Employment of soldiers who are
discharged from the military service
is one of the questions that have
given rise To great deal of dis
CuSSi0n and there seems 10 he consd-
cradle difficulty in solving it. The
gen"~al belief is that there is employ
mcnt for any number of men at this
time. At least ii is said that there
never was such demand for labor Of
n certain kind. but il is manual labor.
A great many people are having diff
Guilty in finding men to do work and
the agricultural districts according to
reports, offer plenty of jobs for men
if they are willing to take them.
During the debate on the good roads
proposition in the post Off apprOpri-
alton bill II developed that large
number of soldiers were being used on
roads in states where there are large
encampmcnts. 1t was claimed that
this good roads appropriation would

erS on the roads. On account OF the
statement that soldiers still held in
the service were being employed on
roads a provision was inserted In the
bill which makes il mandatory to pay
these soldiers the same wages that
other men receive for that work, rath-
or than the $50 IA month they draw as

Senator Thomas of Colorado told the
senate Of a soldier Yho came to him
and talked about the many soldiers
that were now out of jobs. They are

tons. There are plenty of jobs" IL Is
quite evident that these soldiers do
not want To 90 back to the farm or 10

The drift toward Capitalization in the
federal government and toward pa
ternalism generally continues. In spite
of the protests of very few who
would still cling to the old ideas
of what the government was In
the early days. There have been
several speeches made on this subject.
and solemn warnings have been issued,
but it is observed that there Is not
much use in trying to stop the people
from coming to the government for ev-
erything possible. The idea seems to
have grown into large proportions
that the government can do almost
anything for the people, and that it is
the duty Of the government to support
the people rather than that of the peo-
pie to support the government.

The Quail Condemned

Sunday afternoon, the editor
enjoyed a social confab with a
number of farmers gathered at a
home in the southern part OF
town, Various topics were talk
ed about and one Of them was the
value to farmers of that noted
bird, the quail. All agreed that,
so far as being a friend to the
farmer is concerned, the quail is
an unmitigated fraud, that he is
very destructive to certain vege-
table crops and is, therefore, not
entitled to the protection given
him.
! One of the farmers present said
that he had an acre in string
beans that was ruined by two
Efocks of quail depredating upon
it; that they pecked holes in prac-
tically every bean-pod in the field.
He watched them carefully and
saw them do it.
Another said that he had been
killing and eating quail, off and
on, for over twenty years and had
never found in their crops any
thing except seeds, never a bug or
worm.
A gentleman who has a nice
place in the eastern part of town
told this writer not so very long
ago that flock of quail had ruin
ed some Of his vegetable crops,
particularly the English peas. He
was strong in his denunciation of
the quail as the farmers enemy
instead Of friend.
The group of farmers above re-
ferred to agreed that the meadow
lark is the farmers best bird
friend and that the equal of this
bird as destroyer of bugs and
worms is the despised skunk,
which they called pole-cat. There
IS no doubt that this little animal
IS a great destroyer not only Of |
Bugs and worms, but also of rats
md mice.

ia Gorda town council will act or

have heard about this town man.
ager government, it certainly
merits thoughtful investigation.
1t should be stated that the
manager need not be a citizen OF
the town; in fact, it is better to
secure competent manager from
abroad, one who owns no proper
ty in the town and who, therefore,
would have no reason to discrimi-
nate in his own interest.
Any one can understand at
least one advantage of the town
manager plan, and that is, it gives
the community a capable man
who can and will devote his en-
tire time and attention to the pub
lie interests; whereas, the mem
bers of the town council are hand
icapped by their own business af-
fairs and cannot give public mat
ters the time and consideration
which they ought to have.

The senate adopted resolu-
ton requesting Chairman George
P. Raney of the State Democratic
Executive committee, to call a
convention for the sole purpose of
adopting a platform. When the
convention meets, we hope it will
go outside of the object of it's call
far enough to demand the repeal
of the Bryan primary law and
the recognition of the right Of the
Democratic party to govern itself.
We agree with the Ocala Star in
the assertion that the legislature
has no more right to enact laws
governing political parties than it
has to prescribe rules and regula-
