WHAT MEXICO MUST UNDER
STAND

Formally receiving Ignacio Bonillas,
the new Mexican ambassador. Fresi-
dent Wilson wasted neither time nor
words in ceremonious compliments.
He said he would welcome convinc-
ing evidence that constitutional gov
eminent had been established in Mex
leo willing and able to guarantee life,
property and justice to Americans the
same as to other foreigners The Unit
ed States asks no more and can ac-
cept no less.
Whether Gen. Carranza's ungener-
Gus attitude toward the United States
is due to his own prejudices or to the
necessity of placating a pro-German
military party, now as always anti
American, it is obvious that the pres
ident's lack of cordiality was both de
liberate and deserved The first chief
and most of his associates are under
suspicion which they have taken no
pains to remove.
There is no more desire in this
country for war with Mexico now tnan
there was year ago, but Gen Car
rama may depend upon it that trcsch-
cry on his part will be detected and
acted upon unhesitatingly. While we
are raising millions of men and bill
lions of money We shall not find it DIFF
ficult to accumulate a few more of
each for service south of the Rio
Grande if necessary. Out of sympa-
thy or pity. when we were a. peace
we endured much from Mexicc's
weakness and violence. In war there

submit, and that is bad faith.-World

PATRIOTISM AND BABIES

How the strength of the nation is
being impaired by the conditions
which make babies sicken and die.
and what some two thousand commu-
mites have done to awaken interest
in the conservation of the youngest
citizens are briefly reviewed in a new
bulletin on baby week campaigns
which has just been issued by the
children's bureau of the L. S. depart
ment of labor.
Approximately one in ten OF all the
babies born in the United States dies
before completing twelve months of
life, and the children's bureau says:
1T was once thought that high
infant death rate indicated a greater
degree of vigor in the survivors. Now
it is agreed that the conditions which
destroy so many of the youngest lives
of the community must also result in
Gripping and manning many others
and must react unfayOrably upon the
health of the entire community"
Two thousand one hundred commu-
mites have reported 10 the children's
bureau the details of baby day or a
baby week by which they called atten-
ton to the need of protecting their ba-
bies. Ingenious devices for exhibits,
new methods Of distributing pam
phlets on baby care, ways in which in
| formation on local conditions was Sc
cured and published. and other inter
esting features from these local re-
ports are described in the bulletin as
suggestive for those who are planning
similar campaign.
| The bureau says:
Not all Of the 2100 communities re-
porting a baby week campaign in 1916
may find it wise to repeat the celebra-
ton in 1917: but the United States in
cludes 141SG incorporated cities,
towns and villages, and it is doubtful
! if among the thousands which have
never had a baby day or baby week
there is a single town or village which
would not profit from such a cam
paign."
Our slogan: Our states greatest as
set-healthy children.

BLAKE CAMPBELL

When asked by a newspaper man,
who is Blake Campbell?" Governor
Cats replied that it was a private
matter and one that he did not care
to have discussed in the newspapers.
If it is a private matter why did the
governor choose to sign the letter al
dressed to the attorney general as
governor of Florida, and not as a pri-
vate citizen. Had he signed in this
manner the letter which he says the
attorney general had no right to give
out would probably never have been
made public. The governor SHOULD
not be surprised at the action of the
attorney general in giving out a letter
of this character from the governor
or a great state. 1t was a very unus.
ual letter to go forth from the chief
executive OF Florida and we do not
doubt that Governor Cats regrets
writing it.-Gadsden County Tines.

JOSEPHUS DANIELS

The persistent and malignant abuse
Of Josephus Daniels, the present Sec
rotary of the navy, was begun when
he issued his celebrated order prohib-
iting the use of booze by the naval
officers on board naval ships.
That order is now regarded in more
mellow tones than when it was first
issued. and has found a responsive
echo in nearly if not all the navies of
the world,
A target for abuse as no other Off
cial during his four years of service.
JOsephus Daniels has made the Amer
lean navy more effective than it ever
was before.
He has secured the authority for
the building of more ships, has enlist
ed more men and saved more money
than any of his predecessors in office.
and the names of some of them APP
pear in big letters in history.
One authority says that man for
man, and ship for ship, the United
States is not surpassed by any navy
in the world.
Sobriety prevails on board of every
ship and the improved efficiency of
the navy is beyond dispute.
The blue ribbon must be handed
to the man who had the moral stanf
ina to call officers to the standard of
abstinence at time when to do so
invited ridicule and obloquy.

makes denial of having said that If

"a period of sixty days. 1t seems to
be question of veracity on the part
of the governor and those who heard

The bill creating Flagler county
was passed by the legislature of Flor
ida with only two dissenting votes. 1t
was because the people in the propos-
ed new county favored the movement
almost unanimously. Now, if Bunnell,
the proposed county site, is changed
to Flagler, it will be a splendid tribute
to the great developer, and no doubt
will prove a big advertisement to the
new county seat.

THE CRY is FOR BREAD

The civil war taught the south a
saiutary lesson but the high price for
cotton Immediately after that conflict
in most of the states other than Flor
ida, and the high price for oranges
and vegetables in Florida, caused us
70 quickly forget the lesson taught us
by hard experience.
When the tocsin of war was sound
ed there was Immediately begun
work of conservation and develop
nent.
Cotton and wooden cards and hand
looms were brought from their hiding
places in lofts and garrets and placed
in position, and in their use many be.
came experts.
The planting of cotton was largely
abandoned, and the planting of food
stuffs became the paramount issue.
What was the result?
For more than four years, with
most of the able-bodied men at the
front, and only the women on the
farms, and with every port blockad-
ed. the south not only fed her own ar.
mics but largely helped to feed the
invading armies, the same as Belgium
has been compelled lately to do.
Since our civil war the south has
depended for her foodstuffs and feed
stuffs almost wholly upon the western
states, and this we are told she must
do no longer.
This is the condition OF affairs the
southern farmer has placed before
him:
The cry in Europe and in this coun
try for months to come is for bread.
The farmer must master the eco
nomic problem. not only as a wal
measure, but as a peace measure.
The trouble, apart from the abnor
mally crop shortage. due to the war
and the sending of the millions of
farmers to the battle fronts in Eu
rope, is the decreased production of
foodstdffs not only in the south, pei
capita, but in the north as we'll. This
must be remedied.
We must bend our energies to grow
more foOdstuffs.
Hog and hOminv" must he our slO.
gan.
And seeing what We can do along
these lines we will make progress by
doing so.
Our success will draw attention to
our section and those who want to
grow staple crops and stock after
peace is declared will seek US out.
The farmer just now is the. man of
the hour. 1t is to him the nation is
looking and the president is making
personal appeal His responsible

the government are touring the south.
seeking to awake her planters and
growers to the necessity of putting in
more feed and foodstuffs
In word, the nation is calling up
on the south not alone to feed herself
but help feed the other sections, for
the supplies from the west and north
west are needed elsewhere, and it is
imperative that the south shall at
least take care of herself in order
that the western and northwestern
supplies may be released.
What the south did once with most
of her able-bodied men at the battle
front and the women almost alone on
the farms, can be done again. and they
are periodically called upon to show
the mettle of the sires of the sixties.
