MYSTERIES IN THE
NATION AND THE STATE

Oh, Mysteries, How much folly has
been perpetrated under thy spell,
Our country is at profound peace
with all the world, with not the
slightest prospect or probability of
attack from any quarter and yet the
nation is being nagged and prodded
into hysteria over military prepared
ness against a purely imaginary foe.
And here in Florida all is peace
and returning prosperity, with
abundant crops, glorious winter
season, tourists thick and every pros
pect bright, and yet the fever of
hysteria is rapidly rising in political
circles and threatening to bring tur-
MOL into every community. And
all because the State Democratic ex-
ecutive committee, in the plain dis
charge Of its legal duty, prescribed
the test of a Democrat in a Demo
cratic primary, and il was not pleas
ing to a faction seeking to draw
church lines in politics and bring
religious bigotry, intolerance and
war into the Democratic party Of
Florida.
Hysteria has been productive OF
many Of the disasters. large and

small, in human history, but with
the calm good sense, firmness and
courage of Woodrow Wilson at the
head of the nation, and the same
qualities in the State committee at
the head of the Democratic party in
Florida, there is reason to believe
that this needless attack of nerves
will subside and nation and State
will both recover their balance and
go on their sensible way as usual.
The obvious trouble with both is
a plain case of Mysteries, and in
Florida it is being deliberately en-
in the interest of the mad
lust of Office on the part Of minor
ity that can think of no other way
to make itself a majority.

upon the very qualities which have j,
made her successful in war. The |
two movements have gone hand in
hand. Either would have failed
without the other.
1--WE should at once begin govern
mental encouragement and control
of our munition plants. To make
war on them is to make war on the
United States; and those doing so
should be treated accordingly and
all who encourage them should be
treated accordingly. The existing
plants should be encouraged in every
Legitimate way, and provision made
to encourage this continuance after
the war. But it is most unfortun-
ate that they are situated as near
the seacoast The establishment of
munition plants further inland
should be in every way encouraged
and promoted. Pittsburgh is as far
east as any plant should by rights
be placed. This whole matter of
providing and regulating the output
of munitions is one in which Ger
many should especially stand as our
model.
LAS regards the navy, the i'm
portant point is to remember that
it should be built up now and not
ten years hence and not by a plan
that will only find fruition ten years
hence. Even five years hence may
be too late.
but l do not believe in a large
regular army. The proposed Con-

passed, it may for year or two
prove a partially successful rival to
the National Guard and attract some
young men. But serious-minded men
who have their way to make in the
world cannot and ought not go in
to any such army, which proposes to
penalize patriotism by making the
patriotic man incur heavy loss in
time, or in money, or in business

all four, at the very period of his
life when it is most essential that

THE CHURCH IN THE
ADVERTISING FIELD

One OF our exchanges, the Daily
Eagle, published in the lively little
city of Dothan, Ala, comes to us
carrying full page display adver
tisement of the Methodist church in
that city, with its spiritual advant-
ages and general religious assets
presented with all the skill of an ex-
pert ad writer. 1t is strange, and
almost startling departure from GUS
tom, but looked at in the clear light
of reason and legitimate methods,
there is nothing wrong about it and
1t is rather to be commended.
The Dothan Methodist minister
wants his pews filled on Sunday by
the general public as well as church
members, and, having an attraction
that should be of the deepest vital
interest to all people, he gets on the
progressive band wagon, takes his
cue from the modern, up-to-date
merchant and buys space in his home
paper to present his case. We take
the following set in big display type
from this unique advertisement:
Beginning this week, the LaFay-
cite Street Methodist church will un-
dertake to reach the people of Do
than who do not now attend church
and will use various means of ad-
vertising to interest every man,
woman or child in church work, and
in our church. especially. We want
the Methodist people in our part OF
this city to come over and help us
to make our church equal to the
great work we have to do. WE
NEED YOU AND WANT YOU. This
campaign of publicity has been in
augurated and is unanimously en-
dorsed by the board of stewards OF
Lafayette Street Methodist church
and is in line with modern methods
of advertising. WE WANT THE
PEOPLE TO COME TO CHURCH
AND WE WILL TELL THEM So"

TIDE OF TRAVEL SETTING
SOUTHWARK EARLY
Cincinnati EnQuirer.)

The tide of travel to the Southern
States has set in at least two weeks
earlier than usual, and the high
ways are lively with automobiles
fastening to Florida and the other
Gulf States, while the hegira by rail
transportation will exceed in num-
bers that of all prior years.
Scores of prominent men of the
North are already at the resorts of
Miami, Palm Beach, Ormond, St.
Augustine, Tampa and other Florida
points, while the gulf coasts of Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana are
being visited by hundreds of resi-
dents of the North, who are seeking
the bright sun and balmy breezes of
that region.
The good times which the year
1915 brought to financial, CONNER
cial, industrial and agricultural in
terests in the North have increased
by many thousands the number of
those who spent the winter in the
South heretofore.
The shutting off from Europe of
tourist travel, the closing of the
Panama canal, the fact that there is
no exposition on the Pacific coast, as
there was last year, and which was
a counter attraction to tourists, give
the Southern States, especially Flor
ida, the certainty of the most num-
erous tourist travel that has ever
been recorded.
1t is not only in and by the tour
list travel that the South will be a
great gamer this year, but by the
fact that the increase in prosperity
of tho people in the North, the
greater accumulation of cash by the
saving and Industrious, has placed
thousands of persons in position to
crafty their desires to own homes
in the South, and also has placed
millions of people in position to pur-
chase at their Northern homes the
products of the farms, the gardens
the richards and the groves of the
South. Citrus fruits, other fruits ant
vegetables produced in the Soutf
brought very low prices last year
and this was very largely owing tt
the depression in business through
out the North, and the fact that s,
many millions of persons were un
employed. 1t was lack of demand
from those who would have pur
chased if their incomes had permit
ted.
Now, with so many mills, factories
furnaces, shops and mines givin
steady employment to the idle mil
lions of last year, employment a
good wages, it means the purchas
| of scores of millions of dollar.
, worth of Southern products NOR
; than were bought last year.
: With the prevailing good time
among the masses of the people
all the sections of the Union, tn
products of the South will bring ia
greater prizes than in 1913 an
1914, and the demand will be NOR
than doubled in amounts.
For the next three months tn
South will be the scene of grea
profitable and healthy activities.

German Claim.

Berlin, June 5.-An authoritative
account Of the North Sea battle is
sued here gives the first detailed
picture of the progress Of the great
engagement between the German
high sea feet and that of the British.
Many details are suppressed for stra-
'texic reasons. The recital, how
ever, meets clearly what is character
lied as the British attempt to explain
defeat by the statement that the
German sea forces were much larger
than those which the British were
able to bring into play. -.
This account declares explicitly
that twenty-six Of Admiral Jellicoe's
most powerful battleships, including
six of the most modern Queen Eliza
beth class and the entire British fly
ing wing composed Of battle cruisers
equal in every respect except armor
protection: to dreadnaughts, were
engaged in all but the early stage OF
the day battle. " r.
Naval experts have minated to
the Associated Press that this was
one Of the most decisive factors in
the struggle. :,
