About World Sentiment
By R A. GALLEY
zxEKzwzNzMzazHzKzNaNzBsi

This world war has wrought a
great change in The viewpoint of
thinking men. 1t has in fact
made more real thinkers. Men
once thought in terms of hun.
dreds of dollars, later in thous-
ands, still later in millions, but
now III billions. Once they
thought in terms of tribes, later
in states, still later in nations,
but now in terms of a world hu-
manity.
The question of land titles is
now of absorbing interest. 1t
has only been of recent years
that men have questioned the
right of nations to hold land.
provinces. The right of con
quest, or the right by occupa.
tion. or by diplomatic pressure
has been until late years valid
title. The new world viewpoint
is changing things, The think
ing world is fast approaching the
point of making an overwhelm-
ing demand for readjustlnent
and quieting Of titles.
In the past there may be said
to have been three primary caus.
es of war: first, lust of conquest:
second, national honor; and,
third, disputes over land titles.
1t can readily be seen that the
qnieting of titles will remove two
of these causes at once. The
first cause has been the result in
turn of a double standard of hon
esty. Public men have felt free
to do for the nation what they
would not have done for them
selves take land by force when
they would have spurned the
suggestion of taking a neigh
boris lot at the point of a gun.
The welfare of humanity never
will be secare until an awakened
public opinion will demand. a
single standard of honesty 49, that
all public men must conduct pub
lie business as they would their
own under the eye of a watchful
public.
The idea of a world govern
ment is not new. Darius nearly,
if not altogether, realized it.
Alexander the Great, Napoleon
and the present Kaiser have
dreamed of it. 1t is impossible
by any means yet applied. 1t
may be possible by that means
which has in late years become
so powerful in all government
public sentiment. This term is
too narrow. 1t should now be
called world sentiment. There
may never be a federation of all
nations OF even a World Court,
but.the time is here now when
statesmen are listening to world
sentiment.

A SOLDIERS LETTER
ElIispOrt Red Cross Auxiliary Praised For
Their Untirins Efforts Alive Club
Social Notes

The Red Cross workers will
ingly make and send out every
thing that can be thought of that
can be used for the comfort and
cheer of the men who have gone
over there" to fight the battles
for a safer and saner world.
Usually this work is sent out
into an unknown somewhere, :"
with vague hope that the re-
suits of days of work may do
someone good, and it adds great.
~ TO the zeal of all workers to
get such a letter as came last
week to the Ellisport auxiliary.
The writer is a large man, and
the ordinary sized sweaters
which are being furnished by the
Red Cross, were too small for
him, so companion wrote his
mother about it. and one of the
ladies at once knit n large sized
sweater and sent it to him. The
letter is an acknowledgement,
added to an appreciative letter
from the Ellisport son who says,
We get nothing equal to the
Ellisport brand" There's no
thing like the home brand" will
be re.echoed all over the country
and so each home town will work
the faster for her boys who are
at the front or on the way.
llllisport Auxiliary Red Cross:
1t is with pleasure and deep respect
that ! write this TO the ladies of Ellis
port, for the work they are doingto be
OF comfort to the men who are engaged
in this tremendous strife that has
been forced upon us to make this world
safe for democracy. And realize that
it is not the men alone that must sac
rifice, but the women, too, If we are
10 he the winners of this struggle,
which, with Gods help, we will be.
1t is the women who have the hard
est part to bear, for is it not far worse
TO stay at home and work and hope for
the return of their loved ones than to
90 away and merely fight? And think
ii is simply glorious of you to ado this
extra burden upon your shoulders that
those who are fighting may receive
comfort and good cheer.
With such loyalty behind us We can
not help but win this war, and wish
YOU all success in your enterprise, and
God bless you.

let US REASON TOGETHER. .PUNTA G0RDA
and MOORE HAVEN'S INTERESTS THREATENED

known on the laws relating to
public contracts and the duties OF
county commissioner. Ask Col.
Burton if he did not get from
Commissioner Whitten certain
points that are invaluable to him
(Col. Burton) in his fight to de-
feat the efforts being made by the
Charlotte Harbor and Northern
Railroad and it's allies to stop the
building of the Charlotte Harbor
Bridge.
1t is firmly believed by this
writer that, if Mr.. Whitten is not
retained as our county commits
sioner, this bridge will not be built
in ten years; that the railroad will
win it's suit and, in winning, make
it impossible for Moore Haven to
have special road and bridge
district of it's own. For one of
the chief points on which the rail
road insists is that "over-lap-
ping" districts are illegal; and it
follows, therefore, that Moore
Haven, being a part of the Punta
Gorda district, could not be any
thing but a district "over-lap-
ping" Punta Gorda, and, conse-
quently, illegal.
In the limits of this article it is
impossible to set forth in detail
all the reasons for keeping Mr..
Whitten in office nor to answer
the criticisms made upon him.
I'VE can only call attention to
the fact that he has had in his
home state a great deal Of success
full experience as civil engineer; /;
that he has such a thorough know
ledge of the laws governing his
official duties and relating to con-
tracts for building roads and
bridges as can be acquired only
by years Of experience; that thi.
knowledge and experience are in
valuable to the people of the dis
trict, and, above all, that he is
HONEST.
1t is our sincere belief that, if
the people of this district do not
keep Mr.. Whitten in his present
position, they will make a very
serious mistake.
