mission ilouse gossip was more mixed than
Of late. Many of the latter said they saw
evidence of the market being oversoid and
preferred TO await rallies before pressing
the selling side. One of the main reasons
assigned for the stubborn resistance OF
corn futures to bear pressure IS the liberal
holdings of December by cash houses
against shipping sales of new grain. 1t is
estimated that shippers have taken over
100000 December ms a hedge which. With
the limited sales from the country, has
been sufficient to take the slack out OF
the market. and cause It to congest very
quickly on the breaks.

There was a rednot meeting in Tam
pa Monday night, at which the Polk
county phosphate strike was discuss
ed. Gov. Cats was there and made
one of his characteristic speeches. He
told the strikers their cause is just,
which is probably true. He denounc-
ed the mine owners for refusing to
arbitrate, and we think he was right
in that. But he went on to tell the
miners that he believed the charters
of the companies could be revoked if
they refused to arbitrate and that he
was having Attorney General Swear
ingen look up the law to that effect.
We don't believe the governor ever
said anything to the attorney general
about the matter, for if he had, he
would certainly have been told that
no such law exists. We don't believe
even the governor thinks there is
such a law. He was trying to "strin.g"
the miners, and if they are so igncr-
ant as to take any stock in such stuff,
they are badly off indeed

Major Ralph N. Green, newly ap-

rived in Jacksonville to take posses
sion of the Office. DIR. Cox says he is
yet state health officer and will not
yield possession. We hope the mat
ter will be Strengthened out and the
affairs of the board put in a shape
so it can never again be put in such
political snarl as the one in which
the governor involved it. His dispo-
sition to make political machine out
of an institution that should be en-
tirely non-factional and non-partisan
has been an imposition on the people

A YEAR AGO

A year ago, the battle of the ma
tions was raging on that zigZag front
from scissors to Rheims-that last
Hun offensive of the war, the mighty
gamble in which Germany threw the
dice for world dominion and lost.
Every preparation was made by the
Teutons in this their most gigantic
operation of the war: They had bat
tered and battered on the Allied front
had hammered and bent and twisted
it. and believed they, had worn it
thin. And so they would have had it
not been for three-Guarters of mill
ion Americans rushed with unbeliev-
able speed across the. sea, and two
hundred thousand wearied but I'M
but unbroken line that held the crest
of the Alps and the banks of the
Pave.
On the night of the greatest of the
attacks, the pitiful fool who believed
from the adulation of other fools,
that he was the "all highest" went
into a tower in sight but at a safe dis
lance from the battlefield to watch,
as he expected, his hosts break the
Allied line. He saw the barrage pour
or the Allied front a Niagara of fire
miles in length. He knew not that
the storm of steel was falling on
emptied trenches and his heart, black
and yellow, like his country's flag, re-
joiced in the destruction he believed
was sown wholesale. He believed be-
cause the return fire was feeble that
the victory was won. He saw the bar
rage lift and knew his fieldgraS
hordes, wave on wave, were pouring
forward and felt assured they would
trample over the remnants of their
enemies. Then. as a jagged sheet OF
lightning tears the skies asunder, he
saw the blaze of the long-silent Allied
guns, and his senses reeled at THEN
thunder, as with every range calcu.
lated to an inch they sent tornadoes
IF destruction into his bewildered anC
reeling hosts. And the morning broke
on blinded, bleeding and retreatine
army that was never able to advance
again.
1t was year ago this week thai
began that great Allied offensive
that went on day after day, from the
North Sea to the Vosges, that never
stopped, that could hardly be checked
an hour, until the Hun, bully in vic
tory, craven in defeat, begged fol
cessation of the blows that from
! Americans, French, British, Belgian
and Italians, rained necessarily upol
his shrinking battalions.
The week of a year ago was tn,
most momentous in the history of tn,
world, and long should the nation
that fought side by side to save civ
ilization remember their united valo
that delivered them from malignan
oppression and resolve that no matte
what comes they will all stand to
gether for the safety of humanity.

The worst result of the war is the
spirit of passion and prejudice which
it has aroused and which manifests
itself to a greater degree than has
ever been known since the world be-
came what was considered civilized.
It is very little use to appeal to either

justice or fair play, even in America.
Men are doing whats they have the
power to do, with liStle respect to
right or reason. 1t is true that they
generally pay enough attention to the
to say they are
right, but it is evident from their &C
tons that they do not care whether
they are or not. 1t will be many
years before the world returns to its
normal condition.

1t was quite interesting to see how
the vets came out in Congress the
other day. They went in with various
measures to amend wartime prohibi-
ton, and were quite confidence they
were going to win, but were showed
under by majorities of three votes in
five. The near-beer amendment espec-
tally was knocked out by Isl votes to
90. The vets might as we'll take their
medicine. It is the only thing they
can get with kick in it.

There is evidently lot of lying be-
ing done on both sides about that
strike in the South Florida phosphate
fields. But we don't think there is
much doubt that the miners were
oTerworked and underpaid, and the
mine owners are decidedly wrong in
refusing to arbitrate.
