LAKELAND IS READY

Those who are in a position to know, agree
in preparing for the annual invasion of winter
visitors. Heretofore this city has paid very little
attention to the tourist business, extending cordial
welcome it is true. to all who sought our hospi-
aly. but not strcsslng entertainments amusement
or special accommodations But the realization
has come that our fellow Americans from less
favored sections of the country have a right to
enjoy the best that nature has lavshed upon this
section of Florida and which form part of our
daily experience With the building Of more
permanent highways connecting interior Florida
with the main arteries of travel down the State
there is bound to be an invasion Of those who
are seeking fresh scenes of recreation and without
exception the verdict is that Polk county fur
nshes fresh delights and surprises. Sc it is up
to people of every community throug hout the
county 10 do even little bit to make the visitor
feel that he or she is welcome to come and stay
just as long as possible. Florida can create a
tremendously valuable asset in the cultivation of
good fellowship A well pleased stranger who
is taken care of and treated kindly and generous
ly, will inevitably prove 10 be good advertising

state has to offer That, of course is the selfish
side of the proposition; much better if by every

folk come among us that we may have the bene-
fit that arises from a mutual interchange of ex-
periences. 1t is this cosmopolitan population that
is making Florida forge to the front.

AN EMBARGO FOR MONOPOLY ONLY
New York World.l


Acting on the advice of President Harding the
barge on dyes to Nov. 81 and the Republican
accepted similar embargo for incorporation in
the permanent tariff bill.
To justify the substitution of an embargo for
a high tariff in the effort to protect that most
favored infant industry from European competi-
ton it has been urged that the country must
build up the dye and chemical business by
heroic measures in order to insure an unlimited
supply of gas and explosives for a possible next
The argument is sheer hypocrisy. If the
manufacturers of dyes had anything to gain by
putting chemicals the free list they would
come forward with equally cogent reasons why
the United States should not isolate itself from
the rest of the world. They want, very natural
ly an American monopoly the products they
handle. They have an understandable desire to
put the manufacturers of fabrics in a position
where they will have to take the dyes offered
them at prices the holders of dye patents are
pleased to quote This is the well-spring of
their patriotism the whole cause of their solicit
tude
There was no extraordinary shortage of gases,
plosives or manufacturers to make them when
the The United States is in far
less need of protection against foreign competi-
ton in coa-tar derivatives than against the
strangle-hold of the group of dye interests which
has been charged with possessing an absolute
monopoly this side OF the water a porma-
nent embargo means nothing less than the in
trenchment of Il permanent and unshakable ring
with the dye market-and the market for ex-
plosves and lethal gases-in its single control

RISkING TOO MUCH

The forty and more gallant members of the
crew of the ZR-2 whose lives were sacrificed at
Hull constitutes but small part of the loss which
might have resulted if the vessel had dropped on
land instead of in the river. 1t came down, an
eyewitness describes it, blazing mass, with the
flames lighting up the whole heavens and spread
ing out fer hundreds of feet over the water as if
the river itself were burning.

to govern itself. then De Valera has the better
of it. He has driven the British premier to the
contention that the right of self government is not
inherent in the human race, but is matter of
geography, dependent upon whether some larger
power would be Inconvenience thereby.
The purpose of De Valera is therefore pretty
plain. He wants to see whether the British pub
lie will back the government in a war-which
he makes it clear, will be bloody and destruc-
tive war-to hold the Irish republicans in subu-
cation, whether there is enough Irish sentiment
in England to thwart such coercive measures as
may be undertaken. In other words, it is not
only in Ireland. but civil war in England
that he is playing for. as the alternative for his
demand for independence
1t is bold stroke AT this distance it is i'm
possible even to guess ntelhgently at the result
because there is little data from which the true
state of pubic opinion in England can be ascer-
tanned. The next few days. however, will be
fatctul. The next move is up to the Irish repub-
hcans.

LOOKING FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE

but there would be some recompense if the au-

the lesson is SO plain it needs no emphasis. In

NEARING A CRISIS

Great historical interest will attach to the notes
exchanged by Lloyd George and De Valera last
week because they constitute succinct statement
of the question at issue.
The Irish note demands full independence. 1t
rejects the plea that It's contiguty to England is
just basis Of scrvitude 1t reminds the premier
that such contention is subversive of the right
OF all small nations to govern themselves, since
all OF them contiguous to some large one
Lloyd George denies the Irish claim with some
asperIy and lntlmatcs in pretty plain terms that
British arms are prepared 10 make up for any
little Deficiencies in the Logic Of his position.
1t is clear enough for the respective statements
that De Nacras note was, in reality, addressed
to the British people rather than 10 Lloyd George.
1t was a shrcwd appeal over the head of the gov
ernmcnt. That accounts for the irritation mani
fest in the reply of Lloyd George

Under the head of "Esthetics and Pugilism,' -
the Literary Digest last week dclved into ancient
history and gave some rather interesting extracts
from Vanity Fair" on the Carpentier-Dempsey
fight. The idea is advanced that the gallant
Frenchman behaved SO artistically that his defeat
was. in higher sense, victory. That sort of
thing is all right applied to moral contests, but
it does not apply to the prize ring. The most
that any admirer of Carpenter can do is to wish
that he had challenged Dempsey to some other
game.

STANDPATTER HOOVER
(Palatka News

Uaatka News)
Mr. Herbert Hoovers defense of the valuation
clause in the Fordney tariff bill is abundant
proof that he knew his own mind last spring
when he said he a Republican. 1t is clear
that prominent politician in America is
embarrassed with less of the Democratic spirit
than is this member of Mr.. Harding's cabinet
Had Mr.. Hoover been candidate for president
as Democrat or as an Independent he might
have been elected, but he would have been in
comparably a better candidate than president
His course last year was Disappointing to the
News, but his self-revelaton has brought to us
Il sense of great content.
1t is to the credit OF Mr. Hoover that he re-
fused to be candidate in disguise. He is a less
liberal Republican than Hiram Johnson who
overwhelmingly defeated him in California, and
in standpat administration he is at home

THERE WAS A TIME

Oscar Williams)
There was a time when | was shy and
lonely,
And stood in strange bewilderment
apart;
And no one spoke to me and silence
only
Would fold my songs into her tender
heart.
There was time when only windy
darkness
Would fan my dreams with glamor-
ed loneliness.
But you have come, and nights are
filed with starkness;
And | am lonely for my loneliness.
Oh. you have come-and silence is a
stranger,
And darkness keeps aloof from my
distress;
And you-oh, you are all to fraught
with danger,
And | am lonely for my loneliness.
