The Christmas edition of the Florida papers, daily and weekly, are coming in now, and they make us proud of our State press, for they show unmistakably steady progress and betterment and a virile journal- ism which i9 one of the big factors in the growth of the State and clear proof that it is growing. The news- } paper development in Florida the last ten years has been indeed won- derful and our State press need not shrink from comparison with that of any State in the Union. —_—0— For the first time since the battle of Hastings in the Twelfth century, if our recollection is correct, a hos- tile blow has been delivered on English soil by a foreign foe. And vet how worse than futile a nd wan- tonly cruel was that raid of the Ger_ ‘man cruisers in which nearly seven_ ty helpless non-combatant English men, women and children were slain without warning and their homes destroyed! It will merely intensify the hatred between the two nations, leave bitter memories for centuries and have not the slightest effect in bringing the war to a close or de- ciding the character of the result.

LORD ROBERTS’ OPINION OF STONEWALL JACKSON Irvin Cobb, the crackerjack war writer of the Saturday Evening Post, while in England recently that he not only achieved the impossible by interviewing Lord Kitchener, the su_ preme commander of the British larmy, but he was actually invited to the home and got a fine feed from ‘and an illuminating talk out of the [great Lord Frederick Roberts, Brit- fain’s most beloved and famous sol- dier, who had retired from active service and died a few weeks after Cobb met him. From that inter- view we reproduce the following 'which makes mighty pleasant read- ing for the Confederate Veterans of this country. Lord Roberts was re- gretting that he had mever visited the United States, and said: ' “I would give a good deal to be able to say that I had gone over the country where the chief operations of your great war took place and the spots where the principal bat- tles were fought. America produced some magnificent soldiers In those four years—and the greatest of them, to my way of thinking, was ' Jackson—Stonewall Jackson. In my opinion Stonewall Jackson wag one of the greatest natural military 'geniuses the world ever saw. I will go even further than that—as a campaigner in the field he never had a superior. In some respects T doubt whether he ever had an equal.” Here some one of us was moved to repeat the story told of Jackson, that he read only two books in the ‘“Not so bad a choice—if a man two. books,” said Lord Roberts, who himself, as we knew, was of a deeply religious nature; ‘““an admir. fible choice for a soldier, at any rate. Any soldier might learn much by studying the Campaigns of Na- poleon, and Napoleon might have learned a good deal, too, by study- ing the Campaigns of Jackson, had the order of the times in which the (i s (e i VISUAL EDUCATION —_— (Board of Ilealth Bulletin ) i ———————ioa e e . to educate us.

Mr. C. H. Spencer writes an in- teresting and .suggestive letter to the Tampa Times in which he strongly urges that the people be permitted to vote on the question of the division of Florida into two States. The subject has been often discussed, but the public doesn't seem to rise to it with any enthusi- asm. But time and persistence may force the issue. Mr. Spencer says, among other things, the following, ‘which hag an appetizing flavor: “The dividing line from Leon to St. Johns counties is appropriate and such division would put Talla- hassee about the center of the old State, and this city or Lakeland should be the capital of the new State of South Florida, and we would have a capital almost within our midst, State officers familiar with our needs, and, by the way, Democratic United States senators to increase our strength in Con- gress.” —_—— The Christmas edition of the Tampa Times is an 80-page dread- naught, a magnificent success quite characteristic of that great Florida newspaper. In its hugeness and richness, its copious display of big advertising and itg vast variety of excellent reading matter this issue of the Times would make the croak- er and calamity howler fairly sick with ehngrin'. for it spells prosper- ity for both the paper and its pa- trons and that's just what the croaker doesn’t want to discover. two ! obpened particularly for the colored population, the attendance was larger than during any other sim- ilar period of the exhibition. There can be little doubt that the influence of this visual demonstra- tion of modern sanitation methods and results was far more valuable as an educating influence to the un- professional laymen of Florida, than days and weeks of academic discus- sion of the same subjects could have been, and that it merited the unstinted praise bestowed vy emi- ‘nent physicians and sanitary work_ ers from all parts of the country, 'who were in attendance upon the iconvention of the American Public Health Association. Florida’s State Board of Health had one of the finest and most com- 1plete displays of the entire exhibi- tion. The work of the board in its ‘campaigns against various diseases, the advance of sanitation, the re- sults gained u nder the provisions of the State appropriation for the treatment of indicent crippled chil. dren, and several other importan. subjects were understandingly illus. trated. The value of vaccination and the alternative results of neglecting this safeguard against smallpox were shown in striking photographs. Pictures and charts and models demonstrated visually the relations of unscreened earth closets to the spread of typhoid fever, and many bther important subjects were graphically outlined. It was an ex_ hibit valuable particularly for the leace to continue its operations. —— Darid MeNieall, vice rresident ¢f tt2 Canadian Tae!fle, after fortr J2ars of eervice, has resigned, ef- fortive Jan. 1. e will remaln on tho teard ef @irzetors GIVE US A TRIAL Kibler Hotel Basement.
