A Just and Lasting Peace

The essential principles that
must underlie peace, as stated by
President Wilson, should be con-
stantly kept in mind. They show
the greatness and unselfshness
and justice of America s war aims
Briefly they are:
ID The final settlement of this
war must be based upon essential
justice and each particular case so
adjusted as will most likely bring
permanent peace.
% Peoples and Provinces are
not to be bartered about as if thew
were mere chattels and pawns in a
game.
(3) Every territorial settle
ment must be made in the interest
OF and for the benefit of the popu-
latlonS concerned and not by way
or compromising claims of rival
States. ....'
N4) National aspirations must
be accorded all the satisfaction

All Florida Papers Do This

This paper makes it a rule never
to issue a number in which some
thing does not appear calling at
tentlon to some good point about
the city or section in which it is
published. Day in, day out, year
after year, this policy is pursued,
ana the paper carries always some
message OF cheer, some record of
good weather or good crops, some
story Of good citizenship, some
reference that will lead people to
judge favorably of the community
as place to live. We cannot but
feel that the cumulative effect of
tins constant boosting has been,
and is a factor in bringing people

A man, a stranger who declin-
ed to give his name, in the pres
ence of Mayor Trabue and the
editor of The Herald, made the
charge last Thursday, that, on the
recommendation of Mr.. Harnett,
consulting engineer for the board
of state institutions, that board
had paid 81, 10000 for a shaft six
feet by six inches for the state hos
pital at Chattahoochee; whereas,
he the author of the charge, had
installed at Quincy virtual dupli-
cate of that shaft for only $3.50.
1t was a shaft for a water wheel.
The editor does not believe the
charge, but it ought to be investi-
gated and the real facts given to
the public.

Pledge the Candidates

Florida voters should bear in
mind the lamentable fact that, this
year, they are to elect members OF
the house Of representatives of the
Legislature. 1t is very unfortu-
nate, but it must be done. The
Legislature is the greatest fraud
that is imposed upon the people ;
and, as it cannot be avoided, the
people should exert themselves to
the utmost to make the best of it.
70 this end, they should not elect
men who make the most noise and
promises; they should elect men
whom they positively know to be
noneSt, courageous and capable.
Otherwise, there will be more Of
fees to fill, more graft and taxes
10 pay, more rascals to go scot
free.
The voters should make every
candidate for the house Cor the
senate) give his sacred pledge as
to the policies, reforms and other
foolishness which he intends to
advocate; and, if he is elected and
comes home without having tried
to fulfill his pledges, they should
make st, Stephen Of him.
Virtually every member of the
last legislature pledged himself to
repeal or amend the Bryan prima-
ry law, but that law still exists,
unrepealed and unamended.
There is one thing which every
legislature for the past fifteen
years has sworn to do and has not
done-doesn't that convince you
that the Legislature is a fraud and
not to be trusted and that is.
make a re-apportionment of the
membership of the legislature. The
Herald would, therefore, urge the
voters to require every candidate
Tor representative to hold up his
right hand and swear that. if e.
lected, he will do all he can to Sc
cure a fair and just re-apportion-
ment.
There are several other reforms
OF great Importance to the tax
payers which the county commits
sloners of DeSoto county have pro-
posed and publicly advocated, to
which every legislative candidate
should be required to pledge him
self. Amongst these is the aboli-
ton of bond trustees and of the
policy of distributing the county
funds amongst various deposito-
ries. Bond trustees are useless
expense, and county cash should
be deposited in the bank that paws
the most interest. There is
joker" in the present depository
law, which the DeSoto county
commissioners have clearly ex-
posed. They presented the facts
to the last legislature, but. as
stated above, the legislature is a
humbug and rarely does anything
that ought to be done. Naturally,
such a fraud ignored the recon-
mendations of the DeSoto county
commissioners, which, if they had
been adopted, would have saved
the taxpayers much money.
The adoption of the British code
system in the administration of
the criminal law is matter of i'm.

What does it matter whether we
are Jews or Catholics or Protestants
the President of the United States
has asked us to work together to
help the boys win the war-it's the
biggest cause the world ever knew,
this winning of the war, and we
want the biggest sum of money that
ever was given to support it-Sl70,-
100000.
There is no peace in sight yet To
make the world safe Germany must
be thoroughly licked Millions more
men are going over to do the job. To
provide for their comfort, to back
them up, to light home fires where
ever they go-that is what the money
is for
It's going to be easy to give, easy
to go without things we want, easy
not to spend a red cent except for
food and shelter and clothes which
will cover us.
It's going to be easy-because of
that boy we miss most.
