"A GOOD MAN"

A good man, according to APPROX
ed standards, needs not at all be a
remarkable man. He may be very
quiet man and go through life with
out much noise. But he has certain
virtues which give him a higher
value than many who in a superficial
way are greatly above him.
He is an honorable man. He tells
! the truth. His word is gooG and if
he has promised anything he keeps
/ it. He deceives no one, even though
| he could do so to his advantage and
without discovery. He does not try
to get what belongs to others and he
| tries to do justice to every person.
| He endeavors to judge every person
and every nation in just manner
and give credit for real value, but no
more. He is not a hypocrite, is not
a time server, insinuating or schem-
ing. He does not side with any
man just because such man has in
fluence, and does not advocate a
measure simply because it is fashion
able to do SO. He is not afraid to
have his own opinion and to let it
be known. He does not fall for
either gold or flattery. He minds
his own business and does not villify
others. He is not cranky, arrogant
or selfish. nor closefisted or unmerci-
full. He knows that he has faults
and weaknesses and, therefore, he
is reasonable in his expectations
from others. He can forgive and
forget.
Such are the characteristics of a
good man-and good woma, to,
of course. No shining or imposing
properties put his stamp on him or
her. They are, one, would think,
virtues which should be expected
from every person. Yet a good man
or a good woman is not such COM
mon occurrence. This is a sad but
a true fact.-Bradford County Tele-
graph.

GREAT BRITAIN'S UNPAR.
ALLELED WAR BUDGET
New York World)

Breat Britain's budget for the
coming year-the greatest in the
worlds history-is marvellous
demonstration of national wealth.
With a national debt that has ris-
en- from 1925, 100000 before the
war to sl0,700, 100000 on March
81, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
forsees expenditures of S9,l25, O00,-
600 during the next twelve months.
Out of current taxes are to be paid
not only the ordinary expenses of
government but interest and sinking
fund of the immense debt. Even
part of the cost of war, nor near
ly S25, 100000 a day, is to be met by
the taxpayers under the rigorous
system of imposts on consumption
and incomes.
The British policy. unlike that fol-
lowed in Berlin, does not seek to re-
lieve taxpayers by saddlins upon the
next generation all the financial bur-
dens of the war.
To add 325,O0O,00O to the rev
enue it is necessary to levy on the
peoples food, their amusements.
their railroad tickets, their pleasures
and business. Income taxes are in
creased up to - per cent Of tho in
come. Tax on war profits is increas-
ed from so to 60 per cent, so that
what the government pays in large
part it RECEIVERS.
in this war Great Britain has Of
fered itself as the banker of the al
lies. 1t has already loaned to them
and the British dominions nearly
$4,000, 100000, and its plans for the
next twelve months include further
advances of $2.25O, 900, 900. Yet
British resources are so vast that
with all its war loans and taxes its
national credit today is far better
than that of any other nation at
war. yN

The Fighting
At Verdun

The fighting around Verdun ha:
now continued more than seven
weeks, and. while it is plain enough
that the Germans have not won a
smashing victory, it cannot be said
that they, as yet, show any indica-
ton of abandoning their enterprise.
The fighting at Verdun is divided
by the experts into three stages,
the first two lasting ten days each
and the third still continuing after
more than twenty days of effort. At
the beginning of the first stage the
German artillery was used to de-
molish the French trenches and a
series of attempts were then made
to rush the French positions with in
fantry. The German line was ad-
vanced ten miles along a front of ex-
actly the same amount. The losses
to the attacking side were enormous;
the gains seemed insufficient to
justify such losses.
The second stage at Verdun con-
sisted of series of attempts to
find a place to break through the
French line. The point of attack
was repeatedly shifted. Slight gains
were made here and there, and these
were recovered by the French. At
no time during this period were
frontal attacks by infantry made
upon the same scale as in the first
period.
The third stage of the Verdun
lighting differs from what has gone
before in that it appears to be an
attempt advance along the whole
front and chiefly by artillery fire
A correspondent of the New York
Times, now with the army of the
Crown Prince, telegraphs ito that
paper under date of March 81, his
beginning as follows
THE German artillery is eating
into Verdun like cancer, slow but
fatal This was the impressi of
a morning spent in the thick of the
mightiest aggreo alton of heavy NOR
tar batteries and cannon, studying
at leisure the creeping advance of |
the German troops
The same correspondent AYERS !
that the German general staff is in
no way disheartened by what has |
taken place at Verdun; that the |
German officers make no predictions
as TO how many more weeks of
pounding will be necessary to dis !,
lodge the French troops from their
entertainments, but that they do con-
tend that steady progress is being
made, and that, in the end, Verdun
will be taken and the whole French
line "demoralized,
The French, on the other hand,
claim, and evidently believe, that
hey have the situation we'll in hand.
Their con fdence in their ability to
hold the point is proven by the fact
that they are making no request on
he British commanders for support.
Verdun will be held by the French,
10 the French officers say, and Ger

