In Jacksonville some time ago, the
girl employees of the telephone COM
pany went on strike, which possibly
they had right to do. But instead
of hunting for other jobs, they picket
ed the telephone exchange and. tried
to keep other girls from taking their
places, which they had no right to do
Days passed. and the strikers were
not reinstated; meanwhile they con-
stantly abused the strikebreakers as
they went to or left work. The other
day, the strikebreakers, tired of be-
ing called out of their names, sailed
into their prosecutors, and there was
a fight in which scratches, slaps and
hairpulling were prevalent. Most peo-
pie are amused by the occurrence. But
to us it seems sad that girls from
American homes should fight in the
public streets and claw each other
like so many cats. It's mighty bad
sign.

Mr.. Wilson did not evade the issue
when it came to speaking of the Bos-
ton police strike. He said: ''The strike
of the policemen of a great city, leav-
ing the city at the mercy of an army
of thugs, is crime against civiliza-
ton. The obligation of policeman
IS as sacred and direct as the obliga-
ton of a soldier. He is public ser
want, not private employee, and the
whole honor and safety of the COM
munity is in his hands; he has no
right to prefer any private advantage
to the public safety. hope that that
lesson will be burned in so that it will
never again be forgotten, because the
pride of America is that it can exer-
else self-control."

During the melon season, the gov
eminent had a man here who was sup
plying the growers with information
about the markets. Everybody sup
posed he was obtaining his informa-
ton from the government, but the
Star is informed that it was supplied
to him by a leading commission
house. 1t was reliable so far as ii
went, but was not extensive enough
And one can't help thinking what a
fine opening such a practice would
give a dishonest commission house
We wonder how much government in
formation springs from similar
sources.

A couple of automobiles came very
near coming together on South Main
street, between the Munroe & Cham
bliss Bank and the Holder block Sat
urday afternoon. Only the quick use
of the brake prevented smashup. II
is conceded by nearly all the autoists
in town that this narrow and much
used street is too crowded with cars,
and that they should be parked on one
side or the other. The council should
make a regulation to this effect.

Edward P. Martin. formerly of
Ocala, but for the last two years a
resident of Plant City. has been ap-
pointed probation officer of Hills
borough county, by Gov. Cats. Mr..
Martin is clever young man, and we
are personally glad he has been given
the Office. At the same time we think
that the governor should have ap-
pointed to fill an office in Hillsborough
county a man who had lived in it long
enough to become acquainted with the
people.

What did the Florida Marketing
Bureau do to justify its existence
and expense to the people this year
We know of several growers who lost
part or all of their truck or melon
crops this season, just like they used
to do before there was any marketing
bureau. We notice the bureau sends
to favored papers, strings of those
nice little paragraphs telling about
how to farm, but as the same infor-
nation could be obtained from any
good agricultural journal it is rather
superfuous to print it in papers that
only use it to make good the position
of a patent medicine advertisement.

The old awnings on Bay street are
being torn down and the fronts of the
buildings are being improved. AS this
is the principal thoroughfare from
the new union depot to the center OF
the city, Bay street should be made
to present much more attractive ap-
pearance than it has in the past
Times Union.
How different! In this city we care
fully preserve our old awnings to re-
fresh the eyes of our own people and
entrance those of our visitors.

The street department should have
the underbrush cut out on both sides
of the road at the double curve on the
Silver Springs boulevard just east of
the Hall farm. The brush keeps the
autoists going in opposite directions
at this point from seeing each other
until their cars almost meet. Half a
dozen men with axes could cut all the
brush down in half a day.

COVERS THE CASE

Editor Star: About the time of
good Queen Bess, when people began
really to open their eyes to trade, and
began to rely upon commerce to sup
ply their wants, the laws against
monopolies, boarding, forestalling,
cts, sprang up. Since then, too, all
have been illegal ALI these laws and
many more are now in force and may
be invoked against the packers.
AS a temporary war measure it
would be well to extend and broaden
the food control plll. 1t should apply
to other things beside food.
All the other pending measures
now before Congress, which are sup
posed to be aimed at the packers, are
either bad or worse. They would hit
everybody-the producers and the
consumers.
sincerely trust that our Florida
representatives may vote against all
these bills and may follow no such
false, and. in the end, costly trails.
Let's do not get excited, but merely
look about US for facts.
Ii you can't see you can at all
events feel the bludgeon of high
prices directed at you from every
quarter. The shiilaleh used by the
packers must appear to you by COM
parison as a slender reed when we
ascertain the load of profit in the
mere retail of those meats.
| Witness, the evidence before Con-
gress about 40 to 100 per cent. profits
on fresh meats in New York and
Washington.
Such profits are not uncommon in
the retail trade in fresh meats. fresh
fruits, etc., even when they are local
products. The retailer has excuses.
| Witness, again. following the usual
custom, the entire output of canned
fruits and vegetables for the whole
United States for the good year 1915
was sold many months ago by the
Icanners to the jobbers, great anC
small, and those jGbbers are now sell
J ing their contracts, on which they
paid nothing, at 20 to rs per cent ad
vance without touching the goods.

