a SOUTH AMERIcAN FIREBRAND.

This government is seeking to bring a con-
cert of influence from South American republics
Ito bear on securing a settlement of the dispute
between Chile and Peru. There are other rea-
sons than national altruism for this action. We
do most certainly desire a settlement of this dis
ipute and a showing Of a disposition toward
lamicable adjustment of such dispates in South
Here are some facts that our govern
ment managers of foreign affairs have to con-
slider: Great Britain aud France have had
large interests in South America, Central
America and Mexico these many years. They
have experienced much annoyance and many
losses due to the internal troubles OF the ma
Itions in which their interests lie. Consider, for
instance, Mexico. Carranza is in power there
due to the action of this government. We did
not put him there but President Wilson enabled
him to get what he prevented another man from
holding. President Wilson has had no graft
tude shown him by Carranza nor even cooper
alive spirit. But Mexico is protected as are the
South American republics by the shade of the
Monroe doctrine. Great Britain and France
have been patient and courteous toward this
doctrine and toward watchful waiting. But
lust now an outbreak in this hemisphere might
easily suggest to some European statesmen that
in our kindness to democracy but hostility to
bolshevism, we should be more consistent it, as
we cooperate in bringing to docile peace Ger
manv. Austria and later the Russian provinces,
we took stock of our own hemisphere to see if
it is safe at all times for the. business and
of free nations. 1t would not add
to the triumph of American diplomacy and ac-
with its policies just now to have
Chile and Peru start a war which for all its
proportions would have the potency
of a frebrand.

period not beyond twenty-one months
after the signing of peace. 1t was an
experiment dictated by circumstances,
and it has been largely successful. To
extend the period from tweEty-one
months to five years would merely at
ford congress the opportunity for pro
crastination. 1t would be tempted to
let matters drift, postponing to the fu-
ture what should be ndone with dill
gence. The uncertainty that prevails
today would be needlessly prolonged.

Fifteen Protestant denominations represent
ed at a recent conference at Philadelphia heard
Bishop Talbot, of the Bethlehem diocese, insist
that an organic union Of churches could alone
avert a revolt of the laymen. Only as one body,
he declared, can we appeal to men as the mis-
sion of Christ on earth; and the prevalent de-
sire in the United States for such a union is the
greatest boon conferred upon us by the war.
Other speakers urged that there must be no
patchwork of concession in the plan but that
unity must come as an outward acknowledge
Iment of an inward fact.

M,Apoo,s RAILROAD PLAN.

New York Times: Il do not, or have
not at least, felt that it was necessary
to take the actual ownership Of the
railroads." says Mr.. McAdoo, and then
he recommends to congress a plan
which, if it mad been put forth by a
convention of socialists called to rec
Iommenu ano promote g~o"ernEen,
ownership, would everywhere have
Eeen recognized as well contrived,
adriot, and, if accepted, sufficient to
accomplish its purpose.
That Mr.. McAdoo intends by this
plan to start the country on its way to
government ownership is not to be as
sumed or believed. That the adoption
of his plan would lead straight to gov
eminent ownership can hardly be
doubted. The problem confronts us,
this is the solution of it,

UNIFORM COURSE
|OF STUDY, PUBLIC
SCHOOLS OF STATE

State Superintendent Sheats on June
1st sent out a circular letter making
an assessment on each county in the
state to raise a fund with which to
prepare the stare uniform course of
study, in compliance with resolutions
adopted by the conference of superin-
tendents and school officers held at
Gainesville on May 10th.
An assessment of not less than So
was levied on each county, the assess
ments varying from SIS to s135 for
Duval county, being at the rate of
about So for every million dollars OF
the countys assessment for taxes.
The different counties are respond
ing very readily, about one half hay-
ing already sent in their assessment,
and every county, with the exception
of two, has notified the state superln~
tendent that its assessment would be
paid promptly. Only two counties
have not been heard from up TO date.
Seeing that the money was assured
for meeting the expenses OF preparing
this state course of study, the state
superintendent appointed the following
commission to meet in Tallahassee on
June 25th to begin the preparation OF
this work: High school principals, j.
H. Workman. ]. NJ. Guilliams, r. NJ.
Evans and High School Inspector w.
S. Cawthon: county superintendent,
P. G. Shaver and c. r. NJ. Sheppard;

spectors S. Phillips and r. L. Turner;
representatives of primary schools.
Miss Maud Schwalmeyer, Mrs. Stella
p Arlington and Miss Nellie c. Ste
vens: representatives of vocational
education, Miss Agnes Ellen Harris.
Miss Gertrude York, Miss Marjorie
Leach, and Prof. w. L. Floyd, of the
University of Florida. This makes a
commission of eighteen members, all
of whom have accepted the appoint
ment and have signified their intention
of being in Tallahassee on the morn
ing of June 25th to begin the prepa-
ration of the state uniform course of
study.
State Superintendent Sheats has
written to twenty-one states and TWEEN
ty-one cities of the United States.
mostly of the second class, requesting
printed copies of their courses of study
to aid the commission in the prosecu-
ton of their work.
This course OF study is to be pre-
pared and printed as speedily as pos
sible, and it seems that the state will
soon have a uniform course of study
ready reaching from the primary on
through the high school grades.

NEW YORK COLON.

NSW YORK, June 19.-There was
a renewal of yesterdays selling move
ment at the opening of the cotton
market today owing to the continued
good weather and in anticipation of
a very favorable weekly report from
the weather bureau. Houses with
western connections were sellers of
July, presumably in the way of liqui-
dalton, and Liverpool was a seller Of
new crop months believed to repre-
sent straddle business between the
two markets. First prices were barely
steady with August showing a decline
of 40 points and other months Is to
26 points lower.
The weekly report of the weather
bureau proved quite as favorable as
expected regarding the immediate
crop, but again mentioned increasing
numbers of boil weevil in Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi. 1t seemed
that its favorable features had been
discounted as It brought in no selling
of consequence and the market firmed
up after it's publication on covering
which was promoted by private COM
plants of drouthy weather and high
temperatures in the southwest. July
advanced to 25.97 and October to 2415
or Is to Is points net higher.
