Fiscal Affairs Bewildering.
This conclusion that the railroads
should be given up. reached by those
most concerned in the matter, is
based upon the general proposition
that Government management under
present conditions cannot be defend
ed as a success: that the fiscal affairs
of the systems are becoming more
and more bewildering; that deficits
are growing daily; that labor is be-
coming more and more insistent in
its demands, and that If the unscram-
bling process is ever to be under
taken, it should be commenced be-
fore the government has become too
heavily involved financially or the
roads too thoroughly merged to make

1t is pointed out, moreover, that
Government ownership of transporta-
ton lines is now too far removed TO
be taken into calculation. Ii there
existed any powerful sentiment on
the part of the people for such own
ership and if it seemed likely that
ownership was merely a matter of
a few more years; the chances are
that administration officials would re-
sist any movement to turn the prop
critics back. They would be more in
clined to hold on, trusting to develop
ments to justify them, until such time
as Congress might legislate upon
ownership.
Instead of a firm demand for the
outright purchase of the railroads.

Why Edges OF Coins Are MilIed.

Cues. Why are some pieces of our
money notched on their edges?-
Ans. They are so made for purpose
of discouraging filing or cutting off
of metal Milled edges, as they are
called, also aid in distinguishing the
coins by touch and to some extent
facilitate handling them.

TWO MEN AND A PARROT

Senators Lodge and Borah are like
the captains parrot, "They talk like
hell" The Man Overseas Witnessed
Senator Hitchcock and now a Wall
street inancier and the correspon-
dent of a republican newspaper are
pilloried as the ''leakers" Senators
Lodge and Borah charged that a copy
of the treaty was in unofficial
hands" in the city of New York. OF
course these distinguished states
men hoped that the country would
get the impression that the president
and his fellow delegates had surrep-
titiously furnished a copy of the
treaty to friendly financial inter
ests.' Lodge is known as the scho-
lar of the senate. There are men
who believe him to be political
pharisee, a holier-than-thou Puritan,
a statesman who in the name of pa
triotism stoops to small things. He
is proving himself to be gink.

OUR FINANCIAL POLICY

The republicans having once sue,
cessfully stolen the presidency they
think it is now legitimate to steal
anything that they can lay hands to-
They now want to steal the credit
of the financial policy of the Wilson
administration which has kept our
paper money on par with gold dur.
ing the greatest war in history and
the greatest redundancy of money.
Continental money, Confederate
money and greenback paper money
during the war between the states
fuctuated and deprecated to an
alarming extent but since Woodrow
Wilson has been in office a paper dol
lar viii buy just as much as a gold
dollar and there has been no hoard
ing of gold.
Such a record has no precedent in
history.

BISHOP cANDLERE ON REVIVAL
OF RELIGION BY THE WAR

MANY predicted that the war
would bring a revival Of religion IN
the United States; but their prophe-
cies have not been fulfilled. Our peo-
ple did not suffer enough by the war
to be humbled under the mighty hand
of God. On the contrary. they have
prospered while other peoples have
persisted, and they have become
proud and self-sufficient by reason Of
the part our nation has played in the
great conflict. The allied powers
have been aided financially by our
country in a manner unprecedented
in the history of mankind. The war
quickly came to an end when our mil
itary forces appeared overseas. ALI
these things have tended to stimu-
late pride rather than promote piety.
The people feel that they are pow
erfuI enough to take care of them
selves without the protecting and
guiding providence of God. And
since they do not depend upon God
for help, they yield little respect 70
the divine authority Hence they use
the gifts of His love in wanton indul-
gence of appetite and vanity. New
York simply shows on a large scale
what is comman from one of the land
to the other. The people are defying
their lusts and dethroning the Lord
of heaven and earth.
Nothing but a great revival will
save the. nation; and by a revival is
not meant a cheap local excitement
aroused by sensational evangelism.
but great centennial movement like
the Wesleyan revival in England and
the Great Awakening in America in
the eighteenth century"

SUCCESS AS PRISON WARDEN

Tomorrow the Reporter-Star will
print an article prepared especially
for its columns by Major L. A. OdOm,
concerning the state prison farm at
Raiford.
1t deals with ex-senator J. S. Bitch
and his method of handling his pris-
oners. Mr.. Bitch, according to the
article, has been more than success
full in his honor system. So efficient
has it proven that some sixty or sew
enty paid guards have been relieved
of duty, thereby saving the state in
this item alone, some $4,000 monthly.
Under the old system, when the men
did their work. slept, or enjoyed CD
their recreation at the point of a gun,
there was scarcely month or even
week went by, that some prisoner
did not attempt, or succeed in his at
tempt, to get away. An escape now
is unheard of
1t goes to prove that Mr.. Bitch.

