SEEKING SOLITUDE.

News comes from New Orleans
that Provost Island strip Of land
four miles long, notable only for its
loneliness, has been purchased by
James A. Stillman.
1t is off the beaten track for most
of mankind. To reach it requires eff
fort Once there, a person is reason
ably safe from intrusion and left to
his own thoughts.
A year ago the financial world
would have been shocked and thrown
into a furry by this announcement.
1t would spell to them the retirement
of the ear of the greatest bank in
America, and those who owned stocks
and bonds would worry as to the
market effect of the withdrawal of a
towering figure of finance.
Today it means only the futile eff
fort of lonely man to escape from
himself, the vain endeavor to find
some haven where he may not miss
his former glory and where he no
longer faces the thinly-veiled con-
tempt of those who were once his
! friends.
A year has wrought great changes
in the life and activities OF this man.
From man of destiny he becomes
an exile. From a director of fate, he
becomes a recluse.
When he reaches his fastness of
the tropics, alone with his thoughts,
he will ponder over the times when
his word commanded even presidents,
and perhaps reflect upon the hour
when he was one of three who sent a
message to the white house and saw
golden flood turned as they directed
to stave off panics.
He will remember, perhaps, how,
from his desk he created or destroyed
vast enterprises at his will, and how
his word was sufficient to create
new empires or to depose the petty
princelings of finance.
And thinking and remembering, he
will know that there are laws which
even kings must obey, be they the
autocrats of Europe or the rulers OF
finance in America.
He will know that men demand OF
other men conformity to moral laws
and that confidence in banks is not
built upon the size of deposits anc
the bulk of resources, but in the in
tegrity of those who command banks
He will know that honesty does
not have the mean and narrow lin
itations of dealings in money, bu
that it extends to the other and per
sonal relationships of life.
Stillman started for Provost on thu
day when he bought chorus girls TO
, cash and went into the open marke
+, for material to pander to his pas
: sions.

IN FURTHER CONSIDERATION

Il
The highway situation in Florida
would be amusing were it not so Sc
rious. Half a dozen years ago there
were plenty of individuals and few
newspapers bitterly opposed to TINS
so-called hobby of building paved
roads for outsiders to ride over. In
those days the opposition was ap-
pealed to on behalf of the farmer and
fruit growers, the plea being that I'M
less paved highways were provided
the produces of grove and dairy could
no the properly marketed and that
thousands of acres of rich land
would never be cultivated unless the
settler had tn advantage of good
roads so that he would not be isolat-
ed and that his children might be en-
abled to get to school. These argu-
ments were valid and sound and quite
in line with the facts of the situation,
but recognition was not at that time
given to the probability of this busl-
ness of highway construction becom-
ing national project. 1t was well
that good sense prevailed in many
sections of Florida and of other
states, resulting in a fair start to-
ward tn elonged-for goal. Here IL
Florida there were county undertake
ings, all purely local in their nature
and without regard to what Other
counties were doing or might have il
mind. In other words, there was NJ

That the League Of Nations, lack

obvious is that the league does exist

The rapidly approaching meetings,

that every movement looking to the
removal of war is a good movement.
The evils prophesied for the league
have not materialiZed TO the public

could have looked for any sensational
success in advance of public opinion.
The balance sheet fairly strucE
shows an active body of useful pur-

1t is significant that virtually e7-
erv small power in Europe and all the
minority peoples are taking THEN
