THE COLONEL'S IDEA

Great crises develop greatness in
some men and foolishness in others.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who is now
in Florida to catch devil fish, gave
cut an interview at Jacksonville in
which he advocated sending an eX-
pe6itionary force abroad at once, 4
force to be composed of from fifty
thousand to a hundred thousand men
and units to be kept organizing all
the while in order to maintain this
force up to the full strength.
The farce of the recent expedition
airy force into Mexico will not be
boited from the memory of the pub
lie in a long while Expeditionary
forces are not likely to become popu-
lar with the American public after
that. Besides. what could fifty thou
sand men do? Where would they
land and in what manner would they
operate to any advantage? Fifty
, Thousand men Is mere handful in
this war OF enormous numbers and
quantities. Besides, we will need all
the men that can be raised to repel
invasion, should 1t come to that. The
more the colonel talks the more II
becomes evident that the country is
fortunate in not having him as pres
ident at this critical period -Orlan-

COURTESY

Courtesy is a little word with a
big meaning. II costs nothing to be
courteous. and it is always the badge
OF good breeding and the spontan-
cons expression of big soul. We all
expect courtesy from children toward
their elders; but this is a mater in
which reciprocity is a good thing.
Courtesy should manifest itself ev-
erywhere-in the home. on the
street, in the store and shop. and
wherever human beings meet and
ningle.
Imagine yourself an usher in the
church. Strangers enter, and you
start down the aisle to show them
TO seat. AS usher you know where
they should be seated. and when you
reach the pew you look back, suppos
inc the guests have followed you,
only to find that they have chosen
their own places and are seated
without thanks to you or thought OF
the lack of courtesy shown you. You
wouldn't treat an usher that way:
Of course not; and yet some people
do They probably do not mean to
be discourteous, but they have never
taken the trouble to put themselves
in the other mans place
II is good idea to take stock of
ourselves sometimes. One never has
to go far out Of the way to practice
courtesy. and it always brightens the
pathway of life Many of us are too
busy about the serious things Of life
To take note of the little things that
in the sum total count for so much,
hut we cannot make a mistake If we
make it point to practice courtesy
at all times.-Gainesvill Sun.

the price of berries fell to $3.50 to
s. per bushel crate The number Of
bushels sent away from here Satur-
day afternoon amounted to 2i0 by
express and 175 sent by refrigerator

Monday morning a telegram from
New York stated that berries sold
there at so cents a quart, so that
those who sent berries from here on
Friday and Saturday made handsome
profits. Risk makes the merchant"
it might have turned out the other
way.
Thus il will be seen that the ru-
NOR of the strike, even at this little
city, caused considerable loss to
those who could i'll afford it. What it
cost the nation at large will run into
the millions. -Starke Telegraph.

THOUSANDS WANT.
JOBS WITH U. S.

More than 1900 applications have
been taken by Civil Service Secretary
=. W. Humphreys for service at the
arsenals and navy yards throughout
the country from people now resid-
Ing in Jacksonville. There are NAM
applicants who are laboring under
the idea that transportation will be
furnished, but this will not be done
by the government. No one need ap-
ply at the local civil service offices
who thinks that there will be trans
p0rtation given to any point.
1t was through the publicity given
by the Metropolis last Wednesday ev-
ening that the great number of ap-
plicants were told that there were
positions waiting to be filed at the
navy yards and arsenals, as well as
government ordnance factories
throughout the country. Since last
Thursday morning the Office of Mr..
Humphreys has been crowded to its
capacity with those wishing to find
employment in the service.
What the government needs is me-
chdnics and people who can work at
snipbuilding, including machinists,
carpenters. painters. boiler-makers,
tlacksmiths and helpers. Positions
are also open for foremen of gangs
and many others.
Jacksonville will send a great num-
Der of men into the munition fac
tories, arsenals and navy yards
throughout the country. There are
men of all kinds, black and white
and women of both colors applying
for positions. Many seamstresses are
reeGed .-Jacksonville Metropolis

