THE CNuNTRrs GREAT TROUBLE

We think it is fair to say thai
there is Iinore political unrest ir
the United States than as ever
known before. There are more
shocking crimes recorded daily
than ever before. The reasons are
that the business of the country
is disjcinted. The amazing
spectacle is presented Of the banks
in the east bursting with mones
and the business of the people ir
every state depressed. Men ask
the reason and wonder why it il
80 when in truth the reason seems
plain enough. The financial
system of the land is no system al
all. 1t is what might be expected
as the result of the planning Of
inferior men possessed of large
fortunes who have no higher motive
behind them than to get the largest
possible interest on their money.
The welfare of the country was
never in their thoughts. Rather
the thought has always been
How much of the annual savings
Of the country can we draw to
ourselYes?''
Eastern papers and magazines
are filled with advertisements of
loan companies Offering bonds for
sale and sQlemnly averring that
the bonds will certainly pay from
5 per cent upward. They are SELL
ing those bonds on commission.
When they take them it is on a
contract to sell them on COM
mission Of from 2 to 10 per cent.
If they can sell 100000 of such
bonds in a day and draw down $4,-
600 in commission, that means, at
the same rate. more than $1,000
600 year and they are out nothing
but office rent, lights and clerk
hire. But present a legitimate
business proposition to them and
they will reject 1t unless IL is some
tremendous enterprise, the profit
80 which arc TO be counted in
millions. This really places the
financial. direction of the affairs in
the hands Of some few pawn
brokers in New York City.
And IL is all due to the syst en-.
The business of the republic at
large is in their grasp. and in as
much as their study Is conferred on
how to get the most interest for
themselves. there is depression and
apprehension everywhere. Our
national banks were dictated in the
stress Of great and doubtful war,
dictated by men who had hidden
their gold, and It was founded on
the Understanding debt Of the
country. The last gun of the war
was fred more than forty.six years
ago but half that debt is still bear.
Ing interest; the people arc paving
the interest upon it, and the inten-
tion Of those who are drawing that
interest Is that they shall continue
paying that interest forever. Since
then our mines have yielded more
than 1000 millions of gold; the
yield from factory and field ha,
been almost ineotimable but those
bonds run on like the brook, for.
ever. and the amount that the
people have paid in interest would
buy any empire on earth, save two.
And still men cannot. on the best
security borrow money for legiti.

ply systems, the construction of plants
for the proper disposal of sewerage and
domestic wastes, the construction of
plants for the proper disposal of sewer
age and domestic wastes, and also in re-
lation to the drainage in so far as these
matters may affect the public health.
A bill which is thought to meet the
requirements and that should satisfy any
conditions which may arise and may be
found necessary TO control, has been
drawn and sent 10 the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the Legislature now

whenever in the opinion of the State
Health Officer the necessities of santa
ton in and about the State may require
an expert opinion and decision in regard
to the construction of sewers, drainage
OF sanitary character, the disposal of
sewerage and domestic wastes, or the
institution of potable water supply for
any of the cities or towns of the State of
Florida
Sec. 2. That the Sanitary Engineer as
provided for by Section 1 of this Act
shall only be employed at such times
and such periods as in the judgment of
the State Health Officer his expert SER
vices may be required.

services of the Sanitary Engineer pro-
vided for in Sections land of this Act
shall be fixed by the State Health Offic-
er with the approval of the President of
The State Board of Health.
Sec. 4. That all laws or parts of laws |
N conflict with any of the provisions of
his Act are hereby repealed.
Sec. 5. That this Act shall take effect
On the approval by the Governor.

How They Judge a Town.

You can't judge a.town by the reports
of travelling man. He boosts, OF
knocks. according to the business he
does. The Davenport 0owa) Demo
Gratis says: "There is nothing to these
boosts or knocks except an indication of
the kind of a day the traveller has had
If he has made a number OF good sales,
the town looks SO good 10 him that he
draws upon his large command OF
English for extravagant words of praise.
If he has failed TO make fair record
of sales, for whatever reasons, the street
look muddy 10 him, the buildings looks
ramshackle, and even the skies look
dark and gloomy" Ii has been notice
able fact that Palatka, for the past three
years, has always looked good to the
drummer who has something good to sell.

Course In Kindness.

We believe that there should be a
course in the public schools, all grades.
devoted to Observation-Disclosures; the
rights of four-footed and feathered
flOcks.
We are improving slowly. We lay
out bird reservations. Robins nest in
the naples in our most crowded dis
tricts. Birds that for years sought the
depths Of the forests now rear their
young within hearing of the o a Of
the street cars. In some subtle way
they know that their chances for pro-
lection have been increased, claims
the Cincinnati Post. They do not
know that kindness is being taught
and brutality discouraged in countless
homes.
Yes, we are improving. but we want
the world to move faster-and We
plead for school education that will
teach the coming generation to be
kind to animals and all birds.
