PROBABLY PUNK

/. According to the Tampa Tribune,
Mr.. w. N. Sheats, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, has discov-
cred a s'secret organization" that is
working against the adoption of the
ten-mill amendment.
1t is an old trick of political parties
to spring a sensation just before
election in order to dupe the surprised
and indignant voters into supporting
their measures and candidates, but
we had supposed the educational
autocracy" was on too high plane to
resort to such tactics,
The Star has always favored and
supported Mr.. Sheats. If the Tribune
quoted him rightly, he must produce
proof of his "secret organization" OF
he can count on our active opposition
in his future political aims.
