MARION COUNTY HAS TOO MANY
In Proportion to- Its Share of the
Offices, Says the State
Executive

Editor Star: | have again been to
Tallahassee, and, as usual, must get
into print Here are some of the
dots | put down. The capital is
surely in the wrong place-part of
three days to make a trip Of little
more than 200 miles. Some day
this capital business will be nearer
the center of population of the state.
Clay Crawford, our secretary of
state, was the first to greet me. Why,
he was almost as worried as our Mr..
Nugent Eugent kicks on US legis-
latOrs compelling the clerk of the
court to file with the state comp
troller and to publish each six
months an itemized statement of
every cent received and expended by
each official in the county. Hard on
Nugent, but good for the taxpayers.
So we were hard on the state Sec
retary~ We said publish 1000 copies
of the good and bad laws we made,
in as big hurry as you can, and get
them to the people. The secretary
says we spent the $4,000 cash left
over from other legislatures, the
100000 we appropriated and now
there is nothing left for the secretary
to do as we told him to do. We spent
more than we had on hand. The sec
retary says come and get the laws
if you want them, as he can't send
them out. No funds on hand. The
laws will be properly published in
our weekly papers in due time, and
/ reckon the longer some of the laws
we passed are in the dark the better
twill be for Ed Spencer and myself
can stand it, but l don't see how
Cd and the balance of the people
can.
Before l got to the governors Of
fee, out bounced one of the treasury
officials, the one that made out and
handed me my pay check. Say,
Light" he called, What did you do
with that pay check? Did you lose
It? 1t never came back, and the
hole force would like to know what
y \ have done with it,
Ne easy" l said, that check is
a l. shty nice looking piece of pa
perm ike to look at it myself and
am aSlittle slow about giving it up. 1t
tells me l have been to the legisla-
ture, and nobody else is telling me
so, and | want something to remind
me / have been a legislator. But if
the state is running short of funds
check is at home in my safe and it
will stay there till l get broke, which
will be mighty soon if l don't stop

Next, delightful, | helped increase
the pay of the governors stenO-
grapher, the best looking clerk in
Tallahassee. Of course, she stopped
me. She likes to shake hands with
the good men of the last legislature.
Better keep me at home next legis-
lature, for if all the good looking
lady clerks smile on me as this one
has done, I'd bust the treasury to
please them. Tell your taxpayers in
time. look out for Light and the

Burbank. the wizard of the floral

favora bic comment and rejoicing was
felt over the matter. Since then
there has been received from the

CLERIC CONCEIVED
LABOR SUNDAY IDEA
BY WILL DYSON

The Rev. Charles Sickle, superin-
tendent of the bureau of social serv-
ice of the Board of Home Missions OF
the Presbyterian Church in the
United States, with offices at 165 Fifth
avenue, New York city, who is to
preach in the Old First Presbyterian
Church Sunday morning and evening,
Labor Sunday, is the originator OF
the phrase, Labor Sunday"
Mr.. Stelzle conceived the idea some
eight years ago in the old depart
ment of church and labor of the
Presbyterian Church, or the bureau
of social service as 1t is now called.
This day, which is now observed by
practically every Protestant denomi-
nation throughout the United States,
has received the unanimous indorse-
ment of the American Federation of
Labor.
1t inaugurated the plan of the ex-
change of fraternal delegates be-
tween ministers associations and
central labor unions, which is now
in operation in more than one hun
bred cities. In many cases these
ministers are serving as chaplains to
organized labor, regularly opening
and closing the meetings of the CEN
trail labor unions with prayer. Aside
from this their influence in social,
economic and moral questions has
been such as to revolutionize COM
pletely the discussions and tendencies
of the radical element in the labor
unions.

WORKS BOARD CONSIDERS
RECLASSIFICATION PLAN

The Board of Works met in ex-
ecutive, conference this morning to
consider the re-classification of en-
ployes in the water department, a
matter which Commissioner Charles
F. Kraemer, who is chairman of the
department. has been working on
since the beginning of the year. DR..
Kraemer served notice on the men,
bers of the board at the meeting a
week ago Thursday that he was
about ready to submit such a report
and today's conference was the re-
suit.
AS DR.. Kraemer explained it at that
time there are a number of employees
in his department with fancy titles
drawing large salaries and doing
very little work, and it is to definitely
settle upon just what work each man
is supposed to perform that the re-
classification has been decided upon.
1t is not believed that the changes
will affect the salaries of these men
except perhaps In a few cases.
Each of the commissioners will re-
ceive typewritten report during the
next few days in order that they may
become familiar with the situation
and be ready to act upon whatever
recommendations DIR. Kraemer will
make at the next meeting of the
board.

pied by the Board of Education for

of the provisions of the Geran act, he
was In need of additional room for

CROWD IN RIOT WHEN
AVIATORS FAIL TO FLY
Asbury Park Spectators Re-
fuse to Accept Wind Checks.

