OFFICIALS DEMAND
INTERPRETATION OF
BRIDGE CONTRACTS

County Auditor Bowman, County
Attorney Hoelscher and w. O. Seaney,
commissioner, left this morning for
Indianapolis to confer with the state
board of accounts and the attorney
general relative to contracts which the
county commissioners are contem-
plating with John w. Mueller as spe-
cial bridge engineer. Statements have
been issued by the state board of :lc-
counts to the effect that no county
has right to pay a bridge engineer
per cent of the contract price for
drawing bridge plans and specifica-
tons. Commissioners have been in
formed by members of the state board,
however, that there is no objection to
this contract. They are anxious to
have a written statement to this
effect.

Children VIII Celebrate
BABY Week

BABY Week in Florida" would not be
at all complete in its plans unless it in
Guided an opportunity for the boys and
girls of our state to help in some way
but it does-and this day is set aside as
"Children's Day." day when every child
in Florida can do something for the wee
homeless babies of our state, that come
under the care of the ChiIdren's Home So
ciety Of Florida
Several plans are suggested by which
children may help the babies. Suppose
every boy and girl in Florida should earn a
penny or nickel or dime today, and send it
in to help the babies If all did this the
Home Society would have money enough
to take care of all the homeless babies in
Florida for more than a year. Perhaps the
school teacher would act as the treasurer
for school or community, and would re-
ceive all the money, and send it to Mr.. K.
". Covington, treasurer of the Society, or
if not, the children could send it them
selves, no matter how small the amount
might be- Many little ones come to the
Society, almost naked, some wrapped in
papers or rags.
Every boy and girl might send in some
article of clothing to help clothe the older
children at the Home as well as the babies.
Maybe you could get your school or Sun
day school to make up box or barrel or
package of such articles, and every article
would help a very great deal for there are
nearly thousand children each year re-
ferred to the Home Society for aid, many
Of whom must be clothed from head to
foot
Games, toys, rattles, dolls, candy and
fruits will all be acceptable, but the main
thing is for every boy and girl in Florida to
do something today-Children' Day-to
help save and provide for Florida's Home
less Babies.

Captain Bristol Would Increase
Aviation Service

Captain Mark L. Bristol in charge of
naval aviation, has expressed it as his
opinion that the art of flying is only in its
wonderful as its progress has been
in the past few years. Under the stimulus
Of military necessity it is making rapid
progress, and one of the results of the wal
will be the mastery of the air, as the ocear
has been mastered
Commenting on Captain Bristors opin-
ion the Army and Navy Journal SAYS:
A machlne-of $4,000 pounds weight
is in the vision of Captain Bristol, and
from abroad comes already the report
of aeroplanes with 1000 horsepower.
Captain Bristol advises that air craft be
treated as a new type of warship and
handled by officers detailed for such
duty, and not by a flying corps of civil
ians. He, would have a reserve of
trained officers and men supplemented
by an organization of manufacturers
and material producers. A mobile fleet
of eighty-two aerop1anes, five dirigibles
and forty-one balloons should be imme-
diately provided at cost of $13, $4,000
with personnel of 430 officers and S52
men, to meet present requirements, to
be ultimately increased to 638 officers
and 1000 men As officers are already
instructed in battleship duty, Captain
Bristol believes that preference should
be given, over other branches, to the
service now known by the name of
aviation and which he would call
aeronautics. There are now nearly
ready for delivery one dirigible, TWEEN
ty-three aeroplanes, sixty-four motors
and twelve competitive motors. Man
ufacturers are showing a gratifying
spirit of patriotic desire to aid the gov
eminent in this matter, the profit not
being sufficient to tempt them. Cap
tain Bristol recommends for use on
battleships dirigibles, the type expert
ence is showing to be the most effec-
tive, being better distance flyer than
the aeroplane and having greater car
rying capacity. The balloon types are
useful for observation. 1t is expected
that officers will soon be ordered to
aviation duty.

The Place Of
The For gotten

Oublette-the place of the forgotten
was the name given long ago to a well or
alcove where prisoners were walled up to
die.
We think of the oub1iette as a horror be-
longing to medieval times, nevertheless,
our prisons today might equally well be
called the abodes of the forgotten.
After the law shuts the door of the house
of punishment upon convict, the free and
busy world never stops to think how he is
treated.
Once in while some sensational investi-
cation discloses the horrible abuses which
our system OF forgetting makes possible,
and we are shocked to learn that prisons
manufacture more vice, insanity and more
criminals than all other human follies.
The other day the Mutual Welfare
League" an organization of ex-convicts,
got up lecture in New York, in order to
explain the results of prison abuses to the
public. This was unique departure in the
history of prison reform.
The men did not plead for greater kind
ness to those behind the bars. They sim
ply told the truth about the abuses which
set convicts to planning and working for
revenge upon society, and then they told
of the kindness which turns them to nor
NAL way of living.
There's nothing new about the theory.
We apply it to animals.
The Mutual Welfare League asks US not
to deny it to man.
Society, somebody says, has no more
criminals than it deserves
A better reading might be: Society will
have all the criminals it deserves, until it
energies from its medieval frame of mind,
until it stops forgetting about man after
it has thrown him into jail

Hazards a Solution

The Pensacola Journal recently
made rather remarkable discovery.
In January person named Brown,
who is running for congress in Geor-
gia, announced his platform and few
weeks ago Y. L. Watson, of Quincy,
announced for congress from the
Third Florida district. The Journal
prints the Brown platform and the
Watson platform in parallel columns,
and they appear to be identical, not
only in thought, but language. Wat
son came from Georgia and it is pos
sible that the mental atmosphere of
his native state surrounds him still
and induces not only thought but Ian
guage similar to those of his fellow
Georgians.-Orlando Reporter-Star.

No Politics At Gainesville

It seems to be about as hard for
the politicians to stir up any real in

evangelists which come this way to

that people think there is plenty of
time yet: no need to get excited just
yet. The primary is way yonder in
June, and the Judgment day is way

FIorida'g Propoged CentenniaI-


The Pensacola Journal takes issue
with the Reporter-Star on the propo-
sition that Pensacola is not truly rep
resentative of the modern Florida,
and for that reason should not be
recognized as the one official site for
a centennial celebration in 1919. We
do not contend that Pensacola's just
claims to historical precedence should
not be officially recognized. Indeed,
it occurs to us at this moment that
the historical pageants and observ-
ances might be held in that city with
detachable coupon admission tickets
to be provided good for industrial,
agricultural and modern Floridiana
display at Orlando, with appropriate
attractions in the side tents.-Orlando
