FLORIDA: SAHARA STATE.

That the Florida legislature would
adopt bone-dry resolution, was fore
gene conclusion; but it is doubtful if any
body expected it to. be passed SO promptly
or SO Overwhelmingly The bill, which had
already passed the house by 67-5 vote,
was accepted by the senate Tuesday morn
ing with only three dissenting voices.
Article XIX, Section l, of the Constitu-
ton, following bone-dry legislation of 9th
er states, is as follows:
Article XIX, Section 1. The manufacture. sale,
barter exchange all alcoholic intoxicating
liquors and beverages. whether spurious vinous,
malt. hereby forever prohibited in the state Of
Florida, except alcohol for medical scientific
chancaI and wine for saeramental purposes the sale
which alcohol wine for the purposes aforesaid
shall be regulated by law.
Provision is also made that the law goes
into effect on January /, 1919, providing
the amendment, which will be submitted
to the people for ratification at the general
election of November, 1918, passes, the eff
fort to defer the laws taking effect to one
year after the vote having failed.

MOVING PICTURE CENSORSHIP.

If the moving picture censorship bill is
enacted by the legislature, Florida politics
will receive fat office accretions, but will
the people be benefited?
What standards could be adopted su-
perior to the requirements of the National
Board of Censors? What service to man.
kind could be rendered that So for the first,
and 81 for each subsequent reel of silent
drama should be charged? Is censorship
to be applied to vaudeville as well To the
spoken drama? To newspapers? To maya
zines? Or is the idea simply to achieve dis
elimination?
That many films have been released that
had better been destroyed, no one will
deny. But such violations of decency are
growing scarcer every day; producing di-
rectors are developing the editorial sense
of propriety that keeps clean the pages of
our magazines without legal assistance in
welding the blue pencil, without having to
pay over virtue-money.

IN AMERICAN WATERS.

That Germany would attempt U-Warfare
in American waters, was foregone con-
clusion. But her delay in making a start
suggests difficulty in preparations-sus-
picion which is confirmed by the weakness
of the beginning
In the old days, whe nthe kaiser was
wont to say he did what he willed, dozen
ships would have been Sent racing to the
bottom the first day; instead, one British
sailing vessel of Cuba is the total bag to
date
The enormous extent of Our coast line
that makes it difficult to defend also makes
it difficult to blockade. Even in the re-
stricted area around the British Isles, sub
marine war is military failure; what will
it be in a zone that instead of being focused
is diffused from Maine to Texas?
Though German shipyards are able to
turn out u boat in fifteen days, it is tax
ing their resources to replace present
losses and the hundreds needed to invest
our coast represent a contract that stag
gers even the desperate efficiency of Ger
many Yards that have heretofore been

Gripping the merchant marine OF the rest
of the world hoped to win the trade war
no matter what the military outcome,
would have to be pressed into service,
abandoning their present work. New ones
would have to be built Moreover it takes
three months to train submarine crews.
ANY blockade that Germany can attempt,
therefore-at least for the present-wfll
be more of raiding than of an investing
character hit and run affair with the
chances against the batter.

THE NEED OF TROOPS.

To those who have followed internation-
al developments, to those for whom the
veil of secrecy has been even slightly lifted
by our secret service, allowing fleeing,
paralyzing glimpse of German conspiracy
in this country, to those who are able to
look deeper than the surface of words,
the governments action in raising the age
limit and lowering the physical require
ment standard for admission to the regular
army, is of great significance.
It means that the danger is greater than
even alarmists dream. It means that a
huge army must be raised immediately, not
as a precautionary measure, but for rea-
sons involving the national security. 1t
lends color to the rumored German .organi-
cation in Mexico. 1t suggests an expedi-
tionary force to France, on the principle
that the best defense is a vigorous offense.
Appealing to state authorities to exert
every effort to bring national guard units
up to full strength, efficiency and equip
ment, the government is also establishing
civilian training camps throughout the
country to develop officers. If raising the
enlistment age from 80 to 40, and accept
ing recruits with minor physical defects
that formerly barred them from service, is
not enough to enlist a volunteer army, con-
scription will be enforced

of the six greatest commanders in

The George Washington of the
American revolution on water was
John Paul Jones, first ranking Off
Ger n the United States navy.
Ttk remarkable career of this
daunNcess Scotchman brought him
praise from foreign nations ard I'M
dying fame throughout the world. He
was the first lieutenant and first cap
tain of the United States navy. He
was unanimously elected by congress
the first ranking officer Of the navy,
in 1871, and received gold medal
from congress, like that given Wash
ington, in 1887.
Jones was % years of age when
he enlisted in the American navy in
1775. He was the first naval officer
to hoist the American flag under a
salute of LIZ guns.
At the beginning of the revolution
Jones took part in small naval en-
counters with British ships. Late in
1777, when sent into English waters
as commander of the Ranger, Jones
sank several enemy ships by daring
night raids under the enemys' guns.
Jones showed his real merit when,
as commander of the Richard, he
fought the Scraps, late in 1779, off
Marlborough, England. The Scraps
was one of the finest frigates in the
English navy and more powerful
than the Richard, which had been re-
fitted for naval service.
Both ships, badly battered, were
alongside each other and the Richard
was sinking slowly, when Capt.
Pearson, of the Scraps, shouted tc
Jones:
"Have you struck your flag?"

Insurance or Pensions?

There are now before congress meas
ures prepared by the administration pro-
viding for insurance of soldiers, which
it is said are designed to take the place
of the present pension system with It's
more or less uncertain features and its
possible and actual abuses.
Without knowledge of the details OF
the plan, 1t may be said briefly that If 1t
provides suitably for the permanent
relief of the soldier or his dependents II
may be advisable and beneicent. In a
long war which may be before us, the
rec0mpense of disabled soldiers and the
care of the dependents OF those who
lose their lives, will be one Of the hesv.
lest of the charges which will be laid
upon us, and may under our pension
system grow to enormous figures.
On the other hand, if the plan pro-
vides for the payment of lump sum tc
the soldier or his dependents, and makes
no provision for the future welfare oil
those who through misfortune or ever
their own unthriftiness or folly shall
lose what the country has paid them, II
will not be permanently accepted. Our
present policy is that our soldiers who
have given their lives or bodies for as
and those dependent upon them, shall
never come to want or pauperism. That
policy is too well settled to allow 9
departure from 1t.
