" sHAnIuns Why NOT FluMD

Shautung is TO become historical In
the annals Of the United States since
the revelation has been made that
President Wilson had charge Of the
settlement whereby the partition Of
China that a part OF her territory
might be given to Japan in payment
for services to the entente powers.
! The president, however, is reported to
prevent it. Still it remains that 1t was
done and that a nation which declared
war against Germany in the interests
OF the allied nations was the victim or
a secret bargain by which her terri
tory was to be given as the inducement
required TO bring Japan into the war.
1t is not suggested that the Unitea
States had knowledge or gave agree
ment TO the secret treaty viii Japan or
to those secret agreements with Italy
and in the material sense II does not
matter much to US whether or not ia
pan has Shantung or Italy has Fiume.
However our assumed and predicat-
ed position in the settlement OF the
war has been that of minister OF JUS
tice and of powerful altruist demand
ing nothing for ourselves and for others
the free self determination Of peoples.
Hence the disposition of Shantung as
the payment Of an agreed price TO Japan
against the protest OF China and the
refusal Of Fiume to Italy must cast
shadow upon the idealism that agreed
to the one but found the other iTnpos-
sible.
1t was. and still is. a ticklish situa-
ton. Japan must expand and intends
to expand. She is able to make trouble
and IL necessary 10 her expansion she
is willing to make trouble. China is
weak and disorganized in government.
The one is able from her position to
command respect thru her potentiality.
The other is in a condition to be ex-
plotted. Shantung under Jap rule Will

in the tangle Of secret treaties and
agreements to which his country had
not been a party and Of which per-

developed at the peace table, when he
found that self-interest ruled the rep

Teddy stood up with his back against

hold OF his tail with the thorn tied In

"sEARlHe PROSPERITY"

Reports from an early wheat thresh-
ing give the yield in this particular
crop at about 30 bushels an acre. 1t was
salable al about 81 to $40 a bushel.
That's Is per cent gross on $500 an
acre land. OF course out of that must
come all the expense OF the crop bus
it looks as though a man could live
and have a few necessities at that.
The corn crop prospects are excell-
ent. We should have a big corn crop
of fine quality. Corn is doing well.
1t averages a good stand. II looks like
a corn season from spring to fall. And
corn is money, big money nowadays
and will stay big money however large
the crop may turn out
Hogs are high. They Will stay high.
Some complaint IS being made on the
price Of cattle by those who bought
feeders for high prices. But taken all
around crops and livestock are money
makers and prosperity hangs high on
the farm.
Iowa is going to overrun with money
this fall Iowa is overflowing with
money right now. The six million dol
lars worth of government bonds taken
by Marshall county doesn't appear to
check the bank deposits. The fact Is
that We are obese with prosperity.
Prices are high but dollars are plenty.
There's danger in it. One Of the
hardest things to bear is prosperity.
There Is a serious danger that We for
get thrift and imagine that it will al
ways be May. 1t isn't SO. December
comes in the cycle Of years as 1t does
in the cycle of seasons. The rainy day
arrives. The frost falls and the wealth
er freezes. And it is chilly then for
those who threw away their blankets
in July.
When the change comes it win come
like a cold snap. We shall go to bed
some night and wake to find water
frozen in the wash basin. That's the
way it works il weather and II life.

Henry Ford. we believe, is a pure
minded patriot, but he has one prac-
tice that we disapprOve of. He has a
news bureau, which every day sends
out long reports of the trial at Mount
Clemens, and with them comments
favorable to Mr.. Ford. These reports,
which run from a column and half
W to two or three columns a day, are
sent to all the newspapers in the
country Mr.. Ford evidently expects
a good proportion of them to be print
ed. If they were they would give Mr.
Ford about $4,000 worth of free adj
vertising every day. Perhaps, how
ever, he is not to blame. This, like a
good many of the acts attributed to
him, may be done by some of the men
he hires to do his thinking and writ
ing for him. Nearly every rich man is
surrounded by a bunch of grafters
and the testimony at this trial is re-
vealing that poor old Henry is worse
afflicted in that respect than any
other plutocrat in America.

