STATE DIVISION

For more than fifty years state di'
vision has come to the front in Flor
ida, and again it is up for discussion.
A resolution was recently introduc,
ed in the legislature by a west Flor
ida member asking for division.
The settled conviction seems to be
that it would be better for both sec.
lions, as the interests and diversifi-
cations of the two are so entirely diff
ferent.
Without republican member in
the legislature, and without repub-
lican majority in single county in
this state, some of the members of
the legislature are apprehensive that
if the state is divided that south Flor.
ida would give a republican majority
and thereby break the traditions Of
the "solid south"
A study of the statistics ought to
quiet any such apprehensions.
A division of the state would be
beneficial to both sections.

MARVELLOUS ACHIEVEMENTS


One hundred years ago the first
vessel propelled by steam crossed the
ocean. 1t was a great achievement
and revolutionized ocean traffic.
One hundred years afterwards a
flight is made across the ocean in an
airship which is still more marvel
GUS achievement.
When the globe was belted with
electric wires, over mountains and
under seas, the world stood aghast
and thought that the limit of scien-
tific achievement had been reached,
but not so.
Soon messages we're sent without
wires and caught by ships at sea,
and the human voice is heard now
nearly around the world and many
believe that we are just entering the
vestibule of scientific discovery and
invention.
Those who are to live after US
are going to behold wonderful things.

This definition of the PRESIDENT
powers in respect to the negotiation
OF treaties was made by John C,
Spooner, republican senator from
Wisconsin, and admittedly one of the
abiest constitutional lawyers who ey-
er sat in either house of congress. on
Jan. %, 1906.
Henry Cabot Lodge, the present re-
publican leader of the senate. was
SO impressed by Senator Spooner's
argument that in the course of a
speech made the next day on the
same subject he said:
Mr.. President, | am entirely con-
sclous of the great difficulty involved
In following the senator from Wiscon-
sin in the discussion of the import-
ant subject upon which he spoke to
the senate yesterday. | quite realize
that after the manner in which he
dealt with those questions, anything
tnat | may say is in great danger
OF being an .anti-climax When the
senator from Wisconsin has reaped
there is very little left for any one
else to CLEAN
But to make sure that there could
be no possible doubt of his complete
approval of the Spooner argument.
Senator Lodge added:
We have no possible right to
break suddenly into the middle of
negotiation and demand from the
president what instructions he has
given to his representative. That
part of treaty-making is no concern
of ours
These words of republican wiz
dom in respect to the treaty-making
power of the United States are re-
spectfully submitted to those repub-
l1can senator's who are demanding
that the president submit to them
at once treaty of peace that has
not yet been negotiated, and are also
threatening to intervene in the Paris
negotiations by framing amendments
of their own and sending them to the
peace conference.
Such action on the part of repub-
lican senator's might be very helpful
to the Germans as evidence that the
treaty-making power of the United
States government is divided and null
lifted. It might well serve to embar
rass the conference, which is still
struggling over the most difficult
problems that diplomacy has ever
been called upon to solve. It might
greatly stimulate the bolsheviki, to
whom it would be further proof that
no peace can be expected from .capi-
