POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS
The Itinerary Begins

Inc Itinerary BEGINS
According to plan, the itineraries
arranged by the state committee have
started out to traverse the state from
one end to the other. The senatorial
outfit started from Fernandina and
will proceed down the peninsular,
reaching Orlando Thursday evening.
The gubernatorial coterie started at
Pensacola and viii meander through
West Florida and finally reach Or
lando the evening of May 26.
Because the state committee has
taken upon itself considerable trouble
and expense, and for the sake Of the
candidates, to say nothing of the well
fare of the state, it is desirable that
the speakers be given large and re-
spectful hearings. Nothing in the
form of a parrot and monkey time
is anticipated. There is no occasion
for it, and the time for such exhibit
tons has been relegated- admitting
that such did once exist. The story
which each candidate has to tell is al
ready an old story with him. 1t would
not be surprising If some of them APP
pear lackadaisical, though it is hoped
for the sake Of keeping up interest
that enough virility will be injected

The Old Dish Towel Arouses
The Wrath of Sanitary Experts

The dish cloth and the dish towel were
the very first points at which modern
domestic science teachers assaulted old
housekeeping methods Home sanitation
has been taught in schools, magazines and
newspapers for years and years, and still
the dirty dish cloth continues to awaken
the wrath of kitchen experts
Modern higher education in dishwash-
ing employs the practic eof the scientific
laboratory where glass and porcelain are
washed, rinsed in boiling water, and set
aside to drain. No cloth, no matter how
well sterilized, is allowed to touch them.
Since discarding dish cloths is one of the
best ways of simplifying kitchen work,
the wonder is that linen dish towels
should SO long remain among the most ex-
pensive of kitchen properties.

Bryan Means Well But He Is
Embarrassing the Administration

No one will agree more heartily with
Col. Bryan than the Journal that war with
Germany would be unspeakable." The
American people are unanifous for peace
consistent with honor, and the Washing
ton government has shown repeatedly its
belief that hostilities between the two ma
tons would be a crime against civilization.
But Mr.. Bryan, in cancelling speaking dates
in New Orleans and hurrying to Washing
ton with the announced intention of help
ing the president save the country, has sim
plv aggravated a situation already suffi-
GENTLY acute.
Mr. Bryan's opponents will no doubt
make capital of the fact that when he was
Secretary of State he spent his time on the
chautauqua circuit when he should have
been at work, seeking to solve the early
Mexican troubles; and that now, when he
is not Secretary of State, he is breaking
lecture dates to NEEDLE in affairs appertain-
ing to trusted and competent official Of
the United States Government.
No one who understands Mr.. Bryan's
sincerity of purpose, however, will give
such an interpretation of his conduct ser
ious consideration. At the same time, his
warmest admirers can not fail to see that
his present journey to Washington is i'll
timed, and one that is seriously embarras-
sing the administration.
To Mr.. Bryan's early opposition to the
presidents policy, followed by his sensa-
tional resignation rather than sign an eff
fective protest against the submarine mas
sacre of American men, women and chill
dren, is VIGOROUSLY due the fact that our
negotiations with Germany have been so
hum1liating to the United States. For
months Germany believed that the Ameri-
can people were not back of the president
an impression which has only been renov-
ed by the recent congressional action. Had
Germany recognized earlier that Mr.. Bryan
is unanimously without backing on this is
sue; had Germany never been enabled to
/ question the loyalty of the American peo-
pie in all matters of national crisis, regard
less of private opinion; had Germany re-
celved an ultimatum in the first place as
unmistakable as the one that has Just gone
| forward, instead of one weakened by GOV
ernmental dissension and academic recrin1-
nation, it is extremely doubtful if affairs
today would have such an ominous look.
An early disavowal Of any political sie-
nificance of his visit to Washington will be
Mr.. Bryan's best contribution towards the
peace which he so ardently desires. The
American people are back Of their presi-
dent to man; and they understand now
the age-old bit of philosophy to prepare for
war in time of peace. A determined re-
sistance to Germany's submarine murder
Of American citizens may yet avert hos
tilities But if Germany, in order to ascer-
tain public sentiment here, decides to sink
few more ships before replying to our
note; if Germany has been enormously led
to believe that the United States is divided
we may have to fight to prove that we are
