REV. COBB WRITES
Thinks st. Louis Church Folks Will
Want Autos on The Golden Streets
in Heaven-Won't Desire to Walk.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 22.-Editor
Message thought perhaps the
observations of country man in the
city might be of interest.
am here, as you know, to under
go an operation on my eyes to pre-
vent total blindness if possible.
The lavish expenditure of money
on the one hand is almost criminal
while the herculean efforts to keep
afloat on the other is indeed pa
thetic. Food prices are a fright.
My landlady is paying &c cents a
dozen for eggs. Eggs have been 40
cents, and SO cents per pound for
butter and other things in proper
ton. The young person, unskilled
and who can make his board had
better stay away from St. Louis.
Good, clean young people, boys and
girls, assure me they have to deny
themselves in a way never dreamed
of in the country or small town in
order to live here on $50 per month.
Young people getting no more than
$50 per month have all the temp
tations and disadvantages of the
city and are shut out from all of its
advantages.
The churches are doing a great
work, no doubt, but they impress
country man as being frigidly polite
rather than religious. Maybe this is
all notion, but one thing is sure,
if good clothes and politeness will
take one to heaven the church folks
will certainly walk the golden streets
of the New Jerusalem povided
there are no street cars or automo-
biles in which they can ride.
My landlady says the cost of
sending her boys to Sunday school is
lprohibitive. She says the boys
classes which her boys would be in
all wear long black robes at the
churches near enough for them to
walk, so it is humiliation for the
boys or an expense for the mother
which she is not able to meet This
was not church with a begowned
clergy, either, but it shows whittier
we are drifting.
AS one walks about the city he is
impressed with the thought the horse
is rapidly going the way of the In
dian and the buffalo. While walking
a block l counted 80 passing autos
horses, and the next block showed
25 and two. respectively. and 1
think these figures about tell the
tale of the city.
But I have said enough.
Your friend,
H. l. Cobb.

ANOTHER HOUSE ON WHEELS
COMES THROUGH TO FLORIDA

Mr. and Mrs. Warren Lothrop ar
rived Saturday afternoon after making
the trip south from bingham, Mass.
in four weeks in their Overland house
automobile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lothrop are we'll
known residents of their home city
and have spent several former winters
in Florida. They have at last found
the ideal way to come south in the
fall. Their car is fitted out with all
necessities and comforts of home and
they have had very pleasant trip,
enjoying the scenery along the 1000
mile trip. They have seen hundreds
of other cars, all bound for Florida.
At two of the river fords, the boatmen
informed them that they had averaged
nearly fifty automobiles day for the
past few weeks and that practically all
were bound for Florida.
After spending the weekend here,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lothrop left Monday
morning for St. Petersburg on the
west coast, where they plan to spend
the winter

law should be law which expresses
the real vote, which expresses the de-
sire of each voter and which tends |
to secure for the people the best |
nominees for the general election.
Florida has outgrown the present /
general election law. OF that l myself |
am convinced. The growth of the state
has been such that it is necessary |
that we adopt such form of ballot |
which will enable not only the intelli- |
gent voter, but those who have not
the advantages of better education. to |
take full and best advantage of the
ballot before them. The present form
is unwieldly and confusing, and does
not serve the purpose. We should have
ballot where the various party can
didates are grouped separately. The
Democratic party has nothing to fear
from the adoption of such a ballot, be-
cause. in the present age of enlight
ment, and the general betterment of
the standards of the people, they de-
sire their tickets so printed that they
can, with one cross, vote for their
whole party candidates. or vote for in
dividuals in any group The system
as used in the state of New York. is
by far better than that used here.
and the state of Florida can we'll af-
ford to follow such an example, as far
as the form of ballot is concerned.
"As for important bills which I in
tend to introduce, as well as what laws
feel should be amended, and which
repealed, at the present time l am not
prepared to state fully my intentions.
l do believe that very material as
sistance should be given in aid of our
big industries which are developing
! the state. / believe that apprOpria-
tons should be made to assist in the
eradication of the cattle tick. as we'll
as assistance in the elimination of
the citrus canker. l shall vote for
change from the fee to the salary sys-
tenn. / favor a bill which would hold
counties responsible for the non-re-
pairment of roads promptly after due
notice had been given them of the
bad condition of roads, bridges, and
other public structures. Today such
Is not the case, being only concerned
with cities. also believe that where
judges are nominated by the people in
primary elections, and elected in the
general election, that this should be
held sufficient. AS it is at present,
the judges must be appointed by the
governor. This is fundamental right
belonging to the people, and believe
q constitutional amendment to this ef-
feet should be submitted to the people
for their vote and approval. I believe
the bad check law should be so amend
ed as to render it of use and value.
There are a number of other matters
which should be taken up, and 1 shall
endeavor to do my part in the de-
veloping Of these matters. However,
the keynote of broad-minded legisla-
ton tempered with judicious use of
common sense viii be my standard"
