WHAT HUGHES WOULD HAVE
DONE

Attacking the president for the eight
hour law, which averted nationwide rail
road strike, Hughes described what he, or
any other good Republican, would have
done in the following words:
Had the executive when arbitration was decln-
ed at once directed the entire force of public opn-
ion to the demand for the recognition of the prin-
cipe of arbitration, have doubt he would have
Had the executive gone at once to congress for
immediate authority to secure prompt and thor
ough investigation of the stated grievances in ad-
of action, and had he thus made instant pro-
vision for an inquiry entirely competent as to
command the respect of the country, am satisfied
there could have been strike"
Hughes does not say so, but we are to
| infer that had the brotherhoods struck, and
had rioting followed, as it must inevitably
have followed when 100000 men, out Of
work, see their jobs going to others,
Hughes would have ordered out the troops.
Or rather we are to infer that he would
have prevented violence.
But reading about the Garments strike in

The change in human nature in time
of stress is no less certain than the
phenomenon of the lamb and the lion
lying down together.
Continual brutalizing blunts the
sensibilities. The act of that Scotch
soldier, which appears monstrous to
US, may, over there, be considered in
the light of regrettable Incident
for, bear in mind, the people are &C
customed to blowings-up by Zeppelins
death in every shape, and mangling in
every form. By the same token that
horse stealing was considered crime
in the west until quite recently and
homicide an eccentricity, the chief
concern may be that private was
able to get away with valuable am
munition. At any rate it would be in
teresting to learn whether the man
was executed for murder by the civil
authorities or whether the military
authorities cancelled his discharge
and sent him back to the front tt
save the State.

New York-which may involve 100000
we are assailed by grave doubts. The fol-
lowing dispatch from the Associated Press
shows what is happening up there:
New York, Sept. 20-Several hundred strikers
and sympathizers attacked four surface and
engaged in running fight with the police tonight
Several persons, including women were hurt Many
arrests were made.
Now in New York city, under the
Hughes Public Service Act, the city is
stripped of all power over traction COM
panies and traction employees. The most
the mayor can do is issue statements. The
most the police can do is try to preserve
order-that they are not able to do so, is
proved by the daily rioting. The Public
Service Commission while it is vested with
certain powers of regulation and control,
cannot adjust labor disputes, cannot even
compel hearing before a strike is de-
clared; 1T is true representative of the
public in only one respect as the New
York World points out, namely, that it is
treated with undisguised contempt by both
parties to the conflict
The only man who can do anything is
the Governor himself; but Governor Whit
man, Republican, is too loyal to the only
issue his party has raised to do his duty to
100000 people. He is too concerned with
his own political ambitions to put an end
to the anarchy that reigns in New York.
Ordering out troops might lose him some
labor votes; taking action against the trac-
ton managers, might deprive him of the
sweet friendship of the almighty dollar.
And anyway, he is too busy going from

Change of Government

The members of the city council of
Miami desire change in city govern
ment. Thy have not the time to de-
vote to the city's interests that is
necessary and they suggest that either
the commission form or the city man
ager plan be adopted. 1t really seems
imperative that some plan that pro-
vides sufficient remuneration to per-
nit man or body of men to devote
their entire time to the city's business
ought to be adopted by every city the
size of Miami, and indeed before that
proud height is attained. However
public spirited man may be and
willing to render assistance to civic
matters, it is not right to expect him
to neglect his own business, his means
of livelihood, for the welfare of his
city. The burden should be distributed
in the way of taxation to provide ade-
quate remuneration for men who will
make tn city's business their bust
ness, and be responsible for results
and accountable for failures. We pre-
| diet that Miami will have either a
commission or city manager form OF

State Press Comment
Prohibition Cause Injured

Prohibition Cause Injured
Owing to the pernicious political
activities of the officers of the Florida
Anti-Saloon League, the cause of pro-
hibition has received setback that it
will take years to overcome.
1t is plainly evident that in the In
terest Of the cause, Messrs. Pendleton
and Mcmillan ought to withdraw
from any official connection with the
League. Just as long as they are con-
nected with it, reputable prohibition
lists will not take an active-interest in
the work.
They have perfect right to asso-
ciate with any political party they
wish to, but they have no right, had
none, to make use of their official po-
sitions to advance the interests of
any political party, and in doing so
they have dragged the sacred cause of
temperance down into the quagmire of
Florida politics, and irretrievably in
jured the cause.
Just why the national officers Of
the Anti-Saloon League do not take
steps to remedy this matter, is sub
ject that many prohibitionists outside
of Florida are discussing. Conditions
here represent cancerous growth on
the organization nationally, that if
not removed, will sooner or later af-

Compulsory School Law,

Editor Journal:
There is an effort being made to
get the compulsory school law into
effect which will be all right when
the extra pupils can be taken care of,
but take our county for example, the
school board is overwhelmingly in
debt, and cannot provide now for the
regular increase of scholars, text
books ought to be provided for, and

next legislature pass an act making
the age for entering school CD seven
years, instead of six for as it is at
present, a large number of children
get in before they are six years old,
that would give a considerable time
for the board to catch up, and the lit
tie ones would be better prepared to
begin their school life.

GOING TO SCHOOL.

