The strain upon him must be almost in- tolerable, for he feels that he is de- barred from even the common privi- lege of indulging his grief without stint and hiding hig face from the sight of men. The burden of his great office, heavier now than ever before, is waiting for him, and the world crisis, demanding the cteers- man at the helm of the ship of State and grudging even the time needed to attend the funeral of his wife, calls him back to duty, with hardly a decent interval to conform to the conventions of mourning. But Wood- row Wilson is strong bevond most ‘men, and in the very nature of the arduous work to which he returns, Wwith its incessant claims upen \his mind and time, he will find his | quickest and boest relief from his | consuming sorrow. e Mr. Wessels. said to have been employed by the gentlemen in charge of the plan to securc a hibit at San Francisco, to go the State and raise the money that purpose, is a person unknown to the people of Florida and several | papers want to know who he is and | Why a stranger has been selected for | Florida ex- | over for the job. Mr. Wessel aid to have a glittering and luxuriant line of talk as a speiler, but we think his selection an uwnfortunate one \,\'" we understand it, he is not a citi- zen of the State, and when it comes to separating the people of Ilorida from their money to the extent ot $150,000 to get an exhibit at San Francisco, we apprehend that he will speil in v It will take ex- tremely high-el folks to accomplish a s, well-known home | task of and, while we have noth- ! ing to say against Mr. that magnitude, Wessels, we have nothing to say in favor of hisl appointment as at present advised Referring to our prediction of some weeks 022 that dipiomacy would find a way out for the Euro- pean nations without resorting to war the Pensacola Journal says that “the war editor of the Telegramn has another guess coming.” He has, several more, and with undiminished confidence in his prophetic ken (the best of prophets fall down occasion- ally) he limits the actual fighting of the present war to eight months, and at the end of that time univer- sal peace will be seen approsching on the winged feet of Mars. We are indebted to the chaste and vivid fancy of Colonel Joseph Reese, of the Orlando Reporter-Star, for this fine figure of speech and we wrap our plain prophecy in its shimmer- ing folds with sure faith that our lest dove of peace will arrive on time. The best of prophecy is but guessing of\h shrewder kind, for ionly unto the Lord of Hosts is all the future known. . The Germans killed in have shrunk from and the Americans stranded in Europe and howling for help from their dear government at home have diminished in numbers from 100,000 to 20,000, War is a storm that upsets all our sense of propor- tion, and exaggeration, half Lrother to falsehood, fills the sensation-lov- ing minds of men with all sorts of front of 25,000 to 8,000 misinformation and gross inaccura- cies. And some of them are em- .h('(hl(‘d in history to stay there for- evermore. The Pensacola News pointe ont the fact that the cutting of the Ger- man cable deprives us of war news from German sources and this should be kept in mind by all newspaper readers. It is human nature to color even news to suit our side, and with English censors on the job, Ger- many's side of the case ig not iikely to be as fully and kindly cared for There will be no suppression of vital facts, but the German cause has no friend in the censor’s court. 0 NEW YORK TIMES UPHOLDS COMMISSION GOVERNMENT It ig not the amount of money an individual, a firm or a coramunity spends that counts, but what is re- ceived in return for the expenditure.

The New York Times editorially answers this objection as follows: “Denver reports, after one year's trial of commission government, that it is considerably more expensive than the old way, but suspicion that there is something dubious or wrong about this conclusion is warranted. The mere fact that the city has spent more this year than last proves nothing at all. Obviously, it might have done that without any credit to the new system ag cient or uneconomie. L0 commission ment, like any other, can be 2o0od or bad. dis- ineffi- course, qovern- Its mere adoption docs solve one municipal problem, only claim ever made for it that it makes the solution of munic- ipal problems easier and gives more definiteness to the responsibility of officials. “Denver should be more interest- ed in the question whether it got its money’'s worth than irn the amount it spent, and on the answer to that question depends the verdict of its experiment with the new plan.” PN R Yes, Drat Ye We Beat Ye to It!
