THE FLORIDA BEE.
Florida is the land OF flowers.
Therefore the land OF bees. There
fore the land of honey. Therefore
the place where political bees do
their big buzzing.
No sooner had President Hard
ing thrown his hook overheard,
hoping to catch a tarpon, than
there was an exodus Of poll
ticians to Florida. And they all
heard the buzzing.
Mr.. Bryan was already there
for he has been a citizen of
Florida since 1921. He has heard
the buzzing Of Presidential bees
SO long that he discounts their
music more than he did when he
lived in Nebraska. Their are more
bees in Florida in the winter and
no music Is so enhancing when
you have heard it every day for
twenty years as when it first lulls
you into happiness.
Soon James M. Cox was found
riding the waves and listening to
the bee. T4ylan and Hearst found
their way to Palm Beach to hear
what the wild waves and the bees
would sing. AL Smith and Gif
Pinchot had legislatures "on their
hands" but they had representa-
tives busy listening. Ralston put
up a radio set so the buzzlng
could reach him at long distance.
Underwood had a shorter cir
cult to reach him at Birmingham
and a long-wave ether to watt
the buzzing as he sailed for
Europe, In the quiet of the Old
World. plus the radio messages
he will make up his mind.
McAdoo went to Augusta, where
the flowers bloom as freely and
the bees buzz as rnerr1ly as they
do in Florida. AS for that mat
ter two years ago he went to
Los Angeles. that land Of charm
where the bees make honey and
sing their song all tho year
round.

"WF4Y DO FLORIDA BEES BUZZ SO ENTICINGLY

I Not many years ago the prede-
cessor of Warren Gamaliel Hard
ing upon an important occasion
uttered the sentence, Politics is
adjourned" 1t seemed to him a
patriotic and sensible and proper
statement.
The lives Of millions Of men were
in jeopardy and death moved in
every passing breeze, with poisoned
gas sitting and choking the brav-
est Of the brave. Certainly il there
ever was a time when Patriotism
should be spelled with a big ''P''
and politics with a lit Ne "p' that
was the time. That short sentence
appeared in a long speech Of great
import.
In Maine and Texas that sen.
tence gripped the fathers and
mothers who lived in agony be-
cause their boys in France looked
death in the face every min.
ute. They had no stomach for
the ways Of politics in that SUI
preme moment.
And so when the President
announced as IL ex cathedra pol
itics is adjourned" they hailed
the deliverance with joy and
applause. But, if the President
or the fathers of our fighting
men thought that declaration
would turn the thoughts from
politics even in war, they had
a rude awakening next day..
BREATH OF THEIR NOSTRILs.
Washington eats and sleeps and
drinks politics. AS to the lat

people who were printed az pat

could be obtained if they were
willing to become violators Of
the law.
And Washington folks-I am
not now speaking Of the happy
and contented cave-dwellers who
live in Washington their own
lives ana are not helped nor
troubled by politics or official
domp-proceeded to show the afore-
said former President that, while
he might be able to mobilize or
demobAize the fighting forces of
the country and exercise powers
greater than King George. he
could not by any executive proc
lamation or statement put them
out of business.
