DIVIDE Y PERDERAS

/ En- cuanto al mejoramiento profesio-

no debemos estar divididos. Sin negar
las grandes ventajas que aportaria una
Association de Maestros respectable Y

sin ella los Maestros pueden progresar.

jo en- el case que vamos a citar
Hay en- este pueblo dos Maestros Ru-
rales; los dos obtuvieron su diploma
de octave grado Sc examinaron para
obtener Ia Hcencia del cargo que des-
empenan. Los dos son excelentes macs
tros. Cuando los viriles maestros de Jun
cos iniriaron el movimiento en- pro del
aumento de salario, todos los de Vega
Baja les secundamos; pero solo estos
dos maestros, Sc lanzaron la Prensa

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-05-12

Says the Lakeland Telegram:
"Ocala sent beautiful and charming
lady over to the state horticultural
meeting at Orlando, and when she
got up and fired a poetical invitation
at those horny-handed horticulturists,
they fell over themselves in their
eagerness to accept her invitation TO
meet next year in the Brick City.
Lakeland wanted that convention and
doubtless would have gotten it had
Ocala not played this trump card, but
we'll know what it takes to win next
time"

The peace treaty is patchwork of
compromises. 1t loads on the Ger
mans a burden that will not crush
them, but will make them work all
the more eagerly to prepare for an
other war so they can throw off the
load. 1t docs not adequately protect
France and Belgium, and doesn't give
Poland fair chance. 1t creates a
new eastern question, much worse
than the old one. 1t gives Japan a
real grievance against America. 1t
is good peace for Great Britain and
a bad one for everybody else. If
there is not another and much more
frightful war in less than twenty
years, it will be not because of the
wisdom of the statesmen who drew up
the treaty, but because the people in
crease in wisdom much more rapidly
than anyone has any reason to expect.

Dear Doc:

We have an American Legion or

out no charter, as we believed that
our home posts were entitled to 1t.

A REAL WELCOME

Cordele gave the visiting railway
employees of the Georgia Southern
& Florida real welcome today Two
special trains loaded with the plea
sure seekers alighted on schedule
time in the midst of the blowing OF
Whistles and much noise. They smiled
broadly as they alighted and loaded
themselves into the automobiles
about the union station and were
taken to the school auditorium for the
speaking exercises
1t was a big crowd out for days
pleasures and on all sides they got
real south Georgia welcome. Cor
dele had prepared for them in the
right sort of way and they must have
had a good day of it. Not in boast
ing spirit would we say it, but it was
with community pride that the occa
sion was handled.
These hundreds of rail employees
are in a sense tied to our community
for they come and go regularly in the
fulfilment of their daily duties. They
know Cordele in business way
have known us for many years. 1t
is more than a quarter of a century
since some of them started with this
splendid line, but today many of them
got their first social touch.
We are glad they found day OF
pleasure among us. The local rail
employees found q ready response
10 their plans for a day here and it
was a good one. The local committee
on arrangement and the heads Of the
line found all they could hope for in
the pleasures that were arranged
and made possible.
Everybody was made happy that
Il pleasant occasion could be pro-
Y dsd. We hope the visitors will have
another occasion in the future when
they can come again.

THE ONLY PRESENT HOPE

Twenty years at his post, Senator
McCumber, republican, of North
Dakota, member of the fireign rela-
tons committee, told the senate yes
terday that the league covenant Of
fers the only present hope of pre-
venting future and more terrible
wars.
The every day reader can well af-
ford to go with him through these
salient points made in a most power
full address yesterday in answer to
the wild and wolly Knox:
I'm twenty years of service in the
senate" said the North Dakota sen.
ator Il have known but one instru-
ment whose terms have been so will
fully misinterpreted and so grossly
msrepresented as the covenant of the
league of nations. 1t is regrettable
that the mighty power of eloquence Il
used to defame and distort the true
meaning of an instrument the most
important that ever appealed to the
heart or the soul of men.
Suppose We now refuse to Join with
the rest of the world in some scheme
to prevent war what will happen?
las surely as the sun shall rise
every great nation will proceed to de-
wise means for the wholesale destruc.
ton of nations. SO desperate will he

continued, that is not equally in

or course. no one of us would have
written this covenant just as it has

And to secure the support of this
country, special concessions have been
made to us. Our Monroe doctrine is

strument that the United States would
be compelled to help Great Britain

Referring TO charges that the Unit

in the league because it has only one
vote. the speaker said the important
decisions would be made in the coun
