Half-HOlidayS Until NOvembef,

As usually happens at this season
of the year, many business men for
get the period of the Thursday half
holiday agreement and the question
is asked if it ceases with the last
Thursday in September. Formerly
the agreement was effective from the
first Thursday in May until the last
Thursday in September, but last wear
and this year the period was extend
ed, so the agreement will not eypire
until the end of October. Thursday
October 26, is included in the closing
agreement and that will be the end of
the Thursday half holiday for 1916,
-Four more half holidays exclusive Of
today are in store for employers and
employees. This will set at rest ali
controversy over half holidav.-S+

Florida As A Summer Resort

Tampa Times: That the "Florida
First" commissions advertising cam
paien calling attention to the states
advantages as a summer resort is
proving effective is evident from the
thousands of inquiries received in ci-
ties participating also from the edito-
rial comment inspired throughout the
country. Quite number of metrop-
olitan papers commented upon Flori-
da's superior summer climate, COM
pared with that of other states, and,
needless to state these comments are
even more effective than the attrac-
tive, paid-for advertisements.
F10ridians can do great deal to-
ward making the campaign more ef-
foctive by writing friends and roia-
tivcs in other states Of the glorious
weather we have had throu@Eout the
summer months, while millions of less
fortunate brothers and sisters war2
writhing under a torrid heat, and our
newspapers and trade bodies should
ask that thew do so. Remarkable re-
suits would be achieved if every man
and woman who has the interest," Of
the state at heart would Join the
movement and drop 2 lire or two to
residents Of less favored sections.

Farmers Coming into Their Own

St. Augustine Record: Farmers
organizations are getting busy all
over the state, and news comes from
st. Petersburg that there is to be es-
tablished in that city in the very near
future q centrally located city mar
kct, all under cover and with space
enough for thirty-two stalls. If the
plan is carried out it will be run by
the Pinellas County Farm Growers
Association. This is an excellent for
ward movement and will benefit both
producer and consumer. Verify in
these days it seems as though the
farmers are about to come into their
own, thanks to the new spirit of CO.
operation that is taking possession of
them.

THE NILENESS
OF CATS.

Milton Smith, the sycophantical
Cats exhaust of the Tallahassee
Democrat, doubts the statement of the
Gainesville Sun that Rev" Cats
used the vile language attributed to
him in the Suns report of his meeting
in that city last week. Milton says:
The Gainesville Sun, an anti
Cats newspaper, charges that
when Mr.. Cats spoke there re-
Gently he used a most vulgar cpl
thet in the presence of two hun
The Palatka news and advertiser., 1916-10-06

dred women, and on this account
believes him insane. The paper
acknowledges that the room was
crowded with men, and the pre-
sumption is that the Sun man
was present, since he made the
charge.
If the accusation is true the
men who heard it, and did not
resent the insult by mounting the
platform and throwing the speak
er out of the window, are the
more guilty. AS they failed to
do this we must regard the
story as one of those many dis
tortions to which Mr.. Cats has
been subjected, and which have
all been disproved by him.
The charge is easily proven. And
it ought to be substantiated by the
affdavits of a number of those pres
ent who heard the language. Not
that we, or any man living has reas-
on to doubt Editor McCreary's state
ment, bat because his word has been
doubted by Cats supporters of the
Milton Smith variety.
Cats himself will eventually deny
it as he has denied other explicit
charges, and which have since been
proven to the satisfaction of response
BILE men who had to depend on the evil
dence of others.
Only last week the subject of Cats
vile words in his Gainesville speech
were being discussed by number Of
gentlemen in the Saratoga Hotel in
this city. Among those present were
Mr.. W. L. Cheeves of this city and the
editor of The News. Some doubted
that the vile language attributed to
Cats was used.
"But it was used" spoke up Mr.. H.
R. Roberts of Gainesville, 81 was
present and heard it,
GLOW did the crowd take it?" OBJ
served one gentleman.
"The crowd was silent; it seemed
naralvzed, nonplussed; people looked
at one another and disgust was ap-
parent in the faces of many. But not
a word was said"
Mr.. Roberts is a responsible gentle
man; he is the agent of the John |
Deere Plow Company Of Moline, ILL.,,
md has made his home in Gainesville |
many years. where he is known and |
reenected as a man of probitv and |
business ability. How he stands no.
iticallv The News doesn't know. Mr..
Roberts simply told what he himself |
,oard and expressed himself as thor
oughlv disgusted with the vileness of I
his ministerial degenerate who. for
he sake of political power, has deem
ID it necessarv to invade the slums
'or q verNacular in which to express
MS depravity.
No ore expects Milton Smith to be-
ieva this or any other proven charge
against the Cats. And had he heard |
It neither his chivalrous instincts nor
his meekly-moulded disposition would |
have moved him to "throw the speak
2r out of the window" Milton isn't |
'ni1t that way either morally or ply
'ically. He is just a mollycoddle
who is longing for a political up
'a0val such as will rive him a show
ng for = seat at the right hand of
he red-faced political pirate who
1opes to occupy the seat of power at

The Great Corn State

Jacksonville Metropolis: That
Florida is steadily coming into her

enormous yields of corn which are Sc

bushels to the acre.
It is a wonder that many hundreds

Have Done Without EN- So Far

Lakeland Telegram: A writer in
the Tampa Tribune justifes Cats for
killing his niger because Tom Heflin
did the same thing. 1t may be pre-
requisite to political preferment in
Alabama that one must have killed
niger but in Florida we have so far

Kent Pendleton, superintendent of
the Florida Anti-Saloon League, re-
fuses to be "fired" by the league
trustees who met in Jacksonville last
week and not only "fired' Pendleton,
but hired new secretary to take his
place. The trouble all grew out of
political prognostication made by
Pendleton just before the June pri-
maries, wherein he predicted that
Knott would lead and that Cats
would be a close second. Some of
the officials of the League were for
Hudson, and some for Cats, and all
three-Knott, Hudson and Cats had
declared themselves favorable to
statewide prohibition. Pendleton's
prediction proved true, but that did
not excuse him in the minds of the
Hudson and Cats men, and they have
ever since been trying to oust him.
But he holds the fort and is being
sustained by the National Anti-Sa-
loon League. Pendleton has done
good work, and there is no Justice in
trying to oust him-only spite-and
The League should be above spite, es-
3eciaIly as it is about to realize state
wide submission for prohibition, a

vile. whose bitter TRADE in the Flor
ida legislature of 1913, against north
ern "pests," which have "swept down
on the fair State Of Florida" is here
by notified that one of the most de-
lightful of these so-called pests, !"
Miss Jeanette Rankin, is\now a re-
publican candidate for congress from
Montana, and that she will not be
likely to do any more "swooping" in
this direction, sorry to say. 1t was
Miss Rankin who attended the legis
lature of Florida in 1918 on invita-
ton of the equal suffrage associa-
ton of the state to lobby for an equal
suffrage amendment to the constit -
tton. Miss Rankin is young wo-
man of eXceptionable ability and able
to hold her own in Congress or any
where else calling for brains and a
fine command of English. In
her platform she pledges herself to
work for the children of the nation
and for federal suffrage amendment.
