On Tuesday night l visited the I'LL
nois Theatre where l saw the play,
"Thc Rainbow Girl" 1t was the story
of II wealthy English heir, who under
the guisc of being salesman mar
ricd the star in Il comic opera. The
wedding took place behind the seem
cs despite the advice Of tho funny man
of the play who warned the groom
against matrimony. He had tried 1t
five times and every time he went
out into the street he had to dodge
one of his wives who were after him
for aIimony.
THE END OF ALL PERFECTION.
The young heir found trouble when
he arrived at the ancestral home in
England. Bennett, the leading family
servant was Il character and admir-
ably well did he act his part. I en-
joyed hearty laugh as l noted the
changes and listened to the witty cay
ingS. 1t was nearly IL o'clock when
l entered Mrs. Lees residence and
III the morning decided to take the
time sight seeing and visiting friends.
But Il day in Chicago. like Il day in
New York is short day. The distances
are so great that much OF the time is
taken up in going from one point to
another.

"1TIE DOG-RABDIT."

There were numbers of clowns.
Two Of them were attired as hunts
mon. They had q small dog fellow
Ing them. The dog wore the cos
tume of a rabbit. Tho long ears
made a most amusing display. Ev-
cry ton or hften yards one Of tho
clowns would aim his gun at the
"dog-rabbit." When he fired tho
"dog-rabbit" would slowly lilo down
and stretch out Just as though he
was dead. The huntsman would
run to him and pick him up anu put
him into n bottomless game bag.
The dog would naturally go on
through, landing on the ground
again. They would proceed to walk

LITTLE TO GET IN, MUCH
TO GET OUT.

Entering tho tent, I found that tho
so cent seats were "bleacher seats"
at tho end where apparently the show
could not be seen to any satisfact-
ION. Two men on stands importuned
the visitors to purcl dso grand stand
tickets and sit in high back chairs
The extra price for this privilege was
$1.00
Many people viewed with dismay
the fifty cents seats, especially tho
ladies and proceeded to move to the
expensive ones. Tho parade took
place inside the show. There were
nine elephants. A clown had q tiny
ono following him, about the size Of
flee dog. This dog wore an ele-
plants covering and he went on
trotting around tho ring unconcern-
cdly. A. band Of colored musicians
was a feature, too.

the county printing of a new
county that causes the Advocate
to want new county. The edi-
tor of the Advocate has seen "of.
ficial printers" in .DeSoto county

lost less time running after "of-
tolal printing" than any other

holding down an editorial chair

BE calm, Brother Jordan,
admonishes Brother Carter of the
Arcadia Enterprise, because the
former said that, in view Of the
circumstances, the threat to re-
move the aviation camps from Ar
cadia was simply outrageous.
Brother Carter takes up more
than single column of space in
an apparent protest against what
The Herald said, but we, cannot
imagine why he should object to
this papers coming to the de.
fence of Arcadia. Nor, can we
understand why he reproaches
and sneers at our people, as he did
in three different paragraphs un.
der that big editorial, for being
unable to buy as many Liberty
Bonds as the wealthy city of Ar
cadia. Our poverty is honorable
and is an evidence of the fact
that our people are honest and
have not enriched themselves by
graft of any kind, either public or
private. Can Arcadia say as
much?

by people having to visit court
houses at Moore Haven, Sebring,
Wauchula and Punta Gorda, we
feel almost sure that the differ
ence would be sufficient in ten
years to build a Jail and court
house at each of the four places
named. But, suppose it would
not be sufficient; and suppose al
so, that the claim of our Good Sa-
maritans at Arcadia is true
(Which it is not), that the crea-
ton of new county would large
ly increase taxes in the new coun-
ty, have we not the right to tax
ourselves for our own public pur-
poses? If Wauchula and Funta
Gorda people see fit to add to
their tax burden, what business is
it of the Arcadia News and the
very solicitous and benevolent
capitalists of Arcadia?
Will they please read the BIZ
ennial report of the State Comp
troller, in which they will find
that the tax rate in Sumter, Cit
rus, Pasco, fernando, Baker and
other small counties is much less
than that of Duval, Hillsborough,
DeSoto and other large counties
Finally, the people of Arcadia
who oppose county division can
not escape the suspicion OF. being
moved by selfish, and not by
benevolent and patriotic motives
as they would have the world be.

