BELIEVES END OF WAR
NOT FAR AWAY

Mr.. John Srhnarr, Orlando's in
secticide manufacturer, believes that
the end of the war is not far away
and he has reason for the faith that
is in him.
German potash has been cut off
from the markets ever since the war
began, and no effort has been made
to sell it, The latter part of last
week Mr.. Scnarr received a letter
from one of the American agents of
the German Kali works, stating that
shipment would begin again soon .
The German kaiser owns vast potash
mines and the fact that literature
on subject again is being sent out
is taken by Mr.. Schnarr to mean
tfat Germany is going to end tn"
va, or make efforts in that direc

THE WOMEN ARE IN EARNEST

The writer of Proverbs, who was
better acquainted with human ma
ture and knew more than the pres
en-. race OF politicians, declared .hat
hove deferred makcth the heart sick
The preaching of patience by the
man with vote, to the woman
without one, is perilously near do
ing much more than making the
heart sick over the assumption of
mans egotistic claim to superiority.
If any man still imagines that the
question of votes for women is a
mere political wrangle, he is mis-
reading every potent in the social
fi-ament.
The latent antagonism of sex, so
far as equal rights are concerned,
gathering strength for centuries by
the reading of literatue that made
woman an inferior being, and DOOM
ed her to silence in the presence of
her assumed lord and master, is
swelling into flood.
What women are rightly demand
ing is more than the mere right to
vote-It is equality with men. 1t is
a question of principle, or nothing at
all.
If anybody cares to argue that It
is in accordance with principle that
a line should be drawn between the
rights of the sexes, he will soon DIS
cover that though he may appeal to
a prejudiced Philip. he cannot long
impose upon a reasonable Philip.
The women are in earnest. Their
claim is based upon fundamental
American. doctrine as to political
rights. No man would enjoy the
imprecation of brutal mobs, I'M
prisonment in cold cells, or take
kindly to forcible feeding, nor do
the women, but these things show
an earnestness that cannot fail to
win
These things are the result, not
of vanity, not of desire for notoriety.
but of overmastering conviction

lioan prospects he, means that the
American people are practically

dent in his foreign policies. end he
recognizes the fact that at this time

nant issue. Judge Taft express

to certain actions of the President
are highly creditable to the J1dCo
and carry to the President assur-
ances of popular support which nc
other personal utterance could give.
| The Governors, at their confer
ence in Boston, follow the lead OF
Judge Taft and declare with more
emphasis and directness their conf
dence in the President in this hour
F; of international concern, and the as
surance of their readiness to follow
his leadership in all matters he
deems best to promote the honor
!, and maintain the peace and welfare
of the nation.

not ask. Less than this American
citizens, in public or private life,
cannot afford to offer They want
peace if peace be possible, but war
If war be necessary for the main
tenance of those thim?s nation

The intimation that we ought to
go to war in order that we may par
ticipate in the framing of the peace
treaty is comical travesty Of

cut of the European war if possible,
and one of the reasons we want to
keep out of it is we do not want to
be dragged into the peace confer

upon us foreign to our nature and

gress, where the spirit of democracy'
will prevail against the mere asser-
tion of dynastic necessities, thera
will come, new system of political
relations, a new concert of Powers,
a new equilibrium of Europe, based
on popular sovereignty, which will
reconcile the conflicting claims of al

