PERIscoPIc NEGOTIATIONS

PERlSCOPlC NEGOTIATIONS
By Thorn" in Palm Beach Post
Muh former friend, Bill Shakespeare,
In one of his 'showe-me'' moods,
said:
I'D rather be dog, a nice dog,
And bay the moon,
Than be sheriff in Florida
And have muh tnJottle handled,
And have three stIikes called, by
"A caustic Gait conductor
''F'r the governors bad habit
"Of saying, Here's your best hat,
Better take your private documents
with you-f'r it's my opinion
THAT you're not coming back here;
=" You don't have to hurry tall,
" But get You out right now
is decidedly and dishearteningly
Unpleasant"
Yassum
The conversational range-finder
OF Governor Cats, il seems to me.
Is a good deal like Charity, for it
"Uncovereth a multitude of skins"
And after Sidney has torpedoed
One of the belligerent officials
And the language has scattered
Before the man comes to he gets
Another dose in the same spot
Only considerably more so;
And from all over the state
Purity and Morality begin to weep
And speak with deaf-mute signs
So loudly that it would require
A dozen "oh, see de mops"
To scrub up the tears that
Virtue, in chagrin, would shed
In the woodshed
There've been more good resolutes
Resolved by the public officials
OF this state of Florida
Within the past six months
Than in the preceding six years,
And some of 'em, tn officials,
Have SO Strengthened up
That they are wearing front weights
To keep from falling backwards.
Yassum.
| Talking erbout all this misefasance
And malfeasance and nonfeasance
In Office, I'd like to here suggest
That no lawyer, off-hand. en- tell
The diff 'twixt any of them
Unless he held diagnosis,
An autopsy, or post-mortem
1t reminds me great deal
OF the misbacon. the malbacon.
And tn nonbacon on my table;
Sometimes there is, yolf know,
And again, sometimes there aint
But whether it happens to be
Mis-, NAL or non, it's evident
That the trio is keeping officers
| About as busy
As game-legged Spitz with fieas,
Trying to quench his thirst
Fl ON an oscilating lawn-sprinkler
1t is said that the
Sarcasm of Sidney
VIII greatly prolong life
Provided that one can dodge it.
But there are several county officials
Scattered through Florida
And well-scattered don't you know,
Who are so angry with Sidney
That they actually can't write him
Because their facial office
Is so awfully parched with peevish.
That they couldn't lick a post-stamp
Without an awful effort:
And if they'd happen to scratch
Themselves with his dismiss letter
They'd die of
lngrowing blood-poisoning.
Yassum.
Meantime Sidney Jay Cats says this
Is no quadlibetarian administration
Even if the Legislature thought so;
Let us then be up and doing,
Let us meet things face to face,
Let us fix for early going
When another takes our place:
And when someone kicks to the gov.
He merely sits back and says:
"FaS est ct alb hoSte doceri"
Better look that up).

WILL WORK LITTLE
HARDSHIP IN TiIS STATE:

1t is not thought Icy those who
speak with authority that tile bone
dry Federal statute will work any
considerable hardship To prohibition
III this state. Years ago the hardy old
rum tighter Of Virginia began to steel
himself for the worst. IN. Mann
law. tho first prohibition Law on the
statute books Of tho state, made the
countrymau dependent upon the dis
tant cities for liquid rcfrcS hmcnt. For
several years tho goods OF Richmond
dispensers flooded the outlyjn, dis
triCtS. tiut liquor without bar tcceS-
series does not appeal 10 tho average
man ana the supply shipped out foil
Off ~ an alarming rate, until in 1916
it was one tenth of what IT WAS tho
carly years Of partial prohibition.
Without the Reed amendment, il is
would have hccu made unlawful in
the Legislature OF 1915 convened Son
!,tor Mapp. sponsor for tho measure
which dol.s out with rangs of con
science the stinEy allowance, gave no.
ticc last winter that he would advo-
eat" a bone dry" Virginia just as
soon as the people were educated Ia
that point.
Leaders of tn" dry cause in Wv
ciuia were pronounced in their opinion
yesterday that the Reed amendment
would rctard ma tional prohibition at
least five years. Those States which
already hav" prohibition in some form
will NOT hc affected, they think. hut
others which will soon vote upon tho
question will bc hard to move by the
