Railway connections between
this corner Of the state and the
East Coast-by the way, there are
none. The traveller from here
usually goes to Orange City Junct-
ion and waits there an hour and a
half for train to New Smyrna.
He gets to New Smyrna at 7:30
D. M; and, if he wishes to GO
south, he will have to wait until
1:30 a. m. for a train; otherwise,
be will have TO stop over from 1880
p. m. until 2:40 p. m. next day.
If, therefore, you wish to go tc
West Palm Beach or Miami, you
had better 90 via Key West OF
jacksonville, unless yon wish Il
fuss and cuss and fritter away
twenty hours at New Smyrna. 4

We cheerfully acquit jackson
Vile Of the charge of political hog
gishness, but we do not acquit the
people outside Of the metropolis
of being careless with their votes,
so careless indeed that they have
given our big city more political
honors than are her just deserts.
Perhaps, however, the people will
realize their error before voting
in next years primaries.

Are Legislatures Doomed7

Commission government for a
state ma7 be one of the actualities
of the near future, Such a PROPOSE
ton was considered by abont ten
Legislatures last year and is being.
given more or less serious consid-
GRAFTON by the press. In the West
the agitation is more acute than IN
the east. The West, always ''pro-
gressiven and ever ready to try
out the latest political innovations,
will be first to make the expert
ment, if it is ever made. If the
commission plan should prove as
satisfactory for states as it has for
cities it would not be many years
before the legislatures would be
doomed in most of the states.
The Saturday Evening post re-
Gently contained some very peril
nent comment on the folly and in
competence of legislatures and
discussed the movements in Ore
gon and Kansas for the abolition
Of the legislatures at some length.
Recently the Washington Her
aid contained the following edi-
torial on the subject:
"The Far West, especially Ore
gon, never has been afraid TO do
something politically along new
lines. The latest is the intelli-
gence that the Portland Business
Mems Club has begun cam
paign for the adjustment of the
State Legislature and for the sub
stitution of commission form Of
government, such as has been APP
piled with more or less success to
number of cities in different
States. The issue is to be sub
mitted to the voters in November
US an Initiative"
ssThere can be no question
about popular dissatisfaction with
Legislative efforts and demands for
Improvement, even in the East,
which is proverbially conservative,
and where more attention has
been paid TO the improving Of the
personnel than the altering Of the
system. And yet, the public in
the East would hesitate to adopt a
State commission government or
even the method Of direct--initia-
tive legislation, because it con-
tinues to hope that some day there
will be in power a party willing
to make such changes in legisla-
tive methods, as would minimize
the evils now existing. A scien-
tifc State budget, it is argued, es-
pecially in New York, a bureau
for the study of legislrtion, limi-
tation Of special and local lawmak
ing. and committees with more
powers, would accomplish the de-
sired end, without such radical
measures as are being advocated
out West. ;" Pensacola News.

Their Wrefched Mistakes

The legislature OF 1913 VIII go
down in history as having caused
more trouble to the people OF
Florida than any half dozen legls-
latures since the days of recon
struction. OF all the trouble-mak-
ing laws passed by that body, the
three most conspicuous are the
hotel law, the coupon law and
the act dividing the state into
four congressional districts. These
three have come in for volume OF
well merited criticism.
The hotel law, it strictly enforc-
ed would put ont of business ev-
cry hotel in the multitude Of small
places like Fort Ogden, Bowling
Green, Wildwood, Webster and
Largo, and the traveller visiting
such villages would have nowhere
to get a meal of victuals or a
nights lodging. One of the fool
ish requirements of the law is that
bed sheets shall be ninety-nine in
ches long. This is fifteen inches
longer than is needed, but we sup
pose the men who passed the bill
expect'to ''swipe" this extra ff-
teen inches for towels and
handkerchiefs TO take home with
them when next they tarry at the
Leon in Tallahassee. When they
were legislating about bedding
they ought to have prohibited the
sale of quilts and blankets less
than six feet six inches long.
These are the things that are too
short and they ought to be exiled
from the state.
The coupon law has caused the
merchants worlds of trouble and
some of them are undergoing con-
siderable expense in an effort to
have it nulliied by the courts. 1t
would be a good thing to abolish
coupons and premiums given with
merchandise, but dealers should
be given years time to get rid of
these trade abomihations.
The act dividing the state into
four congressional districts is
worrying our congressman and
politicians, II does not go into ef-
feet until March 4th, 1915. So,
if we elect congressman next No
vember, we do not know whether
to elect them under the old Jaw or
the new. Eminent lawyers differ
in opinion on this question, but
the weight of argument seems to
be to the effec. that the only way
to avoid serious trouble in the
matter Of having the state repre-
sented in the lower house of con-
gress, is to call a special session of
the legislature for the purpose of
having the act amended to go into
effect Immediately. But, to bring
this same legislature together
again for any purpose whatsoever,
may be inviting more and worse
trouble than we are now having.
The whole discussion leads back
to the original proposition made
by THE HERALD. As old Sena-
tor Cato Of Rome closed his
speeches with, "Delenda est Car
thago;" SO, this paper insists that
the legislature must be abolished.
1t is too costly nuisance to be
continued any longer than it is
possible to abate it.

sorry to learn of the serious accident
which she met with while driving
down the Early hill in Dee early Sat,
urday morning. The horse could not
hold the buggy back, and as there was
no brake, they could do nothing but
let him go. Perhaps, if the shafts had
not broken they would have reached
the bottom, although a little swiftly.
The occupants of the buggy were
thrown out, Mrs. Doane being dragged
along and found further down the road
unconscious. She is still in Dee with

by her little nine year old daughter,
