is to compel households to use m r.
year only half the fuel and lights
which they used last year. The ex-
cuse is that the visible supply Of coal
is not sufficient to go round. If Pro-
Garfield had devoted half as much
time and thought to increasing the
production Of coal as he does to in
venting schemes to deprive people OF
coal. there would be no fuel prob

less days and lightless nights-and

ARE BREAKING THEIR OATHS

The manner in which the governor
and majority of the members of the
legislature have disgraced their oaths
of office in regard to the quart a
month law is disgrace to the state
The quart a month law was a good
law in effect, and would have stuck if
it had not been for the crazyquilt
structure of technicalities with which
justice is enwrapped in this and other
states. On some technicality, the liq-
uor people found room to base an APP
peal and the supreme court sustained
them.
We suppose the supreme cour,
makes mistakes sometimes, but the
people of Florida have set it up as
their court of final resort, and at
tempts to evade or set aside it's de-
crees are highly reprehensible in the
private citizen, and ten times more so
in state official. So when the leg
islature, at the bidding of the COVER
nor, re-enacted the law simply be-
cause they believed it could not be
again nullified by the supreme court
in time to have effect, they broke their
oaths and committed themselves to /.
picayunish and INSCRIPTIONS policy.
Their calculation, so far as the SUI
preme court was concerned, was cor
rect. 1t couldn't or wouldn't declare
the law invalid in the few weeks left
to it. But the liquor people took the
case into the federal court, and that
court promptly sustained the state SUI
preme court.
1t would seem that this decision
would settle the matter. But now
comes Gov. Cats and says he expects
the sheriffs of the state to carry out
the quart month law-that is, that
he expects them to join him and a
majority of the legislature in defying
both the state and federal courts
Consulting an eminent lawyer, who
knows more law in five minutes than
Cats has learned in all his life, he
says that he would not advise any
sheriff to disregard the decision of
the federal court. 1t is true the de-
cision was made only in regard to
one case, but it would be most unwise
in any official to assume it would not
apply to another.
But the worst part of it is the dis
position shown by our executive and
lawmakers to evade our laws by
tricks that could only be expected of
the lowest class of ward politicians.

CATS AND ANTI-CATTS
IN THE CABINET

Editor Star: Editor Jordan of the
Punta Gorda Herald in his defense of
Treasurer Luning makes the state
ment that Mr.. Luning was the only
member of the board of state institu-
tons who did not vote for Cats. In
this l think he is mistaken Commits
sioner MeRae made several speeches
during the campaign in the interest
of the nominee of the democratic
party for governor and the state
ticket, and so far as / know or recall,
he is the only one of the nominees for
a state Office who said or did thing
for the success of the ticket.
If Luning, Crawford, Amos or
Sheats opened their mouths or pocket
books after they received their nomi-
nation, / never heard of it.
l have heard it remarked several
times that Mr.. McRae was the only
democrat in the bunch, and he is the
only one had ever thought of sup
porting again for public Office. But |
am glad to see the assertion made
that Mr.. Luning also voted the demo-
cratic ticket in 1916. w. w. c.
No man in this state knows how
another man votes unless the other
man tells him. The impression is
general and the Star has shared in
it, that Mr. Crawford is the only man
in the cabinet who voted for Cats.
This, however, has nothing to do with
the condition of the school at Ma
rianna, nor the extraordinary frame
of mind in which must have been the
members of the cabinet when they
signed the whitewashing report. We
fail to see where any one of them had
any reason for signing his name to
that disgraceful document.
