The San Francisco New Age Of
July 18th, 1875, contained the follow
ing editorial which in the light Of
subsequent events, cam be consider
ed as somewhat in the nature of pro
phecy. 1t shows that the menace o.
militarism was felt, even in that day
Large standing armies are a
direct cause of war. Europe is
now in state of peace, but
there are over 100000 men un
der arms-a standing menace to
the lives, the property and the
highest interests of the entire
people. Any three of the great
Powers of the world could by.
combination force all other ma
tions to abandon war and sub
nit all matters of difference tc
peaceful arbitration.
"This will yet be done. An in
ternational conference is to be
held at The Hague in September
which it is hoped will result in
something tending to this result.
at lis probable, however, that
the worm will have to become
surfeited with blood first by one
great conflict"

certed effort on the part of the
thoughtful Democrats of the State to
induce good men to run for the Leg
Iislature will bear excellent results.
About the most effective way to in
'fluence such men to make the sacri-
flee is to point out to them the very
important questions that must be de
cided at the next session and to i'm
press upon them that their duty to
their State demands their service in
the solution of these momentous is
sues. The proper solution of great
State problems ought to furnish suf-
ficient inspiration to bring out some
of our best material. 1t is really
a call to patriotism and the good cit
zen should place the welfare of his
State above the personal feeling that
dissuades him from the step.
The Tribune hopes that all the
newspapers of the State will get to-
gether in the effort to make the next
Legislature the best one that has ev-
err been elected in Florida. Each
paper may create sentiment in its
own community and county and we
believe the results will be vastly ben
eficial.

Orlando Reporter-Star: The fan
closes tonight, and it is agreed among
those who have watched the growth
of the fair in Orlando that the event
of 1916 was the greatest vet. In
the line of progress this is lust as il
should be. but it does not ALWAYS
hapren that things meet expectations.
s. many persons have contributed ia
the success of the fair that it would
be well nigh impossible to make IN
a list of all who deserve mention. 81
the most appropriate way of includ-
ing al in the list of immortals is
to designate the officials of the fair
association to represent not only the
organization but the working forces
as well, and indite our paean of praise
to Pres. Seth Woodruff, ct al. The
Reporter-Star wishes to acknowledge
thanks to A. D. James, publicity
agent for valuable assistance in Gov
ering' the fair. and to c. f. How
ard, who preceded Mr.. James. fo~
much Advance matter. The enter
prise has been characterized bv an
unusual spirit of cooneration among
the workers, and to this must no az
trlhuted no small part of the snccess

Semi-Tropic Florida, the Develop
ment Year Book issued annually by
the Tampa Morning Tribune, made
it's appearance this week and is big
ger and better than ever. 1t is {
magazine of 145 pages filled with in
formation and illustrations concern
ing central and south Florida, anC
being a work of art should have the
great circulation which it is bound
to get through the efforts of the
Tribune. 1t has taken time and a lot
of money to secure the material for
this magazine SO much time and
that it is doubtful if the pub
fishers ever get a half of it's cost
back, but they have the satisfaction
of having performed an immens ,
of good for those sections
of Florida represented. No other
Florida newspaper would dare under
take the gigantic job which the Tri-
Dune Company has accomplished III
his book.

The United States is alrea ! MAX
ing annual appropriations Of about
S25O,OO0,OOO for the army and navy
Mr.. Bryan seems to think this
enough. He is simply opposed to in
creasing this appropriation to $780,
100000, or to $75O,OOO,OOO per an
mum, as advocated by the Security
League and the Navy League, re-
spectively. Mr.. Bryan seems to
think that if we prepare for war we
will be disappointed if it doesn't
come though we will do our full
share in bringing it about; that if
it doesn't come we will have all our
expense for nothing, and that if j.
does come we will find, because of the
costant improvements being made in
ship and fighting machines, that we
will have a larger amount of junk on
hand at the opening than we can well
afford.

WHO STARTED THE
EUROPEAN RUMPUS?
Teddy Told Kaiser Bill ne
Had Best Army in the
World.