BOONE LOGAN

Boone Logan, of Pineville, who is
dead at his winter home in Florida,
mortgaged his property in Rowan
county 10 buy 100 repeating rifles
and arm his friends to wipe out the
Craig Tolliver "gang" in Morehead
A Gordon of men who thrown around
the town. The Chesapeake e. Ohio
trains were tagged outside of the
town, that there might be no inter-
ruption of the battle, and the wiping
out of the Tollivers, desperate out
laws with every crime to their dis
credit, was done with thoroughness
which bespoke the vigorous mind
and hand of a fearless leader.
AT the end of the battle the Toll
livers were laid in row upon the
platform of the Chesapeake & Ohio
station as an exhibit in proof of the
success of the project which Mr..
Logan and his friends undertook
when the law had confessed its fail
ure, and when, it was believed, the
Governor of Kentucky had winked
when Mr.. Logan visited the execu-
tive office, outlined his plan and was
told that "the law must be obeyed."
Brete Harte would have found in
the personality of the late Mr.. Lo-
gan a theme in which he would have
delighted. He was quiet, modest
man, gentleman in appearance, in
demeanor, in fact. He was courte-
GUS in his social relationships, cap
able in the practice of his profess
sion, devoted to peace and quiet.
He did more, between early forenoon
and late afternoon, to inaugurase
peace and quiet in Morehead than
the efforts of courts had accomplish
ed in a generation. His was reform
through militancy, but it was thor
oughgoing reform. Unlike many
uplifters less successful in the at
tainment of desirable objects, ne
was not inclined to boast.-Louis-

ANOTHER DEBT PAID

Dock Comanche used to travel up
and down the middle states repre-
senting a nationally advertised
house that manufactured household
commodities. He was rafting
good salesman. He posed as good
Indian, and was proud of his name.
But in matters financial he was
as irresponsible as child.
One night he was having little
poker party in his room at the hotci
Presently the telephone bell tinkled'
Dock went to the instrument.
"Say I'll be right down." he re-
piled to the voice over the wire.
Fifteen minutes later he was OPP
ening another jack pot. "My tailor"
he explained, referring to his brief
absence, "Owed him sixty. Gave
him my note at 80 days. Thank
the Lord that's another bill paid"
OF course there was q kick-back
to Docks payment.
But when we pay our debt to
Uncle Sam, to the boys who fought
for our liberty over there, to our
self respect and the good opinion OF
the world at large, the shoe will be
on the other foot.
There will be comeback to ours.
Docks note eventually came due.
He paid it after an action in court.
But when we pay our debt to
Uncle Sam there will be no disagree
able afterclaps. Instead, he will
hand us a bond, and after many
days it will mature and we will be
able to collect the comeback by
merely presenting 1t at the paying
teller's window at the corner bank.
That is some rare bird of a debt.
Some fine system of payment.
Even financial incorrigibles like
Dock Comanche could get along at
that.
And why competent, intelligent,
capable folks of affairs with the
least glimmer of loyalty in their
make-ups can hesitate to do the !
part by Uncle Sam under these con-
ditions is past our understanding.
And we simply don't believe they
will.
We have a mans sized faith in
the American people.
And greater confidence in the
success of the coming Victory-Lib-
erty loan.

WILL STORE LIMESTONE

The farmers of Daviess county are
buying a large amount of ground
limestone for use this season. In
January 1913 tons were delivered and
more would have been bought if
storage of some kind had been avail
able. The cooperation of the Web
ster Stone Co., and several of the
local coal companies solved the
problem for the farmers. One of the
coal companies will handle ground
limestone at 48 cents per ton. This
makes the price to the farmer from
the shed at the railroad, 1910 per
ton. He can, however, take load
of limestone home at any time he is
homeward bound with an empty
wagon.
