A If ever a man had earned a va- cation that man is President Wil- son, for no president since Lincoln has ever worked harder or endured more during his term. His little “lay-off"” of three or four days at (Cornish, New Hampshire, seems as a mere bite for a starving man, but it will help some. ~~~~~ ry SRR Tomorrow morning the Tampa Times, generally conceded to be Florida®s laading afternoon paper, makes a new departure and will is- sue a Sunday morning edition. It is going to he a crackerjack, of course, for The Times does every- thing on a crackerjack scale and we shall look for the paper with much interest. SO S The Clearwater Sun has encoun- tered a typical citizen of Lakeland, one of our invincible army of boos- ters, and has this to say about him: “D. R. Keyes was entertaining a €entleman from Lakeland yester- day and was trying to impress upon him that Clearwater was a better town than Lakeland ‘All over this land," said the Lakeland man, ‘ba- bies are taught to lisp papa and mamma as the utterances of their offspring. In our town they are taught first to say Lakeland, and to holler it the rest of their lives.’ " SRR I S If Senator Bryan gets that fed- eral judgeship we are going to have a brief spell of political ex- citement here in Florida in the matter of his successor in the Sen- ate that will make the European war take second place as a matter of thrilling interest with such gen- tlemen as aspire to the succession. Frank Clark wants the place and he is going after it at the next sena- torial primary, but he would be perfeetly willing to hold p LA first by appointment the time-being, douhtless own for o < Dr. Samuel Dickie, a distin- 1ed Michigan college president, who was in Switzerland fuis as a dele- gate to an international peace con- ference when the war broke out, €ot home the other day after a try- Ing experience in making his way through Germany and gave it as his opinion to the when he re- turned that “Emperor William had clean stark mad and s by the that he is di- vinely appointed to rule the whole world.” It may be so, but it must be admitted that it is madness with a great deal of method in it. press gone obsessed idea In our humble judgment General Kitchener is the greatest soldier Great Britain has p roduced since the Duke of Wellington. He is a born leader and commander, cool, clear-headed, with marked capacity , for organization, and above ulll things a relentless fighter. He is needed in France now at the head of the British army seeking to stem the German advance more than he is in London at the head of the Jritish board of strategy . —— MONEY CAN'T MEASURE IT There is no use to talk about the European war in terms of mere money and stand aghast at the stupendous expenditure. The daily cost is estimated at $55,000,000 and the sum total at the end will be almost inconceivable. But what of it? Each nation will solve its cwn money problem by issuing pa- per currency to the extent required, without any reference to the gocld standard, and patriotism and the ssities of the case will give it the needed purchasing power. e have become such a world of dollar nee worshippers that we measure all human calamities in terms of meney, whereas the very least im- portant feature of this terribly cata- clysm in Europe is its cost in cash or what goes for cash. That loss may be quickly repaired, for war has never vet seriously hurt a na- tion worth surviving in that way. But the awful ioss of life and de- struction of homes; the immeasur- able suffering, physical and moral, the unchecked cdominance of evil passions raging Jike a deadly epi- demic through all the land, and the hideous brutalizing of millions of human hearts, including even the very children, venomous with hate to be handed down from father to son through many generationg to breed more wars in future—these are the fearful ravages of the con- flict which money can never repair, and the least of ©urope’s troubles today is that daily cost of the war measured in terms of cash.
