SNOW IN CALIFORNIA


Newspapers in California are
rather fond of jumping on Florida,
especially whenever there is any
thing that resembles a cold wave re-
ported from this State. The reason
is, of course, not far to seek.
Florida is the only State that is in
any way a rival to the far off coast
and the attractions here naturally
take from California something Of
the tourist trade that that State has
heretofore considered as its especial
property.
A few weeks ago there was re-
ported from California something of
cold wave and snow storm that
was minimized in the reports as
much as possible, but the local pa
pers were not so careful, and as they
are now arriving on this coast we
learn something of the extent and
the depths of that cold wave.
The Sacramento Union lets the
cat out of the bag in the following
story of the cold spell:
Zone of the heaviest, if not the
very heaviest snowstorms the Sac
ramento valley has witnessed in half
a century or more covered this city
and the surroun ding country with
mantle of white early January l..
Starting at $3.50 o'clock, the snow
ntinued to fall until $50. The
snow, in SO far as Sacramento is con-
cerned, was no mere furry of few
scattering flakes. The fall was
thick and steady and the flakes were
large. Early risers were surprised
on getting up to see the snow every
where about them. 1t chung to the
branches of the trees, banked up on
the roofs of houses and thoroughly
coated everything in sight.
Florida has no disposition to
crow over California in the matter
of climate, although this State has
many climate advantages, but it
would like for the newspapers of
that State to be less gleeful when
the frost is on the pumpkin in Flor
ida.-Miami Herald.

CONVICTS ON ROADS

Floridas convict system is not
good one and some better plan OF
handling should be devised.
Arizona has been employing con-
victs in public road building for the
last three years. In letter writ
ten recently, Gov. George w. +.
Hunt, of that State, says the ad-
vantages Of the system are increas-
ingly apparent. Writing in further
detail, the governor says:
lat present more than half OF Ari-
zona's prisoners are employed in
highly and bridge construction
camps. In addition to the fact that
the utilization of prison labor in this
way affords healthful employment
for thc men and encourages the up
building of character, it as been
found that road and bridge construc-
ton accomplished under this plan is
more thorough than that which can
be obtained with day labor, chiefly
for the reasons that the prisoners are
kept steadily at one branch of work
and become proficient therein.
whereas day labor proves to be more
or less transient.
The cost of prison road construc-
ton, as compared with that perform
ed under contract, does not vary ma
terially, except in the quality of the
work done. The preceding state
ment, however, does not auuly to
those road and bridge camps where
honor men without guards are en-
ployed In such camps the expense
is so materially reduced as to con-
stitute, in itself, an additional en-.
dorsement OF prison labor.
The plan of employing prisoners
on highways, generally speaking, ha!
worked out admirably in Arizons
and now receives the hearty endorse
ment of those officials under whose
immediate supervision the roads ant
bridges are built. 1t has proved t.
be both humane and practical"
Some plan might be worked on
for this State and accomplish mucl
that is good for the State. Tn
honor system is being tried in man,
: States and has always wrked well
} 1t would be more difficult in thi
r State because of the large numbe
e of negroes who are convicts and tn
| lack of responsibility felt by neg
70 even under the most favorabl
r conditions. Whether the homo
e system wuld work with the black

CLEAN HANDED JOBS

Two men were discussing the
other day, in the hearing OF the
writer. the question of reative pay
in different employments. One man
was a bookkeeper, and one was
locomotive engineer. Apparently the
first was getting something ike
$3.50 a day, and the latter nearly
twice as much.
Eaerybody's getting pretty tired
of the way your crowd is hogging
it," was the way the bookkeeper put
it, after his dander had risen severai
degrees. 1T takes just as 'much
brains to be bookkeeper as 10 De
an engineer, and yet you get nearly
twice the pay. 1t raises the cost OF
living for every one else"
The above mentioned dispute
raised a question that this news
paper could not try to settle. ABOUT
all you could say is that the two
callilgs require two very different
types of brains. One may not be
things 60 one is in greater demand.
The engineer would have mussed
the other mans books in a hopeless
tangle of wrong credits. The book
keeper would scarcely have known

Not many years ago bookkeeplng
jobs were deemed more gentlemanly
A bockkeeper could belong to select
clubs from the the red flannel shirt
ed engineer was excluded. But now
the presence of women in clerical
work has lowered wages. Anything
that can be done with pen, ink and
typewriter, women can do as well
as men, and often with more meth
odical accuracy.
The trend of the times is to drive
men into more constructive work
even if billed" shirt is discarded
for overalls. The man who crap
pies at first hand with steam ant

higher pay than the man who

GOOD TEST, BUT
DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE

Two of the provisions of the reso-
luton passed by the State Democrat
ic Executive Committee relative to
secret political organizations are as
follows:
Fourth. That he will not .e in
fiuenced in voting for or against any
candidate by any religious test or
on account of religious belief, de-
nomination or sect with which the
candidate is affiliated.
Fifth. That he is not a member
of any secret organization which at
tempts in any way to influence po-
litical action and purposes of which
organization will justify him in re-
fusing to support any nominee of the
party"
That many candidates in Florida
have been voted against solely on
account of their religious belief
there can be no doubt. Within the
last few years religious feeling has
entered politics to an extent that
might we'll be considered alarming
When the state committee, which is
the source of party authority in the
state, drew the line on Democrats
who would be influenced in politics

