No Undertaking Business in Flor
ida

In the last issue of the Punta
Gorda Herald there is an cad !"
offering for sale an undertaking
business. The lad. " says, "No
competition; stock and fixtures at
cost. :" Well guarantee there is
not another city of 1000 popula-
ton in the United States where
you can buy an undertaking bust
ness at cost where the business
has no competition. We do not
want to discourage the gentleman
who desires to sell, but he could
not give us the business. No, sir !
We don t want any undertaking
business in Florida. We staid
four months two winters in city
of Florida containing 1000 Gouls,
and never saw a hearse while
there. No wonder he is willing to
sell at cost.-Arcadia News.

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-02-25

Between fanatic prohibition adyo-
Gates and spineless representatives in
the legislatures, Idaho is in fair way
to earn a place among the freak states
of the nation. The republican party
was pledged to submit the question of
state wide prohibition to the people in
the form of a constitutional amend
ment if the necessary majority could
be obtained, otherwise 1t was pledged
to support prohibtory law by legis-
lative enactment. The resolution sub
hitting the question was passed, and
The republican members should have
stood squarely upon their platform and
refused to enact a prohibitory law, We
believe the people of the state favor
prohibition and that an amendment Il
the constitution to that end would be
adopted il submitted But 1t will moi
mot be surprising il the efforts to en-
force the statutory law during the brief
period between the date the law goes
into effect and the vote on the consti-
Ilutional amendment will convince
many people who favor prohibition now
that the enforcement of a prohibitory
Jaw is impractical and that system
II more rigid regulation of the liquor
business is preferable. Thus the eager
ness of the over jealous prohibitionists
may result in their ultimate defeat.

MINE INSPECTORS REPORT

It is a matter Of regret that the linn

nnce of the scheme OF economy that
in recent years has been worked over
time by politicians and place hunters,
then IL is time hat the people who have
a real interes 1t in the development Of
tie states resources should be heard
from The title of this office il very
misleading, for 1t conveys the idea that
the inspection of mines from the stand
point of safety and sanitation l. ahou'
all there is to 1t, and perhaps this is
the conception that prevails ii those
sections of the state not directly iden-
titled with the mining industry. But
this is altogether an erroneous idea The

The inspector Of mines Is required
to visit every section Of the state and
gather data not only in connection with
operating mines but those places also
where there is evidence of undevei3ped
mineral resources with the view to
encouraging its development 1t is evil
dent from this that the inspectors du
ties cover wide range and their faith

greatest Importance to the state. II
appeals not only to those directly de

But Of what value is the collection
of data and valuable information re-
garding this great resource of the state
if the means to publish 1t to the world
is withheld? The admirable reports
published by the present inspector have
been of inestimable value to the state,
and their usefulness could be greatly
increased by a more liberal provision
by the legislature.
