KILL THE SERPENT.

Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign
relations committee of the United States senate
has expressed the belief that the setting up OF
stable, conservative government in Russia ana
the removal or suppression of the numerous
turbulent elements within the new republic Will
be one of the first questions the American del
egates will urge for consideration before the YER
sailles conference.
Senator Hitchcock believes that there can be
no stable world peace until Germany and Russia
are completely separated by the establishment
of line of buffer nations and the German SOL
diers and propagandists who have placed Russia
in complete state of revolution and disorganl-
zation are driven back within their own bord-
ers
According to Senator Hitchcock, until there is
an entirely new order of things in Russia and
Germany the world will be sitting upon an in
ternational bombshell that may explode and tear
the peace of Europe to atoms any moment that
the Bolsheviki can command enough money to
put through their plans
The war is by no means over, in spite of our
desire to believe that this is The chaos that
reigns in Europe indicates that it will be months,
and may be years, before real peace has been
brought about.
In the meantime, German intrigue and German
money are still taking their toll in every part
of the world

FLORIDA WATERWAYS.

The Rivers and Harbors Bill that has been pre-
scented in the House is evidently unfair to
Florida, with it's 1000 miles of shore line and
numerous harbors and rivers that are under i'm
provement, that the Florida delegation in Con-
gress going to be urged by all parts of the
state to take action in securing more equitable
appropriation bill than the now before the
House.
The appropriated in this bill for exami-
nation, upkeep and work on waterways, coast
and harbors of the section from Carrabelle to
St. Andrews Bay, inclusive of the river systems
and canal, would not pay for casual examna-
ton of this very extensive water route system,
to say nothing about doing any work thereon
The sum appropriated is that small as not to
warrant even visit from the government engi-
neers. 1t is not enough to pay the coal bills in
cident to such examination.
It is to be hoped that every newspaper in Flor
ida will take this subject up, and present it's ap
peal to our members in Congress, demanding
that they take action in the matter, and give
Florida what it is entitled to.-Panama City

CRYING AGAINST DEFEAT.

He who runs may read that it is not all to be
peace at the peace table, and those who have
pinned their faith to the president Of the United
States and his fourteen principles may well con-
graduate themselves that Wilson is today in
Europe, on the spot, instead of on the outside
cooking in
In outlining the fourteen principles upon
which the United States government believed
the peace program should be bsed, the president
lid not deviate from bis first messages to Berlin
and il is plain 10 he seen that his intentions are
tile same today as they were when these prin-
ciples were first laid down by him, speaking for
this government.
That man OF the plain people, Col. House, is
also The Job, and if there are to be differences
between The powers that be, the United States
may w5I ioei that their affairs ar . lie hands
to1ay Is thev have been Re past
strenuous months, when was as
sernbled. equipped and traieti- III su4>l q record
tine IS the weird has never before known.
Work is the measure Of the man, and the ac-
conpl;sh-norts of the army and navy Of this
co,1I1t2.- following the entrance of the United
States into the world wax, are the measure of
this nation. The record was the highest, and
the leaders who were found trustworthy then
are equally Trustworthy now.
Wilson stands before the world today its great
est citizen. His enemies claim that he has ac-
corlplished the great ends which have been his
because he has been allowed to play the auto
cTat.
They We're good ends and for their achieve
nent It was necessary to have a at the head
OF this government able enough to carry them
out and strong enough to enforce them.
Wilson proved himself to be that man. He is
q power, and he uses that power, but he uses it
fCT no selfish ends, for no personal national
aggrandizement but for the good of humanity.
He w2s placed in the high office he now holds
by the people Of the United States. He was
placed there not to serve this government as a
lackey but as . leader If he was not to lead his
place not at the helm at a time when it
needed strong man to guide the Ship of State
over the turbulent waters, tempest-tost by con-
fiict.
If Wilson is the autocrat, the people made him
so, and he is speaking for them and working for
them, against those hosts who, under their cam
o1age of criticism of the president, hope to
achieve their secret ends
These gentlemen of the long face and the
many words, who hope to Congress to their
own ends cannot fool the people, and their loud
cry of 'Autocracy" sounds to thinking people
like the tunult and the shouting that presages
defeat.

COUNCIL ENACTS NEW
SPEED REGULATIONS
Fifteen Miles Allowed Autos
In Fire Limits rs In Other
Sections.

After managing to get along without
a city ordinance regulating the speed of
travel, the city Of Salem is now safe
once again and the speed maniac is
playing for trouble, as the city council
at its meeting last evening passed city
speed ordinance, which had been re.
peale by the last legislature.
AS the ordinance now stands it is
practically the same as the old ordi-
nance, excepting that now it will be
legal TO glide along at the rate of 25
miles an hour in the city outside Of the
fire limits. Down in the business dis
trict, Is miles Is still the limit, with
the customary 10 miles while passing a
schoo! house, providing school is in ses-

The now ordinance takes up the mat
ter Of passing street cars somewhat diff
ferent Than the old. or course in pass
ing a street car going in the same di
rection as the auto, the drive must stop
his car while the street ear is taking

The new ordinance now provides that
in passing a street ear headed in the
opposite direction and taking on or un-
loading passengers, the driver Of the
automobile must come to full stop op-
pOsite :he car, and then start ahead

At the intersection Of Commercial
ana state streets and at High and
State, the new ordinance will require
additional caution. To be on the safe
side, the driver Of an automobile or any
motor vehicle might remember never to
pass a street ear while passengers are
getting on or off. If the auto is going
the opposite direction Of the street car,
the stop need be for but a moment.
