Press Comment
The Greatest League of Nations
In the World.

The greatest League of Nations the
world has ever seen, and which has
stood as model for all the world for
a century and a half is the United
States of America. The IS British
colonies which rebe1led from the
mother country and formed the orig
inal league, assumed all the rights of
sovereignty in doing so. They were
practically Independent nations. and
could join the league or not, as they
wished. Seeing the necessity of COM
bination for mutual defense they or
iginated the Articles of Confederation.
which held them together until their
independence was acknowledged by
Great Britain.
Then it began to be seen that the
Articles of Confederation were not
adequate to the needs of a nation
which aspired to place among the
nations of the world. The bonds which
tied them together were too loose;
there was a lack of CO. ordination: no
general foreign policy was possible for
it might not meet the approval of some
of the independent state, making up the
confederation; there was too much in
dependence; the central government
was weak and inefficient.
The same necessity of CO. operation
which dictated the Articles of Con-
federation to meet the pressing needs
of the Revolutionary war, brought
the fathers and wise men of the re-
public together once more and the
constitution resulted. ana the nation
was established. Concessions were
made, many of them. for the indie
pendent states were reluctant to sur
render any of their rights for the gen
eral good, and there was great diver
sity of interest between the states
which were expected to make up the
new nation. But the spirit of COM
promise ruled the meeting, conces-
sions were made and a new nation
was brought into being, nation which
has weathered all the storms of $50
years, which has successfully resisted
all assaults from within and without,
and today stands as the leading nation
of the world. That it saved civiliza-
ton in Europe is beyond question.
Henceforth the world will have a
better and truer conception of the
ideas and principles to which America
holds. That much. we gained by the
war. Perhaps it was worth the price
paid.-Tompa Times.

bonds for the building OF good roads
FOR So long a time and so persistently
and consistently. TO now 80 against
the state bond issue would he goinE
against our traditions. and we would
have TO confess that all the arguments
we have used heretofore in urging
bond isues We're insincere and fal-
lacious.
In this connection we beg to remind
the Florida Grower that 1t is in error
when If says that il stands almost
alone of the state papers in advocating
the adoption Of the constitutional
amendment for the building Of good
roads.
The Jacksonville Metropolis. the
Jacksonville Observer, Hastings Her
aid. the St Augustine Record. the Palm
Beach Post. the Titusville star. the
Motorist. the Gainesville Daily News
and any number Of paperes reaching
our exchange table are advocates q
the measure.
We feel that the defeat Of the
amendment viii prove as big a sci
back to the prosperity Of the state as
would the duplication Of the biz
freeze of 1895.

to provide for issuing State bonds only
for the purpose Of repelling invasion
or suppressing instruction or for the
purpose of redeeming or refunding
bonds already issued at a lower rate
of interest, or for the purpose of ac-
quiring, building and maintaining
throughout this state under such reg

act Of the legislature; provided, that

ance hereof for a system of good roads
and bridges shall not exceed in amount
five go per cent o. the total tax as

We hope that the wording will be
carefully studied.
According to our Interpretation the
legislature is given under the pro-
visions of this amendment very wide
latitude and it can provide ways and
means for the payment of the interest
and the final liquidation of the bonds
without levying a very burdensome
tribute on any of US.
We think that this statement would
be particularly true if the suggestion

informing themselves on political is
sues, the Tribune would urge this one
point: It makes no matter how well
posted you are, and how successful a
leader you are, you are powerless to do
any real good unless you are registered
and actually vote. No matter what the
embarrassment that may be aimed at
you by those whose advantage it is
to keep you back. you, the best women
of the city and section. owe it to your
selves and to you community to regis
ter in defiance of and as protest
against such attempts at intimidation,
and then to vote the rebuke that you
know is due the intimidators"
1t would be impossible for the press
of the state to impress upon the wo
men too forcibly the need of the white
woman vote That the women of the
state realize this is evidenced by the
number that have registered. and are
preparing themselves for the ballot.
But it must be remembered that the
south is not entirely dependent upon
the vote of its white women.

ALL SHOULD REGISTER.

