President Harding in his message

Will some of those who are close
to him in intellectual understanding
please describe after the victorious
conclusion OF great war what a
state Of technical peace is?
Then after securing this state Of
technical peace what does Mr.. Hard.
ing mean by saying that his admins.
tration will then proceed ito engage
under the existing treaty, assuming
OF course. that this can be satisfactor,
ily accomplished by such explicit re.
servations and notifications as will
secure our absolute freedom from
inadvisable commitments and safe
guard our essential interests.
Name it, pleasel
Yet we are told BY Mr.. Richard II.
Edmonds and others that Mr.. Hard

FLORIDA SEEN THROUGH OTHER
sPECTAcLES

The lola (Kansas) Register is one
of the influential papers of the Sun
flower State, it is edited by Chas F.
Scott, former congressman. Speak
ing of Florida, he says:
speaking generally, may say that
Florida impressed me as being only
upon the Threshold of its develop
ment. Out of its total Of nearly forty
million acres of land, half OF which,
perhaps, is susceptible of cultivation.
only two million acres has, as yet,
been brought under the plow. 1t is
about the situation which existed IN
Kansas in 1870 and the development
of the next fifty years can hardly be
less than has been witnessed in our
state during the past half century.
Personally, am sure I do. not wish to
exchange Kansas for Florida, enjoy
a. moderate amount of moderately
warm weather but a country where it
is summer all the time suits me a
little too we'll For those who like it,
however, it is hard to conceive of a
better place to find it than Florida 1t
is indeed. as its orators never tire or
declaring, .'the land of sunshine and
of flowers" | saw a man who had
gone broke there trying to farm. but
| saw a man also who claimed to be
making an excellent living on ten
acres Of land. There will be failures
in Florida as there have been every
where, but there will be successes
also; and in the end it is the success
that enters into the land and possesses
It, and Florida is certain to become
one of the most populous and pros
porous. as it is now one of the most
historically interesting and Scent
cally beautiful states in the Union,

And now comes Mr. Norman Hap
good. one of the writers for Hearst's
publications. and says that President
Harding proves a stronger man than
was anticipated. and yet Mr.. Harding
has done nothing extraordinary up to
this time except to appoint cabinet
from the ~old school, and while a
member of the senate did nothing to
attract very general attention. So
far Mr.. Harding can only be classed
as plain. average mamie may be.
and we hope is, good man. and when
he retires will fairly be entitled to
that soubriquet.

AS the farmers of the United States
find it impossible to sell their wheat
and cotton at any price it is hardy
conceivable that foreign growers Of
these two staples would at high
cost of transportation dump their sur
plus products on an improbable mar
ket, so how is it possible for high
protective tariff to benefit our wheat
and cotton growers to the amount OF
penny? But such tax win impose
q direct injury upon consumers Of
-four and manufactured cotton goods
because BY trade manipulations the
price of these articles can be increas-
ed. Shakespeare had in mind a high
protective tariff when he exclaimed;

center, the most important lime manu-
featuring center in Flo IDA, and is an
automobile center. The city spreads
out from the county court house, "a
modern structure of sandstone, and
most attractive public square. The
business of the city is done in some
twenty-five blocks adjourning the
square. This, of course, does not in
clude the scattered stores, warehouses
and the manufacturing plants on the
outskirts of the city The postoffice
and federal court building, beauti-
full example of modernized Italian
architecture, occupies block to the
