HOLLINGSWORTH ITEMS

Miss Verda Thompson was a
visitor at the school house one
day last week in the interest of
Tomato and Canning clubs.
The young folks had a pillau
on the shores OF Lake Hbllings-
worth Friday night. There
were IS chickens there but one
had his feathers on him yet.
All report a good time with
plenty to eat. Several carried
away souvenirs of the occasion.
Mis- Gladys and Master Har-
old Kerr spent Saturday and
Sunday in Tampa with friends
home Sunday evening.
The sing at the house on the
hill was very we'll attended on
Sunday evening.
Callers at the house on the
hill on Monday were, Mr.. and

physical, OF every citizen of
Florida. 1t is doing and has
done great work, and its useful
ness was never greater, its ac-
tivity never more vigorous than
today. The importance OF this
work in the upbuilding OF 1.-THE
State is being recognized, and
naturally this recognition comes
from those physicians and lay
men who are best acquainted
with this work.
Its critics-and no successful
man or organization is ever free
from them-are of two classes ::
Those who are ignorant, and
those who assume to themselves
the wisdom to supervise human
endeavor in every direction.
None of us has the right or
the wisdom to criticise the acts
OF another until he knows the
reason, the motive for those acts.
None OF US, being human, is
above the possibility OF error but
each OF US has the right to be rec
ognized as honest in his error.
And each of us has the right to
the confidence of the community,
with the conclusion that in
creasing years of experience
make such errors fewer and less
important.
Florida's Health Board is pro-
foundly grateful for the conf
dence that has been gwen it in
the past. 1t asks that this be
continued as the larger and more
important problems OF the future
shall tax its wisdom.

familiar with the situation, we
know better what is needed; we
know better what is necessary to
be done; We know to an extent
what classes of property are
wholly escaping and what are
partially escaping; we are prepar-
ing laws to be recommended to
the next Legislature so that the
rate OF millage for both State and
county purposes can be regulated
as the assessed valuation rises
toward true value, that the tax
payers may not be burdened with
taxes. We believe that we will
be able to greatly benefit those
who have heretofore borne the
burden OF taxes and place the
burden partially on those classes
OF property that have heretofore
escaped. While we have many
important things to be done,
these are the principal ones that
we expect to give our greatest
attention:
Getting all taxable prop
erty on the tax books.
Having all classes of prop
, erty in all parts OF the State put
on the same valuation-equa-
lized.
3-Having all property put at
full cash value SO that every
dollars worth of property will
pay its share Of taxes.
Getting the law so amended
that as the valuation is raised
the maximum millage that can
/ be levied will be lowered.
5-Getting the law so amend
! ed that the expenditures for any
year shall not exceed the in
come for that year Gas is now
being done) to prevent creating
! big floating debts, carrying
eight per cent interest.
We believe that the people of
Florida will approve the work
we have already done. We be-
lieve that they will just as
! heartily endorse these things
we are striving to do. OF
course there will be opposition
it will come from those who
have prohted in the past by not
paying taxes-those that made
the Tax Commission necessary
but we expect to carry out this
work. We ask the support and
cooperation of the press and
the public.
Yours very truly,
JOHN S. EDWARDS.

Henry Watterson reviews the causes
leading to the European war; diff
ferentiates the German people
(whom he greatly admires) very
clearly from their kaiser; denies
that the latter is great man; puts
the responsibility for the war upon
him because he might have pre-
vented it without the loss of a sin
gle right or dignity belonging to his
country; asserts that the American
people are against the kaiser as a
selfish autocrat, and concludes:
That does not imply any kind Of
sympathy with Russia, or sympa-
thetic alliance with England and
France. 1t means neutrality until
the war is over. That it will end
with the complete discontinue of
the kaiser-that he will go the way
the Great and the Little Napoleon
went-we verify believe. Then we
shall hope to see rise out Of the

republicanism, not in arbitrary

AS candidate to succeed Senator
Bryan in the event of the latter's
appointment to the federal bench.
Governor Trammell has a very able
and influential advocate in the
Tampa Times. which gives MIN the
strongest possible editorial endorse
ment. The Times says that first of
all the new senator should be a
South Florida man, as this section
of the State has never yet be, thus
honored, and then outlining the re-
quirements for senator, it con-
cludes with these words:
I'VE have sketched these features
not from fancy, but from life. as

model from which the portrait is
outlined is Park Trammell our pres

Senator Bryan's present term in
the United States Senate expires on
March 4, 1917. and if he is ap-
pointed TO the federal bench and
resigns from the Senate in time a
successor for his unfinished term
will be chosen at the November
election this year. If he doesn't
resign before that election the cleo
ton of his successor would be de-
ferred until the November election
of 1916 and an ad interim senator
would have to be appointed by the
governor to serve until the senator
thus elected could take his seat.
Such is the plain provision of the
State law on the subject, but mean
while we would like to know why it
was that Mr.. Clayton of Alabama,
appointed by the governor OF that
State, to succeed Senator Johnston,
deceased, until his successor could
be regularly elected, was not per-
mitted to take his seat, there being
strong objection by many of the
senators to the validity of such APP
pointment under the new amend
ment to the federal constitution
providing for the popular election of
senator's.

These several Prescriptions
are not violent stretches of the
normal Imagination nor are they
unreasonable; indeed, they are

Florida's Board of Health has
been working twenty-five years
and more, for the good of the
State. What it has accom-

all practical working knowledge
IS too vast, too exhaustive.
1t is on this ground that the
State Board of Health claims
