The resolutions adopted by the union
also called for the reinstatement of
the nineteen patrolmen who were
suspended for violation of the depart
ment rule forbidding membership in
outside organizations and whose sus-
pension was the immediate cause of
the walkout last Tuesday afternoon.
Gov. Coolidge received Frank H.

Federation of Labor, and other labor
leaders this morning. The message
to the governor from Mr.. Gompers,

yesterday.
Gov. Coolidge. in a statement yes

walkout as desertion of duty rather
than a strike and that he could think

men should be taken back. He said,
however. that the matter rested with

BOSTON, September 13-It is a fight
to the finish. The offices formerly
held by striking policemen are va
cant. New men will be recruited. The
request Of Samuel Gompers that the
strikers be reinstated is refused.
This is the attitude of the state as
made known today by Police Commits
sioner Curtis. 1t appeared to mean the
complete failure of the attempts at
compromise.
Gov. Coolidge promptly Endorsed the
attitude of the police commissioner. II,
too. will be guided by the opinion of the
attorney general" he said.
The city was generally quiet to-
day, and business went on as usual.
Man Shot and Killed.
Raymond Gaist of Dorchester was
shot and killed when he resisted a
state guard near the corner of Ire
mont and Boylston streets. 1t was
said that he refused to move on and

received the bullet in the breast. In

crowds another shot was fired. wound

In response to telegram from Samuel

General Strike a Possibility.

A general strike in support of the
police was still possibility today.
Several unions affiliated with the Gen.
trail Labor Union met last night to
vote on the question of going out,
but in most cases action was post
poned to await the outcome of the
suggestion of President Gompers. The
Telephone operators put the question
over until next Tuesday.
State guard troops continued to
patrol the streets in conjunction with
the voluntary policemen and loyal
members of the regular force. There
was no repetition during the night of
the rioting and looting which marked
the first forty EIGHT hours of the
strike. and only a few arrests were
made for minor offenses

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, September Ia
When President Wilson's special train
stopped for a few minutes at Pasco,
Wash, shortly after o'clock last
night, a crowd surrounded the prf-
vate car ''Mayfiower" and the Presi-
dent came out to shake hands and ex-
change greetings with them. After
telling several stories, he wound up
by making a short speech. in which
he said the war was Diminished" I'M
til the United States had assumed re-
sponsibility for its pledges that future
wars should be made impossible.
When he asked how so large q
crowd had gathered without having
the band out, Mr.. Wilson was told by
one of the boys present that 'the
bands wore out

Senator Capper's Suggestion.

Senator Capper pointed out that the
President and the Attorney General
are at present working out plans to
handle food profiteers, and that fair
price committees have been organized
here and elsewhere. He said that he
thought the committee would I'M
consult with representatives
Clarence Wilson before proposing any
legislation regarding food profiteer-
ing He said that it would be advis-
able to get their ideas and to learn
whether the Department of Justice
has sufficient powers under the food
control act to handle the situation.
The opinion was expressed today that
people of the District should be con-
siderably encouraged over the prompt
action Of the Senate on the rent mat
ter. 1t was admitted that legislation
attempting in any way to fix the
pricesfof food and clothing was hard
nut to crack. The constitutionality
and the practicability of such meas
ure must be considered. 1t was neces-
sary not to interfere with production
of food through too great regulation
of prices, or else the cure would be
worse than the disease, it was said.
D. C. Subcommittee to Meet.
The District subcommittee will meet
shoes, at which representatives Of the
Federal Trade Commission and local
shoe dealers will be heard. At that
time the committee will outline it's
future program. The committee al
ready has taken voluminous testi-
mony on the subject of food prices in
the District of Columbia.

SLOW GROWTH OF GRAMMAR
Interesting 60 Note Its Pre0rees since
The Days Of chauoer and
Sh&LG0speare.

