According to state newspapers the
new primers ordered by the school
book committee have some wonderful
changes and notable revision features,
which show the necessity for people
buying new books. For instance a
sentence, mamma loves baby" is
said to have been changed to "Baby
loves mamma" which of course is
worth the 100000 the change costs
except for the fact that the new state
ment is untrue. Babies know nothing
of love and cling to the nurse or foster
parent for a year or two instinctively.
Times Union.
A severe but well-deserved criticism
of the authors" who write syndicate
stuff for the publishing houses. School
books are not prepared with the care
full intelligence that was lavished upon
them up to some twenty-five years
ago. The idea now is quantity more
than quality. There is very little
necessity for changing school books
as often as is done, anyhow. History
needs to be added to and geography
changed, but grammar and mathe-
MATES never change, and literature
and spelling change very little. The
honest-to-goodness reason for chang
ing school books so often is to make
money for the publishing houses.

Work for Florida

When it comes to specific instances
e direct material benefits to Florida,
one needs only to inquire at the de-
partments to find that Senator Flet-
cher has been behind everyone of
them. Comparisons in the matter of
service are not permissible, but the
record shows that Floridians have
cause for being proud of and grateful
of the record of their senior senator.
Camp Johnston is his work, unques-
tionably; Dinner Key, Cutler and Ar
cadia stations he took an active part
in establishing-beginning with hav-
ing the sites inspected and following
the matters to successful conclusion.
Other work that may be partially
credited to him includes:
The fisheries station at Key West,
improvements and extensions on the
reservations, Improvement of the
channel in the harbor and the like;
establishment of the Pensacola naval
air stations, of the various shipyards,
Improvement of rivers and harbors of
the state and general development of
the shipbuilding industry at Tampa,

elsewhere. He is pursuing further de-
velopment in this important direction.
Extension of yards, marine railways
and drydocks are among the things
he is pressing. Erection of public
buildings in Florida are also to his
credit-in part.
No man in the country is entitled to
the credit which belongs to him for

The Farm Loan Act

He is a member of the committee
on banking and currency, placed there
by request of members, in order that
they might have the benefit of his ser
vices and knowledge in connection
with the operation of the farm loan
act. He originated the whole subject
of rural credits-financial relief to
the farmers. He introduced the first
bill on the subject. He was chairman
of the American commission of two
from each state. and of the United
States commission appointed by Pres
ident Wilson to cooperate with the
American commission in a tour of Eu-
ropean countries and a study of the
various systems of agricultural f.
nance in operation in the older coun-
tries. The commission collected a
mass of material, which he had print
ed as public document, comprising a
thousand pages, and which formed the
basis of the legislation under which
the farmers of the country are now
having their needs met at five per
cent. per annum interest, with one per
cent, amortiZation-paying off princ1-
pal and interest at a total charge of
six per cent per annum on the money
borrowed.
Millions have been advanced to farm
ers throughout the country on that
basis, under the law which he. more
than any other man, is responsible for.

SENATOR ID. L. FLETCHER
CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMAN
From Frank L. Huffaker's who's
Who in Florida


At no time in the history of the
nation has there been a more impera-
tive demand for the services of Am
erican-sized patriots at Washington
than during the recent war-torn per-
icd-for men who were courageous
and knew how to use their courage to
the advantage of the people and their
allies. 1t has been time for level
headed, constructive action-not for
pyrotechnics-and the shortcomings
of those who were weighed and found
wanting" have been woefully evident
to themselves and benefcially evident
to their electors.
There have been some instances IN
which Florida representatives were
accused of acts that were not Ameri-
can-sized, but it is not the object OF
this article to criticize those gentle
men. In all his acts, official and pri-
vate, however, one member of the
Florida delegation has marched shoul-
der to shoulder with the boys who
wrested victory from the Hun. That
member is
Duncan u. Fletcher, senior senator,
than whom no member of recent year
congresses has contributed more to
the people of the nation and state in
peace or war time.

London Proposed By
Lloyd George and No
body Objected to 1t.

Paris, Monday, July Z. - The
agreement reached by the allied
council that the trial of = former
Emperor William would be held in
London, as announced by Premier
Lloyd George in the house of com
mons, last week. was a tacit one
but from American sourcies it was
learned late today, that the agree
ment was regarded as binding.
What purports to be an unau-
thentic account of the incident in
the council upon which the British
premier based his statement, has
become available from usually
reliable source. 1t is stated that
at a meeting of the council last
week, the British premier said to
his fellow conferees something
about as follows:
''I suppose you have no objection
of the trial of the kaiser in Lon
don ?"
The premier looked around the
circle, the account continues, and
no one objected Indeed, it is said,
Premier Clemenceau gave his YER
bal approved.
This tacit agreement was never
recorded in writing and Sir Maurice
Hankey, the British secretary, did
not include it in his regular report
of the proceedings in the council.
An assumption, is however, it was
added, that Premier Lloyd George
had an official conversation on the
subject with one or more members
of the council.

suite have indicated in
with the CORES

that any negotiations from allied
quarters would be protracted for
many months without any certainty
that the Netherlands government
would consent to hand the former
kaiser over for trial.
They are almost unanimously
convinced that they are here for a
long sojourn and ara making prep
