FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS

A strict application of ethics to federal APP
pointments would require the selection of such men
only as could be elected in the communities which
they are appointed to serve. Federal patronage,
however is not strictly ethical. but the public has
a right to insist upon at least, slight modification
Of tins rule
Nobody who would be rejected by the elector-
ate on other than strictly political grounds should
be chosen. The south is willing to accept that
modification
There some grounds to hope that Mr.. Hard
ing intends TO follow it. So far, the old-fashioned
politician Of the G. o. P brand, who herded
few negroes and gol himself named as delegate
TO the national convention does not seem to enjoy
his old tune prestige
F+onda has number of Republican candidates
who could gel all the Democratic endorsement
they wanted They are business and professional
men who have never nsulted the south by arousing
lace preludlces, men whose morel standards are
high, and men IN whose hands the affairs of the
country would be perfectly safe To be SPECIFIC
we may name, without excluding others, two Lake
land men-Judge Gober and Mr. Risbeck-both
OF whom have been recommended for high posi-
lions. and both of whom would be perfectly &C
ceptable to the people of the state They come
within the rule laid down above. They would
be defeated at a stale election, because the state
IS Democratic: but the people would vote against
them solely on political grounds

SAME OLD MISTAKE

Former Premier VIVIAN, of France, according
to the latest reports, is not visiting this coun-
try to ask for any tangible favors What he wants,
and what he is appealing 10 the administration to
give is the moral support of this country. In that
he is making the mistake which European nations
have made so often be(ore-he is going to the
wrong place and basing his appeal upon the
wrong grounds
The moral support of this country not be
delivered by any administration. Even Mr. VII
son, with ten times the strength of Mr.. Harding
could not deliver it when he tried. 1t is not a
governmental perquiste. but resides with the peo-
pie 1t can not be had by praying for, but must
be earned, and when it is earned by proper means
it goes without the asking.
This country is inclined to be exceedingly
friendly to France But it is getting tired of read
in the papers that France has eight hundred thou
sand men in arms while the country itself is on the
verge of bankruptcy. Americans are tired of the
TO fight it out and quit The French notion of
making the war perpetual-for that is exactly
what French policy now amounts to-will have
less and less approval in this country as it becomes
better understood.
If NJ Vivian will go out among the real ru-
ers--the common people east and west, north and
southland lay his case before them, he can get
valuable and practical advice, and if he takes
it back home and induces his country to act upon
it, there will be need of sending special envoy
here to ask for moral support. France will have it
without asking, and even if she didn't have it, her
affairs would be in such shape that she could
get along without it.

As Others See 1t
SECTIONS MUST THINK
IN TERMS OF FLORIDA
lFloriAn Nlclrnnoiis.l

(Floridd Mctr0pOliS)
From the seajagged coast of Escamba to
the coral reefs of Monroe but one Florida
This striking and picturesque sentence appears
ON the cover Of recent pamphlet issued by the
University of Florida, and while it has ref
erence to State division 1t inspires sentimental
consideration of the state. Since the question of
state division was dragged into tire limelight it
has been discussed in all quarters, and there is
satisfaction in the overwhelming number of ex-
pfessoxs of disapproval which have been voiced
in all Quarters. 1t is talk of this kind that helps
to concrete the bonds between the different sec
tions of the state.
The time is coming when West Florida" and
East Florida" and South Florida" and North
Florida" will he mere geographical designations
Unfortunate indeed is it that this is not true at
the present time. But there for the
sectional thinking The state is new and cover
ing so much territory and embracing many
interests, the lack Of intimate relations can
be easily understood However, even though
there is line Of defnarcation between the ac-
tivities of the sections, when the state division
agitation begins there is general focking To
the sentimental but fundamental thought of
Florida
FIorida's greatness lies in her unity. This d:
versffcation Of interests is outstanding asset
1t is the reason Florida has been SO prosperous
while other states were complaining of dcpres-
sion and speaking in lugubrioUs tones of the flu.

Tire state is going to he wonderfully benefited
when the residents begin thinking in terms of
Florida rather than in terms OF the sections. The
claims to glory are pretty we'll divided no one
section has monopoly although each possesse,
its remarkable qualities and shares to certain
extent the other qualities conspicuous in the
neghboripg districts. Nothing can come out
of the division talk, only maybe the bonds of
the sections win be strengthened by the posi-
bility of separation.

REVISING THE ELECTION LAWS

Revision ct tic election laws is one Of the
duties which will confront the legislature. The
attorney general is preparing bill 10 place women
upon exactly the same status as men with regard
to registration and the payment of poll taxes.
That is all right provided the women want such
restrictions. They should be consulted. how
ever as they constitute half the voting strength of
the state, though not half the representation in the
legislature, and they will certainly resent any laws
which do not meet their ideas of justice.
And while about it, the legislature ought TO
revise the whole voting system. The registration
and poll tax requirements are sufficient to keep
undesirables from the polls Or. if not an edu-
cational qualification can be embodied in con-
stitutonal amendment and submitted to the peo-
pie. The ballot ought to be simpIl6ed and made
10 conform to the rules adopted in other states
We have two parties in Florida, and it is not
worth while 10 pretend TO ignore that fact Both
parties are entitled to exactly the same advantages
so far as the election laws are concerned.
The ballot should contain the names Of candi-
dates grouped under party headings, with sym
boIs to more readily distinguish chem and sample
ballots just as they are to be vcic1 should be
published and posted about the polhg places
Instead OF making it difficult to vo:a nleIIiger tly
it should be made as easy possible.

VIVIANI'S VISIT

The mysterious visit of former Premier Nvisni
of France to President Harding revives discussion
Of The proposal 10 cancel Europe's war debt to
the United States While he has not announced
that his visit has anything to do with that project,
it is reasonable to- infer that he is here for some
kind Of favor and that is the most likely one
Believing as we do that to cancel these debts
would, be an outrage on the American people we
are rather glad to see our European friends so m
sisent about it. because their efforts will have OPP
posite results from what they intend They evi-
IDENTIFY do not understand American sentiment
They do not realize that sympathy for Europe has
reached the threadbare stage. and few more
wrenches will destroy it entirely. If France and
England want the good will of America, they can
get it by disbanding their armies, ceasing their
bulyings with over-grown navies, and getting down
to basis of hard work
That's the way Americas wealth was produced
And American sympathy can not be permanently
engaged by countries which spend their best ef-
forts in military affairs to the neglect of other
business

AFTER RAIN
(AIfred Arnold

alfred Arnold
The, Sky is bright, like scrubbed blue floor;
And the air is washed Till it's sweet once more;
The grass and the trees that showed neglect
And the flower bed by the winter wrecked,
Are changed and chipper with self-respect.
The paving stones all the. way down street
Shine under the passing / oases' feet.
And the sidewalks respectable seem to lie
AS not alarmed Of the human eye
And almost proud to smile at the sky
And talkative women are stretching lines
For their new-washed clothes; and veranda
vines -,
Are being trimmed byu whistling men; 81
And the children loud at play again:
While there the birdhouse sits Jenny Wren.
Every one moves in lively style
Even stranger receives a smile;
And the doors open, the windows wide,
And you smell the dinner cooking inside:
And you know that you couldn't feel sad if you
tried.