AS TO TIME

Ocala has all sorts of time. 1t is
good or bad according to the DISPOSE
ton of the people one meets. One
will pronounce it good, another lust
''mednarys and still another Will
paint it in awful coIors One thinks
that the millennium is approaching
and another Gabriel is getting
his trumpet in readiness to sound
the judgment day.
Then Ocala has it's own official time,
feleraI time and sun time. Some
contend that being hebind all other
towns in the point of time gives it
the reputation of being "pokey;"
while others that it invests her as
being the only town in the state with
nerve enough to manage her own af-
fairs.
But after all, what is time?
st. Augustine in his Confessions"
says of it:
What then, is time? If no one
asks me, know. If l try to explain
it to one who asks, 1 do not know.
Yet l say with confidence that +
know. But if nothing passes away,
there would be no past time If moth
ing were to come, there would be no
future time. If nothing were, there
would be no present time.
yet these two times, past and flu.
ture, how can they be when the past
is not now and the future is not yet?
las for the present, if it we're not
present and did not pass over into
the past, it would not be time but
One of the members of congress
when discussing the change of time
said of it:
Time appears short or long to us
as we live the several intervals max
ing it up. After all, the duration, in
realty, depends somewhat on us. IT
is at best mere measurement of
space. 1t neither lengthens the day
nor shortens the night 1t is but
convenience, medium, a budapest.
Some grow old under it before their
day Some remain young to the
end"
1t has been we'll said "that in the
universe of eternity there is no. ris-
ing and setting of the sun, no day.
no night, no years, no centuries Sun
time is merely local time in it's reIa-
ton to eternity" That human chro-
noigy belongs to this solar system
alone and we measure time while the
sun shines and throws shadows
against background which we call
history" Men will come and men
will go, sbut time goes on forever

ing Of something you have got. Our
necessity in becoming a great inter
national trading nation is to find 9TH
er people with goods that we are pre-
pared to buy Goods must, in the
main. be paid for in goods We can,
not go on accommodating gold or ac-
cumulating securities. and we do not
want to- We must open our markets
so that other peoples can have an
opportunity to pay for things that
they want, else they cannot buy the
things that we have.
I'VE are going to stand, if Europe
comes back, the nation which is the
reservoir of the worlds credit, the
storehouse of raw material. There
never was that combination before
in history. Here we have got the
greatest richness of both and back
of that, our manufacturers have
condition that is unmatched and new

They have got this great homogeneous
market of America, 105,000,000 peo-
pie who wear the same kind of hats,
and the same kind of shoes, who
haven't tariff barrier, who have no

oberfowing from our domestic pro-
duction, we can go into the markets
of the world and, I believe, be invul-
-nerable:. can see no other way
To-day we are making steel in the
United States $40 ton cheaper than
it can be made in England. The
high cost of coal, the high cost of
transportation, the advance in wages
have all eliminated there in raising
the cost. of production. Just think of
that simple statement, $40 ton
cheaper production of steel in the
United States than in. England.~
81 believe these rises in wages in
England have been absolutely neces-
sary. I think England's differential
in the industrial markets of the
world has been underpaid labor, and
believe she has lost that differen-
tial because she must now pay better.
But there is a lesson we might we'll
take home. We cannot have under
payment of labor here either. The
nation that dominates the world is
going to be the nation that brings
about harmonious relations between
capital and labor
"I believe the greatest question in
the world today is this adjustment of
differences between capital and Ia
Dor. 1t has got to be approached
with an understanding and a liber-I
alism on the part of the employers
that goes further than anything we
had heretofore; but if it is so ap-i
and if we can add to these
other tremendous advantages that
this nation has, real understandings
between capital and labor which will
bring labor gratefully to it's job, will
make labor see that production is for
labor's benefit, and the greater the
the greater the benefit, |
then I believe that labor can have al
greater share than ever it has had,
and that capital can have a greater
share, too The greatest opportunity
that America can have is to reach !
that settlement"

SENATOR FLETCHER

In point of service Senator Duncan
u. Fletcher of Florida ranks seven
teenth in a total of ninety-six sena-
tors. AS a democratic senator he
ranks ninth.
1t is the history of this country
that those men who are kept longest
after having proved their fitness for
the work, are the ablest to benefit
their country, and are given most con-
sideration when they speak and act.
The states that change their con-
gressional units with every passing
political within or polling time, are
unknown in the pages devoted to
craftsmanship and accomplishment.
Florida feels safe in the hands of
it's present senatorial delegation. 1t
feels that no change should be made
in it's representation, because all else
being forgotten and put behind, the
coming next decade is going to be
one which will call for most careful
and able handling by men of expert
ence, ability and honesty. and men
in whom the nations natinal law
makers have a confidence builded on
the test of time.
We feel that to make a change in
the senatorial representation next
year by substituting any, even the
Senator Fletcher, would be almost
suicidal to our interests and to the
welfare of the state and the South.
The longer the state keeps such
men as Senator Fletcher, the better
for the country, and the sooner
chronic politicians learn that the ma
tional representatives of any state
are secretly safe from partisan or
petty prejudice and political change,
the better. it will be for the poIiti-
clans and the state.
