first because it is novel and next, because it has
elements of appeal in it. Senator Wesley
Jones, Of Washington, Republican and him.
self most estimable citizen. has advanced the
proposal that the Republican national conven-
ton next year nominate two southern-bo
statesmen to head the Republican ticket Nor
is the washingtonian satisfied to suggest
abstract idea. He has something very concrete
to add He offers the names Of his favorites
along with the title to his program.
It is the confident conviction of Senator Jones,
he AYERS, that the nomination of his colleagues,
Senator Miles Pondexter, born in Tennessee
and educated in Virginia, by the Republicans
for the presidency and the nomination Of Gov
ernor-elect Ed Morrow, Of Kentucky, born and
bred in the Blue Glass State. for the vice-presi-
dency will turn the trick. He believes that the
South, which has been waiting all these years
for the opportunity its vote for South
erner at the head of a Republican ticket, will
be stampeded for Poindexter and Morrow.
Moreover, Senator Jones is serious about all
this. He does<not put forward his plan in any
flippant, fashion. He seems from his statements
carried away with the possibility that the Re-
publican invasion of the South can be success
fully accomplished by the mere expedient of
naming these two men next year. He assumes
that the South is Democratic for no other reason
than it's prejudice against Northern-born Re-
publicans Therefore he wishes to bait the
Southern voters. "Poindexter and Morrow" is
his slogan-one Tennesseean by the accident OF
birth and the other Kentuckian both by acct
dent and design. Maybe it will work. We are
willing to it tried and invite Senator Jones
to go the limit with his aliuring program.

This is the first definite effort that Palatka

is a spirit of cooperation 1t is fostered by
men who couple enthusiasm with patience. OF

But there is thing certain. The effort

It will have proven to the rest of the state

When a course of action is decided

Talk in Senate.
In the senate hearing consideration
If resolution proposing reduction
of the amount of currency in circu'
lation, Senator Meyers, Z ,mocrat,
Montana, said that high living costs
were productive of Bolshevism and
anarchism. Senator Poindexter, Re-
publican, Washington, said that the
president had been given $100,000,-
900 to feed distressed European peo-
Piles and added:
"But it would be impossible to get
an appropriation Of s1,0O0,0OO for
food for Americans.
One of the reasons urged for the
appropriation to supply food to Eu-
rope, Senator Poindexter said, was
maintenance of meat and food prices.
While the senate debate was in
progress Representative Igoe, Demo
crat, Missouri, appealed informally to
two house members to recommend
adoption of his resolution for an in
quiry into the cost of living but no
formal decision was reached.
One resolution proposes that the

to determine whether prices have
been increased so as to offset federal
taxation, and the other directs the
federal trade commission to deter
mine the cause and necessity of in
creased prices for shoes, sugar, cof-

that government control would end as

for advantageous operation of the wire
systems, action by congress is the only
remaining step necessary. 1t is fur

cure revenues to meet greatly increased
expenditures, threatens in some locali-
ties IA return to public ownership or
