New York Times: United in the
conviction that the best way to win
the war is to stop talking peace. and
that until the war is won by force Of
arms no satisfactory terms of peace
can be reached by compromise,
James M. Beck, DR.. d. j. Mccarthy
of Philadelphia, and the Rev. How
ard Duffield, chaplain of the Ninth
coast artillery, aroused guests at the
Republican club luncheon yesterday
| to outbursts of applause in patriotic
| speeches that reached their climax
when Mr.. Beck exclaimed:
IF we are to have a liberal civil
| lization there is no room for the
| Hohenzollern in it. With him or
! his brood on the throne, the rule Of
| reason will cease in international
affairs and the only right will be
that of the powers of destructive
civilization. Civilization would then
be hell, with the kaiser and his
successors as the possible overlords.
"The sacred cause of justice-puni-
| tive justice-must not be compro-
missed"
| Asserting that he was speaking
with extreme reluctance and from a
sense of solemn duty, Mr.. Beck at
one point said that he felt constrain-
ed to question the wisdom of the
recent peace parleys, especially
when conducted at time when the
enemy was flushed with victory. It
was his belief that while the value
Of President Wilson's speech on jan
uary Sth, with its fourteen formulas,
was open to fair debate and a
reasonable difference of opinion, yet
the presidents later address of Feb
ruary 18th, when the fourteen for
mulas were again whitfield down to
four exceedingly vague formulas" did
not seem to him open to such de-
bate"
Nothing more unfortunate has
happened since we entered the war;"
he added. 1T revives old doubts. 1t
bewilders our judgment 1t disturbs
our morale" That these four formu-
las tended to dissipate the, great
moral issue Of the war into meaning
less phrases could best be shown by
the fact, Mr.. Beck assetred, that the
German chancellor had no difficulty
whatever in accepting them.
The futility of a certain kind of
phrase making was also pointed out
by Mr.. Beck, who drew the line be-
tween phrases that are potential for
good and those more potential for
evil. TOO proud to fight" he said,
was deadly phrase, but an even
deadlier one was peace without vic
tory" The map of the world. Mr..
Beck said, could not be determined
on the basis of any such generaliza-
ton as the right to self-definition."

Insects Injurious in November

The month Of November is a
time when the rust mite does con-
siderable damage to many citrus
groves. A close lookout should
be kept for them, and the trees
sprayed if the mites seem to be
increasing in number. For this
purpose, Prof. j. R. Watson, ento-
mologist of the experiment sta
ton, recommends the lime-sul-
Iphur spray, / quart commercial
lime-sulphur to 70 parts of water,
applied to the fruits and foliage,
-Whitefy and purple scale may
also need attention. The oil emul-
sion applied now will be found eff
fective.
In planting new fields of cane,
be sure to keep lookout for the
cane borer. Control of this enc
my when once introduced into a
field is difficult. Planters should
inspect carefully all seed-canes,
and any canes exhibiting holes
should be promptly burned. If
your field was infested this year,
it might be found profitable to
make a new planting in another
location
y
The peach tree should be looked
after now. All the eggs have
Matched. If the earth was mound
ed about the trees in the summer,
level the mounds, scrape the bark
off the tree and dig the borers out.
They have not penetrated far into
the tree and the scraping will re-
move most of them.

Dog Tax for Schools

Having seen the admirable man.
ner in which dog tax for schools
works in other Southern states,
The Tribune has long since urged
Florida to adopt the plan for the
double purpose of Kidding the
state of so many worthless ours
and for adding materially to the
public school fund.
the l'unta Gorda Herald is a.
gain adv coating this dog tax for
schools, and We urge that paper
to push its campaign and see if
we cannot get the matter favor
ably before the next legislature.
In South Carolina the tax on
dogs is given directly to the
school district in which it is col
lected; and the trustees of the
school district are charged with
the duty of seeing that all owners
of dogs return them for taxation.
1t is not a difficult matter, for the
trustees know every man and his
dog in their districts, and they,
being in need for all money they
can get for their schools, keep All
eye open for dogs all the year
round. The plan works well
there, and could and should be
adopted here.
In addition to this the listing
of polls for the poll tax collection
which also goes directly to the
schools of the district where col
lected, is placed as a duty on the
trustees of the school district.
Through this close personal agen-
cy there are few men who ever es-
cape paying their poll tax in
South Carolina. This also might
well be added to our school law.
In fact, this whole matter of
handling our schools needs re-
vamping, for it is worn through
at the toe, run down at the heel,
and is walking on its uppers.-
