most modern in both stocks and equip
ment. 1t is a growing city, and it's
business is keeping pace with the best
cities in Florida. Its streets are
clean, it has modern equipment of wa
ter, sewers, light, etc, and it's peo-
pie are as clean and wholesome in
their living as in any city this side
of the "pearly gates"
1t also has a modern, well patron

ing the nickles and dimes of women

pleasures, when under the old regime
"the saloons were offering father a

POLITICS AND
THE PEOPLE.

An article by Walter Lipmann il
the Metropolitan points out analogue
between business and politics:
The old theory that a business
exists for its owner is going the
way of the theory that a people
exists for its king George V.
in his proclamations, still talks Of
my people as some men talk of
my business" but everyone
knows that it is an empty fiction.
1t is no great prophecy, to say
that in a few years my business"
will seem just as antiquated
phrase. The best clue to the con-
dition of business is to recognize
that within it the same forces are
at work which have transformed
cities and states from crown col
onies and dependencies into more
or less self-governing members of
national federation. These new
democratic experiments are often
ignorant. sometimes corrupt; they
are easily betrayed they shun
the expert and they fear power.
You cannot have an industrial
system going in one direction and
a political system going in an
other. Either they must REIN
force each other or they will de-
stroy one another. Business and
politics are so close together they
cannot live on two contradictory
principles. We sometimes forget
the abSIrdity of that contradic-
tion. All the year long a man
may work in a factory and if he
CriticizeS the boss he is fired. On
one Tuesday in November he helps
to decide the hiring and firing of
the president of the United
States.

erie from Ocala under the direction
of the world-renowned animal trainer
Harry Peter, on horse. In this pa
rade were dozen Elks leading Will
lam Goats, and great cage contain
ing the only living elk in Florida.
This attracted an immense crowd and
was one of the gay affairs of the
week. This Ocala bunch of Elks are
among the gayest of the gay. They
pulled off one stunt that created
some excitement. j. c. Sanders got
in row with one of the local police
men while passing in the parade:
the policeman and Sanders came to-
gether and went to the ground, then
the Chief of Police stepped forward
and placed Sanders Inder arrest. A
local Elk came to the rescue and went
security for Sanders till morning.
But there was nothing to this-it was
all put up job, hatched by Sunny
Jim Robinson, and in which the no.
lice were accomplices.
Yesterday many of the visitors left,
but those who remained enioyed an
automobile trip to the camphor farm
in the afternoon and most delight
tul smoker at the Elks' hall in the
evening.
Those who are conversant With
Elks' conventions in Florida say that
the Palatka convention, now a matter
of pleasant history, was one of the
most enjoyable ever held in the state.
and as for attendance, it has never
yet been beaten.

WHAT is IN THE
PORK BARRELS?

There is a disillusionizing accoun
of pension-grabbing methods b.
Burton Hendrick in the World
Work, which accounts for what be
comes of quite share of our taxes:
In the so years since the Civil
war ended, the American people
have paid to its survivors or their
dependents over S4,500000,0 1000.
The Grand Army of the Republic
has a pension committee of cev-
en- members, which publicly
boasts that it has written all the
pension laws of the last 40 years.
What is the power back of it?
First, of course, are the old SOL
dierS, their votes on election lay,
and the votes of their sympathi-
zers. Back of this there de-
veloped in this country, in the
years succeeding the Civil war,
certain professional classes which
made living out of the pension
roll-the pension attorney and
the pension doctor. The business
of the first was to scour the
country for pension candidates
and to discover some niche in the
pension laws that would admit
the most undeseving; that Of
the second to find some physical
disability that could be traced to
field service. Both advertised far
and wide in the daily press, in
circulars and pamphlets and old
soldiers magazines. Occasion
ally they became so notorious
that they got into the criminal
courts. Presentation of old SOL
diers was a common practice;
thousands of veterans went
peacefully to their graves not
knowing their names were on the
pension rolls, other men. in some
cases pension attorneys, drawing
and pocketing the quarterly
checks. The United States, with
its notoriously small and made
quate army, spends more on pen
sions than all the great military
establishments of Europe put t..
gether. The United States gov
ernment is the only one that has
pensioned not only its faithful
soldiery but its deserters and its
dishonorably discharged.

The Florida green fruit law passed
| by the legislature of 1918 to prevent
shipments of green citrus fruits from
Florida, has been sustained by the
supreme court of the United States
in decision handed down on Mon
day. The court declared that mas
much as the citrus fruit industry is
among the largest of all the Florida
industries, it was only right and
proper that suitable laws should be
enacted for its protection. The only
question involved in the case calling
for a decision from the court was
whether the statute in question was
valid, or whether it was in violation
of federal laws, and this was decided
in favor of the state law. Hereaf-
ter seizures of green fruit in the
early autumn will be more rare.

Would you have the German Prus-
sianize the world? BY no means.
Neither would we have anyone Angli-
cize the world. The Germans have
never done anything to US, and we
know what the English are. quite as
well as do the French, the Egyptians
and the Beers. No, you'll have to eX-
cuse us. We wish to be dominated by
neither Londoner nor Potsdammer.
What is Prussianism, anyway? Does
it mean that Prussians would let a
million Irish people starve Of famine
on their dispossesseG lands, and a
million English workmen pine as pau
pers? No, if it is anything like that,
don't wish it on us. We are quite
willing that Europeans keep their in
sufferable sovereignty to themselves.
We are not ready to surrender our
American citizenship in 1915 to any
theory of exterior sovereignty, nation
al or international. III

bill to authorize the boards of com

money to employ county demonstra-

have already taken up this line of
work, while others have hesitated be-

of fear that it would be an illegal ap-
