The reunion is over; the old sol- diers have nlearly all gone home, glad to have met each other once again and delighted with the hospi- tality they received, and Lakeland can shake hands with herself on a big promise faithfully kert and a ‘big job well done. Good luck to the old boys and may they live to meat in annual reunion for many years to come. e The Zolfo Truth believes that “it is high time that one faction of the Democratic party in Florida discon- tinued masquerading as Democrats e e stroyed by‘snot and-#Léll and flames and prices will be away up. The who have svisian |ecough to look beyond the war may well contemplate the prospect with smiling faces. ST A Carranza is a gentleman of nerve at least. His proposition that he will step dewn and out and retire to private life if Villa will do like- wise must have disposed the latter to boisterous laughter. Think of Villa meekly subsiding at this stage of the game with an army at his back and a popularity throughout Mexico doubtlesg never equaled. P A majority of the electors of Ocala voted bonde for sewerage in the election there Tuesday, but turned down the proposition for paving, ‘waterworks and municipal ice plant. It was a peculiar division of judg- ment, for it would seem at this dis- ‘tance that paving and waterworks would naturally go with sewerage. The Ocala Banner deplores the re- sult and feels that it is “a long step backwards.” o0— GOOD ROADS DEMONSTRATION Attention is called to the demon- stration of the asphaltic oil and sand road which is to take place to- morrow (Saturday) at Dade City.

Here in Polk county we have several other products as well as cranges and grapefruit to bring us in the cash—strawberries, for in- stance—but there can be a slump in those things also, and the Citizen is wise when it says that ‘“the remedy is cattle, for all the world wants beef and the price constantly goes higher.” Overproduction along that line is not possible now and there is no more profitable form of prop- erty than a fat steer. Florida is coming into nation-wide recogni- tion as an exceptionally fine country for cattle raising ‘where the costly item of winter feed has been reduced to the minimum by nature itself with an open range every day in the year. As a consequence cattle mar- kets like Chicago are now looking te Florida about as regularly for beet on the hoof as to the great ranges of Texas and other States in the West, and if our people will furnish the cattle there will alwsys be a good market for them and there will be no peril of freeze or over-produc- tion to encounter. PSS Sy That great armies are needed to protect the frontiers of contiguous nations is a fallacy conspicuously disproved in the cave nf this country and Canada where an imaginary line nearly four thousand miles long divides the two nations and there isn’t a soldier along the whole length except:a very few for police and custom house duties. Those governments in ‘Europe ought to have learned from us in that re- spect, and they probab.y will after the war is over. On this point the Saturday Evening Post aiys “For four thousand miles on the north a mere chalk mark separates us f rom the British Empire. Nobody on either side of the iine is uneasy about that. Years of fair dealing, mutual respect, courtesy and good will make infinitely stronger de- fenses against war hetween North and South, or between the United States and Canada, than if we had all the Kaiser's soldiers or all the King's ships. The relations between this country and Central America and South America are praobably better at this writing than they have ever been before. The modera- tion, patience and convincing proofs of genuine good will that we showed in the Mexican affair are tne reasons for this. We could have driven Huerta out of Mexico at the point of the bayonet and thereby earned a quantity of Latin-American sus- picion, irritation and hatred, which, in turn, would have made it advis- able for us to strengthen our army and navy. Our most dependable na- tional defenses against war are jus- tice, moderation and good will. This war is not an argument for another army corps or a new stride in navy |/ building. That is the road Europe has traveled. In northeastern France we see its goal.” TS S Wken the European war ends ev- ery sawmill in the South will he working overtime to furnish the lumber to rebuild all those cities, towns, villages and farm hoases de- ithat the road making is now in the best state of construction for the purpose of demonstration and a big ought to be there as well as from other and surrounding counties. 7:20.

