In the most unmeasured terms ever employed before Oongiess the President denounced naturalized Americans who by their sympathies for the Euro pear belligerents have endangered American neutrality. iVhile congress cheered him loudly he referred to them a> it . Having poured t>ne poison 01 disloyalty into the very arterio of our national life" and a^ those who "would turn in ma lign reaction against the government and the people who had welcomed and nurtured them." Internal taxation was proposed as the means of providing thmoney necessary to add to th*naval and military establisnments. Sources of taxation sug gested were incomes, gasoline, napr.ha, automobiles and internal explosion engines, fabricated iron and steel and a stamp tax on bank checks.

It had been expected that at least a few of the President's friends would be invited.

J , Sunday afternoon carrying 140 persons who as guests of Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer are going to Europe in an effort to induce neutral nations to take steps towards stopping the war. Mr. Ford's guest3 include 62 persons directly interested in ' ho peace movement, 64 reporters for newspapers and maga zines, three moving picture men and 20 employes ot Mr. Ford's personal staff. The party, designated by Mr. Ford as the peace expediion is lue to reach Cbristianns, Nor way, its first stopping place, ?bout December 14. The only ther stopping places already ^cided upon are Stockholm. Sweden, Copenhagen, Denmark, ml the Hague, Holland. It is probable, Mr. Ford i-aid, tha? the party will visit other European capitals, as the progress of the peace plans seem to require Atter consulting with William I. Br.\an, tormer Secretary of State, wht> arrived trom Miami, F a , to talk about the trip, Mr. Ford annoui ced that everytning was in readiness for departure, Mr. Bryan issued a statement repeating his former assertion ihat he approved of Mr. Ford's plans and that he would later join the party at The Hague. "When you arrive in Europe what will be your first step to carry out your plans to co-operate with neutral Nations towards stopping the European war?'' Mr Ford was asked. :- :_i ii... ?:n mat is a yuini in a t we will consider on the way across the ocean,*' Mr. Ford replied. William Jennings Bryan and Thomas A. Edison arrived at the dock an hour before the steamer sailed to bid farewell to Mr. Ford. Mr. Bryan spent halt an hour with Mr Ford. Why Steal Buckets When Water is Free The well on the property of Mr. D. M. Barentine, and at the side of The Advertiser office, has for a long time borne the reputation of supplying the finest water in town. This claim has been undispusted and through Mr. Barentine's liberality many people in the community have been supplied with this excel lent thirst quencher. In other respects this well seemed just like other wells, buckets and all appearing to be >nly normal?oniv the water it self is clearer, colder and sweeter than the ordinary well affords. Now it seems that someone has hit upon the idea that the virtue of this well, that spread its fame far and wide, depended upon the buckets used, or else that the old buckets, after jlunging and soaking for so i many y? ars in its sweet water 1 have absorbed its goodness to such an extent thatr they would oe able to impart that quality A'herever transplanted. At any rate someone has swiped Mr. Barentine's old buckets, Leake, patches and all ?tney are gone irom nere. in he stillness of the night the ope was cut and the faithful old ouckets carried away. It is suggested that if anothei well in the community suddenly begins to produce water of e quality like that of the well in question. Mr. Barentiue be inf rmed that he may examine the buckets.

A prominent and somewhat over-advertised manufacturer of automobiles is quoted as saying he is willing to spend his entire fortune to accomplish peace. It is a perfectly safe offer, because there is really nothing he can do about it if his fortune were ten times as large as it is. Great Britain and her allies are willing to do more. In order to accomplish peace thev are spending not millions, but billir.nQ ti.n,r ?;-~ -- I? For Florida Proposed. A very proper suggestion has been made that Florida should celebrate the centennial of her Ainericanship. February 22, 1819, Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain. Florida newspapers are urging that arrangements should be started at once for a gigantic celebration of the centennial in 1919. An exposition is suggested in soire quarters as the best means for attracting a crowd and providing an object-lesson, showing the Florida of the past and the present. An exceedingly interesting exposition could be designed and carried out, one that would portiay the romantic past of the State and that would impress the vipitor with the wide variety of opportunities and attractions which the State today presents to seekers of homes, where conditions are c,f attractive variety and form, and where the developments of the future are certain to be extensive and great. Care should be taken, however, that an exposition | within reasonable means should i be undertaken. It would be a great mistake to plan on a scale so elaborate that the project ' could not easily be carried out. ' Properly designed and wisely t executed, the plan should appeal i to all the people of Florida and should receive the endorsement > of the public at large.?The Manufacturers Record. Box Supper at Ruby t The ladies of the Metlmdist 1 church of Ruby will giv? m box 1 supper on Dec. loth fcv the - benefit of the church A cordial J invitation is extended tOall, AIICJ U I c Ulicnug up II U~ man life, with the entire approval of the soldier who makes the personal sacrifice. They are doing that also by the million, and the Detroit manufacturer, however rich he may be, has not enough money to buy a single one of tliese lives. It must be plain to any reasonable persjn that the conception of peace held by the Allies is the true one. They will achieve it when they have made conditions such that there shall be no more war. A mere truce, giving Gemany a chance to build up again its war machine and devise some expedient for evading the overwhelming predominance of the British navy, which alone has brought German world ambitions to naught, would not be peace at all, but a premium upon future murder. Tt. in not, hpro Bnoorootofl tl.of ? wm-w W"66V0VVU bUWU the war can continue indefinitely. For financial reasons alone there is good ground for supposing that it is nearing its close. But a peace on the lines suggested by our maudlin and befogged peace advocates here is unthinkable. Germany is beaten now. She was beaten when the first rush on Paris failed. 8he can only make the beating more expensive to her adversaries, and this she is doing. But peace is an impossibility until she has learned ouce an.l for all that she is beaten, and, in the spiritual and eternal fact, beaten for all time. iiotton Market Ootton 12:75.