Joe Earman in his Palm Beach
Post tells very pretty story about
Miss Mabel Bates of Tampa, who will
graduate at the Florida College for
Women next year. Miss Bates has
been blind since she was two and a
half years old. Notwithstanding, she
has acquired at the state school for
the blind at ST. Augustine an excel
lent education, which is being finished
at the Tallahassee college. Joe is
going to lead the young lady from her
seat in the auditorium to the plat
form, where she will receive her
diploma, and says this honor will be
his salary for two years work on the
board of control Miss Bates is being
educated to be teacher in the school
for the blind. The fact that she has
received such excellent instruction in
spite of her blindness is fine recon-
mendation for two of our state insti-
tutions-the school for the blind and
the Florida College for Women.

KELSEY MAKING GOOD!
CALIFORNIA

Editor Star: There are many in
Marion county who remember o. K.
Kelsey, formerly of Lake Weir, who
for the last twelve years has resided
near here. / am glad to inform Mr..
Kelsey's Florida friends that he is
prospecting and that he enjoys the
full confidence of his neighbors and is
highly respected citizen of this
county.
Mr.. Kelsey's friends will regret to
know that through an accidental fall
from bicycle he lost his oldest boy.
His family circle is still gladdened by
the presence of four fine children, two
sons and two daughters.
Through the chance mention of my
name in local paper here Mr.. Kelsey
found me out, and took me for many
nice drives and entertained me at his
home seven miles from this town.
He said l was the third Floridian
who had come his way. The lamented
Col. c. L. Bittinger, one of the found
ers of your paper, was the first to
visit him here, followed by our banker
friend, the active and ubiquitous z.
G. Chambliss.
Many people here have been very
kind to me, but after my long sojourn
| among entire strangers it was a great
surprise and treat to meet in this
PARKWAY spot an old friend. Mr.. Kel-
sey was keen to get news about all
! the old-timers at home and asked
about them all in detail; and was
especially anxious that / should give
them his very best greetings.
In the midst of his good fortune
and beautiful surroundings, Mr.. Kel-
sey has not lost his love for Florida,
and expressed the hope that some day
he may return to live among US and
a keen desire to help develop the in
dustries of our state by applying the
| lessons learned by his experience In
California. AS a first step in such
development he told me to urge upon
our people, as the very best invest
ment, the construction of a 16-foot
concrete road from Jacksonville to
Fort Myers and plenty of short lines
or the same material.
This message did not come as a re-
suit of any prompting from me, but
as a sincere friend of our state he
wanted US to get those benefits in the
increase of land values, the increase
in the volume of old industries and
the opening of new ones which he had
actually witnessed as the result of the
| building of such concrete roads in
California. He went to that state be-
fore good roads had been built in a
systematic way and has seen that
state first issue S15,000,OO0 road
bonds by a small majority vote over
great opposition, and the results are
SO good that later S18,000,0O0 more
road bonds were authorized by popu-
lar vote and an additional $4,000, 600
debt was voted by majority vote of
six to one to put concrete roads all
other that vast state. He says that
the people have found out that the
best roads are the cheapest, and when

Some days ago it was announced
from Tallahassee that the office of
rural school inspector had been offer
ed by Gov. Cats to Senator w. T.
Cash of Taylor county. 1t is now said
that Gov. Cats offered the position to
Mr.. Cash as an inducement for his
support and that Mr.. Cash has de-
clined. This is wise in him. The of
flee of rural Inspector of schools is
about as useful as Jerry on Job of
hotels and fire warden of the ever
glades, and like them an imposition on
the people. Isn't the educational de-
partment of our state government in
helluva fix when positions in it's SER
vice can be traded off for political
support?

of the cutout is inspired by something
of the same spirit that incites cow

Some of the benches on the court
house square are becoming badly
frazzled and should be removed. The
county commissioners should also
direct that said benches never leave
the square. They were paid for with
money raised by private subscription
with the intention that they should be
used on the square and nowhere else,
and they should never be taken away
from that locality. Thousands of peo-
pie have obtained much rest and COM

so built can be definitely reckoned
upon as an investment by the tax
payer, who thus gets the benefit of a
direct and immediate betterment to
his property and the capital is pro
cured for this outlay upon the credit
of the state at much lower interest
rates than could be permitted to any
individual for private improvements.
These are the sentiments of one
who still loves Florida, and his views
are fortified by actual experience.
The good roads of California are

with sand sifted on.
