a warning to American motherhood.

The god of war, with League of
Nations" on his helmet, was represent
ed as leaning over mother at the
cradle of her child One hand clasped
a modern army rifle, with it's murder
Gus looking bayonet, the other touch
ed her on the shoulder. Mars is say
ing, "Your son will be fighting liquid
fire and deadly gas on the battle fields
of Europe some day.
The purpose of the cartoon was, of
course, to show the danger that turks
in the League of Nations, if America
becomes a party to it. AS matter
of fact, Mr.. Hearst's clever artist
made as strong an argument as any
one could wish for the League of Ma
tionS.
A natiOnal policy of nearly one
hundred and fifty years and our
boosted isolation did not keep us out
of the last war. Without a League
of Nations to maintain peace, another
world war is inevitable. 1t is even
now brewing. Babies in their cradles
boy babies, at least-will certainly
be fighting liquid fire, deadly gas and
worse things on the battle fields of Eu-
rope if we decide to "rock along" and
hope for the best, instead Of doing our
duty, both to ourselves and other ma
lions, by helping to prevent wars in
the future.

STANDING BY.

There is nautical term called
standing by" 1t means that when
sister ship on the sea is in diff
culties and another vessel hears of
her troubles, she comes up and
islands by" in order to render what
ever aid she can. Behind this ex-
preston of standing by is valuable
lesson for our guidance in our daily
contact with the world.
Few of us ever hesitate to stand by
when real necessity arises. But the
real thing is to show interest when
it is not looked for. This is one of
the finest thoughts that can be i'm.
agined. Showing interest in our
friends and neighbors is the truest
thing one may do to prove loyalty.
1t matters not how little the thing

Knocking West Florida.

The Tampa Tribune, as one of the
big papers of Florida, intended to
circulate all over the state and treat
all parts of it in the broad spirit OF
metropolitan journalism, should cure
itself of the bad habit of indiVidus
sectional criticism and cease to sneer
at West FLORIDA as an inferior and
non-progressive part OF the state that
should conduct itself with proper hui
mility as an appanage of the'rich and
lordly citrus belt.
We suspect that the Tribune knows
precious little about West Florida
and its resources, but whether it does
or not we can assure it that our sec
ton of the state, while differing
somewhat in the character of its pro-
ducts, is splendidly rich and varied in
resources, is settled by as good peo-
pie as the best in South Florida, is
steadily developing and we are in all
ways worthy Of tie natural alliance
with the peninsula further south
which geography has imposed upon
us.
We lasent the slurs of the Tribune
/ in which it is frequently indulgine
here of late in connection with tho
proposed constitutional amendment
and suggest that oven If its amblt
ion is to be merely a south Floridi
paper instead of a paper for all Flor
ida, it would be in better taste Il
ignore us entirely rather than tt
gratutiously disparage us. We great
ly admire the Tribune in all respect
save the one mentioned, and trus
that our kindly adominition fill ne
call it to a sense of its duty as bi
non-sectional state VIDE journal. -

eJOHNSON'S ARGUMENT
AGAINST BOND ISSUE

(The following article written by
Senator ]. B. Johnson, of Live Oak,
deals with the proposal to amend the
state constitution to provide for is
suance of bonds for building roads,
and presents some angles overlooked
by both proponents and opponents of
the proposed amendment. The al
ticle first appeared in the Florida
Times Union.-Ed.)
Editor Times-UnioH: On the pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
authorize the legislature to issue
road bonds equal to five per cent. of
the assessed value in the state:
In the writer's opinion this is a
most dangerous ard unbusinesslike
provision to be incorporated in the
organic law of the state. 1t would
be infinitely better and more logical
to propose and adopt constitutional
amendment to bond the state for
$5O,OOO,0O0 for the construction OF
definitely proposed roads out OF
brick, concrete or other permanent
material than to incorporate tbs
proposition of a continuous issuance

of bends without allowing the voters
IA chance to express their approval
or disapproval.
The good roads enthusiasts want
roads. They feel they must have
roads. They feel that no price is too
high to pay to get roads. They are
vaguely conscious that it is going to
take money and an amending supply.
1t is easy to sell folks on credit
If they are figuring on what this
constitutional amendment can be
made to yield, and I presume they
are figuring, they reach about the
following result:
Present state valuation, 100000
900; bonds s20,OOO,0OO
This money spent and less than
/ 500 miles of permanent road con-
strueted. Not enough to reach from
/ Pensacola to Miami. Other sections
of the state insisting that they are
entitled TO some roads too.
Force assessment in the state to
/ full value. Result:
Valuation 81 900, 100000 or more,
additional bonds $30,O0O,OO0.
Of-course, after the first 100000
! 900 has been issued the subsequent
issues will be for smaller amounts
authorized at each ensuing session OF
the legislature. After the first $780,
100000 have been issued and spent,
where we do not know, then there
will be a wild scramble by other sec
lions of the state to get their share.
At this point the trading in the leg
islature begins. About this time the
bills authorizing the issue of bonds
will provide that the proceeds shall
be spent on definite roads. At each
session of the Legislature the longest
pole will get the persimmon, 1t will
be every fellow for himself and the
strong will eat up the weak, and all
will have to pay the bill, including
those who get nothing. The state
will be involved in an enormous fix

with Apologies to Walt Masnr)
In country-sides and byways the
state bonds for highways are favored
by the people more or less, while all
the opposition to the good roads
proposition is coming from the cities
and She press. The writing statisti-
clans ard schemllg politicians think
we all are going to die of license
pains, but the Packard driving
hordes and the owners of our Ads
are begging to be taxed to brick the
lanes. That two-m.ll highway tax
now levied on our shacks will come
off when we bond the auto fees, and
wen meet the federal aid offered to
us on a spade, and Wen ride no
more in mud up to our knees.
Don't you give the legislature power
of such mighty nature" cry the
men who talk a lot but do not know
that the solons in this state have the
power to fix the rate of our taxes,
and they had it long ago. The silly
way they fight it makes the people
kind O. like it, and they're going to
put it over in the fell, for there is no
danger to it, no matter how you
