Commission For
Good Roads.

The members of the State Associa-
ton of Good Roads which held a meet
ing last week at Eustis are said to
have received information that Gov
ernor Trammell has given assurances
that he viii sign the bills the associa-
ton propose to try to get through the
legislature.
The most important OF these meas
ures. in brief. is for the state to main
tain a commission for road building
and to do all road construction ac-
cording to statewide plan and In
keeping with a state system. In other
words every new piece of road that
is to be built win become a part OF a
state system.
We know that Florida Is greatly in
need of hard roads and that occasion
ally money appropriated for road build
ing is partly wasted because the work
is not done according to any fixed
system.
A commission vested with sufficient
power and given q sufficient amount
Of money could no doubt make great
Roadway with the good road building
OF the state.

FRIDAY. MARCH II. 1918.
The Chautauqua AS
a Florida Institution.

The annual session OF the Chautau-
qua has opened at Gainesville. No
particular significance attaches to
this announcement except from one or
two incidents. Gainesville is one of the
live and progressive young cities of
the state that is doing things for Itself
and it is the seat Of the University Of
Florida, and as such is center of
culture and education.
This is by no means the only Chau-
tauqua in Florida. AS is well known
the biggest and best of these institu-
items Is located in West Florida at
the prosperous and beautiful town and
delightful resort of DeFuniak Springs
and this is decidedly one of the great
assets of West Florida
The Chautauqua at Gainesville is sig
nificant because it is owned and df-
rected by the city as municipal in
stitution and drawing card. This is
the Gainesville spirit.
Much has been said and more has
been written about Chautauquas in
general and their educational and
civic value to the communities in
which they are located. Most OF this
has been favorable. In the main,
however, the Chautauqua as an insti-
tuition is a great agency for the
diffusion of knowledge and the spread
of culture.
Florida may not have quite so many
Chautauquas as some OF the Weather
and more thickly peopIed states farther
north, but they have maintained a high
standard. The Florida Chautauqua,
too has a distinctive feature Of its
own that no other state has attempted
1t holds it's sessions in the winter,
while the rest of the country make
their Chautauquas into summer schools
or institutions.
The Chautauqua in Florida has be-
come a standard institution and 1t has
come to stay. It's influence has been
beneficial. and it will grow.

The neighboring state Of Georgia is
again after the pistol toter. The grand
jury of Fulton county, which includes
the city of Atlanta, says that the law
against the carrying of concealed
weapons is inadequate and recon-
meHds that more drastic laws be en-
acted. The report of the jury says
that the streets of the city are daily
occupied by people who are nothing
more nor less than walking arsenals
and that under the present laws the
police are powerless to improve the
condition. The situation in Florida is
similar. Our laws are not sufficiens to
meet every emergency and such sas
the state has are not at all rigidly en-
forced. The legislature should amend
and strengthen the laws against She
carrying of concealed weapons and The
courts and their officers should I'm
augurate a crusade in the line of fu-
forcing such laws on the subject.
After all pistol toting is a relic of btr-
barism and is habit for which there
is little excuse.

THE GENTLEMEN. .

At perennial gathering recently.
says the Worth County (Ga.) Local, a
lady toasted 1.-THE Gentlemen" as fol-
lows: BLESS 'em. They share our joys.
they double our sorrows, they triple
our expenses, they quadruple our
cares, they excite our magnanimity,
they increase our self-respect, awaken
our affection, control our property, and
out-maneuver US in everything. This
would be a dreary world without them.
In fact, I may say without fear of sue
cessful contradiction. that without
them this world wouldn't be much of
a world, anyhow. We love them and
the dear things cannot help it. We
control them and the precious fellows
don't know it."

Taking Hand In
Legislation.

It is apparent that President Wilson
intends to take a hand in legisla ton,
to use a homeiy phrase. It is well
Cor the country that he intends to
do so.
Carping critics may cavil as much
as they please about the evils Of ex-
ecutive influence over congress, but
the people at the polls last November
by the largest majorities that were
ever received in America, demanded
certain reforms in legislation. They
elected Woodrow Wilson president Of
the United States because he stands
for those reforms.
Under these conditions it is plain
