MAYOR VETOES
POLICE SALARIES
And Cites Law to Show Raise
Unconstitutional.

The city council at the meeting of
that body on the 3rd inst, passed an
ordinance increasing the pay of the
Chief of Police from SIS to 500 pei
month, and that of patrolmen from
$50 to $65 per month.
Since the passage of the ordinance
there has been joy in the households
of the elect. They needed the money,
as who wouldn't who had to keep up
the style required of a Palatka po-
liceman, the high cost of living and
all that, to say nothing Of an ambi-
ton to rise in the world.
Some of these good men, if they are
at all like the balance of US ordinary
mortals, considering the ordinance
and the certainty that they had the
sympathy Of the mayor himself, may
have already started in to spend the
increased pay. If so it is too bad, for
the increase can't come during the
present tenure of Office.
On looking over the law Mayor
Usina found that the council had
struck a snag in the form of a for
bidding enactment in the charter, and
in consequence he has sent the fol
lowing veto to the Council and which
will be read at the meeting next Tues
day:
Palatka, June 81, 1913.
Mr.. A. T. TRAY, City Clerk,
Palatka, Florida.
Dear Sir:-I return herewith the
ordinance entitled, can ordinance
regulating the salaries of certain Of
fcials of the City of Palatka," passed
in open Council June 18th, 1913.
| withhold my approval of this or
dinance on the following ground: Sec
ton II of Chapter 5072 Acts of 1901,
of the Florida Legislature provides
as follows: "The City Council shall
have the right to fix by ordinance the
salaries and compensation to be paid
to any and all city officials, but no
change of ordinance shall effect the
salary or compensation to be paid to
any officer or Office at the time of the
passage of any such ordinance"
The ordinance under consideration
attempts to raise the salaries Of the
police officers, from and after the pas
sage and approval Of this ordinance.
Municipal corporations derive all Of
their powers through and from the
Legislature of the State of Florida.
The Legislature in the above Act re-
ferred to, prohibits the change of the
salary of officers for the term for
which they are elected.
For the reasons above set forth, |
consider this ordinance in direct con-
fict with the Act Of the Legislature
above referred to and consequently
null and void, and | therefore veto
the same.
Respectfully submitted,
A. USINA, Mayor.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, N. Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. It finally went
on to the back of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing a sore about the size Of dime.
At times the itching and burning were
30 intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more I scratched 1t the worse 1t
became, and there would be slight
discharge from 1t, especially on my
scalp. so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, lifeless and thin. MY
hair was falling so terribly that 1 had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back. The affected parts
were almost solid scab. =

Am IN ooors Has MANY BENEF1rs.

Too much glass in a chicken COOP
makes the coop too warm in the day
time, when the chickens are busy In
the scratching pen or are running on
range. and too cool in the night. The
rapid throwing off of the heat in the
evening causes dampness. So care
must be exercised that the rule Of one
feet of floor space Is followed.
Many. persons are doing away with
glass windows and substituting mus
lin. The muslin allows a free pas
sage Of air into the coop and keeps
that air nearer the temperature az
outside. Unlike glass, 1t prevents the
gathering Of moisture.
Fresh air is a comparatively new
idea of poultry raising. The agita-
ton began about ten years ago. Many
advocated coops that gave fresh air
during the day, but the work Of pro-
viding such air at night did not begin

THE CASE OF THAW.

The escape of Harry Thaw will re-
vive discussion of him and his case,
and the whole d%eplorable affair will
be gone over and over. to the better
ment Of nobody. Thaw was tried for
a murder which he committed, and he
was %adjudged insane and confined in
the asylum for the criminal insane, in
spite Of the repeated efforts which
he has made to secure his liberty in
a legal way. That Thaw was insane
no n believed, with the possible ex-
ception OF the experts who swore to
his insanity, and it is doubtful in their
case. There was general acquiescence
in his sentence Of Imprisonment, how
ever, for the public was disguised with
the loathsome details of the case, and
believed that Thaw should be shut up
somewhere, not that he was likely to
commit more murders. or hat there
was any chance of reforming him, but
on the principle that a worthless sort
Of fellow who has deliberately shot
q man is not a desirable party to
have around.
Thaw has been analysed, and crit
icized and discussed and classified as
If he were some strange sort of crea-
ture belonging on another planet. He
has been described as a natural de-
generate, a mar without the power to
discriminate between good and evil,
and he has been put in this, that and
the other class by people who are fond
Of that sort Of exercise. We have
it from a mar who attended the same
college with Thaw, at the same time,
though not in the same class, and who
knew him as we'll as college mates not
in the same class are likely to know
each other, that Thaw was a pleasant,
amiable fellow, much like a thousand
others, and that the only thing that
allied him was hat he had more
money to spend than was good for
a young man, and thai he had been
brought up without any sense of duty
or responsibility.
There is no reason to doubt that
had Thaw been given a different train
Ing, been supplied with less spending
money, and taught that this world is
a place to work. he would today be a
useful member of society, and a lot
of people would be happier.
