Against the Secret Ballot

The secret ballot has been tried
and found wanting. 1t not only
opens the doors to frand, bur it
promotes deceit, hypocrisy, treach-
cry and moral cowardice.
Away with it and give us Vi
va voce voting
Require every man, as The Her
aid urged last week, 10 stand up
in the polling place and name a
loud the candidates of his choice,
Under such a system there could
not be miscounts, fraudulent re-
turns, altered ballots or stuffed
ballot boxes.
Friends of the various candi-
dates would be present at the
polls and keep private tallies that
would prevent any fraudulent tai
ly by the election managers. The
count would go on with the voting
and, as soon as the last man voted,
the results would be known.
The only reason for the secret
ballot is that moral cowardice
may be protected. No man should
be afraid to stand up in public
and call out the names Of the can
didates whom he prefers. Any at
tempt at intimidation should be
punished severely.
In the earnest opinion Of The
Herald, the plan of voting viva
voce is the only one that can elm
mate errors and frauds in the con-
duct Of elections, and the news
papers of the state should give
the matter serious consideration.

A Young Florida Poet

One of our Florida newspapers
last week had a brief compliment
tary mention of Henry Green Bar
nett. young Floridian who has
recently published a volume of
poems. At the time, the identity
of Poet Barnett did note occur to
us, and tho paper containing the
notice of him was carelesSly tos-
sed away Since then, we have
learned that we have known him
since his early childhood and that
he is one of the sons of Rev. and
Mrs. Robt. III. Barnett of the Flor
ida Conference, who are well
known throughout Florida.
Young Barnett was born in
Lcesburg, this state, Dec. 18th,
1890. He is now living at Clay
ton, Ga. For some years past, he
has been contributing poems to
leading magazines of the country,
one of his latest being "The
Breakwater," which was contrib
uted to the August number of
the Countryside Magazine as an
Interpretation of its frontispiece,
which is fine picture of scene
in the Rocky Mountains.
The volume of poems recently
published by Mr.. Barnett was is,
sued from the press of Barnes,
French & Co., of Boston, Mass,
and are on sale a $3.50 each. Many
of them treat of Florida scenes
and experiences and appeal to the
sentiment of the people of this
state. We have not had the pleas,
ure of reading any of these poems
but knowing the young author
and his kindred for their literary
brilliance as well as their loyalty
to Florida, we do not hesitate to
recommend them to all Floridians

ing native talent of all kinds ,es

Thorn, in Palm Beach Post -
Many readers labor under the i'm
preston that newspaper lacks
for matter with which to fill its
columns. This is a great error.
The plant may lack for time in
which to have its matter put into
type; or it may be too expensive
to have the work done; or the
advertising may be so light that
the cost of setting up" for some
article may prove a losing game ;
but there is always enough to "fill
the paper. ," 1t not a question
of getting enough to put in, 4"

That Fishing Lodge

Editor Jordan of the Punta
Gorda Herald, tired Of the per
plexities of politics, is about to
build for himself a lodge in some
vast wildcrness-a place where
the Cats cease to trouble, and the
weary can be at rest, without fear
of being swatted with a Knott,
A fishing lodge it will be, presided
over by the premier fish yarner of
the land. And all the editors Of
the State are yearning for an in
vitation to spend a while with
this CHEEKY and serene philoso-
pher, far from the madding
crowd, where instead of politics
one may consort with much to be
preferred wood ticks, and where
the association with humbugs may
be exchanged for that Of red-bugs.
Lakeland Telegram.
We don't know how this fish
ing lodge story got started; but,
as the joke appears to be getting
serious, an explanation may be in
order. Editor Jordan rs regard
for his Florida brethren is such
that, were he able, he would build
for them not only a palace on
Charlotte Harbor, but also a cha
teau on the Virginia mountains,
with free entertainment at each
for every Florida editor and his
family. Fact is, that is what the
Florida editors deserve; and, in
recognition thereof, Editor Carter
of the Arcadia Enterprise, propoS-
ed last year that the editors form
a stock company and buy this big
tourist hotel at Punta Gorda and
run it as a year-round resort.
Properly advertised and managed
it would pay dividends that would
enable each stock holder to enjoy
its accommodations for at least
one month in each year.
Editor Carter's proposition is
certainly alluring and it is prac-
tical, too. The only trouble is
that the hotel is worth $25, 100000,
but we understand that the own
crs want over $50,000.00 for it.
For the past ten or twelve years
they have handled the property
in such an unbusiness-like way
that it has been a dead expense
to them and, if they are not GO
ing to change their methods pref
ty soon, they had as well give it
away to any one who will accept
it as present.
Owned and boosted by the Flor
ida editors, the hotel would be
kept full of guests the year round
and would pay handsome divi,
dends. There is no finer or more
desirable location on the Gull
coast.
Let's buy this hotel and make
it the greatest fishing lodge il
Florida.

nanecs

in Frederick, Nd. The party arrested
was brought before justice on the
charge of speeding. The case will be
made test case. The city attorney
has been requested by the mayor Of

TEMPORARY GOOD ROADS.
Work Being Done in Rhode Island
Not Regarded as Permanent.

What to do in any kind of construc-
tion work when one does not have
enough money to do the best thing is
a very trying problem, particularly
when the work is done for the public.
which expects the highest class of re-
suits. even when 1T pays for only sec
ond or third class This is particularly
true in road Improvements, say officials
of the American Highway Association.
In Rhode Island. for instance, there
are many miles of old-fashioned mac
adam roads built without bituminous
material. They withstood travel well
until motor vehicles became so nu-
merous that a different kind of con-
struction became necessary. The board
of public roads has not had enough
money to reconstruct the roads with
the most durable but expensive classes
of material and workmanship. and SO
II Is doing the best 1t can with what
it warns the taxpayers are measures
of only temporary avail. When one of
these old macadam roads Is badly worn,
the board reconstructs it by first plac-
ing three or four inches OF broken
stone on top of the old surface and
rolling 1t thoroughly. This stone is
then covered with heavy road oil, which
is covered in turn with sand, and then
the road is rolled again. Chief Engi-
neer Patterson says of this work:
we 1eI that something must De
done to alleviate conditions. and we
did what We believed to be the only
thing we could do under the circum-
stances We have received many fiat
tering comments from tho travelling
public upon this work. but we have
endeavored to make plain our stand
that we considered the work of a tenn
porary nature
The board does not fall into the dan
ger of terming such construction per
maneEt" when it is really only serv-
iceable for a few years.
