PEACE
(By R. A. ward.)

(By R. A. Ward)
Al, hail. thou dawn OF peace
For wars alarms shall cease
Throughout the earth.
Long have we sought the light
In darkness Of the night,
For triumph Of the right
Ger allied wrongs.
Thy light has dawned at last
The darkest hours are past
In every land.
God grant our noble dead
Whose blood they freely shea'
Cause freedoms joy to spread
From pole to pole.
No more shall wars alarms
Call peaceful men to arms
BY mans decree.
May thrones return to dust
And crowns consume with rust
While monarchs, proud, UNJUST
Yield up their power.
With joyous notes We'll sing
OF our triumphant King
Enthroned on high.
His praise shall never cease
But evermore increase,
For He is prince OF Peace"
And Lord Of life.

The Tampa Tribune is taking a
most praiseworthy stand in the State
Reform School matter, and 1t has Of
fered to advance funds enough to fl
nance the institution until the regu-
lar session of the Legislature-a most
munificent and patriotic patriotism
But, in view Of the reports that come
from up that way. we would suggest
to the Tribune that 1t had better send
q man up there to see what become;
OF the money.

While the war has been our great
horror. and we have joked at the flu,
the latter has killed double the num-
Der that lost their lives in the Former,
and in half the time. There was
nothing spectacular about its meth
DDS, but its toll of life was fearful.

What a good world 1t is! How. alb

hearted people are advertising that
they will take your Liberty Bonds off
your hands and give you in exchange
therefor mining stocks that will pay
you three or four times as much in

looking after your interests that way,
instead OF selflshly holding on to
these valuable stocks and letting you

Liberty Bonds?

Now comes J. A. Newsome. an hon

county-a former resident of Lake
land, a man whom we know-and tells
what he saw with his own eyes on a
recent visit to the Reform School. 1t
is enough to make every Floridian
blush with shame that such things
could exist in this State. Nor does the
fault lie with the people. They are
generous with their institutions. They

The three physicians, in the employ
of the commissioners of State insti-
tutions, who got up the statement In
defense of conditions at the Reform
School, stress the claim that the NOR
tality rate has been low. How do
they know? The superintendent was
not able to say how many Of the boys
had died. When he was asked, he
f1oundered around and guessed, and
believed" that FIVE or possibly seven
of the white boys had passed away. A
reputable Polk county man declares
that after the superintendent had
made this statement to him, two boys
