POWELL SAYS SOMETHING

Although Hon. S. D. Harris, the
representative from Pinellas county
to the legislature, is a warm personal
friend of mine. having known him and
worked with him in many matters for
twelve years. | hold no brief for MS
legislative acts, yet feel it incumbent
upon me- to rush to his defense from
the attacks of his constituents in re:
No-Fence Law.
The people of this section OF Pasco
county had the same ambition as the
people of Pinellas-to relegate the
hogs to the pastures.
We held a meeting and brought in
to the conference a gentleman who
spent the first six weeks of the legis-
lature at Tallahassee lobbying for the
citrus canker appropriation
He advised us not to waste any
time on the subject. why" said he
"a no-fence law, local, countrywide or
statewide. has as much chance in
that legislature as a SNOWFALL in the
other place. Some nO-fence laws
were passed, of local import, but they
carried so many riders and jokers
that they are full os holes as a sieve.
The nothing doing sign is up at Tai
lahassee on the ro-fence bills, and
you could no more get a bill through
to put the little piggies in an enclos-
ure than you could to get Governor
Cats to lead a hula-hula dance in the
senate chamber
Now, all this discussion came up be-
fore the Pinellas county discussion
arose, and am telling this in passing
to prove to the people of Pinellas that
Sam Harris just had 10 bury the bill,
like any good undertaken woodland
give it a decent burial at that
Until there is a eappOrtionment
and the advanced section of the state
has majority in the legislature you
are not going to get any legislation
that the non-progressives do not want
you to have. May the Good Lord and
political Vaccinations hasten the date
when the representation at Tallahas-
see will be governed by population,
rather than by laws which were en-
acted when Florida was in its swad-
ding clothes and the balance power
was in that section, which, on account
of its lethargy has been slowly dying
from dry rot.
Don't blame Sam Harris. In other
words, don't shoot the musician-he
is doing the very best he can.-W. B.
Powell, in Clearwater Sun.

THE JOY OF THE CORN FIELD

Il feel better from, having seen that
field of growing corn is a thought
sometimes expressed but far more of
ten felt subconsciously by men and
women after a journey out into the
country in these beautiful days, when
big white clouds sail the sky, and the
earth lies warm and dusty under foot.
A field of growing corn. There is
something in it that appeals, whether
we are conscious of it or not. to our
deepest human instincts. for it arous-
es in us a sympathy with the great
warm earth which bears us, which
supports US through life. and which
i'll the end takes us back to her
breast. But it is not of the beginning
nor of the end that the corn field re.
minds US: it is of present and of the
near future, when cold winds shall
blow, that the corn is suggestive. We
see it now in its growing beauty, and
IN vision we see we'll stocked cribs
pulging with plenty for man and
beast.
There is hardly a sense that it does
not appeal to. In its green and Ieafy
beauty, it makes picture for the eve
When it is stirred by the wind, it's rus
Tie Is symphony for the ear. There
IS a good earthly smell in the we'll
worked rows. And, contemplating the
growing field, we get a foretaste of
the Wen filed ear roasted in the
shuck or boiled on the cob.
1t is no wonder, then. that men feel
better after having seen a field of
corn.

EDITOR JORDAN HAS SAID SOME
THING

Yesterday we said that a number of
editors wrote a great deal but said
but little, but that Editor Bob Holly
of the Sanford Herald did not belong
to that class of editors We said that
he said something" and quoted what
he said, as the proof of the pudding
is the pudding itself.
Now it affords us pleasure to say
that Editor Jordan of the Punta Cor
da Herald has said something"
We shall quote what he said, and
after reading it we believe that the
opinion will be unanimous that he has
hit the bulls eye"
Here is what he says:
THE government might try the
plan of issuing a billion dollars of non
interest bearing treasury notes, and
make them legal tender for all
debts, both public and private"

PITY THE POOR EDITORS

We observe with much regret that
some of the members of the Florida
legislature seem to be nursing and I'M
seemly crouch against the newspa-
pers of this state which have labored
very hard to give the legislators the
appearance of wise, tolerant and dig
nified body of men, even to the extent
of printing their pictures in the fea-
ture columns Of their publications
Perhaps that is where they fell down.
Be that as it may, it seems to US
that this crouch is unbecoming and
unfounded.
The newspapers of this state, with
perfect sincerity of purpose, have
tried, vainly perhaps. to manufacture
each legislator into a finished and
constructive statesman.
We say it reluctantly that this very
crouch that seems so to worry some
of the members is a self-evident prop
osition that those holding to this
crouch are groveling in a rut too mar
row to appreciate the tremendous val
use of newspapers to a state especial
ly to a young and growing state. so
we fear that our benevolent inten-
tions are loves labor lost"
We comfort ourselves, however, by
being reminded that it was said of old
time that one could not manufacture
"a silk purse except from a silk fab

EDITOR LAMsRlGHT ON THE NEW
CITIZENSHIP

At one of the school commence
ments in Tampa. Editor Lambright
was invited to deliver the principal
Grafton. and what he said is worthy OF
consideration.
The Times quotes the following ex-
tract from his mastery produc-
ton:
Those who go forth this year
from school and college to begin the
serious duties of life are called upon
to face conditions unprecedented, and
future ominously uncertain. We
may sit no longer as neutral specta-
tors of the CORY drama Of embattled
Europe, serene in the safety of inter
vening leagues of sea. Every state
thrills with the feverish activity of
imminent sacrifice. Preparation per-
vades the city and the village; our
colleges. are converted into military

of the wisdom that plans and the
courage that does. I believe that our
mission is Cod given-that the Divin-
ity which shapes the ends OF nations
as of men propelled us irresistibly
into the struggle, that we might bring
to the peoples of the earth that new
birth of freedom which We have our
selves enjoyed: to ring out the thou
sand wars of old and make hereafter
impossible the blood-lust of a king. :"
Mr. Lambright in closing his We'll

4 RICH MANS WAR AND THE
POOR MANS FIGHT

That was heard a great deal during
our civil war. The conscript act ex-
empted every owner of slaves to the
number of fifteen, the theory being
that it was as necessary to grow food
stuffs as it was to shoulder muskets.
but nevertheless it fed and intensified
the proposition that it was a rich
mans war and the poor mans fight. i"
and gave rise to more or less discon-
tent.
No such argument can be used about
the present war.
Exactly the opposite is true. The
first week after the declaration, be-
for eany details were worked out. an
excess profit law was passed on all
profit over s per cent. The income
and inheritance tax law is being made
drastic enough to put the great bur.
den OF cost upon the rich. The draft
law admits of no difference between
the rich mans son and the poor mans
son. In fact, it will take more of the
rich in proportion, as not so MANY of
them will be released as being skill
cd workmen, or supporters of families
Of dependent relatives.

DAY OF PRAYER

1T is essential that the day be ap-
preached in thoughtful apprehension
of its significance and that we accord
to it the honor and the meaning that
ut deserves. Our industrial need pre-
scribes that it be not made a technical
holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is
before US, urges that 1t be carried in
all our hearts as great day of patri-
otto devotion and obligation when the
duty shall lie upon every man, wheth-
er he is himself to be registered or
not, to see to it that the name of every
male person of the designated ages is
written on these lists of honor.
