Clark Active in Interests of Peace
St. Augustine Record: 1t is
greatly to the credit of Congressman
Frank Clark of Florida that ne seized
an opportunity that occurred on Wed.
nesday last to present a series OF
strong and stirring resolutions that
have been submitted to the house com
mittee on foreign affairs. The first
of the series states that as peace
loving and democratic people, opposed
to oppression and welded to the idea
that every nation should be allowed
to work out it's own destiny without
molestation on the part of any other
nation, we declare an absolute and
strict neutrality. The next states the
horror with which we view the present
conflict and carnage, and our sincere
desire that it may soon be terminated
Then follows the most important, TO-
wards which the others led, and in it
the president is authorized and re.
quested to invite the rulers of neutral
countries to send delegates to great
peace conference to be in Washing
ton, D. c., at which there shall be de,
fined the rights of neutrals on the
seas, and strong effort made to
agree upon some practicable method
of bringing the war to an end; then
follows the authorization of the presi-
dent to appoint two representatives
of the United States and the appor-
tionment of a sum of $4,000 for ex-
penses. We repeat that it is to the
credit of Mr.. Clark that he should
present these resolutions, and we sin"
cerely hope that something will come
out of it that will really have d!
result in hasteing the cessation of not
only the present war, but of all war
fare.

The Power of Bryan's Personality

Lakeland telegram: The interest
which people feel in great man is
not controlled by their approval or
|disapproval of any particular doctrine
or policy which he may advocate.
They are drawn to him by the ire
sistible magnetism of personality SO
strong and masterful that it has
fought its way above the level of the
herd, conquered obstacles to which
weaker men have surrendered and
won the eminence to which we all
oive the instructive acknowledgement
due to the peak towering above the
range.
William Jennings Bryan has proba-
bly, been since 1896 the best abused
and the most admired man in Ameri-
ca, and all by virtue of the qualities
which have differentiated him from
the mass and set him apart as lead
err and a teacher whom all people
flock to hear. He has probably talk
ed to more men and women in his
public career than any other living
human being, and so large and deep
are the resources of his mind and
heart, so compelling the charm of his
personality, that the lure of him for
the average American is as potent as
ever and he still "draws" with but lit.
tie if any diminished power. This il
all tribute to that incompatible
thing called character, and of which
Mr.. Bryan is one Of the most con-
spicuous living instances.

Pastor Russell of Brooklyn, spirit
ual adviser of The Times-Union, and
the man who has abolished the old
fashioned hell of our forefathers, OF
at least scraped the greese from the
gang-plank leading thereto, lectured
in Jacksonville last Tuesday night
This old "pastor," who wears prophet
ic-like whiskers under his chin and is
claiming prophetic vision, is telling
the Times Union and other papers
that he can bamboozle with his syn
dicated religion, that for many year;
prior to the breaking out of the wal
in Europe, he had predicted that "a
time of intense trouble would come
upon the world in the autumn OF
1914" Well, it came, and now this
old bewhiskered prophet is claiming
all the credit. The News, for one
is willing he should have it.

Chairman Raney has finally con-

the State executive committee for the
purpose of re-considering the obnox-
ious resolutions passed at the Janu-
airy meeting of the committee, and
which define democrat as man
without religion or any society al
filiatiors. AS The News is one that
believes with William Jennings Bryan,
that it is possible to be Christian

hone the committee will cut out that
part of the resolutions which main
tain that he cannot. The committee
is to meet in Jacksonville, under the

Ex-Secretary Crooke of the Florlda
Anti-Saloon League, has entered the
life insurance business on the east
coast, with West Palm Beach as head
quarters. That Mr.. Crooke is pecu-
liarlv fitted for this work goes W
out saying. Any man who can STAN
pede a legislature into putting over
a half-pint liquor permit and labelling
it partial prohibition, can persuade
men to buy pledges that will Sc
cure his loved ones against the time
when he shall enter upon that "mys-
FERROUS relam from which no travel

Candidate Wood of st. Petersburg
who is making the race for Governor
on a platform which declares for the
adjustment of the fee system OF
paving county officials, won point
last week when the State Sherift's
Convention at Tampa voiced its grleV-
ance against this man who would re-
duce their compensation to a reason
able salary basis. The rank and file
of democrats in the state are with
Mr.. Wood in .n;s matter of doing
away with the Zee system, although
they may not be with Mr.. Wood in his
present personal ambition. Public
denunciation of Mr.. Wood on the
part of the sheriff's, thus calling at
tention of voters to the idea that the
present fee system is too much in the
nature of a sinecure to be meddled
with, will serve to make votes for the
gentleman who is working vigorously
against the fee system.

Gov. Park Trammell has a right to
feel elated in his victory over Chair

Trammell is a watchful executive; he

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube rc-
stored to it's normal condition. hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Chairman Raney yields to pressure
reluctantly, and has called another
meeting of the State Executive Com
mittee for the purpose of reconsider
ing the obnoxious resolutions adopted
at the January meeting Of the COM
mittee. But he rejects the Palatka
invitation and "does not believe that
the proposition to defray hotel bills
of committeeman warranted this city
being selected" Of course not; ii
would be out of the range of influ-
ence of the Jacksonville politicians
who "put over" those resolutions. Mr.
Raney need not be afraid of our dem
ocratic primaries being thrown open
to all, irrespective of party. The
State primary law provides for the
qualifications of participants, and
does it without giving offense to a
mans religious belief. If he is white
is registered as a democrat, and
agrees to support the nominees of
the party, he is permitted to par
ticipate. That was the case before
those resolutions were adopted, and
their adoption made no change in his
obligation.

success at the art. The proceeds
