The Jacksonville Police MuddIe-

Dixie: Those familiar with the city
charter and the ordinances have
known throughout all past admins
tratlons since 1901 that the bond
trustees had no authority in law to
control and direct the police force of
Jacksonville. When Van Swearingen.
as mayor, exercised his rights and is,
sued orders for the enforcement of
certain laws, protest came from tina;
clement which usually disregards law.
1t was hoped that the bond trustees
would keep hands off, but mad with
Jealousy and offended because the
wonderful improvements made bv
SWearingen were in striking contrast
with the old order of things, the bond
trustees sought stumbling blocks and
endeaVored to continue to issue orders
to the police and to in every wav
handicap him in enforcing the laws Of
the city.
The trustees declined to wait until
The mayor could have time to file
charges against the acting chief for
gambling and when he was again sus-
pended by Swearingen the trustees re-
lnStated him and promoted him to
chief. The law prevents any member
of the police force from being rein
stated without trial.
The trustees did not want a trial
and tried to avoid it. Mr.. Roach is
unpopular for many causes, the prin-
cElpai one being that he is pet of the
bond trustees, just as w. D. Vinzant
was for years. Mr.. Roach obeyed the
bond trustees-who had nothing to do
with his duties and disobeved the
mayor-and hence the trouble.
Some councilmen have proved that
they have backbone and can not be in
tlu9nced by a corrupt press or by the
trustees. Their votes show where they
stand. The people are with the may
or and they rejoice that the time is
now at hand when the bond trustees
will be given evidence that the people
are nauseated with such a system
that has SO long cursed this city.

The University of Florida, whose
advertisement is carried in these col
umns, has enjoyed a remarkable de-
veIopment in recent years. The cat
aIogue, which may be obtained bv
writing the President at Gainesville,
shows an attendance of 322 young
men from nearly every county in the
State of Florida and q States and
foreign countries. Ten new brick
Buildings of modern design and com
modious in their arrangements are de-
scribed. A Florida boy may prepare
for almost any of the professions at
the State University, besides he will
have the advantage there of asso-
clating, and forming lasting friend
ships, with men who are expected to
be leaders in public affairs of the
State in future years. With our I'M
paralleled winter climate, permitting
the healthful outdoor recreations the
year round, with the splendid oppor-
tunities offered at the University of
Florida at the actual cost of living,
surely no Florida boy has any ex-
cuse to leave his native commonwealth
to attend schools of other States.

You Can't Lose Him

Jacksonville Metropolis: Frank
Clark, orator, statesman, and for long
representative in Congress of the Sec
ond Congressional District of Florida,
has turned militant.
He has donned his war paint and
bonnet-feathers and all, and is ready
to spank the Japs, if necessary, in sup.
port of the Monroe Doctrine" Frank
is strong on the Monroe Doctrine"
always has been and always will be-
There was blood in his eye and froth
on his lips yesterday when he intro
duced a concurrent resolution in the
House, in which "unfaltering allegi
ance to the doctrine" is declared.
All this did Frank Clark do, despite
the fact of the present strained situa-
ton in Mexico. While Frank declares
he is for peace, his resolution indi.
Gates he is ready TO fight for it if
necessary.
Vive la Frank!

Postmaster General Burleson is re-
ported to have had serious break
with our Frank Clark and all because
the postmaster general refused to
nominate candidates for postoffices in
the Second Florida district on Clark
recommendation. The break came
about over the Lake City postoffice.
Clark wanted the office for M. l..
Plympton; others wanted Selwyn
Chalker to have the office. The post
master decided to appoint neither but
inclined to appoint E. W. Irwin, a
well-known travelling man who is a
progressive, an original Wilson man
and one who while going about the
state has been active in preaching the
doctrines of progressive democracy or
the streets and hotel corridors. Clark
IS mad clear through and has threat
2ned to keep away from the depart
ment altogether unless he is allowed
to run it-insofar as it relates to the
Second district of Florida.

Congressman Claude L'Engle is
over at Hampton Springs taking the
waters as a cure for an attack of
rheumatism which has been so severe
that it would have placed the average
man on the shelf months ago. But
not so with Mr.. L'Engle, who has
been on his job persistently and ac-
lively ever since the beginning of
the special session, although much of
the time he was obliged to get about
on crutches and endured physical ago
ny. But Claude has been right there
and those who have read his cheerful
weekly letters in Dixie got no inkling
of the severe torture the writer was
experiencing at the time. If Claude
L'Engle, handicapped by rheumatism,
makes such an active and efficient
congressman, what may we not eX-
pect when he gets in physical trim
again?