The rules laid down by the COM
mittee are drastic and all inclusive
but the difficulty of enforcing them
Is obvious. The test cannot De car

nomination for President lor MI

Tho. Mr. Roosevelt can get that
nomination unless the Repuoii'aA
convention at Chicago deadlocks Tor

Six weeks ago petitions were CIR

ballot 1t is probable that Mr.. Roose-
Welt could have carried that State
bur he interviewed and required the
Secretary of State to take his name
off. A similar action has just peen
taken by Mr.. Roosevelt in the large
State of Michigan, which Mr.. Roose-
welt carried in 1872.
This policy, if persisted in, means
that Mr.. Roosevelt's name VIII not
90 before the primaries in any OF
the primary states, or at least one
tbird az the total. Those States
will. therefore, give first instructions
for other men. Mr.. Barnes pre-
diets that New York will vote as
unit to defeat Roosevelt. Penrose
should be able to swing Pennsyl-
vania'g vote the same way. Numer-
Gus other States, carried by Roose-
welt in 1912, promise to instruct by
default for other men.
The result of this will probably be
that Roosevelt will be the first
choice of only an inconsiderable
number of the Republican delegates
who will assemble at Chicago. His
chance of being nominated, there
fore, depends largely upon a divis-
ion of sentiment between Root,
Hughes, Burton, Weeks, Cummins,
Fairbanks and the other men now
mentioned for the Republican nomi-
nation.
How things will go only time can
determine. Mckinley was assured
of the Republican nomination Ions
before the 1896 and 1900 conven
} tions met. Mr. Roosevelt had nj
opposition in 1904. Mr.. Taft go
the nomination in 1908 on the frs
ballot. This year much will depend
on the results of the Republican
primaries and conventions in tn,
first dozen States. If one man zoe

THE VOICE OF WISDOM
AMID JINGO CLAM0R

Some of our Florida papers seem
to be in a state of deep indignation
and acute distress because President
Wilson didn't order the United
States army to march across the Rio
Grande right away after the news
came of the killing of bunch Of
American citizens by Villas ire
sponsible bandits in Mexico. These
editors demand drastic action with
out waiting to hear from Carranza,
and, entirely ignoring the fact that
that gentleman had even more at
stake than this country in captur-
ing and executing the murderers,
and was employing every agency he
possessed to that end, they clenched
their fists, ground their teeth,
rolled their eyes and cried Shame
upon wilson," and several other re-
marks of like import, as they con-
templated the awful humiliation of
their country.
And in the midst of their melo
dramatic display of pumped-up emo
tion, like the deep voice of wisdom
drowning the clamor and prattle and
mimic fierceness Of the warriors of
the sanctum and the Faber, come
the calm, clear words of William J.
Bryan, who expresses the views of
the great mass of the thoughtful
people of America in the following
brief interview which we find in the
Miami Herald:
Intervention would cause the
United States to lose all it had
gained in Latin America in half a
century, and if the lingo press could
force the administration into inter
vention America would be under sus-
picion until all forces were with
drawn from Mexico, said Hon. w.
j. Bryan, former secretary of state,
yesterday, alluding to the situation
which has arisen over the reported
killing of large number of Ameri-
can citizens by Mexicans in Mexico.
He said:
1.-The demand that the United
States intervene in Mexico is quite
in harmony with the policy of the
jingoes. They want war and they
seize on the first excuse that pre-
sents itself. | am glad to commend
the president in his stand against in.
terveption, and believe that in TAX.
ing this position he represents the
views of the vast majority of the
people of this country.
"Carranza has been recognized
and will doubtless do all in his pow
tr to apprehend and punish thos,
guilty of the attack which resulte,
in the death of the Americans.
Intervention is not only no
necessary, but it would cause thi
country to lose all it has gained il
half e century in Latin America. |
the jingoes can force this countr
into Intervention, our country woul
be under suspicion, until our force
were withdrawn.

who have no vision outside of their
selfish personal interests and know
nothing of the Incompatible value of
community effort will deny this. In
the ORLANDO movement j. y. Steven
son, field secretary of the American
City Bureau of New York, is helping
in the work, and here is something
he says on the subject which Lake
land and every town in Florida that
wants to keep on growing may take
to heart:
In the last five years chambers of
commerce have grown nightly in
power and public opinion. Although
hundreds have fallen into dry rot
and disappeared. other hundreds
have taken their places. There are
more than two thousand such or
CARNATIONS in America today. The
city or town without organized pub
lie spirit will stand still. Orlando
must advance to hold its prestige.
1t would be useless to catalogue the
mistakes that have led to the col
lapse Of civic-commercial associa-
tions in the scores of cities where
they have fallen to decay. The re-
peated failures have pointed the way
to success. That is the important
factor. Hundreds of American COM
munities have found that their So
eial, educational and economic sal
walton lay in cooperative action
through an efficient commercial or
ganization.
