PAINTERS AND DECORATIONS
 DRAFTING A BILL Will Be Presented at Session of Legis- Iature Relative to oceupationaI Dis eases.


 Convinced that the state compensa- ton act does not do justice to their employment, painters, decorators and paper hangers will, it is. said, united in drafting a. bill to be presented to the legislature at it's next session asking that the law be changed to include establishments in which less than five men are employed. The present com- pensation act applies only to establish ments in which five or more men are employed, and the painters unions claim that of the S7.o00 mefnbe<s of the brotherhood, more than fifty per cent. work in shops where there are less than five man, so that they are denied the benefit of the act.
 The painters believe, further, it is stated, that the compensation laws should be compusory; that seate in- surance should obtain to the exclusion of the casualty liability insurance. self insurance or insurance through em- ployers' mutual associations; that compensation should be paid from the commencement of the disability; that 1t should be more liberal than so far provided; that. in case of permanent disability, it should continue for life and in case of death, be paid to the widow for life, or until re-marriage and to the children until eighteen years of age; surgical and hospital expenses should be paid under the act and that compensation should be given for disability due to occupation al diseases, pointing out in this par ticular that many men in the painting trade become partially or totally dis. abled through Iead-poisoning.

"The heroism of the black Tenth"
is claiming considerable space in the
press just now, owing to the good
fight the negro soldiers put up at
Carrizal in opposition to several
times their number of Mexicans. But
it will take more than one Carrizal to
wipe out the memory of some past
performances of colored troops. This
same black Tenth went on the war
path in Ybor City in 1898 and shot up
the town, maltreating innocent men,
women and children and destroying
much valuable property.-Daytona
Journal.
Our recollection of the Ybor City
affair was that a number of men
from the Tenth went on a rampage
in the redlight district and roughly
handled a number of the bad char
acters therein, and If any good peo-
pie were hurt in the scrimmage it
was because they got in the way. We
have heard some perfectly good white
Southern democrats who were in
Tampa, and in the army at the time,
say the negroes had a good deal of
plovocation, which of course did not
excuse them. But it seems to the
Star that the Journal should remem-
Der that the Ybor City affair took
place eighteen years ago, and it is
more than likely that not man who
fought at Carrizal, probably not a
man now in the regiment, had any

STAY ON THE JOB
(Times-Union)

AAOS-
The men who offered their SER
vices to the home guard did not do
SO because they thought there was no
possibility of their services being
needed" says the Ocala Star. "Per-
haps there will be. At any rate, it is
not good taste to make fun of men
who are willing to do the community
a service without being paid for it.
They are not any too plentiful" The
Stars rebuke is such as to quiet some
Of the Knockers" but there are
others who will no doubt continue to
poke fun at the men who volunteer
not for the excitement and possible
danger of the front but to take the
place of those men who have gone,
and be ready to defend their homes
and the homes of the scoffers and the
homes of the men at the front, should
danger threaten while the latter are
away. And men who realize the re-
sponsibilities of the "stay at homes
will continue to act for the general
good, regardless of the criticism OF
the empty-headed and thoughtless
who are not themselves anxious to
undertake duties of the kind either al
home or abroad.-Times- Union Short

Now that our library building is
completed many of our citizens are
interesting themselves in presenting
the board with exhibits suitable for
the enterprise. 1t is the plan of the
board to have various exhibits of the
natural products of the state display

Robertson Friday presented the IL
brary board with some splendid ex-
hibits of phosphate rock and other
minerals found on his properties in
the Withlacoochee valley. The Camp
Phosphate company also announces
that it has a number of rare and in
teresting specimens for exhibit as
soon as the management is ready to
receive them. The board of manag-
ers feel especially kindly to the many
public spirited citizens who have re-
sponded to their call for voluntary
exhibits for the new public library.

thing to do with it. Be that as it
may, these men are our soldiers,
wearing our uniform and marching
under our flag, and when they have
gone into battle at the orders of our
government, fought bravely and suf-
fered, its blamed poor business, and
unworthy of any American, to rake
up against them something done,
probably by other men, almost score
of years ago. The Tenth regiment
saved whole regiment from being
cut TO pieces during the Spanish
American war, and for all we know
to the contrary it may go to the
rescue of our Florida boys before the
year is out.

CARRANZA HAS MADE
NO CONCESSIONS
New York Herald


It would be unfair TO President
Wilson to accept at full face value
the assertion contained in news dis
patches from Washington that the
Carranza note delivered yesterday is
to be accepted as satisfactory" High
officials of the government are given
as authority for this assertion, but
OILY the president can say the certain
word, and he has not yet spoken.
Carranza is "conciliatory" in the
sense of using more diplomatic Ian
guage in this note than in some of his
others, but he makes no concessions.
He is as insistent as ever upon the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico, though sugar-coating his in
sistence this time with talk about
environments, and he stands where he
has always stood with regard to
mediation. He wants mediation
assuming, of course, that it will be
Latin-American mediation and having
done his best to prejudice all possible
mediators by bombarding the capitals
of Central and South America with
notes explicitly charging the govern
ment of the United States with mis-
representation, dishonesty and bad
faith.
There is neither apology nor sem.
blance of apology, regret or prtence
of regret for the massacre of Ameri.
can troops at Carrizal. Doubtless
Carranza felt there was nothing tx
add to his full and frank avowal Of
responsibility for that affair contain
ed in the note handed to Mr.. Lansing
on June "a. He is wiling enough tt
forget Boyd and Adair and the gal
liant men under them who were sho
down at Carrizal by his orders, pro
vided they will be forgotten at Wash
ington along with all the other Amer
leans who have lost their lives il
Mexico during the last three years.

The Ocala Star, mentioning the
fact that Editor Leach has gone on
a trip and left the Leesburg CONNER
cial without an editorial page in his
absence, suggests that "a good many
papers would be improved by the per-
manent elimination of their editorial
pages, and so far as we know the
Star is one of them" To this we will
not agree. The Stars editorial page
is always interesting and truly re-
fleets the observations of a calm, un-
prejudiced mind upon the current
events of the world. The Star fire.
quently finds itself differing from the
Times Union and does not hesitate to
say so and we appreciate the consid-
Grafton while deploring the circum-
stances which brings our views into
disfavor with our excellent neighbor.
Union.
When the Times Union sets out to
be sarcastic, it always makes a clean
job of it. However, we will ask it a
straight question, to which it may
make straight answer. Doesn't the
Star agree with the Times Union
oftener than it disagree with it?

president Wilson has never want
ed war. In the days when his OPP
-ponents attacked him and tried to
goad him into the use of the armed
forces of the United States, he re-
manned steadfast to his determination
that the blood of young American
soldiers should never be shed except
as the last recourse in the effort to
uphold the honor of the nation"
As we find the above lucid utter
ance in both the Daytona Journal
and the Orlando Sentinel of the same
date, and as the two towns are sixty
odd miles apart, we don't know which
one to blame it on; but whoever the
wise guy was who write it he evident
| ly forgot about that unnecessary ex-
plot at Vera Cruz in April, 1914
About score of our young men were
killed on that occasion, and what
good the sacrifice of their lives might
have done was entirely thrown away
when the town was given up to the
Mexicans several months later.
