WILLIAM JENNINGS

AT last the Great Commoner has spoken. He
has answered question that has been popping
continuously for many days as to his intentions re-
gardng making a certain trip to Washington 10
represent Florida in the United States senate. Mr..
Bryan is to be commended for his frankness and
his fairness, and. come to think of it, there never
was a time when Bryan was not fair and was not
frank. To his credit be it said, there never was
room for guessing as to where he stood cn any
great issue affecting the people. IT. this case lis
name has been before the public and he has been
under discussion because of statement made in
the press than he would like to represent Florida
at Washington. Many times attempts have been
made to secure an official utterance on the subject
but it not until a day or two ago that Mr..
Bryan frankly said that if the people wanted him
to serve them he would be willing to dc so,
provided, however he would not be crovvding
somebody else off the political map. This in ef-
feet means that he is net willing to enter contest
against Hon. Park Trammell or any other person.
So the proposition is very simple; if our own Park
desires to continue his tenure of Office in congress
then William Jennings Bryan will net say him
nay. One readily appreciate the attitude
of MIR. Bryan. Advancing years are not an in
centlve to any man to throw his hat in the ring
and enter a political fight And as Mr. Bryan
truly says, he has had his share of political hon
and has tried to serve his country faithfully
and well. The only inducement by which he
would now even consider re-entry into active
political harness would be unanimous call from
the people of Florida. From an advertising stand
point William Jennings Bryan would bring Florida
more than into the limelight but there are
ether and more weghty considerations to be taken
into account No dissatisfaction has been found
with Senator Trammell whose record in behalf Of
his constituents and Of all the people of the
United States has been che that has caused pride
and satisfaction the part of his friends here and
elsewhere. Undoubtedly the Great Commoner
would bring years CT wisdom and experience to
bear and be mighty power in the counsels of the
nation as a United States senator, but gratitude
tor valuable services rendered would make it out
OF the question for Floridans to ask Park Tram
nell tic step aside even for such widely-known
statesman as Mlamis most distinguished citizen.

nessee that the government Of the United States
accept the offer rendered by Henry Ford for the
operation Of the Musse Shoals plant. Develop

important proposton every day brings a new
angle. The latest is the offer of the Alabama
Power Company which claims ownership of GER
tain of the lands located along the Shoals and at
the Wilson dam. Everybody knew that private in
terests were not going to lose any time in an en-
deavor to out general Henry Ford; it is not sur
prsng therefore TO learn that this corporation is
prepared to put up proposition that on its face
would seem to be better than that of the Detroit
manufacturer in so far as an immediate outlay of
cash is concerned. There may be merit in the offer
but on the face of things as they now stand, con-

the senate and asking that they be ratified, Pres
ident Harding said: 81 ask you to ratify them in
order that Americas professed desire to rid the

There is something strangely familiar in this
request; it breathes of wisconsin Of the high
ideal which flung to the American people
when this nation declared war, of the sacred hope

are the United States will not participate in
movement for world peace for many years to
come.
Mr.. Wilson returned from Versailles to submit
treaty to a hostile senate It has been definite
ly established that Henry Cabot Lodge and his
par isan associates decided to oppose the treaty
of Versailles even before it was framed In other
words the treaty had been rejected before its
contents had been made public
AS time passed it was recognized some sort
of a treaty was necessary to insure world peace
and after lengthy discussion in which many old
arguments we're revived, the conference of four
world powers was called by the administration,
supported by majority in the body vested with
the powers of ratification.
In the meantime, however, this majority has
disintegrated into blocs, with each bloc champion
ing the cause of some special interest and seek
ing to enact legislation for its relief. The ma
joriy has proved itself handicap rather than
an asset. So the outcome of the fight for rati-
fcation of these treaties is now doubtful. 1t is
impossible to say with any degree of accuracy
what will be the final decision of the senate.
Although they by no means include everything
hoped for, these treaties should be ratified; for
rejection Of them would be direct announce
ment to the world that the United States is
unconcerned as to the future relations of the ma
tions. To assume such an attitude for the second
time, and especially wi executive and legisla-
tive departments of the same political faith
might, and in all likelihood would be a decided
setback for the cause of peace.

WASTEFUL. HABITS
(Orlando Reporter-Star.)

We have often been called a nation of spend.
thrifts 1t sometimes looks as though we we're
proud of that title We rather pride ourselves
, on being good spenders. This in itself may not
be an objectionable sin. But are we nation
of wasteful habits as we'll? 1t looks as though
we we're.
Senator Beveridge once said there was enough
waste on every farm to feed the family That is
perhaps, not an exaggerated statement when il
is applied to the average farmer. The waste is
not confined 10 the products of the farm, but
more largely to the manner in which farm ma
chinery is allowed to lie around and rust out
faster than it wears out.
There seems to be general disposition to dis
regard the commonest rules of economy man
will buy a title three-quarter ton truck and pro
coed to load it down with a ton or more and speed
along over the highways like a touring car. Or
If he has big heavy truck he goes tearing along
over the highways as though the devil was chas
ing him; never once giving thought to the effec.
on the highways that have cost the taxpayers
lot of money.
But the garbage can Is an interesting school
on our habits of economy or extravaganza Dur.
ing the late war this generation took its first
actual lesson in economy and what it accom-
piished surprised the peoples of the world After
the war, however, people fell back into was e.
full habits that outclassed any former period The
year Immediately following the close of the war
Will go down in history as the silk shirt and silk
stocking year. Merchants were overrun with
young men and young women who wanted ia
trade the Liberty bonds they had acquired dur.
ing the period of saving, for silk thread that has
been woven into our fabric
But 1T is the garbage can that is now ATTRACTING
the attention of the economist In one great
city where the garbage is utilized by the CITY in
reduction plants where it is worked over and
processed into commodities that bring the CITY
! large revenue, it is shown that the garbage
can last year showed an increase of 20 pounds
per capita. And these garbage cans reveal. a
condition of wastefuness that is Astounding in
these times when thousands of bread.wnners are
out Oh work and thousands are underfed
This is not very encouraging comment on
our ability to retain the lessons we have learned
IN thrift perhaps It shows a reckless disregard
Tor economy and frugality We were amazed
when brought face to face with the extravagant
practices Of which We had been guilty before the
war, and we congratulated ourselves on our dis
coyery OF a means OF saving without deprlvins
ourselves of any essen .ials and for year or two
we made wonderful showing But the expert
ences Of that discovery and the lessons taught
seem to have been entirely lost.

assured. The committee is composed Of Miss

from many of tie leading men and women of

this event is important because of the fact that the
