: Two Ways to Get Them.

There seems to be only two ways in
which these play leaders can be gotten
for Washington. One is that the teach
ers should volunteer TO do thgwork for
nothing. and to such l say believe that
you are casting your benevolences on
good soil.
THE second method to secure the
leaders is that those who can afford it
should give the money to pay the
teachers There is plenty of money In
Washington, and If we all go TO work

EASTERN TIME
AT KEY WEST
sEVENTY-FIFTH MERIDIAN TIME
NOW THE STANDARD M THE
ISLAND CITY.

A rather extraordinary event Of the
week at Key West is the decision of
the city council to go back to Eastern
standard time, says the st. Augustine
Record. Tomorrow afternoon at /
o'clock the clocks in KEY West will
be turned back to y o'clock noon,
agreeing with the 18th meridian or
Washington time, instead of, as here
tofOre, 90th meridian, or central time.
While there has been some opposition
TO this plan, the change viii meet
with general favor, as the govern
ment works. naval Offices and ship
ping ali use eastern time, which is
really correct time, as the peninsula
of Florida lies between the 80th and
83rd meridian. AS a matter of fact
eastern time ought to prevail as far
as Pensacola on the western border
OF the state, for the Goth meridian
runs through New Orleans, nearly 200
miles west Of Pensacola. The adOp-
ton of eastern time here would save
a great deal Of confusion to travellers
from eastern points and effect a
change that would more nationally dl-
vide the hours CT daylight and dark
ness in regard TO the matter Of daily
toll Key West has set an example
that may yet be followed by the en-
tire state.
