Acted Like a Man.

A dispatch from Tallahassee says
that following the recent decision of
the United States supreme court in
dismissing his claim against the state
of Florida in collection Of Indian war
claims, Col Sidney 1. Wales has ac-
cepted as full settlement Of all his
claims against the state the $4,000
appropriated by the last session Of the
legislature under chapter 6,147. The
state Of Florida has saved about $780,
600, but 1t has acted just like a man
who takes advantage OF the statute OF
limitations to avoid paying an honest
debt--Ocala Star.

Tampa Tribune.

Why worry about those Southern
California liars? They have an in
durable disease which recurs every
winter and leads them to lie about
Florida climate Headed by that facile
fabricator, the secretary Of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce, they get
busy every season and spread false
statements about freezes in Florida.
They have hopeless cases of dementia
falsif1catus or damlyitis and we have
struggled with them in vain.
The recent statements that Florida
suffered q freeze at the same time as
Southern California is merely a re-
lapse Of the old trouble. We really get
tired showing them up. Their malady
resists all treatment and there is no
known prescription that viii reach 1t.
Let's let them lie on: for the people
of the country generally will soon catch
on and pay no attention to anything
California says about Florida.

The Peerage Mill

Ike that
There is said to be great deal Of
disappointment In the tight little isle
tfds year because the king only made
q couple Of lords, seven barons and
eighteen knights. These newly created
peers, whether they be two or two hun
dred. are entitled to vote in the British
house Of lords.
The absurdity Of the situation lies
not 80 much in this fact as in that the
honor is hereditary and the son Of a
peer Is also peer although he may be
either an idiot or a degenerate. A
number Of the British peers have been
both.
The English and the British people
generally like this and VIA kowtow to a
lord, hat in hand, SIR. as a negro slave
to his master. Yet 1t would be mani
festly unfair to call them a nation OF
toadies. It is more a slow and unyield-

VOX POPULI
SUGGESTS ANOTHER FORM OF .
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT

Editor Pensacola Journal:
To manage a city should be deter
mined by no other purpose than to
manage it WELL but II seems we are
at sea as to the best form Of govern
ment and the method OF getting our
first set Of commissioners. We have
said at our last election that commits
sion government is good and we are
now casting about for best plans
adopted by other cities and that is
wise. Here is a plan that meets with
favor in city much larger than Pen
sacola, The only elective body in tAiS
business system is the board OF coun-
cillors, nominated by petition and
chosen through primary and general
elections by ballots and chosen and
elected from the city at large.
The entire management of the af-
fairs of this city Is in the hands of
a mayor, three commissioners, each at
the hesd of one of four departments,
into which the government Is divided.
The members Of this executive board
are appointed by the board OF i've
councillors and each commissioner Sc
lected by his fitness for the duties OF
his department. In this board of ad-
:ninistration are vested all the func-
tions md power possessed by the city
council. The board of councillors stands
between the board Of administration
and personal or public attacks. The
councillors can recall any or all of the
commissioners of administration for
cause.
The commission of each depart
ment is distinctly accountable for the
affairs of that department, there can
be no orders from bosses as to city
appointments The long tenure OF
ONCE is instituted and the foundation
laid to develop expert efficiency in the
city government. a
Recall and Referendum.
The authority Of the people is, never
suspended, their power Of control Is
immediate through the recall they can
remove all or any part of the board OF
councillors. Through the referendum
they have the final say as to fran
chises and other public grants.
Through the initiative, they can origi-
nate, and pass into valid and binding
ordinance measures, their government
may refuse to give them.
The election Of board Of councillors
by popular vote who appoint the ad-
ministration commission, instead OF
electing the commissioners by vote 10
the feature I want to emphasize.

Washington, April 1.-Telegrsms re-

Pine Ridge lesel vations state that
homesteaders who last fall entered on
land in Bennett and Mellette counties
would not be able on account CT NOW
to make settlement in the required
six months unless an extension of time
should be granted.
Such a contingency was provided
70" in the homestead act of June 6,
1910, which states: IF, owing to
climatic reasons, sickness or any other
unavoidable cause, residence cannot
be commenced within the period the
commissioner of the general land
Office may allow the settlers not to ex-
coed N year"
Representative Burke said the home
steaders should understand that the
law does not relieve them of the neces-
sity Of making their settlement as soon
as possible after the unavoidable cause
of the delay shall no longer exist.

strike here. Soon kilograms in both
cities were active and the women were
planning what NEAR to employ to es-
cape danger. Someone playing with
fate tackled up signs about the sup
posed cyclone in the high school at
Lead and as a consequence a number OF
children we're kept out of school by
nervous mothers who feared a disaster.
This portion of the Black Hills and
Deadwood in particular. are in little
danger from cyclonic disturbance ow.
ing to the high hills that surround
them. A few years ago a small CIV.
clone played across the hilltops at Ter
raville but did little damage and in
1881 a cyclone raced down Deadwood
gulch but turned off into the hill.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
cat, according to Shaler, is the only
animal that has been tolerated, es-
teemed and at times worshiped, with
out having a single distinctly valu-
able economic view. 1t may be in a
small way serviceable in keeping in
check small rodents, which are the
self-invited guests of man. Mr.. For
bush, who has made a study uf the
cat, estimates that the average cat
kills fifty song birds a year. and be
knew of a cat to destroy six birds
nests in a single day. Cats are the
worst enemies of our birds. Another
instrument that has destroyed many of
n birds is the u in the hands of the
thoughtless. The boy or man who
shoots a harmless bird does not realize
that be is injuring his neighbor. in
that he is destroying one of the valu.
able assets of the farmer. What we
ought to have in our schools is a course
of positive instruction as to the value
of our birds, and then there will b.
less need of the dull machinery of re
