The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-11-14
SATURDAY NIGHT

All thought and all interest the world over are
now conferred on Washington. Men and women
everywhere are joining in the prayer that at least
definite step can and will be taken toward uni
versal peace These are momentous times; the
Washington conference is even of greater import
ance than the Versailles conference in that the
gathering in the beautiful French city was for the
purpose of laying down the terms to a beaten foe
whereas the Washington assembly of world states
men is designed to open up some way to encom-
pass the disenthronement of the War God whose
reign is yet undisputed and who so far has not
been compelled to ask for mercy or profer terms
of surrender. In some respects the conference that
opened today at the national capital is the most
important event in our history save of course our
coming into being. 1t may be that through Gods
good providence this nation may be honored in
leading the way toward better International I'M
Outstanding, the forerunner of universal brother
hood. War is bred of misunderstanding and
ignorance there is also the element of national sell
hshness a selhshness that has existed age after age
among the European nations. Our own skirts
may not be clear in this regard but tremendous
pressure is being brought to bear on the United
States delegation in the direction of pointing the
way toward mutual understanding by making
the first advances. We must have faith in those
men assembled in Washington today; we must be-
lieve that there is solution for every kind of diff
fculty whether it be in commerce, in industry in
the science of government. The application of
the Golden Rule would be most helpful in reach
ing a solution.

There is another angle of practical nature
that is not to be lost sight of in these deliberations.
Unquestionably Great Britain, Japan, Italy and
the United States are anxious TO unload the bur-
den of naval upkeep and naval increase, that
killing whose goal is national bankruptcy and
whose toll consists of sorrow and death The
same holds true of those nations who feel that
they must go on and on shouldering the burden of
army maintenance lest some other nation turn and

While the proposed bond issue to provide much
needed additional hospital accommodations for
Lakeland was defeated at the polls by the free
holders voting Thursday, there is undoubtedly a
sentiment in favor of doing something The stu
alton has become acute and unless something is
done to improve conditions Lakeland is sure to
be the loser. Manifestly we cannot close our
doors against our brothers and sisters in Polk

metropolis of Polk county, Lakeland is looked to
not only as a trade center but as the well-spring
of welfare work as affecting the entire county. We
cannot afford to lose ight of the fact that we are
unable to live unto ourselves alone whether it be

Daily Poem
TIE sRELIARLEo Wan


Here's to the steadfast, reliable man,
The man with the tongue that's
true,
Who won't promise to do any more
than he can,
But who'll do what he says he'll
do.
He may not be clever; he's often
quite blunt,
Without either polish or air;
But, though it's not in him to put
up a 'front.'
When you need him he's always
there.
So here to the man on whom one
can rely,
And here's to his lasting success!
May his species continue to multiply
And his shadow never grow lessi