One of the government bureaus
at Washington is sending out a
long-winded bulletin on "Ameri-
can Needs for English Clay" but
the bulletin does not state clearly
the purposes for which this clay is
needed. 1t is intimated, however,
that this English clay is needed in
the manufacture of table ware and
all porcelain products, as well as
in the manufacture of certain
kinds of paper. From our reading
of the bulletin, we cannot but con-
clude that the government experts
are utterly ignorant of the mex
hauStible deposits of kaolin at Ed
gar in Putnam county and at Okla
humka in Lake county, Florida.

November election, but, as certain
capable and upright gentlemen
who ought to be nominated and e.

vote in the primary and amongst
those for whom it will vote are: J.

Cromwell Gibbons for attorney
general and j. Harris Lancaster

gentlemen and we know that they

Here is proposition, the truth
of which we think no one will
have the courage to question: IF
it could be clearly shown that
county division would not stop
|any of the money which the court
house brings to Arcadia, but, on
the contrary, would add to the
revenues of that city, there would
be practically no opposition to
county division. This being so,
is 1t not conclusive that the oppo-
sitlon originates in pure selfish
ness? Also, that the able and up
right editor Of the News has un-
consciously become imbued with
the spurious logic of those whose
financial interests would be affect
ed by division?

Let the People Rule

w Ill UHC NOItCiiANN 49, NtNAASe
News and others who are oppos-
ing county division please state
whether or not they really believe
in the time-honored doctrine of
the rule of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people? Also, if
they believe in the Democratic
doctrine of local self-government?
If they honestly believe in these
universally accepted principles,
will they please explain how they
reconcile their faith with their OPP
position to county division? Why
do they not "practice what they
preach?"
All that the divisionists ask is
that the people of each affected
section be permitted to vote on
the question of whether they want
a county Of their own. We I'M
derstand that that will be the gist
of the bill which Mr. Whitehurst
will introduce when he gets to the
legislature. 1t will be a bill SINH
lar to that which permitted the
people if Pinellas county to vote
Oh the proposed separation from
Hillsborough. In other words,
Mr.. Whitehurst bill will not
force new county upon the peo-
pie Of Moore Haven. unless they
themselves vote for it.
Can anything be fairerY What
right have the Arcadia News and
its coadjutors to say to the people
of Punta Gorda or of Wauchula
that they shall not be permitted to
vote on the questiin of county di-
vision? Dare the opponents of
division claim such a right?
Oh, no! They do not dare, but
they put their opposition on the
grounds of benevolence and pure
patriotism. They argue that they
want to save us from ourselves,
from financial bankruptcy and
heaven knows what all. That is
the sole argument that they have.
In making it, they virtually
charge that we haven't sense e.
nough to manage our own affairs,
and, at the same time, they expose
themselves to the suspicion if hy-
pocrisy, for nobody, not even they
themselves will believe their pro-
testations that their opposition is
based on a benevolent Solicitude
for our welfare.
They try to intimidate us by as
sorting that the creation of new
county will add greatly to the tax
rate which the people of the new
county will have to pay, because
there will be Jail and a court
house to build and an extra set of
officers to support. Those who
make this argument know full
well that, with the exception of
the superintendent of schools, the
county officers are paid in fees
and, therefore, do not add a sim
gle cent to the tax burden. AS to
courthouse and Jail, Punta Cor
ola can get along without them for
five or more years, and the same
is doubtless true of Wauchula and
Sebring.
II 1t were possible to ascertain
the total annual expense incurred
by people living twenty-five miles
or more from Arcadia, in having
to go to Arcadia because of its be-
ing the county seat, and deduct
from this total the total annual
expense that would be incurred
