Heroism of the French Women.

A Needless Tax Burden

We hope the DeSoto county
candidates for the Legislature will
have the courage to declare for
the abolition of that needless, nay,
ridiculous tax burden, the county
criminal court of record. While
demanding its abolition. The Her
aid wishes it distinctly understood
that it means no reflection upon
the officers of the court, for it re-
CARDS the judge, the prosecuting
attorney and the sheriff as men OF
honor, capable, conscientious, and
efficient in the discharge of their
duties. But the work of this
court can be easily attended to by
the officers of the circuit court,
and, under present conditions, 1t
seems an outrage to continue this
absolutely needless burden upon
the taxpayers of the county.
The existence of this court is q
tacit reflection upon the ability Of
the circuit judge, who has only
three counties in his circuit, to The
business of which he is amply able
to give full attention.
The only places where sucl
courts may be needed are Jack
sonville, Tampa, Pensacola and
maybe, Key West. TO have on
in Arcadia, is actually foolish.

Florida Strawberries

Last week s Bradford County
Telegraph contained column cdi-
torial on the merits of Bradford
county strawberries, as compared
with those grown at Plant City
and Puhta Gorda. Bradford grows
as fine Strawberries as can be
grown anywhere in the world, but
Plant City and Punta Gorda ber-
ries are also of splendid quality
and come on in midwinter, when
the people of the north are willing
to pay a good price for a taste of
those delicious fruits suggestive of
the land of sunshine and flowers,
But Bradford, Hillsborough and
DeSoto counties are put on notice
that no more luscious strawberries
are grown anywhere in the state
than here in Manatee county,

Pay of Teachers

Some newspapers are making a
clamor for increased pay for
school-teachers. While The Her
aid readily admits that the teach
ers are not paid enough, it thinks
it not amiss to call attention to
two circumstances, or facts, viz:
Most OF. the teachers of Florida
public schools are girls, and most
of these girls have undertaken the
work with a view to marriage.
Each wishes to earn enough to buy
a big, elegant trouSseau, then mar
ry and quit the work. This is a
fact which cannot be disputed.
Many of them marry right in the
middle Of the school term and quit
their jobs without ceremony. Sec
ond, the teachers work only six
hours day and for only five of
the seven days in a week. For
thirty hours work per week, most
of them seem to be getting pretty
good pay. Finally, if any of them
think they are not paid enough,

Barefoot Clubs Proposed

Barefoot clubs are being organ
lied in the South to save leather
this summer. Look out for a
bumper crop of stone bruises
Tampa Tribune.
Down in Texas, they've revived
the "barefooted clubs" There
are plenty Of folks who would
rather go barefooted than pay SO
for a pair of "leather shoes -
made of roofing felt.-Ocala Ban
ner.
Since shoe prices advanced to
such a ridiculously high figure,
The Herald has (sotto voce) adj
vocated the organization of bare.
foot clubs. There is no reason
whatever, except the idiotic de-
mands of fashion, why Southern
people, particularly the people of
Florida, should wear shoes in the
summer time. If our boys and
girls can go barefooted, what
sense is there in grown people
wearing shoes, especially when
they cost 800 a pair and up?
Barefooted people never have
corns or bunions and rarely take
cold; therefore, let us all go bare
footed.

advertised as the annual picnic

make a joke of the talk that Cats
will go to the senate when his term

was some such talk of "jokes"

Fletcher and his friends appear to
regard the suggestion of Catts's
candidacy for the senate as joke,
but observing people saw in his re-
cent speech-making tour of the
state a preliminary campaign for

Prodigious County Proposed

If Editor Jones of the Arcadia
News, should be so unfortunate as
to be projected as a member into
that aggregation of asses that as
semble biennually in Tallahassee
to prosecute the people, we infer
from what he says in his News OF
the 9th inst. that he would imme-
diately introduce a bill to annex
the entire state to Sebring and
make it one prodigious county
with Sebring as the county seat.
That certainly would suit the edi-
tor of The Herald, but some other
fellows might object.
Our inference that Editor Jones
contemplates doing this astonish-
ing thing is drawn from the fol-
lowing:
Wayne Thomas having printed
in his Plant City Courier splen-
did compliment on Editor Jones,
in which he said that DeSoto couli-
ty was going to send him to the
legislature, the Sebring White
Way commented thereon to the eff
feet that he, Editor Jones, would
have to change nightly on coun-
ty division, if DeSoto county is GO
ing to send him to the legiSla-
ture."
Commenting upon these com
ments, Editor Jones, in his paper
of the 9th, remarks editorially,
"Suppose we should change
NIGHTLY just enough, fro in.
stance, to make beautiful little
Sebring a county seat of some
three hundred thousand square
miles Of territory; what, then
would be our chance in Sebring?'
We should say that il ought tC
be good in every precinct of thu
county, provided that Editor
Jones can give satisfactory guar
antee that he can "deliver tn,
goods. " Why, just think of ;
county containin g 100000
square miles of territory" Coul(
