Coast chamber of commerce an ac-
tion was taken naming Mr.. Hamilton,
p. A. Vans Agnew and Geo. b. Hills
as a special committee to draft bill
for presentation to the legislature at
the meeting to be held this spring,
and the first meeting of this special
committee has been held in Jackson
vile this week. Mr.. Hamilton is
thoroughly familiar with the needs of
the East Coast and interior sections
in the improvement of the inland wa
terways; Mr.. Vans Agnew has had
much experience in drainage work as
attorney for several successfully form
ed drainage districts; Mr.. Hills is an
engineer associated with Isham Ran
dOlph and company, and has had much
experience in laying out plans of re-
clamatiOn for drainage districts and
other waterways engineering projects.
The general plan of the bill will be
to have special act passed by the
legislature forming an immense drain
age district taking in about one-third
of the state and embracing the East
Coast and interior sections. The dis
trict will be formed under a plan COM
bining the features of the law creating
drainage districts and the law Great
ing special road and bridge districts
The plan is to have the improvement
work done and place a tax on the
property within the district to pay the
expenses.
- The formation Of such district and
the improving of the waterways would
be of inestimable value to the east
ern half of the state, and the expense
| in the way of taxes would be so light
on each property owner as to be
scarcely noticeable. It would mean
the permanent improvement of the
East Coast inland waterway and the
combining Of this water route with
The Daytona daily news. [volume] (Daytona, Fla.) 1903-1926, 1917-01-19

the ST Johns river route through from
the east coast to the gulf.
The consideration of the bill be-
ing prepared by the special committee
has been made a special order of bus
mess to be considered by the East
Coast chamber of commerce at the
next quarterly meeting to be held in
April. and it is expected this organiza-
tion will take the matter up and push
it before the state legislature.

FIRST Definite STEP
IS TAKEN THIS week
SECRETARY n. I. HAMILTON GOES
TO JACKSONVILLE TO ASSIST
IN PREPARING THE PRELlM,N-
AIRY DRAFT.

Following out instructions contain
ed in an action taken at the quarterly
meeting of the East Coast chamber of
Commerce held in Titusville last week,
H. l. Hamilton, secretary of the Flor
ida East Coast Canal association. has
been in Jacksonville this week meet
ing with the other members of the
special committee named to draft a
bill for presentation at the next ses-
sion of the legislature providing for
the organization of an immense drain
age district to improve the inland wa
terways along the East Coast and
through the interior of the state, says
the New Smyrna News this week.
This is the first definite step in the
movement for the formation of the big
drainage district, which was started
about the time Of the annual cOnven
tiOn of the Florida East Coast Canal
association held several weeks ago in
Fort Lauderdale. The plan was not
sufficiently developed for presenta
tiOn at the annual convention of the
canal association, but it has been
since approved by the officers and di
rectOrS of the association.

SOME SOUL-SATISFACTION
IN THE MINISTRY.

To the Jewish laity the rabbini
cal calling looks most unattractive,
Improbable and undesirable. People
show their feeling in the matter by
not allowing or encouraging their
sons to enter the profession. They
know that there is no money in it,
no great glory and that it brings
considerable anxiety and vexation.
Anybody can find fault with the
rabbi, criticize him and make it un-
pleasant for him. The service he
renders meets with little apprecia-
ton. He offers people religion.
But how many want religion now
adays?
There are certain satisfactions the
ministry brings of which the laity
has no conception. They are among
the i1nponderable things of life. One
of these satisfactions comes to the
man who has served one community
a certain length of time and in re-

EDg 7 ORlAL
LOYALTY.

The one word of our vocabulary
that has been raised to place of
supreme Importance these days of
emergency and stress is the word
loyalty. It is being given the Sc
verest and strictest Interpretation.
In a critical time like the present
loyalty requires absolute and un-
questioning compliance with and de-
ference to, the decisions and wishes
of our government 1t requires COM
plete unity of purpose and effort,
and a well-knit and solid national
body to back our governments war
enterprise. No citizen may by word
or deed give aid or comfort to the
enemy.
This week the nations represen-
tatives of labor and of intelligent
socialism and other radical schools
of thought have gathered in the city
of Minneapolis to renew their pledge
OF loyalty to our government ana TO
assure it of labor's faithful support
in our war against autocracy and
ruthless mil;tarism Among the del
egates to this unique convention are
some prominent Jewish leaders who
will utilize the occasion by meeting
their fellow Jews of the city, and
giving renewed expression of the
loyalty of American Jewish citi-
zens. In the East the voice of the
Jew-hater has been heard accusing
the foreign born Jews of a lack of
loyalty in the present crisis. That,
of course, is the Jew-hater's bust
ness; always to find some excuse for
his petty malice 1t is for us to put
forth every effort to silence him. 1t
is, therefore, desirable that the syna-
gogue meetings next Friday even
ing, which will assume a patriotic
character, should show the largest
possible attendance.

THE LIBERAL SYNAGOGUE'S
SPECIAL FUNCTION.

