The vessel was one of the mightiest works of man, yet, in conflict with the elemen- tal forces of nature, it was as the merest cockle shell which the break- ers toss upon the beach. Swallowed by the sea, which through all time has taken its toll of those who go down to it in ships, in a few moments not a ripple or a bubble marked the consummation of the greatest mari- time tragedy of modern times. And 80 one of the greatest mechanical and material achievements of man went down. There was great wealth on the ship. Men were there whose millions made them masters of the lives of many of their fellow men; whose word in the world of finance could cause industrial conditions that would bring prosperity or distress to entire communities; whose power was that of nncrowned kings, But like the toy, Titinic, in that grim hour was the bauble, wealth-—an insigniticant, use- less trifle; powerless to purchase ono iota of the only thing that then had value dife! And wealth - the thing most sought and prized at other times went down! There was pride on the ship-—-arro- gance, self sufliciency, scorn of the humbler brother. But with the crash that brought the presence of the Great Leveler, massaged and mani- cuared and richly dressed millionaire stood on the same footing as the half- naked and grimy stoker who a mo- ment before was shoveling coal into the Titanic’s mighty furna . And pride, and arrogance, and scorn of class and hate of caste went down with the ship. But, oh loyalty there, too, was love and heroism, self-sacritice, These things did not go down with the ship. Like the aroma of incense, the odor of the good deeds that blossomed in that supreme hour, will rise from that ‘atal spot, far out on the sad and olemn sea, and diffuse its f throngh far-off lands rance bringing the ssurance that men may yet be de- wnded upon to develop hevofe and nanly qualitics whenever a erisis allsi that commercialism and the welfishness begotten of super-civiliza- cion has not yet eliminated from the arts of men the chivalry and no- ility of character that form human- ty's fairest flower. Nearly all of the survivors of the reat tracedy are women! Pamper ionaire and poverty- inched 1 . in the face of the nighty crisis, were men! Men who corned to use their superior strength it the expense of the weak; men of he mould of which martyrs are nade; men who went down into the lepths with the glory of great sac- ifice shining in their faces—who died -hat others might live! *“"Tis not upon the scaffold high, Nor in the battle’s van— The fittest place for man to die Is where man dies for man!” N THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., APRIL 17, 1912.

The pylon is a massive rectangular| tower about 15 feet in height, It |om-u|;i¢-s the center of an ornamen- tal fountain, water for which is sup- plicd trom the bronze heads of dol- phins, on each side of the pylon. { The statue of John Paul Jones| stands at the base of the monument in front of the pedestal, It is of he- roic proportions, being about 10 feet high. The great naval commander fs shown in full uniform, with an expression and pose suggestive of his nmdomnitable will and nunconquer- able spirit. He has been modelled as though watching a naval engage- ment. His right hand is clenched and his left hand clutches a sword. As the sculptor put it, “Here is the representation of 4 man capable o doing almost anything, and not sim- | ply a man can do only one| thing.” There are several appropriate in- who seriptions on the memorial, suggest- ed by Representative Lemuel P Pad- | gett, of Tennessee, chairman of the House committee on naval affai and approved by the Jones memorial commission, consisting of the secre- taries ot war and navy and the chair- men of the congressional commitiees Under the statue is in- { on library. sceribed: ST 1ge2.” “Hirst foreign men-of-war the Stars and Stripes.” To compel To strike colors to There are two inscriptions on the rear of the pylon, One of these is on the stone forming the cap of the shaft.