ASBURY PARK, Aug. 29.-When
Aviator Fred c. Hid failed to make
flight at the aviation field yester-
day afternoon after repeated prom
ises by the management that he would
do so a small sized riot ensued among
the 800 spectators who insisted on
having their money back instead of
being handed wind checks" good to-
day.
Hid refused to ascend, stating that
the wind was not in the right quar-
ter and that he did not intend to take
any chances on breaking his neck.
Eugene Foster, the promoter of the
meet, was not on the field yesterday
but his father was, and the crowd
got after him for its money. He pro-
tested that he had nothing to do with
the aviation meet, but promised that,
despite the fact the meeting was to
have come to an end yesterday, that
free flights would be given today.
Frank Goodale, who earlier in the
week made flights in his dirigible, re-
fused to go up yesterday, claiming
that he had been unpaid.
The meet here is said to have been
failure from financial standpoint,
as the injury to George Gray on the
opening day left but two aviators to
carry out the program al week.

MEAT IS So HIGH
FEW CAN TOUCH It
Three Cents a Pound More Now
Than the Price a Year
Ago.

You should worry about the poor
butcher who has to pay IL or lS1s
cents a pound for the better grades
of beef
Meat just at this time is holding
up to Its topmost records. 1t is
likely to go higher than ever this
winter unless the corn outlook i'm
proves. the shipments of steers from
the grazing lands of Texas are heavy
and Argentine contributes good
quota to the hotel and restaurant
trade.
When Jacob Roth, of Roth & Co.,
| was asked what the tendency of the
beef market seemed to be, he said
| that 1t was difficult to make any gen.
| eral prediction.
"It Is true that the first corn crop
has been hard hit by the drought,
but the second, or fall crop, has yet
to be heard from. 1t may be better.
Higher Than a Year Ago.
Compared with year ago the
| wholesale price on the cheap grades
has gone up cents and on the better
grades a cent or a cent and half.
The wholesale price at present for
the cheaper grades is 1917 to II cents
| and for the better Is to 1872
Argentina beef is shipped here
frozen and goes for the most part to
hotels and restaurants. The meat is
perfectly good and sound, but 1t has
not quite the flavor that is demanded
by exacting housewives"
This is what another expert in meat
had to say:
IT can remember the time when the
breakfast delivery of meat was bigger
than the whole days delivery is now.
That was some years ago, and meat
was cheaper. People ate chops and
ham and eggs for breakfast then;
now they eat cereals. They had meat
three times a day, now they have 1t
once, and a good many not more than
| two or THREE times a week
Cattle Going Out OF Fashion.
Grain isn't fed to cattle now It's
easier for the farmers to ship it to
some factory, where it's made into
Mothers Barley and Uncles Break

have seriously crippled the chief
source of the meat supply.
| AS to Argentina beef, however, a
late dispatch from Buenos Ayres says
| that the first cargo of chilled beef for
| the United States was shipped on the
steamer Dandyke. There are 1000
quarters in the cargo, which will
reach here September IL. More will
be sent If this is well received.

FORGETTING WHERE HE
LIVED COST HIM $50

Getting intoxicated and forgetting
where he lived. proved to be an I'M
profitable pastime for Roy Crate, 80,
of 1874 Washington street, when he
was fined $50 today by Judge Hahn
in the First Criminal Court on a
charge of assault and battery
According to his own admission.
Crate mistook the home of Frank
BONN. at 1862 Washington street, for
his own. and after the latter argued
for some time in an endeavor to
make the intruder leave, he shut the
door. This act angered Crate and
he showed the door in and proceeded
to administer a severe beating to
BONN. who is an aged man.
AFTER the fight Crate went to his
own home. and when Sergeant
Kenny. OF the First precinct, sought
him he was in bed, with all his
clothing. and his hands were covered
with blood. Crates only defense was
that he was intoxicated.
