Quaintance, in Lnkehnd.—Jackscn,i There is something ludicrous in the inconsistency of the crities: and opponents of the administration in the matter of the ship purchase bill now pending in the Senate. Most of l AR A AR AA R AR ville Metropolis. them are Republicans, who criticisé and oppose merely as a cut and dried matter of party policy to pre. vent a signal Democratic triumph; but they are joined by a small bunch of Democrats, who will later on be compelled to account to their con- stituents for their defection from the party at a critical moment when | it was seeking to aid the country hy" It is extremely regrettable that one of the splendid big floats that were to make Lakeland so obvious in the Gasparilla parade today,'broke down en route to Tampa and could not be repaired in time to take part in the glittering pageant. But Lake- land has such high repute and her appearance on such occasions is so confidently expected that ghe is only the enactment of a law that would | 1688 conspicuous by her absence than ‘build up an American merchant ma., rine and emancipate our commerce : from slavery to a foreign shipplngl trust . ; But the inconsistency lies in the fact that these peaqe-at-any-price opponents of the shipping bill were but a few months ago railing at President Wilson because he refused to perpetrate the stupid folly and in- famous: crime of going to war with poor, weak Mexico without any de- cent reason whatever, and with their mouths dripping with tommyrot about “the honor of the flag and the ‘dgnity of the nafion,” were sneer.| fng et the “watchful waiting” that saved the country, from a disgrace=~ ful confli¢t. ~ Now: y tremble in their hoots' at the podsible wrath of foreign nations because we ohoose to exercide our unquestioned Tight of Biying ships ‘to carry on our com- meroe, 40d, atraining at the Mexi. ean gnst, they Ond no difaulty tn | awallowing 54 eamel of abuslo the nation betore the world"in feaT of the frowns ot Grest Britain 'A)ndll gt 18 o humbitating apéetacte, #tibuster in the Senste against t shipping biil, and there is & shipping tiust “nigiér in the woodpile,” &lso, as well as the allaged fear of Edg- land and Gérmany. Senator James, of .Kentueky, told the truth about tho situation when he said in the debate on the ship purchase bill: “It is no wonder that you filibus- ter all night long, and put up your great leader, Mr. “Smoot, to break the record in a thirteéen-hour speech. You are fighting for the life of the TRepublican party. “But what about our other griends? They say that it will bring war. When did you get that idea? For almost two years I have heard the Republicans on the other side rise and asfail the president of the United States for 'his ‘“‘watchful waitliig.” How you sneered at him! ‘Hiow you said he was a weakling! How you talked about Mexico, Mex! 4co! But the president, the greatest wdvocate of peace who has appeared upon this earth since the Prince of Peace stood at the Sea of Galilee, prevented his country from going to war. And now what is the matter? We have not ships to gend our pro- ducts abroad, because you are .luld‘ that this man who stood for peace even under your bitter attack after attack will do what? Force the country into war. “You know the war they are afraid of. The war that the Ship. ping Trust is afraid of is not a war between countries; it is a war upon their outrageous and confiscatory rateg upon the American shippers, the farmers of this land, the manu- facturers of this land. That is the war they are scared about.” R S That was an awful confusion of metaphors which prompted the Jacksonville Metropolis to shout its elogan “Plant a Hen!” but the meaning was obvious and the advice excellent, and we hope that good has followed. But even better than the *plant a hen" propaganda is one nearly akin to it, in which the Tele= gram long ago enlisted, and raising the banmer of “In Hog Signo + Vinces,” urged its fellow citizens to £0 in for hogs, at least one pig for every farmer no matter how poor and humble the latter. Our State is ' coming rapidly to the front in grow . ing cattle, but hogs are even n' bet - ter and a surer crop, with larver profit on the sum invested, and one pig well fed from ‘the slops and waste around the premises is the biggest little investment that any farmer can make. It is a sure money ¢ any month in the year and the pi is’ always profitable. .

OIL TREATMENT FOR STOMACH TROUBLES ‘A simple prescription made up of a combination of puré vegetable oils {8 producing wonderful results for sufferers from stomach, liver and in - testinal troubles. The remedy, which is said to have originated in France, where it has been used for years by the peasantry, was intro- duced into this coumtry by George H. Mayr, a leading Chicago drug.- gist, who cured himself of severe stomach, liver and intestinal trou- bleg by its use. Those who have used it say the first dose is sufficient to convince any one of its remarkable merit, and that within twenty-four hours the sufferer feels like a new person. This medicine, which has become known as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, is sold by leading drug- gists everywhere with the positive understanding that your money will be refunded without question or quibble if ONE bottle fails to give you absolute satisfaction. !Id“llca of the official notification. ‘Wedks and months went by, with out any bad news, and the bride al 'most had forgotten the singular stateent made by her husband in the emotion of separation, when on Sunday morning, Jan. 24, she felt an irresistible desire to play a cer- tain melody that her husband Remi was nutlmgr“‘ of.
