this day the Stars and Stripes salutes
| the Tricolor. and America rejoices
with France in that which she com
memorates OF freedom won in the
fall OF the Bastile July IA, 1883.
The two anniversaries are just
about far enough apart TO invite com
parison and contrast.
We had our Washington; France
had her Lafayette.
The beating down OF prison walls,
and the setting free of all within,
constitutes the glory Of this day for
France.
A large proportion OF the men in
the Bastille deserved to be there;
but government had become the in
strument Of oppression, and those
grim walls stood in the popular mind
as the outward and visible sign Of
/ tyranny. The Bastille fell, and
France has never ceased to rejoice.
Nor will we in self-righteous spirit
remind France how much Of evil
broke forth with the French Revolu-
ton. nor pretend that only the
righteous and the devout and the
thoughtful participated in our
American Revolution.
The Real Conflict
But one thing we may remember.
for our own sake and the sake Of
France and OF all nations in this day
Iof unsettled problems. The real con-
lflict came after the Bastille had been
destroyed. The real struggle in
America came not when we obtained
release from stubborn King George
hut when we discovered whether We
were capable Of governing ourselves
Thou art a republic. o France and
honorest thy Lafayette as we honor
Washington. Well mayest thou dc
so. and we rise this day and honoi
him with thee.

President Harding has asked Con-
gress to lay aside the bonus bill with
reason which is unimpeachable and
he has shown why 1t must be laid
aside with arguments which are un-
answerable.
This Government cannot go on
running into debt by the billion
without cracking its credit. 1t can
not thus impair its credit without in
creasing its borrowing costs stipend
ously. For the new bonds Il put out
/ for bonus or any other purposes It
would have to pay heavier interest
I than Il had to pay even to fight and
win the war. Then for the refund
ing Of the seven and a half billions
of war bonds falling due in about
two years Il would have TO pay more
interest by staggering figures than 1t
has been paying on the old securities.
This Government cannot go on
pouring out rivers OF money as If
there we're no end oit without in
creasing taxation drastically to
hinder business from getting on its
feet again and TO postpone the day
when the nations unemployed can
go back to work.
This country cannot go on print
1 ing money to distribute broadcast
without making 1t as worthless 10
the man who works to get it as the
printing press currency of debt rid
den governments in the bankrupt
countries Of Europe has become tC
those who work to get theirs.
This country cannot go on being
bled white by the tax collector and
drowned in deprecated money with
out the public's cost of living going
up again instead of down.
Furthermore, there is a soldier
debt which this nation must dis
charge faithfully and unfalteringly
cost what tmay. II is, as Presi-
dent Harding has merely outlined in
I his message, a towering burden, and
/ IL is destined to grow greater with
the years. But whatever the magni-
tude it reaches, it must be the first
and the most sacred war obligation
Of this Government and this people
1t is the obligation Of every man
and every woman, themselves bear
ing no scars Of the battlefield, ia

wives and ,.hildf n that we're wal

To the Editor of The Evening Jour

Sir: I want to thank MI. Lewis
for the article on Delaware's whip
ping post. in your issue Of 18th, and
sincerely hope his remarks may in
duce the residents of the State op-
posed to it. to start measures for its
abolition.
Mr.. Lewis made a mistake in say
ing the people of the State wanted
it," He should have said the cruel
and unchristian part Of the commun-
ity wanted 1t.
There is simply no reason for its
existence as it does not lessen theft
or crime in this State.
We cannot teach our boys and
girls to be proud of Delaware while
that diabolical post exists. +.

It must he admitted that results OF government regula-
tion in the past do not furnish very strong argument
in favor Of regulation Of the packers The pure food law
is about the only regulatory measure that fully iust
fed ITSELF and that by securing purer food and by
regulating prices In most instances the only effect Of
government regulation has been to add bureau with

comparison with the other alternative.
TO hold Germany in subjugation will require
an army of at least million men. constantly en-
camped within easy reach of the German frontier
equipped with immense stores of modern fighting
machinery and ready to act at moment notice
And this army must remain there. year after year,
decade after decade, constant drain on the al

those who refuse to recognize its necessity. 1t is,
indeed form of warfare-perpetual warfare
unrelieved, is ordinary war, by any hope of VIC
tory. For situated as they are under the Yer
sailles treaty. Germany is in position to last long
as her enemies in that sort of contest.
Relieved by the mandates of the treaty, of the
burden of supporting military establishment, and
required to produce certain amount of wealth

reparation demands, Germany has her economic

icy is maintained for the next twenty years. that

over to some ardent Scipio Africanus of France,
give him all the men and supplies needed. and let
him remove Germany from the map of Europe

