MR.. WILSON IN POLITICS.

The announcement of Mr.. Wilson's retire.
ment from the law firm Of Wilson Colby is
accepted in Washington as an indication that,
with increasing strength, he is preparing to
participate actively again in the political life of
the country. II this is true. it is good news
and welcome news. and the value OF the service
that Mr.. Wilson is capable Of rendering can
hardly be ovsrestimated The Democratic party
needS an Intelligent leadership and the Repub-
lican party needs an intelligently directed oppo-
sition, but most Of all the country needs man
like Mr. Wilson who has passed out of the
turmoil Of active politics, who can NO longer
be suspected of seeking office, and can, give to
the American people the benefit Of his remark
able experience and ripe counsel
There was time in American history when
strong president, after his retirement be-
came sag" as they called him, which meant
that he ceased to be partison in the ordinary
sense and became disinterested adviser There
have been NO sages in recent years, but Mr..
Wilson, il the state Of his health permits, is in
a position to revive an invaluable institution.
No other president ever had his wealth and
variety Of experience in peace and in war. No
other president ever had to play his part on
so vast stage. No other president ever SO
profoundly affected the course Of world his
tory. No other president was ever less con-
cerned with mere partison advantages.
The more that Mr.. Wilson has to do with
American politics the better 1t will be for
American politics and for the American people
It 10 not essential that they should always
follow his advice. but it is necessary that there
should be somebody who can strike the note
that only he can strike. 1t is necessary that
there should again be leadership that il not
tainted BY personal ambition and il concerned
only with great principles and great issues.
That p what Mr.. Wilson can give IL physical
strength is granted to him.

Blake Morris was a queer sort
anyway. From the first the men
folks didn't seem to like him. Per-
haps- it was because Of his silent
ways, though there were a good
many of the fishermen who weren't
. over-talkative themselves. Per-
haps it was because he was an
outsider" whom they didn't know
anything about, and could find out
less.

European war Is over so far as the United

loaned billions Of dollars in order to check
world conquest OF kaiserdcm. The American

the balance. Possibly America never would
have become party to the war had it not been
for the growing fear that the triumph Of kaiser
ism would have eventually imperiied the safety
Of this nation.
But the fact remains that America did enter
the war, and it saved the allies and accom-
plished the downfall Of kaiserism. Today Ger

obligations contracted during the war. At the

WEEK ON STOCK MARKET

Jacksonville.)
New York Stocks

New York March 1.-THE advance
in prices of Fabricated material an
n0unced by a number of Independent
steel producers was regarded as the
most encouraging significant develop
ment OF the week in the stock mar
ket. Sugars and several other i'm
portant commodities also hardened on
the better outlook in various lines of
industry and commerce, but the course
of the grain markets again suggested
an undigested condition.
Trading in stocks and bonds, especi-
ally the latter. fell off in comparison
with the active operations of the pre-
yious fortnight and both were more
susceptible to protit-taking and profess
siOnal pressure.
The money market evinced greater
ease than at any similar period of the
year funds on call being freely offered
under four per cent Merchants paper
and bank acceptances also found
ready sale at concessions from long
prevailing rates.

UNDERWOOD OUTLINES HIS
STAND ON 4-POWER TREATY
Continued from page y

offensive and defensive alliance to
stand upon? None that | can see.
IF the Senate of the United States
ratifies this pending treaty" Senator
Underwood said. 81 am fully satisfied
that there will disapper not only any
real cause for war, but there will no
longer exist the opportunity for war
that has threatened us in the past two
decades; and peace will be establish
ed between four great sea powers that
now control the destinies of the Pa
cifc ocean.
CAS- lCng as conditions were allow
ed to remain in the far east as they
have existed for the past two decades
danger lurked behind every dispute
and the war clouds gathered wher
every national issue was raised
These conditions threatened our nat
ional security. for as long as our fla
floats over the distant islands of the
Pacific, national honor requires thai
we shall defend the people of thesc
islands from attacks by other ma
tons.
This is the real issue involved in
the four-power treaty. The issue o.
peace in the Orient, the issue OF
safety to our country, the issue of the
lives of our young men. who should
be saved from this danger for the up
building OF a greater America.
"A number of treaties were nego
tiated at the conference in Washing
ton on the limitation of ornaments
but this four-power treaty is the real
treaty OF peace. The naval treaty is
remarkable in that for the frs thine
in the history OF the world, nations
have really agreed to limit their ar
maments. but nevertheless their rel
alive strength remains the same. The
Chinese treaties establish magma
Charta to protect the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of China in the
future. This one treaty stands for
peace by mutual understanding ami
all that peace means"

ing, was filled almost to overlooking

this subject. THE First and Last
Step" and it was very gratifying, in
deed, to knew that so many were in
terested in this cleanup work that
cur pastor is trying to get started in
Lakeland.
Our pastor had advised that he
would not handle this subject with kid
gloves to keep from hurting some
ones delicate feelings, but thai he
would endeavor to put the truth be-
fore Us. He also warned all who did
not care to hear it to stay at home.
While We would NOT want to hear this
sermon very often, we arc very glad
to know that We have a leader who is
not afraid to aim straight at the Lark
in order that he might warn some one
and lead them away from danger.
There will be no services in the
tent this evening, but the usua! Lords

now a good man and real man has
gone to his well-earned reward. My
feeble words would add nothing to the
glory which is already his. He so
truly lived for the comfort and sake
of. others his personal sacrifice could
not be counterbalanced with all the
wealth in the world. And his noble
spirituality cannot be bought with any
material price. In the springtime of
his life, in the dewy liquid morn of
his youth, he went forth to do. In
the service of his Master, Lord and
Christ his zeal was as holy as that
which inspired the Crusaders who
fought beneath the banner of the
cross. l myself felt truly proud to
have the friendship of such as he.
And now he has left us and his fame

the good and brave spirit is known
he will live, and his deeds will live

who have died in the service of the
betterment of mankind. He has gone
west, and juts the 'dreamless silence
whose shadows mark the pathway to
he stars; gone over the quaking sum-
NIT of calvary. Gone west, toward the
sunset, but let us who knew and loved
him rest assured that behind his sun

]. L. TUCKER FOUND
GUILTY ON WHISKEY
CHARGE; WILL APPEAL

The case of the city against J. L.
Tucker charged with having liquor
in his possession, was decided Fri
day afternoon when Tucker was found
guilty and fined 500 by Judge Allen.
The case was long drawn out and
attracted a big crowd.
1t appears that Mr.. Tucker, who
moved to Lakeland three weeks ago
from Kissimmee, opening wholesale
and retail fish store, had made a con-
tract with l.. H. Peddy to supply him
with fish. A falling-out occurred, to
which there are the usual two sides,
and Mr.. Peddy had Mr.. Tucker arrest
ed, claiming that he had sold him a
quart OF whiskey and that he had
twenty-seven quarts of whiskey-real
whiskey-buried in the woods, three
md half miles from Lakeland The
buried treasure was discovered, but
at the trial, Mr.. Tucker claimed it was
the property of Mr.. Peddy, another
witness testifying that Mr.. Peddy had
claimed ownership of it.
When all the testimony was in, and
the attorneys had presented their ar
guments, the defendant was found
guilty as noted
Edwin Spencer, Jr, attorney for the
defense, states that the case will be
appealed. A. R. Carver appeared for
the city.
Immediately after the case had been
disposed of, the county authorities ar
rested both Tucker and Peddy, and
each put up bond of $500 to answer
to the county court on a liquor charge.
