ON RATES ceeene..$5.00 . 2,50 From the same office I8 issued THE LAKELAND NEWS, A weekly newspaper giving a resume of local matters, crop conditions, eounty affairs, etc. Sent anywhere for $1.50 per year, The Jacksonville Metropolis should not get so busy declaring war that it neglect to plant a hen. PSR PSR, Tt was not to be expected that the Legislature could get through agon- fzing without some Wailes. ——D These Germans should be taught some of our slogans, such as plant a hen, buy a bale, etc. They don't seem to knoy any except ‘“‘shoot a man,” or ‘‘sink s Gilehrist’s candidacy is an insur- ance policy against dullness in the senatorial campaign. The genial ex- governor's contributions to political literature are always entertaining. AR One sensible man, anyway—F. A. Wood, of St. Petersburg, refuses to list to the buzz of the political bee, and says he’ll not run for congress in this district. That note the President is send- ing the Kaiser this evening consists of from twelve to fifteen hundred words. He couldn’t get it all on a post-card. ——0 Watermelons a little late this sea- son, but they'll be all the more ap- preciated when they arrive. Mean- while we're sharpening our appe- tites in anticipation of the plenty we'll do to 'em when opportunity rolls around, e They say Rube Allyn’s print-shop is out on a dock, where he can vary business with pleasure by writing a line, setting a line, and throwing a line out to the fishes. And yet that man wants to go to war! . perversity of some people passeth all understanding. 0 While there is not a chance for a serious thought in the big three reel comedy, “How Cissy Made Good,” which will be presented at the Lyric tonight, no doubt every time the late John Bunny appears in the picture a tender spot in the hearts of his old admirers will be touched. 0 All us prominent fellers are mak- ing observations on the Lusitania tragedy and Billy Sunday’'s contri- bution to the symposium is “To hell with Germany!” Which is about the most sensible as well as the most ele- gant expression we have seen credit- ed to Billy for some time. o The Tampa Times wants to know “if a diaphanous dream appeared in one ray of sunlight and a European battle in another, which way should a ‘perfect gentleman’ look?” Huh! That’s easy. The real trial on a per- fect gentleman’s eyesight would oc- cur if two diaphanous dreams ap- peared going in different directions. S o An anxious constituent wired his eenator at Tallahassee, “‘Use your in- fluence to kill bills.” The senator was puzzled at this comprehensive order, but we think the constituent ‘was right. The more bill killing is done until adjournment of the ses- sfon the better it will be for the peo- ple, and the less work will be pro- vided for the courts. g ey Florida will again be hénored by a visit from Vice President Marshall, that distinguished gentleman being scheduled to deliver an address at Tallahassee next Monday. Mr. Mar- shall is one of the few men who have been able to rise above the obscur- ity which usually envelops the vice presidency job, and this in itself is a big tribute to his genius. We Demo- crats have such an embarrassment of riches in big men that we can afford . even in the vice president’s office. 0 | The ! |l to put a man of presidential size | organizations all over the world. | * Elbert Hubbard We have lost a man. Not in war, battle, not with the upon his face. But in the peaceful pursuit of business and pleasure while eating Juncheon on the palatial steamer that was supposed to be guarded well within by armor plated double steel and without by the strong fleet of England, mistress of the seas. A man who with his pen and up- on the lecture platform has always counseled peace, A man who has accomplished as much for the human race since his short span of scarce two years among us than any other literary genius of the age. A man of gentleness, of high ideals, an in- tellectual giant. A man of strange ways forsooth where he was past uif- derstanding and yet withal a man who was known and appreciated at his trne worth by his brethren of the press. Elbert Hubbard, Fra Elberta, went to his death last Friday on the Lusitania so the cabled message reads. We shall miss his philosophy and his gentle words of sympathy that touched the hearts of old and young folks alike, of the laboring man and the capitalist, of all classes and all kinds, A few weeks ago in a letter to the editor of The Herald he spoke of the war and said that in his opinion the awful struggle would be over within the next six months. If his untimely death and that of the other martyrs on the Lusitania hasten the end then the catastrophe has not been in vain. In a late copy of the Philistine he had the following regarding the pol- icy of President Wilson: ature’s animals once had ter- rific arrays of teeth, claws, beaks, and carried on their backs a pro- tection that was Zeppelin-proof. So long as these terrific animals existed, there was no peace for man. And there will never be a really first class race of men as long as wealth and science co-operate for killing purposes. iradually things have modified and refined themselves until we find that the unseen |is more powerful than the seen. Thought is supreme The world is ruled by sentiment. Beauty, ro- mance, poetry, blend into a harmo- nious whole, and we have the werld of business—and business is the science of human service. And yet we find the strange anachronism of the best ingenuity of man being utilized to invent in- struments of death and destruction. Well does President Wilson take the stand that this is no time for Americans to ‘‘mobilize.” 1Tt is for us to show the world the truth. “Thrice armed is he who knows his cause is just.” President Wilson’s attitude in standing firm and not giving way to the hysteria of demagoguery, repre- senting public and politics, is emi- nently wise, right, excellent, and al- together lovely. The President’s action will go down in history to the eternal credit of Woodrow Wil- son. Let this be carved on his monu- ment: HE SET HIS FACE FIRMLY AGAINST THE TRANSPLANTAT- ION OF KRUPPERY INTO AMER- ICA. We are a peaceful people, and the way we can manifest our peaceful proclivities and prove to the world that we are what we are, is by fol- lowing our regular occupations and not increasing our armament— especially in view of the fact that the expression, ‘Preparation for war spells peace,” had been found to be futile and fallacious.—Sanford Herald. lust to Kill Hamburg, May 13.—When the War is over the Colonial Institute of Hamburg expects to have on file the finest newspaper archives of the great conflict. It already possesses war material in catalogued form that would make the librarian of a newspaper green with envy. The data is catalogued and cross cata- logued down to a hair-line fineness, with thousands of clippings on hun- dreds of subjects, which are being added to at the rate of 500 clippings a day, taken from some 200 papers and periodicals from Germany and other countries. The archives were established originally to deal with politics and economics and contain, among other things, information about more than 6,000 commercial undertakings and The subjects are arranged according to the countries in which they fall, The Legislature is now beginning iand are subdivided into more than to revise downward the liquor ““I!Oo categories. lowance.

Pessimists lack the muscular reser- voirs which spell confidence and the springs of hidden power. It behooves every gloomy, morose, downhearted, downtrodden, blue, sensitive, blushing, bashtul, near or full pessimist to sail right in and educate his and her mus- cles to some degree of proficiency and efficiency.
