Work on, however small your sphere
may be.
Know this: True service is the best
Of life.
And, though the path from thorns be
never free.
The thought of duty done with
peace is rife.
The seed you SOW today may help to
The hungry, though its harvest
others reap.
The fabrics that you weave may stay
the need
OF some poor shivering being in
Gods keep.
The stone you lay may help to raise
the wall
That will a flood Of instruction
quell.
The word you trace, however poor and
small,
May help the tide of human thought
to swell
In the white glory of some infinite
day
You may, with mind made great to
comprehend,
Gauge the full meaning of this inter-
play
OF many forces working toward one
end.
And even though you never grasp it
all,
Still be content to do the best you
can,
Trusting that whatsoever may befall
Is but a part Of the eternal plan.

terms Of peace on a former occasion
In addressing the senate on January

war was actually declared, President
Wilson said

only a peace between equals can
last; only peace the very prin-

I'm spite Of these sounding and
idealistic phrases, the armies of the
allies were victorious over the Huns,
although the victory was not as
crushing and complete as they would
have made it if the hand Of Foch had
not been stayed by the signing of the
al mistice. We know now that there
should have been no armistice, that
Foch should have been permitted to
carry out his plan which inside of ten
days would have routed the German
army. and that Foch himself should
have dictated the terms of peace in
Berlin. That is what should have
been, but as the armistice plan was
adopted, largely through the influence
of President Wilson. it should have

There should have been no haggling
over terms of reparation and boundar-

IL ng attitude Of the president, the
allies were in mood to impose terms
in keeping with the enormity Of Ger
man crimes and inhuman conduct, in
short, to impose absolute justice. But
again the president interposed, this
time with his visionary league of ma

mitted to have his way. Months have
been consumed in discussion, en-

fact, Germany is practically in that
position today and it Is doubtful If

Recalling the presidents words
quoted above and reviewing his atti-

Washington Sept. 1.-The request of
the senate foreign relations committed
for the latest drafts of the proposed

ground that compliance would set a

president undoubtedly had authority
from the senate If he chose.

GOVERNOR HAS
NO TR0l)BLEAT
LABOR PICNIC
Speaks on mission of Organ
lied Labor" and Declares
That Labor Has Sympathy
of All When it Is Rational.

Governor Cats spoke at the Labor
Day picnic at Palmetto Beach yester-
day afternoon. his subject being THE
NISSAN of Organized Labor"
There was no disturbance of any
kind and several hundred people lis
tened to the states chief executive
speak. Sheriff Van Pelt was on hand.
but no deputies were in evidence, al
though it was understood that means
had been provided to deal with any
disturbance. Preceding the governor,
T. W. Harrel1, of the boilermakers
local, spoke at some length, his theme
being that labor would ultimately
control all industry.
The picnic was successful in every
way. The races were run off in sched-
uIed order, the ball game was good.
and the evening was spent in dancing
at the pavilion. Music was furnished
by O,Brien Motta. In the afternoon
the Eighth Artillery Band played
Governor Cats arrived on the
grounds before o'clock and some
argument developed as to whether he
should be allowed to speak in the
pavilion or under the trees. He de-
clared that he would speak under the
trees, and at o'clock, the hour an
nounced, moved out under the trees
near the entrance. Mr.. HarreH spoke
and introduced the governor.
The governors speech was mainly
taken up with employing the propo-
sition that so long as labor pursued
rational course, and did not strike ex-
cept as a last resort. it would always
have the sympathy of the people. He
declared himself in sympathy with the
striking miners at Barlow and declared
that Peter o. Knight, counsel for the
mine owners, did not dare to walk
through the streets of Tampa.
The governor spoke OF national az
fairs briefly, saying that he believed
Shantung should be given to China
and that the people OF the United
states would go to war against Japan
If that country presisted in claiming
Shantung.
Preceding the speaking several
foot races were run off, prizes being
distributed as follows: Boys cake
eating contest, to F. L. McGamin;
shoe-mixing contest. to A. T. T1nnss
