Seeing Florida.

seeing fIorIda.
Our introduction to Florida was
through the gulf port city Pensacola,
when the special train rolled into the
city at o'clock and the newspaper
people rolled out of their berths at 6.
The rest Of the day saw something do
ing every moment. Breakfast at the
cafes, tickets having been issued by
the Chamber of Commerce, a ride to
points of interest about the city and
along the gulf. The water front was
visited and the red snapper fishing
fleet presented an interesting scene to
the landsmen. The boats were just re-
turning from the fishing banks along
the Mexican coast and were filled
with red snappers, deep sea fish
which is highly priced as a food. Hun
dreds OF fishing boats, each valued at
about $4,000 are in the fleet and they
make Pensacola the greatest red snap
per fish market in the world.
Here also Is the. largest naval air
station In the south and is finish
ing station for navy air training. Two
boats were chartered for the day to
give the editors a ride on the Gulf of
Mexico, and as the boats neared the
big air station after first circling the
wreck Of the battleship Massachusetts,
which had recently been made a target
for practice Of gunnery for experiment
tai purposes, two large navy blimps
circled over the boats and dropped
wreaths of green's on the visitors. At
the station there were greeted by the
naval band, officers and guides, and a
trip of inspection was made. A spe-
cial air circus had been planned and
hydroplanes took to the air one after
another until a total of more than so
machines were circling over head, the
lighter ships performing wonderful
stunts.
The committee had planned full
day so the party was soon again
aboard ship and taken over to the
Fort Pickens where clam stew with
extras was served and an inspection of
the land batteries was made.
Florida is strong on three points
particularly: Four sections claim to be
the highest point in Florida, although
the highest elevation is less than 400
feet. Three places claim to be the
oldest, and each section claims to be
the most wonderful place in the alto
gether wonderful state. Pensacola
lays claim to being older than st. Au-
gustine, as the ruins OF the old Span
ish Fort Carlos dating back to the
early 10th century are quite near the
city. It was also used during the civil
war and is still being kept in repair.

PRESS COMMENT
Germany IS Discreet.

Germany is Discreet.
/ germany is learning the better to
NAV her diplomatic cards She has
made plumbers since her representa-
tives were first summoned to Paris
| and given copies of the proposed draft
/ Of the treaty OF Versailles. Rather
crude attempts to drive a wedge
among the allies several times made
| and as often failed. At last, she has
measurably succeeded by apparently
doing the obvious thing of trying to
meet the issues fairly and squarely.
While the war of words proceeds
among British, French and Poles over
SiIesia, Germany arranges for the first
installment of her reparations pay
ments.
The authorities in Berlin have stead
lily kept their heads while the elements
were being dashed into fury. Tacitly
invitd by Lloyd George to assist in ex-
'pelling the Poles from the coveted ter
ritory, Germany evinced an admirable
restraint. She. in common with all the
others, declares that she is relying
upon the treaty for the vindication
and protection of her rights. In this
instance, at any rate, the Berlin for
e1gn orf1ce is not inclined to consider
treaties as so many scraps of paper.
AS already intimated, we believe
that this will prove a stroke of good
policy on the part of Germany. Her
stock Is now at a low ebb in the mar
ket. She has much to gain and little
to lose by turning over a new leaf.
The days OF her military swagger are
over-at least for several generations
If she will address herself earnestly
to the task of working out the pen
alties imposed upon her, a sentiment
assuring her fair play will inevitably
grow.
Notwithstanding the handicaps Of
her situation, Germany's future is
largely In her own hands Whether
she may come back depends upon her
own conduct And gradually she is
apparently becoming aware of the sit

1t is a part of a newspapers work
to boost it's community. Any paper
which neglects this essential duty to
its home locality. is really not a news
paper and should have no place Of
standing in it's home community. Be-
cause of their peculiar service publica-
tions are called upon to publish all
kinds of articles and data, some of
which has more news value than
others. Not a little of this comes from
the county offices, such as the minutes
of the county commissioners proceed
ings, school board, etc. This is the
account OF the official acts of the peo-
pie who the people put into office to
care for their interests. The proceed
ings of these meetings should be told
the people, yet there is no reason why
the papers should be called upon to
publish this data free of charge And
yet its publication is introduced before
the legislature asking that provision
be made for the publication Of this in
formation with pay for same. some
politicians have the nerve to allude to
it as newspaper graft" and wen
wager that these same politicians
when they were running for office
soft.soaped the newspapers for all
they were worth for free publicity. It's
these kind of men who would give
nothing. but take all.
If this information is worth pub
fishing, and that it is, one can judge
from the number of requests from sub
scribers for it, it is worth paying for.
It's about the only way county or
city can repay the papers for the mis-.
sionary work they carry on for the
good of the community.-Orlando Re-