In the Tampa Tribune of Thursday,
thee appears the following editorial:
I'm the Tenth ward of Jacksonville,

other two wards of the county. The
number registered in this ward up TO
Monday afternoon was 116, of which
the white registrations numbered 11S.

duty and are doing it; and we'll they

in those wards. The Times Union of

The negro vote is the logical asset OF

Will Bring the Country
To Grief.

There is a parallel between our
present economic condition and that
which followed the Civil War: the
same conditions of extravaganza and
big prices which resulted in a great
panic and years of hard times" says
Herbert Hoover in an article of help
full hints, Thrift and the American
Women" in the Ladies Home Journal.
Mr.. Hoover explains hiatt we may
hope to avaoid financial disaster which
followed the Civil War because we be-
heve our economic position much
stronger than il was in those early
days" But he warns that we are con
fronted with world conditions of up
set" which We're unknown half a CEN
fury ago.
Suggesting a remedy for the present
tendency towards extraTa gance, Mr..
Hoover says:
1T is as imperative today as il was
during the war. even more So that we
should practice thrift in all its forms.
Every one of US should cut out ex-
travagance and waste; we should save
every possible five-cent piece, even
though il was worth no more than a
postage stamp: we should put our
savings into savings bank or into the
government o rother securities or into
homes or farms.
Money that is wasted is destroyed
as if cast into a fire. and the evil re-
suits are not confined to the individ-
ual waste and his or her family, but
are in fact spread throughout society.
This is the crime and damage done by
waste.
about one-third of our people are
responsible for most of the extrava-
gance and waste in this country. It is
a heavy responsibility that they bear.
II we could convert this one third to
simple living, the problem would be
solved.
1T is the one-third who are guilty
OF extravagant eating and drinking in
public places. They spend 100000 ev-

WHY HAYS CRITICISES

" Al D
 Whenever and wherever Chairman Will Hays. of rhe republican national com mittcc makes an address these days, in the reIc-aphir reports covering the speech this lime invariably appears, He severely c1i- ticjscd the administration, " but in no single report has there been any account of Mr., Hay, presenting for credit any progressive legislation put thru by the republican con -ress. Chargiug enormous waste and cN- uavagauce against the Wilson administra- tiou. he a~~ort~ that the republican con grcss has saved the country hundreds of millions of dollars.
 The "ecouomy' of the present major ity party. however, will hardly bear close examination. How it is affecting the cou- try in at least one vital industry is well set forth iu q recent editorial in the New York Globe .rcpubIicm) relative to the refusal of congrcs~ 10 appropriate funds for aerial needs. Says the Globe:
 l. looks very much as though the United States would presently have no air craft industry. The productive capacity of all the plants combined is today only 10 per .cut of what ii was a year ago. Some factories have closed down entirely, some in part. and others are making Wheebal- rows, pLonograph cases, furniture, auto mobile and tractor parts. If our govern ment were to order army planes today it would he at least a year before any could be delivered The two hundred and fifty thousand persons employed in the indus try, in which a hundred million dollars has been invested, are rapidly being scattered, and could be replaced only with the utmost difficulty. One plant which employed IT, GOO men d few months since now uses 760. In a few months, as things look now, it may have none at alL
 These facts are significant because congress has just blocked an attempt to se- cure an emergency appropriation of $l5- 100000 for army airplane service. It Is true that there is still an appropriation of s25,OOO,OOO, but this sum will be almost wholly used in maintaining personnel and keeping up existing fields. For producing new planes the government seemingly cares nothing. For experimental work, so vital if the airplane is to play the great part 1t ought to play in our lives, Uncle Sam cares nothing. Our neglect of flying in the days before the war made it necessary for us to spend billion dollars to get the industry going during the conflict. Yet the legisIa- tors seem to have forgotten that eXperi- ence, While England is spending $33000O, GOO; while aerial service connects Paris with London and links half dozen other European cities, we stand cheerfully aside and see the whole airplane business crumple up into nothing because the gov enment will not stand by it during the necessary preliminary period before it can pay its way as a commercial venture on a wide scale. And this in America, which invented the airplane, perfected it, and gave 1t to the world!
