Walton COunty's Opportunity
Quite a number of Florida newspa-
permen are now running for Office,
and their election means a great deal
to the state. They know the needs
OF the commonwealth, how to fight
for those needs, and they stand for
the public good and not for personal
profit and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. One of
the most pleasing announcements we
have seen is that Of R. w. Storrs,
editor of the DeFuniak Springs
Breeze, who will run for the state
senate in the district In which Wal
ton county is included.
Mr.. Storrs Is not only a brilliant
editor, but more-he is a man of
practical business ability, and one
who is always working for the public
good. Through the promotion of fairs
in Tampa and Jacksonville, he has
worked necessarily for the purpose of
advertising and developing northwest
Florida, and is a pioneer champion
of the cattle-raising industry. Wal
ton countyites, here's your chance

All of One Nation
And One Flag


The German note criticizes the United
States and alleges discrimination in de-
mands in favor of Great Britain. 1t does
not admit doubt that its naval orders have
been executed in good faith. It questions
the humanity of America While no de-
cision will be attempted until the official
text is received, there is grave aPprehen-
sion in official circles in Washington, and
a break with Germany seems almost inevi-
table.
The United States has talked war and
preparedness and peace and unprepared-
ness. and now this country has reached a
crisis in its affairs and is facing situation
which bring US to the very brink OF hos
tilities.
Tt has been only through the sanity and
the wisdom of Wilson that peace has SO
long been maintained. Now that this coun-
try faces war, President Wilson has the
backing of the nation, as no other Presi-
dent has ever had in the hour OF such
crisis The sentiment of the people IS tor
peace with honor, but not with dlshonor
The United States does not seek war with
Germany, but should war come, the patriot
ism of America as whole is unquest1oned
Having passed through an admin1stra-
ton which has been the most tumultuous
of any in the history of the nation, having
been attacked, ridiculed and mlsrepresenF E
ed. President Wilson stands today the fore
most man of his time. The attacks have
failed to hurt him with the great mass OF
Americans, the shafts of ridicule have not
pierced the armor of his integrity, and the
misrepresentation have reacted upon his
enemies. Today he has the love ind re-
spect of the American people, and such
confidence of the masses as few men of any
nation have ever had in such troublors
times.
The American people are with President
Wilson in his preparedness program. But
it must be remembered that that prepared
ness program has always meant the pos
sibility of war Not necessarily war, but
very probably war.
Should war be declared today, or tonlor-
row or the next day, the American people
must stand by the president, must face the
situation, must uphold the American honor
of which we have boosted.
War is not all pageantry, nor glory. Il
is sordid and terrible and revolving The
soldiers in Mexico are worn with the CAM
paign, the soldiers of Great Britain, and OF
France and of Russia and of Belgium and
their enemies, the Germans, are sick with
the lust of battle
If it should be that this country is plung-
ed in war, the fortunes here and there must
be much the same. It behooves the peo-
pie of this country, then, to stand together
in this great crisis, remembering that it
matters not of what nation they lave
sprung, that here and now they are Ameri-
can citizens, and that their allegiance
should and must be given to this country
our country, their country-that we are
one nation, whether German, or English
French, Russian, Italian or of whatever
country, today under the Stars and Stripes
which have given US protection, we must
stand together for the honor of the nation
and the salvation of humanity

Costly Advertising

COstiy Advertising
In his Gainesville speech, Superin-
tendent Sheats stated that he had
not been willing to sell out to any
outside interest; that if he had he
would not have had opposition. This
is undoubtedly true. The very best
proof that the book trust can't con-
troll Sheats is the fact that he is be-
ing bombarded with an advertising
campaign which viii easily run into
thousands of dollars. Automobiles
loaded with Kelley literature are run
ming over the state and men are man
ming these machines, so that the state
will be plastered from one end to
the other with Kelley advertising. All
of this takes money in large sums,
far in excess of what the law allows.

BILL
 PASSES COMMONS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Jan. 24-The military service bill passed the third reading in the house of commons tonight by a vote of 3S3 to S6
 The bill was immediately sent to the house of lords and given it's first read ing. The second reading will be taken in the house of lords Wednesday and parliament probably will be prQrogued Friday
 The fact that the minority against the bill was unconstitutiOnally only a third of that on it's first reading is considered a great triumph for Pre- mior Asquith and for Andrew Bonar- Law. who directed it's course, and all though tOni9ht's debate showed that many labor members are still suspici- ous, there is no doubt that general op- position to the measures has dimin- ished enormously since it's introduce tion and that the feeling of the coun- try is strongly with the government.
 MT. BonarLaW in his speech wind inS up the debate, remarked on the wonderful change since the first read ing of the bill. which he said was a compromise between those who thought that it went not far enough and those wnO believed it went too far

 Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the republican national committee, ex- pressed the sentiment of the party leaders when he said nobody knew
 who would be nominated, but that the candidate would be born of the con- vention."
 At noon the committee was enter tained by the Hamilton club at a luncheon at which Chairman Hilles de- livered an address in which he criti- cised the administration of President
 Wilson, outlined features and issues of the republican national campaign and predicted victory for the party lneXt November.

FLOOD DANGER

 T0 HAVE PASSED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

YUMA, Ariz., Jan. 24-Flood dan gers in Yuma and the Yuma Valley had passed it was believed, tonight. The Colorado river had reccded to the 22-foot stage late today and it was thought the flow would be normal to- morrow.
 The rise in the Colorado at Needles 300 miles north of here, was expected to reach Yuma tomorrow, but this caused no apprehension, as it was thought it would not be sufficient to bring the river near flood stage again.
 Reports from the lower end of the Yuma Valley indicated that that sec tion was untouched by the flood waters.
 Work of clearing away the debris was begun today after the flood waters had receded from the business sec tion of Yuma
 The greatest menace now, appar- eHtly, is fear of the collapse of sev- eral large buildings. The Gondalfo hotel has been condemned as unsafe. The foundations of several stores ap- pear to be settling.
 The body of Mayor Charles C. Moore who died of heart failure dur ing the excitement soon after the levees gave way, was taken to Elks' hall. It was viewed by hundreds of residents. Funeral arrangements will not be completed until after the ar rival of relatives from other cities
 Reports from the Imperial Valley in, Iso was falling there and it was believed there was no likelihood of damage to the irrigation project in that section
 Anxiety over the flood situation was renewed here tonight when the Col Orado river began rising again The stream rose to the 25 foot stage in a short time and continued to rise. Earlier in the day it had receded to the 22-foot stage. No serious damage was feared unless the river rose above the 29-foot stage.
 Workmen directed by representa- tives of the United States reclamation service were hurriedly repairing the breaks in the levee here and at Araz station to prevent Yuma Valley and the Bard unit of the Indian reserva- tion being flooded a second time Reports from Needles, 300 miles north of Yuma, stated the river was s feet s inches above normal at that point.
 The local relief committee was busy supplying food and clothing and other wise caring for the 1000 homeless here.