John J. Englis, Com. Florida Division SEEPPPPPIFEEIRPPEIIPLBPBN o —— To the Florida Division of the Unit- ed Confederate Veterans: My Dear Comrades: It is with a keen gense of my obligations to you, my comrades, that 1 come to bring an account of my administration of the trust that you have honored me with at your last convention. When I recall the unexpected kindness that placed me at the head of the Division; the great surprise of my life to wake up in the morning and find myself the recipient of the highest honor that could be be- stowed upon any citizen of our State —the commander in chief of the Florida Division, United Confede- rate Veterans—I realize that I can- not find words to compass my grat- itude, or express my thanks. This one thought is very precious to me: “I am in one sensc, at least, in line with those noble men—chk-: inson, Ballentine,” Fleming, Jewell, Wittich, Law, Davant, Pasco, Cox and Partridge—'who did not seek the post of honor, or descend to the po- litical arena to secure piace; but, with a dignified humility, in the ranks waited for the office to claim the man.”” Let this first personal touch with my comrades tring you my hearty assurance of love and of gratitude. Let the gratitude of our heartsl again descend to the God of Battles, .who kept us in the days of hard-' ship, and through the scenes of | |us in our days of interstate warfare. | Let us thank God that we meet! We are here in this hospitable city, the guests of this good corner in Dixie’s land. Let us make the most of it. I commend unto you, my comrades, that brotherly kindness that should characterize the conduct of all of our proceedings. If we have differ-, ences of opinion, let us esteem him noblest whose forbearance is great- est; and when we shall have ad-! journed to return to our homes, let those who have honored our meet-| ings with their presence be con- strained to say, ‘“‘How beautiful for brethren to dwell together in unity.” - . Your Division commander, in fak- ing command of the Division, tound: an enrollment of 40 Camps and, ,133 members. He will deliver to' his successor 36 Camps and 1,067 members. Wihen we consider that the average age of the Confederate Veteran is 75 years, we must expect : increased and rapid decimation on! account of death. The Grim Reaper has gathered many rich sheaves from our ranks. This fact ls accentuated in my mind | by the loss of one of my most es- teemed staft officers, Col. Henry Curtis, of Camp D. L. Keenan. At the hour of 12 noon, all business will be suspended and tributes to the memory of this comrade will be offered. Unto the unknown dead, ,them present that our comrades in the ranks, your commander especially invites the Di- vision to speak from the heart in tribute to their memories. Your commander is pleased to re- port upon the Soldiers’ Home, in the city of Jacksonville, from » personal knowledge. Under the excellent management of Comrade Hy Kobin- son, and the generous provision made by our State, the purposes of the Home are realized in substantial comforts to our worthy comrades. There are at present thirty inmhtes at the home. Comrade Robinson, president of the board of trustees, hag maintained excellent discipline. His love for the cause, and his un- tiring personal and intelligent at- tention have won a great success. Since your last convention, our State has entertained successfully the Federation of Southern Confed- erate Camps. Jacksonville as a host- ess city accomplished a wonderful suctess in providing so much for so many. It is estimated that over 100,000 persons came to Fiorida to attend the reunion. 1t was a most gratifying fact to your commander to have our Division altend In such 3 large numbers. We have not reached ideal condi- tions in our efforts to have the Sons bf Veterans organize and with us. They are the heirs whatever history we have made in the past, but generally things that interest us most. Com- rades—Comrade: ' done our duty to encourage their in- terest? The organization of the United Daughters of the Confederacy is full of activities, and the State Division numbers many members. This body, like the Soms, was adopted into our organization by a resolution passed at our Bartow reunion. Your com- mander wishes to say to any of their presence brings pleasure and inspiration to us; and to renew the invitation to attend our sessions, at any and all times. The monument to the memory of \the woman of the Southern Confed- eracy will be presented fully in a report from the board of trustees. There hag been no lack upon the part of the trustces to complete the necessary work of financing the proposition. The report - of ‘the trustees treats in detail this 'most important work; and your com- mander commends unto you this message from your servants. In conclusion, your commander begs your indulgence in the exer- cises that are to follow. If you will favor him with good and orderly at- tention, aid him in his honest de- termination to facilitate business, be charitable in criticising the chair—he pledges his appreciation of your kindness, and his best effort to make this a profitable reunjon.
