DO THEY INTEND TO BE
ALWAYS DELINQUENT?

If you look over the list of Victory
Bond buyers, you will find it is made
up principally of the same old crowd
which took up the four liberty loans.
You won't find all the old crowd,
because a good many are wearing
their last years clothes and doing
without other things usually consid-
cred as absolute necessities In order
to keep from selling the bonds already
bought. You will find some new ones
because they have some money this
year they didn't have last year. But
the majority is the same steady old
crowd.
That crowd has done about all it
can do. Most of them bought as heav-
lily as they could afford to, and some
bought more. Some could buy a little
more and probably will.
But there are a good many people
in this county who have never bought
liberty bond, tho they could buy in
thousands.
These people now have a chance to
redeem themselves, by buying Victory
Bonds. They could buy a hundred
thousand dollars worth if they would

A dispatch from Tallahassee says:
In the house this morning serious
charges were made against the she'll
fish commissioner, but the house SEEM
ed to take little interest in them as it
voted down the measure by a large
majority and without discussion. The
charges came before the house in the
shape of set of resolutions by Mr..
NARROW of Citrus county. In the pre-.
amble it is set out that the fishing
laws of the state have not been car
ried out, that the fish commissioner, j.
Asakiah Williams, has used the patrol
boat the Sea Foam, as home for his
family, carrying them with him from
place to place at the expense of the
state, and has not collected enough
from the income of the commission to
defray the expenses of the same. The
governor, therefore, was called upon
by the resolutions to see that the laws
are administered, the Sea Foam not
used for private purposes, and the
taxes properly collected.

We the men of the A. E. r.
Ask you, the ones who stayed
At home In safety and comfort
If white mans game you've play
ed.
While we were in the trenches,
Or cover the top" in a raid,
We wonder how you spent your time,
Whether you be man or maid.
Did you do your bit back home there
We're you always on the job,
Working for our welfare,
Whether soldier, marine or COB.
Did your dollars help swell the Lib
erty Loan,
Did you to the Red Cross give;
Did you grieve for those of us who
died,
Died that you might live.
Did you do the things that were clean
and right,
Or the things that were mean and
wrong,
Did you keep the promises made to us
Or were you just stringing US along.
Did you try to protect our mothers or
wives,
Try to soothe the grief and pain
Occasioned by our going,
Or did you think only of gain.
Did you help to keep US supplied with
smokes
And how did you cast your vote;
Did you consider us at the ballot box,
Or did you make US the goat.
Did you try to keep our jobs for US,
Or try from US to steal;
To put it short, did you give to us
A clean or dirty deal.
We're coming home, two million
strong,
Our work over there is done,
And We'll want to know just what you
are
And just what you have done.
We're coming home with eyes to see
And we're neither dumb or deaf,
So prepare for us a full accounting
To the men of the A. E. F.

The Tallahassee correspondent of
the Tampa Times says: The evil of
unconsidered local bills passed by
both houses on the plea that "they are
purely local measures" is recognized
by all who have anything to do with
legislative affairs. Hundreds of them
are passed every session of the leg
islature. The constitutional provision
that they shall have been advertised
for 80 days has become an absolute
dead letter due to a ruling of the su-
preme court that if the journal shows
no evidence as to whether the bill has
been advertised or not, the court must
rule that of course it has been so adj
vertised. In consequence nobody
makes pretense of advertising local
bills any more. One or two condi-
lions that are as autocratic in their
ideas of government as anything Rus
STA ever exhibited under the car or
under the later autocrats, the Boil
sheviki, have already come to light In
this session. Others are undoubtedly
hid away in the bills, few of which
have been read by more than the man

The Tallahassee correspondent of
the Times Union says in regard to the
Wakulla picnic for the legislature last
Sunday: "Mr. w. H. Folks, represen-
tative from Marion county, when call
ed upon, thanked Wakulla county for
the invitation to the picnic that had
been extended the legislature and said
he was honored by being asked to adj
dress the gathering. In the course of
his talk, he mentioned the fact that he
fought at Natural Bridge until his
gun became so hot he could not load
it. He had also helped stop the enemy
at Gainesville and Cedar Key and
met him at Olustee. After the war
during the three hard years of recon-
struction he had been one of those to
don the white cap and robes. He did
not fear threatened race troubles
mentioned by the speakers who pre-
coded him, because what Southern
men had done before could easily be
repeated. In the afternoon Represen-
tative Folks presided and introduced
Representative R. A. Green of Brad
ford, as candidate for state superin-
tendent of public instruction, but in
his speech Mr.. Green did not say
whether he would enter the race
against Professor Sheats or not.

who introduced them. The practice is
one of the chief arguments for a con-
stitutional convention, for it is vir-
tually an abrogation of the democrat
ic right of home rule. It is also
practically an abrogation of the right
Of majority rule. A constitution
which would provide that local char
tiers must be amended at home under
broad general provisions and would
forbid the passage of local acts alto
gether would save more than the con-
vention would cost, even if its ex-
penses did run up, as its enemies are
constantly saying, to 100000 for a
session. There would be no such ex-
pense but if there were, the saving in
local bills alone would more than
make it up in two years time.

it would thin out the horde of inspec-

NELSON RELIC IS FOUND
(Detroit News

An authentic Nelson relic which re- lates to the Battle of Trafalgar, and in an excellent state of preservation, has been discovered among various documents in an old desk at a Lewes residence. The relic, which measures about twelve by eight feet, is form of instructional code and is signed by Nelson. A number of squares are drawn on the document and inside many of these squares, which evidently indicate the positions in which the ves- sells composing the fleet were to lie, are written the names of all the ships which took part in the battle while along the left and top margins are various eolored pennants, all of which had apparently been painted on board the Victory.
