Germany seems long on promises,
but trifle short in fulfillment. An

Sussex and many on board to Davy
Jones locker, for which Germany is
willing to disavow the act, punish
the commander of the submarine, and
show the United States that the act
was in violation of instructions. Ger

Those Armor- making "Patriots"

Tampa Times: Wednesday news
from Washington announced that
when the house naval committee re-
ceived the Tillman bill providing for
establishing an armor plate plant,
which passed the senate late Tues
day. a proposal came in from the
Bethlehem Steel company to cut the
price of armor plate from S425 tc
1895 a ton.
President Grace, who submitted the
report for the company, repeated his
statement that if the government
erected a plant private works worth
S20,000,000 would be made useless.
This declaration, considered in con-
nection with the recently made threat
of the steel magnates to increase the
price of armor plate 5000 a ton in
case the government erected one or
more manufacturing plants, makes 1t
evident that these patriots" for once
failed TO work the great game of bluff
on Uncle Sam, who is something of
poker player when "sittin' in" with
real men. In this game he was for
tunate in being backed by such men
as "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman of South
Carolina, a real patriot, and from
now on he will buy or manufacture
armor plate at less than highway

Bryan For Wilson
Tampa Times: Beginning with his
resignation as secretary of state
newspapers generally have labored
under the belief that William Jen-
nings Bryan would oppose President
Wilson for denomination, and have
repeatedly claimed that the Nebras-
kan was doing everything in his pow
er to weaken the cause of the presi-
dent.
Although we did not approve of
Mr.. Bryan's act, which was embar-
RAISING to the administration, we were
of the opinion that conscience direct
ed him and that he was working for
the best interests of the country as
he saw them. Nor did we think he
would take an undue advantage of
President Wilson in the presidential
campaign, and our opinion is
strengthened by this frank statement
recently made by Mr.. Bryan:
81 am candidate for delegate at
large to that convention" said Mr..
Bryan, "but if any of my friends who
have suddenly become friends Of
Woodrow Wilson can serve him bet
ter than myself, let them send some
one else to the convention.
'If Woodrow Wilson owes me any
thing he has more than paid it back
by giving himself to the nation as
president instead of Roosevelt"
1t is natural that the Great Com
moner should wish to be president Of
the United States, and millions regret
that the honor has not been conferred |
upon him. These adherents, however |
nave long REALIZED that he was infin-
tely more of a patriot than polti
,ian, and his present attitude toward |
The president proves that their esti-
nate Of the man is a correct one.

nominated at Chicago in 1896. and if

PALATKA'S
GREATEST NEED.

Thoughtful business men who at
tended the recent banquet Of the Pa.
latka board of trade, were made tC
blush in shame once more over the
city's delinquency in the matter of Il
public school building.
The matter was brought to their
attention not in carping, hypercriti-
cal manner by one determined to find
fault, but in the kindly manner of one
who has a pride in our welfare and a
desire to see the city wake to a reali-
zation Of its most crying need.
Mr.. James R. Mellon, the gentle
man who called our attention to the
defect. is not a fault-finder, and
neither is he man given to ''gush,"
but just a plain, patriotic American
who has shown his interest in Palat-
ka by keeping winter home here for
35 years, and by words Of encourage
ment and frequent generosities, help
ing to push the city somewhat to-
ward that prominence among the ci-
ties of the State to which its advant-
ages of situation entitle it.
Mr.. Mellon is one of Pittsburg's
most honored citizens, a man whose
great wealth has not operated to re-
move him one iota from sympathet-
ic touch with all true Americans who
would see every part of their country
develop, and especially those parts Of
it to which they have been attracted |
and which of necessity come under
their closer observation. That he
loves Palatka and would see it pros
per is apparent to anyone who talks !
with him long He has a pride in
our development such as could only
come to be part of one who has seer
the city develop from village Of
shacks to a city of pretty business
and public buildings, private homes
and well-kept lawns, paved streets
and an air of general up-to-dateness
that is truly marvelous-eXcept in the
one particular of an adequate public
school building.
Yes, those present at the banquet
listened to and acknowledged their de-
reelection in all that Mr.. Mellon said
1t was apparent in the address of Mr.
Yelverton and others who have been
foremost in the later development Of
the city. They felt sense of shame.
rot in their own dcreliction, but in
their inability to arouse the public to
a point where it would see that there
can be no greater Palatka until there
is adequate equipment for the educa- ,
ton of the rising generation of Pa ,
latkans. 7
We have blushed with shame at our !
one great municipal defect. But
what we need is not more bushes, but :
such action as will remove the neces-
sity for bushes. =
Let us get busy right now and pro-
vide Palatka with school that will
place it in the first rank of Florida :