A TALK TO MERCHANTS

houses on the business of country
merchants is to be stopped, publish
ers must come to the front with their
assistance. Some publishers are Of
the opinion that it is up to the deal
ers to fight their own battles, but
those most far-sighted realize that
a growing community will be bene-
fetal to their own business. No
publisher ever lost much by giving
his help to aid his neighbor.
But publishers should remember
that they are entitled to the sup
port of those they aim to help,
especially in the case of opposing
mail-order houses. By liberal ad-
, vertising any dealer who finds that
out-of-town concerns are hurting
his business can recuperate his losses
and turn the trend in his direction.
A. w. Cline, publisher of the David
sonian at Townsville, N. c., talks
right from the shoulder to those who
allow The business which rightfully
belongs to them to go elsewhere. In
a recent issue he talks to local
dealers like this:
Local merchants wonder why 1t
is that the mail-order business Is
constantly increasing, when to the
mind of man who knows the first
principles of advertising it is per-
fectly plain. If local merchants,
especially furniture dealers, would
profit by the experience of the mail
order houses, who have built up
their business solely from the proper
kind of advertising, they would have
hauled away from their stores the
car loads of furniture that come to
the freight offices every month from
mail-order houses.
THE housewife is the one who
generally selects the furniture FOR
the home, and if she can pick up =
mail-order catalogue and in a few
minutes select what she wants, it is
settled fact that she is not coins
to walk to the furniture store, or ii
she lives in the country, hitch up
and drive in, to look over the local
mans stock to see if he has what
she wants. Instead, she is going TO
write out an order for the article
she wants and have it delivered tn
the freight depot and all the
trouble there is to it will be to have
team stop and get it some time
when in town.
IF the local man would adver-
tise properly the new articles that
he receives and constantly keep the
public informed as to what he car
ries in stock, all the trouble it
would be to the housewife when she
wanted an article would be to call
the merchant over the telephone and
tell him to load the article on the
wagon when it came to town. The
wa. tut vi lOCdl
carry on their business the public
will never know what they have in
stock.
THE time is coming when man
who won't advertise will be consid-
cred out of the game. or rather will
have to get out and make room 70:
progressive men who are building
up their business by advertising.
The above facts arc true in every
line of the mercantile business and
it is encouraging to the newspaper
man to know that the majority of
the merchants are waking up on
this question. However, there are
those who are beyond redemption
and will be buried so deep that the,
will never be able to see the light

One of the good signs of the times
is that in all departments of business
life the value of courtesy is being
emphasized, and even the railroad
companies are understanding that it
pays and they are constantly urging
their employees to substitute pleas
ant answers and manners for the
rudeness and brusqueness of which
the travelling public were so long the
helpless victims. And 1t is equally
important that public servants
should always be courteous to their
constituents even when, they may
seem to be unreasonable. All this
racket about the railroad commits
sion and the location of the depot
at Southern College seems to have
started from an abrupt If not dis
courteous reply by Commissioner
Hudson Burr to protest agains
the location. Pleasant words at that
time might have avoided all the
trouble. Machinery won't run prop
erly without oil on the bearings, an6
courtesy is the best lubricant to min
imize friction in the business as we'll

THEY ARE ALL COMING
TO LAKELAND SEPT. 8

The big State good roads conven-
ton which meets in this city on
Sept. 9, promises to be the most i'm
portant assemblage of the kind that
ever met in the State. There will
be a large representation here from
all parts of Florida from Jackson
vile south, and other sections of the
State may probably also send dele
gates. There will be full turnout
of good roads experts and enthusi-
asts, and this paramount question
will be discussed and illuminated in
way that should have much prac-
tical value. The whole State is
aroused on the subject of good roads
and many counties are actually get
ting the roads or preparing to do so
at an early date. But there is no
uniformity of method and no general
agreement as to the best material to
be used, and it is to be hoped thai
the Lakeland meeting will take such
steps as will coordinate the move
ment throughout the State and
adopt some concerted plan of action
looking to a uniform Statewide sys-
tenn of good roads of the same gen
oral type Oul State exchanges are
calling attention to the Importance
of the meeting here, as this, for

and enthusiasm have caused Pinellas

mean that string of twenty or

meeting. The first task which faces
the boosters is not that of getting
volunteers to make the trip for that
part is thought easy. AS the enthu.
siasm grows they feel sure there will
be plenty of boosters who will make
the trip.
But the big task Immediately
ahead is to stir up enough enthu.
siasm to cause local people to join
the association, simple little pro-
cess involving the writing of ones
name and parting with two dollars
as membership fee. The Importance
of having at least fifty members
from Pinellas county is to be point
ed out during the next few days by

are organizing themselves into
