WATER MAINS TO BE
EXTENDED NEXT WEEK

Bids will be opened by the water and
light commission at a meeting to be
held next Monday for extensions of
the water mains on Ash and Oak

be let at that time and the work got
ten under way at once. It will be one
of the last public improvements to be
made this season as during the winter
months only such extensions as are
found absolutely necessary will be un-
dertaken. The H. L. Bartlett company
is now working on the sewer outlet
where the creek emptying into Three
Mile, lake is to be widened. A clam
shell dredge will be used. Ground is
being cleared along the creek banks to
permit of the excavation going for

FREE. TREASURY GUIDES.

No longer will the tourists who come
to the Capital to take in the sights be
escorted through the Treasury by the
self-styled guides" who ply their trade
outside the building. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo yesterday issued an
order declaring any but official guides
from the building.
It is claimed that the outside guides
often misrepresented conditions to their
patrons, and now there are large signs
posted in the Treasury announcing that
free guides viii be furnished.

The Times-Union, in discussing
the acts Of the late legislature, is as
venomous as a Billingsgate tishwife,
aot any more elegant, and 50 far as
known, not as truthful. The legis-
Iature made some mistakes, but if
the Times-Union and its crowd could
nave controlled it, that paper would
nave had only praises for it, if it had
been ten times as foolish and as many
lines dishonest.
The last thing that the Timcs-Cnion
$ bowling about is the law insErucsiHg
sheriffs and police officers 10 destroy
pistols and other weapons taken from
criminals The T.-U. says:
eve do not profess to have any
inside information as to who lobbied
for the passage of the law requiring
the destruction of valuable firearms,
but if we are allowed one guess it is
that the manufacturers of firearms
had an agent in Tallahassee"
If the Times Union is truthful in
saying it had no inside information
as to who lobbied for the passage of
the bill, it gives testimony that nc
Lobbying was done. The Times Union
was the champion of the lobby and ii
isn't likely that it wasn't wise to any
schemes that were on foot.
And for the law, it was a good one
1t is an opinion advanced by many
good people that it is wrong and
highly inconsistent in the state to
confscate the weapon of one criminal
and put it back on the market where
it can be used by another. The ma,
ority of the pistols sold at public
auction go to the pawnbroker shops
and nearly every gun taken from a
criminal is bought at a pawnbroker's
shop. There is evidence Of this fact
the nation over. At least one big
northern city has had all contiscatcC
weapons destroyed or dumped il
| deem water.
The Star is not surprised to fine
the Tines Union on the side of thC
criminal or the would-he crimina
who wants to buy n gun cheap.
The legislature did well to displsaFt
the Times Union. The next leoisll
ture had better find ont what tht
Times Union wants done and thei
do ditferent.-OcGla Star.

DRAINAGE WORK
AT FLORAHOME {
Will be Pushed Under DireC.
ton of DrainaQe Board.

The board of drainage commits
sioners for the Florahome drainage
district, which board is the same az
the board Of county commissioners
has decided to go ahead with drain,
age operations at Florahome imme;
diately, or as soon as the material
can be on hand for the work.
Instead Of letting the work out by
contract, thing the board is pre-
vented from doing through lack of
funds, the work will be entrusted to
N. f. Dillon of this city who has had
experience in such work and who will
be employed by the month. He will
have a dredge on the ground in a
short time.
Mr.. Dillon will be paid $l25.00 per
month and he will be empowered to
employ assistants. He will continue
the work as long as the money in the
drainage fund holds out, and to a
representative of The News Mr.. Dill
on stated that the fund is sufficient
to give the farmers in the drainage
district much relief.
In another column of todays Pa
latka News will be found an advar-
tisement Of the damage board asking
bids for lumber and machinery to be
used in the construction of the dredge
for this work.
The News believes the board has
done the only thing it could do under
The circumstances. 1t certainly could
not let a contract for the entire work
funds in sight to pay for that
work.
But the fact that the good people
of the .Florahomc section are to have
some relief will be good news to the
people CT Putnam county who have
and appreciated the Difficult
les surrounding them.
Commissioner Perry of the Fifth
district, who has much knowledge Of
he section to be drained end who is
me of the real watch dogs" Of the
county treasurer, has approved the
present plan, and that should be salts
actory to the people.

That Cigarette Coupon Law.

Cigarette dealers in Palatka as
well as in other parts of the state
have been somewhat eXerciesd over
the provision of the new law of the
state which requires an additional Ii
cense of $500 for the State and $25U
for the county from all who Offer
with merchandise sold in the course
of trade any coupon, protit-sharing
certificate, or other evidence of in
debtedness or liability, redeemable
in premiums.
This law affects the cigarette bust
ness as now conducted in Florida
Cigarettes are not sold as cigars arc
sold, on their merits, but by the off
ering Of premiums redeemable il
watches, jewelry, musical Instruments
etc Under the new revenue law Of the
state enacted by the late legislature
practical prohibition is placed upor
dealers who conduct a lottery for tn,
sale of any kind of merchandise, in,
cluding cigarettes.
This law has caused the Times
Union and other hostile papers tc
denounce the makers. According tc
that paper all stocks of cigarettes
now in the hands of dealers woulc
be lost, for the reason that under the
Federal provision no dealer coulC
break the revenue stamp and extract
the coupon.
But that this is not true is evi
denced by the order of the commits
ioner of internal revenue at Wash
ington. In an order to Hayes Lewis
collector of internal revenue for
Florida, the commissioner says: "Al
dealers in cigarettes in Florida, wht
have stocks on their hands may breal
stamps on the boxes and sell tn
cigarettes, provided aflidavits of stock
of goods are made at once to you"
AS the Ocala Star says, this take
everything but the wind out of tn,
roar made by the -Uniol
against this law"
The legislature placed no hard
ships upon any legitimate business
but it did seek to enact such law 8
would place all business transaction
or the level.
The cigarette business, urged for
ward under pressure of lottery pre-
miums, was not on the level.

EDITOR EXPECTS
TIGER and LAMB
To Lie Down Together While
a Kid Leads to Abolition
of Booze.

Regarding the "wet" or "dry"
election which has been called in Ma
rion county, Editor Frank Harris of
the Ocala Banner says:
The canvass of the signatures to
the petition calling for a "wet" and
"dry" election was completed yes
terday by the board of county COM
missioners, and it was ascertained
that those who were instrumental in
getting up the petition had something
like five hundred signatures to spare,
50 the election will be called.
We hope that the campaign will
be conducted along sane and moder-
ate lines. There is no necessity for
one falling out with his neighbor on
question of this sort. There is
nothing to be gained by the use of
invectives, the calling of names or a
resort to Incorporate measures.
We and our household, including
the son who is in Duluth, signed the
petition and expect to vote the "dry"
ticket, and if asked for advice would
counsel Temperance and tolerance
from start to finish, remembering
that more flies can be caught with
sugar than with vinegar.
A free, untrammelled ballot is the
iearest right of American citizenship,
md one should be allowed to exer-
Use this privilege without let or him
trance, except by a resort to reason
md persuasion.
So we hope that the present "wet"
and "dry' election will be the excep.
ion to all others, and will be in the
lass by itself, in that it will be con-
1ucted so good naturedly that no bit
'erness of spirit will be kindled, and
when it shall have ended there will
re no sores to heal and friends will
continue friends.
We hope that this election will
est the beauty, the strength and
Frandeur of our form of govern
nent, to-wit: the exercise of "free
md untrammelled ballot"
In campaign of this sort we do
rot believe that those who advocate
temperance need fear the result.