1.-The statements in the Evening
News OF yesterday that the First Ma
tinnal Bank lost in the robbery of
February &c approximately $4,000
in currency and unregistered bonds
to an amount of over $4,000, is an
cyaggeration, declared an official of
the bank last night. ut is only fair
to the bank and every business house
and citizen of Daytona." he contin-
ued. "to call attention to the fact
that the directors Immediately put
luz $50, 900 to cover the loss, and
that the bank is further protected
ib~ insurance and a surplus and UNI
divided profits of $4,000. There can
be no doubt that the bank will col
loct either its burglary insurance or
the personal surety bond given by
Mr. Sullivan"
According to the story published
in the News yesterday Pinkerton and
Burns. detectives, have instituted a
nationwide search for former Cash
licr w. r. Sullivan, intimating that
he was connected with the robbery
or can throw considerable light on
tho subject.
The Journal has been in possession
of Information ever since the rob-
berry that points almost conclusively
to Mr.. Sullivan as the guilty party
IT has refrained from publishing this
information because no warrant has
beer sworn out for him and none OF
the many detectives that are here o.
have been here have seemed very
anxious to locate him. In fact one o:
them stated few days ago that he
could locate Mr. Sullivan any time
he wanted him.

The Evening Telegram is thorough
ly satisfied that Lakeland has the
best and purest water supply in Flor
ida. If there should be any pollution
and that there is has not been es-
tablished-it is either in the reser-
voir or in the mains. The reservoir
is emptied every twenty-four hours,
and il does not seem possible that
pollution could form in SO short a
period. No lake water ever comes in
contact with the mains from which
the city is supplied. Lake water is
used for condensing purposes, but
by no possibility could it get into the
supply mains. There is valve by
which the water of the lake can be
made available in case of general
tonflagation, but ii is impossible for
the lake water to get into the mains
from the valve. even if it were left
open. because the mains are consid-
erably higher than the lake level. and
water will not run uphill. However,
where there is the slightest doubt of
the purity OF the water, consumers
should boil it and be on the safe side.
The health officer has sent specimens
of the water to be analysed. and the
result of the analysis will shortly be
known.

DECLARATION OF WAR
ON GERMANY WILL BE FOL-
LOWED BY A SIMILAR ACT
or THE PART OF CUBANS

Jacksonville. March 2S.-While
the United States is making every
preparation for war with Germany.
the people of Cuba likewise are get
ting ready to render all assistance to
the great nation that befriended
her during her hour of need some
years ago, and has remained her
friend during the upbuilding of the
republic.
Robert G. Ebert, manager of the
hotel Plaza, Havana, and assistant
manager of the Hotel McAlpin, New
York city, a guest of the Windsor
hotel here, recently gave out the
above statement with the further
declaration that the island republic
will follow closely upon the actions
Of the United States with a similar
declaration of war.
"Just before l left Havana | had
an interview with Eusebio s. Azpia-
zu. private secretary to President
Menocal." he said. II asked him
" hat the republic would do in the
event the United States Congress de-
clared war upon Germany. He re-
Piled that the republic will immedi
ately take such step and lend its
Fl -hting forces to assist this country
in the conflict"
Americans, who have never visit
ed Cuba, hardly realize the intense
friendly feeling the Cubans entertain
FOR citizens of this country" contin-
ued Mr.. Ebert. President Menocal
is thoroughly American in spirit,
education and enterprise. while, at
tie same time, he is d Cuban patriot
of thehighest ideals. He wac abroad
in 1866 in the province OF Matanzas,
SO that he is now in the prime of life
and in the zenith of his activity
"Hc received the major part of his
Ieducation in the United States. and
speaks English without any trace of
accent. in fact, like any American
IN youth he was pupil at the Chau-
tauoua Institute, and. later, studied
at the Maryland Agricultural college,
whence he passed on to Cornell uni
versity, graduating there as a civil
engineer in the class OF 1888.
Cuba has $4,000 trained soldiers.
and the system, similar to the Ma
tional Guard, which has just become
effective. will give about $4,000
more fighting men within the next
few months. Each and every one o.
these soldiers and recruits is never
unmindful OF the friendship between
the people of their republic and OF
the United States, and they will
make up one of the most patriotic
forces against Germany that could be
found"

The Mulberry Herald very truly
says that the Florida libel laws
should be amended to allow news
paper to print whatever is true. We
would add that the law should be
framed, also, to prevent the printing
of things that are not true when these
things tend to injury mans char
acter or reputation. Such law
would not affect the honest, conscien-
tious journalist; but it would serve to
put a curb on the character assassin
who occasionally gets control of a
newspaper
