NOtwithstanding the fact that wages
are better than they have ever been N
this country the scarcity OF labor is be-
coming peFplexing problem and prob
lem which must be met and solved OF
else business will be greatly retarded.
Good wages IL seems is not an induce
ment for men 10 work for with al the
offers Of fair wages that are made and
Notwithstanding the fact that men are
being sent into every part Of the coun-
try IN search Of labor there Is at pres
ent a greater number Of idlers than
have ever been known at any previous
time. SO II 10 plain that good wages
does not increase the number OF labor
ers. While we would not by any means
advocate low wages we are OF the opin-
ion that so far a. colored labor is con-
cerned low wages would solve the prob
lem. All the average negro wants IL
enough TO 60 on and If 20 men can earn
enough to support 40 men then there
will be only 20 men at work and the 9th
er 20 will live by gambling or some 9TH
err means and make the 20 labOrers sup
port them in their idleness.
There isn't any doubt but what the
negro is the most satisfactory labor to
be had, especially in the South, but since
the negro refuses TO work 1t seems that
it has reached the point where the inn
portation Of labor has become necessi-
ty.
1t occurs to US that the enforcement
of the vagrancy law passed by the last
Florida legislature would TO some extent
relieve the situation. II the negro was
given to understand that he must either
go to work for wages or for the state
without wages we believe that. many of
them could be induced to go work.

We think under the minute order
and circumstances related, the power
inherent in Judge. Curler to extend
the time of filing the notice and state
ment became conferred upon Judge
Murphy during the formers absence.
and that Judge Murphy became the
Judge in charge, endowed with the au-
thority to grant the extension without
the presentation of the affidavit show
ing the absence or inability of Judge
Curler, as the rule requires before the
order can be made by Judge not
having the business in charge.
Judge Curer's absence was presum-
ed to continue until his return was
shown and consequently Judge Muir
phys authority based upon that alb
sence would likewise continue. It is
said that under the first statute men
toned, the language that ''the court
| or Judge before whom the case was
tried" may extend the time invali-
| dates the order, because Judge Muir
ply was not the judge before whom
| it was tried. and that he was not the
court after he returned to Carson City

Peabody did not attempt to conceal

every tone of his voice when addressing
her was torture to Raymond, who be-
