A LITTLE ROUGH ON THE POST

One would think that the postmas-
ter general of the United States
would be well up in his home geog-
raphy, but Postmaster General Bur
lesson, the other day, got off the train
at Sioux City, Iowa, when he was
booked for a speech at Sioux Falls,
S. D., within a few hours.-Miami

Perhaps that explains where the
people "get off" in the matter of some
of the curious postoffice nominations
that the postmaster general has made.

SATURDAYS SEVERE COLD

Those in a position to know say
that Saturday was the coolest day
the weather bureau ever recorded in
this state during the month of No
vember.
Killing frosts are reported as far
down the peninsular as Miami.
In this immediate vicinity the tenn
perature did not drop below 80 de-
grees until five o'clock in the morn
inging, when between five and six
o'clock it dropped to 26 degrees. Had
it remained at that point for any
length of time the oranges would have
been frozen on the trees, but fortu-
nately it remained that cold only for
short time
We received a phone message from
Hon. E. l.. Wartmann at Citra, and
he said that careful examinations
were made by grove owners there,
and all tests showed that the fruit
was uninjured.
Mr.. Timmons came in from Citra
later in the day and confirmed Mr..
Wartmann's phone message.
Mr.. S. R. Pyles said that the cold
did more or less damage to all vege-
tables, but that the damage in nearly
all cases was slight, except with the
beans, and the farmers had quit ship
ping beans. on account of the low
prices.
Ice was plentiful, and icicIes were
seen depending from water tanks and
the caves of houses in many places.
The cold weather gave the farmers
a splendid opportunity to save their
meat and for several weeks they will
feast on backbone, spare-ribs, sausag-
es and other choice articles or diet
that are incident to hog-killing time

THE STATES GREAT SIN AND
SHAME

Ii the news dispatches telling of
the horrible holocaust at the Florida
State Industrial school at Mariana
are correct, the state of Florida is
guilty of gross crime by the mig
gardliness of expenditure and care
lessness of consequence that caused
ten innocent persons to be burned to
death.
Of the ten, eight were youths of
tender age committed to the states
fostering care, to be reformed from
waywardness and led into the paths
OF right-thinking and good citizenship!
According to the news dispatches
the controlling board, either because
of lack of funds to make such pro-
vision, or because of an idea of saving
expenses, or through carelessness,
failed to provide a Waterman at the
dormitories, whose duties would be to
safeguard the helpless inmates of the
various buildings. There was a fire
escape on the building where the ten
persisted, but the door that led to it.
was doubled-padlocked. Who had the
key, and why he was not available at
the time of need, is not known. 1t
doesn't matter now. The fact re-
mains that the door was double-pad-
locked; it apparently could not be
forced in time to prevent the horrible
sacrifice of human life. And the great
state of Florida, or it's officials in
charge of this institution, would seem
to be guilty.-Tampa Times.

Speaking of who started the war in
Europe the Times-Union says: "The
American public has never laid the
whole responsibility on Germany or on
the kaiser. But Bismarck acknow-
lodged that he altered a telegram
from the king of Prussia, with the
deliberate intention of forcing France
to take the aggressive-he knew
France was not ready, and he knew
Germany was; since then the world
has always expected a war when Ger
many could catch her neighbors at a
disadvantage, and this made them
equally anxious that she should not
be permitted to choose her time