An Associated Press dispatch from
New York on Wednesday says:
As to the cause of the war, the
Army and Navy Journal tells the fol
lowing story as having been related
| in a debate before the City Club OF
| Hartford, Conn:
"Who caused the war? That is a
long story. Richard Harding Davis
went to Europe to find out-that was
his business as reporter. He went
into Buckingham palace and said:
"'Now, George, on the level, as be-
tween two friends, who caused this
rumpus?'
"Ah well-T don't know; you go
and ask Nick
$50 Davis went to Petrograd and
said:
"Now, Nick who was it?' and
Nick said 4 don't know; you better
go and ask Bill So he went to Ber-
lin, slapped Bill on the back and said:
Bill old chap, who was it?'
"'Teddyv
"Teddy?'
"Yes. After he got through be-
ing president, he went to Africa to
hunt for a while; then he went to
Stockholm to get peace prize and
then he came over here and we fixed
up sham battle for him. When the
battle was over he said to me: Bill,
that's a bully army you've got; you
can lick any army in the world
Now, how was l to know that he was
a liar?'"

Good Legislators

Tampa Tribune: This year, the
neople of Florida will elect a new
House of Representatives and about
half of the members of the Senate, to
compose the Legislature of 1917.
1t is highly important that good Sc
lections be made for these offices.
The Job of member of the Legisla-
ture is usually a thankless one and.
for this reason, it is exceedingly diff
ficult to persuade men of large af-
fairs to stand for election. Some
very able men have been sent to the
Florida Legislature and they have
generally come out of it with deter
mination never again to subject them
selves to the pains and penalties Of
the ardous task. That these able
men have usually heen a small minor
ity and thus unable to carry through
important legislative reforms makes
the position all the more unsatisfac-
torv.

Camphor Trees as Mosquito Exter
minatOrs-

Pensacola Journal: In making 8
campaign against mosquitoes in Pen
sacola, the fact may well be borne Ii
mind that, while it is Of the utmost
Importance that the breeding places
of the mosquitoes be destroyed, there
are others means at hand which viii!
help render the mosquito less a men
ace to summer comfort.
1t is claimed by many who have
these trees planted on their grounds
and surrounding their premises, that
the camphor tree is an eXterminator
of mosquitoes, insofar as the effect
it has of freeing from these ins ects
the neighborhood in which these trees
are planted.
Each year sees an increasing num-
Der of these trees planted in Pensaco-
la, and if it be true, and the fact
seems to be well established, that the
mosquitoes will not remain in the Vi
cinity of the camphor tree, there is
every reason to increase the number
planted to very large extent.
The camphor tree is one of the
most symmetrical, cleanest, most
beautiful trees grown in Florida, and
those interested in mosquito eXtermi-
nation might find in its planting a
practical way to reach some good re-
suits.

sioners and they would run the city,
under the proposed charter. They
might run it to suit you, and then
again they might not. If they did
not, you could kick, but that is all
you could do. The commissioners
would still run it. There is no pro-
vision for recall of councilmen or
commissioners.
The council, under the proposed
charter, would have power to grant
franchises, all in one night. Under
the present form they must be laid
over between readings so that the
people can discuss them for several
weeks before final passage. Every
ordinance" says the proposed char
ter, "shall be read by sections at
three several meetings." These three
SEVERAL MEETINGS could all be
held in one night. That's some diff
ferent than THREE REGULAR
MEETINGS.
The demand of the times is for a
system of government that shall.
come nearer to the people. The pro-
posed charter would take their gov
eminent further from the people of
Palatka.
Thoughtful men who have studied
the proposed charter are pretty gen.
orally united in the opinion that
while the city might be run smooth
ly and honestly under it, that it Of
fers too many temptations for the ar
litrary abuse of power, and that the
people would have no redress until it
was everlastingly too late.
There is but one safe recommends
tion open to The News, and that is
that the people of Palatka keep the
limited powers they now have. By
adopting the proposed charter they
would delegate these powers, and
their delegates would re-delegate
them to an arbitrary board of Com
missioners who could, if so minded,
tell you to Ego chase yourself"
There is no need, however, for the
people to worry; all they NEED TO
DO is VOTE. These votes will do
The rest.
Public sentiment has already DOOM
ed the charter But public sentiment
mas no other form of expression in
a matter of this kind except that al
forded by the voting booth.
News would not be understood
as caSting any reflections on the men
who constructed the charter; the
chances are they now sec it's faults
as well as you. Had these been
pointed out before the work was fin
ished, it is possible they might have
been rcmcdied and great expense
saved the city.