Now really, boys and girls, we don't be-
1ieve that school days are the happiest time
of your life, and we don't intend to tell you
So Certainly we never found them so.
From long and varied experience-yes,
and painful, too on occasions which shall
be nameless-we know that school has de-
cided drawbacks.
The truth is there isn't any definite
''happiest time The happiest days usually
come with mans estate, for in taking your
place among the larger responsibilities of
life and leaving routine drudgery behind,
you have greater opportunities. Happiness
consists in doing your duty-and doing it
well. A business deal IS to be carried
through; book written; an invention
thought out; suffering to be relieved;
railroad line to be built through the path
less jungles; political faith to be dissent
mated right living to be preached; ditch
to be dug or field to be plowed-some task
to be accomplished requiring your very
bestest efforts and if you are victorious,
all the toll of accomplishment is forgotten
i'll peace that passeth understanding.
No, you won't know this serene happi-
ness yet awhile; but you have a better
chance for happiness than the children

THE TABLES TURNED.

The eagerness with which the Cats par
tlsans are calling for recounts now, should
be very comforting, to those whose faith
to Knott endured through such a bitter
period of abuse, for it proves to them that
the Cats people didn't mean all those hard
things about going behind the returns, the
murder of democratic principles, and the
like.
Speaking about Alachua county, the
Tampa Tribune, than which there was no
more determined opponent of Mr. Knott in
his appeal for a recount, has this to say:
But the fact remains that an entire precinct, in
which Cats had lead Knott of fifty-nine
votes not included at all in the reports made
the general result made by that board. The su-
preme court has given Mr.. Knott the benefit of
every gained vote he has claimed matter how
gained-can it do otherwise than give Mr.. Cats
credit for the votes duly and properly cast for him
in this Alachua precinct?
The case comes UP for decision Monday
and there is no doubt whatever but that the
recount will be ordered, if cause is proved
despite the entirely gratuitous aspersion
the Tribune casts on the Supreme Court of
the state when it says, referring to the
counties in which the vote was counted,
and Alachua, "The fact that these precincts
gave Knott more votes than Cats may or
| may not be significant
But the Tribune wants more than a re-
count of one county. 1t out-Knotts Knott
1t wants the entire state recanvassed. Read
| this:
| The Tribune is inclined to believe that Mr.. Flour
noy's figures, submitted to the supreme court,
| showing that papable errors in the returns from
| the whole state if corrected, would place Mr.
Cats majority at 916 are nearer the truth than
any figures which have yet been compiled. If
| instances in
county, where Cats precinct entirely elimi-
mated and Knott precincts all carefully included
we have no doubt that Mr. Cats majority is much
1000 than 260.
| In case evidence of fraud or error can be
brought forward for every county in the
state, the sovereign people have the right
40 demand an entire recount in order that
the nomination may be ascertained. That
was the object of the vote in the first place.
| Unless the peoples choice can be establish
ed beyond suspicion, democratic ballot is
a bowling farce,-Which has always been
the contention of The Journal and we vel
come the esteemed Tribune to a platform
OF such simple justice. Unless we miss our
guess shrewdly, Knott himself would have
insisted on the recount being made in a
great many more counties than he cited
could he have secured the evidence, for poll
ling such large second choice vote all over
The state it was to his interest to increase
his lead as much as possible
The fact that Mr.. Flournoy is unable to
present any proof in substantiation of his
wild assertion proves that there is nothing
to justify it. The claim is therefore made
merely to deceive the unthinking voter
But be this as it may, no fair minded per
sen could object to recount if its neces-
sity was established

THE PRINCESS WISH.

Once upon a time there lived a little
princess. She was so beautiful that
the king gave her anything she wish
ed. One day she expressed a desire
for a doll, a truly wonderful doll, that
could talk and walk and sleep in a
flower. This the king promised to get
for her. He forgot all about 1t the
next day, however, and was much sur
prised to hear his little daughter say
to the queen: Mamma, am quite I'M
happy. Father has not yet given me
the doll asked for"
The king Immediately sent out and
got her a doll that could walk and
talk and was SO small that 1t could sit
In a flower. But this was not what
the princess wanted. She wanted a
doll that really lived. In vain did the
king advertise by heralds for such a
doll.
Meanwhile the princess was sitting
at the window gazing out at the stars.
She did not care for the many beautiful
toys lying around her She had fool
ishly set her heart on that doll. A
beautiful rosebush climbed up to her
window and was literally covered with
the sweet smelling flowers. While the
princess was gazing at one of the buds
she saw little green worm creep to-
ward the heart of 1t. Now, the princess
detested any kind Of worm, but
when she heard a timid, soft voice
say, Help me, ah, help met her
heart was touched. Reaching for
ward, she brushed Off the worm, which
fell to the hard stone pavement below.
Then a little flower spirit rose up
from the flower and said to the prin-
cess: "For saving me from such hor-
rible death / will let you have one
wish. Tell me what you want most"
So the princess wished that she had a
doll that could walk and talk and
sleep In a flower.
The fairy looked grave. There are
only fairies that do all you want, and
1 know that l could not get you one.
For the great service you have done
me, however, l myself will be your
fairy. But l cannot come OF the rose
vine, for / belong to one OF the roses.
You can sit here whenever you want
TO, and I win come and talk TO you"
The princess was happy then. for
she had all she wished. Forever after
that. with the little fairy to guide her
along the path OF life. the princess
lived happily.
