Can't Help Liking Him

Mr.. J. H. Smithwick, of Pensacola,
announces in this issue for congress.
Mr.. Smithwick seems to be very
strong over the district, and will no
doubt be one of the leading candi-
dates in the race, especially if he
takes his bunch of hound dogs and
get out among the 'boys." You just
can't help but like hin.-Bristol Free

AS a national committeeman for
Florida is to be chosen in the coming
primary, The Herald rises to nominate
Hon. Cromwell Gibbons of Jackson
vile as in all respects worthy and
we'll qualified. The position is simply
an honor, to which is attached no pay,
but it entails considerable personal
expense upon the honoree. For many
years, Col. Gibbons has been an active

which assuredly ought to give him
this small recognition.-Panta Gorda

Cling TO Character.

Let me repeat it: Cling only in
your love of traditions to those that
spell character, courage, chivalry. The
names in the Naval Hall of Fame that
are writ largest are those of the men
who made their own traditions. They
had indeed been inspired by the spirit
of famous commanders. but had not
thought that emulation called for imi-
tation. How often tradition becomes a
leave the letter of tradition, lose it's
spirit and its life. John Paul Jones
made his own traditions. 1t is true he
had not been inspired by the spirit of
the great sailors who had won victo-
ries. He found that they were ami
mated by the achievements of men
who conquered the waves. Jones
grappled with and boarded the Scraps.
That was not traditional. 1t was dar-
ing and desperate, but the only posi-
BILE chance for victory. And every ma
val hero has refused to fight the battle
of today with the weapons of yester-
day or to let tradition hamper his
free action.
Getting ready is accelerated by
catching the spirit of the best tradi-
tions of the service. There is, per-
haps, no tradition that is more revered
than that of loyalty in spirit as we'll
indeed 1t is the basis upon which
honorable military service rests. What
is loyalty and what are the fruits of
loyalty? | have found these questions
answered nowhere so succinctly and
clearly as in an address delivered in
in 1912 to the graduates of West Point
by Col. George w. Cocktails, whose
Panama Canal gives him lasting fame.
He thus defined it-and it applies to
the Navy just as in the Army:
1T is the professed primary
object of this institution to devel-
OPP that high quality which we call
character. 1t finds expression in
the Academy's motto-'Duty, Hon.
or, Country Briefly summed up,
it means honorable conduct in all
actions and in all dealings with
ones fellows. The basis if it is
loyalty-loyalty to those funda-
ment- moral principles upon which
all right conduct is based, loyalty
to the profession of which one is
member. loyalty to superiors, and
loyalty to the nation in whose
service we are all enlisted.
There is no real success with
out this quality. The man who
is disloyal to his profession, to his
superior, or to his country. is dis
loyal to himself and to all that is
best in him. He is his own worst
envy, for he understands his
own character, and thus deprives
his efforts of that incentive which
is the most powerful of all factors.
We all have a right to our own
views. and opinions, and in most
cases which arise we have a right
to express them. When the decis-
ion Is against us, instead of shirk-
ing, giving lukewarm support, or

President Wilson's Remarks.
He said:

He said:
Il am not on the program toady to
deliver an address, but as | sit here and
look into the faces of you young men.
| cannot help but feel that it is nv
duty to congratulate you. l cannot
but admire the record you have made
and the manner in which you have re-
sponded to the call of duty.
You were all at Washington three
years ago and saw me get into trouble
and now | am here watching YOU get
yourselves into trouble. One thing is
different, however; your trouble will
probably last longer than mine. but
even so. | hope it will be just as
enjoyable.
You know l have spent the greater
part of my life among college boys.
SO, when some of you men down here
would do something a little wrong
which merited punishment, your
friends would come to me and ask me
to be ienient, saying You know how it
is with college boys have always re-
piled, Yes, sir, know college BOYS.
but these are not exactly college boys;
they are the future officers of the
United States Navy. If they were
merely college boys,we could look with
