workmen wanted by the Lakeland
Highlands Cooperative Association.
Several times there have appeared
advertisements for help by the Cit
rus Exchange, which is scarcely able
to get enough men to enable it to
operate. The phosphate people are
all clamoring for help. The road
contractors are all eager for laborers.
IN the face of these facts. 1t is diff
cult to understand how anybody can
claim inability to find enjoyment

tective that he can not find work
under these conditions ought to be

The records in the Office OF the
county clerk prove absolutely that
some one swore falsely before the
grand jury. The perjurer is hiding
behind the secrecy that envelopes a
grand jury's proceedings. On such
testimony. without investigation, a
partisan Governor removed the ccun-
ty commissioner of this district; and
he made the removal without even
giving the commissioner opportunity
to present defense. We appeal to
every fair-minded man as to whether
this is right or common justice.
