that world peace is step in the evo-
luton of man and you are convinced
that the time is ripe to cease inter-
national strife. You know that no
one defends war: that no one looks
upon war, in itself. as desirable and
you cannot understand how men who
are Christians and who believe in the
fellowship of men, can countenance
the upbuilding of armies and navies
which are meant to destroy someone
else.
Who is to decide which of the
above men is right?
This fact is certain: There can be
no decision by men that will be final,
The time will never come when all
mankind will agree
And because all men cannot agree,
the practice of the ages has been for
the majority to rule. The majority
may be wrong-it often is7-but the
nation is safest when the majority is
ruling because the majority furnishes
most Of those who are to be ruled.
So in this nationwide debate on
the question ito prepare or not to pre-
pare" it is proper that both sides
should raise up their voices. 1t is
proper for the preparedness advocates
to point to history and call upon his
fellow men to heed the lessons of the
past 1t is likewise proper for the
peace advocate to set forth his side.
He is an idealist, but he might be
right. Idealists are not always wrong.
From the evidence as presented by
both. the majority will make decision
1t is then up to the minority to show
their true value as citizens If their
side is right, they will have faith in
its ultimate triumph, but in the mean.
time they must remember that the
majority rules.
The right of the other man to hold
his opinion is inviolate in a republic
Remember that.

STOCK GROWERS ASSOCIATION.

With everybody who took the cattle trip
planning to increase their stock farms and
develop them along the scientific lines they
saw demonstrated where cattle and success
are synonyms, the proposed formation of
the West Florida Stock Growers Assoc'a-
ton is probably more significant than tie
promoters themselves dreamed
According to present plans, a secretary
will be employed who knows the hog and
cattle business from A to Z, not only the
market end of the game, but the producing
end as well. This official will be the per-
manent teacher of every man in the organ
ilation, as we'll as their business agent. The
organization has been tentatively formed
plans will be perfected on September II,
at Magnolia.
But why shouldn't the organization go
still further? This plan will work-because
it has worked elsewhere; but why not adopt
another plan that has worked elsewhere?
For instance, the plan of those Gibson,
Tenn, farmers, in the success of whose
diversifcation and cattle development
plans, the banks had faith enough to lend
them SIS, 900 to bring in a carload of pure
bred cattle.
The cattle, sixty-fve head, including
bulls, bred heifers, and cows with calves,
were delivered at an average cost of $3.50,
and were distributed among the farmers of
the organization-not more than three to
each man. The owners then either paid for
the cattle or give long notes which
the banks were glad to accept at reduced
interest.
The bankers figured that by helping the
farmers to improve their stock, they were
not only getting interest on safe loans, but
they were also fostering an industry that
would develop the region and yield returns
seven-fold
If the Stock Growers Association can &C
complish a development along both these
lines for West Florida, history will give it
the immediate credit for the prosperity that
will descend upon this region like mama