The synagogue, like the church,
is here to remind man of God and
Gods law, to turn mans mind to
the divine aspect of the world and
CT human life In this materialistic
age men live and act, strive and
struggle as if God had utterly for
saken his world and had turned it
over to mans wilfullness, caprice,
greed, tyranny and hate; as if there
were no divine law of right and
wrong, good and evil. The syna-
goguc, like the church, reminds
us that the world is still governed
by divine power, wisdom and JUS
t;ce, and that Gods law may not be
infringed with impunity.
But the synagogue gives these
ideas of God and the divine law it's
own distinctive Interpretation, not
only according to it's own traditions
but also according to the best light
of the most enlightened Jewish
minds of every age. That is the lib
eral synagogue's special function.
1t seeks to give the great truths of
God and of the divine aspect of life,
an Interpretation comfortable to
the best knowledge and the highest
and noblest thought of the age, SO
that every vestige of fable, super
stition and abject fear may be re-
moved from them SO that they
should appeal not only to the sim
ple-minded but also to the most in
tellectual.
1t is to the credit of the synagogue
and it is our pride that it has never
suppressed human reason and its
findings because they conficted with
it's traditional conceptions of God
and the divine government of the
world, but has, whenever neces-
sary, modified these conceptions to
bring them into harmony with the
progressive thought of the age

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
ROSH HASHONOH GREET
INGS.

In these times when the most ur-
gent appeals are made to us to give
as much as we can, and as often as
we can, for the relief of our war
stricken brethren in the war zones,
and to the various agencies in our
country engaged in welfare work
for our soldier and sailor boys,
every suggestion of ways and
means of saving money and of
turning such savings over to one or
another relief fund, should be well
coined by our people and acted
upon.
The custom of remembering our
friends on Rosh Hashonoh and of
conveying our greetings and good
wishes to them is most praise
worthy. But those who are blessed
with large circle Of friends find
that it involves considerable ex-
pense, labor and anxiety. The an
xiety is due to the fact that
sometimes some friend may be over
looked or forgotten. 1t is for this
reason that of late years the custom
has evolved into the practice of in
serting a New Years card into the
local Jewish paper, in which good
wishes are conveyed to all of ones
friends This practice recommends
itself to all sensible people, as a
time, labor and care-saving device.
Needless to say that some money
is saved thereby, too. And it is in
this connection that we wish to en-
phasize the point that this year
every loyal Jew should turn such
savings over to one of the relief
funds and thus make his meritorious
act doubly meritorious. His friends
Will appreciate his card of greetings
in The American Jewish World,
and some human life will be saved
or comforted by his contribution.

What our radical pacihsts don't

have been one Of the great crimes

Prospect finds how completely his
own life has been identified with
the lives of his people. He has
been with them in all their joys and
sorrows. He has ministered to them
en- the most sacred occasions of
their lives. He has comforted them
when they were grief-stricken; he
has spoken words of JOY and good
cheer when they celebrated. The
gratifying consciousness of having
thus had part in the life Of his peo
pie is indeed a great reward.

FOOD EXPERTS
To WATCH Army
GARDENS ON OAHU

For the time being, at least, the
food commission agent on this island
and the executive heads of the or
ganization will give attention to the
work now being carried on by enlisted
men at the various forts on Oahu in
raising their own foodstuffs. Prac.
tically every company has its indivi-
dual garden, about an acre in area,
and the commission plans to give the
men all assistance possible in order
that they may increase their produc-
ton.
A friendly rivalry is said to exist
among the companies in each post,
each company striving to raise the
most fod. Co. H, list Infantry, Sch
field Barracks, has decreased it's
monthly supply bill by about $125 as
result of its garden. Other COM
panies report that they are saving
money as well.
J. F. Child, assistant executive of.
ficer Of the commission, was at his
desk bright and early this morning
and for the next several days will
devote his time to routine work. He
is classifying correspondence and
other material for use by the sew
eral committees. Within a few DAYS
he will confer with Attorney A. L..
Castle, executive officer, with a view
to outlining definite plan of action
for the future. No date has been set
for the next meeting of the commits
sion, which will be the first meeting
following the reorganization.

WHT cLoRIFY The UNPLEAsANT2
By DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman
Writer

@NE of the millions OF things that
shall never be able TO under
~ stand about human nature is why
We exalt the hideous and the sordld
and consider that there is some pc
culiar virtue in the disagreeable.
WHY is it that when an author
writes a story that deals with the
most horrible side OF life; when he
takes his hero and heroine from the
most degraded specimens OF human
ity: when he fishes his plot out Of the
gutter and suffuses the story with
the stencil Of the sewer, we speak OF
II with awe and admiration as realism
But when a novelist depicts what
is pure and beautiful in life, when
he makes a noble man and woman
his hero and heroine and lays his
plot amid scenes of refinement where
everybody is trying to lead the higher
life, why do we brand his story con-
temptuously as mere sentimental ro-
nance?
Surely there is more beauty than
ugliness in the world. There is more
virtue than vice. There are more
good men and women than bad.
Where you find one lady vampire,
sucking dry the heart and pocketbook
of q man, you will find a thousand
loving and devoted women unselfishly
sacrificing themselves for their hus-
bands and children. Where you will
find one man who is a dark brown
villain pursuing youth and innocence,
there are a thousand Sir Gallahads
ready to protect any girl with their
lives II necessary.
