GILCHRIST PLEASED
WITH HIS CHANCES
FOR SENATORSHIP
The More the Merrier He Said Of
Candidates
Says There Will Be Others Be
sides Senator Bryan, Wall
and Himself

Former Governor Albert W
Gilchrist feels in the best of spirits
concerning his candidacy for The
United States Senate to succeed
Nathan p. Bryan after March 4
1917.
In the city yesterday he ex,
pressed himself to several of his
personal friends as satisfied with
the outlook from this distance
and he is sure there will be others
in the race beside Senator Bryan,
himself and Perry Wall Of Tampa.
He intimated very strongly that
he knew of at least one other who
is being grOomed for the race; but
the more the marrier, says the
former governor, who is confident
that the entry of others will but
strengthen his chances in the gen.
eral wind up.
Gov. Gilchrist was looking in
the best of health and was the
same jolly Floridian that he was
before being seated in the govern
or's chair. He expects to be in
Tallahassee, Of course, some time
before the legislature adjourns, if
for no other purpose than to see
his old friends who will be gather
ed there from all parts of the
state. -Jacksonvill Times Union,

like to see this town a good town.
They do not lack public spirit.
Individually they have all the ele-
mentS that make a town prosper
Gus and pleasant; but they lack
cohesion.
They seem to think that speak
! ling well of the town is enough.
1t is a lot. 1t is a lot better than
kicking. But there is not only a
lot to be said for this town, but a
lot to be done for it. We all
know what this town needs. Any
man can sit down and in five min
utes figure out a lot of things this
town ought to. have. But men
Will have to get together to bring
them to pass
That is what cohesion is. This
is what is meant by having not
only a wish but a plan and an aim
to achieve. And the thing to do
IN any town that wants to make
THE most of itself is to get behind
the Board of Trade or Chamber of
Commerce or whatever the local
commercial organization may be
called and lift.
But it will be pleasant labor
and labor that to some extent
brings its own reward. No man.
no normal man at least, wants to
be hermit. He wants to associ-
ate with his fellows. How can he
associate with them better than in
some effort to make this a better
town for all of lis?

Georgia and came here many
years ago. He was about Sc

of Major Jones, for he was a gen.

nearly everyone liked.

''EFFICIENCY",
BY E l. DOYLE,
Secretary Treasurer District IS. Y. M. w OF A.

Much is being said these days about
efficiency in the workshop, mine and
mill, some of its advocates claiming
that the wage question could b. settled
by paying zach workman a wage in pro-
portion to that paid to the strongest
man in tho industry
No worker receives more than liv-
ing wage. though many receive les-, and
while il is one of the aims OF the labor
union to secure living wage, those who
oppose this aim and would establish an
efficiency plan in its stead. say in ef-
feet. to labor that they are willing TO
pay for all work performed. but since
the most efficient man in the industry
earns but living wage. each Of you
must reach his degree of efficiency or
be satisfied with less than living wage.
This kind of efficiency, II it may be
called such. is but the speeding up of
the human machine to its utmost limit
OF endurance. using all its energy as
fast as il is developed and even forcing
the mind and body to borrow from the
future that it may finish given
task in a specified time. And Of what
avail is living wage TO worker while
speeding up" when II means that even.
tually he will become n human wreck.
unfit to labor or only able to perform
such tasks rs bring him but a bare ex.
istencey
Under this plan not only would the
efficient worker be brought 10 a state
Of invalidism. but the vast majority Of
1uy
on less than living wage. because of
their inability to reach the standard Of
efficiency that paid living wage. would
gradually lose all incentive to strive for
the better things in life and instead of
tending toward happier and more pros.
perons people the opposite would be the
resnlt OF this or any other plan that has
for its purpose the speeding up'' or
the over working Of employees.
Efficiency should mean the strength.
ening OF the weak places in society, and
not the penallzing of individuals who
compose that society. Mans value TO
society consists of the service he renders
IT and no industrial rule SHOULD be per
ntted to interfere with the DEVELOPMENT
of the individual by ovcrworking him
~ '''''' p"Nibe lDf rUe services he
has rendered society. Because nature
has not provided any standard by which
the work units expended by each wor.
ker can be correctly measured. IL does
not follow that an employer is justified
in paying less than n living wage to any
man who has rendered n service TO So
ciety upon the theory that some other
man has rendered a greater service.
All large industrial concerns must
necessarily depend upon executive Off.
GERS. managers, forcmcn, etc, in the con
| duct of their business. and the ability
Of such agents is usually measured by
the cost of production; IL therefore fol
lows that in order TO make n record os
able officials, IL is only natural that
they should fail to increase the ON.

portion TO the increased speed Of Tho
