rank high as intellectual journals.
The outstanding feature that marks
every local paper is it's intense loyalty
to its own community. If there Is any

the prosperity of the community. the
newspaper published in that particular

And they are all loyal to Floridai
What this state would have been with
out its intelligent, enterprising and
loyal press is difficult to conjecture,
but one thing is certain, very few peo@
pie of the country and the world
would have ever heard of Florida, ex-
cept, perhaps, through the geograZ
phies, had it not been for the persis-
tent work of Florida newspapers who,
in season and out of season, have
resources, until Florida is now the
most talked of state in the union. 1t
is to the Florida newspapers that we
owe the fact that Florida is now very
securely on the map of the world.
One surprising thing about Florida
newspapers is that there is very little
jealousy among them, either for their
own publications or for their commun-
&c

carried on in the utmost good nature
and the debate leaves no sting behind.

stanter.
The Herald is one of the Florida
napers that aims always to stand 10y
ally behind its own community ana
the state and to be ready to help any
part or section of the state. and II can
say with years of careful observation
TO back 1t, that all its brethren OF the
state press are of the same nina.
Perhaps the people OF Fiorlda 90 not
sully realize it, but they ought TO know
that they are much better served IN
the way of newspapers than IS the
average state of this union. IL they
fully realized all that the state press
has done for the state perhaps they
would be more appreciative Oh the
work the newspaper men and women
are doing for them.-Miami Herald.

If We We're In The League

Senator Harding casts his eye over

lies and associated nations as an act
OF simple justice and emancipation
and thanks God that we are not in
Volved in the affair.
We are involved in it. We, more
than any other people, demanded
that the Poles should have their own
country again. President Wilson ex-
pressed the demand, but there was
not an American who had not SYM
pathlzed with the Poles in their con-
quest by Russia. Prussia and Aus
tria and there was not one who did
not applaud enthusiastically the de-
mand of the President that they
should be free. Our honor is pied
ged to the freedom of Poland, and
Mr.. Harding and the Republicans re-
pudiate the pledge. The Public Led
ger says I'VE are not an unconcerned
by5tander," but its candidate and It's
party say we are.
Had We ratified the treaty ana en-
tered - League the outrage on Po-
ham. you'd in all probability not have
| ....I committed. The Russians have
.dken advantage of the fact that the
| entente Powers are divided. Had we
stood with France and England the
Bolshevists would have been less
bold. They have started out to con
quer western Europe because the
United States has repudiated its OBJ
| legations and separated from France
and England. The existence of a sol
id and compact Entente would have
deferred Moscow.
| Already the Presidents note on the
Polish situation, handicapped as he i!
by Republican Congress, has done
some good. 1t has smoothed ovel
the differences between France ant
| England. 1t has afforded some en-
| enlargement TO the masses Of thu
Russian people, under the iron hee
d . .sspoLlsm immeasurably wors'
nat that of the Romanoffs. The de
claration that the Moscow soviet viii
not be recognized as a government in
spires faint hope in the breasts o
its millions of victims. His oppost
ton to any dismemberment of Russi;
apart from the independence of Pc
land, Finland and enia, stirs tn
pride and patriotism of the Russian
lpeople in the greatness of their coun
Try.
AS the Republicans see fit to rep
resent that membership in the Lea
que of Nations would involve us il
every breach of the peace in Europe
it is interesting to see what Lloy'
George said in his speech on Polant
on this obligation of membership:
The whole governing and root idei
of that covenant, as | understand 1t
does not contemplate, necessarily
7 military action in support OF an i'm
'periled nation; it contemplates eco
nomic action and pressure. 1t con
templates support of the struggling
people, and when it is said that j
you give any support at all to Polan'
it involves a great war, with con
scription and all the mechanism o
war with which we have been SO pail
fully acquainted during the last fey
years, that is inconsistent with tn
whole theory of the covenant int
which we have entered. 1t contem
