axclaim: "Wat d ELL ?"

eHCldlln. Wdt u Gil
The Palatka News does not claim
any particular virtue; it is just an or
dinary publication of ordinary intelli-
gence dedicated to Palatka and Put
nam county and the State of Flori-
da. Its publishers interests are its
first care, but there was never time
in its history when it was not able to
see that the interests of the publish
ers and those of the people were COM
mon. For this cause it has never pro-
NOTED Inherent "Fire Sales" or 9th
er schemes to fool the people
its friends and patrons.
Before the opening of this Inherent
"Fire Sale" in Palatka last week, the
aforementioned Sam'l o Posen publ
cation used it's utmost endeavor to
boost the fake. If Sam1 ever knew
anything, he knew that this fire sale
was that. But he worked it up, got
all the money out of it he could, and
then denounced it.
"Fire Sales" of the Inherent varie-
ty are such old and such palpable
fakes that it seems almost incredi-
BILE that a city like Palatka could be
caught. 1t is certain that members
of the city council have sufficient in
telligence to make the coming of
them to Palatka so difficult that the
ordinance would in reality act as a
protection to the foolish, or innocent
people of the city.
Goods sold at such sales are always
"shoddy" and have little value. They
have generally been Smoked" and
sometimes treated to a dash of soiled
water in order to further the scheme
of fraud 1t is the advertising that
fools the people-makes them believe
that the sale is one Of high class mer,
chandse. No honest newspaper de-
voted to the interests of its constitu'
ents-the merchants and buying pub
lic-should be a party to this decep
ton. And surely, only such papers
as those which by common consent are
regarded as ulcers on the body poll
tic would be guilty of helping to pro
mote the fake, and then, when lie
gitimate merchants made a protest
kick the fakir that fed them.
Of course these fake sales injur
Legitimate business; they injure tn
poor people who are taken in b,
them. But the fakir, like our Sam
has no regard for what is legitimate
; what they want is money. They nee
, it in their business and they need
so badly that they do not hesitate t
become fakirs to acquire it.
The News trusts that in the inter
f ests of legitimate business in this cit
: as well as in the interests of the III
T. Vulnerable victims of these fake
$ that an ordinance will be enacted mai
ing future operations in Palatka to
q costly for practice.

Buying A Home

Tampa Tribune: An editorial
from the Palatka News, reprinted on
this page few days ago. has Gre
ated considerable local discussion. In
the article in question, the editor of
the News wrote about Downing a
Home" and took the position that,
in many cases, it is wiser for the man
of moderate income to remain in the
renting class, rather than go deeply
into debt for home of his own, as
suming the heavy burden of interest
taxes, etc, which owning home en-.
tails.
The editor of the News advances
the idea that putting the money in d
savings bank is better policy thar
putting it into payments on a home.
This depends entirely on the mar
and the circumstances. Many
man who can never see his way cleal
to putting aside money in a savings
account. because he doesn't have t,
and because he can find so many
ways for spending it, will, once he ha!
gone into paying for a home, fee
Icompelled to save the amount of tn,
payment each month or quarter and
hence. will put into real property tht
money that otherwise he would disSi
pate in various ways, with no abidin!
result.
1t becomes a matter of pride wit
him and he will exert his utmost ef
fort to lay by enough to keep up tn
payments on the home-he is gettinl
something for his money besides tn
mere privilege of occupying the prem
ises-every payment gives him
greater equity in the property ard
Almost before he realizes it, it is pau
for and it is his.
If he had not made tda leal. tn
money which has brpr2h, nim I'M

than temporary pleasure or convcn

OF course, as the News editor sug

A Back Action Document

/ Ocala Star: In his letter to the
Star, Mr.. William Chase Temple an
nounced that he is "for Perry Wall for
senator" Its the Stars opinion that
Mr.. Wall is a very clever and broad
minded man. If we wanted to do him
a mean trick we would print several
thousand copies of Mr.. Temples in
temperate letter to send broadcast
over the state as a sample of what
might be expected from one of Wallis
champions. However, We are sure
Mr.. Wall doesn't approve of Temples
letter and we doubt that he approves
of Temple AS for Senator Bryan,
he has practically said he cares moth
ing for the support of such men as
Temple, whose politics seems to be of
the same variety as his manners.

Awful! But perhaps the Tampa
Times may not discover this add,
tional evidence of Gov. Trammell'S
plagiarism. At his Labor Day ad,
dress at Pablo Beach last Monday the
governor is reported as saying: 81

Alexander said substantially the same

said: Boys, I'm mighty glad to be
with you; l feel that l am among

A Creditable Celebration

st. Augustine Record: Everybody
who had ANYTHING to do with the Gel
ebration of Labor Day in st. Angus
tine deserves commendation and
praise. Everything in connection
with the PROGRAM was carried out sue

who made the plans and affording
pleasure to those who enjoyed the re

more elaborate features. ST. Angus

Law Will Remain

Lakeland Telegram: There is some
agitation in the State press in behalf
of return to old system of exchang-
ing railroad transportation for news
paper advertising now forbidden by
law, but it is noteworthy that many of
the papers, including some of the
strongest, are opposed to it. We sus-
rect that the law will remain as it
is and that newspapers no more than
other forms of industry will swap
their products for tickets to ride on.

FREE SPEECH
AND SOCIALISM.

A woman has been deprived of
her God-given, or heaven-born right
to use her tongue in public har-
rangue from the brick paved streets
of Palatka, and she is citing the con-
stitution of the United States Of Am
erica. which she had adopted as her
very own, to show that her freedom
of speech has been abridged, contrary
to the provisions of that immortal
document.
The woman in question is a social
ist. a fact which gives value to the
abridgement from an advertising
standpoint. Had she been anything
else she wouldn't have been where she
was and there would never have been
any righteous Indignation to squelch
and no local socialists to placate.
The affair is most regrettable and
is unquestionably due to ignorance Of
the law on the part of the chief OF
police. This, or officiousness. Ger
tain it is that no one "higher up" had
a hand in the game. Palatka's only
sin consists in selecting a man un-
Learned in constitutional law for this
high and responsible Office. But this
affair with the woman, whose rights
we're unquestionably abridged, was
his first offense, and The News trusts
he will not be required to suffer more
, than a reprimand CT at most a briet
j suspension from office. 1t is more
) than likely that he had imbibed a dis
torted view of socialism, which seems
to be quite common on the streets o
this city, and that he was egged o,
to do what he thought was his duty
. There are many in this city who
l could they have their way, would shu
socialists of the feminine gender in
nunnery, and its male mouth-piecc
} in a bug house.
/ The News does not share this view
1t looks upon the socilistic propagan
da as a harmless sort of lunacy; tn
! disease. while infectious, being quit
t harmless. 1t is only when the diseas
enters the empty brain pan Of som
of its numerous adherants, that ther
is danger of its running into anarchy
= All anarchists were first socialists
= and all socialists were first industria
e failures or mental featherweights VIII

q Socialism is a theory with tie

THE PARDON OF

If "Shorty" Davidson was re-
leased from the turpentine camps
and we have no reason for doubt

crime was committed against the
State in general and the good

The Tampa Times has had much to
say concerning the recent pardon OF
"Shorty" Davidson, an act which 1t
condemns on general principles" and
without knowledge of the facts which
actuated the pardon board. 1t is in
line with The Times policy Of jump
ing on every act of the present State
administration in general and our
good Governor Trammell in particular
In all fairness The Times, supposed
ly an up-to-date newspaper, should
give the facts concerning this par
don. What are the facts ?
shorty Davidson was granted d
CONDITIONAL PARDON on August