In the days OF ChAuoer there were
undoubtedly differences among writ
ers which made their grammar and
spelling seem singular 20 u yet crude
though they were, the art Of literary
composition was well advanced
That, however, was net the greatest
age; 1t came In the HiEabethAn Pc
Rod; and while the literary PECULIAR
ties OF Shakespeare's style were strong
ly defined, II could net be said In any
sense that they revealed lack Of knowl-
edge in either grammar Or spelling,
the standards OF that day being suited
to the culture Of the time.
And a great advance had been made
over the days of Chaucer. In the days
of Addison, Johnson, Swift, Congreve
and Goldsmith we find a great advance
with more unity in both grammar and
spelling.
The authorized version Of the Bible
In the line of literary workmanship
noted the greatest advance Of all and
reached a point which has not been
surpassed II, indeed, equaled.
There was a certain Latitude In spell
ing, It is true, to which we today look
back with interested curiosity; but
even that was not the result Of igno-
rance, but rather Of custom, which al
lowed the latitude, and IL was In nc
sense a literary dishgursment-ChTis

ANTS are divided into three sorts
for every species. These kinds are
officer, soldier and worker. There are
about one officer to ten soldiers and
one soldier to two workers." He tslla

INFORMATION NEEDED

Editor Star: / see from the pub
lie press that committee is busy
formulating data and information
relative to the proposed bond issue OF
81. 5000 for macadamized roads. l
respectfully suggest that this commit
tee, or some one else acquainted with
the facts, include in the data being
prepared, information in response to
the following inquiries:
/. Will any part of the funds pro-
vided by the state for the construc-
ton of state, or state aid, roads be
applied to the construction and main
tenance of such road within the limits
of incorporated cities and towns?
2. Will any part of the funds
raised by the proposed county bond
issue be applied to such construction
and maintenance of highways thru
the limits of incorporated cities and
towns?
8. If no part of the state funds,
and no part of the proceeds of the
bond issue is to be so applied, what
means are contemplated to prevent
skips or breaks in highways passing
through such incorporated cities and
towns?
Heretofore, when public roads were
built by taxation, one-half of the tax
levied for road purposes on property
within the limits of municipalities
was returned by the county commits
sioners to the municipality for use
and aid in keeping up and maintain
ing streets. and when paving is re.
sorted to the abutting property own.
er on each side is assessed two-thirds
and the remaining third is paid by
the municipality from the revenue
arising from general taxes.
i If the contemplated roads passing
through municipalities should not bt
of uniform width, construction anc
material, I fear that the full benefit:
sought to be accomplished may not bt
realized. Some of the municipalities
even with the aid of the assessment
: against abutting property owners
could not afford the expense incident
TO the construction of paved or ma
cadamized roads of uniform WIDTH
and materials through their limits
!: and to many it will appear to be un
just to have the property in munic
qualities assessed to pay interest ant
principal of county bonds for roaC
purposes, if no part of the proceed
CT such bonds. and no part of stat,
funds. is to be applied to the construc
ton of roads through the municipal
limits.
. The assessed valuation of propert,
within municipal limits for state ant
county purposes constitutes a consid
cradle part of the total valuation
. within the county, and the propert.
within the limits of municipalitie
will therefore contribute correspond
ingly to the tax levies for the pay
nlent of interest and principal of tn
proposed bond issue.
This communication is not intendet
to be either in favor of or in oppo
sition to bonds, but it simply seek

An honor has been bestowed upon
as. Once or twice we have had our
name in the Congressional Record,
but now. much to our pleased surprise,
it has appeared in the minutes of the
board of public instruction for Mar
icn county. One day, few weeks
ago, we stuck our head in the door at
q meeting-we are afraid to go en-
tirely in, for we half believe hon. A.
j. Stephens has half a brick in his
pocket for us-and besought the
members to buy an adding machine
for the superintendent Office. Much
to our surprise, a paragraph devoted
to our visit appeared in the minutes,
and an adding machine salesman, who
had a machine right here in town,
saw it, and at once went to visit
Chairman Colbert of the board, who
took the machine on approval. Its in
the superintendent Office, doing good
work and saving lots of work; and we
hope the board will back up Chairman
Colbert, and if they do we will prob
ably advocate their re-election-be-
cause it's easy for the county to get a
heap worse bunch.

