Optimistic Reports.

Secretary of the Treasury Nc.
Adoo and Secretary of the Agri-
culture Houston, who have been
on a tour of the whole country
for several weeks, visiting the
large cities in each section and
holding hearings therein for the
purpose of ascertaining the most
desirable points at which to es-
tablish the new Government re-
serve banks, returned to Wash
lngton last week. They bring the
most optimistic reports in regard
to the industrial condition of the
country. Secretary McAdoo states
that he was amazed at the vigor-
Gus prosperity which he found
nearly everywhere. Business
had slowed down very much when
the new currency law became a
reality on December %, but since
then business has been going for
ward with leaps and bounds.
While the new currency banks
are not in operation yet, still the
new law contained a provision
that any bank which was short
of meneV could deposit its secur-
tiles at once with the United
States Treasury and secure funds
with which to meet the demands
of its customers for loans. This
provision to large extent prac-
tically put the new currency law
into operation at once as far as
financial relief is concerned, and
that is why it has had such a
beneficial effect on the business
of the country.

Mr.. Gum, of Estill county, is

like the condition in Powell coun-
ty that one knowing the condi-
tions in the county and reading
the article would think Powell
county was being dealt with in
stead of the county in question:
SIN Warren county a campaign
has been started with the object
of inducing the voters to author
ize a bond issue of $500, 600 for
tho purpose of building roads.
"Of course there is some Op-
position to this movement. There
are voters who have so much
consideration for their children
and their children's children
that they do not want to burden
future generations with tax;
therefore they are perfectly will
ing for these future generations
to struggle along against the same
difficulties and impedlments
which are making the going bad
for the people now on earth.
There are other voters who do
not care a copper for future gen.
erations, but object nightly to
giving up a few dollars for the
public benefit. There are few
selfish ones who already have
good roads at their doors and
whose solicitude for human vel
fare does not extend beyond the
spiritual and temporal needs of
''me and my wife; my son John
and his wife, us four and no
more" There are some who do
not want to pay,a good road tax
because they do not realize the
cost Of the bad road tax. There
are frS who onot care TO have
the value of their land increased

will have to raise the money and
build them. There is no other
way-and it is better to pay road

1T WASN'T EITHER

The Ocala Star a few days ago
called the attention of the Tribune
to the charges made that the Jack
sonville. city prison farm was in an
abominable condition, that the pris-
toners were mistreated and a sweat
box in operation. The Stars pur-
pose was TO offer an instance of a
publicly conducted prison open TO
the criticisms that have been made
OF the convict lease system.
The Tribune begs TO refer the Star
to the report of Mayor Swearingen,
OF Jacksonville, who made thorough
Investigations of the city prison farm
and found the charges almost en-
tirely untrue. None OF the abuses
alleged were found TO exist. The
Mayor says the farm is a great
credit to the city and lone which
and citizen should be proud of. "A"

Maybe so. But we notice that
there was a great doing around. all

MAKING OUR OWN BRICK

The editor of the Herald was
among the first if not the first man
in the state to agitate the question of
Florida counties making their own
brick for brick paved roads. The
idea seemed good then and it seems
good now and various counties in
Florida are taking up this question
and will give it a fair trial. Orlando
board of trade thinks enough of it
to send a committee to other counties
and endeavor to get as many of them
as possible to club together and make
their own brick or at least to try the
scheme. The people are forced to
do this just as they have been forced
to make other commodities in Fiori-
da-by the exorbitant prices of brick
due to trust methods and the ext0r-
tionate freight rate Making ouI
own brick was thought to be a joke
at the time it was agitated, but it is
better to be joked than gold .bricked
Sanford Herald.
Its the Stars opinion that secre
tary Rooney of the Marion Count,
Board of Trade was the first to pro
pose this enterprise; but, no matte
| who started it, it is good sugges
ton. and should be pushed.

The Star will have to cite better
evidence than the charges against

LYING OF
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST

The Star is sorrowfully obliged to
come to the conclusion that William
Randolph Hearst would print any
sort of lie in order TO attain his
ends. His principal end seems to be
to sell papers.
A number of years ago Hearst
sent man to Florida to obtain
color" for an article denouncing the
convict lease system The man
didn't come here to investigate. He
came TO obtain information on men
and localities in order to give some
show of probability in denouncing a
| cided to denounce, whether it de-
served it or not, and not with the
desire to reform it, but to sell pa
pers or rather magazines
One of this emissary's tricks was
| to win the confidence of certain
young men connected with a convict
camp by representing himself to
| them as their friend. In this belief,
| they allowed him to take a picture
of them in group. Said picture was
| labeled convict guards" and was
printed in the magazine with the ac-
| companying article, which called at
tention to the fact that the young
men in question were a tough-look-
| ing set. The truth was that some of
/ the boys were not guards, but COM
missary clerks, and they were all bet
ter men, and better looking, than the
| hired liar who wrote the article.
After he story was printed, refu-
tation of it, containing a number of
indisputable facts, was sent to the
magazine, but it was returned with a
lot of objections as unfair as the
article that caused it,
There is reason to believe that
most of the sensational articles that
appear in the Hearst papers and
magazines have no better foundation.
| They appeal to ignorance and pre-
JUDGE and disgust moderate and we'll
informed people:
For the last three years, the
Hearst papers have been printing
the most terrible stories about Mex
leo, and the treatment of Americans
in that country. If these stories
were true, or if they had been be-
lieved on this side of the line, they
would have caused war months ago.
The latest is story in the Cosmo-
politan for February. 1t is Of an
American, his wife and little son in
Mexico, and winds up with the
butchery of the man and child and
the abandonment of the woman te
worse than death at the hands of 9
Mexican official and his men.
OF course, nothing .of the sort ever
took place. and a man who woult
write Or publish anything of tht
sort as an incentive to drawing hi
country into war, is as bad as an.
man who plots murder against an.
Of his fellow citizens.
1t is said that Hearst has larg
property interests in Mexico, and i
: trying to bring on war because unde
American control his property woul
be more valuable. Whether this b
true or not, its best for everyon
{ reading either news or opinion in on
of Hearst's publications to discoun

more.
