The Allied nations are celebrating
about the punishment of William Ho-
henzollern. There is no punishment
that the mind of man can devise, or
his hand execute, that can fit the
CRIME Of him who was the kaiser. Yet
he is not altogether without punish
ment It is not likely that he has a
c9nscience-if he had, it would have
killed him ere now. But as he crouches
ii his place of refuge, the unwelcome
guest of an unfriendly nation,
realizes the terrific failure of his am
bition and compares his present
squalid condition with his imperial
magnificence of a few years ago, it is
more than probable that his mental
torture is something like that so WV
idly portrayed by Milton of Lucifer
when he fell from heaven. No crippled
survivor of the war need envy the
kaiser today. as he looks out on the
world that he tried to conquer, but
instead drove him into exile; and
whatever his contemporaries may do
with his obnoxious carcass we may be
sure that of all men whom history re-
cords ne will have the blacklist and
most hideous memory.

A traveller coming in on No. 8 last
night, and paying an auto driver 80
cents fare between the union station
and the Ocala House, said it was high
way robbery. 1t was indeed heavy
charge and no stranger could be
blamed for thinking it unreasonable.
However, the driver of the car had
driven his big auto down to the sta
ton, waited a while and returned
with only one passenger. He made
no money on the transaction, and if
he had charged less he would have
lost. The matter of transportation
between the union station and the
business center is an exasperating
one, and makes trouble for every
body. The council should pass an
ordinance to the effect that autoes
for hire that meet the trains should
carry sign announcing their rates in
plain sight, so that a man taking a
car for short ride would not be an
gered to find himself paying what he
believes is an extortionate charge.
Fifty cents from the station to the
hotels is too much, but under present
conditions we don't believe an auto
driver can meet the night trains for
less.

Says the Clearwater Sun: Brother
Cats says 100000 laborers are
needed in Florida with a population of
about 100000 souls in the state.
Let's see: 100000 laborers would
mean 100000 heads of families and
with FIVE in the family that would
give Florida 100000 people to sup
port. Those of US who want ten lusty
people to support will please speak
out. As usual he is making Florida
look foolish to the world at large dur

The following is taken from a paper

which every layman who uses the pub

"RIvERS AND HARBoRs," OR
RIVERS vs.. HARBORS

1t would seem that it was high
time for the government to begin
the improvement of the Missouri
river on scale that would
conserve it's waters and make them
a benefit to the country. to say
nothing about erosion of the soil.
BY s'the country we do not mean
California, Maine, Kentucky, or
Alabama, but the country thru
which the river flows. We would
like to see system of dams made
for all the main tributaries of the
river north of Nebraska and Iowa.
This might take years to accom-
plish, but it would be economical
in the longrun. Such scheme
should begin with the streams in
Montana and North Dakota.
We notice that the Twin Cities
are making real effort to produce
some river traffic for Uncle Sam
who has the habit of getting the
cart before the horse, when the
question of improving the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers is mention
ed,-to ply on the Mississippi.
And the following, from a gov
ernment "free- e-gratis'' publication.
would indicate that the people of
st. Louis are also boosting the
Mississippi:
"New stockyards known as

st. Louis, ILL.,, have just been
completed and we're opened for
actiye business March 1st.
The unusual thing about these
yards, according to represen-
tatives of the bureau of markets,
US. dept of ag., is that they were
built for handling river business
exclusively, traffic that is increa-
sing in volume. Seven boats ply
ing on the Missi sipi, Missouri, Illi-
nois and Ohio rivers will deliver,
it is expected, considerable num-
bers of cattle, hogs and sheep to
these yards, which are of modern
construction and have a capacity
of 2000 hogs or 1000 cattle. The
unloading facilities are of the best,
as the yard.s were located about
one hundred and fifty feet from the
river at low water, with direct con
nection With the boats at high
water level. Loading and unload
ing chutes for cars and double-deck
loading chutes for auto trucks are
also provided. The yards are ac-
