"PASTOR BILL"
WON the SCRAP.
Senator Wall Couldn't Pull
Bill Thr0ugh.
And Now 1t Is Rumored That Russell
Will be Coming to The Senate
Some Day.
(By Frank L. Huffaker.)

Tallahassee, Fla, May 9.-(Spe
cial. )-Senator John P. Wall, of Put
nam, has been chewing the rag for
several days, and there are some who
predict that he will hardly get over
the cause of his discomfort during the
session, if ever 1t seems that the
Putnam senator, who has had several
terms in the house, and has come to
view himself as a statesman of the
first order, entered into a conspiracy
with Representative Middleton Of
Putnam, to get the goat of "Pastor
Bill" Russell of Palatka. But the
Wall scheme didn't work. On the
contrary, it ended in pastor Bill'
getting the Wall goat"
From rumors that have leaked out
it seems that the differences arose
over the Florahome drainage district,
which involves about 1900 acres Of
muck land in Putnam county, and on
which subject Senator Wall and Pas
tor Bill" are decidedly at variance.
A drainage law was enacted in 1911,
the Putnam delegation at that time
being united in behalf Of the work Of
reclamation. Senator Wall, who owns
considerable taxable land in the
drainage district, was determined to
have the law of 1911 repealed in en-
tirety, and passed repeating bill
through the senate. Of course, the
fact that he was large land owner
in the affected district was not wide
ly published when the bill was up on
its way through the upper house.
The senator gave it out that he want
ed to "save from ruin some Of his
constituents, who could not bear the
drainage tax. Pastor Bill however,
had separate petitions from about
80 per cent of these property owners
demanding that the drainage law not
be repealed. Wallis bill passed the
senate because it happened to be
local measure, and Senatorial court
esy" ruled. However, it went up
against the rocks in the house, the
committee on drainage reporting
unanimously against it. Senator Wall
is said to have grown so furious that
he declared he would never shake
hands with Pastor Bill" again, which
was hard on Pastor Bill" Repre-
sentative Middleton also sided with
Senator Wall, but Russell opposed,
producing black and white evidence
from the voters and the Palatka
board of trade. The committee de-
cided in favor of pastor Bill" as
above stated, and Senator Wall got
wrathy and stayed wrathy. How
ever, it is a cinch that his bill will
never get through, and compromise
measure alone will pass the bulwark
of Pastor Bill" one of the Invest

1t is quietly whispered up here
among the cold red hills of Leon"
that "Pastor Bill" is coming to the
senate from old Putnam next time,

out the sweetest in the whole range

floats across the ages like distant
bells at evening rung. o that this
great, heaving, restless world could

CLEAN
SWEEP.

The following from the Baltimore
Sun applies just as well 10 every city,
town, and village in Putnam county,
Florida, as it does TO the city OF Balti-
more, and we hope our citizens will
read ii carefully and profit thereby.
1--WE can't all be godly, perhaps, but
we can all be clean, and that is the next
thing to the most desirable of human
conditions. That is one reason why the
"clean up, paint,up" campaign should
appeal to everybody. But if you care
nothing about being next TO goodness,
there are other reasons which come di.
rcctly home to all kinds and conditions
OF men and women. The fly, the mos
quito, the rat, are no rcSpeCterS OF per.
sons. They are the advance agents OF
disease, its active missionaries and
propagandiSiS. Filth, SlovenlineSS and
indifference are the things which give
them power and which enable them TO
continue their warfare against humanity.
Every breeding place of flies and mos
quitoes which you destroy, every rat
which you put out OF business, will be
worth more to you and your family in
the preservation of health than innu-
mcrablc doses OF medicine when you
are sick,
Cleanliness is an outward and visible
sign of self.respect, and SelfreSpect is
the essential basis of individual man
hood and good citizenship. And the
cleanup, paint,up' campaign will lc-
ultimately enhance our personal and
general self esteem and give US right
10 point with honest pride not only 10
the outward adjoining and Identification
of our city, but TO its publication as
we'll
The cleanup and paint-up divisions oil
the campaign should go hand in hand.
We do not want TO be whited Sepul'

refs and vacant lots are full of rubbish.
The city needs to take bath and scrub
itself well, and then put on the beauti
flying touches in the way OF paint and
decoration.

 President Sykes Address.
 Woman and the New Education was the theme of the able and scholarly address by President Sykes of the Connecticut Woman's college at New London, the only woman's college in the state He reviewed the essential elements that had developed the high CT education of women, giving them the equipment to fill large places of re- sponsibility in education, professional life, industrial affairs and in solving social problems The chief center of wonanis lifes activities, said President Sykes, was shifting, and now the edu cational realm is showing a small body of men entirely surrounded by women. The best approach to instruction is now through the concrete, devolop oping the faculty of doing things. declared the speaker who favored rural schools for rural life and city schools for city life. All this educational evolution leads to vocational training and in the sphere of social economics nothing is so cheap as education or pays as well. President Sykes incidentally prophe- sled a radical reform in spelling.
 Governor Baldwin's Admonitions.
 Governor Baldwin in a brief address told the graduates they were to teach the coming generations in this state how to talk. write and reason and am plified each point with telling and prac tical suggestions.