WELL MERITED RECOGNITION

The news flashed from Washington Saturday
night over the Associated Press wires that Presi-
dent Harding had nominated William NJ. Gober,
of Lakeland, to succeed Hon. Herbert S. Phillips
of I ampa as United States attorney for the South
crn District of Florida. came not as surprise but
rather as confirming an appointment most accept
able to all the people of South Florida. Since
1918 Judge Gober and his charming family have
been residents of Lakeland where they are SO
widely and pleasantly known.
Possibly Judge Gobcr has been most widely
known in Florida through the high Office of grand
chancellor commander of the Grand Lodge of
Florida, Knights of Pythas, honor Justly be-
slowed and trust worthily performed. He. is
Georgian by birth, a native Of the little town of
Commerce where he was born in 1875. He re-
moved to Florida in 1895, settling at Dunnellon
where he secured position with phosphate min
ing company Right here is where the boys of to-
day have an object lesson. Judge Gober did not
spend his evenings on the street corners nor did he
waste the hours during which he was not working
for his employers. Instead, he studied law away
into the night determined to make his way in the
world to better things In five years he took the
bar examination, passing with honors. He smiles
when he recalls the hanging out of his first shingle
in Dunnellon. Later he passed an examination
that permitted him to practice his profession be-
fore the supreme court of Florida, this being fol-
lowed by another examination whereby he could
plead before the federal courts. 1t was in 1911
that he moved to Ocala where he became munich
pal judge and enjoyed lucrative law business
His new avenue of useful service calls for
continuance of those sterling qualities that have
fitted him for this higher honor

THE GERMAN PROBLEM

The ordinary man on the street expresses the
world view when he talks about Germany. Ger
many was not licked enough She is not to be
trusted. She must be forced by military pressure
to comply with the terms CT the treaty. She must
be prevented from building up another military es-
tablishment."
Now, while the Telegram has good deal of
sympathy with those views, the fact remains that
they are utterly inconsistent with any permanent
peace.
The world by which we mean the nations re-
Gently allied against Germany, has just three pos
sible courses before it.
The recent allies must make peace with Ger
many They must, with or without legal provo
cation start another war and utterly destroy Ger
many Just as Rome solved a similar problem in
volvng Carthage. Or they must keep constantly
under arms,a force large enough 10 make Germany
comply with any demand.
The first is not seriously considered The idea
of inviting Germans into general council and
formulating set of agreements satisfactory 10 Tie
German republic, is not proposed anywhere nor
by anybody
The choice lies between the other two policies.
So far. except in France. the second has not met
with much active favor. Our humane sentiment

WOUNDED, BUT NOT SERIOUSLY
(Tarpon Springs LEADER


With characteristic Florida spirit the people
have taken hold with determination not to let
the hurricane of last Tuesday interfere with any
of the progressive plans. Everybody is too busy
to waste time bemoaning the unfortunate storm
excepting a few chronic grouches, and they
don't count.
1T is an i'll wind that blows nobody good" is an
old saying. And as one looks about and observes
the absence of some of the unsightlyS awnings
and ramshackle sheds, which by reason of their
ancientness should long since have been removed,
one cannot help but feel the truth of this saying
More than ever there is an incentive to replace
these old eyesores with something credtable
While it is true that much damage was done to
valuable property, it is likewise true that the
early figures of estimated damage in this section
of the state will be materially reduced when these
old structures deducted. And who can say
that the improvements made to replace damaged
property will not more than offset the total
damage done?
Like every other state in the Union, Florida
has met with hardships before. But never has
she given in to encouragement, and she has
climbed to the top because of her determination
to get there. We In the northern partsof Pnellas
county have little to complain Of Our sister
cities to the south we're much harder hit. But
we know they will soon recover. We know it be-
cause OF the manner in which they already have
taken hold. 1t is one more opportunity to show
the country that Florida is alive and that her
people are progressive and that there is spirit
of advancement within her borders such as few
states can boast Of