ANDERsoN's ANSWERS

Editor Star: l have been requested
to reply to certain questions printed
the last issue of your paper in re-
gard to my position upon certain
matters relative to the city govern
ment.
The first question is: care you IN
favor of carrying out the city man
ager charter in spirit and in fact 2"
In reply to this question | wish first
to make it plain that mayor is an
executive officer, not in any sense a
legislative officer. AS such executive,
it is his duty to enforce the spirit and
letter of all existing laws, and it is
beyond his power to make or alter any
one of them. Of course, if elected. I
shall unhesitatingly enforce all sta,
tutes, general and special. applicable
to the city and every ordinance now
in force, or which may be hereafter
passed by the council. This naturally
includes the charter referred to as
the city manager charter. However,
the present mayor. who may be term
ed, in a sense. the father of this
charter, has found it's enforcement
extremely difficult by reason of oppo-
sition in the council, and it appears
that certain provisions of that char
ter are not acceptable to the public.
In view of these facts, and since the
people of Ocala were not consulted in
regard to the passage of this charter
in the first instance, it is my intention,
if elected, to request the council to de-
termlne by referring the matter to
the voters of the city what the will
ter, and my actions and those of the
ter, and my ctions and those of the
council, | trust, will be governed &C.
cordingly.
The second question is as follows:
and extending the city light and wa
ter plant, and bonding the city for
this purpose?"
In the electric light and water
plant, the city has its largest invest
ment, and this investment l shall, if
elected, do everything in my power
to protect and put upon a paying
basis Certainly, it needs both i'm
provement and extension, and / am
very much in favor of increasing the
city's investment in that plant by
borrowing money upon bonds, OF
otherwise, in order to put this plant
in condition to be operated economic.
ally, to bring a revenue to the city
and to meet all demands for light anc
power.
The third question, as follows: care
you in favor of strict enforcement Oh
the prohibition law and ordinances
affecting the moral condition of the
city?" | have already answered il
answering the first question. I shall
certainly enforce strictly every ordi
nance which the council has passed OF
may see fit to pass and all laws Of
the state or federal government ap
plicable to this city.

Says the Winter Haven Chief: eve
never expect to be president so there
can be no chance for a little bluff be-
ing called. but by criminy. if we had
the job for a month the first thing we
would do would be to order troops and
throw a line around those striking
buns at little Old "Newyork" with the
declaration that they would handle
freight or go without their grub. Old
Doc Tanner tasted forty days, but
take it from US, these ginks would
work in half that time. This letting
food rot while people need it to eat is
a proposition that needs vigorous

Again we see that senseless chatter
about editors doing favors to their
friends going the rounds of the press
That gag is about fifty years old, anc
breaks out about every six years. Oh
course, editors do favors to theil
friends-why shouldn't they? Isn't il
bad taste for a gentleman to. reminc
other people that he has done them Z
favor? And don't other people do fav
ors to editors? Of course, they do
They do 'em to US, anyhow. We are

a friend favor, and we'd feel NEAR
enough to spit on ourself if we evel

has not written nor dictated anything
except matters of the most pressing
in portance for weeks. We are in
formed that there is clerk in the
department of state one of whose du-
ties is to write these proclamations,
and to anyone who has studied the
rhraseology of the same it is evident
that he is a veteran. for the same
style has been observable for num-
Der of years. He has to tell US we
should be thankful, whether we are
or not. and as it is none of his bust
ness to name the many things we are
net thankful for, he always gets by
with it. The principal idea of the
American people about Thanksgiving
is to have big dinner, and they
would have it if they could without
any proclamation.
