congressman Taven-
ner addressed the following letter to
A. H. Dadmun, the secretary of the
league, and among other things said

THE DEMAND FOR sUBMAR.

The National Defense league ba,
sent out the following appeal for more
submarines in the United States navy:
"A recent account, widely printed
/ by the press, that the general navy
board will recommend appropriations
for at least thirty submarines. and
that these viii be included in the
naval estimates to be sent to the next

right as far as If goes, but it does not
go far enough according to rha
leagues statement

The league has launched a campaign
Throughout the country to arouse puh-

In the campaign the league will

lenses of Honolulu and Pearl Ffarbor

Advertising Florida

St Augustine Record: Since the
meeting held at Palatka last Wednes-
day the newspapers of the state have
had opportunity to comment editorial
ly on the program mapped out for adj
vertising Florida to the outside world.
Without exception this comment has
been not only favorable but enthusi-
astic. The proposition is to raise
$4,000, or more if it can be secured.
to make known the advantages and re-
sources of this wonderful part of the
country. A significant and radical
departure is noted in that no adver-
Using is to be placed in Florida news
papers but the newspaper mediums
are to be all from outside the state.
This will insure a wide circulation
among the. people that it is desired 10
reach and interest. There is no move
of more Importance to Florida that
has been undertaken in a long time
than this one, and its success is al
ready assured because those who have
the interest of the state are anxious
to cooperate both with time and
money. 1t is proposed to cover every
portion of the state so that the sup
port to be given the movement ought
to be statewide. No community can
afford not to have its share of pub
LEFTY, and it is safe to assume that
the splendid committee placed in
charge of the publicity work will
measure up to all requirements.

A Day of Reckoning

Orlando Reporter-Star: Clarence
Woods, of the Eustis Lake Region, is
receiving a deserved drubbing from
the st. Petersburg papers for his I'M
warranted dipping into the Pinellas
county campaign for brick bonds
The opposition is circulating Woods
paper with its sand asphalt propa-
ganda and its picture of the storm
damaged Orange county brick road.
The st. Pete Times has a cartoon of
the Woods person equipped with a
nose reaching from Lake county down
into Pinellas-sticking his nose into
other peoples business. 1t rather
seems that Woods would be satisfied
with having worked his own county
in favor of sand-oil; that's as far as
any country editor ought to go. 1t
is safe to predict that Woods will
leave Lake county before the outrag-
ed taxpayers of a few years hence
rise UP and smite the men responsible
for this folly.

"Wait minute father" laughed
Thomas, amid the eager looks of all
the others, who were evidently full of
suppressed excitement. "We-well--
we've feel as though we all wanted
to see more of you and mother than
we have seen lately, but we don't feel
safe to have you travelling around
on the cars any more, and your horses
can't take you as far as most of us
live, so we have dubbed together and
have bought you the strongest and
handsomest limousine car that we
could find. We have put sum at
interest in the bank to pay for the
keeping of it, and we have had Job
taught how to run it. You know he
has been away good many after
moons. Well, he has been learning
how to run a car. You can trust him,
and now you and mother can heat
big soapstone and climb into your
limousine and come and see us all,
and we expect you to do it. Now
what do you say to that, father?"
What could the old man say?
He turned red, stammered, looked
at his wife, who was smiling signi-
fcantly, and then had the grace to
accept and thank his children for
their munificent gift.

ger that we should guard against?
We should rebuke not only manifes-
tations of racial feeling here in Amer

also every manifestation of religious
and sectarian antagonism. 1t does
not become America that within her
borders, where every man is free to
follow the dictates of his conscience
and worship God as he pleases, men
should raise the cry of church against
church. To do that is to strike at
the very spirit and heart of Ameri-
ca. We are Godfearing people.
We agree to differ about methods of
worship, hut we are united in be-
lieving in Divine Providence and
in wolshipping the God of Nations.
We are the champions of

it our countenance and support. The

cation and the nation is conscious of

THE GAINESVILLE
GOOD ROADS MEETING
Will be One of Unusual In
terest from Present
Indications.

From present indications the
Gainesville meeting of the Central
Florida Highway Association, on the
9th of December, will be one of the
most interesting of the whole series.
1t is understood that an effort is be-
ing made to get an exhibit of the
various kinds of road materials to be
at Gainesville on that date.
There will be reports showing just
what progress has been made by the
various counties toward the building
of the Dixie Highway and the many
laterals. Also some splendid speech
es by noted men on the problems Of
good roads building.
One of the things being discussed in
Gainesville as a means of entertain
ing the visitors, is a get together
and get acquainted smoker the night
before the convention is to be called
together. Those who have attended
Gainesville's smokers know they are
great.
