TAKES SAME VIEW

The Telegram likes TO agree with the Ocaa
Star, and to have that very able paper agree with
it, 1t is, therefore, peculiarly grati6ed by the fol-
lowing reference to a recent editorial:
The Lakeland Telegram makes a timely
protest against calling Americans Anglo
SaXons. \ similar mistake is made of al
most every great nation. for France is not
purely Gallic and Italy is not purely Latin,
and Germany is not purely Teutonic; the peo-
pie of all these countries having large and
with preponderating admixtures from
other Saces In America, the blending of ma
tionalities, the climate and the institutions
building a distinct American race, which
is proving its superiority in energy and in
telligence over the peoples of all other coun-
tries.
The subject is bigger and more timely than APP
pears at first blush. Many who are paying lip
service 10 "Amercansm" do SO in terms which
indicate that they still regard this country as sort
of tourist camp the inhabitants of which are full
blooded Europeans.
Our American race is still in its infancy, but
its separate existence is firmly established, and
there is no more possibility of it ever reverling
to Anglo-Saxon, French, German, or any other
component element than there is, as Keats would
remark for the flower to close and be bud
again.

THE RIGHT VIEW OF WAR
Miami Metropolis

Do the school histories still play up" wars
and heroes? Are pages devoted to descrp-
tions of battles and to biographies of lead
ers? Do teachers still endeayor to make their
pupils thrill to bugle calls and martial music?
Or has civilization" become more civilized?
For many years the boys and girls of the
United States, well OF other countries, have
been taught to link patriotism with the army and
navy. The patriotic songs have been for the
most part songs. The favorite determinations
learned for the school exercises have been built
upon the exploits of fighting men and upon CORY
battle scenes But real people everywhere are
sick of war; ashamed of war Over in England
one of the most popular poets of the day, Sieg-
fried Sassoon, is writing view of war that the
people accept truth-because they know
Suppose then, instead of the glory" talk OF
war, the teachers take their cue from Sassoons
"They.' An excellent poem to go with the Dis
armament Conference; it says
The Bishop tells us: when the boys come back
They will not be the same; for they'll have
fought
In a just cause; they lead the last attack
On Anti-Chrst their comrades blood hasi
bought
New right to breed honorable race /
They have challenged Death and dared him facet
to face"
Were none of us the same!" the boys reply,
For George lost both his legs; and BIs stone
blind;
Poor Jims shot through the lungs and like to die;
And Berts gone syphilitic you'll not find
chap who's served that hasn't found some
change"

STRANGE"

A FINE SET OF MEN

The survivors of the Confederate army are

every member of which holds him in the highest
respect. Visitors from foreign lands have more
than once expressed their surprise at the quality of
the men marching in the U. c. V. parades.
One circumstance which doubtless contributed
its quota to this result the fact that after the civil
war; the soldiers of the south were thrown entirely
upon their own resources. They had lost all they
had in the war They could look for no bounties
OF pensions from the government. 1t was not
worth while to maintain lobby in Washington
and indulge in day-dreams Of what they would do
when Uncle Sam loosed his purse strings. The
only thing before them was to go to work
And that is what they did They accepted the
disadvantages of the situation cheerfulIy If their
sword was too short, they reached further with
the arm; they looked the whole world in the
face, feeling that they had fought good fight
and had kept the faith. But they had not finished

RIPPING RHYMES
(By Walt Mason.)
THE CORONER

The coroner is busy. he seldom has a rest; he
rides in his tin Lizzie to hold another quest He
wears out teams of horses when Lizzie will not
go; to sit clammy corses he journeys to and
fro. For every passing minute bootleggers sell
their booze, and there is venom in it, and juice
of overshoes, and sudden death and thunder and
powdered bones and crime; and he who drinks
goes under, long long before his time Some
voters think it funny to beat the Volstead law
and SO they spend their money for poison rank
and raw. The coroner is toing through bitter
winds and strong; his clients will be spelling if
they kept too long. The winds are gallivant-
ing it thunders and it rains; the coroner is pant
ing along the country lanes; along the village
highway and down the city street; there is no
road byway that does not know his feet The
boys must have their btters, from jug or demi-
john, and, rounding up such critters, the coroner
goes on The boys must have their fagons-the
Vostead law be bowed! And then they ride in
wagons along the boneyard road. And while the
boys drink toddies, the crowners on his way and
on their tortured bodies he places his O. K

CIVILIZATION NOW ENGAGED
IN BUSINESS OF PROPAGANDA
lFlorida Metropolis.l

(Florida Metropolis)
From time immemorial war has filled the world
with propaganda.
Once a farmer and his son, story goes,
blowing in field. The in the of his
toll unearthed a skull He called to his father
who approached and explained: "A great victory
was here This is the skull of one of the
victors"
What victory, father?" asked the inqusitive
SON.
ooh, don't know that" replied the father. but
it was Il great victory"
That is the propaganda of war and the reality
of war. Even dead victor, after the expiration
of few years, loses his individuality He be-
comes an untimely part Of the dust from which
he sprang.
Civilization is engaged in the business of
propaganda
H. c. Wells, William Jennings Bryan, the press,
associations and the newspapers, and numerous
other individuals and agencies are scattering this
propaganda. The things dearest to the heart of
humankind are being stressed; the personal side
of disarmament; the Inconsistencies of war
these are being emphasized and the high spirit of
civilization is winging itself to the ends Of the
earth on the hopes expressed. Cold indeed is the
heart of that man who did not feel lump rise
in his heart he read the lesson of humanity
II. G. Wells brought back from the grave of the
Unknown Soldier. when he read the Associated
Press story of the burial Of this boy, some moth
ers son.
In its smaller sense, disarmament is question
of ships and troops and taxes; but in Il bigger
sense, more in its biggest sense, disarmament
means less sorrow, happier tresides more

lingering this phase because it is nearest to
the heart of mankind. lingering it because it
is the ideal of peace earth, good will to
