Save the peeiinusi

Among the innumefable eXpedients
that have been suggested to reduce

The Star commends the outspok-
en- way in which the Miami Metrop-
oils goes after the chief of police
and mayor of its town. The chief
of police, while on duty, became in
toxicated, blundered into the home
of lady and gave her a fright.
There is no excuse for a police Off
Ger who does anything OF the sort
the only proper thing to do is to fire
him The mayor of Miami. however,
keeps the chief in his position; con-
sequently, the Metropolis, which is a
little bit intolerant sometimes, but
always outspoken, roasts them both.
The Metropolis is entirely right-the
people of an American town will not
respect the authority of an officer
who becomes intoxicated, and one
who rambles into other mems homes
while drunk will soon need some
thing stronger than a mayors in
fuence to protect him.

A movement has been set or foot
by the Georgia Daughters OF the
Confederacy to induce the Daughters
thruout the South to join with the
state of Georgia in purchasing Stone
Mountain, near Atlanta, and making
it into a monument for the Confed-
crate dead of all the Southern
states. Everybody who has even
been in Atlanta has seen, or at least
heard of Stone Mountain, the i'm
mense pile of granite a few miles
east of the city. 1t is not very
high mountain, as mountains are
reckoned, but 1t looms up quite i'm
posingly among the Georgia hills It
is one immense lump of granite, and
tho millions of tons of stone have
been quarried from it, to use in
building, since Atlanta was founded.
there is no reduction on its height,
and not enough to be noticed in it's
bulk. If the plan to make it mon
ument is carried out, it will be the
most stupendous one in the world
The pyramids of Egypt would look
like anthills beside it.

The Star notices a good deal of
tummyaching going on in the state
press because the people won't elect
and the politicians won't appoint ed
itors to Office. The Star has no kick
coming. Its proprietor was elected
a member of the Ocala city council
some years ago, and then reelected
and would have probably been elect
ed again if he hadn't refused to run.
And the editor Of the Star was offered
the post of American ambassador to
Graustark by Claude L'Engle; Frank
Clark also said he should have it, and
both Senators Fletcher and Bryan
have declared the appointment shall
be confirmed if it ever reaches the
Senate. But he prefers Ocala to
Graustark as a place of residence.

an Office if he is the right sort of an
editor. Remember Whitelaw Read?

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS. WATERWAYS
AND WATER POWER

The following article, by Walter
Roscoe Stubs, former governor of
Kansas, was published in the last is
sue Of the Saturday Evening Post.
1t is one of the best arguments the

Stubs Article
The conclusions reached in this pa
per have been forced on me by the
logic of events during the ten years
last past, REINFORCED by practical
knowledge gained in regard to the
cost OF building railroads and to the
method used in financing and opera
ting them. My experiences in rail-
road construction began with driv-
ing mule team in a grading camp
and ended more than a score of years
later with the completion of certain
railroad construction contracts, ag-
gregating in value several million
dollars.
If any one at that time had said
that l should come to believe in gov
erment ownership of railroads the
statement would have seemed. pre-
posterous; but my experience as a
public official during six years of SER
vice in the state legislature and four
years in the governors Office caused
me to make an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the whole transportation
question, involving rates, service, OPP
Grafton and capitalization, from a
pubic-service viewpoint: and this in
vestigation has given me an entire
ly new view of the relation of rail
roads to government in the nation
and the several states.