movement is under way among liq-
uor dealers in Manitoba, which voteu

month, to petition the government

dispose of stock on hand Should

eve have been with you for two
score years, and another 60 days
, will matter little, is the plea of the
liquor dealers
| On the other hand, the prohibition
leaders hotly protest against any ex-
tension of time. They point to the
fact that more than three-fourths of
Canadian territory already has voted
out saloons and confidently predicts
that before the new year Quebec
alone among the provinces will re-
tain the liquor licensing system and
that even here licensing will be re-
stricted to Montreal, Quebec and a
number of large urban centers.
The possibility of the Dominion
government passing rigid prohibit
tion measures has made large liquor
dealers in Quebec as well as in other
sections uneasy, it is said. Several
measures pertaining principally to
| the shipment of spirits from wet
to dry territory now are before par
| lament.
On September Is, Ontario, for
years considered the stronghold of
the Canadian liquor interests, will
go dry by direct legislation, which
will continue effective until after
the war. Licenses will be extended
from May |, until September upon
payment of nominal fee. After the
war, and considerable time after
the return of the soldiers, a referen-
DUN will be taken. In the mean
time, the law will not interfere with
importation of liquor for private
consumption, but will provide ex-
tremely heavy fines for violations of
| the regulations stipulated.
The 500 licenses in Alberta pro-
Win ,r.in H., I,,l
and the sale of liquor henceforth
prohibited.
Saskatchewan province now has
one of the most stringent curtail-
ment laws, all liquor traffic being
controlled by the provincial govern
ment. No person may use liquor
except in his own home.
Nova Scotia entered the prohibit
tion ranks March 10, 1916, by a
legislative vote.
In New Brunswick, nine of the
fourteen counties are dry.
\ local option law in Quebec,
passed befor confederation and
which now covers about 500 parishes
or approximately two-thirds of the
province, is in effect. Except in
large cities there are practically no
licensed bars.
Total prohibition has been adopt
ed by Newfoundland. the island
colony, abolishing sale, manufacture,
importation and transportation OF
liquor.
In the northwest territories the
sale of liquor is regulated by the
dominion license law.
Early in the summer railroads are
expected to discontinue sale of liquor
on dining cars because OF the great
stretch Of dry territory in the west.

are ever working for the betterment
of their own section first and for
the State of Florida all the time, and
therefore they are always busy and
hence happy.
The trip from Deer Park to ST.
Cloud was not without many inter
esting incidents, but space forbids
that we go into detail. The road is
common country road and at
places it crosses sloughs, one of them
called the Slough of Despond" in
wet weather, but the editors are all
Baptists, at least they are not afraid
of wet places, and the sloughs were
negotiated without a bit of trouble.
Arriving in St. Cloud they went to
the New st, Cloud Hotel. where Mr..
Geo. Lehker, the proprietor, had pre-
pared a good supper for them, and
which was thoroughly enjoyed. A
number of St. Cloud people joined
the editors at supper. for Mr. Lehker
had enough and to spare of the good
things to eat.
After supper the editors went on
to Kissimmee, where they will hold
their convention today, and where
editors from all over the state had
arrived.
This afternoon at about O'Clock
a long train of autos will come from
Kissimmee, bringing a hundred or
more editors, arrangements for en-
tertaining them having been made
by the Ladies Improvement Club,
the veterans and the citizens of St
Cloud, after which they will go back
to Kissimmee for some other big
doings tonight.
Friday night will be the star per-
formance-the editors will stick
their feet under a big banquet table
at the Graystone Hotel in Kissimmee
and show the people that they are as
strong on the eating subject as they
are on political subjects-which is
some strong.
When these editors return to their
respective homes they will all tell
their people of How they were en-
.tertained in the Wonder City" and
the thousand and one good things |
about st. Cloud will be blazoned to
the world that he who runs may

Truly, the pen is mightier than
the sword. The editors WELD the
pen, and it is up to us to WELD the
editors so that they can only say
good things about us.
The doors of St. Cloud are thrown |
open to the editors of Florida. May |
they all be made to feel this fact.
And remember the automobile |
owners of St. Cloud get a vote of
thanks for so willingly donating
their cars for the trip.
Included in the delegation of st. |
Cloudites who drove over to Deer
Park to escort the editors back were
a doctor and two undertakers, a san
itary inspector and butcher, to say
nothing of the mayor, chief of police
and the editor of the Tribune.
